I listened to the interview. Started off playing "Suspicious Minds"...than the host came on to intro Clay...first said what a wonderful song it was..great production, great arrangement and what a great singer Clay was..I think we were all sitting with our mouths open at our computers to hear a radio DJ actually compliment Clay. Introduced Clay as a great singer, great actor, best selling author..even Clay I think was impressed. When he came on DJ asked if he was having a good day and he said he was now after that intro. Asked about AI..Clay said he has only watched a few youtubes..told the high school analogy again about why he doesn't watch the show. Talked about the songs on AI in Season 2 and how they were from the 60's, etc.(tying in Clay's CD) and Clay said most of the songs were picked by the producers because they like that music and encouraged the contestants to sing certain songs...they chose Vincent for him. Talked about Moon River and how Nigel wanted him to sing it on the show but he didn't so put it on the CD for Nigel. Talked about Simon.. not as mean as he seems and the criticism is good training for when you are out doing real auditions, etc...helps to give you a thick skin. Talked about the tour and really pushed the Westbury tour date. Talked about the fans...Clay said we are enthusiastic, but not a cult and anyone is free to come to the concerts. Oh talking about singers and songs today...Clay talked about how the older songs have better melodies...used to be about the singer and the songwriter, now it is about the songwriter and the producer. Said he thinks singers today go into a studio and talk and then they autotune it to sound good (paraphrasing). Asked Clay what advice he would give to parents whose kids wanted to go into show business and he talked about his Mom and how she never pressured him but was always supportive and that was a good tactic. Said he has a son now and doesn't know if he will go into the business but if he has a passion for it he will support him. Ended with "Can't take my eyes off of you" Interview is in the vault at CV.

Recap of the interview..short but sweet: Bill and Linda: You saw him on American Idol..remember introducing him at the State Fair Grounds when he was a freckled face kid. Clay: That was a long time ago; I feel old, the freckles are now covered by wrinkles. Talking about Hockey Game: Clay: It is like having the Olympics in Raleigh Talking about American Idol Tour and how special that was for him to come back to Raleigh. Clay: Have a picture on my wall someone took if the moment; sure I was crying, it was pretty big moment. Bill and Linda: Is there pressure singing the anthem; do you worry about messing up the words? Clay: When you are me and you are singing for a hockey game you have to have a bit of preparation to be booed. Hockey fans are usually drunk before the game and they are not coming to see Clay Aiken..I am holding them up. Brief mention of tours and then thank you’s; very short interview.

I am very happy too! Love that Clay is getting good publicity (especially from AI) and looking forward to the tour and Broadway Backwards..should be a fun night! Kim

Wheee for the tour mention! But at how he plans his tour. The first show could be interesting. Not sure what he needs to plan..once he gets the set list done...than it is pretty much a go except for banter and chatter and that is much more fun when it is spontaneous. Not directed at you..but no surprise that certain fans would choose that particular line to nitpick at...this fandom really is predictable. Kim
