Couchie, have a wonderful time and bring back recaps !! :F_05BL17blowkiss: I liked the Billy Bush interview and the Billboard interview. I am happy to get any tidbit from Clay about this album . I just love that man and his Voice. The snippets have made me very antsy to get the whole CD !!! It is going to be a thing of beauty ! re the google alerts this morning : I ignore all the BS !!!! I only click on the good stuff ! I am so amazed that our open-minded society's media spend so much time and energy in prying and mocking something like this. eta- cindilu2, it is good to see you, I wanted to tell you I love your banners ! :F_05BL17blowkiss:

I am so happy with OMWH's numbers on itunes this morning !!! #7 album !!!! As far as fans' overreaction to whatever is written about Clay ? I don't unerstand it. People will keep writing this sort of thing for hits as long as there is a reaction. TMZ ? .....pfffft.... I can't stand what they do whether it is to Clay or other celebrities. So I don't read and I don't watch. I think TMZ is what is wrong with the media today, the need for sensationalisn at all cost. I am just happy that we are getting a new album with new music. Happy that Clay's run in Spamalot is such a success. Happy that there is going to be a tour this year sometime. I am so there. I love that man.

wow... I really like this picture !! I listened to the snippets and was so happy to hear the tempo of the songs. A nice mix. His voice sounds so good. I can't wait to hear it all.... can't wait !! I'll take the review. Not bad at all. It is so hard to keep up with all that is happening !!!!!

*pets new signature addition lovingly* I just wanted to WORD what couchie wrote !!! Rock on !!!! EW's point of view ?...... honestly, I don't care.

"on my way here" It is so pretty. I love it. It is a new sound for Clay, definately not a ballad more like an independent sound. You know. I am all chocked up listening, how I love his voice and the emotion he brings. Bravo Clay !!!!

I hope that fans will let the new song grow "organically" on the radio if the single is released to radio stations.

Claygasm, I agree with your long and interesting post about the USA week-end interview. I read the article and then went to the boards and could not believe all this angst !! playbiller, your assessment of the ATDW promotion is right on. I always thought that RCA knew that the crap is all people wanted to talk about. Therefore a low budget promotion. I also think and agree that the overreaction of some people vis a vis the tabloid crap is what kept it alive for so long ! I do think that the winds have changed and Spamalot has been just what the doctor ordered. I am anxious to see what kind of approach Clay and his team will take to promote the new material !! All I know is that I can't wait to hear his voice sing new songs !

Beautiful banner ! Beautiful man !

He is soooooooooooooo niiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiice loooooooooookiiiiiiiiing !!!! I pre-ordered this morning, I am so excited with the little snippets we got !!! Can't wait !!!

While I will be getting color covered ones at the end of the month, I'm a bit bummed that they didn't have these ready to go in January when I originally ordered a couple. Le sigh. thank you for posting this information. I ordered one. :F_05BL17blowkiss:

I agree totally. I watched the montage of "Celebrate me home" on that guy's site. It is marvellous, I tell you. wow, just wow !!! I can't wait for some more news on the upcoming album....it is making me all giddy and stuff .... eta- I just noticed I am not a "dog walker" anymore I am now guarding the body !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Clay does the best he can to please this fandom. It is never enough. It is true that saying " you give them a hand, they want the arm " or something like that !!!! ( I am not sure the correct saying )

Cotton, I am very sorry about your Aunt. I love the quote your posted. thank you.

Wanda, that was soooooooooo funny !!! I send it out to so many people !!!

Yep, that's what I want too. This time, I want the music to reflect his choice and vision. I hope the reviews are at least objective. I want the world to cut him some slack and stop using him as a punchline. Respect, baby, this time I want him to get it. Just writing this is making me all shmoopie. you are so right about the fans reactions.....I can see it now... I hope you reconsider about H,T and E.. I love the way he sang that final night !!! Just lovely. I can't wait to have my hands on new music and soak it all in with my good headphones and forget the world around me for that moment.

2008 just ROCKS !!! May 6th ! I am ready Clay ! Bring it on ! I am excited about the theme, I can't wait to hear his journey of the past 5 years in songs !! I love this man and I hope his hard work pays off big time !

the banner is dangerously beautiful !! His eyes are a thing of beauty. Can you just imagine a close up like this in a movie...sigh..... I would so love it !

muski, I loved you post !! :F_05BL17blowkiss: I like to accentuate the positive and there is soooooooo much positive with Clay right now !! He looks all kinds of hot in the stage door pictures ( thank you to all who bring them as well as the wonderful recaps ) and seems happy ! I love that man so much.

cha cha, the Spamalot project is fantastic !!!! wow.... it is such a work made with love. thank you. :F_05BL17blowkiss: I loved the interview on Broadway.com, everything about it. Clay is having fun, the CD is on track. I am a happy fan. I can't wait to listen to new music, with new lyrics, new beat!!! I know I will be sitting with my favorite headphones soaking it all in. I don't understand the angst. I am here to support Clay and to enjoy him and all he offers. The joy of it, you know. Also to look at him, he is so gorgeous !

I feel the same way. I don't get upset like I used too. I don't worry about haters or loony fans. Clay is doing so well and his future seems so bright. I think he has found a balance between private and public life and it shows. I love to read the recaps !!!!

re : eye liner I wear contacts and I have to take them out before to remove the eye liner when I wear some. So maybe Clay waits until he gets home to careful remove the eye liner. Anyway, he gets out very fast after the show for us and I am very happy he doesn't care if he still has make up on ! He looks gorgeous and happy, I am so thankful for all the recaps and pictures at the Stage Door ! :F_05BL17blowkiss: off to watch the clip from WRAL....

The hair shaking little video..... .... he is soooooooo fiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiine.....

muski, hee.... I had to look at it for a minute.

Propounder made an excellent post at the CH. I agree with everything she wrote. I don't know how to bring it over here. My thoughts : In the spur of a moment everyone will just react differently. I wish people would stay away from all those blogs who blast Clay constantly but they don't. I wish people would stop being so judgemental . But in the end they are just people reacting in their own way. So, like you, Wanda, I don't understand it, but that is the make up of this big and diverse fandom. ----- On to a happier topic. It seems that Clay is really enjoying him in Spamalot and I hope as many of us as possible will be able to see him. It seems he has found his "click" !!!
