  1. What hurt Trenyce for me was her incessant tapping on the microphone. Drove. Me. Crazy. Well that and the fact that no matter what she did with her voice, her eyes were dead. It made everything she performed lack life/spark no matter how much effort and energy she put into it. Has that changed with new life experiences? I hope so. http://www.google.com/url?q=http://www.cas...hwFB0c44XrKHHHA you can listen to her new single here. I absolutely love Clay in glasses . ADTW is my least favorite of Clay's cd's although there are some songs I like on it. I went to play it one day and when I opened it the cd was replaced by a Holiday movie. My niece decided to "borrow" it & put a dvd in place of the cd. Just like when when my MOAN cd disappeared. Then I kept hearing Invisible (over & over again) and found my niece took that one too!! Finally, I just bought her her own CD's. She did do a report on OMWH cd. She had to do a cd review for a school project. Her favorite song was FAlling and she gave the CD 3 and half stars out of 4. Her least favorite song was SAU (she said she didn't understand it (she was 11 at the time)) BTW I did get an e-mail from Mohegan Sun's guest relations dept. At first for some reason it went to my trash box. Glad I checked there. The woman told me they had many request for handicap seating but they would do their best with my request. When Mom & I went to pick up the tickets. We were given tickets in the first section last row (no stairs!!). So finally mom got to see her dream concert. My dad came too and he said that Barry Manilow was the best concert he had ever gone too. Dad said "you know some singers just go out & sing but you could tell BW really loved what he was doing". The 2 big screens showed clips of BW singing through the years. He had 3 encores. One of which was for Mandy. The screens showed clips of him singing the song on TV for the first time in the 70's then the lights came on & he came out on stage singing the song. They handed out glow sticks for the last song that said Fanillow on them and some gold streamers shot out into the audience from the stage after the last song. It was a lot of fun and I was so happy that my mom finally got to see her dream concert. sorry this is so long!!
  2. Yeah! I am so happy for you and everyone who is able to go to the Gala. I can't not attend due to financial reasons but so enjoy all the recaps & little videos people post. Jesse, Brian & I have been saving all our spare change & we plan on donating in October. Which is the month of both of their birthdays. Jesse will finally be a teenager 13 (just think she was in Kindergarten when she voted for Clay on AI). She said it took her so long to get there (teenager years). We were playing Monopoly the other night and she told me she is thinking she wants to be a chef. She said she loves to cook & especially bake. The made us dinner the other night. "Gourmet" tuna salad that she crushed almonds and some secret ingredients. Then she made a cake from scratch (it was really good). She even cleaned everything up. The next day of course Brian had his friends over & the kitchen was a mess again (he is 13 now). Jesse said "Who messed up my kitchen!" We are going to see Julie & Julia tonight. And some food network stars are coming to Foxwoods to do some demonstration cooking & book signings in October. Will have to check it out to see if it's something she will be interested since she seems so passionate about this cooking.
  3. My secret I have never understood all the Tyra hair love always loved Clay reddish hair & with spikes ( I am always the opposite of everyone I guess).

    Top Chef

    they had to do was bring back the former contestants & all the drama is back. (well some of it anyway). Lots of twists in the last episode. Guess it was Anita's time to go. She barely lost out to Micheal but the oyster bar I think was the deal breaker. She just could not change up her ideas & Jamie was taking to long with her tasks. Some of her food looked really good throughout the show. The championship is Wednesday at 10:15pm (after the start of the new season ) All the top chef winners will be back to be part of the judging panel. Can't wait!!
  5. Thanks Jmh123 I know tea always helped me a bit with the cramps. I will have to do some research on it. Jesse had health class last year (just in time ). Her mom had the "talk", I gave her the "talk" and her grandmothers gave her the "talk". She is probably all talked out We are going to see GI Joe in about an hour. Hopefully it will be good. Glad to hear Julie & Julia was good. That would have been my choice but GI Joe was one that both of them could agree on. Don't ever believe a teenage boy when he says he likes hot food. I gave him a volcano taco today & he looked like he was about to die! He did say that it cleared his sinuses & he can breathe now Jesse thought his eyes looked sad too. I told her he was singing a angst love song and she said "oh so his trying to look sexy into the camera?" "What do you mean trying" I answered. Both my niece & nephew rolled their eyes at me. So far I have picked 1 winner out all 10 which I guess proves my taste are different then everyone else.
  6. Hello everyone I have mostly been lurking lately. Everyone was so excited to get tickets it was fun to see. Congrats to everyone who are going. My niece & nephew have been staying with me for the month of August. I had last week off so we took some day trips. Had not a good week with my niece. She was being very mean & disrespectful to me. I lost my temper with her and told her to shut up. I felt really guielty about it since I don't usually talk like that to her. Then he got her first period. Which explained part of her moodiness. I still feel bad. We finally got to see Star Trek & agree with ya all that was a fun movie. There is a new theatre by us that plays 2nd run movies. Every Tuesday is maintanee price all day. $7.00 includes admission, small popcorn & a small soda. Very happy for Clay & his new record deal Scarlett will have to give him a big hug from me when she goes to the Gala
  7. I voted for number one so I knew it would lose. I have voted every time & only once have I chosen the winner. I prefer geeky guys & love Clay in glasses. I love that look. The intelligent, cute guy who doesn't realize how cute they really are.
  8. Anna did your little dog get a new friend for your birthday?? Hope you have a wonderful day!
  9. Well, part of it was just asking the mods for suggestions -- pick 10 of your favorite pictures. But, I've also tried to balance it out with many of his different looks. For now, I think I've got pictures from 2003-2009 -- plus also blond, red, spikes, and long. Oh, and glasses/no glasses. And I'm sure there will also be some pictures that people will be like "why on EARTH did they pick that one?" But hey, it's our game. *g* this is as close to riding that rollercoaster I will ever be http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BFWL1YHS7rk I look forward to your game wonder if any of the pictures from 2003-2009 if Clay will be repeating any outfits
  10. ((merieee)) Kim A comeback is not a bad thing. Americans love a comeback story so Clay should roll in with it how many times did John Travolta have comebacks? So I was bored and was looking into flights & hotels to NC during the Gala time. Some pretty good deals on priceline even though I doubt I could go. Sis & I are going to the casino to David Cook's concert Saturday night. We will be sitting in the last row but at least we have a seat After we eat at the buffet we will be playing the penny slots. If for some miracle I win big I will be going to the gala! That's my plan. more intesting Ebay items love what this younger fan said about Clay's book here http://cgi.ebay.com/Clay-Aiken-book-2cds-t...id=p3286.c0.m14 and anyone who dreams about sleeping with Clay http://cgi.ebay.com/Clay-Aiken-Pillow-Case...id=p3286.c0.m14
  11. nice Clay mention here http://aimzones.aol.com/ Reality stars cash in (i like the picture nice eyes) (have to scroll down to where the picture of Elizabeth (not going to attempt that last name) from the view Clay Aiken Show: American Idol 2 As the runner-up in Season 2 of Idol, Aiken easily outsold winner Rubben Studdard with his debut album 'Measure of a Man'. He has since released four more albums and a greatest hits collection. He has also appeared on Broadway in 'Monty Python's Spamalot' and toured extensively. Also for top chef fans there are few of them in this article as well
  12. they were having a comparision thread on the AI site (like every year when someone sings Alone). Anyway, one post said Clay Aiken's was the best the next post wanted to know if it was available for download somewhere so I sent her a pm with the youtube clip of Clay singing Alone here is her answer Thank you!! I've never seen him in concert, so this is cool. :o) He looks so young and cute in that video. Fear I didn't bid on it. I promise
  13. good luck hope you win it I never knew about that Ugly Duckling that is very cute I think. Both of these are real. Thanks. There are so many Clay related things on ebay. I remember there was going going to be an auction here for BAF but I think I missed it. I was interested in what Playbiller was going to sell since she said she had interesting Clay Aiken stuff
  14. what about these Clay Aiken ebay items real or fake http://cgi.ebay.com/CLAY-AIKEN-Grace-of-Go...id=p3286.c0.m14 http://cgi.ebay.com/CLAY-AIKEN-rare-promo-...id=p3286.c0.m14
  15. I have complimentary tickets and was told since they are complimentary I can't really ask for special seating. I didn't really ask for the handicap seating. All I said was my mom was disabled and had a difficult time with stairs could they give us seats where we didn't have to climb a lot of stairs. My friend (yeah I have been complaining about it) said I should call back tomorrow & speak to a manager. My mom doesn't want me to make a big fuss. But, I know if we go and our seats are high up or in a section that require a lot of stairs she won't be able to do it and we will probably have to leave. The thing is is this is one concert my mom has wanted to go to ever since I can remember. so when I was offered free tickets I grabbed them immediately. She is so excited about it. I just hope it works out SORRY FOR THAT LONG RANT!!
  16. You can find addresses for fan mail here: OFC Messageboard: Help/Support: Members Helping Members: Sticky-Message Board FAQ: Post #12. Thanks so much I passed on the info to her!! I am a little upset right now. Mohegan Sun gave me 2 complimentary tickets to Barry Manillow which is the one person my mom has wanted to see in concert forever. I called them today because my mom is disabled and uses a cane but has a very hard time w/stairs and loses her balance easily. Anyway, all I asked them is if they could give us seats where we didn't climb a lot of stairs. I was told no that it is first come first serve basis so basically we won't know until we get there the day of the show. I know they are complimentary but my mom can't do the stairs as I said . If I was going by myself I would have been happy sitting anywhere (I have sat in the last row in many concerts). Maybe I am wrong about complaining since they are free. I just felt they could have been a little more helpful.
  17. (( Archie and family)) such an adorable little dog I need to ask for some help finding something (don't I always?) the lady who just discovered Clay through her son was asking about where to send him fanmail. She said she asked a MOD at the OFC and was told it was on that site somewhere. She can not find it. can someone point me in the right direction to help her out? Please & thanks Jesse (niece) wrote Clay a letter last year but sent it to the Shubert since she said that is where he was at the time. Hope everyone is having a great day
  18. Hello everyone I hope you are able to work out your gala breakfast. Seems odd for a hotel to cancel on you like that. You will probably find a better place. We have had a thunder storm every day this week except for the one day that I had to work a double (of course ). in sort of Clay related news (not really) Jon Huntsman, the Governor of Utah, has been nominated to be ambassador to China. This means that the Lt. Governor, Carmen Rasmusen's father-in-law Gary Herbert, will become the Governor of Utah. According to Deseret News, Carmen is to sing the national anthem at his inauguration.

    Top Chef

    I love cooking shows but can't cook to save my life (explain that one ) the one difference I find in Masters vs the regular Top Chef is I actually have wanted to try most if not all of the Masters dishes. I love watching the creative process & how they think up dishes.
  22. since i am going on vacation August 1 that will be my guess for all David Cassidy fans he will be co-starring on a new ABC show soon http://www.youtube.com/redirect?q=http%3A%...j3YWXfwtm_kpmU= I went to Jackson Browne in concert this week. I got really lost in his music and although I am not a big fan of covers in general I think I would like to hear Clay sing some of the songs Jackson wrote (since both of them seem to really be about the lyrics)
  23. Thanks so much The person asking about the demos was thinking about buying a CD someone had on EBay for $45.00! Guess I should read the front page her more often
  24. Bringing this question over from a Clay fan from AI site and figured you guys would know the answer know there were two demo cd's; Look What Love Has Done and Redefined. What's confusing is trying to figure out which songs were on which cd's. It looks like some of the songs from the first demo were also on the second demo?? I checked over at *bay and the most recent one I saw posted there had a bid of more than $70 and the auction was still going. If you or anyone else happens to know what the full set list was for each of the cd's, I'd really appreciate it if you'd post it here so I'll finally know if I've gotten them all converted or not. Thanks
  25. I kind of wish they could not follow me either. Sometimes I like to read there without posting and then people ask you why you are spying on them?? Yes, I did the invisible thing but you can see on the members online where people are. That sounds so good!!
