He answered mine too!! I did not think he really would answer mine. I asked about Ruben & dancing with the stars.

But I really don't ever feeling they are/have been competing I just worded my question that was sort of joking around. He took me all seriously. I even stuck my tongue out at the end.

can you tell me how to be invisible at the OFC ? I always wondered how to do that. Would have thought Clay would have known how to do that. The person who posted the question felt like she had to apologize

That was a good question about Ruben and I loved Clay's answer.

I just checked on the invisible thing. If you click on the button that says "Settings" at the top of the message board, one of the first options you have is to "Use Invisible Mode".

oh it's that easy. LOL that must be why I didn't know how to do it. Thank you

I read that article about Ruben talking about dancing with stars went to bed and dreamed I asked that question. Got up and posted it went to bed & thought it would never be answered anyway.

Tonight I am going to try and dream about winning the lotto.

Is Clay the first new daddy from AI?

you know something I thought cool (to me anyway) this past year contestants from season two Clay, Carmen & Josh all had babies ( Clay & Carmen's firsts & Josh Gracin's 4th) and Ruben got married.

There have been a lot of contestants that are parents on AI. Josh Gracin from Clay's season was married with a baby daughter at the time he competed. I'm thinking he and his wife have had at least one, if not more children since then.

Just as long as Simon doesn't reproduce. That would be ghastly, dreadful, self-indulgent, cabaret... :kotz0:

well Simon & the baby could share t-shirts

Clay's back for more in the Questions thread - starting with post #2553.

ETA: Clay just answered a question from wandacleo - Post 2581. EEEEE!

I thought her question was good I liked when she said I am not a vampire LOL

He answered mine too!! I did not think he really would answer mine. I asked about Ruben & dancing with the stars.

how lucky that you got to see Ruben, Tryence and Frenchie. I've read great reviews for the show. Unfortunately it is coming no where near me.

Ruben's video for his first single has been released and his cd should be out. His concert dates were put up recently one in Raleigh NC. venue TBA later (?)

I loved all the pictures of Clay. That boy sure has long legs!

Also thanks for the Parker picture

TBAF Donation page Remember....FCA MAD

what does this mean ^^^^^^^^^^^^^

thanks Liney sorry I made the donation before I knew that. We donate once a month there anyway -- a dollar a week from my paycheck and Jesse donates a part of her allowance. Jesse receives $5.00 a week & is to give at least $1.00 of it to charity. She takes turns with a pet shelter & BAF.

Thanks Anna I love your avatar. I want to change mine but can't choosse a picture.

I missed someone won the lotto? Cool!! and Congrats!

I submitted 3 questions Jesse asked me to ask. I followed the rules then I don't know what happened. I went to work and checked back where I posted last and in big letters is a MOD saying the rules right after my post. So my questions although they probably would not have been answered anyway are lost after that. I hate when my post is right before the MODS thing (usually post are deleted) but it makes it look like it was me who wasn't following the rules.

One of the questions he did answer was very similar to Jesse's so maybe that will make her happy. I told her I would match her donation. She chose to donate $5.00.

Thanks for sharing that, so very heartening to know there are 10 year olds who are still having a childhood and childhood values while having an awareness about the less fortunate and how they can make a difference. You must be very proud of her.

Yes very proud of her. She also made me cry when she said you know I really don't need anything!

I took her to build a bear so she could make a stuffed animal of her own to make for the Children's hospital.

Okay, so he was faking the piano playing. Since I can't play either I guess I can live with it.

Last night was such a fun night but I missed the blog until this morning. My favorite song of the JBT. That was so generous especially to share with those not even members of his fanclub. I hope everyone gives just a little something to the BAF. OFC member or not.

I can see why he has so many celebrity friends, he is such a breath of fresh air. No expected answers, just what he really believes. Couchie, ALAWH is also my favorite from OMWH. I just hope that some critical fans realize that slow songs were his choice and he will never be a rock star. Clay knows where he belongs and the version of Just You, as selected by he and Jaymes proves it. I'm another fan of Jaymes and think she and Clay make an amazing musical duo.

I never thought he was going to be a rock star but I do lots of times miss uptempo Clay songs. I think he is better with those songs than he realizes. I will just have to visit all the Clack I downloaded recently for that - and all of the stuff I kept was from MOAN. I really hate that missed seeing those concerts live. The energy in the audience & on the stage was unbelievable.

True cindilu...but as someone who is going to be away for the entire day (HAPPY 88TH BIRTHDAY MOM!), I was hoping to print all out and take them with me to read. Besides, my brain gets confuzzled if I use the "back" button too much. Personal choice, though.

And I just noticed...no comments allowed on the latest blog.

Happy Birthday to you momma

If you don't want to scroll through the (now) 53 pages of questions just to get to the ones he's answered, butterflyshine has set up an archived thread here (you must be a member of the OFC and logged in to see):

Ask Clay a Question -- Answers thread

Whoops, just noticed that's page two of the thread...you'll have to backtrack for page one...

And I'm in love...he most wants to slap upside the head Ann Coulter. Good for him! Can't stand that witch.

thanks for the link

today was the one day I didn't go there.

The youngest that I nanny for had her 10th Birthday Party tonight. She is so happy to be in double digits

she asked her friends to bring new stuffed animals for the children's hospital. It was so sweet! The girls all bought animals they picked out and some even made cards to go with the stuffed animals. Her friends also made donations in her name to the hospital. They donated $75.00!

thanks Jazzgirl I definately check it out

don't know if this was posted already

so if so please scroll

little more info on the season finale of 30 Rock

http://blog.zap2it.com/frominsidethebox/20...son-finale.html

[Alan] Alda, the Emmy-winning star of "M*A*S*H" and the final season of "The West Wing," will appear in the season's final two episodes. In the finale, he'll be joined by music stars Elvis Costello, Sheryl Crow, Mary J. Blige, Clay Aiken and Adam Levine of Maroon 5. Sherri Shepherd will also reprise her occasional role as Tracy's (Tracy Morgan) wife.

is that Cosmo site to meet a guy

for single straight women to met straight guys

because I already have enough gay best friends. I do wonder if there are any straight men left. (sorry if that is too much personal info about me)

On topic

Clay looked very handsome in those pictures.

I liked his speech. Who was that lady with him? I loved her dress.

guess no one wants to see Clay in Phantom of the Opera.

but he looks so cute yet devilish

the boy next door that your mom trust

but you know better

BLOG

he just made it

((Scarlett))

happy you are feeling better

The new technology does take some getting used to. People do have the capability of snapping your picture and having it online somewhere in real time.

all that yet Canadians can't watch some Clay videos

WEIRD

hope everyone is having a good day

these little smiley face things were much cuter i swear especially the 1st one. but apparently i still don't know what i am doing.

I'm fairly certain Clay won't be touring this summer. I never thought he would. Maybe Christmas.

Didn't we have a pool?

I really didn't think he would tour either but some unknown reason I kept holding out hope that I was wrong!

I didn't know anything about a pool. I remember saying If he tours & someone told me no if's

anyway I wonder what friends Quinna will be touring with.

We did a pool here on the board. Clay's opening night of his next tour. I'm sure it's around here somewhere.

Quiana has a local group she performs with. More of a Jazz set-up IIRC.

oh I remember that now. Sorry. Guess I didn't win any money just like my trips to the casino. To bad she isn't coming anywhere close to me. I have always loved her voice but I should really learn to spell her name. I always have to look it up then most of the time I get it wrong anyway.

here's her schedule

ETA: Clay has a career threatening physical problem? Exactly how long have I been asleep?

I would think TMJ could hurt his career as a singer if not corrected. I'm not a good patient and worry about the outcome of any medical procedures. His face looked so painful in some of the Facebook pictures. In one it even looks like he has a black eye. I didn't save it so i can't post it but it was of reed doing the bunny thing and Clay giving him the or someone the finger.

It's justme, I'm a worry wart sometimes . I don't worry about Clay's career. But i do worry about medical procedures,

I had a friend over yesterday doing her taxes and gave her a playlist. She went to see Clay in concert a few times, at my urging, but doesn't follow him. When I gave TVBOAC to her she asked how come you always hear about Clay but never hear about any other AI people. So his name is always out there.

TMJ can be a serious thing and messing with a singers jaw is nothing to sneeze at. What is Clay giving someone the finger his new pose?

this post is from someone at the idol board who is myspace friend to Quinna

Don't know if anyone else has checked it out or not but according to Quianna's space page, she and 'Friends' are going to be doing concerts through July.................suppose that means Clay won't be touring this summer??

Greetings from Madison, Wisconsin! My husband and I are away for the weekend, just to get away from it all. It feels pretty nice.

Love that new picture of the group. He looks happy, the girls look happy...I'm happy.

I work with someone who pronounces is "Gar-sha." I don't understand it either.

clayzy, I saw your facebook thing too!

jmh, I agree with you on the "vocal" people. It can be hard to turn them off, but ignoring seems to work.

Have a good day everyone!

Some are hard to ignore but there are more we can add and persuade, those undecided and without any favorite.

By the way, does anyone here think Clay sound like the late John Denver when speaking (not singing)? This heartbroken lady over Scott MacIntyre's elimination was finding comfort in listening to old songs when she chanced upon an interview of the country singer. She said he reminded her of Clay Aiken.

that was one sad elimination

My mom use to say Clay reminded her of a mix of John Denver and Gomer Pyle.( I don't get the last one either). This was in his early interviews with the cute dorky glasses Clay.

Bonus footage of Top Model

I wonder if Clay wants to give them all a hamburger?

ETA: Allison reminds me of Carmen. Bla-a-a-a-ah.

I saw Carmen in concert 2 years ago by accident.

Taylor Swift was suppose to have a free show at the casino here. When I got there there was a big sign that Taylor Swift canceled but please enjoy Carmen from season 2 AI. She was going to sign her cds after the concert but she has hit in the face with the guiter during her last song. She had to leave for the emergency room to get stitches. She improved about 110% since idol. Her goat thing was gone.

Clay was cute when he laughed at the man with the weird huge bow tie (he gives fashion advice????).

Don't forget he'll be back at the end as a judge!!

good thing I read that I almost changed the station

From CH:

Queerty.com

What Do Famous People Have to Say on Gay Marriage?

QUEERTY EXCLUSIVE– What a week it's been! With Iowa and Vermont rolling the gay marriage train out of the station, we asked some of our favorite celebs what their opinions are on gay marriage. Sure, sure, they're not exactly experts, but as public personalities, Hollywood's finest set a great example, not just for the industry, but for the country.

<snip>

“One of the most necessary part of gays and lesbians being accepted is making sure that in the media they’re portrayed in a necessary light… [The GLAAD awards] show makes sure that that happens, that they’re portrayed positively as opposed to stereotypically.” –- Clay Aiken, American Idol star

very true Clay

great quote

Just heard on the news here that a woman in Connecticut was so desperate to have a conversation with her husband that she hand-cuffed herself to him.

Here's a poll to vote for Clay for the singer that sounds the best. Clay sounds sooo sexy. You have five choices. See if you can pick him out.

http://mjsbigidolblog.com/

I love the way they don't give names and people have to vote according to the voice sample.

Pretty easy to see which one is the best, and the result reflects that too....

that was pretty cool. I recognized Clay, Allison and Kim Locke. (Kim's was my favorite version sung on the show). The other two I have no idea.

I live in CT but did not see that news story of course the local news here is all about the UCONN women's basketball team.

I so would have won that acting top model challenge

"Le or la" I could care less. Since I did not take one ounce of French in school. All I know, that he is adorable, and I watched that clip more times than I care to admit. Can not wait for tomorrow.

Why is something happening tomorrow?

Tomorrow is Clay's guest appearance on ANTM.

Thanks I was just kidding. It will be the one & only episode of that show I watch.

Anna I think I saw your puppy on a commercial for Pet Smart today.

hey people I was just trying to be funny there, which is why I said probably the only French Clay knows is a la mode as in "I want my apple pie a la mode".

I got it
