Screams greet WDC...and the little piano interlude...people know what's coming...
Clay has started the gospel intro to WDC.
It sounds like he is singing it in his head voice -- softer. Very nice.
There are intermittent screams from the crowd (mostly, "Wooh!"s and some appreciative whistles.
"Screeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeam"
There's a bit of vocal riffing and piano riffing going on tonight, I think.
And the tempo kicks up.

Cellstream report:
Brandilyne wants to kidnap the pants, take them to her S&M dungeon and make them do her bidding. Apparently, she has noticed Clay's thigh muscles through them.
Brandi reports that Clay is a laugh riot.
-----
nice pants
Sugar-Sugar -- mike in one havnd, hugging her from behind with other hand around her stomach .. . does same thing to Quiana -- very cute
Happy Together -- they're all over him, had them in head locks, leg logs . . pretty funny
Making a lot of funny faces
-----
Intermission... kay said he was walking on people's chairs and like bumping into people because people kept crowding the aisles so he was trying to go around them and he almost knocked people over. LMFAO.
apparently he was like directly behind her in the row behind her and she stood on her chair and took amazing video clack. so yay.
she said the back of the venues... the bleachers... are pretty empty. very scattered seats.
someone had binoculars in the front row and clay was like 'can you see my buggers?' lol.
-----
Brandi thinks Clay is the most beautiful person ever.
Clay is doing the "Sugar, Sugar" thing with Angela. Clay had his free arm snaking around Angela, hugging her, squeezing her, etc. Angela put her hand on his hand was trying to pull his fingers back, or squeezing his hand, or something. She was giggling. Clay did the same thing to Quiana, she reacted the same way.
As soon as Clay sits down, A&Q were ALL over him. Quiana buried her head in his lap?! He caressed her head. Angela had her hands all through his hair, etc. A&Q sort of competed with each other. Clay had his arms around both of them, holding them really tight, and then spread-eagled his legs on top of them. Eventually, Clay had A&Q in a headlock AND a leglock tonight.
Apparently, Clay is making the cutest faces tonight.
Two women in the front row showed up dressed like men, with beards -- took off their disguises after Clay selected the audience member, so I guess it was a ploy to get Clay to pick them.
-----
Clay did the spread eagle thing and headlock during Happy Together
-----
Hee -- lights were not coming on he says
"I KNOW we have lights -- I PAID for them"
then the spotlight moves off him and he's like ... "No, that one can stay HERE"
-----
There was some kind of problem with the lights -- at one point, the spotlight couldn't find him. Clay said, "I know we have lights, 'coss I paid for them!"
And then at one point, there was a light on him that was moved by mistake, and he said, "No, that one can stay over here!
Clay's Pips moves tonight were amazing, apparently.
There was a lady in the 4th row on the inner aisle, right side had binoculars. Clay told her to stand still -- apparently she was shaking? Clay said that her shirt says, "You're a Georgia Claymate." He read everything on her shirt, and said that he could read everything on her shirt from the stage without binoculars, so why did she need them?
"Do I have a booger? Can you see my brain? I might not have a booger now but there might be one starting for next week that you can see!"
Intermission over.
"Car Wash."
-----
Oh what a night!!!!!

Singer Clay Aiken selling L.A. home, moving back to Raleigh
The Associated Press
RALEIGH, N.C. -- Crooner Clay Aiken is selling his Los Angeles-area home to return to his North Carolina hometown.
The Raleigh native declined to tell The News & Observer of Raleigh exactly where he's building his new home.
"Whether this ride lasts for one year or 10 years, I want to have a home base," said Aiken, 26.
The pop star who soared to fame as a runner-up on the TV series "American Idol" in 2003 has rarely been at the Mediterranean-style, six-bedroom home he bought new last fall for $2.3 million, The Los Angeles Times reported.
The 7,800-square-foot home was new when the singer bought it and rests on more than an acre in a private, rural area of the San Fernando Valley that is zoned to allow horses, the Times said. The house has 6 1/2 bathrooms, a pool, a spa, a gazebo and a sports court.
Aiken listed the house in March for $2.5 million and expects to close escrow next month, the Times reported.
Aiken's mother, Faye Parker, decorated his California home with North Carolina furniture. The work won't go to waste despite the move, he said.
"All the stuff, curtains, fabrics and whatever else is coming, too," Aiken said.

I should have Merrillville's Stump the Band video up in about 15 minutes. I really don't think Clay will ever sing Touch. I think it was a fight and a battle that he lost during MoaM....maybe not over just a song but a direction. Or maybe he just hates it. I know it's my least favorite song on Measure of a Man. If he ever sings it I'll be shocked. For now, I hope the signs stop and people just ask for something else. I don't think he's giving in on this one. But it sure is fun to watch it play out. I think if everybody in the house raised a sign for Touch, he'd say it wasn't all in red ink or something. Anyway the whole clip is hysterical to me. I'll post the link when it's up.
I put the video up on this page.

Great cheers for Quiana as she finishes IWALY.
Clay out to talk up the "amazing vocalists" with whom he shares the stage. Introducing Angela now, mentions her website. Now Jacob, mentioning the website that will sell his album. I think he said something about these 3 vocalists being extremely important to him.
Now introducing the band. Andy, now Clarence (there was some funny banter before he intro-d Clarence -- couldn't make it out), now Daniel (introducing his mother) -- local guy!, now Maureen (more banter with her -- asking her if she's enjoying the show, whether she's nervous, etc. -- the crowd is laughing), now Felix (introducing a bunch of Felix's family/friends; Felix had the crowd cracking up over something) -- another local guy!, and finally, S'von (more banter -- someone is laughing really loudly -- there are intermittent crowd screams).
Now introducing the crew backstage.
Stump the Band - Hold Me Thrill Me Kiss Me
And Brown Eyed Girl

It just cracks me up when Clay does LA VIDA LOCA in that white collar worker shirt!
Girls keep screaming "I love you Clay" during ICMYLM --Someone needs to take a taser gun to them!

Can't Touch This
Clay talking about the 90's clothes
I THINK HE'S TELLING JACOB NOT TO QUIT DANCING
Asking the audience "Is there anything else you would like to see them do?"

End of the Road
I really like the guitar work (Andy Abad's, I assume) on "Black Velvet."
EOTR now -- big screams greet Clay's part of the song -- I love how he sounds on this! Big cheers as it ends.
"Iris" now. Intermittent screams/cheers -- sounds like some rawness in the upper register tonight.
Iris - Clay sounds really good on this song
LLVL
I really like Iris now that Clay is singing it with a rougher growly sound...
LLVL -- vocals sound excellent, and the crowd is loving it! HUGE screams as the song ends. Appreciative whistles, too.
S'von on piano -- the crowd actually seems pretty respectful right now, just the occasional screamer.
eeeeek.. Alot of I Love You Clays when he is singing...
Ugh...major screamers
Screamers quiet now.
Clay sounds amazing...I will give up this fiiiighhhtt.
Second verse of ICMYLM...Clay really sounding lovely.
The screaming has subsided almost entirely for the second verse and chorus. Clay sang with a mix of belting and soft, dialed-back power.
Really big cheers as Clay steps off.
IWALY.
Band Intros
-
here we go report of a lot more men in this venue tonight
"Car Wash" -- MrsLoki said something about the glasses that one of the audience dancers is wearing.
"December 1963" -- Clay sounding great, exhorting the crowd to applaud the audience dancers.
"September" starts, to cheers and screams.
huge screams
Nights on Broadway
Too Much Heaven started to some cheers -- and now there are intermittent screams. I really have no clue why.
Mandy
Mandy... Sounds beautiful.. Lots of screams in the beginning and some whistling... Now its quiet
Feisty crowd tonight -- there were screams and appreciative whistles as "Mandy"'s intro began, and then huge cheers as Clay started singing it.
Mandy now, maybe this will give us an indication of whether it will be quiet for ICMYLM. Greeted with screams...quieter now...
I love the way Clay now sings the bridge of Mandy...it adds some drama and urgency to the song...
"Yesterday's a dream..."
Asking about what happened in the 70's... Of NATIONAL worth (he emphasized the national part)
"Apollo 14? Is that right?"
I can't understand what he is saying.. Lots of laughter
he talks so fast i can't make out a word he is saying. something about high school
Preemptively congratulating everyone for their personal 70s milestones. Wants 70s events of national importance.
Clay said something about not being good with the numbers! (ed. note: this is how a heart breaks. *g*). That was in reference to the number of the Apollo mission in the 70s.
I think he said about how him being born was the best thing to happen in the 70's...

Halftime report ..from Clayversity
A bunch of people leaning on the stage on the sides... Talking alot during LMT. And Clay goes "I can hear everything your saying"Pick a guy: Clay made the guy walk to the center. He was with his girlfriend. He went up on stage and he said that he dragged his girlfriend to the concert. He was the fan in the family. Clay was going to use the girl to dance. The backup dancers the guy and the girl and Clay did the grape vine. Going to use both of them to dance
During ANMHE had the entire audience sing. At the end Clay said "You can do the entire second half by yourself"
Almost slip off the piano onto S’von lap
Could not get his shoes off under the piano
Tripped over something else
He said he was going to end up on the floor by the end of the night.
Solitaire was amazing. Alot of lower notes in the beginning. Accoustics are great.
Per Mrs.Loki – “Interesting Folds”
During Sugar Sugar was squeezing the girls when he was behind them. He was singing to each of the girls and they were fighting over him. Angela took his tie and wrapped it around his wrist.
Angie grabbed his tie and wrapped it around her fist during HT
During Only You. He paused waiting for the audience reaction. And the audience laughed and he sang on.
mentioned something new if they were good, so possible new song
During SHTogether Angela was pulling on his tie pulling him towards her
Aud. standing during most everything except UM
During the PIP section the guy andrew said he had to drag the girl(marcella, cella not sure) here so he is the fan, both are going up on stage
SOLD OUT BIG BILLBOARD ON HIGHWAY ONLY SHOW SHOWING SOLD OUT
SAID HE LOOKS GOOD AND SOUNDS GOOD
There were hand moves up and down the mic during "My Girl." MrsLoki rather liked all that.
Clay alluded in the beginning that if the audience was good he would do something new.
-
Seems like it was the man who was the fan of Clay and the girlfriend that was dragged to the concert...cracked Clay up.
He slid on the piano... almost into Savon's lap.
-
CLAY TALKING NOW OH ITS PIP SEARCHING TIME I THINK..........JUST SAID SOMETHING THAT ELICITED HUGE LAUGHS AND SCREAMS
I heard something about Bath and Body Works and Angela and Quiana.... no surprise there!
I think he's asking how many concerts people have been to.
Now into the enthusiastic ladies, dragging the men to the show schtick.
He just said (I think) dabbigedeerit.. itnsont it ok now!"
The boy has got to learn to slow down and enunciate.
Don't know what's going on ..seems like he changed things up...but can't make out the banter.
Ain't No Mountain High Enough....
-
DOWNTOWN
I can't make out Clay too much but the crowd seems extremely loud.
sugar sugar
and the clayboard goes quiet......
anyway, he's singing great and the crowd is very responsive. The cellstream is not very good so can't hear much of what he's saying. The crowd is laughing their asses off though.
Solitaire sounded amazing. I heard the playfulness in his voice during the early medleys..we'll see if that translate into a fun show when we get clack.
Amazingly, the girls come in pretty good...
RESCUE ME..........NO I DON'T WANT TO BE RESCUED..........I JUST WANT TO SEE CLAY IF THIS CROWD GETS ANY LOUDER I HAVE NEVER HEARD ANYTHING LIKE THIS JACOB NOW HEARD IT THROUGH THE GRAPEVINE...........

Saying something that made people laugh.
Introducing Andy Abad, lengthy banter with Clarence -- I can't for the life of me make out what Clay said. Clay introduced Daniel, now chatting with Maureen. Turning to Felix -- Clay said something that made people cheer/scream. Ah, no -- Clay is playing all of the instruments. Hee!! Now introducing S'von.

Sounds as if the audience is singing along.

"1000 Days"
Clay's voice sounding really powerful on this. Ah, I love the bridge of this song, and the riffing on the last chorus of the song.
Huge response -- cheers, whistles, screams, everything, as the sound ends.
BFM
Hang on Canada!!!! It's got to be tomorrow night for sure!!! They heard him rehearsing again today.....You're a shoe in!!!!

Wow, you can really hear the crowd singing along to BFM...
-----
There is some effect on Clay's mic on the verses of BFM, I think -- emphasizes the enunciation of every word on the verses -- the way we heard the song on GMA. The effect is taken off for the chorus, when Clay is wailing.
Clay singing the verses perfectly tonight, to my ears, anyway.
Tonight sounds like an especially powerful rendition of BFM.
The crowd sounds really into it, as well.

Invisible....
If I was Invisible...If I could just watch you in your room...
He musta tugged...wild screams...
Crowd singing to him...I love this....
-----
"Invisible" rocked.
Crowd is out-of-control screaming, WOOH-ing, whistling, cheering, clapping -- just really, really, really loud. Did I mention loud.

Spike reported the floor was full but bleachers were pretty empty. The dancer was really wild during Car Wash.

Brandi is now singing "We Built This City" to us.
The Scene Pavillion is right on the lake. A transparent black netting hung over the back of the stage, so you could see the whole skyline on this very clear night -- the buildings were all lit up, so the scene was really pretty. The lighting was gorgeous tonight.
Quotes from Brandi:
"He is one pretty, pretty, PRETTY man."
"That man must have the tightest ass this side of the Mississippi." Brandi would sell her dog to be behind Clay during LLVL. Something about his hip-shaking during that song.
