georgiaclay Posted September 8, 2006 Report Share Posted September 8, 2006 Oh dear heaven, Oh Lord, Sweet Jesus, where is Buddha when you need him. After first seeing the picture from OFC (sweater picture) my reaction was oh dear Heaven. Then seeing the following it went from Oh Lord to where the hell is the Haldol/Demerol/Tranxene/Thorazine/any xene that I will need after watching the Insider tomorrow. Just the promo had me thudding all over the freakin place. I LURVE me some HAIR, and he speaks too. G :trink3: :704: :schwirr: I will need booze, lotsa, lotsa booze tomorrow night.

bottlecap Posted September 8, 2006 Report Share Posted September 8, 2006 EEEEEEEE!!!!!!!! for seeing Clay on my very own TV and hearing THE HAIR tell me "I've never done this for anyone before!" Yeah, you heartbreaker. I bet you say that to all the girls....... Is it a problem if I just run around in a circle and squeal for a bit? georgiaclay, do those padded rooms of yours have good TV reception and fast internet connections? :00000442: ======================= Clay, de-vested (divested?), via of Penny at the Clackhouse, through the magic of photoshop.

georgiaclay Posted September 8, 2006 Report Share Posted September 8, 2006 (edited) Ansa, Yes, I made sure they all had plasma TV's and wireless internet in every room. So all you need will be your pj's and of course the little white coats that will be offered on check in. They may have to call in extra security after tomorrow's Insider. I think I am in the process of EEEEEEEEEEEEEEing all over the place. Love ya'll all. g Edited September 8, 2006 by georgiaclay Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
muskifest Posted September 8, 2006 Report Share Posted September 8, 2006 So all you need will be your pj's pj's, my ass. I'm gonna watch Clay on my teevee...naked! Sorry, but that picture ain't my cuppa. He looks too fey...(not FAYE, you understand)...too emo...too greasy and this particular eyef*ck doesn't do it for me...too studied and posed. This just ain't for me. Now that Best Buy fan pack pic of Mr. Aiken in the blue shirt? Holy crap. THAT is my kinda hunka man. I just had to pay the vet over $600 for my dog to get some long overdue attention---general check up, had seven teeth extracted (with accompanying anesthesia, post-operative care, etc), nails clipped, extensive blood tests, wound treatment (broken off nail really far back), antibiotics, benign skin tag removed from chest, etc. holyshit.

muskifest Posted September 8, 2006 Report Share Posted September 8, 2006 Thanks for the hug, couchie...sure need it. Course, a brew would do me good, too. I ordered 3 CDs from Amazon---to get free shipping, dontchaknow... And one from Sony (or was it two?)---to get cute little magnet, dontchaknow... Told the release party gang I'd buy two then---to support the store that's hosting the party, dontchaknow.. crap...that's seven. Clay told me to buy eight. Ok. I'll get one at Best Buy to get that hawt blue-shirt picture on the Fan Pack thingy... Oh...hell. I'll get another one at WalMart to get the poster if they're using a poster to lure me there at mylocal WalMart. That's nine. Clay owes me one. A big one, too. A really big one, unless my eyes deceive me. what. Don't look at me like that. If I can drop $600 on our dog in two days, I sure WILL find the $ to buy a few CDs, dontchaknow...

bottlecap Posted September 8, 2006 Report Share Posted September 8, 2006 Oh...hell. I'll get another one at WalMart to get the poster if they're using a poster to lure me there at mylocal WalMart. Wha?! I missed that there would be a poster dealie at WalMart? Somebody 'splain that to me. Add to the TO DO List: 1. Call bank about raising the limit on my credit card. Clack calls. 2. Explain to boss that I am only coming into the office in September for the ultra hugh-speed internet access, and that I won't actually be doing any work. 3. Map out the most efficient route to get to KMart, WalMart, and Best Buy right after watching GMA on the 19th. 4. Practice squinting at the Kimmel audience and mumbling to self: "Is that Couchie?" "OMG, is that muskifest getting carted out by Uncle Frank?" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ldyjocelyn Posted September 8, 2006 Report Share Posted September 8, 2006 bottlecap, about the WalMart posters -- from the CH: from giftoflove4clay at the CB: link Quote: A Very funny Best Buy story, a giggle for you, but cool -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- I called the Best Buy at the Galleria near me and asked the Guy in music how many CD's they are getting in and fan packages. When he said 11, I said you HAVE GOT TO BE KIDDING ME, that's all? He laughed and said there was a note added under that that the vendor sent a note they are rushing in 150 more fan packages and they had coming in 75 CD's but also an added note that was put in the computer TODAY, emergency shipment of 150 more CD's coming in on 20th. LOL He wouldn't let me reserve, he said no reserves on Clay's fan packs to be there when they open at 10:00 AM and I would be sure to get one but he said his boss said, no reserves on the Clay Aiken CD's as some were already sold (meaning promised for a small Clay fan gathering and they are meeting the manager at midnight to get their copies, he is opening the store just for them to come in and get them, but there is an order that the fan packs can't be sold until they open on the 19th at 10:00 UNLESS their emergency shipment comes in before the 20th. I cracked up. He said all their TV's showed on CNN Clay's Presidential appointment and everyone at the store was talking about it and his manager said yeah, I'm going to see him at West Point, LOL LOL. I said see you there! He said WHAT is going on with Clay Aiken, Best Buy is rushing around like crazy stocking up, LOL LOL LOL I replied, they SHOULD, they have a nice ad of their LOGO on the main page as of today of their store on Clay's fanclub website main page and how many members would see it today. When I told him how many hits Clay's blog gets he was shocked. I also told him that Tower Records and Virgin Megastores got most of the parties but I believe many Best Buys are getting them too. And I said Best Buy KNOWS they will get the business now because they will be the only ones carrying the fan club pack. He said and I quote "Justin T (you know who) won't know what hit him the week Clay's CD comes out, LOL I just love this experience I just had on the phone, I am grinning ear to ear. The buzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz is buzzzzzzzzing EVERYONE is talking about Clay! I "think" shock and awe is beginning here? LOL I then called Wallmart Megastore and they are getting in, get this 250 of Clay's CD week one and another shipment week 2. And they know Best Buy got the "gig" for the fanclub packs, so what they are doing is getting in a ton of extra posters as promotional items when you buy your CD at this particular Walmart, so I guess I stop there too, it is right next to Best Buy, my poor poor pocketbook. I will be poor now. So, that makes one CD ordered from Amazon; one from Sony to get the magnet; two from the WalMart for the CD Release party (maybe they'll have the posters?!?!?!); possibly one from KMart to get the possible digital download; and one from Best Buy to pick up the fanclub pack. Wonder when Target and Circuit City will get their acts in gear? bottle, your TO DO list is right on! I'm grateful I'm off on Sept. 19, albeit sleep deprived (the CD party for me is an hour and a half away from home). I've also got a doctor's appointment that day. Should be interesting. muski, I can sorta see the fey in that picture...but I think that's why I like it so much. In a way, it's him thumbing his nose at the critics for his looks. I think he looks lethal in it. But then I'm easy (not cheap) regarding Clay Aiken, and like almost every single look he's ever had. He makes me swoon.

bottlecap Posted September 8, 2006 Report Share Posted September 8, 2006 The Insider Online: "I can't live, if living is without you," sings CLAY AIKEN on the first single off his highly-anticipated album A Thousand Different Ways. For millions of Clay-mates, the sentiment is most definitely mutual -- and one that will be safely satisfied when the new disc hits stores on September 19. Featuring 10 cover songs from the "Idol" runner-up, plus four new tunes, Clay's latest collection has one driving theme behind it. L'amour! Some of the hit singles the cute crooner has re-recorded are BRYAN ADAMS' "Everything I Do (I Do It For You)," ELTON JOHN's "Sorry Seems to Be the Hardest Word," CELINE DION's "Because You Loved Me," BAD ENGLISH's "When I See You Smile" and the aforementioned "Without You," made famous by HARRY NILSSON, which Clay performed exclusively for us during a recent visit to the "Insider" studio. "We're excited about it," Clays tells our LARA SPENCER about A Thousand Different Ways. "It's been a year in the making and it's something kind of different. It's songs that I really love, songs that I've loved for years and years, and most people love, so it should be really good." And while Clay says he would like to take credit for the idea of laying down these popular tracks, he admits that it was the brainchild of legendary music producer CLIVE DAVIS, the president of Clay's label, RCA Records. "He wanted to do songs that everybody knew, that people recognized and things that, hopefully, I can do well," says Clay. As for the funky new hairdo that he first showed off during last seaon's "American Idol" finale, "We just wanted to change things up a bit," says Clay. "It's been three years since we had a studio album and the spiky thing is hard to do with the flat iron, so we decided to try something a little bit different." EEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!! for THE HAIR singing about how it can't live without mmeeeeee tonight! :laola0: :laola0: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KAndre Posted September 8, 2006 Report Share Posted September 8, 2006 Tsk, tsk, bottle...it was CLEARLY indicated that it is FUNKY hair, and therefore cannot live without MOI! See, I'm reasonable unlike all you people - I'm just buying 2 at the Houston party on the 19th, one at Kmart, one at Walmart, one at Best Buy, and then one on the 26th for Kimmel. And one of the Singapore ones. And any other extra cute ones. And an extra Kimmel one in case of natural diaster. See? Reasonable. And georgiaclay, make sure my room has the HD plasma with the 7.1 surrounding sound. tosses a beer at muski and makes an LIT for herself...

bottlecap Posted September 8, 2006 Report Share Posted September 8, 2006 Not to suggest I disagree with the World Dominatrix or whatnot, but since I live farther east and so get The Insider at an earlier hour, I will maintain that, because Clay and THE HAIR will be singing to me first, it is in fact ME that he can't live without. Since I am feeling benevolent, I will be willing to let Clay sing to you (but about me, remember) a little later in the evening. What, no itunes on your purchase list? Tsk, tsk, tsk.......

bottlecap Posted September 8, 2006 Report Share Posted September 8, 2006 Clay's myspace page has a terrific write-up that includes some of his commentary on ATDW, and also a summary of of charity work. Just be prepared to squint a bit at the small type and the perplexing lack of apostrophes and quotation marks. A couple of paragraphs for the much-longer write-up. I added the quotation marks, because it was bugging me. The new songs also give Aiken the opportunity to show off his emotional growth, with each track highlighting a different facet of his personality. Everything I Have (written by Jeremy Bose) brings to mind the poignancy of an Art Garfunkel performance. The songs subtle piano and string arrangement allows Aiken's naked voice to express the delicious ache of love. "Every woman I have played that for absolutely loves it", says the singer. "I have people telling me they want to play it at their wedding". A Thousand Days (written by Christian Leuzzi, Aldo Nova & Emanual Olsson) and These Open Arms (written by Jon Bon Jovi & Desmond Childs) are both classic Aiken, with big dramatic vocals and rousing, take-no-prisoners choruses. The fourth new track Lonely No More has a lighter, more playful pop sensibilityand the song also represents Aikens first songwriting credit (along with writers Andreas Carlson, Samuel Waermo, and Mimmi Waermo.) Perhaps the most astonishing artistic departure for Aiken was the decision to cover the Mr. Mister hit Broken Wings as an ethereal, New Age-like track. With an otherworldly spoken word vocal by poet Erin Taylor, the song is a spectacular tour-de-force. "We didnt know if it would work. We took a chance, and I'm so happy with how it came out." I wonder if Fred Bronson of Billboard wrote this. I also wonder why this kind of publicity is only now getting out there, a week and a half before the album is released.

KAndre Posted September 8, 2006 Report Share Posted September 8, 2006 deep breath.... EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee! RCA Pics! OK, I still see nothing wrong with releasing good stuff a whole week and a half before the album drop...you know old people like moi can't remember crap that long! heh. And honestly, if that MySpace thing was written for anyone else but Clay, my eyes would be rolling so far back in my head you would be able to see the optic nerve - but it's Clay and therefore somewhat understated. I am seriously getting frickin' IMPATIENT for the CD - if they had started this a month ago, I would be ready to KILL somebody at this point...and I have a list.

bottlecap Posted September 9, 2006 Report Share Posted September 9, 2006 (edited) Just watched the reappearance of Classic Clay on The Insider. I think he hit all the highlights: He sang his heart out, he looked hot but pretended he didn't, he made faces, he giggled, he bit his lip, he bobbed his head and said "Thank You", he signed autographs, he got his hair fussed with (I saw sideburns! EEEE!), and he hugged the blonde anchor chick. [somewhere in New York, Diane Sawyer is watching this and screaming "I saw him first, so step off biaytch!!! I will pull that peroxided hair right out of your nasty little scalp if you don't get your paws offa my man!" Mike Nichols is just rolling his eyes, since he's heard it all before. He knows Diane will be almost impossible to live with until Clay is back on GMA again.] ========================= ETA: Here is a link to download The Insider appearance. There are also links to a couple of very brief promo's of the piece. Edited September 9, 2006 by bottlecap Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
georgiaclay Posted September 9, 2006 Report Share Posted September 9, 2006 Where is everybody at. Has everyone crawled into their holes to watch the video again and again and again. I watched it twice since being home this evening. Got home at 10 p.m. It was very interesting indeed. Love the HAIR and his voice is still as magnificant. I am also SO HAPPY that I heard a giggle, lip bite and a THANK you. I don't think he has changed at all, just his appearance and THE FACT THAT HE KNOWS HE HAS THE WOMEN now. That BOY/MAN has so much going for him right now that I am afraid that the other shoe is going to drop. Just shut up G (see now I am talking to myself, sure sign that I need that padded room; just as long as it has a plasma TV and a remote control for the DVR). I am so happy for him as he looked very happy indeed, and again, I think as I said before earlier in this post, he has a lot of confidence about him now or he is a very very good actor. See ya'll tomorrow. May.be. G :party038: :04: :laola0: I bow to the master of the VOICE. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Beautiful face, great shoulders in a hawt blue shirt (dead, I tell you. I don't even know how I'm managing to type), and then there's the hair..... I'm afraid it would take a couple of bottles of wine to make me like it. It's very helmety and stiff and the bangs look plastered to his forehead. Eeeepppps! Cough. Wheeze.

georgiaclay Posted September 9, 2006 Report Share Posted September 9, 2006 Morning ladies, Still in hiding or do ya'll actually have a life?? LOL. I just got back from the Saturday run to the scrapbooking store (more stickers). I am a sucker for HAIR and stickers. Can the two be combined I wonder???? I will have to investigate. Back to the topic at hand. I really love the NuHair look, but the best that I think I have seen it was last night on the Insider. It had a reddish brown to it and it was not heavy with product. They need to keep the person who did his hair on staff, because it looked wonderful. So bouncy, just makes you want to run your hands through it, tuck it out of HAIRS eyes, run you fingers down the side of his cheek down his neck line. Oh HELL!!!! I'm dead. Just dead. It was so NICE And to think that I am a **cough, cough** 40ish year old woman. I want to ........ fill free to fill in the blanks. Take care everyone. I will now be six feet under with my toes pointed straight up in the hair. Check ya'll out later gators.

Ansamcw Posted September 9, 2006 Author Report Share Posted September 9, 2006 Yikes ...I have a house full of preteen girls!!! My daughter had a slumber party last night. It was her brithday and I was kept busy with party preparations. Theya re still her but are now full and quietly watching movies so I can take time to say this... EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE wow those are such gorgeous pix.... my favorite is fanpack clay, followed by looking down library boy, then all that Jazz Clay. It was nice seeing Clay again but I like longer bangs on him. It was also frustrating to hear the song cut up that way. But he is still gigly and dorky Clay...was there ever any doubt. BTW...if you guys are looking for a plce to host your pix you can put it up in gallery. I think there are more to die for pix coming up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
