Ansamcw Posted October 24, 2006 Author Report Share Posted October 24, 2006 Its possible HE has a bigger list and the orchestra chooses what they will do with him. ah...I will miss GN but that does need a lot of vocal support with back up singers.

bottlecap Posted October 24, 2006 Report Share Posted October 24, 2006 I'm also excited that the concerts will be in the central and eastern time zones, unlike the beginning of JNT05 which started here at like 1:00am or some other unlikely hour of the night. Sorry West Coast Peeps! I love ya, but cellcert times are all about ME!!! ldyjocelyn, the long black coat has been a Christmas tradition, so I'm hoping that shows up again. Although, there is the original black angel suit from last year that didn't end up getting much wear.... Hmmm, another thing to speculate about!!! And, yeah, my first reaction to the song list was that it seemed long for an hour's worth of singing unless Clay and the orchestra really speeds through the setlist without stopping.

muskifest Posted October 24, 2006 Report Share Posted October 24, 2006 (edited) Its possible HE has a bigger THere is no doubt at all in my mind about this, Ansa....

bottlecap Posted October 24, 2006 Report Share Posted October 24, 2006 (edited) Clay's sales finished out of the Top 50 this week, so we'll have to wait for Soundscan later in the week to see the actual numbers.

Claygasm Posted October 24, 2006 Report Share Posted October 24, 2006 My reaction to the Christmas set list is, Doesn't he know any other Christmas carols????? I mean, this is the JNT04 all over again, minus GN and OHN. Nothing new. Nothing different. There are more songs out there, Clay! Of course, he already knows the words (sometimes ) to these. And you're right - too many songs for half a concert. Either they just looked up one of his past set lists or this is the list from which the orchestras can choose. My worry is clack. Since these aren't Clay concerts, I guess he won't be setting the clack policy. These venues and orchestras may not understand our NEED for clack. What if there is no clack????? :o ETA: His sales figures should really set people off! I think I'll be skipping lurking at some boards for the next few days......

playbiller Posted October 24, 2006 Report Share Posted October 24, 2006 (edited) Nonononono! He added The Grown up Christmas list - that was Quiana's last year. I have decied to go to youtube to humt down montage makers. OK I just PMd about 20 people, including a nice anime, let's see what comes out of this.

Ansamcw Posted October 24, 2006 Author Report Share Posted October 24, 2006 Well he is still doing promo for MCWL...and I think that is the only way he can do this kind of concert...without too much need of preparation. November is full of promo for ATDW...I don't think he can really do anything fancy with this show with the time he has to prepare. Its either this or wait until February for the ATDW tour...and I would rather hear him again. Clack...may be scarce. I think we may have to get used to the type of restrictions we had in JNT 04...mainly because he is just a guest in these shows. Also...this is the set list for this show...I wonder if this will be the same for all of them. I cannot be down about this...I just can't wait to see him. I think OHN and GN may not be on cos they needed more back up vocals and he will be going solo on these shows. Aww...I wonder if he will have as much fun without his full tour family. I really can;t wait for the ATDW tour. I did hear he reached 11K...which is not really bad when you consider he was nowhere to be seen. Just cheer up...November will be better with the shows scheduled for him. I wonder when we will see Tyra. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JennaZ Posted October 25, 2006 Report Share Posted October 25, 2006 Great points, Ansamcw! Yes, I suspect there will be the usual rants on the boards in the next few days, but we do have a lot to look forward to. And November is just around the corner! Alas, no Christmas shows for me on the West Coast. However, I have full confidence in the ingenuity of our Clack gatherers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ldyjocelyn Posted October 25, 2006 Report Share Posted October 25, 2006 I have to admit that I saw the news about him not being in the top 50 this week, and I was sad. But then, I knew that he sold at least 11,000 this week (from earlier reports before the final updates). Suddenly, that made me feel a bit better. Why? Because 11,000 people saw the CD in the store and bought it. Without publicity. With stock available. Add to that Ansa's list of the publicity still to come (and I still hold on to hope that there will be a second push after the first of the year, in time for Valentine's Day), and I feel pretty darn good. Claygasm, I really have no problem with the Christmas concert set list being the JNT 2004 redux. I truly enjoyed that show. Plus there are going to be other changes -- the main one being the rest of the "family" not being there. I think this will be very enjoyable. As far as his singing songs he's done before...I almost always look at it this way. First of all, as Ansa pointed out, he's going to be busy in November doing new publicity for ATDW. But more than that...I think he simply enjoys these songs. They recharge his spiritual batteries, as it were. I personally believe that he simply LOVES doing Christmas shows -- as his way of sharing his faith as a Christian. JMO. I have no idea if I'm going to try and get clack at the two shows I'm attending or not. Since it is the first two, and (unless he blogs *g*) we don't know what the clack gathering barometer will be like...I may just go and enjoy. I do want others to be able to see this though. I don't know what I'll do. I will write wonderful recaps for all of you. And know that you west coasters will be in my heart as I watch, and drool, and sigh, and swoon, and simply enjoy.

playbiller Posted October 25, 2006 Report Share Posted October 25, 2006 (edited) Well, sniff, sniff, looks around carefully has mentioned she might back out of the 7 row aisle seats we have in Englewood. If that is true, I would have a ticket to sell and a free room. I hope she makes it, especially because I am going to bill her tonight. Just saying... OH - Wheee for future clack!!!!! both TV and concert! Do you think I should guess and apply for Early show and today show tickets just in case?

Working late at the office tonight...just wanted to pop in and say hey...I caught the stink of CLay's "Fall from The Graceful Fifty" heh... whatever... :glare: Hope brings eternal in this bountiful bosom. I'm grinning because every time I've seen Clay in recent appearances, he seems grounded and happy and PRESENT. I really think he has such a wonderfully healthful way of approaching the ups and downs of life. There are quite a few of his 'devoted' fans who could learn from him---his number of years on this earth might be few compared to many of the vocal hoardes who love him "unconditionally", but IMO he's used them damned well and seems to learn from every step and misstep. He impresses the hell outta me, over and over. He's living his life, you know? Doing his very, very best with anything he's given. Even when he's given shit, he makes something good out of it. And what do you know? I'm just now hearing the last lines of a song from ATDW... "I can only give you everything I have." He does that. I have no doubt.

Ok...off to catch a bus...and then get home, get a glass of wine and settle down to acouple more hours of work. :glare: Gotta get all my banquet orders ready to submit to the hotel tomorrow.

JennaZ Posted October 25, 2006 Report Share Posted October 25, 2006 Love your attitude, musikfest. And yes, I'm on the West Coast. LA (well, technically Sherman Oaks). So Clay is singing Christmas songs he's sung before? Yay! He sings them so beautifully, it doesn't disappoint me in the least. And without the structure of a play or program, he'll be free to do what he does best -- ad lib! I miss his clever concert banter. I'll just bet that those moments between songs will be as deliciously charming as ever. And thanks for the yummy thumbnail! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
