He is sitting in front of a fan. Talking about the 70's.

He just said he is happy to be coming back! A lot of controversy in the 70's there was one wonderful thing in the 70's and the crowd went crazy. Bridge now.

----

Fan under the piano and it is blowing his pants around. He sounds so clear and absolutely amazing. Can't believe we can actually hear it. We have heard every song without fail.

Bridge and Doves is just around the corner.

He doesn't want to move to do Bridge and Doves because of the fan by the piano. He really says he hates polyester. People dressed like this and watched the Brady Bunch.

Said he really doesn't want to move because of the fan. He is apparently cool right there.

Siad that he can only think of one thing that was really wonderful from the seventies. And the crowd went wild.

---

He can only think of one thing that's really wonderful from the 70's

Bridge now.

I meant cool air fan, not one of us. Just to clarify.

---

Jacob's stuff was clearer for us than Sailing. It is cutting in and out and we can really hear the drums but we only hear him when he says "Sailing, take me away."

That part is realy clear.

lots of laughter ..

---

Oclayhoman18, it never fails that your connection fades on clay and soars with someone else's song....

He's got the crowd laughing over the dancing in the ninties...

Saying he can make the back-ups do whatever he wants them to do....making them do three different dances at the same time.....

Black Velvet....wonder if they'd like a nice montage to play on the jumbotron while she sings this!

---

Hope just said......"do you hear him? he said my name is on the ticket....." something like that....but i didn't hear the rest.......

---

He is getting them to do the Can't Touch This Stuff.

Says he can make them do whatever he wants to make them do.

He just got up from the floor and time for Black Velvet.

Can't wait for LLVL!!

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The 90's now. Clay is doing the Cabbage Patch. The Running Man. Barb's laughing. He had all three back up singers doing a different dance . He said they will do whatever he wants because they are his toys. I love assertive , I'm da man, Clay.

---

Time for Clay to torture Angela, Jacob and Quiana.

Black Velvet now.

Angela is really going for it on this one.

---

---

He's talking about the vest of many colors worn in the '90's. "We did dances like this" and making faces. Audience is laughing and cheering.

Intro-ing the 90s now. Going through the wardrobe choices of Jacob, Quiana and Angela.

Clay says, "We did dancing like THIS!" I guess he demonstrates, because the crowd erupts into cheers.

"See I get to make them do whatever I want them to do, because my name is on the ticket."

Tells Quiana to do the running man, Jacob to do something else, Angela to do some other dance move. Hee! But gets it done with quickly.

"Black Velvet."

Angela is absolutely stunning on BV !

---

Clarence with the deep voice.

End of the Road.

Big security guard carried a little girl up to the fence by the stage to take a pic. AWWWWWWWWw!!!

---

Here it comes....just about my favorite moment of the night. His voice is so pure, so perfect.

Turn down the bed

Turn down these voices

inside my head

Lay down with me

Tell me no lies

Just hold me close,

don't patronize

Don't patronize me

Cause I can't make you love me (someone just yelled Yes, you can!)

if you don't

You can't make your heart feel

something it won't

Here in the dark

in these final hours

I will lay down my heart

And I'll feel the power

but you won't

No, you won't

Cause I can't make you love me

if you don't

And he just takes his chair and walks away.

---

DINO SAID THAT WAS SOOOOOO HAWT!!!

---

ICMYLM is truly lethal. the downloaded mp3 by musicmama from Greenville is just stunning on headphones. short commercial there.

OK

llvl -- Audience is screaming.

He had a red-orange shirt, the same color as the background, so it was hard for her to see.

For ICMYLM, he's just sitting on a chair. Heavy sighs from Kjmmom.

This is just haunting and beautiful. I love his voice in this song.

---

Turn down the lights......"............i'm just listening.............."I CAN'T MAKE YOU LOVE ME".............it sounds sooooooooo smooth............i have to just listen.................ok major screaming now............she said........."oh that was sooooooooo good".............Quiana's turn................that girl can sing!............it sounds so quiet.............except for her.........does she sing that w/out music? ..........wow........just wow..............break in the song................lots of screams for her.........you go girl............ok i hear some music now..................what a pretty voice...............

---

Quiana now - I Will Always Love You! Amazing! Beautiful! Wow she can sing!

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I will always love you!!

We will always love Clay.

Quiana is fabulous on this one. Her voice sounds crystal clear.

This song makes me tear up!!

---

Can't Make You Love Me...oh yes you can and you did Clay.

Quiana now.IWALY so easy and crystal clear. Just proves that a panel of 3 judge's don't know everything and taste is subjective. This girl is a star in her own right. Another thing we can thank Mr. Aiken for. He brought us another beautiful voice to enjoy

New song sounded nice... seemed to have a bit of a catchy hook... but it's a ballad .. a love song... I couldn't understand the words though... it doesn't have the "grab you" hook that BFM does...

I actually liked that song better on first listen than Just you...but not as much as I liked BFM...

I think the probelm is we didnt really hear the build up too much because it was not always very clear.

This is a more typical Clay song though...but it was good.

Raleigh News and Observer

Cary crowd gives Clay high marks

Quote:

From Concertgoer Reports

CARY -- Clay Nation was content Friday night. The citizens were hot and couldn't buy a breeze, but Clay Aiken's Jukebox Summer Tour made happy campers out of the 7,000 or so people at Koka Booth Amphitheatre at Regency Park.

The songlist spanned '50s to the present -- from "Twisting the Night Away" to "Invisible" is how fan Pamela Broadwell described it -- and included songs that concertgoers expect to hear on his next album.

We asked concertgoers to post their comments on a forum at www.newsobserver.com. Those who responded were all but unanimous in saying that the adored singer from Raleigh delivered the music, the moves and the charm the expected.

Here's a sampling:

* Kay Hester of Raleigh: "I have attended all of Clay's concerts, and each one gets better than the one before. It's so obvious that Clay is maturing in his performance, and he keeps that wonderful ability to connect with his audience."

* Hannah Wolfe of Hillsborough: "He always finds a way to connect with his crowd, and he never ceases to amaze! His dorky dance moves and quirky comments ('I'm sweating like Ruben tonight!') definitely added to the evening."

* Annette Brantley of Middlesex: "He is a beautiful man with a beautiful voice. Even my husband, who is not a major Clay-maniac like me, was clapping and screaming. We thoroughly enjoyed every second of the show."

* Nicole Androsiglio of Raleigh: "I really love his jokes. I liked when he was making Angela, Quiana and Jacob dance and he said, 'I get to make them do whatever i want, cause MY name's on the ticket.' ... I do get a tad bit jealous when Angela and Clay start dancing. She starts touching his hair and pulling his shirt. Then her and Quiana start rubbing his stomach. Could they get any more lucky?' "

* Mike Smith of Raleigh: "It's admirable that he is so generous to his backup singers, but I imagine they sang 25 percent of the tunes. We were there to hear Clay sing. He is a refreshing counterpoint to most of the sleazy stuff that our kids are force-fed, and we will continue to be fans, but this concert was tedious."

* Jessica Woltz of Apex. "It was great to get a taste of his new album. (I am already addicted to the new song.)"

* Aubrey Templeton of Goldsboro: "Clay was totally working the stage, and he didn't miss a beat. He was perfect, and all his performances were so much fun. I got a kick out of watching the security guys boogying to Clay, too. ... I LOVED watching Clay dance (And yes, Clay, you CAN dance!) and just really getting into it all."

* Jen Baucom of Durham. "Grannies bumped shoulders with moms who cheered and sang along with their daughters (and some husbands!) ... a great crowd of very enthusiastic Clayniacs. Clay's backup singers were, as usual, fantastic, and watching him banter with them on stage was fun. The show left us with big smiles on our faces!"

* Neva Miller of Apex: "Who else could sing Elvis, Earth, Wind & Fire, Lionel Richie, Barry Manilow, and Prince -- and sound better than the artists themselves?"

* Pamela Broadwell of Clayton: "Who else would channel Elvis one minute and the Monkees the next? Who else would have the temerity to sing the Archies and Simon and Garfunkel in the same show? Name one other singer who would dare to sing the sweet Christopher Cross ballad 'Sailing' and then follow it with MC Hammer? ... When I spend my hard-earned money on a concert ticket, I want to be entertained, to feel something, to laugh and have a good time. I was, I did, and I can't wait to do it again."

Clay-mazing show for faithful fans

By WENDY LEMUS, STAFF WRITER

Friends Jackie MacFarlane and Katie Canning came a long way to see Clay Aiken's sold-out show at the Koka Booth Amphitheatre at Regency Park on Friday night.

So, with general admission tickets in hand, they weren't going to risk sitting on the far reaches of the lawn. The New Jerseyian and Canadian, respectively, were the second and third people to arrive at the gate — at about 10 a.m. — a full 10 hours before the concert.

The friends met through a chat room devoted to their mutual idol, and decided to follow the Raleigh singer's Jukebox Summer Tour — from New Jersey, to New York City, then to Darien Lake, N.Y., and Cary.

"It's like a reunion," said Canning, 18.

Albeit a hot and sticky one. Concertgoers who lined up early for the 8 p.m. show endured sun, humidity and temperatures in the 90s. Some held umbrellas, or waved fans bearing the idol's picture on them, to keep cool.

When the gates opened at 6 p.m., some 7,000 ticketholders streamed into the amphitheater. (The final few tickets were sold a couple hours before showtime.)

Many fans wore signs proclaiming their fan status — T-shirts reading "Jukebox Summer Tour," "Clay Aiken Official Fan Club Member," "Ultimate Claymate" and even "The Future Mrs. Aiken."

"Just the thought of seeing him is so, like, awesome," said 15-year-old Lizzy Phillips of Fayetteville, who shrieked when a nearby group of binoculars-holding concertgoers spotted the singer doing a pre-concert meet-and-greet in the backstage area with some lucky fans.

If the 26-year-old Aiken has come a long way in terms of image from his famous red sideburns-and-geeky-glasses "American Idol" television show audition in 2003, audience members say he certainly has grown as a performer too.

Many in his female-heavy fan base have seen Aiken in concert multiple times in the two short years since he hit the touring circuit.

"He's so much more confident," said MacFarlane, 18. "He has improved drastically. He seems like he's enjoying himself so much.

"I can't believe it's the same Clay that walked into that audition."

Aiken has one full-length album to his name, not including a Christmas song collection. Obviously that means he has to find other material to entertain fans lining up to see him in concert.

With the Jukebox Summer Tour, he made some bold choices. Who dares take on the King of Rock ‘N' Roll other than an Elvis impersonator?

In a 25-city tour that celebrates five decades of rock ‘n' roll, Aiken could not have left out Presley.

Performing for more than two hours, he belted out some of the last few decades' best-known songs — made popular by the Bee Gees, Prince and Marvin Gaye to name a few.

He has proved — Randy, Paula and Simon, take note — that it is not the song choice that matters.

It is the voice. And he can sing. He is at his best when he does powerful ballads, and there were plenty of those Friday night.

Aiken and three highly energetic backup singers — who also had a chance to show off their vocals with some solos — started in the 1950s with an old time rock ‘n' roll medley of standards such as "The Twist" and "Great Balls of Fire."

An Elvis medley included "Love Me Tender," "Hound Dog" and "Heartbreak Hotel."

A trip through the '60s included "Solitaire," a Neil Sedaka song that impressed the "American Idol" judges and which Aiken later recorded as a CD single.

Then it was on to Motown and kitschy dance steps reminiscent of The Temptations and The Four Tops.

Just before a break, Aiken headed into the reserved-seat section near the stage, microphone in hand, joking, "I know there's some men who were tied to the roof of the car and dragged here tonight. We need somebody who's just miserable."

Guess he knows who is making him rich.

Victim found. During the second half of the show the man was pulled onstage for backup dancing to a collection of '70s hits, which Aiken followed with two popular ballads from that decade: Barry Manilow's "Mandy" and Simon & Garfunkel's "Bridge Over Troubled Water."

Probably Aiken's biggest stretch of the evening was a rendition of Prince's "When Doves Cry." He did not sound a bit like Prince. The performance was, however, spine-tingling. He made the song his own. The "American Idol" judges would be proud.

The show finished with some selections from the new millennium — from Aiken's 2003 "Measure of a Man" CD and with a glimpse of a new CD he is working on.

Then the jukebox turned off (yes, there was a real jukebox on stage), the stage lights dimmed and there was no need for an encore. The sweat-inducing show had included 60-plus songs, in full or part.

Patty Allen of Wake Forest, who attended the concert with her 14-year-old daughter Kate, said the concert was like a trip down memory lane.

And Aiken's performance? In a word, "awesome," Allen said.

The show turned out even better than MacFarlane and Canning had expected; at the 11th hour some reserved-seat tickets had opened for sale and they ditched their general admission tickets for fourth row.
