Leroy Posted May 9, 2017 Report Posted May 9, 2017 What a great interview on salon.com. He was so well spoken and articulate. Sounds like he'd welcome a phone call from AI. *Prays*
merrieeee Posted May 9, 2017 Report Posted May 9, 2017 Aww, what a nice pic! The guy has so much going for him. When things come up in the news he has so many of the right credentials to be called upon. Trump-check, idol-check, politics-check, gay-check, entertainment-check, intellligent-check, articulate-check and finally the camera loves him-check! 2
Twilight926 Posted May 9, 2017 Report Posted May 9, 2017 That's a nice pic! Great interview on Salon.com! I would love to see Clay on the reboot of Idol in some way! Will be surprised if that happens.

ldyjocelyn Posted May 10, 2017 Author Report Posted May 10, 2017 Finally got to watch. He is so damned poised when he talks, if you ask me! I think merrieeee hits it on the head -- he's knowledgeable on a variety of topics, and so he can be pulled in for almost anything anymore. Doesn't hurt that he looks great too. As for him being on Idol...eh. I would watch if he was on, but I just don't think he's going to get that call.
FearofH2O Posted May 10, 2017 Report Posted May 10, 2017 Very good interview. I like the way he is still modestly says AI2 was Rubens's show.
Sectman44 Posted May 10, 2017 Report Posted May 10, 2017 Thank you IdyJ for the video! Great interview!
ninna721 Posted May 10, 2017 Report Posted May 10, 2017 Bringing this from elsewhere. Thanks Norma Bahr Orlowek " I was just watching the Wendy Williams show, and she was talking about the return of American Idol. She said there's one person that she thinks would make a great judge, and that would be Clay Aiken! What a surprise that was, and I loved the picture of him that they put up! P. S. The audience roared when she said it, too!"
FearofH2O Posted May 10, 2017 Report Posted May 10, 2017 Thanks ninna, hope others think so too. He would definitely add humor to AI. I don't see anything on Clay's FB page. Maybe it starts at noon.
merrieeee Posted May 10, 2017 Report Posted May 10, 2017 It started around noon and was quite good. He interviewed her about her new book. Another gig for him. Shallow note.......he looked good too!
ninna721 Posted May 10, 2017 Report Posted May 10, 2017 I loved the interview. And I'm just fine with shallow. He just would Not look at the camera for more than a second!
ldyjocelyn Posted May 10, 2017 Author Report Posted May 10, 2017 It's on Salon's FB page. He is a natural interviewer. That was very enjoyable, and he asks great questions. Love the sweater look on him too!
ninna721 Posted May 10, 2017 Report Posted May 10, 2017 Did you know Salon has a download button( (at least on this video)
ldyjocelyn Posted May 11, 2017 Author Report Posted May 11, 2017 I'll have to check that out -- thanks ninna! Cute gif from Bold's Twitter feed! 1
MFforCA Posted May 11, 2017 Report Posted May 11, 2017 Very nice pics of Clay - he still looks so youthful. Thanks, ninna, for the info about the Wendy Williams comment. I read an article about the possible (not carved in stone yet it said) return of AI, and that they wanted Kelly to be a judge. IIRC, Clay once said when there was speculation that they were changing up the judges, that the only person they really wanted was her and he wasn't in the running. The way they parted company at the end of their run, I don't think they really want him, which is too bad as he'd be a really good judge - praise what goes well, but constructive criticism when it's needed. The judges on The Voice are just as bad as the AI ones for praising everything when it isn't that great.
