		<description>It&#039;s nice to hear Clay sing UM again so well in a live situation. That was my wedding song! I&#039;m hoping he&#039;s getting another album out soon; I thought his 2008 album&quot;On My Way Here&quot; was done quite well. Even though Clay can frustrate me at times, I still love the voice and persona that came through in AI2.</description>

		<description>In some ways, I miss the old Idol format.  I was also remembering how much I enjoyed Clay&#039;s Christmas special.</description>

		<description>I thought he sounded good.  I was also touched that David Foster called Clay his brother-in-law.  Of course they aren&#039;t really--Clay Aiken is not married to Jaymes Foster--but I think it&#039;s so sweet that they think of each other that way.  Nice family spirit.  

You know, I really rooted for Clay during S2--such an underdog.  But AI was a different kind of competition back then.  It wasn&#039;t about songwriters or arrangers or musicians--it was just about singing, and Clay&#039;s great at it.  But beyond country music, you don&#039;t see successful recording artists who only sing.</description>

		<description>Temkanoe: Yeah, he lost his voice! That&#039;s the reason he was so welcomed by the audience, Did you see the people&#039;s reaction while he was singing? If you watched the video you had to see it. Not only at the beginning and end of the song but also during the song. That was a nice surprise for the audience, like a wonderful bonus! And I&#039;m so surprised that Clay Aiken&#039;s video was posted on this blog along with a positive comment, he is usually ignored to say the least.</description>

		<description>temkanoe If you flip the &quot;page if you see his image&quot; and &quot; flip the channel&quot; if he comes on why are you watching the video. Seems to me you would have &quot;flipped&quot; right past the video and not made a negative comment here if you had lost interest.</description>

		<description>His voice is gone????? You&#039;re kidding, right? You know, I can&#039;t stand Adam Lambert, but many many people love him. So I don&#039;t go around putting him down, I don&#039;t watch his vids and come here and diss him. I wouldn&#039;t disrespect his fans in that manner. If you don&#039;t like Clay Aiken, why did you watch this vid? If you&#039;ve lost interest, move on for your own peace of mind, and allow those of us who find Clay Aiken amazing to enjoy him. And I add...Adam fans...enjoy your guy!</description>

		<description>I went ahead and listened to the good quality vid...and yeah, his voice is gone. Its sad. I was such an uber fan of Clay way back when, when I was younger. And he was always so super cheesy I liked it. But I never saw any growth in his music  it got boring. Bleh. Now if I see his image I flip the the page and if I see him on tv I flip the channel. Bleh...I&#039;ve lost interest.</description>

		<description>Here&#039;s a u tube version that is considerably better in both video and audio quality:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dTugnsf3Cnk&amp;feature=player_embedded

BTW:  Clay is singing UM in the same key (not lower) that David Foster always selects for it (beginning with his performance at Foster&#039;s Gala in Canada).  

For a singer who has been on almost a full year of vocal rest following significant TMJ surgery, he&#039;s well on his way back.</description>

		<description>There may be more competition since Clay was on AI, but the record companies are going down the tubes.

I doubt anyone will ever break his MCWL stats.

As to why some people seem to think because he hadn&#039;t recorded a new CD, toured, or made appearances in a year or so, it&#039;s simple. The man took time off to spend with his child.  The man knows his priorities.</description>

		<description>I always thought Clay had a beautiful voice.  Yes, there IS more competition and music style changes.  I still believe Clay will always find work singing.</description>
