AngerCounty.com Editors Declare "Clay is the best vocal talent of this generation"

In an article about Ashlee Simpson's lipsynching on last year's Saturday Night Live, editors at AngerCounty.com, a country music site, offers high praises for our Clay.

Abridged version of the article and reade responses:

Saturday Night... Live? Ashlee Simpson: Take Two
Ashlee Simpson "performs" on Saturday Night Live again tonight, almost a year after she was caught lip-synching on that same show. Fans and viewers were outraged by the taped vocals and spoke out loudly on Ms. Simpson's site, and here at AngryCountry. While we wait to see what gimmick she pulls to try and prove she's really singing this time, we take a look back at her not so 'Live" performance and the reaction from those who saw it:

Saturday Night Live was not as "Live" as people expected last night. Musical Guest Ashlee Simpson poorly lip-synched her first song, and then a technical glitch or mistake led to the wrong vocal track being played for her second performance proving her fraud as she stood there confused while her recorded voice filled the airwaves . Simpson's band picked up the slack, attempting to save the show as Ashlee walked off the stage. Just a minute in (on a musical segment usually four or more minutes long) SNL pulled the plug, cutting quickly to a commercial.

Although she'd initially blamed her band, Ashlee Simpson took full responsibility Sunday for her lip-synching snafu on "Saturday Night Live," saying that her voice was ragged from too much work.

Reader Response
The Ashlee Simpson fiasco on SNL was inexcusable...but her "excuse" was the best...the band started playing the wrong song!!!! Ummm, didn't they rehearse 2 songs? I have no respect for "artists" that are successful because of studio recording enhancements and cannot perform live... Now....have you been to a Clay Aiken performance? The kid is better live than on any of his recordings. How many others can stake that claim? Gloria

Editor's Response to Gloria: Yes, I have seen Clay Aiken perform in concert and I agree completely. Clay is easily the best Pop vocal talent of his generation.
