Clay The Headline Story on Yesterday's CNN Showbiz Tonight

Yesterday's American Idol appearance confusion landed Clay on CNN Showbiz Tonight's top story yesterday! The show lavished Clay and his success talking about his tremendous concert and CD sales and even highlighted the fact that Clay is Idol's bestselling concert artist even beating Kelly Clarkson. Adriana Costa, CNN's reporter, said: "and come on, the red hair doesn't hurt--he is just adorable!" Even more, CNN mentioned the fact that Bo Bice hasn't come near to Clay's runner-up success. WOW!

Also, Clay's success was the topic of discussion on Neil Cavuto's FOX News Channel Show. Here's a recap from the CDD's Clayscience21:

It was an interview with a writer from Rolling Stone magazine. It was a very nice presentation of Clay's album sales and concert sales. Some comments about how the non-winners also have careers. Diana and Bo's CD / Concert sales were also shown and presented in a positive way. The writer mentioned that calls to Justin Guarini's management gave them the option to ask about cruise ship bookings (which was taken as not a good thing). The writer predicted that Taylor would win. He did make the comment about Taylor possibly being a hipper Clay Aiken. Other than that, the piece was very positive for Clay.

I did tape it. I hope someone Tivoed it because it takes a while to transfer from analog VCR tape to digital form.

ETA: The writer also suggested that Clay's great album and concert sales indicated that he really should have won the show.

ETAA: Geekette at CH says that she capped this, so eventually it should be available.
