Foxes on Idol Article Includes Great Clay Mentions

In my opinion, Donna Reynolds writes great articles for Idols on Fox. Her article, "Idol Thoughts, May 16: Why Taylor Must Win!" is no exception. Though this article is about Taylor Hicks from AI5 and why she thinks he must win, Donna has great things to say about Clay twice!

In talking about the excitement Taylor has generated this year, she mentions how "Clay pulled people in with his emotion, vulnerability, and crystal clean vocals" on AI2.

And her second mention is even better! Donna talks about how so much of today's pop music lacks the excitement and "feeling of exhileration" that music had in past decades. She feels American Idol has changed that and brought more excitement to the fans. And she uses Clay and his fans as examples by saying:

If you doubt that, consider the whole Clay Aiken phenomena. Need I say more? The noise for Clay started early in the season, and by the time the finale came around, it was positively deafening. It continued through the Idol tour, the release of his CDs, and his numerous sold-out tours and shows. They screamed, they fainted, and they swooned. It was remarkable. Clay Aiken became the star of season 2 and he didn't even win. Looking back, it is still astonishing. For whatever reason, Simon didn't see or didn't want to see what was so potently obvious even then. Despite the fact that he didn't fit into a neat little box, Clay had something special that drew people to him and his music. I don't think Simon's ever forgiven him!
Now that's something that I can definitely agree with!
