Last Spot Taken On Good Morning America Summer Concert LineUp

Our hopes that Clay would fill the last spot for the Good Morning America Summer Concert lineup have been flickering for weeks. However, those hopes were finally snuffed out when that final July 21 spot was filled by Taylor Hicks, this year's American Idol winner. It could've been Clay's 3rd consecutive year on the Summer Concert series lineup. Below is the complete schedule.

SUMMER SERIES SCHEDULE

• June 23 - Mary J Blige

• July 28 - Huey Lewis & The News

Of course, we are all disappointed and had high hopes of Clay filling that last spot. However, we need to think positively and that something even better will show up along the way. We can't necessary blame Team Clay, since we don't know what else is going on in Clay's personal or professional life. Possibly there were prior commitments or other reasons why Clay chose not to perform this year. Meanwhile, we have our memories of Clay's prior performances to enjoy. And let's look forward to good things to come!
