Tidbits 6/6

• Lawrence.com: article about Jerett Fulton, a Dallas sound engineer who has worked with Clay... "The lanky 24-year-old audiophile recently relocated from Dallas, where he spent two years as a staff engineer for Maximedia. At that $1,000-a-day studio, Jackson refined his art in the company of high-profile clients like The Polyphonic Spree, Vanilla Ice and Clay Aiken."
• Clay dropped to #40 on the Lycos50. Let's get him back into the top 10, Claymates! SEARCH, SEARCH, SEARCH!
• Dianne Austin's reflections on traveling to Clay's hometown.
• 411 Mania: Nice compliment... "with the exception of Clay Aiken, the [American Idol] non-winners are pretty much guaranteed an end to their fifteen minutes as soon as the credits roll on the season finale."
• TV Squad: Clay, Kelly are AI's only successful idols. "So far, the only really successful non-winner seems to be Clay Aiken, who sued to break away from the Idol contract. And the only really successful winner is Kelly Clarkson, and that's because she split from 19 Entertainment, the management company that mis-manages all the Idol winners."
• Small Clay mention in BeaversOnIdol's Elliott Yamin article.
• American Idol's jaded journalist expresses his opinions on the AI finale: "One, do you wonder if Michael thinks the audience is cheering for him? Two, what in the world happened to Clay's head? It looks like he thought he was going on twenty minutes later and was showering when he was called to the stage. Actually, it looks like somebody put their hands on his head and pushed down. Anyway, just about anything I say about Clay will get me into trouble, so let's leave well enough alone."
• Check out Invisible Kingdom, a fantastic (and new) Canadian based Clay blog.
• On Yahoo! Launch music: Clay's Invisible video has risen from #24 to #85, while Clay's The Way video has risen from #485 to #49. Cool! Keep watching via Yahoo! Launch to increase Clay's ranking...
• Antimusic: 666 represents "Clayton Holmes Grissom" (huh?)
