"The Wired Baron" Praises Clay, Claymates

The Wired Baron, published by the Fountain Valley High School Online News network had heapings of praise for Clay. Here's what they say in their article on Clay:

Michael Sandecki, recipient of the "Best Impersonation"award was among the lucky few who were recognized. Sandecki was given the opportunity to perform a song by his favorite idol, Clay Aiken.

American Idol, notorious for their wildcard decisions, threw in one more surprise for this nominee. Within minutes of his performance a renowned pop artist and heartthrob stepped up to the mic. Season two runner-up, Clay Aiken accompanied Sandecki in Elton John's "Don't Let the Sun Go Down on Me."Sandecki, too thrilled to articulate, stood in awe with his jaw dropped as Aiken charmed the audience.

However, this guest appearance was not only a treat for Michael Sandecki. Many Clay fans (also known as "Claymates") were pleased to see that he had sported a new longer, darker haircut, which resembled a more modern Beatle. How remarkable is this new look? E! had dedicated a brief segment on the 27th in order to comment Aiken's new hairstyle. Undoubtedly this transformation had been a hot topic in the media.

Aiken's powerful performance and new style was just the wake-up call needed for Clay fans and non-fans alike. This visit on Idol certainly boosted his popularity. Many are now clambering all over record stores in order to purchase his CDs, while others are anticipating the release of his new album which is rumored to be released between June 20th and July 17th. By being a motivational writer, UNICEF ambassador, and lovable underdog, Aiken has been an inspiration to all. After such an amazing appearance, this accomplished star will no longer be "invisible"to the public.
