Tidbits 8/22

• Clay blogged today. 'Bored' as he may be, Clay seems very excited and nervous about the impeding ATDW release. He says everything is now complete- recording, photoshoots, approval etc. Some special performances were also filmed for Wal-Mart's Soundcheck feature. Read it for yourself at the official fanclub (members only).
• Sarasota Herald Tribune- Indie music store stocks Clay Aiken -- "Technically, the store also has the tacky and sentimental -- Clay Aiken, Kelly Clarkson, et al. -- but that's so ... not cool."
• Access Hollywood: "I haven't heard Ruben's name in a long time (and it was runner-up Clay Aiken, not the actual winner of "Idol" season two, who performed at this year's finale), it sounds like Ruben's career is flourishing."
  

• Something That Really Happened - AI2 memories... I Could Not Ask For More.
• Two blogs from Southern Girl -first one about the 30 sec. clips from ATDW that came out this morning, 2nd one about the blog.
• TV Guide's MySpace blogger: Clay stole my hairdo!
• MySpace blogger - I'd rather listen to Clay Aiken than Justin Timberlake's "revolting piece of trash"
• Singers At The Heart offers a non-Clay fan perspective about ATDW:

  something about Clay's version rings truer then all others to me. When he is not belting his tenor lungs out, I find that his voice hints of the type of vulnerabilty and heart that is conveyed in the plaintive lyric. As for his tone, I think it has gained in color and maturity, most probably a result of the growing up the brown-haired accidental hunk has had to do
