• VOTE-- AOL Music Poll- Ruben vs. Clay... whose CD will you buy?
  
• Bouncer15 at the Clayboard, Bouncer15 said that Ryan Seacrest mentioned Clay on E! Network. She also said: "(Ryan) mentioned his new look, but had an old Clay pic, I think with glasses, and said album out Sept 19. The show re-airs in L.A. tomorow at 11 am, don't know if other time zones have the same schedule."

• Philidelphia Inquirer- "It's so exciting when American Idol battles spill out onto the streets. Ruben Studdard, who laid the smackdown on Clay Aiken on the show's second season, will again have to face off with his vicious, trash-talkin' rival next month when their new albums are let loose. Clay will unsheath A Thousand Different Ways on Sept. 19."
• San Antonio Express News (My SA.com) - Article entitled "Come Ready to Sport your Signature Style at 'Idol'" by Michael Quintanilla.
