Michael Orland Has Great Comments About Clay in Image Magazine

Thanks to iluvyouclay at The Clayboard, we have learned that there is a great Clay mention in a Michael Orland article in Image Magazine. Image is apparently a magazine that is only available in California. To see a scan of this article, go to the "Image" Clayboard thread (link above) or click the Image link below
Michael Orland, who worked with Clay on American Idol, has some really wonderful things to say about him. In the Image article concerning Clay's AI5 appearance, he said:

First of all, I think Clay's spot was the highlight of the finale. And about his new look - when I first saw it, I was totally shocked and surprised, and then I got used to it.....I think Clay's new, great look is indicative of what is about to break for his future. He'll be hitting the music scene with fresh material in a big way. He's just got it - he's that talented and that different.

Concerning Clay as a person, he said:

Clay is one of the most giving nad generous performers I've ever known. When I worked with him on the Jukebox Tour, it became particularly evident. I have never seen a performer in my life who can share the spotlight as easily and genuinely with other talented people like he does and feel so unthreatened by it. That can only come from a feeling of complete security about who he is as a performer - its one of the things that make him unique.

When I read comments about Clay such as this by someone as talented as Michael Orland is and who knows Clay well, it is then that I especially realize that some of the bad reviews and comments made by other people are really fairly meaningless. These are the things that really count that are said by people who are much more "in the know", and we can feel very good about this great article.
