Tidbits 11/28
All Is Well, Clay's 4-track Christmas EP is now available at your local Wal-Mart. If you don't have your hands on a copy yet - run!! This is a limited release CD and will sell out. According to our sources, Canadian Wal-Marts will receive their copies of AIW sometime in December.
- Inside Bay Area- pop music is always unpredictable -- "Then there's Clay Aiken and the whole "American Idol" phenomenon. And the fact that Lukas Rossi was picked to lead Rock Star Supernova will surely puzzle future generations."
- Monsters & Critics - article about Christmas tours mentions Clay's symphonic Christmas tour which kicks off this Friday. -- CDD'S COMPLETE TOUR COVERAGE IS AVAILABLE HERE.
- If you want a nice visual presentation of all of Clay's tour dates, check out this cool webpage at Claymatized.
- Foxes on Idol- ATDW covers idea "didn't work".
MSNBC/Access Hollywood - Hollywood & the price of fame for Clay Aiken -- No one could’ve guessed the firestorm that would have erupted following Clay Aiken’s appearance on Regis and Kelly.
It’s amazing what one hand can do. But you can be sure that Clay would like to have that moment back. Especially when you consider that deep down, he’s a quite country boy who doesn’t always want the attention he gets.
- USA Today Idol blog- don't expect Grammy nods for Clay.
- Trapper Juan (non-Clay) comments on the power of the Clay nation:
This past Sunday, I made a generally pointless post about the Clay Aiken/Kelly Ripa nontroversy, fully expecting it to not get any feedback whatsoever. I was real, real wrong. In the hours following the posting, this blog received 1695 hits, along with a slew of Claymate comments you can feel free to read below. Unprecedented! Holy shit.
I had no idea Clay fans were so, for a lack of a better term, gangsta. (I really wish I wasn't lacking a better term at this juncture, but so it goes.) Although I think Ripa (or "Ripacrite," as y'all have taken to calling her) reacted completely inappropriately, I'd be lying if I said I was a fan of the dude's music. I'm just not, you know? His charity work garners obvious kudos, and he seems like a stand-up dude, but his songs? Meh. No offense. Regardless, I find the Claynation's ability to mobilize and work off a shared agenda seriously impressive. And here I thought Michael Jackson fans were so serious. If Clay ever shot for public office or something, I'm pretty sure he'd win based on Claymate poll turnout alone. Hypothetically speaking, the dude could run on a purely sociopathic "death to Sharp-Pei puppies in sneakers" platform, and I'm pretty sure he'd still oust any pathetic incumbent foolhardy enough to avoid concession before the primary. - Southern Girl -a Christmas memo to self.
