Tidbits 12/28

  • The Official Fanclub has posted the 4th installment of the Virgin Megastore exclusive video. This video was taken at Virgin Megastore Los Angeles on September 26 when Clay signed autographs at the store. Installments 1 through 3 are also available. Fanclub members can access this video under the Media section of the fanclub once logged in.
  • TV moments of the year - AI5 appearance:
    • Reality TV Magazine - "#10 During the American Idol 5 finale, Michael Sandecki was giving his best Clay Aiken impersonation, when Clay Aiken himself walked out on the stage. Who can forget Michael almost going into shock on the stage?"
    • Portland Mercury, Seattle Stranger:
      MICHAEL SANDECKI—THE GUY WHO HAD A CLAY AIKEN FREAK-OUT (from American Idol): Idol fans may remember Michael Sandecki as the Clay Aiken look-alike/number-one fan who auditioned for AI, but didn't go to Hollywood. However! When he was invited to sing "Don't Let the Sun Go Down on Me" during the Idol finale as a tribute to Aiken, he went completely ape poop when the real Clay Aiken swished onstage! It looked like someone told him he'd won $50 million at the exact moment he accidentally stepped on a downed power line. In other words... awesome.
  • Days of our Lives mentions:
  • About.com - Ryan Seacrest upset about Clay Aiken/Kelly Clarkson gay question posed to him during radio interview.
  • St. Paul Pioneer Press - Carrie Underwood article, small Clay mentions (negative)
  • Scranton Times - article about a NC band which opened for Clay at Musikfest in 2004.
  • TV Guide horoscope 2007 (negative)
  • Kelly/Clay:
  • My San Antonio mentions Clay topping Lycos' 2006 most-searched for list.
  • My San Antonio - jokes?? Some random Clay mentions...
  • Daily Press - 2007 predictions for the Grammys:
    The Rolling Stones win a posthumous achievement Grammy. Informed that the Rolling Stones aren’t dead yet, a Grammy spokesman says, “You’re kidding?”

    When the group lurches up on stage to accept the award nonetheless, a surprised and horrified presenter Clay Aiken screams, “Run! Zombies!”
  • WGHP FOX-TV - OK... please give me a break! This is absolutely TERRIBLE journalism! Don't miss the other WGHP report, below this item, which is even more outrageous!
    Now, Clay has brought his drama to the Piedmont. Over the weekend he performed with the Greensboro Symphony Orchestra for a Christmas concert. Apparently, Clay was scheduled to perform with a number of local artists -- all of whom were canceled from the show's bill at the last moment. So, only Clay performed.

    Clay certainly didn't win any fans over after that incident. Whether it was his call or "his people," it definitely was not a decision made in the spirit of holiday of giving. One of the scheduled singers, a local teen, said not only was he told he wouldn't be able to perform with Clay, but when the two took a picture together, Clay exhibited less than star-like qualities.
  • ahem... and here's the FOX-TV report for you to judge yourself... Didn't people buy tickets to see Clay Aiken? And, this report mentions: "Crawford reportedly told Joshua he was being cut from the show because he was not singing Christmas tunes" DUH! It's a Christmas concert!

    I am not making this up:
    15-year-old Joshua Willard of Lexington was supposed to sing during Saturday’s concert. He rehearsed Saturday afternoon at the Greensboro Coliseum and was looking forward to singing on the same stage with Aiken.

    About half an hour after rehearsal, Willard said he was told his act had been cut from the show. Joshua said Lisa Crawford from the Greensboro Symphony relayed a message from Clay’s team. Crawford reportedly told Joshua he was being cut from the show because he was not singing Christmas tunes.

    "Clay's sitting there behind us kind of...barely touching us like he thinks we're diseased or something," said Joshua.

    Clay used to be Joshua’s idol, now he has a different opinion. “He is very snotty and I don't want to have anything to do with him," added Joshua.

  • Nothing here yet.

CDD,

In my previous blog -- Carolina Welcomes Clay Home -- I wrote about GSO violinists who told me how impressed they were with Clay's professionalism, his rapport with the orchestra, how much fun they had with him at the rehearsal, and what a great guy he is. You were kind enough to link this blog.

Today I specifically turned on the local Fox news at noon to see what was up. Not one thing was mentioned. Of course, they are no doubt thrilled that the comments are stacking up in their blog area. The "news" team wrote the original post that is inspiring all the crazy comments and hits.

Lexington is a tiny town in an adjacent county. Whoever promised the teen a spot needs to come forward. The conductor couldn't even remember the boy's name in his introduction.

Meanwhile, I imagine Clay is being his normal titanium self when faced with adversity.

Thnx for all you do!

Caro
