LBFCA - remembering the Clay nation's best moments - "The Sport of Team Clay"...- Associated Content - top ten guilty pleasures:
1. Clay Aiken: This is the guilty pleasure that causes most people to make fun of me, but I can't deny that I have an unnatural attachment to Clay Aiken. I voted for him every week when he was on American Idol and even taped his appearances, so I could watch them again. I was so intent on Clay winning that on the night of the last episode where viewers were able to vote, I remember going to my favorite bar, sitting in the dark, frantically text messaging votes in for Clay! A few months later, Clay had a concert in Charleston; I paid $60 for a ticket (it's not as bad as it sounds; $14 of that was Ticketmaster charges) and ended up with a seat a few rows from the stage; I probably shouldn't admit this, but I screamed like a ten-year-old girl when he came out on stage and sang along with every word...and I'd do it again if I had the chance!
- New Orleans' Time Picayune - American Idol mention ...
Last week's premiere drew an average of more than 37 million viewers, the show's second-largest audience ever, eclipsed only by the 2003 sing-off between Clay Aiken and Ruben Studdard.
- Press release from My School Rocks, a kids-orientated magazine that featured Clay on its cover in March 2006. -- "Past covers have included NASCAR star Jeff Gordon, Chelsea Cooley Miss USA 2005, American Idol runner-up Clay Aiken, baseball legend Cal Ripken and tennis champions Venus and Serena Williams."
- University of South Carolina Daily Gamecock - AI article -
There have been other winners and runners-up on the program, such as Clay Aiken, Ruben Studdard and Carrie Underwood but none have seen the same success Clarkson experiences to this day. Most of the albums the winners have released have seen mixed reviews but have had promising sales.
- Ventura County Star - repeat of the Billboard article "catching up" with the idols that appeared last week.
- Random Clay mentions: Common Dreams (politics), New York Daily News (NFL player "makes Nick Lachey look like Clay Aiken"), USA Today Idol blog (AI6 recap)
- Carolina On My Mind - Clay Aiken and Jimmy Kimmel to 'reunite'.
- Sticks on Fire (non-Clay blog) - American Idol blog, nice Clay mention:
Simon told one contestant (the “bush baby” guy) ”you don’t look like an American Idol.” I can only assume he’s referring to the traditional Hollywood good looks of AI winners Fantasia Barrino and Ruben Studdard or runner-up Clay Aiken.
