Every so often we are blessed to have author extraordinaire, CorieluvzClay, write one of her wonderful essays for CDD. After watching Clay last night on Jimmy Kimmel Live, she was moved to write another one that I hope will touch you as it did me.
We have so many talented Clay fans among us. So may I present to you a beautiful essay from one of them, CorieluvzClay:
RETURN OF THE PRINCE OF THIEVES!
After the AI5 Finale I wrote an essay entitled “ America ’s Own… Prince of Thieves”…in one section I wrote…” Once upon a time he was my Pied Piper, he is now my Robin Hood, The Prince of Thieves…for within those two + minutes Clay managed to steal the stage, the show and the hearts of not only the audience on hand, but of millions of people around the world…two hundred million viewers world wide saw for the first time possibly, what we fans have seen and known from day one. But Clay wasn’t finished with his thieving, for he stole whatever pieces of our hearts remained after the first ravaging three years ago and every assault upon our hearts since that time. Clay leaves his fans in a most delicious state of emotional disarray and chaos!! AND make no mistake we happily, adoringly keep coming back for more!!”
The Prince of Thieves returned last night on the Jimmy Kimmel Valentine Special…he was an explosion of light and laughter!! Within a split nano-second…my breath caught in my throat, the blood pumped, the heart thudded and I fell in love all over and over and over again with the same man who has already stolen my heart a thousand times in a thousand different ways before. Clay Aiken graced the Kimmel stage with a shorter hair style that framed his gorgeous face perfectly…his spirit was soaring, his heart was dancing and his gorgeous jades gleamed with a breathtaking light just shining through…and he never looked so delicious after a *53 day break…as he did on Valentine’s night 2007!!
Clay is never boring and is always full of surprises to say the least. We never know what to expect except to expect the unexpected!!! AND the man did not disappoint…his hair was cut much shorter then he wore it throughout the Christmas concert series. It was a yummy combination of the Tyra look with a Kennyesque overture, he was fit & trim and the bright look of “white” started with beautifully newly veneered teeth to the obvious new trainers on his feet…in between was a Kimmel tee-shirt, a tan blazer and dark jeans, that for this writer, could have been a bit tighter, hugging the seemingly new curvaceous and quite adorable derriere! BUT…make no mistake; I will take whatever I can get whenever I can get it because seeing Clay is more important then food, water and air!! Y’all know what I’m talking about!!
I’m happiest for Clay when he is happy with himself…last night he was filled with so much confidence and although he didn’t want to make a big deal out of his teeth, he was absolutely adorable talking about the new change and making those precious faces as only he can!! He was clearly pleased, tickled and very happy about the choice he made to fix the teeth that he was obviously unhappy with.
Clay’s looks fall into so many categories…the Adorkable is definitely alive and well…and thank God…he’s precious and I never want him to go away. Had he left when Mr. Stunning came along then we would not have had the little mis-step Clay had last night on stage!! Over the course of the last several months…Messieurs Stunning and Drop-Dead Gorgeous have emerged with and without stubble dressed to the nines in beautifully tailored suits, silk ties, classy shirts, French cuffs, boots, mis-matched striped socks, 
and quite long hair as well as the Beatlesque do that made a grandstand appearance on AI5 and on to the Kimmel Show, Martha, Insider, GMA, The View, etc. dressed in casual jackets, jeans, boots, great looking shirts and loosened ties…all in addition to a look that many of us still can’t get over and that’s the look of the rock ‘n roll era sporting a Black Leather Jacket, Black Pants of Perfection, Blue not-Suede Shoes and shorter hair. These varied looks checked-in with and without glasses depending on Clay’s needs at the time…speaking of glasses, let’s not forget the Preppy Professor look and I would give anything…ANYTHING…to be under his tutelage…I mean to be taught by Clay.
Last night’s show was so wonderful and way too short for Clay’s fans. I love the easy camaraderie that has grown between Jimmy and Clay...they really play off of each others jokes quite well and their little preordained skits are just too funny. Last night’s “Valentine Song” was just brilliantly played out and kudos to whoever came up with this bright idea!!! 
I kept looking at that little table with the bowl of candies and just knew there would be something going on with it but never figured on the calculated interlude that took place. Clay making up a song as he went along by reading pre-stamped words of love on pieces of valentine heart candies was just hilarious and Clay pulled it off masterfully!!! If he doesn’t get his own TV show I’m going to have a coronary…he wants one, he deserves one, we need to see him every day and the world would be so much richer and fuller for having him in homes around the globe. Ok, ok…at least here in the States to begin with. My Lord…the guy was literally created and born to perform!! Clay’s got it all…the “It Factor” the “X” Factor, the comedic flair, the angelic voice, the intelligence, the personality, he’s a gentleman AND it’s all one hundred percent REAL!!!!
Suffice it to say that I simply cannot wait to see Clay on The Morning Show with Mike and Juliet, they seem so nice and I’m sure will make Clay feel very welcomed and very much at ease. No KR crap to be sure!!!
In a couple of months Clay will be traveling again with UNICEF to a third world country where he will once again learn, discover, help, work and hold a little life in his amazing hands. Hands that will sooth and make secure…hands that I am sure will clutch his own love-filled heart, at night, in the quiet times when he is reflecting over the day’s enlightenment…hands that will most assuredly wipe away the tears of his eye’s discoveries…the unveiling of daily strife in yet another land with another people in desperate need.
And then…Clay, our sweet man, will come home to us...changed yet again, a little bit older and so much wiser then when he left. And when he’s ready, when the time is right, Clay will have a Love filled Concert Series where the give and take between fans, no, “family” and “our loved one” will be a healing of sorts for us all.
Godspeed Clay, may He keep you ever safe within the Palms of His Hands…Always & Forever!!

* The reference to 53 days without Clay 12/23-2/14…I just cannot count the Diane Sawyer attempt at a UNICEF interview, sorry, but she really did not do justice to the man or the cause!!!
