Raleigh News & Observer - N.C. Theater producer William Jones wants to see Clay & AI6 standout Lakisha Jones (the two Jones have no relationship with each other) to star together in a play...Jones has also been hot on the trail of Raleigh's "Idol" runner-up, Clay Aiken, who played small roles at N.C. Theatre before his "Idol" stardom.
Aiken would be a perfect Huckleberry Finn in "Big River," says Jones, who won't stage it until he can get Aiken.
Why Huck?
Well, first, it's a starring role, which Aiken's stature demands, Jones says. The vocal range is suitable, too. But mostly, it's a personality thing.

He doesn't see black, he doesn't see white. ... He just sees the world as it is. I think Clay could portray that very well."

- USA Today -why bad singers often remain on AI for far too long...
The sophomore season was less offensive to vocal purists. Ruben Studdard and Clay Aiken, both good singers, dominated, and finalists such as Trenyce, Rickey Smith and Corey Clark were irritating because of personality traits rather than vocal deficiencies. Still, Kimberly Caldwell (7th) was the year's Ryan Starr — all attitude, no voice, perfect qualifications for her subsequent career as a TV Guide Channel host.
