Cary News - In an article called "Summer Stargazing", it says:
Elvis Costello, Clay Aiken, Harry Connick Jr., Wynonna Judd. These are just a few of the names on the schedule for the summer season at Koka Booth Amphitheatre in Regency Park....Friday, Aug. 10, 8:30 p.m. Clay Aiken performing with the Raleigh Symphony Orchestra. $32.50-55.
Atlanta Journal Constitution - In an article called American I-dull by Rodney Ho, he talks about the lack of excitement in this year's Idol and then talks about AI2 and its compelling showdown:
Season 2: Silky-smooth teddy bear Ruben Studdard (right) ultimately edged out geek-chic Clay Aiken. But the “Claymates” got the last laugh: Aiken has sold vastly more CDs than Studdard.
OC Register - Vote for Clay at the OC Register's article about their TOP 10 American Idol contestants. Clay's currently leading the way with 71% of the votes. The same article is up at the Dallas News.
Clay Aiken: He made an otherwise dull Season 2 interesting by briefly standing in the way of a seemingly unstoppable Ruben Studdard. Plus, he started the trend of the show's loser outperforming the winner in the real world.

The years are full of stories of talented performers that may never have gotten their break, had they not appeared on American Idol. The most noticeable is Clay Aiken. Ruben Studdard finished first that year and has gone on to a good career in music, but Clay moved on to a much more successful career.
The second season’s top three was stellar. No mistakes here – Kimberley Locke, Clay Aiken, and Ruben Studdard had all proven that they were Idol-worthy and ready to battle for the crown. Kimberley’s rendition of “Inseparable” will forever remain my favorite of all of her performances, and I still think she deserved to be in the finals. But it was not to be. Clay sang “Unchained Melody” that night, a song that has become an Aiken classic, and which certainly sealed his spot in the top two. Ruben was not as impressive this night, but the momentum he had been building was enough to edge him past Kimberley and into the finals. Kim’s elimination the next night was heartbreaking, especially since the vote totals were very, very close.

Occasio - This blog raises some interesting points Clay brought up in his recent Yahoo Music interview in which he talks about American Idol's "Idol Gives Back"...
Since we've been on the subject of "American Idol," check out this interview with Clay Aiken, an Idol success from the 2003 season. Clay has done a fair amount of humanitarian work for UNICEF and has been traveling to impoverished countries on their behalf. Check out a portion of the interview with the Yahoo Music service below and notice the stark difference between his approach and the celebs who visited Africa on the "Idol Gives Back" episode. While Carrie Underwood chose to shoot a music video surrounded by African children (is this on the edge of exploitation?), Clay says he won't sing his songs in Africa again. Clay Aiken gets it!!
