Tidbits 6/22

  • Interesting Clay mention by a DJ on a radio station in Nebraska, reports the CB's NEClayfan1:
    A radio DJ here in Nebraska was talking on the air this a.m. about how gung-ho the Clay fans are. I about died laughing when he said "Those professional Claymates are a dedicated bunch!" Now what distinguishes a "professional" Claymate from a "non-professional"? Well, it can be pretty time consuming being a fan. LOL.
  • More mentions of "Idol: The Musical" a musical satire of Clay's fans playing in NYC next month:
    • Raleigh News & Observer -
      When "Idol: The Musical" hits the stage in New York next month, Clay Aiken won't be there in person. But there will be a bust of Raleigh's hometown "American Idol" star onstage, and someone singing "Burnin' Hunk o' Clay" to it.

      Yes, Aiken is coming to the theatrical stage, but only as inspiration. "Idol: The Musical" is billed as a musical farce about a "delusional group of 'Idol' fans in search of fame." It begins previews at New York's off-Broadway 45th Street Theatre on July 5.

      Aiken himself is not involved with the project. Janice Riley, his personal assistant in Raleigh, declined to comment.

      And how did the hard-core Claymates react?

      "The audience loved the show. It's universal, an everyman story," said Ellis. "Everyone wants something better than what they have, to be discovered."
    • Playbill -
      Complete casting has been announced for Idol: The Musical, which is "based on the worship of Clay Aiken," one of the finalists on the second season of the hit reality TV series.
    • Post Chronicle -
      American Idol star Clay Aiken's fans have inspired a new Broadway musical. The 'Claymates' will be the focus of a new stageshow, called Idol: The Musical.

      The project is described as "a satirical musical comedy that focuses on the outrageous and delusional fan base of American Idol".
  • Morris County Daily Record - Ruben Studdard, Taylor Hicks outsold by their runner-ups:
    That explains why past "Idol" winners disappeared after their crowning. Whatever happened to Ruben Studdard? Does anyone even remember Taylor Hicks? The two "winners" were outsold by the "losers" of their seasons, Clay Aiken and Daughtry, respectively.
  • Wall Street Journal has some new tour and CD sales stats for American Idol alum. Kelly Clarkson is now first in both tour revenue and CD sales with Clay a close second in tour revenue.
    Name AMERICAN IDOL SEASON GROSS TICKET SALES* U.S. ALBUM SALES (UNITS)
    Kelly Clarkson 1 (2002) $35 million 8.4 million
    Clay Aiken 2 (2003) $28 million 4.7 million
