Tidbits 8/10

  • Tour mentions:
    • Raleigh News & Observer - Clay coming home to perform -
      "American Idol" homeboy Clay Aiken sings with orchestral accompaniment at Cary's Koka Booth Amphitheatre.
    • Asheville Citizen Times - Aiken ready to put on sold out show at Biltmore Estates -
      Now Carolina-born Clay Aiken hits town for a Saturday night concert at Biltmore Estate. And it’s going to the biggest local “Idol” show yet, at least in turnout, with 3,000 fans in the house.

      With Aiken backed by members of the Asheville Symphony Orchestra, it sounds like the makings for a night of smooth music.

      Tickets: Forget about it. Most were sold long ago, and it’s unlikely any will remain at the box office this weekend.
    • Fayetteville Observer - "Say Hey to Clay: 'Idol' star comes home to sing" -
      Members of the “Clay Nation” can finally exhale. Former “American Idol” finalist and pop superstar Clay Aiken is coming back to his hometown tonight.

      Aiken, who was born in Raleigh, will perform with the Raleigh Symphony Orchestra at the Koka Booth Amphitheatre in Cary at 8:30 p.m. Gates open at 7.

      The performance is part of a 23-city tour across the nation, which began July 4 and will end Aug. 19. For each performance, Aiken is taking the stage with the backing of a local symphony.
    • The Daily Reflector - Cary/Raleigh concert listing
  • The Californian - article about AI auditions, now underway for season 7... not exactly sure if "infamous" in this case is a good thing, or a bad thing -
    The hit FOX TV show is entering its seventh season. It's already launched strong careers for winners Kelly Clarkson and Carrie Underwood and made contestants such as Clay Aiken and Sanjaya Malakar infamous.
  • Concord Monitor - interview with New Hampshire Idol winner... he has some great taste in music! -
    Q: How did you choose what songs to sing?
    A: For me, they're songs that move me, songs that are powerful. . . . Some of my favorites are Josh Groban, and, as cheesy as it may sound, Clay Aiken has got a very large voice. . . . I do sort of inspirational music. I hesitate to call it Christian music because it kind of has a bad rap.

  • Daily Camera - mention of the now infamous "plane incident" -
    The incident came only days after former "American Idol" finalist Clay Aiken fell asleep on a Continental flight, his foot landing on the armrest of the passenger in front of him. The singer claims he was awakened by a quick hit to the chest by the annoyed passenger, prompting an argument and a call to the FBI, though no charges were filed.
  • Salon - another mention of Clay's "plane incident" ... but how could you have "never heard" of Clay Aiken??? -
    Speaking of airport security, passengers were detained last month aboard a Continental Express flight after a brief altercation broke out involving "American Idol" star Clay Aiken. (I'd never heard of Aiken before, but the story made quick headlines thanks to the pop-culture tinderbox that is the American media.) I received a letter from a man who'd been on the plane. "After landing, we were forced to remain on board for more than 30 minutes, without being told why," he writes. "Most of us weren't aware that anything had happened. Then, federal agents came onto the plane and interviewed people sitting near the 'altercation' site before 'releasing' us. At one point the flight attendant said, 'This is 2007, and you need to watch what you say on a plane.'" That really gets me. Apparently it's the travelers' job to keep their mouths shut, when it ought to be the authorities' job not to overreact.
  • The Smoking Gun - (the answer is Kanye West)
    Guess The Metrosexual Musician
    Who likes Neutrogena (and other people buying his underpants)?
