Poughkeepsie Journal's Sean McMann Blown Away by Clay

We've had some great tour coverage all last week from the Poughkeepsie Journal's Sean McMann. Sean was able to catch the last half of Clay's show last night in Poughkeepsie and had some great things to say about Clay.

All of Sean's Clay coverage is up at his blog, Sean's Space.

• Article 1 - "It's the day after Clay...":

  I was blown away by Clay Aiken's "Christmas in the Heartland" stop at the Mid-Hudson Civic Center in Poughkeepsie.
  
  Clay has the best voice of anyone I've ever seen in concert. And I mean it!
  
  Sure, it comes through on CDs, but to hear him live is a totally different experience. A microphone is all he needs; his voice is his own instrument. I swear, I heard him hit notes last night that I've never heard a male singer hit. It was truly amazing.
  
  I knew the guy could sing; but you can't appreciate how well he can sing until you hear it live in person.
  
  ... the best I've seen at the Civic Center in all of 2007.

• Article 2 - "How about that Clay Aiken???":

  In short, the hour I was there for was an amazing hour of music! In just that hour, I decided Clay has the best voice of anyone I've ever seen in concert. Barry Manilow is the greatest overall performer and showman I've ever seen (you remember my GF and I are seeing him Monday night, right?) and is the total package on stage, and Britney Spears is the most beautiful singer I've ever seen in person, but Clay has the most singing ability of anyone I've seen ... and I've seen a lot!

• ... don't forget, Sean is still looking to talk to people who went to the concert last night... give him a shout at journalsean@aol.com:

  So here's where I need some help: If you're heading to tonight's Poughkeepsie show, feel free to e-mail me at journalsean@aol.com after the concert and share your thoughts! Snap some pics of the concert? E-mail them, too! Just please include your first name and hometown in the body of your e-mail.
