Tidbits 3/7

• Clay is mentioned in an American Idol section in this week's People Magazine, reports the CB's JesBen:

  This week's PEOPLE magazine with Drew Barrymore on the cover. In the "Scoop" section, they have a small article on David Archuleta. They say - "he's talented, he's relatable and he's fan-club ready - First came Clay Aiken's Claymates, then Taylor Hicks' Soul Patrol. Archuleta's groupie moniker? The Arch Angels.".
  

• Hollister Free Lance - defining an American Idol "loser" -

  Loser: Which actually doesn't always mean you're
  
  a loser. Just ask Season 2 runner-up Clay Aiken,
  
  not to mention contestant Chris Daughtry -
  
  both have enjoyed mega album sales.
  

• National Ledger - American Idol contestant David Archuleta -

  And People Magazine notes that he already has a fan club at the ready. First came Clay Aiken’s Claymates, then Taylor Hick’s Soul Patrol. Archuleta’s groupie moniker? The Arch Angels. It certainly seems like David Archuleta has more talent than Taylor and Clay and certainly more than David Hernandez.

• Los Angeles Times - American Idol commentary -

  The numerical scores for each contestant are of course subjective. However, coming from very different perspectives (Shiraki is a Clay Aiken loyalist, I carry the banner of Katherine McPhee) we attempted to reach consensus numbers between us.

• am New York - things to do in town -

  Theater: I don't mean Broadway; who wants to spend $200 to watch Clay Aiken rehash Monty Python? But there are hundreds of black-box theaters downtown offering unusual, potentially mind-blowing fare. Do a little research, and you could end up having a night out like no other.

• There Was A Man - Claymates push new CD to #1 on Amazon.com -

  May 6th seems more and more definite as the release date now that the CD is for pre-sale at Amazon.com. It's already at #1 for new release rank which is an indication of how eager fans are for the new CD of original Clay Aiken music. Now if only there were a nice press release or official word from RCA or a song released to radio. I don't have much faith in their competence since they and the whole record industry is in such a turmoil, but it is what it is.
