Clay mention in the Sept 12-18 edition of TV GUIDE

The Star ‘Mangled’ Banner

I was surprised that Fantasia Barrino’s rendition of the National Anthem merited a Cheer (Cheers & Jeers, 8/18), considering she sang the words incorrectly. Is it too much to ask that our American Idol know the words and sing it with a modicum of reverence? Let Clay Aiken sing it next time.
