Clay's Daily Double: Tidbits 2/22

Oregon Daily Emerald - "Invisible" a 'creepy' song?
I made a remark about Clay Aiken's song lyrics being creepy. Do I really have to defend that assumption? OK, I realize believing a song that reads "If I was invisible, then I could just watch you in your room," is creepy totally depends on your perspective.
The Whit Online - AI article ... "Clay Aiken, runner-up to Ruben Studdard from season two, still towers over Studdard with the release of his third pop album, "A Thousand Different Ways." In September 2006, the album debuted at number two and has gold record status."
Bogus Gold - another article showcasing the success of AI runner-ups: "Clay Aiken didn't win in Season Two and he's the one consistently making the most money on tour. "
Press Enterprise - a bit of American Idol history:
2003: Ruben Studdard and Clay Aiken will likely forever be linked because of their performances in season two. Although Studdard won, Aiken has had a more successful post-'Idol' career. When Studdard's first single, "Flying Without Wings," debuted at No. 2, he was outdone by Aiken's chart-topping "This Is the Night." Studdard's debut album, "Soulful," went platinum, selling more than 1.8 million copies. His latest album, "The Return," has not come close to that success.
