Clay Aiken's "A Thousand Different Ways"

Some of our bloggers wanted something a little upbeat and more celebratory. I think I found it and I borrowed it. This was taken from the Liner Notes of the new CD. It's a message to US from Clay. How is it possible to love this man more and more everyday?

***

"To My Fans: It's fitting that this album is all about love and the different ways it can be expressed. After so many opportunities I have had to be on the receiving end of such abundant love and support from you all, I am so thankful for the opportunity to try to give something that can express my gratitude and love for you. This album is yours in A Thousand Different Ways."

My Liner Note to Clay: EVERYTHING WE DO, WE DO IT FOR YOU!

Sometimes, with any artist/musician/colleague/friend that I admire for the awesome, talented people that they are, sometimes I only hope that they truly do know how inspiring and wonderful they really are to me and others who feel like me towards them. With Clay, I honestly do believe that he knows and feels just how much we all love, support and admire him, and will continue to do so. He's an inspiration to many, and even besides his stupendous talent, he's also just a genuinely beautiful person, inside and out. Clay Aiken, thank YOU for being who you are!

Album Review 2006

A Thousand Different Ways - Clay Aiken

Genre: Covers/Pop/Classical

Review By: Tony



Album Specs:


1. Right Here Waiting 8. Everything I Do (I Do It For You)
2. Lonely No More 9. Because You Loved Me
3. Without You 10. I Want To Know What Love Is
4. Every Time You Go Away 11. These Open Arms
5. Sorry Seems To Be The Hardest Word 12. Here You Come Again
6. When I See You Smile 13. Everything I Have
7. A Thousand Days 14. Broken Wings





Track By Track Breakdown (New Original Tracks Only):

2. Lonely No More - The first new original track from Clay to appear on this album. While it starts off a bit slow and soft the song does pick up quickly. An extremely well crafted track and why shouldn't it be after all it was written by 4 people which is something you don't see a lot of these days. A straight forward song that is backed by acoustic guitars, though to some will be hard to pick out but they are there. In true Clay form he doesn't over power the soft mood being portrayed. His vocals have changed, but for the better. To me he sounds a bit more involved in the song then previous works. While not the best song he's done, it is certainly one of his finest.



3. Without You - Another soft ballad type track from Clay. There's a theme to this point as far as new songs go, their slower and show the true heart and emotional strength that Clay has. There's a hint of pop here but overshadowing that is the use of orchestra instruments backing Aiken all the way. This is also the first track where you can hear Clay's full vocal range. As soon as he hits the high notes there's no question that this kid has the vocal range to reach heaven and beyond. The only thing I didn't care for was the ending of the song, the use of a fade wasn't needed.



7. A Thousand Days - Now I was shocked when I heard this version as the first time I heard this song it wasn't this polished. All the additions from the smoother transitional areas to the addition of violins and other orchestra instruments have allowed this song to grow. If you've heard the radio version of this song get ready for a shock because it's completely different and much more laid back which fits the overall design of this album. There's no doubt in my mind that this is one of, if not the finest song Clay has recorded in his already amazing career.



11. These Open Arms - Is this a new Clay song? No it's not, this is a cover of a Bon Jovi song though some may not know. I read many websites & press releases that are claiming this is a brand new original song. Their information is incorrect, this is a cover but done very well. Clay makes this song his own by really slowing the song down. Not at all like the original version and that's a great thing. It seems that Bon Jovi is allowing some of his material to be redone by American Idol contestants. Clay isn't the first to cover a Jovi song, Bo Bice covered Jovi on his debut album as well. I wanted to mention this song here because others have had misinformation about it's origin.



13. Everything I Have - I got a sense that this song was a lost Chicago/Peter Cetera song. Everything seemed as if it was a cover tune but in fact it's a newly penned Clay original. Major piano movements throughout the song really drawing the listener in was a plus. Aiken's vocal range here doesn't really open up as much as I would have liked but he holds true to the overall style and emotional sense that pours out from the song making his performance unforgettable.



The Rundown:

Clay's back with 10 covers and 4 new songs but will fans go for a covers disc?



+'s (Positives):

+ New Material: Though there's only 4 new songs Clay didn't hold anything back. Not only are the 4 songs exceptional work but the cover material was elegantly done.



+ A+ Vocals: Clay sounds better then ever. Many will just assume he sounds the same but to me he's grown to the musician he wanted to be.



-'s (Negatives):

- Not Enough Original Material: Not exactly a bad thing here but it would have been nice to hear at least 1 more original pop type track to round things out.



Overall:

Where do I begin here? I suppose I should start with the cover songs. If you want to make a great covers album the songs you cover have to be changed, it's that simple. If you just cover the song in the same vain as the original version then what was the reason for releasing your disc? Clay has done a brilliant job not only covering some very difficult songs but also making them his own. That is another thing that is hard to pull off though Clay has managed to do it. Every song covered (Minus The Bon Jovi Track) was popular at one point in time yet Clay not only does the original version justice but truly enhances the original vibes which made the songs popular in the first place. Here's an example of what I'm talking about. In my initial reaction I mentioned that the best reinvented track was "Because You Loved Me." I still believe that's the best reinvented track on the disc because he left the original vibe in tact but he changed the overall rhythm of the song allowing the material to breathe new life. There's really nothing more I can say about the cover tracks, basically as a listener you have to decide weather or not he managed to capture you through these songs. Personally I find these songs to be a real breath of fresh air because there's been a ton of cover discs that have been released in the past 2 years and frankly there's only been 2 or 3 that have really been done well. This album is in fact one of the better cover discs because of how Clay was able to reinvent the original songs.



Now to focus on what people really want to know about. How are the original songs? Honestly there was only 1 issue and that was on 1 song. The use of a fade at the end of the track was simply not needed why do I say that? Let me put it this way, when you go to a concert do the artists use fades at the end of their songs? I didn't think so. While I understand the use of a fade on a studio release, it just wasn't needed here. It's obvious Clay is going to sing these new songs live and frankly it should have had a real ending rather then the fade. Are the new songs any good? I'll go one better, these songs are going to set the tone as to how Clay's career goes. I firmly believe that if he sticks with this soft blend of material and intertwines a few pop tracks he'll be one of the most successful singers in music history. There are very few mainstream musicians that capture me the way Clay does. He's a musician that when there's word of new material on the way people go crazy, that's a good thing. With songs like Without You & A Thousand Days Clay has opened the door to greatness. Some might be put off by this album's soft tones and if that's the case your not following what Clay is trying to accomplish. This disc is all about not only reliving the past but reviving it. Clay has set a course toward the future and with time I think fans of all genres will notice this release for it's original material as well as the reinvented cover tunes.



This is a career setting album for Clay but not his best, as his best is still to come. You could hear throughout this release how completely in love he is with the classic material and as a listener it's nice to hear an artist actually appreciate the material being put forth.



Hopefully with the right push from his label and fans this disc will see success not only in sales but in terms of overall play. I am hoping some of these songs show up on Movie/TV soundtracks.



The only thing missing was 1 more original song. I say that because I'm sure some fans were looking for a full pop album from Clay. There are hints of pop throughout the disc on the cover tracks that should keep those fans happy but I do see the point as some are looking for something that was a bit more familiar.



Overall this is a brilliantly done album that one can sit back, listen to and just drift away. Clay is much more then just some kid from a realty show, he's a musician in every sense of the word. The best is still to come and what is scary is that this disc is so good how can he possibly top it?


A Thousand Different Ways (New Original Songs) receives a 3.95/4

A Thousand Different Ways (Release Overall) receives a 4.95/5



My Initial Reaction (Posted September 2nd, 2006):

I was privileged to listen to Clay's album today and I have to say he's got a winner on his hands. I was a bit put off by the idea of another covers album but he's pulled it off nicely. A classic track such as Bryan Adams "Everything I Do" which I felt couldn't be redone properly is completely retooled and sounds amazing. I'd say the best reinvented track has to be the Celine Dion song "Because You Loved Me." I didn't care for the original version but Clay sped up the song and added his own flavor to it making it his own. Now when I first heard about this disc the one song that stood out to me was the Bad English song "When I See You Smile." I read some pretty harsh comments from some fans that in a nutshell said that Clay couldn't pull off this classic track. While it's not quite was redone as other songs, Clay's vocals fit perfectly and with a violin backing really allows the song to breath a bit more. To me Clay pulled this track off with no issues at all.



Final Rating For "Clay Aiken - A Thousand Different Ways":

0.95 Points = Transitions / Order
1 Point = Fun Factor
1 Point = Instruments / Vocal Sound
1 Point = Writing / Lyrics
1 Point = Overall Design / Feel


Overall Total: 4.95/5






Favorite Songs: Right Here Waiting, Lonely No More, Without You, When I See You Smile, A Thousand Days, Everything I Do (I Do It For You), Because You Loved Me, I Want To Know What Love Is, These Open Arms, Broken Wings

I was thinking about something this morning after watching the Star Search and Gala videos, again!

It wasn't so long ago (a week or so), we were wanting to hear the "hair talk". I admit, I couldn't fathom that. But now, it's just Clay and it's no big deal. Clay is Clay and I love him so!

I cannot wait to put my hands on that CD!

Anonymous said...

Do we know who Shipwreck Island Studios are? I've never heard of them, but I love the review. It doesn't get much better than that! But the bad ones are coming; expect it and prepare. Praise the positive and ignore the negative.

I have to tell you when I first read Clay's message to his fans late last night, I burst into tears. Forget the People article or the Primetime interview for "clarification." Who needs it? Clay has not betrayed his fans. He wouldn't do that...he just wouldn't. He is incapable of the evil of deception and his message is totally consistent with the scripture verse from Jan. 17th and the "Thank you" of Jan. 23rd.

When I first signed onto the Internet 3 yrs. ago, I placed a quote under my avvy, which reads: My life is an opened book. There's nothing I hide...I'm just not secretive." - CA I believe the songs on the new CD in some respects were chosen for their lyrics...subtle messages to his fans. ATD, for example. How long have we known Clay?

"In my world
You're the sun that shines and lights the evening sky,
Clearing up the horizon.
Hold on.
Come with me and I will never let you down,

Oh, and in this love we'll drown --this I promise you,
'Cause they can't hold us down.


and...

"I would do anything -- just believe it.
Your love means everything and I need it.
Your heart won't lie.
[Neither would Clay's]
Reach out for mine."

And of course there are other examples, but this is enough.

Next week will be very important. According to the Washington Post article from yesterday, the first week sales determine how "healthy" your fan base is and I plan on stretching a little bit.

Thanks for putting up with me over the past months. I love you guys and I love Clay! Go Clay!!

Someone who has seen the liner notes says just before the listing for "When I See You Smile" he has "for Kristi".....hmmmmmmm.
I've met Kristi 4 times and she is an incredibly bright, nice young woman and has been there for him since way before AI.
She used to be married to a hockey player (back when she was Kristi Hall) but now she's taken her maiden name of Barnes back.

Of course, the haters' reviews will come, and coincidentally (or not), they'll just happen to be Kelly fans who feel there's only room in the industry for one of them.

I'm sorry now that Tamyra didn't win. I think her fans might have had more class.

Miles cannot separate us from the man we love. Although face-to-face communication is few and far between, his heart still finds ways to speak to us.

Clay is someone we turn to

Clay is someone we treasure

Clay is someone who fills our lives
with beauty, joy, and grace.

And makes the whole world we live in
a better and happier place.

I doubt if Clay will mention any names related to frog faced pickles. I think the final straw for him is the pissant author who thought she could make a buck off his name. I think he's mad enough to hit back.

Just for the record - I heard way back when - that Clay stayed friends with a couple of the guys from the original 20 of his AI season.

One of them did live in Burbank. I don't think its any big deal that he has guy friends in LA.

Oh Crap said...

It was no big deal until the last 9 months. New hair dresser, new stylist...perhaps he's distancing himself from the gay community after seeing what they are capable of.

My, my. Buttee was awfully anxious to comment on his new address thinking I would expose his name. No no no no no! When and IF that happens, we will refer to you as the Purple Gherkin and we'll tell why, then YOU can run around yelling..."I'm the Purple Gherkin, I am!

Karma, Asshole.

Did ya notice - in JP's blog about Clay's "LA Boyfriend", he has a picture of the guy. Cute looking guy - he's hugging some girl, you can see her shoulder and ear with an earring - definately a girl. Of course she was cropped from the picture so you see him.

Dumb shit wasn't smart enough to find some guy's picture where he was not hugging on a girl.

Wouldn't it be great if these guys found out that Dumbass was using their photos and sued him?

Jonahcruise. It means jon on a cruise. He doesn't mean he's cruising the Bahamas either. Dumbass is cruising the internet and then transferring his own behavior onto Clay.

Just my opinion, but I think this jerk posting pictures of guys and claiming they are gay BF's of Clay is an effort to isolate Clay from his friends. Young straight guys don't want to be labeled gay. I have wondered if that was the reason Nick is no longer with Clay. I know they are still friends, but I wonder if Nick couldn't take the insinuations.

I know Kelly and Nick are friends, but I'm not so sure he was on tour with her. Nick WAS definitely at Clay's Christmas concert in Raleigh. I saw him with my own eyes. Nick was working the crowd.

It was on the CB a long time ago that Nick was definitely on tour with Kelly and he was also in the Bahamas with her during Easter Weekend.

OhC, don't believe everything you read.

Nick was on vacation with Kelly but not on her tour.

It isn't just the swampdwellers who make stuff up.

Some of it happens because one person posts some speculation, someone else reads it and takes it as fact and others just run with it. Sort of like the sloppy journalism we've all come to hate. When people don't fact check, you get mis-information.

Like Clay, I tend to get a bit snarky at times. :)

I thoroughly expect Clay to give the smackdown on the gay rumors and when he does then JP is a dead issue worldwide. I doubt he will mention or let anyone mention JP's name because that's what the little froggie wants. He thinks it will give him some sort of fame forever but nobody will believe him ever again or pay attention to him.

The usual thorns in our side will keep at it...well when I'm done exposing them maybe they won't. Who knows?

John Paulus said...

If you think that Clay is going to denounce the gay rumors then you need to prepare yourself to be disappointed. While I do not expect him to mention me by name and do expect him to be honest- a welcomed change. Don't worry I won't gloat. I'm not evil like that. I will just be very happy for Clay for being who God has meant him to be. A proud gay giving man.

That is to tell you that neither YOU, the gay OPS, nor anyone else has a right to play God and force ANYONE to do what a group of evil, vile, cruel, disgusting excuses for human beings WANT just because YOU need validation. IT ISN'T FUCKING UP TO YOU to determine what course someone else's life takes.

I'm plenty angry because UNTIL YOU, I was accepting, inclusive, understanding, sympathetic to your causes and causes of others... I was one of the ones fighting for your rights which have been afforded to me or ANYBODY else who earned them by virtue of being alive.

YOU have single handedly changed my mind forever. I now know there are people on this Earth who, by virtue of pure EVIL, don't deserve to breathe. May you and your helpers burn on earth and in hell for the rest of your miserable existance.

As if PaulAss has Clay's best interests at heart. He wants Clay to be a proud gay giving man while he's spent 9 months trying to not only destroy his career, but his life. He can go f*ck himself, because anyone else would have to be f*ckin' nuts to go near him. Of course, Clay won't mention him; he knows that. Clay would never give him the satisfaction, because that's just what this bastard wants. PaulAss doesn't care how the public views him as he has no self-respect. He just cares that the public knows he exists. Anyone with any amount of self-respect would not be parading around the internet showing off their ass and dick. Shy, my ass.

Clay isn't coming out. He was never in to be outed. I know where he was that night and so do others. PaulAss is giving himself a Plan B just in case he doesn't like what he hears, so that he can say he knew it all along. He's full of excuses for his behavior and he changes his older blogs to match up with his latest bullshit story. Don't worry, dank ass. We've got ALL your old blogs, verbatim.

But he's right about one thing - I doubt Clay will mention his name, why should he, Paulus is nothing to Clay but a nasty gnat - not worth a mention which is something Asswipe would love.

But Paulus was wrong in saying he isn't evil - he's very evil, the most vile person ever. One day he will regret all of this mess - I hope he does it while behind bars.

Oh Crap - thank you! You know, I used to be in the gay corner myself, but have done a complete reversal. Through Pickle, we got to know other gays and I was shocked.

Oh, and Pickle talking about God also gives Christians a bad name. What a hypocritical Christian he is. Truth is, he isn't one but uses that to gain sympathy. Didn't work on this old broad.

I want Clay to 'figuratively kick' the shit of PaulAss

Anonymous said...

Stalker boy Paulus says Clay won't deny the charges, because he can't. What he means is not that Clay is guilty, although stalker boy wants you to think that, but that Clay can't afford the media onslaught over this on the eve of his CD release. He's counting on that to keep this smear campaign going.

Stalker boy wants everyone to think he's doing this for Clay's own good, but he's got something nasty ready to roll. Do you think his employers would be happy about what he's doing? I think not. That's why he threatens people with entrapment (which is illegal) if they try to inform them; he only told them about his naked pictures and his porn career, not that he was harassing a celebrity. He can't tell them that; what real estate company would entrust a creep like him with their clients' personal info? He can't take that chance. He probably even bragged about how he really wasn't in to porn anymore, you know, to save face. Can't tell them he has a floppy dick and got canned.

Clay has proof and witnesses for where he was that night. That's why stalker boy won't sue Clay. He doesn't know what Clay has. That's why he's playing both sides against the middle right now, trying to act like this is for Clay's own good, while behind the scenes he's going to pull another rabbit out of his ass.

My opinion is that Clay has created a beautiful masterpiece with "A Thousand Different Ways". Some of those songs play over and over in my head long after I've turned the music off.

Releasing a CD should be a joyous occasion after all the hard work. Instead, Clay is having to deal with the past 9 months of hell. I hate all the pickles involved in this smear campaign and will never forgive them this injustice.

I'm sure it will all be turned to a positive and will be joyous, but I hate like hell that this has happened.

As for me, I want revenge for Buddy, not just to silence him.

Oh Crap said...

That CD is a work of art, isn't it. Broken Wings, Lonely No More and Here You Come Again are the preview songs I keep going back to. I love all the others but these are special in my opinion. They are Clay.

Buddy's blog considers only their demographics. Them, them, them.

Clay has to consider ALL of his audience, many of whom know nothing about this. Watching will be his 2 Grandmas and Grandpa, Gregory from JNT2, many of the children who performed with him on the Christmas tour from city to city, his brothers and a sister, aunts, uncles, teenagers, some of his kids from the Y, most of the hometown people, many people in the business, and probably the President of the United States or at least some of the people on his committee, to say nothing of those who this will be their first introduction to Clay.

It isn't in prime time but, in the age of Tivo, that doesn't really matter much anymore.

They act like it is only the 12,000 internet fans who are affected. Clay has much more to consider.

And, if it was somehow leaked to Buddy that Clay got depressed, I would imagine he might mention that in passing to show how much he has been affected, not just by Buddy, but there have been other hate groups and over-zealous fans who have caused problems.

At any rate, as I stated above, Clay in this interview has much more to consider than pickle and his minions such as Clarus who have one agenda only. I'm sure Clay and Diane will be sensitive to the younger audience, at least I hope so.

I get teary-eyed just thinking of how well he handles everything, and at such a young age. He blesses me.

Anonymous said...

I've been curious for some time at the large number of posts on the idiot's blog. Had some time on my hands a little while back and counted them up. At that time there were 151 posts on his last blog. My count is as follows:

JP - 19 posts

Go John & Clay - 5 posts

Idiots - 56 posts. Many of these were I'm sure from kids who just liked using dirty words. A few from the haters. Most just idiots veering off on different subjects.

Clay Fans - 71 posts. Most trying to argue with previous posts.

So of those 151 posts, almost half are from Clay Fans. How sweet it would be if they all just sat on their damn fingers and stayed the hell out of there! They're not going to change anyone's minds over there - they just keep stirring the shit and help to keep it going. I firmly believe the damn blog would dry up and go away if the fans would stay out!

Oh Crap said...

Correction: They all play both sides. It's usually JP talking to himself pretending to be 20 different people, then add Groucho's 20 and I'm sure Shannon's and Emach's 30 and that leaves you with 1 fan.... maybe.

I won't forgive them - why should I?

I'm not going to hold on to hate for them and let it eat me up - but forgive them? Not in this lifetime.

No matter what - I believe inside Clay is a great - wonderful - big heart - loving - caring man - who sings like an Angel.

He's had an emotionally tough life - he could very well be bi-polar and on some type of medication.

So what!

Clay himself has said - I am NOT perfect - he has said - he has he doesn't belong on a pedestal.

He's just a young guy from North Carolina - doing the best he can.

I don't expect anything from Clay. I CHOOSE to support him - no matter what.

If I want to buy 8 CDs - and travel across the country going to his concerts - that is my business and my choice.

I don't believe that Paxil is prescribed for Manic-Depressive patients. It is prescribed for obsessive-compulsive disorders and panic disorders. JP and the other cretins are too ignorant to know this though. He will probably mention it now. What a prick.

Pickle chose Paxil because he is on it himself,

Damn Dimwit!

If Paxil is for panic disorders Clay might be taking it. He did mention that he was having panic attacks when he got into crowds. At the Fashion Week show in NYC last year he again mentioned that he should have taken more of his meds because the crowd was making him uneasy. I got the feeling that the panic disorder is recent, since the AI experience, and is probably a result of the drastic changes in his life. I wouldn't be surprised if he "got over" it soon when the fame thing becomes his normal life.

Luv - No I did not mean to be contradictory or defensive.

We all love our guy - we don't want him hurt. We just want him to be happy - he gives us so much happiness.

When I hate someone this much - I try to remember when they were God's innocent babies - to release that innocence in forgiveness - so that I don't hold on to it causing myself pain.

But the human choices they have made in their adult lives - the ones they are personally responsible for. Those choices I will never forgive. Those choices I hate.

And I too vote for the "boiled in a vat of pig shit".

I'm too lazy to go back thru previous blog comments. Who is Tinfoilhat again?

Collecting names to kick some ass.

Oh Crap said...

Ok. Now I remember! Tinfoilhat is DirectorSandi who owns (?) KCE or is at least a Mod (have I got it right so far?). Do we have a complete name and city for her...anybody? DS also encouraged and engaged in Clay bashing on KCE.

Groucho has posted on other blogs or sites with links to tinfoilhat so....what does this mean? That he and DS are in cahoots in their endeavors or are they friends? What's the connection other than KCE?

We know that Sparkled1 is also Emach who says that Ruben's mother sanctioned and encouraged their criminal activities 3 years ago and that Ruben gave a knowing smile to the sista person who wrote bullshit on BOI under a pen name. Emach has also professed on Sucks, on Truth's blog and to others that she was not involved in this smear campaign but we know differently.

GJ&C is also love4mypets. Do we have a bead on who she really is?

We know that the Johnettes are about 2 or 3 people and all of JP's voices inside his head.

We know that Perez is also Tommy Gnosis as well as 1/2 the VPB team.

We know that BM told JP early on that Clay would NOT sue or acknowledge him which gives JP a false sense of security that he can get away with anything...but he doesn't know me very well.

We know that Clarus is Clarence, just a schmuck for now who resides up north but who used to live in Raleigh...imagine that!

We know that Coti Collins was offered big money to portray Clay in a negative way but he refused. Who offered the money? I've heard that BM and PH were in Las Vegas on New Years Eve as was Coti Collins and I've heard that Kelly Clarkson was too. Don't know how true this one is...anybody? Can this be varified?

We know that Ms. Clarkson got her friend's husband a job on tour with Clay. Anybody know if this is the same friend's husband who was a major Clay basher at KCE?

We know that JP "borrowed" fanfic ideas (i.e. quarter turns) from OC where he was given honorary membership. We know that JP "borrows" events from his own life and uses them to paint a picture of Clay that is totally out of character. We know that JP can no longer keep all his lies straight and has obviously withheld info from C/21 but their corporate office may soon find out.

We know that ML assisted JP getting publicity...for his own greedy end and chances are that he helped with the NE & HS script and that JP "borrowed" some terminology from Groucho for the NE article (i.e. reference to David Koresh and cults). We know that a certain author/writer holds a key piece of evidence that NE made up the bit about the washcloth.

We THINK we know that one of JP's "fernids in high places" at American Media Inc is gay and we know that PH feeds gossip (of his own making) to Page 6 and the tabloids. Lately we know that PH and Page 6 need a new fact checker because they were way off base.

We know that JP always knows days or weeks in advance that someone is coming forward with info and webcams.... who did the photoshopping for the phony Boston teacher? We know that JP has been caught in all his lies so far and that Thom Yorke's photo was used as the template for those webcams.

We know that as far as I'm concerned, Terry Goldman is not off my shit list yet. I still want someone to do an overlay and fade of Thom Yorke pics with Goldman's webcam and we know that Terry Goldman does not have very good business ethics nor does he care who he hurts. Is this only obvious to me? People do NOT put their job in jeopardy nor do they put the company they work for in jeopardy of losing a very lage account. Doesn't make sense unless "outing" someone who professes to be straight is a higher priority.

We have a feeling that the person using the Revnoles screen name is Groucho and has been for some time.

What am I missing as far as players go?

"GJ&C is also love4mypets. Do we have a bead on who she really is?"

She's an odd duck that one. All I know about her is her name is Karen. She used to be on RHT before they went premium. Up until last year, she was drooling, THUDDING and EEEEEe'ing with the best of em. Made remarks about how she hoped he'd find the perfect girl. Now her story is - she knew he was gay all along. She could tell 'by his mannerisms', and she just knew it from the way he looked. She uses the term con man alot - how she just can not support a con man. She supposedly didn't even watch Leno last night, because she didn't want to give him ratings while Clay was on.

luv at 7:17 PM - Big kisses muwaahhh!!
You bless me!

Whew OhC, that is quite a list and I'm not muc help. The only thing I think I remember is that Clarus is from Missouri.

Off to watch Leno again. I could barely keep my peepers open for the first time. It was so wonderful to see him again! I did sense some nerves, but who wouldn't be nervous after all this time! Those nerves settled quickly and it was good to see the sense of humor and voice. Sigh.

If I remember right, pickle was saying how Clay was meeting up with one of his other fictional characters in West Hollywood on Thursday. Now, really. With all those band members in town, I'm sure they spent time with each other and setting up for Leno.

Honestly, I wish we could all group together and circle pickle's house and picket daily until we ran him out of town.

We do know that Emach/Sparkled1/Motherlove ad nauseum... and her special friends were practically giddy with excitement starting August 2005. They dropped veiled clues all over the place. The same behavior was noted a couple of days before each Perez blog. Oh this has been in the works a LONG time.

Linda I agree I was a bit offended by the ADHD comment, my 11 year old son is ADHD, been on meds since he was 7 years old. My boy is pretty much under control 24/7 just has trouble keeping his thoughts together in school. He is more ADD than ADHD, the only thing hyper with him is his motor mouth. He is healthy in every way possible, and also an A student in school.

Oh Crap said...

John said not to forget Jeanne Holleman and her attorney. Thanks, John. You're a fool because this is going to press after Clay's interviews. I'll make sure I mention that YOU implicated them in the smear campaign.

Oh Crap said...

Please, folks, try not to be offended. I know that when someone touches upon a real malady that afflicts our children it hits in the heart but many are guilty of saying things in a joking manner often without thinking that others ARE personally coping with those realities.

Now is not the time to go at each other.

Who is Superherofan?

Oh Crap said...

I have no clue who Superherofan is, honestly. Not sure that person is a big player unless it's an alias for one of the militants we already know.

By the way, I need that pic of Shannon and Kelly doing their monkey business.

Anonymous said...

Good list OhC.

Kelly Clarkson was in Las Vegas NYE but I highly doubt she had anthing to do with BM & PH. She was with a bunch of her girlfriends.

Kelly never gave a job to Boo, her friend Jebb's basher husband. In fact, the friendship between Kelly and the couple seems to have cooled down, they are no longer along for vacations, etc like they used to be.

Kelly's best friend Ashley did work for Clay on tour as his stylist and hair dresser. They became friends when they all toured together on the IT. She did a great job - think they are all still good friends.

Oh Crap said...

Sorry, Kelly IS going to be mentioned whether she had anything to do with this or not and I'm sure she didn't. However, she is well aware, after reading KCE and getting reports back from her old pals, that all this bashing went on. She could have spoken up a long time ago. Guilt by association. I'm taking no prisoners.

Oh Crap said...

Note to the smearers:

I repeat. Don't fuck with the Lady Falcon unless you can fly.

Oh Crap said...

Clarence is his real name. I've got the whole name that somebody sent me in email but, being the lazy person I am, I didn't want to go digging for it.

Oh Crap said...

going digging.

Oh Crap:

You've known all along who Clarass is and you haven't told us?

Spill, so we can investigate this jerk.

Oh Crap said...

I've had his name for a while.. it's been sent to me twice and I can't find either email. I should have put the info in my "MESS" folder.

Have you noticed PH seems to be keeping his distance?

Oh Crap said...

Keeping his distance from what? JP? I think most who were backing JP at first have run like hell from the loony toon character. He'll end up getting the noose tightened around their necks sooner than they even thought.

Anonymous said...

LOL - I didn't want to elaborate - ya know give PH more print.

But - yeah that!

Anonymous said...

SUPERHEROFAN is the real jerk that needs to be investigated. I'd bet that JP isn't involved in this at all. He isn't that smart to keep this going for 9 months.
SUPERHEROFAN says he is an accountant which if true, says he is intelligent although his blogs have enough holes in his accusations to drive a truck thru them. Expose him and the House of Cards will fall like so many leaves from a tree.

Oh Crap said...

It was the OC gals that were there and I'm quite sure he "borrowed" those from one of the message boards or got into someone's photobucket account.

Oh Crap said...

Guess they needed to write more fanfic for JP.

Anonymous said...

Never in my life have I seen or even heard of such a campaign to smear someone. That man is strong.

Anonymous said...

SHF tries to sound smart. Yet - all he says is "someone reliable told me". He says he has credible proof because he knows people from Clay's early days prior to AI. SHF does not say "personal experience or knowledge".

He says he believes JP because he knows of rumors before he knew of JP. Everything SHF says is 2nd or 3rd party hearsay.

We already know the gay rumors followed Clay from his early years. It is no revelation.

Anonymous said...

I know nothing about gay rumors following Clay from his early years. I think they started with AI when they edited him that way cause they didn't want him to win.

All of the tabloids were all over NC during AI trying to find some dirt on Clay - they could find nothing. Amazing to me how now asswipe knows so much.

Anonymous said...

OC...it just occurred to me that my last post to Luv...about the OC may have been offensive...I was going for snark...but the more I think about it..the more I think I missed the mark...so I will just leave the snark to you wonderful equalizers.

Oh Crap said...

Anon at 4:41, I'm with you. I don't remember anyone bringing up anything knowing of rumors prior to AI. I have a feeling that nobody got those vibes about him at all. BM and PH started their bullshit during AI. They think anyone extraordinary is someone they can claim, especially if they have a shy but intellectual demeanor about them. Couple that with Simon's innuendo and the rumors abounded though Smoking Gun and the tabloids could find NOTHING but a paid speeding ticket.

People who KNEW the family or know someone who knew someone would have been talking from the very beginning.

Nope! This was a smear campaign that started 3 years ago in order for certain idiots to be able to rationalize their attraction to Clay. It became a vendetta when Clay revealed that he is STRAIGHT.

Anonymous said...

I still think that some kind of agenda is at work here in slamming Clay. It looks like certain people have looked into the future and Clay may be a much bigger threat than we realize. THEN it makes perfect sense why they are attacking him!

Oh Crap said...

No problem Anon. I snarked my mother when I was young and she beat my ass because she thought I was a brat... I thought I was funny. It happens.

From: Learning to Sing: The nicer I was, the bigger the target on my forehead. The high road left me defenseless. And the mockery only got worse. "Retard" "Fag" "Wimp" "Dork" "Four eyes" "Loser"

I'm only saying the teasing went way back and it can follow with made up stories and/or rumors.

Oh Crap said...

Well we know that Emach, Groucho and Shannon kicked in with JP for their own agenda along with DirectorSandi for the very reason you state. They don't want Clay to outshine their Idols again which is freaking silly...but oh well. It's our turn to take theirs down.

So Clay thinks about himself, take a look at this haters:
