You know what? Let's turn this around and celebrate what's coming up in the near future. We have TV appearances and a set of Christmas Concerts to look forward to with mention of a tour in the spring..... lots and lots of Clack.
There's been enough misery from this MESS and those who choose to be miserable and make others miserable will get their just rewards. It can't come soon enough.

I am looking forward to seeing Clay on Friday!
I think it is a wise decision to leave the room and take away the audience. The performance has lasted too long and has become boring.
Totally agree with you OhC.
This mess has gone on long enough - but it's never stopped my enjoyment of being a fan of Clay Aiken. No matter what - no one will ever ruin it.
Clay Aiken the singer gives me joy.
Clay Aiken the man reminds me that there's good in the world.
Clay Aiken's fans are some of the best people I've ever known.
There's lots to celebrate; Regis and Kelly on Friday, Tyra and the AMAs next week.
And then there's the Christmas concerts. Clay singing with a full orchestra.
Clay's voice is going to soar.
And God will smile.
What a wonderful blog!!! Attention is what "IT" wants. Like Clay said "Certain people have had enough attention". IGNORE the beast.
Amen, sister! Clay has made us proud in a thousand different ways, and we get to see him on our TV and soon we'll hopefully have lots of Christmas tour Clack. I plan to enjoy it all.
As far as JP, PH, BM, KCE, the Grinch, etc. are concerned - to quote a very wise young man, they're "a waste of mah time".
I will never be able to comprehend their over-the-top hatred for Clay and his fans. Anything that Clay's fans have done as far as exposing these evil people is a mere drop in the bucket compared to the venom, nastiness and pure malice displayed for all to see - and why? Simply to cause harm to one very good man and those that love him. Well, they can now drown in their own misery for as long as they want - I'm very happy to let them, but will not be getting into that pool of slime with them.
Thank you, again OhC, for this great blog. You've done good...
I think Clay will have it neatly trimmed like the way it was on Kimmel.

6:53 AM
Nooooo! this old lady was just starting to reallllly like the come grab a handful look...mmm
I am voting long!
I loved KTLA hair - longish but styled "oh just so". Rawwrrrr.
Oh, and on KTLA, I loved when he said "there is no dirt; they have to make things up".
The difference between the MESS and Clay is that everytime I see or hear Clay he puts a smile on my face.
Yesterday's KISS interview had me laughing out loud and I can't wait till Friday's Regis and Kelly show.
NZ - love reading your words.
The season is kicking off...Regis and Kelly. Tree lighting, Tyra Banks, Thanksgiving, time with our families then the Christmas concerts and clack begin.
Glad that Clay is going to be on R&K, Tyra and glad he is doing the small tour.
Bring on much happier days!
I don't care which hairstyle he wears, I just want to hear it sing and talk to me. He's such thrill no matter what. Clay certainly got my heart pumping like new and it's been keeping the beat with him since the beginning. Siiiigh! I love him.
I love clay's hair long or short.
I will however guess that Friday clay will have shorter hair.
Truth, I sent you a message.
Got it and answered you.
The hair issue -
Even though I feel the ATDW/People/Kimmel hair is perfect, I'm kind of intrigued by just how loooong he'd let it grow :)
Yep, it was definitely "grabbable" at UNCC.
Here's another - traditional tux for Christmas concerts, long jacket like JNT, or something soft and velvety?
okay, okay! Nekked and his hair wrapped around my fingers.
NO?
As long as it's not another white suit.
Oh, but Truth.........the white suit shows it all!
I loved the white AI suit. That one fit Niiiiiiiice. Of course, the Holy Grail suit didn't fit so snug but who cared?
Woohoo!! Just 16 more days and I get to see him in Waukegan and Merrillville. I don't care what his hair looks like or what he wears.
I love just about everything Clay wears - white suit, black tux, jeans, hoodies, suit, shirt/tie. I'm easy. The ONLY thing I didn't really care for was the vest thingie he wore at JBT, but I know those were chosen for the era.
And, "7:58 anon"!! Why I never!!! Whatever do you mean?
The pickle crap (did you know that pickle's crap? well, they do) is less and less the more I see and hear Clay. Funny how that works.
I've had some mucho-goodo therapy today listening to "If You Don't Know Me By Now"! (over and over and over) I highly recommend it.
Hey, it looks like I'm going to be able to get into the city for the UNICEF tree lighting after all. I am getting a scratchy throat though. I better not be getting sick.
I would love to revisit the black shirt/black leather pants from the first AMA's!
YUMMY!!!!
" Oh Crap said...
okay, okay! Nekked and his hair wrapped around my fingers."
OhC - we are definitely on the same wavelength. I've had the exact same mental image...
Hey, he can wear his hair any way he wants. Short and spiked, moptopped and falling in his eyes, or long and "hot rock god" style. I do like the idea of the soft shiny locks that I can run my fingers through, but I really don't care. He's hot as hell any way he wears it....
*g*
Ooh and lets not forget that "All Is Well" is coming SOON too. Clack, Clack and more Clack.
TRUTH - thank you for the compliment. I'm just reminding myself what Clay has brought to my life - and I know it's true for y'all here too. And I like to think that God smiles when Clay sings...
'Night girls.
Here's an interesting clip from a Tyra Banks Blog/email re: Clay
Someone that has the freshest clean smelling breath is Clay Aiken. I know cuz he came on my show, and I had one of the most fun interviews with him that I have ever had. I am so in love with him. He is so funny, loving and just darn amazing. He even sang with me. Yes, we did a duet. I was awful. He sounded like an angel. Clay has the most loyal fans in the world. They call themselves "Claymates." I told Clay I am a "Clay-frican American," meaning that I am an African American that loves Clay Aiken. Get it? You gotta see how much fun we had. The show airs next Wednesday, November 22nd.
Oh yeah, and I ask Clay the one question that everyone is dying to know the answer to. You gotta watch!!!
Cleanest breath was Clay....I'm not surprised.
Lookie what I found in my Yahoo Alerts!! Maybe because I have Direct TV???? Either way, Clack is Clack is Clack!!
EL SEGUNDO, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--DIRECTV, the nation's leading satellite television service provider, heralds in the holiday season with Songs of Praise for Christmas, a 90-minute television special hosted by Grammy Award-Winner Amy Grant and NASCAR legend Darrell Waltrip. This all-new Christmas special debuts November 24 exclusively on DIRECTV Channel 103 and will run continuously through the month of December. Featured performances from celebrated artists and choirs include Clay Aiken, Grammy-Award winners Nicole C. Mullen and Michael W. Smith, as well as the famed Brooklyn Tabernacle Choir.
1:11
EEEEEEEEEE! We'll definitely need Clack from that DirecTV channel.
I cannot wait to see Clay on Tyra Banks. I wanna see the sparks and sizzling between the two. Only one more week!
Can't wait till tomorrow for Clay!!
I love Clay too!! Whatever style
his hair is in it will looooooook
GORGEOUS!!!!
This is the Best Blog Yet!!! I love it. Do more like these and less like the others and I'm a happy camper. I can't wait for tomorrow!
Got a little story to tell, I loved it myself.....last weekend my son and I went out to dinner and I wore one of my Clay shirts. Our waitress saw my shirt and OMG she just wouldn't shut up!!! This girl loves Clay soooo much. She sat down at our table and just kept talking, of course I didn't mind the least bit, she was telling me she boycotted AI for 2 years, refused to watch it after Clay lost...she said in her heart Clay was the Winner...after about 15 minutes of non stop Clay chat she finally got our drinks, she was such a sweetie, that's the first time I met someone as crazy for Clay as me...
jbc!!!! REALLY?!!!!! I am going to love the Holiday Season this year and nobody can spoil it.
We must have been very good this year cause we sure are getting a lot of presents from Clay!
well, i work at a school. One of the teachers came up to me to see if I knew about Clay's xmas concert coming up. (of course, i do....but love it when people think of me when they hear about Clay) Says her son (senior in high school) just loves Clay. She says her son, who is in choir, says Clay's voice is practically perfect. They are thinking about getting tickets for their son to see Clay in concert. I practically begged her..."please take him to see Clay"!
Hey y'all, how you doin' tonight?
Did you see the Tyra clip on her site?
He is so CAAAAAAAAUUUUUTE!!!!
Tyra looked like she was about to come out of her clothes...hehe!
EEEEEEEEE, I can't wait to see him.
You have to see the Tyra clip...what a doll!
Wow, I cannot wait for tomorrow to see Clay and then next week - The Tyra Show!!
Life is good!
Here's the link for the clip:
http://tyrashow.warnerbros.com/
Just click on by Clay's picture. We almost see the kiss!!
Is she that tall or was she wearing heels?
Crew, aren't you going to ask that teacher to take you as well? I would be bringing her apples everyday.
OC, you going to the Snowflake lighting on Saturday since you live in NY:)
Yes, WRU. I have had a long visit with my sons and will be flying back tomorrow afternoon. That should be enough time to make sure my makeup and long blonde locks are perfect, right? Just in case I can get close enough wink.
Take lots of photos!
My oh my, Tyra sure did seem all touchy-feely with Clay, didn't she. LOL - she liked him alright.
It's no wonder Clay sometimes needs to pinch himself. Before all this there were plenty of girls who wouldn't have looked twice at Clay - but Tyra, one of America's most beautiful women, was all over him during that taping... Oh the irony.
EEEE, just a few hours till "Regis and Kelly"... or should that be "Clay and Kelly"?
Now - the hair. Will it be mop-top or long locks? That is the question... :o)
I love this blog, so much better and cheerful.
Clay is going to be one hot sexy co host. Can't wait for the Clack!!
Aiken, don't you just love when you run into other fans and you can chat with them like you've been friends forever?
OC, you going over to Jersey to pick up Polly when you go to the lighting ceremony. Remember her car died.
Just finished watching R&K...Let me catch my breath here! Ok, is there anything the MAN can't do except run? He's so at home in front of the camera and he looks so goooooood.
He reminds me of Johnny Carson. Funny without having to rip others apart. I love how he plays off whoever he's with.
I just finished watching the show for the second time! He was so good! I am liking the hair. Just a really cute show for him. He is a natural in front of cameras.
Anonymous in Pending: I'd put your comment through but we're not touching certain issues for a while. This is a happy blog but I will tell you that your good instincts are correct. NEVER happened.
WooHoo - I might get to meet Oh Crap!! I'm gong to the tree lighting, too!
Gaaahhhh - wasn't he fabulous today? Loved it - loved seeing Emmitt and Mario, too!
Taking a break from watching dancing Clay on R&K -
I WANT HIM.
That's all. Gonna go rewind and watch again.
It was a good show today. Clay looked absolutely delicious. Too bad the boys worked today because both of them are big fans of Emmitt and the youngest named his pet Python, Little E, after him... only Little E is not so little anymore...Yuckkkkkkkkkkkkk.
I'm with Keep! I WANT CLAY AIKEN
Clay was absolutly FANTASTIC today!!!
whoooosshhhh to watch again
Has anyone here seen the fan videos? They show what went on during the commercials. He and Kelly were so funny! He was so relaxed and interactive with the audience.
He looked really, really good!
Have you seen the pics the press took of him in the car? They were all over his car and chasing it!
Huuugs
OMG, he is awesome....just a wonderful, wonderful boyfriend. It would be so fun to have him on our TV's everyday.
I haven't seen them Huugs so I gotta go looking for them.
"I WANT HIM."
Me too..
He's so damn intelligent and quick-witted. Heck of a turn on. And he's got this sense of humour too. And that voice.. He was amazing today and by the end of the show Kelly was practically eating out of his hand. Someone needs to give him his own show already! Maybe today was some way of giving him some interviewing experience?
As for the deeply philosophical and important subject of the HAIR - I have to say, I do miss the bangs - but I'm SO conflicted, 'cause I love this look too. It's a little darker; and I always think that makes those stunning eyes more noticable. Grrr, what a sexy man - beautiful, sexy eyes, kissable mouth and soft, grabbable hair. Is it just me, or is he maturing before our very eyes? Gawd - he looks HAPPY y'all. Smiling, laughing, eyes sparkling; snark totally intact... and something else I'm picking up on but can't put my finger on exactly. Like some kind of new attitude or something. All I know is, is that I like it. Lots. I love seeing him like this, happy, confident, witty...
I love Clay Aiken.
And I WANT him. Really BAD...
*groan*
I know what you mean NZ. He's always had a confidence about himself that's been so appealing but this is a new confidence. He's a more mature man who is very much in control and maybe... just maybe finally aware of just how sexy his intelligence and wit really are to women.
Fred Bronson said it quite simply one time about when Clay and the other AI-2 kids were choosing their songs for Billboard #1 Night. Clay walked into the room last and everyone turned to him. Fred said it was like the Chairman of the Board just walked in.
That's Alpha Male and I think he finally gets it about himself.
Oh, and he also looked like a dream and I think he finally gets that, or at least gets that we think so.
My 2 Cents -
I think Clay has always had a confidence with his singing and now he's getting it with being himself.
We've seen this on stage and loved him for it. Now he is being himself more on TV. I think we got a good dose of that today since it wasn't an interview with him getting asked the same old questions and giving the same old answers.
One of my favorite come-backs today was when Kelly said something about him being combative and going to put him over her knee and he said... And all I have to be is combative?
Sure, it was just one of many funny zingers he through out - there were a lot, but I think it showed a lot more of who he is - a funny guy with a great sense of humor and an adult who is not wearing a halo!
It makes him all the more loveable!
Yep Clay was HOT!! on R&K. He is
sooooooooo adorable, sexy, witty
cutesingerman! Please give him his
own talk show......HOT!!
Seems someone is pretending to be me elsewhere and I must be saying something witty. I have no idea what it is though because I've been concentrating on that new sexier than sexy Clay Aiken who showed up on my TV Screen yesterday morning.
LOL... someone just sent me a copy of what "I'm" saying elsewhere. Sorry, Ain't me.
Who do you think it is, OhCrap?
Who do I think it is? No clue. I don't use the term "hate on".
But, oh boy! I'm loving Clay's hair. So soft, supple and finger crunching good.
I've just pulled myself up off the floor after watching Clay on R & K yesterday.
swoon I loved it and his hair is to die for...
YUM.
Yeah That, did you get to see the shots taken through the windows and outside GMA where he taped a Christmas song for them?
Holy Moly Smokin' Aiken!
Nooooo!! I haven't seen them...where can I find those?
They are on the Clayboard with their very own thread on Clay Street. Now there are Videos..
RUNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNN
Holy Hell...oh my...oh yeah...
*thud* Whoa. *sigh*
uh... my spelling and/or grammer really isn't that bad unless it's after midnight and I've been "having fun."
see previous post - THREW ;)
I could blame it on cutesingerguy distracting me.
Emmanuel~ sounded wonderful but it sure was frustrating with the NYC background noise. We'll have to be patient and keep our tivos ready for the airing.
Reports are coming in from the Snowflake Lighting!!
Here's one: Reporting that a rep from UNICEF says that Clay is the nicest guy. What you see is what you get. Also said it is terrible how he is sometimes treated.
He's wearing a turtleneck! A turtleneck and that hair - just kill me now! And he is singing tonight!
Sorry! Just re-read - they are hoping for a turtleneck! Heck, I don't care what he wears, he's gorgeous no matter what.
Back again with more.
Some of the fans were talking to a guy from UNICEF who has met Clay a couple of times, and the guy say Clay is "highly respected" by the UNICEF staff and that not just anyone can be a UNICEF ambassador.
We know our guy is loved and respected but it's so nice to hear, isn't it?
The guy speaking from Unicef says that Clay's been with them every step of the way and he keeps saying Clay's name because when he does everyone screams! Hilarious!
Just got off the UNICEF threads - waiting for clack.
Apparently there are some verrry nice grey pants involved :)
I'm just so proud of him tonight. I hope the UNICEF event gets the attention it deserves.
GOOOOOOOOOOOOOO BUCKS !!!!!!!!!!
Wheeeeeeeeeeeeeee! Buckeyes and Clack. It doesn't get much better.
Darn I don't live that far away, I wish I had went :(
QUOTE~ from Clay
"I got to this point and it’s a high profile job and on top of that, there are the rigors and pressures of being in the public eye all the time. And my absolute priority, more than having a good song, is to set a good example. I accept it as a responsibility."
He's just so delicious - what a sweetie.
Did you see the picture of Clay where he is holding a little child and they are both looking up at the star?
Good Lord, I LOVE CLAY AIKEN!!
Clay was sooooo GORGEOUS last night
the pics are HOT!!! THUD!!!
From the boards -
Back from NY and I guess I don't have to tell you how gorgeous he looked, I am overwhelmed. xxxxxxx
and I talking to the UNICEF Rep, he was actually the IT man, he said Clay is a very nice, very dedicated to UNICEF, very humble who you see is who he is, he also said that UNICEF has turned down celebritys because they didn't think they would be good models for their organization they are very above board and everyones background is extensively checked and the one thing that he said I didn't want to be put on the boards but after thinking about it there isn't any reason not to, he said that the things that are done to him are despicable, he told us a cute story about trying to transfer Clays manifest from Indonesia from Clays Mac to his and didn't know how to do it so Clay was nice enough help him in the transfer, he said here I am the IT guy and I couldn't do it, he was the nicest man, Clay is very much respected at UNICEF and that he is very popular his celebrity site has the most hits, he also told us that the snowflake has 16,000 crystals and that it took ten hours to put it up and that is very very big, it is beautiful
In closing, what this nice gentleman said tonight about Clay made my whole year, I never ever doubted Clay about anything and this man has just proved to me what I knew all along
I think every media was there taking pictures last night. One of them said it was highly likely one of them would show up in People! Getty, Wire Image, and a couple of others were there snapping pictures of the man! He looked amazing!
Huuugs
I don't know why it can't find my account on this blog. :)
I put up a new blog about the Snowflake lighting.
Oh Wow! I wasn't expecting the Unicef appearance to be so wonderful! I love surprises like that! The pictures are all to die for.
He is so in control and I find it still exhilarating to watch his career unfold.
Gooooooood Afternooon, ladies!!! How y'all today?
Did you just about drop dead from all the gorgeous pictures last night and today. That guy just gets hotter and hotter, doesn't he....he's all grown up now and RAWR, he did a fine job.
The UNICEF info. touched my heart. Clay is well respected wherever he goes, no matter what others would try to get us to believe.
He is a STAR...and he is shining brighter than I've ever seen.
I LOVE IT!!!!!
Yeahthat I think Clay out shined that big star last night don't you? My God the man was looking good!!!!
Absolutely. He owned that stage. OWNED IT. He was so good with the kids, too. Did ya see the picture of he and the little girl looking up at the star? *sniff* I got all misty...
He has the respect of the people who matter in this world and I, for one, couldn't be prouder.
He is the real deal, girls...aren't we lucky we figured it out 4 years ago?
"He is the real deal, girls...aren't we lucky we figured it out 4 years ago?"
I wouldn't call it luck. I'd say we are just very very good at reading character. And character is what Clay has in spades. We saw it. We knew it. We still know it.
We sure do have something special to be Thankful for don't we ladies???
I still can't believe Clay got me to go to my first concert ever in my life, talk about major melt down......
My concert experiences were Sonny and Cher, Brazil 66 and then Ace Frehley teamed up with Richie Scarlett and their backups. The dualing guitars were amazing; Ace plays that thang smooth as buttah.
Our guy sings smooth as buttah. I like buttah

Got ya OC.....LMAO!
Not my first concert ever but the first time I went to one all by myself and the first time I walked into a crowd of strangers not caring that I knew no one there.
OK Clay has had background checks by UNICEF and the Bush administration to support programs involving children.
ENOUGH SAID!!!
LOL, the first concert I ever saw, at a very,very young age, I might add, was Joey Dee and The Starlighters! Anyone remember the Peppermint Twist? I guess not. My mom and her friend got a free pass and front row seats!
I have seen Elvis, Bruce S., George Michael and several others. Clay tops them all! He is such an entertainer. Amazing!
Huuugs
I just love him and no one can take that away from me. I can't wait to see him in Charlotte and Greensboro and it's soon. YAY!
Wow, everyone is just so excited since yesterday!
It's amazing isn't it? You know, one of the pictures of Clay holding the little girl and she's smiling down into his face? Yeah well - kids just KNOW don't they? It's obvious to me that she saw what we see. It's one of my favourite pictures ever - including the one where they're both looking up at the snowflake. I love that man. He looks so sure of himself these days; confident. There's this aura about him - and I'm loving it. I think our Clay is all growed up, y'all...
And it seems UNICEF holds Clay in very high regard. They said he works tirelessly, is passionate and committed to UNICEF and the children it helps. Some people think it's easy to get involved in an organisation like that - but not everyone gets to be an ambassador. It is an honor bestowed on those that show true committment to UNICEF's work.
I think we are good judges of character - and damn, I sure am glad I'm one of them. Those that don't get it will never understand just what this fanship is. It's like nothing I've ever experienced before.
So - I've come to the conclusion that the people who matter know who Clay is - the others don't matter... Simple really.
Great blog OhCrap.
"I think we are good judges of character - and damn, I sure am glad I'm one of them. Those that don't get it will never understand just what this fanship is. It's like nothing I've ever experienced before."
You got that right.I love being part of this amazing ride.
I love clay more and more with each passing day.
