And for what it's worth, I think Clay may be back. The songs are really growing on me and I must compliment him on his vocal performance. Something About Us is perfection. It sounds like it could have been recorded back in the Frank Sinatra, Nat King Cole days and I think it could be a song that can stand the test of time. If the public get the chance to hear it. I also really like Where I Draw The Line. It just has a good flow to me. So the ones I like so far: Ashes (radio-friendly) Everything I Don't Need (very radio-friendly) Something About Us (this could be a classic) Falling (radio-friendly) Where I Draw the Line (radio-friendly) Sacrificial Love (reminds me of something that could be played in a Disney movie.) I guess I will be buying the cd.

I guess I will be buying the cd. Those are pretty much all my favorites but I also really like Grace of God and Lover All Alone. Something About Us needs to be on a movie soundtrack as it would become an all time classic love song. The WalMart cd has a bonus that, IMO, is one of the best ballads on the cd, Forget I Ever Knew You. It's up at Greg Critchley's MySpace. http://profile.myspace.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=user.viewprofile&friendid=120304150 Last Edited By: KathyMA 05/13/08 8:34 PM. Edited 1 times.

Clay's is a bit overdone IMO... the song needs something more contemplative and restrained vocally IMO... that said, on the actual album there are at least 5 or 6 songs that I think are fanfuckingtastic!

That's not true. I actually bought Clay's first cd. But I must admit that I grew tired really fast. I probably wouldn't have even bought it if it wasn't Clay's voice. I have even seen him in concert a couple of times (because I took my mom.) I don't think I ever said he couldn't sing. Just that he glory notes too much but it seems like he toned it down a little on this cd.

I think the fans have made much better ones, but I guess something is better than nothing. http://new.music.yahoo.com/videos/ClayAiken/On-My-Way-Here--60221901;_ylt=At4CM5geFh3CWFGR9CagRUzesyUv Looks like Madonna's prediction fell far short, and Clay is actually fourth (but virtually tied for third anyway). From Billboard Clay Aiken's "On My Way Here" lands at No. 4 with 94,000 #1 Neil Diamond 146k #2 Toby Keith 103k #3 Madonna 94k #4 Clay Aiken 94k #5 Mariah Carey ETA: Clay was on Good Day, LA this morning, and Jillian and Dorothy were actuallly nice to him. I didn't watch it because they're such two-faced beyotches, but I went ahead and watched it online after I heard what a great interview it was. Loved it! I don't know if this link will take you right to the interview or not, but it did when I did it. http://media.myfoxla.com/live/ ETA: Found a better link: http://www.myfoxla.com/myfox/pages/InsideFox/Detail?contentId=6538383&version=2&locale=EN-US&layoutCode=VSTY&pageId=5.2.1 Last Edited By: Claymazement 05/14/08 5:13 PM.

Other mad, mad business in this coming Top 200 include Clay Aiken's On My Way Here, which bows at #4. The Claymates predictably snatched up the former Idol's latest, placing Aiken just 100 fewer copies behind Madonna's Hard Candy at #3 (94,000). (Um, how does Madge feel coming in just behind Clay in only her second week on the chart…?) Something isn't quite right in these reports. The one above is from MTV and it says Madonna came in behind Clay Aiken but that Clay was behind Madonna by 100 CDs. Huh? Yahoo reports a much higher number. What gives? The season two runner-up sold 106,000 copies of On My Way Here at No. 4. While he's released two cover albums and an EP in recent years, On My Way Here is Aiken's first album of originals since 2003's Measure of a Man, which set the mark for best sales week by an Idol alum with 613,000 debut copies.Sandwiched between Diamond and Aiken, Keith's double-disc 35 Biggest Hits roped in the No. 2 spot, selling 103,000 copies, while Madonna, who topped last week's chart with Hard Candy, sold another 94,000 copies at No. 3.

In a somewhat healthier sales climate, his last album, the covers package A Thousand Different Ways, sold 211,000 its first week in late 2006, entering the chart at No. 2. Even with that head start, it's only a little above half a million now; with a smaller beginning, OMWH will need some added stimulus (hit single would be helpful) to match that total. Clay's ATDW sold 400, up from 300, total 526,000 SoundScan: Week Ending 5/11/08 By Gossip Girlz \| May 14, 2008 - 5:01 pm - Posted in All Bizness Here are the numbers for top 10 Sound Scan this week.

He says that he and Kelly like to joke that when they were on Idol, they had to walk ten miles in a snowstorm. Well, things were quite different those first couple seasons. LOL

It comes on at 9:00 a.m. and I'm a nightowl, so I guess I'll just watch it online when I get up. Ha! Those paparazzi clowns took a close up pic of Clay's feet! The feet are not that attractive, but I kind of like the sandals. It's in the 80's in LA this week. Last Edited By: Claymazement 05/15/08 3:55 PM. Edited 1 times.

But bless his heart tho, he's seems to have had them for like 50 years!
