Clay Aiken's album due out on June 20th?

Just heard today that Clay's album is due to come out on June 20th. So say RCA Records on their homepage anyway.

And here I was getting ready for early May. Oh well, that's ok. There's always lots of clack to download and listen to, and I'm patient in any case. In the meantime, I also love listening to Jenny Gear, an incredibly talented musician from Newfoundland, Canada, as well as Alberta (Canada) native and Canadian Idol II winner Kalan Porter. But I always come back to Clay!

What moves you most about Clay Aiken?

Hello everyone,

I thought I would do another poll with you this month. This one asks what moves you most about Clay - his voice, his faith, his education (special ed teacher), his community and humanitarian commitment (Bubel-Aiken Foundation, UNICEF...), his charisma, etc. Check out the poll in the right-hand column of my blog, and answer for yourself! If your reply is "other", please post a comment to this message and tell me what it is that moves you about Clay! In fact, even if your response is not "other", feel free to post a comment with your thoughts!

Looking forward to hearing from you.

Clay's new album coming out in May!

Free Image Hosting at ImageShack.us

I know, I know - this is old news for us Claymates! We have undoubtedly all heard already that Clay's album is rumoured to come out on May 9th. But I followed a link and saw this thumbnail on Image Shack.us, with an invitation to post it to one's blog, and I couldn't resist sharing it with you. :-) The original source, where I found this picture, was once again, the CDD Clay News Weekly newsletter on Clay's Daily Double. Gotta love it!

Clay has changed most of our lives!

Recently I put up a Blogpoll poll on my blog, asking surfers "Has Clay Aiken changed your life?". The five possible answers were:

- Completely
- A lot
- Somewhat
- A little bit
- Not at all

Eighteen people responded, with 10 saying that Clay has changed their life a lot, while 8 feel that he has changed their lives "completely". No one chose any of the three other options. I am quite amazed - I thought (feared?) that some Clay-haters would weigh in, negatively of course. :-)

I'm glad to see that some true Clayfans are out there reading my blog. Feel free to leave your comments on my posts!

On the ludicrous intolerance of some people

Hello everyone,

I am floored by just how bigoted and prejudiced people can be! I just read a recent article about some fans suing Clay and his record label, "following tabloid allegations he's gay". I could just scream! My goodness people, get a life! Suing Clay about something so personal? So what if Clay is gay? I just hope he's happy, no matter who is with, no matter the gender his loved one may be.

I hate tabloids, and I find disgraceful the allegations that floated about in one earlier this year. I will not dignify their behaviour by giving a link to that garbage. Just as bad: the man who supposedly "told all". I just feel bad for Clay being subjected to that, and in such a public way to boot.

But nine (former) Clay fans suing him and his record company because they supposedly created an image of Clay as being a "'Virginal, Asexual Character'" whereas he might not be (God forbid Clay might be a sexual being!)? There are no words for how low and despicable that is.

Clay is not some dream character; he is a real young man, a human being with diverse needs, wants, strengths and weaknesses, just like any one of us. And most of his fans love him no matter what, because we know he is fundamentally one of the good guys on this earth, someone to look up to, a real role model.

I just had to get out my frustration with the nasty people-who-have-lots-of-time-to-waste who are intentionally doing something to hurt Clay. Enough said.
