Producing the Clay Aiken News Network (CANN) is a work in progress. We published our first blog on January 11, 2009, so we are almost 5 months old. We like to think that we do more things right than wrong, but have learned that there are days that things just don’t go the way you plan.
As you might have seen, we expanded our site last week-end. We up-graded to a bigger server so that the readers can access our site more easily and that we can provide more exciting Clay-related “stuff” to our friends. So………………A CANN EXCLUSIVE.
This week-end we have added a wonderful set of videos. SueReu is our resident video expert and she has worked hard to put together a set of videos of the Independent Tour. The tour ran from February 24 – April 16, 2004 and was full of exciting music, humor and dancing. This set of 14 videos highlights songs like Kyrie, When Doves Cry, and the Acoustic Set.
We think that this is a perfect way to bring together the performances into one package for those who remember the tour. But it will also be a great way to introduce the Independent Tour to new fans or to others who are seeking out information on Clay. We are hoping that SueReu will continue her hard work and present us with videos on another Clay Tour soon.
It’s easy to see the videos. Go up to the VIdeo Drop-Down Menu that is just above the Banner. Hit Tours and you are there.
Have fun watching the videos and be sure and thank SueReu for all her hard work.
The Independent Tour was so great! Clay Aiken and Kelly Clarkson put on a terrific show.

In Mar/April 2009, I got sucked into Claydom/Clayworld, while searching for Star Spangled Banner on youtube. After going thru some nice ones by Whitney H, Mariah C, etc., I stumbled on his rendition and got hooked on Clay eversince. Had vaguely remembered him being the only singer on AI2 who can WOW purely by sitting and singing, no dancing or movement required. I had rooted for him secretly then but had forgotten all about it. Thanks for all the clacks. I’m up to speed now and today, am officially on board the Clay train. And in soooo much trouble – I hv OCD. Help!?
Welcome Anna! We love to hear stories of new fans. Thanks so much for sharing yours!
There is no cure. Just enjoy your OCD.
Don’t worry. It will be the best train ride you have ever had.
welcome anna!!!! HAVE FUN LOL!!!!
Welcome Anna **waves from over the pond**
Anna once hooked theres no going back!!! Clay has that magnetic pull!!!
Welcome Anna and there’s soooo much out there to feed the OCD that comes with the fandom. He never ceases to amaze in many things!
Love the new site and the videos are mesmerizing. I could spend a whole day watching that guy sing. Clay Aiken get yourself back out on tour!!! Please.
Welcome to the new fans. He is a one of a kind.
Love the videos..love the site!
Thanks for the videos! I can’t wait to see Clay on tour again!!! I miss him!!!
Thanks to sueReu for all the great job that she does!
I know she is wonderful fun and works hard, and always are ready to help.
And thank you to all the people working here!

Isn’t it great how our guy, the one and only Clay Aiken, keeps gathering fans. Once you really see him, resistance is futile – and this website really helps a lot!! Thanks for all you do.
I loved all the video’s. I love this site too. Now, I can’t wait for when Clay is ready to go out and tour again. He is the best by far..what a showman.
