September 22, 2006………Clay Aiken was in the “blender.” It was the fourth day of his frantic spin through the talk-show circuit, promoting his new album, A Thousand Different Ways.
On September 22, Clay visited The View. Clay was greeted with great warmth by Rosie O’Donnell and the other ladies. They chatted about several different issues including panic attacks, fame and hair styles.
Rosie was the definite leader of the interview. She related that she had her roots in Star Search and could relate to his experience on American Idol and how overwhelming the whirlwind was after the show.
Much of the short interview was about panic attacks and how common they are in the world. The ladies were very supportive and wanted to make sure they conveyed the fact that the panic attacks were nothing to be ashamed of. Rosie said that Clay was doing all the right things. Clay was surrounded by a very supportive group of ladies.
The audience was filled with Clay fans and the entire group was excited to see Clay and hear him sing. Clay sang his first single Without You, a favorite on the new album. Clay stood on the stage which was set beautifully. This is something The View tries to do for their musical artists.
Two videos are available for this appearance and the first one includes the positive interview. The second video is Clay’s performance of Without You.

Another great trip down memory lane!! Thanks, musicfan! I have loved all of Clay's appearances on the view. The ladies have been very supportive and kind to Clay, and I love watching him trying to talk to everyone at once!! I'm looking forward to him returning to The View once his new CD is out next year. He seems to love being on the show as much as they love having him!
I think Elizabeth is a Claymate, don't you?
What a great, fun appearance. He sure looked yummy and was his usual charming, funny, adorable self. I was so proud of Clay for being so open about his panic attacks. Many people suffer from them and I think his speaking of his helps others deal with theirs.
Clay Aiken is always awesome when he's a TV show guest. The only problem is the time goes by to fast! I can hardly wait until he's making the rounds again for the upcoming CD!
Okay, the trite in me comes out – HE LOOKED GORGEOUS!!!!!
With that out of the way, this is one of my favorite interviews – Clay was so open and funny and charming. The performance was spot on too!!!
Clay Aiken looked so beautiful that day. And his performance was one of my favorites on TV. Both his vocals and his stage presence were amazing. Simply perfect!!!
Thank you for these wonderful video's of Clay's appearances for ATDW. First of all, anytime Clay sings WY…I melt. I just love how he looked with his Emo hair…and that man knows how to wear a suit. He has such charisma…that he lights up the whole stage. I will be looking for him to show up on the View when his new CD comes out in 2010. Rosie sure was right when she said he was adorable…I think that is one of our favorite descriptions of Clay.
I loved how the girls totally embraced Clay that day and I might add that is my favorite look. Love his hair that color and style. He sounded and looked FABULOUS!
