Thanks for the info…..I love that Clay won the Broadway poll. I hope that we get more news today!!
I hope we get lots more mentions today…….its great to see eveything in one place and organized!!
I am loving all the good mentions of Clay. Keep em comin! Glad to see that BOTW is considered the best AI Performance ever. Yes, I am getting very excited about the tour. Only 23 more days till my Orlando Concert. EEEEEEEEEEEE!
My concert isn't until March……but I am already excited!!
love BOTW… it was the best performance ever !!!!
I agree!! Clay's performance of BOTW is amazing.
Not surprising. That's why Clay really DID win AI2–especially that we now know he 'received 80 percent of the votes every single week he was on.'!!! (Per TWO producers of AI)
Lovin all the nice Clay mentions. Totally excited for the tour! Got my tickets, ready to go
I completely agree that Clay's "Bridge Over Troubled Water" was the best Idol performance ever. I decided to watch some of my favorite performances from other former contests on Youtube last night. While I heard a lot of great talent, none of them can touch Clay's amazing vocals.
