May 20th was the anniversary of the Season 2 Finale of American Idol. Clay Aiken and Ruben Studdard both sang with emotion and wonderful vocal skills. Who won that night? Most think they both won.

As we anticipate more news about Clay and his upcoming performances, lets have some fun.

There are two videos that I think represent Clay Aiken and his amazing talent. First, lets go back nine years to one of the most beautiful performances in AI history. Clay’s performance of Bridge Over Troubled Water sets the standard for all the performances on American Idol. The other video is the International Media release of Clay’s  PBS special. This video is another benchmark in Clay’s remarkable career. Clay may be a few years older, but his voice and talent were there from the beginning and still shine today! Enjoy!
