Since coming to national attention on the second season of American Idol in 2003, Clay Aiken has evolved into a versatile and beloved popular entertainer. He has released five well-received albums, selling over 6 million units as of 2011. In October 2003, he launched his first solo album Measure of a Man. The record sold 3 million copies and debuted at number one on the Billboard 200. With 613,000 copies sold in the first week, it was the highest selling first album for a solo artist in ten years, going double-platinum and netting Aiken an American Music Award.

In 2004, Aiken released Merry Christmas with Love, the fastest selling Christmas album in Nielsen Soundscan history. He followed that success with A Thousand Different Ways (2006), All is Well (2006), and On My Way Here (2008). His 5th studio album, Tried and True, was released in 2010, receiving positive reviews from critics across the board. Notably, Aiken earned the distinction of being only the eighth artist to ever have his first four albums debut in the Billboard Top 5.

Aiken also penned a best-selling memoir in 2004. Readers and critics alike embraced his style and his message in Learning to Sing: Hearing the Music in Your Life. The book was an instant New York Times bestseller, holding the prestigious spot for seven weeks.

In 2012, Aiken was runner-up to Arsenio Hall on the 5th season of NBC’s Celebrity Apprentice to raise funds and awareness for the National Inclusion Project (NIP). Beating the likes of Debbie Gibson, Aubrey O’Day and Lisa Lampanelli, he became an audience favorite, raising over $350,000 for NIP.

I love seeing the wonderful bio about Clay.  Just look at all he has done in the last 9 years.

Are you going to a Joyful Noise Concert? Which one(ones)?

The following video is one of my favorites…no special lights, or staging,  just Clay singing from his heart.

    I watched that whole video and I just loved it. My favorite song he sang on that tour was "Welcome To My World." I think I liked it so much because that was the tour where Clay found out he would be a daddy..and I always think he was singing that song about little Parker.

Listening to Clay sing Christmas music always adds to the season!! A very special Thanksgiving and Christmas season to everyone!! Hugs…Cookie
