A Big Thank you to Clay Aiken for the fabulous web concert last night.
What a wonderful way to start the new year!
Lets do it again!
And another Big Thank you to Ben Cohn.
You add so much to the concert.
Did you watch the web-concert? If so, you were one of over 17,000 views. If for some reason, you were not able to see the concert, it is still available on Clay’s Facebook page. You can still watch it there as many times as you want. And, of course, the numbers go up too!
It was fun to see that both Quiana and Angela were watching the concert and sent a comment to Clay. Those three made a great team.
I was lucky enough to see the warm-up video of Clay singing the ballad version of Invisible. It took me about 2 seconds to realize we would have a wonderful concert.
Clay’s song choices ran from some of his classic songs to songs that I had never heard him sing before. Each song was chosen to work with just the piano. Thanks to Ben for adding a magic touch the the songs!
I tried to write down the 15 songs in order:
- Invisible
- At This Moment
- Get Here (Is That Right?)
- I Don’t Have the Heart
- Love, Look What You’ve Done To Me
- Proud of your Boy
- I Can’t Make You Love Me
- Mandy
- Bring Back My Love
- The Way
- Something About Us
- Sarah
- Someone Else’s Star
- Somewhere
- Unchained Melody
I loved every song, but if I had to choose my top 5, they would be
- Sarah – a beautiful song that I had never heard Clay sing.
- I Can’t Make You Love Me – such a emotional song…memories of Clay’s Juke Box Tour.
- Invisible – but as a ballad, slow and sexy!!
- Somewhere – One of my favorite songs for years, so it is extra-beautiful when Clay sings it!
- At This Moment – No special reason, it’s just the correct pairing of song and singer.
So…what are your favorite songs from the concert?
It will be fun to see your picks in the comments!

My favorite songs from Clay's web concert is Sarah, Somewhere,Bring back my Love to you,
I don't have the heart, and Something about us.
What a fabulous concert. I loved every moment. Please Clay…can we do this again in a few months?
Favorite songs…I love Invisible in the slow, sexy way. I also love I Can't Make You Love Me. But loved every note Clay sang.
Many thanks for keeping us in the know…it is much appreciated.
Sarah was my favorite. I love his mid to lower range on slow and steady songs. As an extra bonus it was something new for me. On the peppy side I enjoyed The Way.
What an amazing night folks!! I was glued to the computer screen!!! As always Clay has a voice that is hard to beat!
Love him and can't wait for him to sing "Touch" in the not too distant future!! Yayyy!! Back to watching!!
In a word Amazing!!! All of it was fantastic but I gotta go with Bring back my love and I can’t make you love me.
OMG, OMG, OMG!!!!!!! What a wonderful night. The concert was more than I could have ever expected. I loved how "casual" it was. It was like friends just hanging out together having a great time. I loved every song, but I really enjoyed Sarah, I don't have the heart, Proud of your boy & …….OK all of them.
THANK YOU CLAY & BEN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Its hard to choose one but Sarah was a beautiful surprise. Although I never watch AI anymore, I had planned to watch it this week just in case Clay would be on. Clay shared the good news with us last night that not only would he be on the first episode, but he and Ruben would be mentors later in the series.
I've been out of the Clay-loop and stumbled upon the mini concert last night when I opened up Facebook. So hard to pick favorites!
1. The Way – always loved that song
2. Mandy – love the emotion he puts into it
3. Proud of Your Boy – this is where I joined the concert and was just in shock he was LIVE
4. Can't pick more, I loved them all!
Can't believe he sat there with just Ben and the piano and sang his heart out for an hour. Wow, I didn't realize how much I miss that VOICE. I'm still walking around with a stupid smile on my face this morning. Thank you Clay!
My Top 5 are Sarah, Bring Back My Love, Something About Us, Somewhere and Mandy! Thank you ,Clay for bringing this concert to us, I as well as others are so blessed to have you in our lives! I also want to give a big thank you to Ben for making the concert complete! Clay's glorious voice and your beautiful arrangements were perfection!
Awesome web concert!! I saw so many names run through the comments from people who I know have been around for awhile. Great to see that!! I think my favorite of the night was Sarah, which I had never heard at all by anyone. Bring Back My Love was wonderful, Something About Us……..Mandy……….pretty much everything. I look so forward to Touch!!! Thanks to Clay and Ben for a wonderful night!!!
