The First at Coming in Second: The holidays and politics with Clay Aiken

BY Carson Mlnarik

Thirteen years ago, Clay Aiken was runner-up on “American Idol.”

In the years since, the 37-year-old has started a family, published a New York Times best-selling memoir, moved 6 million albums and sold out 11 nationwide concert tours….

…That doesn’t mean that Aiken will not enjoy his Chandler Center for the Arts gig.

“Christmas has always been my favorite show to do,” says Aiken, who toured for five years after his 2004 Christmas album.

“We often did it with a full orchestra and people are always in festive or emotional spirits when they come to a Christmas show.”

As for his favorite holiday song to perform? After much deliberation, Aiken settles on “O’ Come, O’ Come Emmanuel.”

“It’s an old, somewhat stale hymn if you open it up in the hymn book, but it’s a completely different arrangement of it that I just think is beautiful,” begins Aiken, before proclaiming his love for any orchestral arrangement with French horns.

“If the French horns are playing, I’m happy,” he says. “That triumphant horn sound just kind of does it for me.”…

In the afternoon, the following tweet let us know what Clay had planned for Wednesday night!

TONIGHT we talk about @Time “Person Of The Year” @realDonaldTrump with an ALL-STAR lineup of @ClayAiken@NikkiSchwab and @JoeConchaTV

Yes…Clay was on the radio with Meghan McCain.  Clay was on the 3rd hour of the show.  He and Meghan talked about Trump and even more about the different people Trump is nominating for positions in his cabinet.  It was a lively, but informative conversation.
