On Thursday, March 31st, American Idol performed for the last time on their Hollywood Stage.  Next week, the show moves across town to the Dolby Theatre for the last week of American Idol.

One of the interesting things about last Thursday’s show was the Hometown Hero visits.  It was fun to see the excitement of the young singers as they saw the crowds of people in their hometowns who were there to see them and support them.

I remember seeing the Hometown visit Clay Aiken made during Season 2.  He met with school children, visited with his family, and even threw out the 1st ball at the Durham Bulls Baseball Game.  He even flew in a private jet!!    It really looked like he had a good time.

Those kids are so excited!

Just a short song!!

Can you imagine how exciting this must have been for Clay?

Do you remember watching this during Season 2?
