I love that they used up-to-date pictures for this announcement.  I do hope that Clay has fun on August 2nd and that we will get to see a bit of Clay that day.  Maybe…even a Periscope!!

As many of you know, I have not watched American Idol for many years.  That being said, I am thankful that they have introduced some wonderful entertainers to the world…especially Clay Aiken.

The following pictures are reminders of some of the most exciting performances by Clay Aiken.
