Sway is really getting to the bottom of Clay Aiken’s thoughts on the current American Idol right now
It looks like a lot of people heard Clay today.
On The Doctor Oz Show…a new book…both things I like to hear!!
Off to find more information!!
Clay is such a well rounded human being. It's really nice to hear from him. He does keep a very low profile and I can't say that I blame him. Whatever he decides to do, retire and work for his charities I totally support him 100 percent. He is truely a magnificent singer and no one will ever compare to him but he needs to do what makes him happy. Maybe he could still do a Christmas tour now and then though. LOL He will always have me as a fan.
Thanks so much for the update on Clay's visit to the Larry Flick radio show. Glad to hear he has a book coming out and that he will make an appearance on the Dr .Oz show. I am getting very excited about the Christmas tour this year. It doesn't seem like Christmas without going to Clay's Christmas concert! Also thanks for the link for the wonderful pictures!
Thanks so much for all of this information!! He is so special.
I am thrilled about the news of a new book, as I really really have wanted one ever since I read his first. I hope there will be an audio version narrated by the author!
I am getting anxious for the JNT and feel so blessed to be able to have the opportunity to go.
Such wonderful updates about Clay, looking forward to his next book, I always hoped he would write another one, I will be watching the Dr. Oz show to see Clay as a guest, the pics were great and so nice of you to put all this infor on for us, it makes my day. Thanks Musicfan xox.
Iwish we could get a heads up when CLAY is going to be on different shows. Didn't know anything about DR. OZ SHOW (Clay being on it.)
tennie….Clay taped the show and it hasn't been on TV yet. Aas soon as we know the broadcast date, I will post it.
Tennie, I think it was just taped and will be on in the future – I maybe wrong – but they will
probably announce when it will be on!!! Hope so!
Thanks,musicfan &Marlene.Will be eagerly awaiting it. Some websites talked like it had already aired. Thought I was falling down on the job.
Oh, & I did download the FLICKA INTERVIEWS (MP3ONLY)
Very interesting interview with Larry Flick. I am happy that he is writing another book. I will be the first lined up to buy it. Also, I watch Dr. Oz quite a bit…and will be sure to tune in when Clay is on. Very excited about the Christmas Concerts..and very happy that I can be there.
