It is hard to believe that it has been exactly a year since Clay Aiken was a musical guest on the popular day – time talk show, The View.

Promoting his new album titled Tried & True, Clay showed all the album pictures as he talked about the classic songs that were a part of the album.

Since it had been over a year since Clay had visited The View, the ladies asked Clay questions about American Idol, coming out and his young son, Parker.

The guest co-host of the day was comedian, Mario Cantone.  He praised Clay for his decisions about becoming a father and seemed to show a great deal of respect for Clay and the way he lives his life.

After the chatty interview, Clay performed a beautiful rendition of Unchained Melody, one of the fan favorites from the new album.  The special arrangement by Ben Cohn showed off the beautiful song and Clay’s performance was amazing.

I am ready to see and hear Clay on The View again. How about you?
