American Idol Season 5

Well, that song "Don't Let The Sun Go Down On Me" is one that he sang on AI2.(In hollywood week I think.)

You're right. I remembered that and he sounds even better now.

[WolvesRawk]

Yeah, he's really getting alot better.(In singing and looks!)

I couldn't believe that was Clay Aiken. Since his debut he has changed his looks a lot I didn't even know it was him until watching clips of the finale on a local news station!

[WolvesRawk]

I was amazed at how...stupid that Michael Sandeky guy was. If there's someone much better than you singing and they turn off your mic, don't try to be heard by singing louder! As I rewatch the video, there are parts where he's trying to be heard and it sounds pretty odd havin Clay singing so great but a small, odd sound in the background.

Oh really? I never saw that season, last year was the first year I watched. They need to play reruns of the older seasons!

[WolvesRawk]

Yeah, they should. Here's a link to all of the songs he did that season. Just click the song to play it. He's improoved so much since then.Here's the link

Wow, yeah he really has improved a lot! Though he still sounded really good in that clip. Thanks for the link!

I think he should have won. I never really hear anything about Reuben Studdard(sp?)

I haven't seen anything on Reuben since he won and was on Oprah lol. I can't comment on who should've won though, because I can't recall how well Reuben sings and I don't know anything about his stage presence.

[WolvesRawk]

He was pretty good, but Clay Aiken was better.(But at the time, I bet he lost a ton of votes just for being ugly.[sorry if that comment offended any past Clay fans.])

[.sarah]

Well Reuben wasn't exactly good looking either, so I don't see how that would be the case.

Did anyone see the top 10 (minus Elliot ) on Entertainment Tonight the other night? Mandisa was like "I think it's time for an American Idol hookup and that should be me and Reuben!" lol

[WolvesRawk]

Lol! I never saw that. Yeah, Reuben was pretty ugly. Now that I think of it, Clay wasn't quite as bad as Reuben. I guess it just depends on point of veiw. Some people like Mandisa think Reuben is awsome, just like there are those that think Clay was hot before the emo hair.(And there are some that think he was hot before and are outraged at him for changing because he looks like a Beetle/mop after cleaning maple syrup)

[.sarah]

lol yeah I've seen where people are complaining about the hair. I love, love, love the hair, but I also think he gained some weight and that made a huge difference too. He doesn't look like a lanky little teenager anymore.

[WolvesRawk]

Yeah. (I just can't get over how hot he is now! I guess I'm also a Claymate, although I hate the term) Chicken Little is starting to look better now that he's growing his hair a bit. I remember the first audition where he just had a little patch of hair. So weird.

Chicken little is cute......... Like puppy dogs and kittens, lol. But when Clay was on AI (Although that is the only season I DIDN'T watch ) He wasn't that bad. And with his short hair he was ok. But I also love the new beetle/mop (Whatever you want to call it, heh) 'do. It took me a while to figure out who it was at first until the showed a close-up. Hmmm, how old his he now?!
