I missed most of Season 1, but got to see the last few.
Do a search on Clay Aiken on Google, and you'll find all sorts of audio and video downloads. I don't have the links here, but remind me and I'll try to track some down if you'd like. I took my son to see Clay's Christmas concert, and we were both blown away.
(buffing nails) He was one I noticed in the audition shows right away, just because of his voice and positive attitude. :-)
I'll do that. I was impressed with the clips I heard.
His last album did really well I hear.
