1) story is very short on any actual details

2) sounds like the write has an agenda to me.

What do they mean it went diva on them? That thing has always been a diva.

"Diva" might actually be too masculine a term for him.

When have you ever heard of an entire group of people (students, parents, teachers, stage workers, etc.) who all refused to talk when someone famous acted badly? It doesn't happen. Someone always talks, especially since a story like this (if there is a story there) would sell well in tabloids. If no one is talking, they probably didn't all see what the article implies they must have seen. Maybe some of Aiken's people acted badly towards the kids, maybe he himself was a jerk, but if so, why isn't anyone talking? Seems fishy.

There's more to this story. I just can't see Clay Aiken dressing down an adult teacher.

I never even heard of the guy(?) until his(?) appearance on Jay Leno a couple days ago. Geek, average voice, horrible song. ....an embarrassment.

Something happened. Everybody confirmed it. It was terrible. You don't need to know about it.

I read the whole thing and still have absolutely no idea what the problem is.

I'm not a Clay Aiken fan but this story stinks for some unknown reason.

That's exactly what I was thinking...I highly doubt Clay Atkins is the type of guy portrayed here. I just don't buy any of it.

If he told the NJ teacher of the year to STFU, he has increased my respect for him....

I work with a woman who flies around the country for his concerts. She switched her allegiance over to him after George Harrison died. I'll have to ask, but I would never hint that someone doesn't like him.

I haven't heard anything about this yet anywhere else. If there's something to it I doubt anyone can keep the lid on. There are just too many hungry tabloid performers out there.

It remains to be seen if this is just smoke with no fire . . .
