TONIGHT'S LIVE THREAD

Thanks, there is no TV here in the office so I will sign off until the show is over........I wish G-DSPEED to both of them. GO CLAY GO!

thanks for the ping--I couldn't "attend" tonight, sorry I missed you guys.

Now I'm a little bummed about Clay losing, but things will look brighter tomorrow, I think.

Man, he knocked the roof off with Bridge Over Troubled Water. I love that AI is introducing a whole new generation to great American music.

Well, the show's over. They've lost their credibility. First reported 13K votes. Then reported 1,300 K. Now they state it's a difference of 130K votes.

Of course New York voted for Clay. Lots of good singers up th ere. I think the votes in Florida were fixed and Gore won. LOL I'll be buying all Clay cds and stuff. Clay in my book is the Sinatra of our time.

Just like a real election, certain parts of the country had the ability to vote more than once. In Florida, I was only able to vote once and found out you could vote when the 3 hours were up just today.

Clay Aiken's the man. I actually like their duets and trio with Kim Locke. Ruben's got no lectricity.

Is this the Clay got robbed thread for tonight? If not, please ping me to the results thread. Clay lost Florida because of the poor phone lines. I liked Clay enough to stop watching AI next time around and just be Clay's fan. All the Ruben hype and reporting the vote tally thrice tells me that they aren't fair and balanced at the network Fox.
