The symphony just started and is playing "It's The Most Wonderful Time of the Year"

I know that they are going to test the phone here with the beginning of the symphonies portion and then we won't have any reports until intermission, so don't panic if there aren't any reports for a little while.   :wink

I talked to Clandy about an hour and a half ago and she didn't mention anyone NOT making it, so I would imagine that everyone did get there in one piece.  If she calls after the show I'll be sure to ask.

We have actually stayed connected and listened to the symphony this whole time.  Clay could have a really great time with this tonight.  The conductor is hilarious and is getting a lot of laughs. 

They just played the 1812 Overture with Here Comes the Bride thrown in.  This symphony has a great sense of humor!  :lol

The symphony is done now.  It's intermission so not long before Clay comes on now!

One of the reporters that was at the concert last night said that last night's symphony was better. 

This venue is not decorated for the holidays like the venue was last night.

Jerome is there, the reporter just spoke to him and he said hello to all the cellstreamers!

The conductor said that they had a great rehersal with Clay today and that he is a true talent and just a great guy.

There are a lot of couples there tonight.  Lots of men actually.

There are people there will be trying to get clack.  But there are several people walking around, so they are hopeful that no one gets their camera taken away.

Tonight's venue is bigger than last night's. 

The audience is wearing predominantly red & black.

The audience is very, very excited tonight.

Hi Michelle


Lorraine, I watched AI Rewind tonight too.  The person you were talking about was Nigel Lythgoe (sp?) who I think is the executive producer of AI.  I loved what he said about Clay after he finished DLTSGDOM--"we knew we were in the presence of a star".

The lights are dimming...here we go!

Again tonight he was introduced as "Mulit-platinum recording artist" Clay Aiken

Dark suit with a purplish shirt and tie.  No sweater tonight.  He is wearing his rings.

His hair is still as long as it was last night and looks gorgeous.

It's time for the Christmas Waltz.

The connection on the cellstream isn't as clear as last night, but I can tell he is getting a great response from the audience.

Lots of cheering as he finished

The First Noel now.

He sounds great from what I can hear. 

Not really doing any kind of embellishments tonight with this one.

The high note at the end was awesome!  He had a huge smile on his face as he finished.

Jesse Vargas conducted that song.

Clay is talking now.

He's talking about his birthday again.

MCWL was gorgeous.  He got a lot of applause.

Singing Winter Wonderland.

He seems to be in really good voice tonight.

Seems to be having fun with WW tonight.


Quote
FROM From NYMom4Clay at the CB:

 
Asking the crowd how many times he has been in this theatre. He just feels at home he guesses - thought it was more than once for JBT.

Was never hear with classy musicians like these. Give them a round of applause.

He woke up at 2 - got off the bus in his PJs and walked in and they were all dressed up.

Said something about controversy. We've been a whole 2 weeks without controversy? Someone doesn't seem to get it. He's asking like where have you been for the past 2 weeks?

Did you think I was brazen?

it was intended to be rude but I didn't think it came off that way - or something like that.

Doing the show for the first time without those little things in his ears. UH oh. Well, he's going to be laid back.

If I have a request or if you have a request - well keep it to yourself.

Talking about choosing the songs for MCWL and Allison introducing him to one of his very favorite songs - MCWL.

I think he found another couple in the audience to talk to and they have been married for 33 years.

It's time for The Christmas Song

He's singing this very slowly and is probably sitting on the stool (he did last night)

His voice is very smooth and beautiful

From NYMom4Clay at the CB:

Asking if there is anyone here for their first Clay Aiken contest before. WOW - there are actually some.

Now asking who has been there before. I wish I could get this fast enough. He's teasing the new people and warning them how the diehard concert goers are going to have their names and license plate numbers and will be dragging them to every concert now.

Talking to the rarity - a gentleman in the first row!

He's married. First concert for both of them.


OMG! He is giving them so much grief - talking to the man and telling him how people would do just about anything beg, borrow, I don't know but it sounded like creep and claw to get him to switch seats.

He's talking to Ethel about how she meets people and about how she moves up her seat etc, etc.

Talking to the guy who survived to stay in the front row. I think this song is for them.

Chestnuts roasting on an open fire.

Clay is singing HYAMLC

He sounds amazing on this song.  It almost has a dreamlike feel to it when he sings it.

The orchestra sounds great backing him as well.

He changed up the end of HYAMLC...amazing and breathtaking!

The report is that he is just glowing

Clay stated earlier that he is not wearing his in-ear monitors tonight. He didn't specify why.

Now we're off on a Sleigh Ride! 

He did the "Giddy Up" motion again tonight.

He's chatting up a storm again.

He was talking about not knowing what the "big words" associated with reading music mean.  Today he learned what cresendo and decresendo mean.

Just asked someone on the 4th row why they have binoculars!

He just got a HUGE response to whatever he said.  Lots and lots of laughter!


Quote
FROM NY MOM AT CB:

Crowd laughing and cheering.

Banter time again.

He pointed to someone. Talking to security it sounds like. I think security has to sit on the floor What they don't give you chairs? You should talk to Ethel. She'll something that got huge laughs that drowned it out.

Talking about those Italian orchestral terms. Looking for his college professor - she brought her family - at least one is asleep.

They'res going to do a word of the day

today's word is crescendo

Rosebud says there's a girl carrying a sign across the stage.
Having the crowd repeat after him - crescendo - now Ricardo is demonstrating.

I can't wait to hear Thea's reaction to Clay looking at her.

Tiffany,
I am excited that you will see Clay in just a few days.  And you have a great seat, too.

Thanks Heather and Philly for keeping us updated.

He's so into talking to this crowd -

talking about what someone in the 4th row - Tina

I think she has binoculars



He's looking down his nose and wrinkling it at her.



That's FAR worse than what I did to Ripa


You must feel like you want to put your hand over her mouth.


Talking about all the people crawling up into other rows to get closer.

Asking Tina where Ann is from - she doesn't know.

They're laughing so hard I can't hear.


He tells her at this rate she's stolen the show so what does she want to hear.

Mary, Did You Know.


Okay - he'll sing it.

HTHAS/OCAYF was awesome.

The glory note at the end sounded flawless from what I could hear.

He's talking about Quiana and how she is staying home this Christmas to take care of her new addition.

Now he's going to sing the song he stole from her...

MGUCL

He is so smooth when he sings this song.

The way I like to describe it is heartfelt. 

Gorgeous, just absolutely gorgeous.

Hey Susy. Behave now when you are in the front row.  :wink

Oh I don't know if I'll be able to behave.... I was thinking of bringing a measuring tape and asking if I could measure his hands... LOL!  :lmao :lmao :lmao

Plus I'm plotting on something to wear so he'll really notice me. Hrmmmmmmmmm the tiara might just be in order for the night.

He's chatting up a storm again.   :lol

Right now he's talking about growing up in NC and how this next song used to be his favorite standard Christmas song, but it has become his favorite overall Christmas song.

O Come O Come Emmanuel

Again, this sounds great. 

This is one of those songs that just brings you to your knees with the power that he brings to it.

A very soft "rejoice" at the end.  Beautiful!

Clay is now talking about what he has learned over the past few years and about his involvement with the BAF & UNICEF.

He said UNICEF has changed his life and it also changes the lives of children all over the world.

Now he's talking about not saving love just for Christmas, but to spread the love every day.

DSIAFCD

I guess we are going to find out how his voice is really doing when we get to the glory notes!

"Oh baby that's a fact" was just like the end of the tour last year!!   :clap

His voice still sounds really strong. 

A couple of little embellishments added in tonight too.

Here we go with the glory note..

Sounded good to me!  He got a good response and added the "yeah" at the end of the glory note tonight.

A bit of a change up at the end too.

Huge applause and cheers from the crowd

Merry Christmas he says!

He is back and has started All Is Well.

The low notes are just wonderful

This seems like it might be a tad slower than it was last night.

So far so good, he hit the glory note in the middle of the song well.

He NAILED the glory note tonight from what I could hear!

HUGE screams and applause from the audience!

It's so great to have Clay back on tour!!

Well said.

Sounds like another wonderful concert and Clay was in fine form. Can't wait to hear the reports from all the people that went from here. Thea was so lucky and I'm happy for her.

THank you so much Heather for your great updates and the gorgeous pics.

Thanks everyone for the fun.

See you here back on Monday.

The reporter said that he held the note in DSIAFCD forever.  They didn't think it was ever going to end.

There was a standing ovation after OCOCE and a mini one after MDYK

He never took his jacket off.

There IS clack.  JoJo got the whole concert and some others also got clack.

Clay made a comment about the clack from last night and asked if they were getting enough tonight.

The reporter said he was better tonight than he was last night.

He was glowing again and was just hysterical.

They said the look on his face after he hit the glory note was priceless that he broke into a little grin.

Jesse Vargas directed tonight.  He did most of it sitting at the piano, but sometimes he stood up.

The venue was not full, but there was a great crowd.

Jamie, his cousin, came out on stage tonight with a sign carrying the "word of the day".

So glad that "All is Well" sounded great. Tiffany, I also love that song. It is one of my favorite holiday songs that he sings.

It was a wonderful cellcert. I loved being here and will try for more.  Thank you Heather for the cellcert info. And thanks Philly for letting us know from your listening (and thanks to Meesa for calling you  :wink). I can't wait to hear from our ladies that were there.

I just got back from our Claymaniacs post party!  What great fun and thanks to all who came.  :bouncy  We were basking in the glow of Thea!!  What a special night for a special lady.

One more final thought.....PICS and more PICS.  :eek  Meesa took over 500 and I took over 600!  Hope I got some good ones!  :lol  I'll see you all in a couple weeks when I get done downloading, drooling, resizing, drooling, tagging, drooling, uploading, drooling.....you get the idea!  :wheee

 :wave there Clandygirl!!!  :wink

Just wanted to check in and tell you all that Clay was SO amazing.....it was beyond words.  Several people that were there tonight were at the Waukegan concert, too, and as you have heard....his voice sounded a little strained from time to time.

But tonight, he was near perfect.  I cannot even tell you how I felt.  It was quite the Clayfix.

Clay was so happy at the end, he wiped his forehead to congratulate himself....that he hit the notes....and it was just wonderful.  Tonight was all about why we love this guy. 

Meesa will be working on a DVD as soon as possible.  You ALL have to see this one.   I have never seen  Clay better.

And hubby thought he was pretty good, too.   :wink

We have some good group pix that I hope someone will post very soon.  It was marvelous seeing everyone.

I just had to come tell you all, and hope you ALL get to see Clay on this tour.

I will post more about it in the next few days.  Like Clandy, I am basking in the glow at the moment.   :thud :thud :thud

Oh my.  :thud :thud :thud :thud :thud :thud :thud :thud

 After gazing into those gorgeous green eyes of Clay's for what seemed like an eternity, I can definitely tell you that I will be Clay's best fan always and forever!  He even did a little eyebrow thing with me!   :lol  :thud  JOHANNA who was my seatmate said I was just sitting there with this dazed look on my face, (which was probably due to the fact that he was standing right over us) and I think my mouth was just hanging open, and that's probably what attracted his attention.  Plus I think it was also my now famous "Cousin It" wig that made me stand out!   :lol   Both times he looked right at me I started giggling and then I was hiding my head in my lap, screaming,  and then touched the edge of the stage pretending that I was going to jump up and ravish him right then and there.   :thud :thud :thud.   

I so love this man.  I have always believed that  he has a huge heart and is very intuitive and sensitive to the needs of others.  But what happened to me last night has truly confirmed it.  I truly think he sensed that right now I needed something really wonderful to hold onto over the next few days. (next chemo is this coming Tuesday...and I've been warned by my oncologist that the 3rd one is supposedly the one that causes the worst side effects... :para).  I now have that memory (and that Clack thanks to our wonderful MEESA, CLANDY and others) to hold onto during the tough times ahead. 

Oh, it was so wonderful to see so many old friends and to make new friends as well.   Phil and I so enjoyed getting to know our dear WOODSTOCK and her wonderful husband Randy at both the pre-concert dinner and the post-party.  It was also amazing to see our wonderful CLANDY, JOHANNA, MARILYN, MEESA, WISC BARB and others from Claymaniacs, as well as some amazing clack-gathers from the Clayboard who joined us at our Baker's Square post-party.    I even made some new friends from other boards in the lobby of the Radisson this morning who recognized me from last night's "close encounter" with Clay.

I really can't "spill" any more, as this experience is so close to my heart right now.  I am truly grateful for my experience this weekend.  It is a memory to treasure always.

Thank you to those here on the thread who expressed their joy at my good fortune.  That is truly the mark of true friends to share in both the joys and the sorrows as we walk through life.  I am in awe of you and feel so blessed.  :ghug

Now I guess my "15 minutes" of fame is over and done with!  :lol  Hopefully there will be many, many more amazing experiences by other Claymaniacs to share during the cellcerts to come!   :shappy :shappy

There are just moments in our lives that we can close our eyes and re-live. I can close my eyes and feel just how warm Clay's cheek was against mine when he bent down and put his face against mine for my Meet and Greet picture  :thud (but I digress!  :lol ) Last night is a memory you'll have forever, and I'm so happy you had this experience!  :hugg

Thea - I didn't want to post what happened and spill the beans. I couldn't wait to read your words.  I think we are all still  :thud
Hubby really enjoyed meeting you and Phil, too, as well as all the other gals.  I think he was very impressed with our enthusiasm and also our closeness.  He has a new respect for why I spend so much time on this computer.  Will be thinking of you this week.   :hugg

I don't have much to add.  Just that Clay was SO himself, so playful and fun, and the voice was wonderful.  You never quite know what to expect, because each tour is so different from the others.  The fact that he can stand there and hold his own with NO back up singers and a full orchestra to complement him is a testament to his true talent. 

Again, as at previous concerts, I knew the song list ahead of time.....so I knew we were getting to the end....and it made me sad.  I could have sat there for hours and hours and never moved.  The concert was a gift to all of us from Clay. 

It was wonderful to see Thea, Clandy, Marilyn, Meesa, WisconsinBarb, grammaof6Barb, and Sarah again.  I met Johanna (Clayharmony) for the first time, and it was wonderful to meet her.  I have always enjoyed her posts, and told her so.  Just another special lady in our group of special people here.

Hubby also became our group photographer.   :wink  So if they don't come out very good, you know who to blame.   :lol

I posted quickly from the lobby computer before we left to come home today, and a woman walked by and saw Clay's face and asked me what Clay was doing.  OF COURSE we got into a conversation about the concert.  The desk clerk (a guy) was very interested in what we had to say.  I told them (the woman and her friend) that I was posting at Claymaniacs.  She said "We are Lecherous Broads."   :lol  I told her she had better not say that too loudly.   :roflmao  I love being a part of the Clay world!!!

I cannot wait to read everyone else's recaps, from this concert and all others.

I don't know you Thea but I enjoy reading your experience last night at the concert with Clay. If that ever happened to me I will never be able to move out of my seat for along long time. I hope you"ll have it easier to bear your next chemo.Being positive helps  to recover quicker .God bless.

Thea, how wonderful for you. That is so cool. I do believe that he knows what people need and I am sure that is why he made contact with you (that and because you are you  :smile). You are a terrific person who deserved this moment. I hope that it gets you through the next week and that you will make it.  :hugg

Hi you all,  :wave

Let me say, I was the lady who was honored - accorded the very special privilege to share in 'Thea's Thrill'...I have a recap gestating, so to speak, in my head...like Woodstock, I wanted to wait first on Thea...and to run part of it by her...so special, intimate was this evening with our dear Claydevotee, indeed!  I was incredibly fortunate  to have shared in this weekend of Clay at all, since most Californians were out luck!...so...details of the travails and triumphs are to come...just want to say what a joyful, jubilant Claymaniac time came my way...and my immense gratitude and heartfelt thanks to Marilyn and Meesa, who came to my aid repeatedly ... in spite of significant challenges snow et al imposed upon me, they helped me see them through each and every one... they exemplify Clay's own loving generosity.  Meeting Woodstock, and rejoining so many other Claymaniacs...what a delight...okay...I'll leave it for now...and return with my detailed version post shortly...
