Clay Aiken to perform with GR Symphony Dec. 19
GRAND RAPIDS — "American Idol" star Clay Aiken will join the Grand Rapids Symphony for an all-holiday music program Dec. 19 at 7:30 p.m. in DeVos Performance Hall.

Aiken rose to fame in 2003 propelled by his appearance on the Fox Network's "American Idol" show. RCA offered him a CD deal and his debut single, "This is the Night" immediately claimed the number one spot on the Billboard charts. Recently he sold 392,000 copies and he possesses the record for the most sales of a single in one week. The previous record holder was Elton John for his "Candle In The Wind" performed in honor of the late Princess Diana in 1997.

His first CD "The Measure of a Man" sold 613,000 copies in October of 2003 during the first week of sales and eventually hit number one on the charts. Aiken's second CD, "Merry Christmas with Love," went platinum and was the best-selling album of the 2004 season. A third release, "A Thousand Different Ways" is scheduled to go on-sale Sept. 19. Orders for the album has made the CD number one of in pre-sales on Amazon.com.

"Christmas with Clay Aiken" will include an all-orchestral first half of Christmas favorites, followed by Aiken's performance with the orchestra.

Bugs Bunny cartoons projected above the orchestra, while the Symphony plays live accompaniment to "The Rabbit of Seville," "A Corny Concerto," "What's Opera Doc?" and more. "The Music of Pink Floyd," features a full rock band with vocals performing Floyd's timeless hits accompanied by the Symphony.

Making the Most of the "Idol" Experience
by Sarah Hall
Aug 30, 2006, 4:45 PM PT

Sure, winning American Idol is pretty much an aspiring singer's golden ticket to stardom. But even appearing on the show--let alone making the top three--allows a contestant who plays his or her cards right to extend their fame far beyond the requisite 15 minutes.

For example, while only the first place finisher is guaranteed a record contract, top contenders have excellent odds of inking deals of their own as well.

Soon after season five's winner Taylor Hicks signed his record deal in May, runner-up Katharine McPhee landed a deal of her own, followed in short order by fourth place finisher Chris Daughtry and sixth place finisher Kellie Pickler.

Hicks, McPhee and Pickler will even release their debut albums simultaneously on Nov. 14. (Who says the competition ends at the close of the season?)

The season five grads won't be the only ones continuing to battle one another on the charts. With the release of their respective third albums, season two winner Ruben Studdard and runner-up Clay Aiken are ready to go head-to-head once again, with Aiken's A Thousand Different Ways due out Sept. 19 and Studdard's The Return on Sept. 26.

Despite Studdard's Idol victory in 2003 (by the barest of margins), Aiken far outsold him on the charts, moving 613,000 copies of Measure of a Man in its first week and setting a record for alumni of the show.

When Carrie Underwood was voted "American Idol," topping Bo Bice in a highly contested competition, she couldn't have imagined the impact on her career. Sure, previous winner Kelly Clarkson and runner-up Clay Aiken proved that the contest can turn a wannabe into a somebody. But Underwood was surprised by all that came her way.

If he isn't drawing the numbers or generating the frenzy of a Justin Timberlake or Clay Aiken, Stern clearly is developing a following.

Micki ~ when you use AOL IM (instant messenger) there is a place to upload your own little icon (like an avie we have here) to personalize it and others you message with can see it.  MSN IM has that feature as well.
