Clay's hot.

From #13:

No, but they probably do.

   Zing!

Glad you had a good day Susy girl!

I got an email from someone (not a Claymaniac!) that was POd because she thought the symphonic performances were an actual CA Christmas tour.  I think he's actually only going to sing a few songs during the second half of each concert, and she was not happy about that.

So, my question is - did you take it, from the initial information, as a full blown CA concert, or as a featured artist type of deal?

...just curious.

Hey Pamela!  Interesting.  Did she read Clay's blog about this?  I think he explained it pretty well that he was a 'special guest' and he said he would NOT be touring this year.  Did she miss this part or maybe she isn't a fanclub member? 

[Pamela]

I don't know, I don't know her and I hesitate to say more because she might be a lurker here.



I felt bad for her though. I would like everyone to know that these symphony performances are not Clay concerts, they are symphony concerts!  Featuring guest vocalist, Mr. Clay Aiken.

[Her]

Pamela, just Clay being featured, definitely!

EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE

Interview today, wish me luck!

[stargazer]

Good luck on your interview Jayne.

Pamela. I think it was pretty clear that the concerts were symphony events and Clay was a guest performer.

[lovinclay]

I think Clay was very clear on the fact that he is a guest performer for they concerts.  The problem is, some of the venues lead you to believe it's a Clay Aiken event.  Some are even billing it as Christmas with Clay Aiken or a Clay Aiken Christmas.....something like that.  (Probably to insure ticket sales       )   The Williamsport concert announcement was a perfect example.  So, yeah, I can see where some would take it to be a Clay concert. 

Might I add.....even a little Clay is better than nothing!  And, aint nothing wrong with adding a little culture to our lives.  I've never been to a symphony before.  (Well, maybe in middle school with the band.....LOL)

WE DEFINITELY KNEW IT WAS GUEST PERFORMANCES BECAUSE CLAY SAID SO. AND IF YOU CHECK THE SITES, THEY SAY .............ORCHESTRA WITH CLAY AIKEN.

THERE WAS FULL DISCLOSURE!!

MICKI, I agree!  And as a long-time "patron of the arts" along with my hubby, I can attest to the fact that Christmas Symphonic concerts are usually very "light" and the music is usually quite recognizeable.  (The "Nutcracker Suite", for instance is well-known and delightful to hear!).  And you may even get a chance to stretch your legs before Clay comes out by standing up by singing a rousing rendition of "The Hallelujah Chorus".  (Change of lyrics:     "Hallelujah!  Hallelujah!  Clay is so hot!  He is so fine!  I lu-ust after him"!    )

[Sundancer]

  Zing!

Ooo, I'm zingy! I like that.

[Sundancer]

Go, Her and Marilyn!

Knock 'em dead!

[aikenseeker]

Morning all!

TGIF! I mean YAY! It's Friday!

Good luck to Marilyn and Jayne! You'll both be smashing!!!

And as for the concerts I think Clay made it quite clear from his blog that he wasn't touring this year but that he'd be making some appearances... either way, I'm just going to be happy to see Clay again. Sigh, I just wub that man!!!!

[claydevotee]

TGIF! Woo!

I finally get to pick up a new phone today. I'll make sure it has Sony Music Box on it. And today is my second oldest nephew's 7th birthday. I'm beginning to feel old.
