Did anybody see the TVG special?
The choice of Sam Rubin and Angela Peel as commentators was bizarro. Sam Rubin was on the desk when Clay visited KTLA the day after the CD signing and Kimmel Live. He was nice to Clay, but I've also read his commentary when he isn't so nice. And Angela Peel.... WTH? Never heard of her, and had to go googling. Evidently she was on Pop Stars the year before Idol 1. Didn't make the cut either place. But, do you remember the Coke commercial last year, with the girl singing accapella? That was Angela Peel. But that still doesn't explain why she was there.
Anyway - to Clay. Wow...what a difference a year makes. In the photo shoot interview, he was all googly eyed still, not knowing why he has fans. Cut to today.... so calm, cool, collected. Lookin good. Hangin in the Big Apple, giving people directions.
I nearly fell over when they showed that old interview where he said the allegations are wrong. No....really???? Loved how they used the old interview; and I wonder why they did that when such bastions of journalistic integrity (GMA, LKL) failed to do so.
I think he wants a talk show yo. "Every Day" starring Clay Aiken! Weekday afternoons at 4 pm! Whoops...that's when Oprah is on. He wants it badly. He said so. And I would love to know why, because I don't watch talk shows unless he is on them!
So, while I would never get to watch him, because I will (hopefully be working,)I hope he gets his wish.
OH, one more thing - the "I don't always have to win" was such a wonderful thing to hear. Maybe some over the top fans will chill now.
If you missed it, the special is airing three more times this week.
