[ACcountryFan]

It's about time!!! even though it perhaps was the pageant that caused all the searches?? it's nice to see him at #1 after weeks and months of Paris Hilton or the Simpsons/Nick Lachey on top.

From Clay Nation News.

THIS RADIO STATION IS GREAT!!---I CALL THEM BETEEN 2-3 TIMES A WEEK & ALWAYS MAKE A REQUEST,  OF COURSE ALWAYS  A SONG FROM CLAY.
I HAVE TALKED TO KERRY, TOM HOLT, KEVIN CLANCY & JACKIE BRUSH--VERY FRIENDLY & THEY DO LIKE CLAY.

I just emailed Kery Mathieson about Clay's appearance at the Big E that I attended with my two daughters.
We stood to the left side of the stage for four hours, where it was wall-to-wall Clay fans, this being a little overwhelming to my daughter Lynn, who felt claustrophobic. But yet, the concert was infectious, and she said that it was a wonderful concert and that she wanted to stay to the end, in spite of the closed-in feeling.  My other daughter Kelly, who had never seen Clay said, when I asked her how she liked the concert, that it was the best concert that she had ever attended. And I, of course, had waited for so long to see Clay again, since his Worcester appearance, thought that I had died and gone to heaven. We didn't want it to end.
Thank you Clay for coming, and thank you Comcast for bringing him to New England, to a Fair that is attended by so many from the six states that it comprises. As my little grandson said to his mom Kelly, one day, "Mom, Isn't life good."
And indeed, it is...

Just another small Clay mention from the article Ryan Malcolm wrote that Deanna posted earlier:

Just after the tour I was told I had to go back to London again for another show.

This time, it was a concert at Royal Albert Hall for my management company 19 Management's birthday.

I was so happy that I was chosen to be on the bill. Out of all the World Idols it was only Clay, Kelly and Will Young and myself who were asked to perform. This was great, another chance to win Kelly over. Ha ha.

Also on the bill was Annie Lennox and Victoria Beckham -- you know her as Posh Spice.

I remember sitting in the hallway of the theatre with Clay and Kelly. Victoria came through and the security guards pushed us out of the way. I was like, "Who is that?" Then they told me. I was like, "Oh really?"

THE IDOL ZONE

Clay's horoscope for the day:

From Yahoo Astrology:

Quickie:
Don't go overboard with a new health regime. You can't eat tofu all the time. (yeah right, like he EVER eats tofu???)

Overview:
You're in the mood for a formal -- a formal chat, a formal introduction and if all goes well, a formal dinner. Don't worry. Formal doesn't necessarily mean 'stuffy.' It does mean 'elegant,' though.

Escape from all of the things you are supposed to do and give yourself a break. It's a good day for a massage or doing something silly you haven't thought of since childhood -- a game of foursquare, anyone? Treat yourself as nicely as you deserve -- heck, go the extra mile and be even nicer. There are times when being a responsible adult means taking a little time to play. It'll refresh and rejuvenate you.

[aikenseeker]

Clay's Daily Love Horoscope:

Daily Flirt:
If something seems too good to be true, well, there's a good chance it probably is. Some things that appear to be gold are just wrapped in gold foil. Sneaky packaging!

Daily Couples:
Your partner is out to persuade you to something you already agree with. Get a few treats for yourself by not giving in immediately.

Daily Singles:
Smooth talkers may get your attention. Flirt away, but trust your gut instinct -- there may not be much behind the talk. Pay attention -- a humbler, more genuine contender may be lurking nearby.

[aikenseeker]

Clay's Careere Horoscope (yahoo breaks this down into three categories)

Be careful with money and spending. There's a deal that seems too good to be true, and it most likely is. Take extra time for research and you'll make the right decision.
