"He has an audience that ranges from preteens to older ladies, and Clay Aiken put together a concert for all of them. For some, there was a little nostalgia; for others, a little schooling. Aiken performed songs from the 1950s to the present for his Jukebox Tour. If you're a hater, you'd say Aiken was ready for his Las Vegas show. If you just want to have fun with the kid who made good on American Idol, you would have had a ball at Aiken's Fraze Pavilion concert on Monday." Click HERE to read more!

"Take one spectacular venue on a rainy, hot summer night. Add 7000 Clay Aiken fans and you will have a mix that is sure to “Clayvert” the season ticket holders. That certainly was the case Monday night at The Wolftrap in Vienna, Virginia. Clay and his crew packed the two plus hour show with so many great tunes I can’t remember them all. Tunes from the past 50 years took the audience on a trip down memory lane before catapulting them into the future by rocking the house with “Back for More”, a strong contender from his next album."

"Clay Aiken may have been the runner-up on “American Idol 2,” but two years after he lost that competition, he has become the single most successful and popular reality TV show contestant ever. No other reality TV stars — and few stars of any other origin — have managed to build a fan base like that at the Peace Center last Wednesday [8/3]. Other reality show participants have recognizable names... and others have gone on to successful careers... but Clay has an audience like no other." Click HERE for more!

In a 25-city tour that celebrates five decades of rock ‘n' roll, Aiken could not have left out Presley. Performing for more than two hours, he belted out some of the last few decades' best-known songs — made popular by the Bee Gees, Prince and Marvin Gaye to name a few. He has proved — Randy, Paula and Simon, take note — that it is not the song choice that matters. It is the voice. And he can sing. He is at his best when he does powerful ballads, and there were plenty of those Friday night. Read more HERE!

"He transformed from geek to chic in front of millions. And now the voice over the phone seems to have changed too. It sounded more mature and seasoned than when TV viewers saw him on "American Idol." It was Clay Aiken, calling from Atlanta before a concert. Aiken had just a few minutes to talk in what was likely a flurry of short phone interviews to promote an upcoming tour, which makes a stop 8:30 p.m. Wednesday at Bethlehem's Musikfest."
