 :wave :wave    Hi Deanna, Pamela, Heather, Gwenn, Susy and everyone else joining in.

Heather, are you feeling all right now?  I sure hope so.

I love cellcerts but that is just one more excuse for me not to get anything done.   :bigsmile

I would love to be there tonight but for once I let my head over rule my heart - which doesn't happen very often where Clay is concerned.  If we can't be there, this is the next best thing.

Christmas with Clay 'American Idol' idol to give holiday concert at Genesee Theatre
November 30, 2006 By DAN MORAN DMORAN@SCN1.COM

WAUKEGAN -- A little more than three years ago, Clay Aiken was just another kid with a voice going up against Simon Cowell. Today, having achieved his professional dreams, he is yet another star being stalked by a media helicopter.

On the phone Wednesday morning from his home base in North Carolina, Aiken said he had just conducted a media tour of the house he built nine months ago -- a tour he arranged as a bit of revenge against a local flying news crew.

"It started during this whole Kelly Ripa scandal," he said, referring to the tempest sparked earlier this month when he silenced and then outraged Ripa by placing his hand on her mouth while co-hosting "Live With Regis & Kelly."

"There was a news crew that was kind of rude about it -- they came up and rang my bell (and) flew their helicopter over my house," he said. "I thought, 'How rude is that?' So I called up their competition and invited them to come over to my house for a tour."

Though he laughed as he told the tale, Aiken was asked if he could do without the downside of his quick rise to fame. "Yeah," he said, "but I'm learning how to deal with it."

The "American Idol" star, who celebrates his 28th birthday today, is also learning to pace himself through life on the road. Friday night's appearance at the Genesee Theatre will be the first of 18 shows in 22 days, culminating Dec. 23 in Greensboro, N.C.

How will he pull off singing at the top of his register that often over that period of time? "Don't ask me how, because I've never done it before," he said. "When I did the first 'Idol' tour, we did, I think, 50 shows in about 60 days, so typically you do about five shows a week. This is six shows a week or more."

Adding to the challenge, Aiken said, will be performing at each stop with a local symphony. At the Genesee, he will be working with the FullScore Chamber Orchestra.

"Oh, my gosh, I'm going to tell on myself here, but we won't be doing any rehearsing ahead of time," he said. "We do have the same conductor who travels with us, but we're going to fly by the seat of our pants. (We'll) cross our fingers and hope it goes well."

Aiken then joked that "people will hear that and be like, 'Oh, I can't wait to see that train wreck.'" But he added that he will have the advantage of working with familiar material, having spent the last three Christmas seasons conducting some type of holiday tour.

"The first year, December of '03, I spent quite a bit of time leading into Christmas doing 'jingle jams' and (promotions) for radio stations. That did not feel like Christmas at all," he said. "But the last two years (with the Joyful Noise tours) and with a tour like this, people are in the Christmas spirit and we're doing all Christmas music, so it's kind of exciting.

"What I'm really excited about is that usually you just tour with a band; this is a full orchestra, and we're really going to focus on just the music," he said, adding that he has a tough time nailing down a favorite holiday song. "It's tough because every year it becomes something different. This year, I like 'Merry Christmas With Love' and 'Don't Save It All for Christmas,' which I close the show with. And then 'Oh Come, Oh Come Emmanuel' is probably my favorite standard."

FROM CV:

I just got a phone call from LauraQ. There was NO security searching done. Everyone got into the venue with everything.......if you know what I mean. 


From the cellstream I am hearing that there are signs that say no recording devices, but they were able to get all cameras and recorders in, so we'll see what happens when the show starts.

The orchestra is warming up right now.

Meesa is the reporter!  :smile

Pamela, thanks for the radio interviews.  I had not heard them.   I've got to wait just as long as you do before I see Clay and I was thinking that will make it one day over a year since I last saw him.  He's got to do better than that.   :wink

Lorraine, good to see you.  I evidently haven't been around the same places you have lately.

Info about Christmas music spins from moonhead at the CH.  Radio is playing Clay's Christmas music!

Quote
The 7 day period ending 11/30/06 saw 1787 spins for Clay's Christmas songs, an increase of 50 spins from the 7 day period ending 11/29/06. More songs were moved from current to recurrent, so the charts will now reflect that. On the Mainstream AC Chart, JTTW is #92 with 19 spins, HYAMLC is #126 with 13 spins, DSIACD is #135 with 12 spins, and SN is #204 with 6 spins. On the Mainstream AC Chart recurrent rankings, MDYK is #8 with 458 spins, OHN is #20 with 253 spins, WW is #26 with 195 spins, MCWL is #67 with 50 spins, SR is #76 with 36 spins and HTHAS/OCAYF is #79 with 32 spins. There are several new Format Starters and Leaders. On the Hot AC Chart, WW is #194 with 4 spins and MCWL is #213 with 3 spins. On the Hot AC Chart recurrent rankings, MDYK is #146 with 18 spins and OHN is #182 with 10 spins.

Philly's in the house! 

Lorraine, that's fantastic about your local station playing Clay.  YAY!

Speaking of radio - there's some new clack in our download section - a radio ad for the Hartford CT show!

Directions:  Click the HOME tab on the navigation bar above the shout box
                   Click CLACK link under CONTENT
                   ....Download !....

It's just that simple.

BTW, we'll be adding more downloads there as well, so be sure and check the Forum Updates thread often. 

How about a flashback?  Fantastic graphic by Fountaindawg at the CH.

"Clay Aiken will be coming out." (Audience screams) "If that doesn't warm your heart, nothing will."

I'm sure one way or another people will sneak in a camera. Hope no one flashes Clay either. I was surprised Clay hasn't said anything like last year to allow the cameras but no flash.

Frankie- I realy hope no too. WE need clack for the people that can't see him and hope people can be respectful this time for Clay.

Thank you Tiffany!  I am beyond sick and tired of people being disrespectful to Clay.  It's unbelievable some of the things people do, and I don't even think they realize just how rude and disrespectful they are.  And sometimes, it's his own fans.  Amazing.

Thanks lorraine I sure could use the raise money. This is the first year I have actually had any christmas money. I bought my sister two dvds that were on sale at target and a bottle of perfume. I have to find something else for dad I got him a FSU christmas ornament. We are tradeing stockings at work the cheap way to do a christmas exchange where we buy 20 of the same thing and put one in everyones stocking.


Thanks pam

everyone just contune to pray. I got to talking with the day shift leader and she told me to meantion to my boss that I was interested in the job. Which I did. I just told him I would like to be considered for the night shift leader job. He said sHannon you are already being considered, and he told this other guy that he was considering a couple of people. So it sounds like I am ahead of this guy. I am acting shift leader, I was team leader so if you go down the line the job should be mine.



I will be back gotta go see if sister can get the cat to come in.

Ok I am done with my rant.

Joyce - i really do not enjoy pre-parties. the only one I ever enjoyed was in Kansas City, and that is just because the KC bunch is so great. Meesa and the other members are everything fan club members should be - they work so hard for TBAF. I'm usually in Clay mode before a concert - I don't want anything to eat, and I don't want to talk - I want to see Clay!!!! :lol I think there is going to be a post-party tomorrow night, and I think that is a much better idea! Wish i was going to be there - so many members of our Board  are going!

I can't believe that I am going to miss this tour, and I would love hearing the symphony part of the concert as well as Clay!  WAH!!!  :cry OK, enough of the pity party for me.  Maybe, somehow, I will still see one of these concerts.  If not, this is the first tour I will miss.  WAH!!!  :cry Sorry!!

Thanks, Heater, for the reports.

The pictures are all great.  I will have to come back to this thread and save some of them.

 :wave Pamela, Lorraine, Shannon, Philly, Tiffany, Tammy, Lora, Joyce, Frankie,  and everyone here.

Congratulations to everyone getting to go to a concert.  Now, if anyone knows of some good tickets.............. :slick I might be interested!!!

He just nailed the end of TFN

Thanked the crowd and said Merry Christmas

Said his birthday was yesterday and a lady on the plane said he was 29...he said he was almost ready to go home :lol

Seems to be in a good mood.

He said he is nervous because he has never performed live with a full orchestra.  He's very excited. 

He said don't jump up and put your hand over my mouth because that's just rude!   :roflmao

Chicago has had a lot of snow and Raleigh doesn't get snow like that EVER!  The snow really has him in the Christmas spirit though.

He's talking about Allison and how we worry about what color socks he's wearing (they are BLACK & GREEN)

Singing MCWL now.

He seems to be changing notes up in several places tonight.  He's done it in all the songs so far tonight.  Very well done.

Jesse Vargas is playing the piano, the orchestra's conductor is still conductng.

Trying to get a report about whether his hair is brushed back or if he has bangs

Singing WW now

Pink says audience is packed, packed, packed.

Conductor said Clay was coming up later and audience gave big screams. Orchestra looked tickled at that.

Orchestra was very good. They got a standing O led by Ethel.

Bus came in and the big screen TV was showing CNN.

Crowd is pretty even mix of gender, lots of couples. Some very dressed up.

Pink says a woman is in the front with a very low top who will sit right in front of Clay.

They don't think the dogs are with him.

No sighting of Jerome yet.

The grand piano, not used by the symphony now has a player in front of it. I don't know who it is. There's a stool on the side of the piano, onle place for clay to be,

TONS and TONS of Screams! Multi-Platinum Recording artist, Clay Aiken!

I feel like crying. Clay is on stage again -- in front of his fans.....

He sounds absolutely wonderful but I'm dying to know what he's doing to make them laugh so much!!

Lorraine,

I will have to check out the ticket sales again!  It's just that winter and the weather up in the northeast is so unpredictable, too. :eek

Of course, there's Jacksonville, FL.  I could show up at Frankie's and hitch a ride to Florida with her!!  :lol


I would think that a symphony would not allow any recording devices or cameras, but they may have relaxed their rules with Clay.  I guess we will know soon.

I love him. He sounds great. EEEEE!!!! He's back!

More and more screams!
I love him. He's talking... "I'm not that classy. I'm scared"... LOL

He sounds like he's tearing up TFN. I think he missed performing. I hope he doesn't blow his voice in the first concert. *g*

He sounds so damn happy to be up on the stage singing - right where he belongs!

Thank you very much, Merry Christmas.

It was my birthday yesterday, the lady on the plane thought Ah was 29. I think I look 21.

Who agrees that I look 21.

I'm a little nervous this evening, I've never actually performed live with a full orchestra.

They are all dressed for the night, I'm not that classy.

(I can't catch all the words but everyone is laughing.)


Said 5 people wanted their picture taken with my hand over their mouth.

Clay: "Waukegan, who here is actually FROM Waukegan?" It was my birthday yesterday. Tghe lady on the plane thought I was 29. I felt like going home. I thought I looked like 21.

I'm a little nervous this evening...I've never performed live with a full orchestra... they're all dressed nice... sleek... I'm not that classy, so I'm a little scared.

They are using big words, like ?? and Leonardo... I just say things like slower, faster, out... lol.

We're going to do soemthing different this year.

OMG, he referenced RIPAGATE. :LOL

He's a comedian!

Told people not to go around sticking their hands over people's mouths -- it's RUDE!

He has the Xmas spirit early because of the snow.

MCWL (Merry Christmas with Love).

Clay was talking with someone in the front who was giving a cellcert. He talked a lot about that, and the woman must have a friend on the line from far away because there was lots of screaming, and then Terry yelled something like, "Me too! Georgia!"  :para

Clay was very animated during WW.

Talking to a guy in the audience named Jim who is with a lady named Carol and Jim is Carol's enabler!  :lol 

Drove 7 hours from Ohio to get there and she slept the whole way. 

Clay says they are stealing his thunder and they are also going to be in Detroit. 

They have been married 41 years.  Singing a song just for them.

Singing The Christmas Song (sat on a stool)

Oooo, he quickened and jazzed up WW.

I can't believe how amazing he sounds. Maybe not rehearsing really works!  


Maybe he was saving his voice by not rehearsing?

People got in late. Jim and Carol.

Drove 7 hours through the snow

Jim, did she pay you?

Jim says Carol slept the whole way.

She's got friends on the phone and he is teasing her.

This more than just the Clay singing show, he's bantering away.

HYAMLC was gorgeous.  The audience gave him a lot of applause for it.

He's singing Sleigh Ride now and he did the "giddy up" motions!!   :bouncy

The cellcerter says he looks SO HAPPY!!

He wants to know if they like his shoes.  He had them shined just for the front row people since they have to look at his shoes all night!

Telling the audience how great the orchestra is and how professional they are and how he can't even read music and it's hard enough for him to know what he has to sing.

They did a brief run through this afternoon.

He's very comfortable singing with the orchestra...talking about where all the orchestra is from.  He's extremely funny tonight.

Is anyone actually from Waukeagan?  If you are you should go check out the orchestra tomorrow when they do a sing along.

Took off his jacket.  I guess he was actually wearing a suit.  He said he's gaining weight.  :lol

He's not sure how to get into the mood of the next song because it's quite a drastic change from his banter...

Into MDYK

Prissy - come hitch a ride - I have to warn you, though, that the trip home will be a forced march - we are spending the night on the way to Jacksonville - the concert is on Dec. 21 - we will have to drive all day to get home on the 22 (Lewis predicts a 16 hour drive IF we stop to eat!) - then then our whole family will be here the next morning for Christmas! I'm going to have everything wrapped and under the tree, and all of the food bought before we leave for Jacksonville! As I said, I would not do this for anybody in the world except for His Clayness!

At the end of OCAYF he went down instead of up and then added that last "the lord" up high.  WOW! 

He's talking about this being the 3rd time he's toured for Christmas.

He said that if you have been here the last 2 years you know he really messed up the last part of the song.  (Sounded okay to me!)

He just introduced Jesse.  Said something that made the crowd crack up.  Says that Jesse is his translator because he doesn't know anything about directing an orchestra.

Clay says the highlight for him the last couple years has been Quiana singing MGUCL, but this year he stole it and he might think about giving it back eventually.  :lol

He is SO good with this song.  Just gorgeous, beautiful and heartfelt.

He's asking the audience what their favorite Christmas song is.  Someone said OHN.  He said OH MY!  I forgot that I sing that one.  We didn't add that one to the list.

Made mention that Ethel is there and that a lady in the 2nd row is using binoculars.

Talking about how in NC at church they used to have the "Hanging of the Greens".  You always turned to page 234 in the hymnal and it was always his favorite song, O Come O Come Emmanuel

Clay thinks he's very funny tonight!   :lmao 

Just asked who someone came to see, him or Jesse!   :lol

He says since this is his favorite song y'all better clap at the end!

As good as Emmanuel was last year, I think this might be better. 

His voice is so strong and just awesome.

He got very soft and quiet at the end.  Breathtaking.

Talking about the other song he used to end the program with and how he's been involved in organizations and programs in the last 3 years that he is very proud of.  Talking about BAF now and the locations of the camps.

Now he's talking about UNICEF.  He didn't know anything about it until he got involved.  Okay, he trick-or-treated for them when he was a kid, but that's it.  Giving stats about children around the world.

He says it took him until he was about 24, but he knows now that it's better to give a gift than to receive one.

Now talking about how it just doesn't have to be around the holidays...we should spread the love and cheer all year.

I just love that he mentioned the BAF and UNICEF before DSIAFCD - so appropriate, and I think he should mention them for their own benefit.  I sometimes wonder if he feels too much like he's tooting his own horn when he talks about his altruistic endeavors.  He shouldn't.  Information about helping others deserves to be talked about - and often!

Heather, you are fantastic tonight!  Thank you SO much for bringing all the info, not to mention your gorgeous pics!

All Is Well sounds very much like the CD version.  I'm not sure he's into changing it up yet.

Got great applause for the note he holds in the middle of the song.

The glory note is amazing!!!!!!!!  He hits such a high note that it cuts out on the stream from time to time.

He had a handheld mic. 

He sat on a stool at times, walked around some and stood at the mic some.

I guess he had a litte trouble with the glory notes in both DSIAFCD and All Is Well.  We couldn't tell that on the stream, but the reporter said Clay knew he was going to have trouble before he started both songs.

Good mix of patrons and Clay fans, but probably more Clay fans.

Great ovation.

Looked gorgeous.  The suit was pin stripped.  Black boots. 

He actually said at one point "I think I'm pretty funny"

There WILL BE clack.  No one came around to stop people.  Although Scarlett got her camera taken away so she figures the clack is gone.

The hair was similar to Snowflake hair.

Yes, All Is Well was the last song.

One of Clay's friends texted him and said he looked good since he had gained some weight.  He said that he was now "29 and fat" :lol  He said everyone would go back and talk about it on the boards.

The pants fit VERY well.  Okay, PERFECT!

They continue to talk about how hysterical he was!

Thanks to everyone who brought us this cellcert tonight.  I had a great time tonight ladies.  Thanks for all the fun and the purty pictures.

Sounds like it was an awesome show tonight.  Clay is back were he belongs--on the stage entertaining people.

We should all have wonderful Clay dreams after this.  I'm going to have to go to bed and try to get some sleep.  I just about fell asleep at my desk today.  Could be due to the fact that I watched the repeats of Clay on Tyra both Wednesday and Thursday nights so I only got about 3-4 hours of sleep.  I just had to watch them again even though I have it d/l and on tape  :bduh  :bduh

Don't tell my sons or they will probably have me committed.

Have a great day tomorrow and I'll see you tomorrow night.

I got to hear Clay LIVE!!!

 :purpbana :purpbana :purpbana

Sarah (sjlogghe) gave me a cellcert for 2 songs!  HYAMLC and Sleigh Ride.  Thank you, thank you, thank you!!!  This really meant a lot to me to be able to hear him sing tonight.  I would normally have traveled to Waukegan and Merriville from Minneapolis for these concerts, however there is a training seminar tomorrow for the MN Jaycees that I just can't miss.  It was a difficult decision to make, but one that I knew had to be made.  So, unfortunately no LIVE Clay for Molly this year.   :sad  I really miss spending time with all of you guys who are there!!!

Sarah had wonderful timing tonight too.  I was at a MN Timberwolves game this evening, but she called while I was on my way home!!  There I was speeding down the freeway listening to that glorious voice, with a great big grin on my face.   The Vox sounded so strong, pure and beautiful.  It was even exilerating to hear the loud cheers after the songs!!

Thank you again to Sarah for thinking of me.   :hugg  I owe you big time!!

spot was sitting across the aisle from us. She still had her camera at the end of the concert. Scarlett's was taken away as well as MINE! I wasn't even using flash, but got it back at the end of the concert with clack still there. I'll post some tomorrow if I can. The computer here at our hotel doesn't let us put our memory card in. I think I have at least 300-400 pics. And about 3 videos.

 :wave guys!!!
I decided to be virginal like GWENN last night....since my concert is tonight.  :shappy :shappy :shappy But when my hot flash woke me up   :bang  I decided to peek in after all.  And I'm glad I did.  Sounds like a wonderful evening, and I'm so glad everyone made it there.

At 10 pm I heard on a Chicago radio station that it was freezing rain in Waukegan.

We got a foot of snow here Thursday night and Friday morning.  It stopped about noon.  But they say the roads are still treacherous with ice underneath the snow.  I hope we drive out of it soon on our way to Merrillville.  If all goes well, we should be able to leave sometime this morning.

 :clap :clap :clap  Great job Pamela, Heather, and Deanna for putting this together.  Great info. 

I hope that he adds O HOly Night for tomorrow night...now that he remembers that he sings that song.  That would be awesome.  So glad he sang All Is Well.  But Emmanuel remains my favorite.

I was listening to it with hubby and my daughter today and I started to cry.  Yes, Beth and Lorraine, I often cry hearing Clay sing, especially Christmas music.  So my daughter proceeded to give hubby instructions on how to care for me at a Clay concert.   :roflmao  It was pretty funny.  She told him he might have to pick me up in the aisle.   :lol   He's not sure what to think now.

Deanna - So glad you got out your time zone map for these concerts.   :roflmao  To be honest, I don't know if Merrillville is on Central or Eastern time because Indiana recently changed their laws and when we were in Indiana camping in Oct. they were on Eastern time. I guess someone needs to check that out.

BTW, I kinda like Flying By the Seat of my Pants Tour like Lora.

I'm even more excited!!!  Thanks, everyone!!!
Woodstock :bouncy

I haven't seen it mentioned anywhere, or maybe I missed it, but Clay DID come out after the concert. There was maybe 20 of us standing out there, in the freezing cold, and Jerome told us it wouldn't be long when he brought Raleigh and Durham out, letting Raleigh go potty :)

There was ice on the ground so Jerome said "The only thing I need you to do before I bring him out is go all the way up to the door, single file like you are now, cuz there's ice right here(on the side of the bus) and I don't want anyone to fall." So we all moved and about 5 minutes later Clay was brought out. He took the time and went down the line shaking hands with each person...even my mom! I kept telling her all the way home "You got to touch Clay!!!" I did get a half of a pic at that point...my camera was so cold that the lens would only open half way *cries*

Yikes!  I hope he doesn't get any sicker from being out in that cold weather!  But whatta nice gesture....whatta guy!

Hi everyone, I'm sorry to say I missed Clay's concert last night, I was supposed to meet Meesa there, so I called and let her know I wasn't going to make it as soon as I found out. Here's what happened, my mother was going to come with me even though she doesn't really care for Clay, and as a belated birthday gift for me, she reserved a car on her credit card to take us there safely, since it was supposed to snow, and we'd never been to Waukegan before. Well as the threat of snow grew worse she became worried that we would become stranded, either coming or going from the Genesee theater, I told her I thought everything would be fine, and that she didn't have to go, I would just take the car. Well, she decided to cancel the reservation Thursday night, which by then was so close to when I would've needed the car, I couldn't get another resvation. I couldn't drive myself, I had no idea how to get there, it's 30 miles from my house and the roads were icy. I even tried for a cab, but the roads were so icy they couldn't even guarantee one would come. So thanks to the weather and my mom, I missed the show. If I had known this I wouldn't have spent over $200.00 for tickets, or I would've given them to someone else to enjoy. Plus I bought a new outfit too. I'm so unbelievably, unimaginably, sad right now, especially after reading how amazing everyone said it was, like I knew it would be. I just feel sick, to have missed Clay's only tour of the year, I can't even sleep, I just feel miserable. I hope everyone who was there had a great time, and arrived there and back home safely.

Claygirl- I was buzzing by...and saw your post. I can understand how you must feel. I, too, would have felt sickended by the whole experience...and I am verry sorry that happened. Your mom may have been right to not want to drive. You can't look back on that. The roads, from what I have read, were bad. Safety was her first concern...

Losing the money, feeling deflated from the anticipation of attending, and just being plain bummed or mad...that will pass with time. What wouldn't - would be if you were injured in any way.

I DO hope you get another opportunity, if not to this concert, but the next tour. (I am not able to attend this one either, due to locations and dates of the concerts, bummer, first tour I will have missed also)...


Please see the note under your avie...it will sort of fit under this circumstance and is something we ALL need reminded of from time to time.

Lora

I CAN'T TELL YOU HOW  SORRY I AM FOR YOU THAT  YOU HAD TO MISS THE CONCERT--ONLY THOSE WHO REALLY LOVE CLAY CAN UNDERSTAND HOW YOU FEEL  :hugg I AM SURE IN THE FUTURE YOU WILL HAVE MANY CONCERTS TO ATTEND & MAYBE GET A M&G WITH CLAY

 Lora- Angela- thanks so much for your posts,  :thx they made me feel a little better.  :hugg Lora- I know my mom was probably right in being worried for our safety with the icy roads and all, she even told me she would've went with me if the weather hadn't been so bad... it was just at the time, after reading how many people made it to the concert despite the weather, I couldn't help but wonder if we would've made it there all right too, and that I missed the concert for nothing. You're right about my disappointed feelings passing, they're starting too, I'm just trying to enjoy reading everyone else's story's about the shows Clay's done so far. I was a little worried about the bad roads myself, I would rather have missed the show then for me or my mom to have been hurt in anyway...I couldn't forgive myself if that had happened. So sorry you have to miss this tour also...you know I understand how disappointing that is!  :lol I actually have thought about the note under my avie throughout this, I have faith I'll see Clay again someday.  :bigsmile Angela- I knew someone here would understand how I feel about missing Clay,  :hugg that was something my mother couldn't do, she doesn't get why I was (am) so sad and upset,  :cry :sad I hope they're be more concerts to attend, it all depends if Clay comes close to where I live again, and a M&G, I don't know if I'm lucky enough for that to happen, I wish though!  :clayfan ~Kelly~  :fangirl
