Every day with Clay...here's news...and 're-news' (recycled Clay articles worthy of another read...) for today's reading pleasure:
From the Ideal Idol...brought this here to be enjoyed again...captures Clay so beautifully, don't you agree?CLAY-
His smile warms hearts and breaks them
His laughter brings joy to those who hear it
His gentle teasing makes us laugh at ourselves
His eyes share love and hide pain
His heart cares for those others forget
His stunning voice melts the coldest heart.
His name is Clay Aiken, and we have waited
for him for a
very
long
time.
It is still possible to purchase Merry Christmas, With Love. Amazon carries an enhanced version of it, just released as of August, 2009. Here's the link and the product review of it:http://www.amazon.com/Merry-Christmas-Love-Clay-Aiken/dp/B002JG67IM/ref=cm_cr_pr_product_topClay Aiken may look wide-eyed and unassuming, but when it comes to figuring out what his fans want for Christmas, he's got it all figured out. On Merry Christmas with Love he so cannily anticipates the musical sugarplums dancing in the heads of his devotees that you half expect him to climb down the chimney and hand-deliver it. Key to the dozen-song collection's appeal is its straightforwardness: Parting ways with the sea of celebrities who use holiday discs as an excuse to cut loose, Aiken banishes irony and coyness so absolutely here that certain carols--the medley "Hark the Herald Angels Sing/O Come All Ye Faithful" and "Silent Night" especially--take on church-like tones; expect tree trimmers to put aside their tinsel and contemplate the meaning of the season. Yet don't expect them to miss out on any merriment. On less chestnutty selections like the ballads "Mary Did You Know" and Celine Dion's "Don't Save It All for Christmas Day," Aiken lets it rip, reining in a passion and pure-heartedness so believable that fans will wish he, rather than the guy in the red velvet suit, were Santa Claus. -Tammy La Gorce
