Clay Aiken - "Measure of a Man"

[stargazed]

After all these years .....

He was so damn cute and talented. This remains a very special moment for the Clay nation.

[Vlican]

amazing voice

[bcc2006]

I was a huge claymate back in the day and I was at this concert. It was a very cool experience. The concert was phenomenal. Thank you so much for posting this, it brings back a lot of great memories! I'm more into rock and metal these days but I'll always remember the impact this dude had on me. Great voice.

[iabaly]

field of gold......voice of gold.....`

May you be with us always Clay! Litlle drummer boy...

grandma!

[1arielone]

He is so damn cute. I just love how he is so humble and appreciates his fans. He is truly a sweet man. Even Quiana had tears. What a beautiful man inside and out!!!

[reaganrocksdaworld]

It is videos like this that make me remember why I loved Clay so much years ago.

I do wish he would sing again, there just arnt many genuine artists like him around.

[cbau2058]

its so touching when Clay grabs Quiana's hand, and you see her (i think) wiping tears and fanning herself....

:)

[AIFanPA]

[miraclay]

[triskubitch]

[americanidolfan23]

I dont know why,but I am so thankful for this beautiful man and his beautiful voice:)Thank You God for Clay,I love him dearly and hope to meet him someday!!! What an awesome video,I felt like I was there just by watching it!

[disclaimer05]

I was there for that. Haha, that was amazing. I wasnt too far from the stage either.

[clayaikenlover08]

I remeber this now...im the gian head on the

1st row lol...ive seen clay...wow...ive say at least over 20 times...When everyone stopped

singing I was still singing. Clay is amazing

and youve bought back on of my memories. Ive been attending his concerts since I was 10..

Clays amazing and SEXY!!!!!!!!!!

[elricbrat]

Never mind the CDs, radioplay, Tv appearances or music downloads - there in nothing like seeing and hearing the man live, and for that I am glad to know about Clay Aiken in this lifetime. He is best when onstage where his gift truly shines. I love his interaction with the audience and wish he'd tour soon in Asia.

[lincolnbroke]

Great song

[caseyaiken]

Am i ever beyond happy to be a fan of this man and have been to see him live 13 times. this video makes me cry every time :)

[funforfinn]

Lucky you :) Wish I could see and hear him live at least once! Well, maybe one day he will come to Europe... maybe not, but I keep hpoing :) And you're right, this makes me cry too, he is so touched by the moment - maybe he didn't understand how much his fans love him :)

[cenarej619]

First of all, I would like to thank God for creating such a fantastic person....

like Clay Aiken...

thank u so much...

He's my inspiration...

[CanEHdian83]

Ive always wondered...is this the moment he write about in his book? Where he chokes up when he realizes the love in the room? =) If so. CUTE!

[mceachm]

Yes, this is that moment. One of my favorite Clay memories.

[natasham01]

Yes you are correct! he is talking about this very moment! This was a wonderful moment! It was sooo moving!

[JamieAiken919]

I was at this concert! Thank you so much for posting this, it brought back such amazing memories!!

[gingercarol]

Swoon

[mara1451]

Such lovely voice-what a performer!

[stripedshirts]

He's the most beautiful creature ever made.

[namelessxox]

smae here

[nufoundglory]

:P @ the fan who suddenly lifted her banner and blocking the sight of clay.

[rsging]

This is my most memorable Clay Aiken concert moment! Will never forget his reaction to us singing his song.

[returnofaiken]

Beautiful.

[StereoTypeA]

Wow, nice moment. Clay is the best *sigh*

[nascarkraz]

What a magical moment and I wish we had more clack on this. It was just too sweet! Imagine being him that night when the crowd sang for him. Aww.

[elbasha123]

Everything in this clip is Magical!

[derwfan1]

This was my first Clay concert and I remember thinking "wow everyone knows this song!" I was so touched by the moment not realizing how much he was touched by it!

Since then I have seen him in concert 34 times and the man never disappoints me and always gives me chills. I have seen many people in concert so many great performs including Paul MCartney, Elton John, Bill Joel, Dave Matthews to name a few but no one's voice sends chills down my spine like Clay.

[Mary4579]

never heard the EJ version. its is good

[Leonhart01]

What song does he sing at 2:00 ??

[funforfinn]

"Fields Of Gold" by Sting

[ilovehersh]

Thanks!! I love this song and I never knew what it was called

[xxxbeautifuldisaster]

I was at this concert...it was a beautiful moment <3

[Kavanaugh]

It was lovely to find this. I was there that evening with friends and my mum - it was only the 2nd time I'd ever seen him sing live and I got goosebumps. When he asked the audience to sing those lines for him, we were all so perfectly in tune - it was a really amazing moment and quite something to see him so moved by it.

His voice is still just as excellent now. I've seen him about 12 times in concert all told now and he's never disappointed.

[etm1969]

Oh yeah, this is really moving, lucky you that you were there. I wish I wasn't busy with work at that time. I would have loved to be there. I live somewhere in PA. 'Can't say exactly where since I know there are haters here that are so sick, it is scary...you know like the one right above your comment, I believe he hides behind some silly name, ilgbf. But yeah, you guys really made Clay happy and his back up singer, wasn't she crying too?

[etm1969]

'Wish I could get out of work that day. I love Clay, yeah, it is so obvious how touched he was and his back up singer, too. I live somewhere in PA but I won't say where since there are some sick people here who hate Clay but is on about 90% of videos of him and leaves his vile comments, I am talking about ilgbf, but, he's just a dust in the wind, Clay is a star and he keeps on shining!

[etm1969]

How I wish I were able to attend this concert/tour. Maybe next time, eh?

[stairway2hvn]

Now I know why my wife and daughter love him. He's brillant, good job, man!

[reader28]

That was so pretty. Clay can not believe how much we love him and know all the words to his songs.

[etm1969]

I love it. Oh so touching! Clay's loved, I am one of them who does!

[cfans]

I was there, six rows from Clay and I remember the emotion. MOAM was my favorite song of his from the first time I heard it, and this sealed the deal. I will never forget the look on his face . . .

[trishcc]

ilgbf.........WHY are you watching Clay Aiken videos? I would guess, love him or hate him......Clay is facinating and spell-binding.....no one can stay away. I am his fan for life.

[clamerican]

I haven't watched this n 2 month....*sighs*....this video makes me feel better about the world....

[rsging]

This is my #1 memory from any Clay concert! Every March 7, I celebrate the anniversary of this exciting memory! (I sang along too).

[Britt8674]

This is my favorite video...ever. =)

[WhoseLineBabygirl]

[YunaYuna]

[boston223]

[mylittletony]

[skolesar]

This is my all time favorite concert video. I cried when I viewed it. Even on video I felt the intensity of the moment. Beautiful song, beautiful man.

[banditgirl13]

We, Clay's fans, will always be here for him. We'll alawys support him. We love him. It's good to see a clip of him taking a moment to let all of this in...

It made me cry as well.

[leaner3]

sk3luggu;

You can sometimes find Clay's book on Ebay, and sometimes you can buy a new or used copy on Amazon.com

[enavi]

never been so touched with those wonderful clips of his concerts! amazing... wish he could visit Philippines soon.. =)

[Huuugs]

I love this video! He wrote about how he felt, so humble.  Ahem, the song "Fields of Gold" isn't bad either. Hauntingly beautiful.

[bbia]

everytime i hear this song,my heart was like crying..there's something special about this song and the person that's singing to this song.this would be my all time favorite song..

[AIFanPA]

I was so fortunate to have been at that concert,and share it with my daughter..I cried then,and I still cry every time I see it.

[CLAYneck]

this made me cry too, what an amazing moment for him. definitely my favorite song.

[Hobbitlove]

i saw this video and i was crying and laughing at the same time. guess there's only Clay to make me feel this way. And by the way, of course we know the words! After all, we are... CLAYMATES!

[lorrie727]

I'LL SAY IT AGAIN...SORRY FOR MY COMUTOR GLITCH.... REMEMBER,,,,THESE FAMOUS ARTISTS....AND NOW WE HAVE...CLAYTON!!!

[lorrie727]

REMBER..TOM JONES....REMBER....ENGLBRERT..­.REMEMBER...THE BEATLES.....NOW REMEMBER....CLAY....

[cstinia]

That was a really touching and emotional memory. Even though I wasn't there in person, just watching this got me teary-eyed. I could only imagine the atmosphere at that moment... and to see Clay THIS close to crying... it just really show how grateful that we the fans are supporting him every step of the way. Go Clay :)

[sassyblue8]

I was there that night about fourth row to the left of the catwalk. It was my second Clay Aiken IT tour.

I saw Quina get teary eyed and Clay almost cry. Little did I know he was going to write about that night in his book. What a memory and what a Man.

[payeng]

aww, i love clay's voice!

[Jazzy291]

What a beautiful & poignant moment. 

[sk3luggu]

you have that book?! how lucky! i've been searching for it in Singapore(where i live) but... it's nowhere to be found :(

[mezzogal]

i'm from singapore too. i managed to buy it at MPH Parkway. i believe they still carry the book. if not, NLB has it. :D

[chic2222]

did u find the audio versions??? i'm looking for it everywhere.. couldn't find it!!

[JustJake]

That was really touching. What a sweet guy.

[NonnyL]

Clay talked about this night in his book, Learning To Sing. It's in chapter 17. As he went into the chorus, he stopped to clear his throat for a second, and the audience kept singing He said that's when it hit him that people actually listened to his music, enough to learn the words. He said it was a very powerful moment.

I can't imagine living the changes he has lived int he past couple of years. Hope he's strong enough to stay around, because his voice is unmatchable!
