Clay Aiken - Bridge over troubled water judges

[newb412]

lol at 0:57 , looks like he came in his pants

[Brenda2OOO]

It was stupid that he didn't win. I hate it when the true winner loses for some fucked up reason.

[Cr1mSiR]

mmk so why didnt he win?

[arivera3426]

Go girl!!! Work it like you mean it Miss Thing!!!

[tazzie0123]

simon doesnt make any sense. lol.

[paulinecwl]

he should have won

[sugarhoneyicedtea123]

He looked like he just had an orgasm after Simon said he might be able to win the competition. Lol Fabulous performance. :)

[TenaciousC21]

"damn dawg, what are you doing?!" my thoughts exactly, randy! awesome. Simon should of stood up...he loved it, he knew he did :).....and Clay was NOT off! is he on crack?

[elzorrobueno]

Pushing aside her voice is amazing is the message that must penetrate the hard heart that you have because if there is a chance if there is hope if there is a better tomorrow ...

...Apartando que su voz es increible es el mensaje que debe penetrar ese corazon duro que tienes por que si hay un a oportunidad si hay una esperanza si hay un mejor mañana ......

[sweetpetunia78]

He should have won. the best song in all of American idol!!

[thelcfkilla]

the last comment by Simon Cowell just made him lost the competition

[sonyab1974]

Clay should have won! He was fantastic with this song! :)

[jordanisamazing11]

im not saying that ruben studdard cant sing but clay totally should of won season 2

[Drtbaggae]

randy jackson looks heavier there

[lvu16]

he deserved to win

[antinotis]

I'm from Alabama; we were thrilled the other guy won, but everybody knows Clay was better. They figured he would make it anyhow. And the guy who won... what's his name?

[MamaNissy]

@antinotis ha ha. For some reason I just can't stop laughing at your comment. Thanks for making my morning. LOL

[sopranopowerr]

he's soooo adorable! his face at the end was sooo adorable!

[sumwhut]

remind me. why didn't this guy win?

[thewordthatpierces]

@sumwhut I don't think anyone knows why? Except maybe the people who receive the votes? lol

[Gl0veCompartment]

they wanted a fat black guy to win because then american idol wont be considered racist and at the time simon was being accused of being critical towards fat people so maybe that had something to do with it

[Balaboshka]

The Trooper - 30 times

[BettyBoop416]

LMAO!! I LOVE HIS FACE AT :48 it makes me grin so much!!...

[RyanMauger]

It is THE cutest face ever!

[aboo00oode992]

in all these finals , there are only two songs that give chills every time .

1- kelly clarkson - before your love .

2- clay with this song .

[Clayzy13]

So talented....this guy should have won the show.

[konajgreg65]

not jennifer at 0:03

[conorsmitheire]

[cavaleio]

At the end he jizzed in his pants, lol

[h44512]

LOLOLOL!

[Kudelini]

He said dawg twice. Big freeking deal dawg.

[742512345689]

i know right i cant believe randy, so annoying like oh my gosh he needs to retake speech therapy ugh!!!!! omfg1!!!! such a shit head

[SmashBrosFan19]

AHHAAH! Oh my gosh? I know right? Like? Ugh? You fucking spoiled 15 year-old bitch!

[nehatnehet]

maybe God has a better plans for him.losing in the competition doesn't means ur dreams will end there.

[simusfr]

shut up god has nothing to do with that

[nehatnehet]

i don't need your comments dude! u better shut up!

[SmashBrosFan19]

Lol. He better? You sound like a fucking 6 year-old! AHAH

[told2stop]

How did Clay not win this American Idol?

[mikeisLA]

why does randy say dawg every damn sentence

[gonzalosor45]

ahahaha ^^" maybe because there's people saying: "Oh My Gosh" too :P

[thelucy3703]

i know its really annoying!!!

[emilf666]

what the hell, randy lol

[LOLCOPTER]

seriously?, clay has so much control of his voice, even going the lower notes, IT'S STILL SMOOTH & TONEFUL. wow. seriously, seriously. lol. just wow. he does well in every performance, I usually feel he could went to his falsetto, but he just kept control, which is WOW.

[jenhsc]

Clay Is still the best singer in all AI!!!

[midwestex]

I loved you Clay, and I don't think that Ruban was better.

[baker358]

Why do people have to compare Clay and Adam? Like comparing apples and oranges! I prefer Clay's style . His voice is so pure as one of the judges said while performing during season 2. Different strokes for different folks!!!

[illa2015]

totally agree. people say they can both be on broadway, but they probably wouldn't do the same type of shows. Adam is more rock adn roll broadway while i personally find clay more classical. they are both awesome but you can't compare the two

[fashglimmer]

it is true

[bluefireice]

his reaction to simon's last comment is priceless

[sherwelthlangley]

Lol, at 0:12 Simon looks like he's spacing out, then is like "What? What the hell's going on?"

[isakdinesen]

Man, I never knew Clay was this good. He's it the best singer EVER on American Idol. Not only should he have won Season 2, but should have won among all the AI winners!

[elizab3th23]

clay aiken got me into AI..but i only heard of him after the competition and couldn't believe that he didn't win..but i think Carrie Underwood would have won among all the AI winners with him and Kelly following ^_^

[cheesylovesong23]

I wonder if Clay's sexuality had anything do with him losing. He really should have won.

[PEHHTER]

he didnt come out of the closet until years after the competion

[baker358]

My thoughts!! Simon didn't want Clay to win the competition, contrary to what he said!!! Clay is without a doubt the BEST ever to appear on that stage!

[RinxNara]

This song should of won Clay the competition...But in my eyes, Clay is the winner, best idol singer ever..... wish Simon could've been right, that Clay won the whole damn thing..

but it doesnt matter...he was still more successful than most artists in the end..

go Clay!! You're my idol!!

[jclee42]

haha that's hilarious when randy says yeah right to simon lol

[lalamandelala121]

Idol was fixed that year........ come on, Clay was way better than Ruben......the sales of the cd's tell ya.......Hugs to ya Clay........love ya.....Sande

[tigertab123]

I can never get enough of this video - of course his high note at the end is unbelievable, but what about the amazing low notes throughout the song also. I get chills everytime I watch this.

[OKSteele]

MARRY ME CLAY

[ani275]

GOD Randy with the silly hats..glad these days are over..!!

I think Clay sould have won he's 1 of da best singers on AA ever in my opinion!

[sutter4clay]

Clay should have won!!! mix up my fanny!!! The finale was rigged so Ruben could win. Idol/19ent knows who the real crown winner was.. There will never be another Clay..not even David A who some are comparing him too will even come close.

[Fluffybunnyhater]

Clay Aiken is easily the best male voice ever to take the stage of American Idol, yes there are some very very good ones from the last few seasons but he just blows you away with every performance, yes he should've won his season. I honestly have no clue why he didn't hes clearly better singer/performer then Ruben

[borin23]

there was a mix up with the phone lines or something. fuller admitted that and said that clay aiken had one but because of the mix up ruben did. sad, ain't it?

LOVE U CLAY!!!

[TheMikeblue77]

@Fluffybunnyhater I think everyone know why he didn't win. And also, it is sad why he didn't win. But What about David Archuleta? I thought he was great also.

[SmashBrosFan19]

@Fluffybunnyhater It's because Ruben's black....

[agnesmoorhead]

Clay should have won season two.

[MichaelJacksonFan001]

@agnesmoorhead he came in second. 

[ianeli]

@agnesmoorhead i agree with you!!

[drifter6276]

This is when Paula actually looked descent.

[Mollykat5054]

It didn't win him the competition. Poor mistake on America's part. We got it wrong!

[lobogirl]

after all these years when he hit that last note it gave me chills all over again

[SummerGalLongIsland]

Again, as I said on another YouTube post, Simon's reaction at around 0:13-0:16 cracks me up. He whips his head up to look at Randy and Paula standing up and clapping....too friggin' funny. His facial expressions and reactions always make me laugh!!!

[weeshorty99]

Watchin this after watchin the X Factor.. Where is Britains talent?? Yeah, Alexandra can sing but this guy would have put her right out of the competition..

[ThirtyOne31]

Lmao!! Clay has an orgasm in the end of the video!

[arivera3426]

Yeah. I know. Didn't you hear the "spuuuuurt"???

This was the predecessor to the song

" Jizz in my Pants"!!!

[mely00001]

that far in to the competition the sing 2 times aday and this was the second song :)

[dayborne35]

what does simon mean when he says he has been a little off?

[lalamandelala121]

And it should of won him the competition...in my eyes, clay is the winner, best idol singer ever.....

[huholah]

if simon stood up, clay would have won without a doubt, clay lost cauz of SIMON"S LAZINESS...

[samanthak2205]

what??? No he didn't!

[princessanna57]

Simon sucks lol

[lhs04666]

um whats the deal with simon he isnt standing

[lileldev4eva]

look at gay simon..

i wish he would stand up AWESOME JOD CLAY!

[nhlfan74]

JOD........FAIL

[norcalifornia]

Simon should have stood up and Clay should have definitely won. But you know? If you look at it, he really did win.. he's more famous than Ruben is.

Out of all the finales, Bridge Over Trouble Water was the most memorable.

[hedunlap]

Ruben? Who's Ruben?

[shmalex888]

i wish simon woulda stood up, cuz that was one of the best performences on AMerican Idol EVER! but, i loved how simon gav that compliment, and u saw clay's face, lol!

[camzy0019]

i wish simon could've been right, that Clay won the whole damn thing..

but it doesnt matter...he was still more successful than most artists in the end..

go Clay!! you're my idol!!

[OMalleysAnatomy26]

Wow, I missed that part where Randy stood up.

[jh9990]

Final someone unloaded this. Thank you some much
