I was at the taping, and it still gives me goosebumps to watch this clip. It was a magical night. Clay was in top form, better than ever. The musicians were amazing, I'm still in awe. The production was outstanding, and the lighting spectacular. It was a dream come true, and I'm so very happy I was there to experience it. Thank you Decca and International Media!
Clearly the best talent they ever had, and they let him get away because he wouldn't give in to their ridiculous contract demands. Thank God, 'cause he's in a much better place now. You GO Clay, the world has been deprived of you for way too long.
@tammymine You are so right he is the best singer that Idol has ever produced.....by far , there is a site on yahoo, it is for the best Idol ever and Clay is number one......You can find it by searching Best american idol ever....
Glad to see OMC back doing something musical again. I'm P.O. with PBS. The Tried and True show has been canceled so many times b/c it "donation time again".
I've recorded so much crap I refuse to watch that channel for a while. I even called them last night when they were on their "break" b/c right at the last moment before Clay and Ruben were to come on they switched to Leonard Cohen. Not that he's bad or anything like that but I wanted to see Clay and Ruben.
WOW! It looks like this special is being aired on PBS stations all across the country this August. That's great news. A fantastic performer like Clay Aiken certainly deserves nothing less! He just keeps getting better and better all the time.
@lurkerchic I taped it last night on 12WHYY Live which was taped from his Raleigh Concert. I still use Clay's music for a lot of my videos. He will always have one of the greatest voices of all time for me. That said, I didn't like his new version of Unchained Melody. I so the version that he always sang on Tour. There are just some original songs that should never be tampered with. But I still love is voice.
@amarettaludia I agree , RB version can never be made better, but the version he sang on AI was fantastic, it was a lot different then the original but it was awesome, and for that reason it should not be compared with the original, same thing with his version of BOTW that he did on idol fantastic....But his remakes of other songs are far better like STO by Orleans..and when I need you, Leo Sayer he does better..
Despite all the talk about his career fading I never doubted he had another deck to pull out and here it is. Getting a #9 C.D. with no hit single, no current tour, few T.V. appearances attests once that again that if there is good music out there the public will find out about it and get it.
Yeah, better than ever!! The more I play this the more I love it, thanks for posting it! Now I can hardly wait to see him and hear that voice in person next month...
Aiken's back in town & all's right with the world! ! So proud that he managed a Top 9 debut with no song on the radio, no video on TV, minimal appearances & a genre that is a very hard sell in this pop music era. The exquisite quality of the production, musicians & vocals will earn him his due, however, & it's about damn time!
Why this guy is so underrated, I'll never understand. The best male voice to come out of American Idol ever. And my sister says to add that he's hot, too. ;-)
Great vid production --love the '50s &'60's sound though am not so familiar with these periods. Clay has the pipes & convinces me what great songs there were then.
I'd love to know if NJU's (i.e., Not Just Us die-hard Clay fans) are viewing this incredible Promo and what they think of our guy and his music. Please, if you're an NJU, let's hear from you.
Totally mesmerized by this superior production! Clay's performance is awesome, especially love his duet with Linda on "Crying". It's refreshing to hear songs sung for the beauty of its value, Thank you! Will wait for more to come.
Finally back to singing instead of noise CD June 1st Tried and True and PBS special .Back to a Great powerful voice i can listen too and not get a headache
the only danger is falling in love again,,,,,,,,,oh well ......
It's torture waiting for the special, but at least we'll have the album in two weeks. The way he sings "Who's Sorry Now" gives me goosebumps. sigh. There is no one better.
I think with the popularity of Glee these days, that people appreciate the old Tried and True standards, and realize the value of good melodies and lyrics. I think he will do well with this CD. He has an amazing voice, and is fantastic in concert...He is so personable, and has real comedic timing....Love Him!
I was there and this captures the amazingness perfectly. My only complaint? Why, oh, why was Unchained Melody not included in the preview? That was the best!!!!!!!! I was blown away. Clay is sooo talented and amazing. I can't wait til June 1st! I think I'm gonna diee!!
The PBS taping in Raleigh was absolutely thrilling. Clay was magnificent and his voice beyond compare. I can't wait for his new CD coming June 1st and the PBS TV special coming this summer. Awesome!!!
I for one am over the moon excited about Clays song choices!! Just look at him smile and the glow from his face tells me he's happy!! Never have I heard Clay sing richer and fuller until now.. Go to i-tunes or his facebook or B&N and hear perfection.. I can't wait until this special airs..and TNT is released.. Both are going to be masterpieces!!!!
This is the kind of music Clay was meant to sing.. The music is spectacular, people of any age will enjoy it.. The same style as Michael Buble, and look at his success. You can't pigeon hole people into saying 20 year olds will not like this older music. I give them far more credit than that. This is good music, and if you have an ear for great music...you'll enjoy this. Clay has a voice like no other...
I did not know Mack The Knife, Solitaire, Suspicious Minds, Misty and so many other songs before Clay and WOW these are absolutely GORGEOUS!! So glad I will not be missing out on these gems. I'm also learning about GREAT singers and entertainers of the past - Bobby Darin, Pery Como, Johnny Mathis. THANK GOODNESS FOR CLAY!

I love Clay and I always have, but really, I loved him more when he did more modern stuff. He is always singing other peoples songs. I suppose most of his fan will enjoy this, I enjoy it. But more 21 yr old like me will not enjoy this. I guess he is playing for his fan base, not for gaining more fans in the newer generations.
@McKelli88 i am 20 yrs old, i was at that concert, and i'm telling you...you will NOT be disappointed with his new direction in music! he has brought a breath of fresh air to these older songs, and actually, most of it is upbeat. i don't know if you've had a chance to listen to the newly released recordings of "Can't Take My Eyes Off You" and "Misty" on his myspace and facebook pages, but he sounds stunning.
@caraleigh3 I have heard them, and I like it, but I can just see how people will take it. I have heard of most of the songs on the list actually, I was in band and choir and sang and played most of the songs and adore them. I just wish that he would play more current songs, songs that my friends would sing along to. My friends know how I feel about Clay, and they pick on me for it, saying Clay is only for old women, and when they find out about the TNT album it will fuel the fire.
@McKelli88 well i can see your point there. i'm actually a guy so think of how much more fuel to the fire that adds with my friends! a young guy that actually likes to listen to clay aiken...they wonder how that's possible! but like you, i love to sing and i've followed him since the beginning on AI2 and back then, no one had any judgements on him, just his voice. the best part of his new era with decca is that they're just getting back to the voice. he is an amazing person too though.
@McKelli88 p.s. being 21, and i'm not stereotyping, but i'd like to guess that there are more than a few songs listed on TNT that you aren't familiar with, or maybe have never even heard before. i like some older stuff and even i'm not familiar with a few songs on the album. so to me, it IS new music.
@caraleigh3 I agree with you..Im 33 yrs old and there is only a couple songs on this cd that I know..So rest is new to me..I was at the concert too. I have never heard Clay sound better before! He was having just as much fun as we were! I think Clay is going to pick up alot of new fans! @Mckelli88 Clays last cd was all originals ATDW wasnt his choice to do them..This CD is what Clay loves to do..and he always makes them new..I cant wait until this new cd.
@McKelli88 Lots of younger fans are loving this. And some older fans agree that he sounds great, but this isn't the kind of music they generally like. Age has little to do with it.
All RIIIIGHT!! The Vox is BACK, and I'm so happy. Not only to get this show on PBS, but the Decca album in June PLUS I'm going to see Clay and Ruben in August ??? The 2-year drought is OVER!! I'm getting back that golden voice I've loved since 2003, belting out gorgeous songs. Here you come again, Clay, and here I gooooooo!!
WOW! I love this modern update on the big band style. The jazzy version of Mack the Knife is very well done. Watched him on Idol and thought he should have won. I'll watch this on PBS for sure!
This whole production was nothing short of spectacular! Clay was simply amazing! The best performer/singer out there., Can't wait for his new CD on June 1st.
This will hold me until June 1 when the Tried and True cd is available; and that will hold me until July when the Timeless Tour starts; which will hold me until August when the PBS special of this special night airs; but nothing is gonna hold me nearly as softly yet securely as Clay singing Unchained Melody. The tender power of that vocal performance is something very few singers can achieve.
:) One day closer to August!!! and one day closer to June!!! Thanks again for the great video, you sure got me wanting more (and more and more) Clay Aiken is truly amazing. Thanks for capturing the magic
This man never fails to give you the chills with that golden voice. Love to watch Clay he is a song stylist to the umpteenth degree. Can't wait for the new cd.
I have enjoyed watching this marvelous video numerous times. Clay sounds fantastic and looks heavenly. I am so looking forward to his new Tried and True CD and PBS special. Clay is going to make this summer sizzle.
There is nothing like Clay Aiken live! I'm so happy that International Media and PBS will make it possible for more people to experience the magic that Clay's fans have enjoyed for 7 years. Looking forward to seeing Clay and Ruben on stage this summer in Florida.
If International Media captured half the magic that was present on the night of the taping, the special will be spectacular! Judging from this clip, it looks like they did. With Tried and True, Clay has made me love songs I didn't even like before! He's incredible, and I can't wait to watch the show on my PBS station and buy the DVD.
Oh my! I just can't stop watching this video. Can't wait till July 25..when I get to see Clay in Melbourne. August also can't come soon enough for me to see the PBS Special. Love that man!
Does Intern'l Media and Decca know that so many of the blogs and other places now have links to a video that is no longer there? I hope they can get this straightened out. This promo needs to be seen!
I think International Media had NO idea that they would lose the original site when they made the addition. Surely they wouldn't have done it otherwise.
This man is magnificent and must be seen and heard. Too bad that removing the original video now leads to nowhere in so many blogs, e-mails, facebooks, boards and articles.
There is no one who can top him vocally. His long notes his low notes, even high, his voice is smooth. Love him and can't wait for all of this to air.
actually, i was playing it right as they removed it because i played it and when it was over, i went to play it again a minute later, and it said it was removed, and at that time, there were over 13,000 views. so add 13,000 views to whatever the total is here and that's how many views this promo vid has gotten already! seeing this front row at the concert was unbelievable, so i want everyone who wasn't fortunate enough to go to get the same incredible experience i had!
@caraleigh3 I don't think anyone will be able to have the same incredible experience you had :D I can't wait to see this entire concert on my TV!! and I can't wait to get my hands on the CD. We had snippets up for a few seconds on Clay's official fan club. Between this video and those 30 clips June 1st just can't get here fast enough!
davesmama2008, they removed the video, added contact info at the end, and uploaded it again to youtube -- losing the original count which is a shame. I hope they made note of that count somewhere. This man deserves the best! He is amazing -- that show was incredible! I can't wait to get his new CD on June 1st and see this PBS Special in August.
I am addicted to these 3 minutes ane 19 seconds! He is Mesmerizing! Counting the days until the CD is released and the PBS Special! I was in Raleigh for the taping and it was AMAZAZING!! He is HOT. . . .HOT . . . .HOT!
Clay is one FANTASTIC singer, performer and true humanitarian. Glad I discovered him on Youtube in time for 2010! This is just a tiny showcase of what he is capable of. There is so much more!! Can't wait to get my hands on the DVD!
Thanks for this wonderful preview of the PBS taping. As we continue to enjoy and marvel at this video, we hope snippets of the CD will be out soon. Can't wait!
Love the video, love the man, a voice like no other. So glad Clay is out there again where we can all see and appreciate that voice. Can't wait for the PBS Special and Tried and True cd. Hallelujah!
WOW! Clay is an incredible singer & performer & he looks amazing & very happy. Can hardly wait for the TV special, the new CD, the tour & so much more. It's a fun time to be a Clay fan. I love him so much.
i was very fortunate and was able to attend the once in a lifetime event. clay was phenomenal! he was breathtaking! i can't wait for more pictures, snippets of audio and video, television appearances, the concerts, cd's, dvd's, the pbs special and seeing clay get the much deserved and way over due radio play!
Love this concert and Clay is a wonderful entertainer. He style, control over his voice and his flair on the stage is like nothing we have seen in a long time. Oh yeah, not bad to look at either!
What a phenomenal performer. What a voice and personality. I just love when he comes out to sing "Whose Sorry Now?" That man is lethal...and singing that song will kill ya...but, in a good way. Just love him!
STUNNING! Clay at his finest, singing songs he loves with style, flair and vocals to die for. Cannot wait to get the Tried and True cd and to watch this gorgeous PBS Special.
Thank you Intern'l Media and Decca -- great promo video! So great to see that the PBS Special taping on 3/12/10 actually happened. I was there that night and could not believe my ears and eyes. A veritable feast for the senses! Thank you, Clay! What a voice!
when people said he had an old fanbase i never thought they were this old :\

@McKelli88 p.s. being 21, and i'm not stereotyping, but i'd like to guess that there are more than a few songs listed on TNT that you aren't familiar with, or maybe have never even heard before. i like some older stuff and even i'm not familiar with a few songs on the album. so to me, it IS new music.
caraleigh3 1 year ago 11
@caraleigh3 I agree with you..Im 33 yrs old and there is only a couple songs on this cd that I know..So rest is new to me..I was at the concert too. I have never heard Clay sound better before! He was having just as much fun as we were! I think Clay is going to pick up alot of new fans! @Mckelli88 Clays last cd was all originals ATDW wasnt his choice to do them..This CD is what Clay loves to do..and he always makes them new..I cant wait until this new cd.

@McKelli88 Lots of younger fans are loving this. And some older fans agree that he sounds great, but this isn't the kind of music they generally like. Age has little to do with it.

I'm getting back that golden voice I've loved since 2003, belting out gorgeous songs. Here you come again, Clay, and here I gooooooo!!

WOW! I love this modern update on the big band style. The jazzy version of Mack the Knife is very well done. Watched him on Idol and thought he should have won. I'll watch this on PBS for sure!

SapphireFairy 1 year ago 15
This will hold me until June 1 when the Tried and True cd is available; and that will hold me until July when the Timeless Tour starts; which will hold me until August when the PBS special of this special night airs; but nothing is gonna hold me nearly as softly yet securely as Clay singing Unchained Melody. The tender power of that vocal performance is something very few singers can achieve.

There is nothing like Clay Aiken live! I'm so happy that International Media and PBS will make it possible for more people to experience the magic that Clay's fans have enjoyed for 7 years. Looking forward to seeing Clay and Ruben on stage this summer in Florida.

If International Media captured half the magic that was present on the night of the taping, the special will be spectacular! Judging from this clip, it looks like they did. With Tried and True, Clay has made me love songs I didn't even like before! He's incredible, and I can't wait to watch the show on my PBS station and buy the DVD.

Does Intern'l Media and Decca know that so many of the blogs and other places now have links to a video that is no longer there? I hope they can get this straightened out. This promo needs to be seen!

I think International Media had NO idea that they would lose the original site when they made the addition. Surely they wouldn't have done it otherwise.

charman11, you are not the only one addicted to these snippets... I go away then I have to come back and listen to that incredible voice!
flasher31clayam 1 year ago 9
There is no one who can top him vocally. His long notes his low notes, even high, his voice is smooth. Love him and can't wait for all of this to air.
tubewatchermom 1 year ago 9
actually, i was playing it right as they removed it because i played it and when it was over, i went to play it again a minute later, and it said it was removed, and at that time, there were over 13,000 views. so add 13,000 views to whatever the total is here and that's how many views this promo vid has gotten already! seeing this front row at the concert was unbelievable, so i want everyone who wasn't fortunate enough to go to get the same incredible experience i had!
caraleigh3 1 year ago 8
@caraleigh3 I don't think anyone will be able to have the same incredible experience you had :D I can't wait to see this entire concert on my TV!! and I can't wait to get my hands on the CD. We had snippets up for a few seconds on Clay's official fan club. Between this video and those 30 clips June 1st just can't get here fast enough!

davesmama2008, they removed the video, added contact info at the end, and uploaded it again to youtube -- losing the original count which is a shame. I hope they made note of that count somewhere. This man deserves the best! He is amazing -- that show was incredible! I can't wait to get his new CD on June 1st and see this PBS Special in August.
ClaysSTO 1 year ago 5
What happened to the more than 11,000 views this video had? I think Clay looks and sounds better than ever. Love him.
