so cute

[crazyaboutclay12]

No matter how bad of a day I was having, this video makes me crack up laughing every time. I think I've seen it like 50 times and I still geek out it's so funny.

[nramon]

Ternuritaaaaaa Michael pensó que iba a hacer dueto con Clay...

[SlayerSFoxeR]

Clay is a boss in this video.

[TheLalalaness]

haha ryan seacrest sounded like he sed,

"he's gay, and i'm getting out of here"

[galuh2000]

It' s so memorable

[itsgib]

love Clay, no matter what :)

[ClaysSTO]

Clay looked amazing and sang the song so beautifully -- as always. I think he surprised everyone by that appearance. Great job, Clay!

[SuperCHERISHED]

Thank you kennethbee for posting this delightful video of extraordinary Clay Aiken surprising Michael. Clay overflows with musical brilliance. Clay really looked handsome that evening. I adored how Clay entered the staged and basically said "I will take care of this". When Clay started singing that song it was so dynamic. Clay Aiken was always my favorite American Idol male. He really could sing. Ruben Studdard is also an extraordinary talent but I did weep a little when Clay did not win.

[igotyourmoney23]

how cute <3  :) :)

[whatdhellusername]

clay reminds me of zac efron somehow. i think it's the hair. lol

[carly3592]

This is like the best American Idol moment in the history of the show.

[IPawnt]

Damn they actually sound legit together

[Kandiegirl127]

@IPawnt They actually don't. They cut out michael's singing so that it was just a Clay Aiken performance.

[IPawnt]

@Kandiegirl127 Why does it sound like 2 people are singing...and one of the voices is kind of out of tune and hesitant. They must have done a really good job with the editing to make it seem like he sang...

[NeoPanzerth]

i cant believe that guy saw clay!! when ur performing on stage live u dont look back over ur shoulder!!! ?

[MsTheCommentator]

ROFL @ 1:04!!!

[BlackJ303]

AI winner- $1,000

Clay Aiken impersonator-$2

Me, siting on a chair, drinking orange juice in front of the computer-$15

Impersonator was stunned to see Clay, in person- Priceless

[wkares]

Clay: Look at the confidence. Priceless. (There is a better video on here some where). I watched the original over and over and still brings tears to my eyes.

[retawdedone]

have you seen clays new hair. he looks like a faggot. he looks sick the way he looks in this vid though

[gReddyxGO]

i love him &all, but his new hair! its not him. what happen to the original hairstylee he had when he won over america, well not in the competition .. but you know what i mean :P

[Bucky1215]

Clay was born blonde, and his hair was that color into his teens and early twenties. He dyed it for his audition because he thought it would make him look like a Pop singer to have dark hair. Idol kept dying it and spiking it, and the hair style here was the idea of his stylists. The latest style for his new album was also the idea of his stylist. If God gave him blond hair why shouldn't he wear it that way if he likes? He looks good in any color he chooses to wear.

[canadiancutie438505]

I love Clay he used to be so ugly but is so hot now

[cacabeans]

damnit that's a nice suit.

[thephenom305]

i still believe clay is the real american idol not ruben

[1124808]

[el7way]

Greatest moment on american idol ever. Bar none.

[bd9598]

Clay is one of the best singers ever recorded. I listen to music, I don't care what the person looks like. Why does what someone looks like matter if they can make such beautiful music? BTW I think he's adorable.

[mssweber012]

omg he is the hottest thing of my life. i cry its so beautiful! :)

[Discodad54]

im all like "Oh my gosh who's that!! Is that Clay??!" and my moms all "Yeah" and im all "OMG HE"S HOT!!" lol :D not that he wasnt hot already, but here he looked different, in a good way xD

[emmy3001loveu]

[aimzpowder]

His hair looked awesome!!!GO CLAY AIKEN!!!!!

[lethalgirl101]

[Kyoukitty94]

lmfao this is so funny & i love his new hair :D

[1NSEPARABLE]

OMG.

I REMEMBER THIS.

I FREAKED OUT WHEN CLAY AIKEN CAME OUT.

CAUSE HE LOOKED SO DIFFERENT..

AND I WAS LIKE "WHO IS THAT?!"

wow. clay aiken.

whooo.

handsome, much??

[pinkishotlikeme]

He had grown out his hair and he did look really sexy.

[kali902000]

in my opinion, best reality tv show moment EVER!!! its right up there with new york getting spit on in flavor of love. clay's voice makes me swoon. it's soooo amazing.

[emmy3001loveu]

IT WAS!!! it was VH1's #1 reality tv moment!

[soulchild85]

I met clay last summer hes just as great as I thought...luv him!!!!!

[superwoofer38]

his best looks,i like his black hair!

[pupzs]

he looks like zac efron

[phoenixlb8891]

Zac Efron looks like him, he's older.

I disagree though, I'm just saying

[mangamylife]

i wish i could have the chance to meet my Role Model/Idol and have to chance to not only meet them but be able to sing with them.

[mangamylife]

Also, i think its so cool that they let one his dreams come true. :)

[iLuvCookies625]

clay is cute now.

[ewanslover]

awe, i love both of them :]

[ProudMouse]

Have you seen the reaction to the guy when he sees Clay. I have seen Clay in real too but lol I wasn't smart enough to react that way. You should all see spamalot :)

[moonpie42]

You met Clay Aiken?

[ProudMouse]

Yeah um well like I saw spamalot so uh I saw him like from 10ft away but I haven't actually "met him"

[afrodude007]

You're all so mean to each other!!!

[moonpie42]

I'm 42 years old and mother of two and have never in my life spoken to anyone that way , but when someone tells me to do what he told me to do to a cross of christ, I felt like giving him a taste of his own medicine, however you are right and I am through speaking with imsogr8t. Thanks

[ProudMouse]

I have no idea what you 2 are talking about but I am in love with Clay so yay! :)

[moonpie42]

I luv Clay also. There are a few people on this comments section that like to sprew hateful things to those that like Clay Aiken and thats how this all started.

[ProudMouse]

I know. Clay isn't gay and i dunno where people are getting all these rumors about him... Have u seen Spamalot? He is really good in it

[moonpie42]

I wouldn't care if he were gay or not. I havn't seen spamalot. I live in Arknasa. But would love love love to see it.

I think Michael Sendecki's reaction was priceless. I saw it live last year and was bawling like a baby. I felt like it was an experience of a lifetime for him and I loved that Clay did it!!

[moonpie42]

No, that was your daddy.

[moonpie42]

I know who you are now. You were in the movie "Deliverence" . You were the greasy haired guy in the overalls telling that man to " squeal like a pig".

[moonpie42]

Muslim? You need a lot of help! My husband would like to show you the errors of your ways!! A few minutes with him and you would learn to respect women!

[moonpie42]

From the way you talk , my guess is daddy must have left that brown stain down your face???

[moonpie42]

Power go out in your trailer.. Took you a long time to answer.
