Clay Aiken - Solitaire

[KINGofWORLDmj]

He is just amazing wow.... I'm in love! He's gorgeous and full of class... ;)

[franciscott9148]

I was first astonished & amazed back when I first heard Clay perform his rendition of "Bridge Over Troubled Water", then stumbled upon this performance after years of forgetting about this amazing voice, talent, passion & person who I hope someday to meet all the way from Guam.....AMAZING & BREATHTAKING!!!

[clayloveable]

OMGOSH He just melts my heart, what a VOICE he has....I  just love his music...

No one sings like Clay dose and can melt your heart every time....

[whitebengal100]

Wow!! What a voice - no autotuning there. Freakingfantastic live performance!!!

[childsweethearts]

Thank you for posting this. I love his singing, and this is one of his best.

[childsweethearts]

What is it about us girls that some men aren't attracted to us? I love Clay's singing and voted for him many times on Idol. But if some guys can tell me what it is about us that turns some men to prefer guys, please do.

[scootieboots]

WOW! that's it, plain and simple. no other words necessary.

Every time I hear him do this song I get chills.

[hollapala24]

I love him too! I love him when he singd Bridge over troubles water..Clay mate forever..Holla Pala 24 Chicago IL

[kindlyunspoken92x]

i can watch this over and over and over and each time still be AMAZED and blown away by what comes after 3:41

<33333333333333

SO MUCH TALENT!

[MannySVK]

Do this:

- close your eyes for 30 seconds

- go to 3:41

- and listen to absolute perfect, clean, beautiful voice and feel the best concentration and timing to the end

[iabaly]

lets go girls!!!!!!

[sagitariusgirl14]

those Haters your opinion is your opinion but don't waste your time posting a comment on Clay's Videos, as what they say DON"T HATE, APPRECIATE!

[sagitariusgirl14]

why do other people measure him by his sexual preference, why can't they see his heart, the good things that he has done and keep on doing, how many artists are in there who care so much about their fans, who interact with them as if they are friends, there maybe few, but Clay is one in a million! I do love Clay until now and maybe forever, his only the artists that I look up to, his voice is amazing, his heart is PURE and thats important...

[derwfan1]

Wow the passion with which he sings that song is amazing. The few times I have watched him sing, it is with such conviction and emotion. Well done. Don't care about the personal stuff..if a singer moves me that is all I am looking for and this performance moved me. And I have to agree with a few others his being gay and not admitting it straight away was simply his business, if others are out and proud good for them. Simply none of my business...the voice is what I listen to.

[MannySVK]

I totally agree with you. Nobody can sing this song better! I listen to a lot of kind of music but this singer has something what is missing to many others. It's called passion.

[lurkerchic]

Well aside from being a fantastic role model, this man is a GREAT singer!! Listen to his range in this performance. I often think we forget just how beauiful his lower range can be and tend o overlook it sometimes due to the magnificent glory notes! thud

[psbintl]

Also sierra7587,

For your information, the majority of his fans already knew and accepted he was gay long before he shared that information.

[psbintl]

Stop with the hating!

Clay did not feel it was anyone's business but his, his family and close friends, who he told several years ago! Get your facts straight!

The public does not hold entitlement to every personal item about an artist!

If you don't like Clay then go and post on another artist's video who you do like.

I can't believe the amount of posters who seek out YouTube videos of artists they don't like just to trash them.

Put your energy into artists you do like.

[DennyYou]

I don't care how terrible the audio may or may not be. I LOVE Clay's voice, and his delivery of this song. THANKS for posting this video. Clay's voice is a beautiful as he is!

[Treaty4]

The pinstripe suit looks nice, but the audio is terrible in this video. The song is beautiful.

[dsamsie]

Wow! Fantastic

[lajndaaa]

I would seriously cry if i attended that concert and he had sung rhat song!

Clay is THE ONE <3

[B52sguy]

This is great. How truly beautiful. If only he could have sung that with Agnetha of "ABBA" when she was in her prime. the ending gave me goose bumps of happiness and tears of joy. Thanks so much! KS

[opensincerity]

The emotion in this performance is palpable

I am amazed by this rendition of this song.

Clay is an amazing person!

[floraaaaaaaaaaaaa]

stunning voice!i love him!!

[lvnc25]

OMG...He is just stunning...not only his singing, but he's got to be one of the sexiest men I've ever seen. Got to watch this one again.

[claylon]

lvnc25 I agree When Clay sings he is just the most beautiful person, that voice, and something else inexplicable happens LOL

[bocher222]

poof

[wkares]

JUST FANTASTIC.

[kissysakura]

ok that haircolor and hairdo look great on him

gay or not this has been the best look on him!!

[chisaoboy]

Freakin' remarkable. Thank you for sharing.

[LuvLifeandClay]

i can't even begin to explain his voice in this song. that ending-perfection. i am so stunned. i'm going to watch it again.

[Taan123]

this performance is STUNNING!

[cooklee]

he is the best!

[clay2clay]

This song has been one of my favorites...now it's being sung by one of my favorite people, Clay Aiken!!

[MusikLuvrToo]

Fantastic singer, WONDERFUL person.

[LaurafromNY]

I love the lower register.

[clayfan123]

I could watch this video every day and NEVER get tired of it. Such a fantastic performance by a once in a lifetime performer.

If anyone hasn't bought his new CD 'On My Way Here' run, don't walk, to your nearest store and buy it. It's wonderful!

[luvatdw]

No, he wasn't off at all. He was spot on. Excellent performance. His new album - On My Way Here, is excellent. Go pick one up.

[rcknrllmom]

WOW...Absolutely INCREDIBLE......

[fadeddreams85]

Clay doesn't need any props, no special outfit, all he has to do is stand there and sing and tell a story. He does that extremely well. I love his beautiful gift God has given this young man! Oh to be young again! His mother did a great job raising him! Good video!

[JanineXThorin]

LOVE the nose scrinching he does when he sings!

[zoopy1]

People who spotted him sneaking into Hannah's last performance in Spamalot said he has dyed it dark brown again.

[buckleygeneration]

Say what you want about him as a person, he's still a fucking spectacular singer.

[claylon]

buckleygeneration.. He is just as spectacular a person as he is a singer, just not perfect like all of us.

[TaurionX]

Totally, this is his the best performance of Solitaire, and I think the best performance he has ever sung!

[londoncupcake93]

he was a bit off!

[songstressdiva1]

and you could do better - omg = a bit off - give me a break

[yanruz]

That was superb! Two thumbs up! Clay Aiken's talent is beyond compare and every performance he has is unparalleled!

[sinabro7096]

It is UNBELIEVEALBE!!!! I can't believe it. he is so great and perfect. I love him so much~!! OMG..

from korea.

[chriistiee]

wow. 3:41-end. the most amazing vocals.

[madelle266]

I still get boosebumps listening to Clay sing this. Hauntingly beautiful. He is sooooooooo nice to look at too, very hot!

[steviethecat]

P.S. if you search YouTube and find the double version of him singing it on American Idol (a short version & then later the full version for the finals), it will make you wonder, now matter how good Reuben is, how in the world Reuben beat him that year.

[mellowcopter]

The other day I heard this playing at Walgreen's Pharmacy, of all places, and got really excited 'cause I'd never heard it before. God bless YouTube, and thanks for posting this - I "secretly love Clay", too!

[steviethecat]

I love Clay and it's NO secret. LOL I'm loving that you heard it in Walgreen's. I would have had to stop shopping and just stand there!!

[mellowcopter]

...Ha! That's exactly what I did! My only regret was that for a minute I thought it might be a song from a new CD. *sigh*

[JesusWeeps420]

Ah Neil Sedaka... what an awesome songwriter you are muffin.

I love listening to Clay sing, it seem so effortless

[b1ackroses]

My god, can he sing or what.

[amexred]

This was a fantastic, superb whatev you wanna call it type of performance!

winebubbles is right, "Clay PWNS this song."

[GentleGrace]

oh wow, just beautifully sung. Clay is an incredibly talented young man. He is also very humble, did you see him after he ended the song, and how genuinely humble he was?!

Great tribute and honor to Neil Sadaka, great song Neil, amongst so many more, we have enjoyed and been blessed with all these years, wow fifty years what a tribute!

[yoonsoso]

his voice is so perfect!

[elbalaivun]

Wow, I just stumbled upon this! Was this event on TV? I can't imagine it being on and everyone not talking about this performance. Clay Aiken can sing! Is he on tour or doing anything?

[SecretlyLovesClay]

No this event was not on TV. It was a celebration of Neil Sedaka's 50 years of music. Clay recently finished his 8th tour and is now on Broadway in Spamalot. You should go see it!

[elbasha123]

WOW!!

i'm speechless!

[Klnchoi]

brilliant!

clay totally owns this song:)

[winebubbles]

Clay pwns this song.

[BlueEyesDance]

I wish that Clay would come back to Indianapolis sometime...he is always about 100 miles away on either side of me.

[claylon]

I am someone that has always scoffed at people who are starstruck, never ever got that rubbish. What a surprise!!! I am totally floored by this amazing man. What an phenomenon. Thank you Lisa.

[vzlanita86]

He's so good! No... He's the best =)

[Stomp4Clay]

Clay just gets better and better. Amazing!!! Simply Amazing!!

[seala064]

All I can say is...

DAMN!

That man just keeps getting better... is that even possible?

[lurkerchic]

Is it possible? He just keeps gettting better, stronger and his command of the stage....gah! He really is one of the best ever!

[claylon]

Hi lurkerchic... Yes it is possible, that is what makes Clay, he actually does get better and stronger. Never seen anything like him. He will go on doing the same I am sure. Most singers have not got the scope to do that. Awesome.

[miraclay]

Thanks, SLC, he's unbelievable.

[tiffanymiller310]

gosh... he is so amazing! THANK YOU for getting this for us, SLC.... you rock!!

[rubyredcat23]

Just love this video. Wow!

[cillianslass]

wow you can really tell he's thinking about his dad...his voice is so serene compared to the recording.

[latte27]

he has sooooooooooooooooooooooo a goooooooooooooooooooooooood voice

[Bucky1215]

With that God given miracle of a voice and performance ability, Clay has no equal.

Absolute Perfection. Thanks for sharing this wonderful video.

[perfectdaywithclay]

There is only one other legendary artist/singer that has Clay's range and stage presence. He is the one and only David Bowie. Otherwise I can't think of anybody else. I was so lucky to see this performance live!

[VoxAngelicus]

I love the way Clay smiles after the young girl yells, "I love you, Clay." He's so cute! And that voice--it's utterly spell-binding. What an amazing performance! Thank you, SLC, for capturing these moments in all their beauty.

[doyuwanna]

WOW...WOW...WOW!!!!

[christalite]

I love this video! Clay was just amazing as usual.

[marys2020]

I just love to listen to Clay sing. He sounds brilliant here. Also the face looks a bit thinner and thats good too. yay clay!!

[stargazed]

Wonderful!

[claylon]

LOVE CLAY HE IS AMAZING

[claylon]

I AGREE

[stargazed]

Thank you SLC, you always deliver but so does Clay. Love your closeups of that fabulous face.

Chalk another great performance up for Clay.

[wolfito28]

I Know English But I'm wondering If clay Sometime Record Some song In spanish

[kelliebo]

Clay does not sing in Spanish. The only American Idol contestant who ever sang in Spanish, you can see and hear, just put these words in the search box. Sanjaya : Besame Mucho. That is Jennifer Lopez talking to him.

[mceachm]

SLC, great video as usual. Knockout performance by Clay of a standout Neil Sedaka composition. Can't get much better then that!

[latte27]

cool

[beverlygw]

The sparkle is back in his eyes, and that famous smile when he finishes the song.

[soneboy111]

Clay-amazing voice, beautiful spirit!!!

check out my new video! search: soneboy

Only 1 week until I get to see and hear him LIVE in Vegas!!

[futuremrsaiken]

BEST PERFORMANCE OF ANY SONG EVER!!!!!!!!!!! and *THUD* HE IS HOT

[returnofaiken]

Might I correct myself if I can.....the note is actually a whopping 16 seconds. Thanks. :)

[returnofaiken]

I just had to watch it again...and again...and again. He hit EVERY note perfectly, and...GOOD GOD, that one glory note was 14 seconds! GOD!! Amazing. He will never cease to amaze me.

[austinclaymate]

i still cant believe how AMAZING he sounded that night. and he looks absolutely gorgeous!!

[annieg9]

Absolutely incredible!! Beautiful!

I love it SLC, thank you!!

[karinage88]

[returnofaiken]

HAHHAHH! Love the near breakdown when someone stepped in front of the camera, SLC! :)

[sectman44]

That was just absolutely breathtaking. Thank you so much for this video. No one can sing like our Clay - with that range! And is he ever gorgeous.

[lilmilou]

Bravo! An amazing performance!

Clay Aiken, Neil Sedaka & David Foster together equal sheer brilliance!

[lilmilou]

Bravo! what an amazing performance!

Clay Aiken, Neil Sedaka & David Foster together equal sheer brilliance!

[wagnerdancer]

How does he do it? How can he get better and better? Answer: Who cares 'cause he gives my goosebumps goosebumps from head to toe! SLC Thanks for the outstanding, heartstopping, spellbinding Clack!!!!!

[teritunes]

Had to listen to this again--it's just unbelievable.

[judyjudyjudyjudy]

beautiful! 

each time Clay sings this song he does it a little differently. This is my favorite.

[vstreamer]

Everytime Clay does Solitaire he knocks it out of the park!

[malihini11]

What can a person say, just when you

think he cannot get any better, he

does!! Wonderful performance, incredible

voice.

[EthelB]

Spread some buttah on me because I am TOAST after this AWESOME performance by Clay.

Thank you, thank you and thank you again SLC for yet ANOTHER great piece of CLACK!

BTW SLC, I heard your ALMOST meltdown when someone stepped in front of your camera. LOL

[avasearch]

Bravo Clay !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Claysidney]

Beautiful voice...I have listened attentively to his splendid song. And I have stared at his beauty.

Thanks a lot SLC! :)

[singzit]

Ok, WOW! He's really really good. Amazing rendition of that song. Again, WOW!

[ellenvpm]

he did it again. Man, what a perfect song for a perfect singer...........

[ConnieInHouston]

Thank you for this brilliant song, Mr. Neil Sedaka. 

Bravo, Clay Aiken, for helping to make Neil's special evening so memorable.

[sectman44]

Words cannot express how beautiful that was - his range!! And is he ever gorgeous!!! No one can close to him singing - he is just the best.

Thank you for the video!

[lvnc25]

Bravo Clay!! Stupendous performance.

[sectman44]

Absolutely awesome. He his just the best - no one can sing better & he's so gorgeous!

[beverlygw]

These close-ups are amazing. They make Clay's performance even better, if possible.

[bbandit31]

Thanks SLC for capturing this wonderful piece of history. Absolutely heartstopping performance from Clay, as always.

[jensiuiscool]

clays fans are the most devoted fans i have ever seen

[maggez]

Beautiful! It's no wonder that Neil said this song is Clay's. At an occasion like this I do wish that the noisier of Clay's fans would control themselves until Clay is finished with the song. Applause when Clay comes on stage would be fine however.

[Ericapl]

Loved it!  He sings it so naturally!

[vstreamer]

The closeups are wonderful. Clay was such great cheekbones.

[bearcatnat]

Absolutely beautiful. You nailed it Clay! Great videography by SLC. Thanks!

[kdmomont]

What a song and what a voice. Beautiful!!

[emerson032]

Belissimo, Clay!!! What an amazing song (Neil Sedaka)...what an amazing rendition.

[mycuteclay]

The power and clarity of Clay's voice is amazing! He nails it every time! We are so lucky to be living in this generation to hear such an amazing singer.

SLC, wonderful closeups...thanks for doing this for us!

[psbintl]

Brilliant Performance by Clay!

Brilliant photography and video! The close-ups are fantanstic!

Thanks SLC!

[83kermit]

Absolutely breathtaking. Bravo Clay and well done SLC in capturing it so perfectly.

[lindavip]

Priceless!! Clay is so great. Thanks for sharing this!! Absolute perfection!!

[claying4keeps]

THANK YOU to SLC for capturing this incredible MOMENT IN TIME!!!!! The whole performance was a "Rare Jewel", but I must say the low baritone moments blew my right out of my seat!! How Blessed I feel to have had the opportunity to experience this "Once in a Lifetime" Performance first hand!!!!! I am SO PROUD to be a "Clay Fan"!!!!!!

[keldanker]

Just wonderful! Your close ups are amazing. What a voice!!

[tdallasw]

Beautiful closeup shots of a phenomenal performance by Clay. This rendition of Solitaire is his best yet!!! OUTSTANDING VIDEO!!!

[simplyluvhim]

Incredible...magnificent...ama­zing...not enough superlatives to adequatelydescribe this man's talent and stage presence. Love the video!!!

[greeeneyza]

The closeups are breathtaking!!

Clay needs to put you on the payroll!

[teritunes]
