I have see that particular movie hundreds of times (Im crazy about clay) and today i have noticed that the background vocals in 0:50 are singing "breath each other" while he is singing "together" :D
...I think Clay was "too technical"... I feel like the way he delivered it was a bit "old fashioned" , his voice was great, this is awesome...! thanks 4 posting....!
All what I can think when I hear this guy is, Disney, in the good way, his voice is beautiful, sadly I don't really belive that he had anything else but american Idol, just because he looks a bit nerdie :(
Clay's voice vs. Ruben's---Ruben does have a nice voice but it is almost a 'one-note' voice. Clay's vocal talents are way above Ruben's and most of the other finalists that appeared on AI. Clay also has the much better stage presence. He has appeared on live stage, on tv, in print, etc. more than ALL the other contestants combined. There is no arguing that. His over-all talents are far and above the majority of the contestants. Clay beat the living daylights out of Ruben as THE winner of AI2.
Ruben does have that pitiful face (lol!) But on a serious note, he has a beautiful voice. When he's singing, he doesn't look like that. And the statement that "it's unquestionable that clay's the best" is your opinion and that's okay because we all have a right to our opinion. In my opinion, Clay is not even on Ruben's level. Clay has a very nice voice but he gets on my nerves after a while. Even on this song; it's something BUGGY about him after a while. Ruben is cool and he can SANG!!
of course you have a right to have your opinion as well; and I respect it a lot; but did you really hear what all experts on AI were saying about Clay's vocal ability? All experts were agree that his voice and vocal talent are on an exceptional high level
Actually, as I'm reading my comment back tonight, I was a little unfair in my comments towards Clay. I have actually always felt that Clay was a very good singer. That noted, I guess a better way of putting it is that sometimes he is too proper and precise in the way that he delivers his songs. If he could loosen up a bit and have a bit more fun, it would be nice. If we're speaking voice alone, his voice is nice. I personally prefer Ruben's whole style more but it doesn't mean Clay can't sing.
I know what you mean, Clay always strived for perfection with the performance of his song! But i'm glad you noticed that when we write a comment then go back and take a look at it agian, we wish we could of edited some things. Isn't that so? Sometimes we might over-do it in the actual moment. Isnt that so?
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
How???????Well....let me see here....Number one, Ruben sings the best. Number two, he looks the best. Number three, America enjoyed him more. Number four, he's a talented and kind-hearted not to mention humble. Number five, it's American Idol not Broadway tryouts. Number six, djparrish01's opinion was unimportant because RUBEN STUDDARD was season 2's american idol because he was......
I hate to break it to you but being the best doesn't get you the title of American Idol. Even Simon would tell you that. THE determinant is how many votes the contestant got.
Oh, I already know that! You don't have to 'break it to me'. I agree with you totally! But in some cases, the BEST does win. Like this case. Ruben was the best. I think Kelly Clarkston and Tamyra Gray were a tie so Kelly deserved it. Fantasia was definitely the best in her season. Latoya, Jennifer, and George sang just as well but Tasia had the whole package. This year both David's were great but in my opinion, Archuleta is the better vocalist. So again, I know it's all about the votes.
i DON'T SEE WHERE HE(CLAY) PUSHES HIS VOICE. HE JUST HAS THIS HUGE VOCAL RANGE. KIMBERLEY LOCKE HAS THIS HUGE SOULFUL APPEAL TO HER VOICE. RUBEN IS LIKE THE SECOND COMING OF THE SOUL LEGENDS LIKE LUTHER VANDROSS.
gth724a....actually I'm a singer. not tone deaf at all. i stated that he had a nice voice but he's very broadway and it can be buggy at times. you must not be a singer otherwise you'd get my drift. he tries to hard.
Lord, can't you kids find something more important to fight about. I love me some Clay Aiken; he's my all time favorite but I gotta say I loved me some Elliot on his season. They both know how to put it out there. Spread the love around!!!
Clay did a good job with this song specially hitting up the bridge part...perfect!you are the best!i should get a copy of your cd,Jeffrey Osbourne is great knowing that he is the original one but he turns me down when i watched his live video the bridge part,he is supposed to hit it up the shout part but his back up did it,so i think ain't good!it sounds like he only can sing it well on studio records but not live as what clay Aiken did.he really justified this song beautifully!
nicely done aiken
