I grew up listening to Barry Manilow. He did a Christmas performance with Barry Manilow. I like Clay even better. I would love to see him in concert. Clay has a wider range of songs he can sing compared to Barry Manilow.
I just love Clay and his amazing voice, Sad thing is, in all the ignorance hate lies and bigotry that surrounds him, in the media,all this mind blowing talent might be lost. I hope I am SO wrong. SOB !!!!!! Doesn't matter who I listen to, they ALL fall short. His voice is tops.
I do not understand why the man never gets radio play on any kind of station. I requested a christmas song of his at a local station where I live and I do not think they ever played it.
I tell ya the man can sing anything...I just wish he would make a few better career moves and he would be as big if not bigger than Kelly Clarkson, he has the voice, he just has to find his niche.
I believe that after all of those rumors created by the media, Clay did not want to be around press too much anymore. Some singers would be happy to be on his place because sadly the more rumors are created around you the more popular you are; but Clay probably did not want it to be that way;
The new artists keep the old songs alive. Some people may not like the cover versions, but if it wasn't for them, todays generation would not know half the old songs.

i'm sorry, but this was crap. I'm a huge Elvis fan and this is an insult to him. i hate that Aiken takes classic rock songs and turns them all into ballads..he did the same with Billy Joel's "Tell Her About It"
I have to disagree with you. I too am a huge Elvis fan. I have all his records including two different versions of Suspicious Minds. Two different singers doing different versions of the song and both doing it with their own passion. I take it you have not seen Clay do this live???? Check it out if you get a chance. I agree that "Tell Her About It" was not the best version however.
@fonzhom No I Am A Huge Elvis Fan He Is The Only King And This And Kentucky Rain Are My Favorite Songs BUT Clay Does A Good Job And Is A Good Singer Robbie Williams Does Good Job Too Listen To BJ Thomas Do It Also For The Old School Way
When Clay did his Elvis set last year, Elvis fans were asked what they thought. There was a positive reaction. One Elvis fan said, "The kid done good."
Yes, I understand using profanity was unnecassary, and I apologize. As I said earlier, I just don't like the idea of Clay Aiken performing a song like Suspicious Minds.
That's fine. You are entitled to your opinion as I am mine. Next time please refrain from using the word bitch. One is not a bitch for having different tastes in music. That was uncalled for. Clay is only one of dozens of artists I enjoy. There are many more I do not like but I certainly don't call someone a bitch because they like it. To each his own. Chow!

Whatever. I'm just a teenager, and I do a better version of this song. I'm just saying, Aiken shouldn't even attempt such a wonderful song. He ruined it.
I would love to hear your version of the song. Let me know where I can see it. I will give you my honest opinion. As a music major, I think I am qualified to do this. ;)
Someone pissed in your cornflakes this morning!!! I happen to be an Elvis fan myself. Nobody can sing this song like the King I agree. Clay does a good version.
Unfortunately, the world if full of narrowminded haters like yourself. You might find if you open you mind a bit, you might even appreciate good music. Your loss. ;-)
Clay looks like the love child of Ed Grimley and Alfred E. Newman

If I could get my version of it, I'd put it up here, however, I don't have one at the moment to share.
I'm just saying, I'm not a fan of Clay Aiken. I never was. And I think if he's gonna attempt Elvis, he needs to do it right.
