  • Your a U2 Fan. That's all you hear, and all you want to see. Open your mind, and recognise that a new talent is amongst us. I grant you U2's artistry, but this is also artistry, which must be observed without former influences/

  • Is he really the son of one of the producers from SAW? : P

  • god i love him.

  • He is magnetic! he pulls you in!!! Amazing performer

  • What a fun concert -- and a great opening. I was there!  He was amazing -- and he still is. I know of no one else who can sing the variety of songs that Clay sings.

  • It's all in the hands.

  • He is awesome, and brings excitement to this song.

  • I am a massive U2 fan. And this is a disgrace. The musical performance is alright, and the singing isn't horrible (but not great either), but this masterpiece of a song was meant for greater things than this. He walks around w/ the energy and mannerisms of a 1940's crooner (check out the cutsie sly little pointing thing he does at 2:10 for example). Other times his mannerisms are like a bad Thanksgiving parade musical production (2:33 and following for example). Ugh!

  • Well "Dung" considering what your name means, it sounds like you don't know "dung".

  • jelous much?

  • this is blashemy!

    Clay can sing but Bono puts the passion into it. Afterall, it's his song!

  • ... I was at this concert(s). He was amazing, and STILL is. He did a great job with U2's song!! cathy4clay

  • Great job by Clay. Bono would be pleased. These two men are so much alike. They are not only performers, but devote their lives to making a difference in this world. Both are beautiful souls and we are blessed to have them in our lives.

  • I love how Clay sings this song. I like U2 very much. Always enjoy their music. But, Bono, is a good singer. Clay is a great singer. Clay actually has a real voice, and can sing the notes, and stay on key. HE is the best male voice out there. He can sing any song, from any genre. And, this is no way a diss to Bono. They are a great band. Without the band though, Bono would be just an ordinary singer. He's good. he's not fantastic. And, not only can Clay sing, he is the ultimate performer.

  • I like the Vanessa Carlton version...Listen to it at youtube!!!

  • I like U2. I like Clay Aiken. However, he is trying to oversing a song that is not meant to be oversung.

  • I like the song but I don't think that Bono is the only one who can sing it. Clay makes this song soar. He adds a whole new level to it. U2 has a great sound but Bono is no great vocalist in my opinion. I would prefer Clay with U2 backing him....that would be a great show.

  • Bono wrote the song. They are his words.

    Clay What'shisname probably has no idea what the song is about. It's essentially about heaven- a place where the streets have no name and we are all equal in the eyes of God. At least according to Bono in "U2 by U2".

    Aiken is a fine singer, but noone performs this like Bono, Edge, Adam, and Larry. I've seen it live many times and it still send chills up the spine.

  • he sings this the best

  • The real shame is that Kelly and Clay are such wonderful friends. Clay has much more generous and forgiving fans though (they never DISS Kelly like her fans do to Clay). They just have a lot more class.

  • wow, I still get chills up my spine when I see him do that song. The place just went crazy when he entered. Pay no attention to kelly's little fans here...children must play. It's been three years and they still can't get over the fact that Clay outshone their Yelly.

  • some people are soooo jealousthey have to say something some negative. Heaven help them.

  • U2 is an amazing band that precious few can touch. Have you heard this version by MercyMe? I think they really did a good job with it just like Clay. It's not bad :)

  • Love the hand woooooshy kinda thing he does. His songs are so much better with his hands

  • Could he be anymore ... camp ... with the hand thing?

  • I thought this was cool that he started out with this song. I personally love U2 and didn't think he boatched it at all. Plus, it was a treat to hear him sing one of my fave bands songs (it'll due til I see Bono and the boys LIVE)

  • You can't really compare the two singers, they are both so different, their voices and ranges. He does an excellent job, although no one can really duplicate Bono. I liked it.

  • wow! it never occurred to me to go and find videos of people i could'nt stand, listen to them and then waste my time talking about it. why?

  • Who's Clay Aiken and why does he suck?

  • Clay Aiken can sing anything

  • umm.......Bono has an extraordinary voice. And that superbowl halftime show was one of the best performances ever. This is a joke. I mean, could he be any more uninspired?

  • The haters will hate and Clay will STILL be the best male singer and performer of this generation. He rocks. They're jealous.

  • I agree with those who said that he could sing his own songs-but in that time he hadn´t enough his own songs..but he surely has better voice than Bono..

  • You know, y'all are just jealous that he can actually sing the song flawlessly and Bono can't Bono's got that scratchy throat and has trouble with half of the notes. Bono's a lot more hype than he is talent. Don't believe me? Listen to Bono performing this from Super Bowl 36 (Rams vs. Patriots). U2's a good band and WTSHNN is a fantastic song, and Bono is a great humanitarian, but he doesn't quite have the voice that Clay does.

  • Wow, it's like Karaoke with a bigger production budget. Maybe he should try writing his own songs instead of butchering those of others.

    At least a few props to his anonymous guitarist, who manages to approximate the guitar tones on this song without it sounding embarassing.

  • lol u2 should sue him just for laughs...

  • Can you ppl please get lives and use your time towards more constructive things? If you don't like Clay, then why are you sitting here listening to him? Go do something more constructive please. Go watch music videos of your favorites. We don't go search other artists and bash them. Just let us enjoy it, and all of you should do the same with your favorite artists.

  • You do know this is a U2 song huh?

  • yeah, this is pretty sad. i agree with whoever said that he's singing this like a love song... not even close. he's not bono... he's just not.

  • I love this song...great entrance too!

  • Looks like he doesn't know the meaning of what he'S singing... He acts like it is a love song... but its not!

  • Oh man...the guy sure tries. Its endearing, really.

  • by the way he didnt win american idol and he only sang that song as he only had his first album out and 12 songs wouldnt be a good concert

  • please give me a break. clay go shoot yourself, write your own songs. Winning American Idol doesn't mean you're good. I hate you and all the other American idol winners.

  • adolescent voice? lol..he's 28!!! ....weirdo!

  • this is almost as depressing to me as 9-11.

  • His fuckin adolescent voice annoys me... he ruined the greatest song ever

  • FLAMER

  • OMG...What mall was this filmed at? I have seen less annoying versions after 11 beers at a karokee bar.

  • He killed a great song and he acts too cocky with that microphone

  • clay rocks!! I'm so in love with him

  • can he write his own songs the plonker

  • I agree that child can sign whatever he sets his mind to. He has a wonderful voice and great spirit.

  • I love the way Clay sings this song! He can see anything.

  • amen

  • Eh, the links won't work unless you delete the space between "v" and "="
