Clay Aiken - Solitaire

[Krichardvn94]

He sang the Carpenters' version, not Neil Sedaka! Just notice the lyrics.

Maybe he is a fan of the Carpenters!

My dream would get the two best gay singers in the world to do a duet, adam lambert and clay aiken I love them bothI don't think they like each other but thier voices in harmony would be amazing. just a thought. Thier both theriortical, octave voices totally different but yet both awesome. Perfect duet i think or perfect storm not sure! Interesting thought don't you think?

I keep coming back to watch this performance...

[MrBigYum]

This was one of my favorite ones that Clay did.

He really did have an astounding sound quality.

And yes he was time enough for Ruben. I totally agree with the way this season turned out.

only problem with Clay is that they started screwing around after this, had him made up into a Beatle at one point and Barry Manolo the next. Then it got straight up feminine.

This was a good look for him. They should have stopped here, but kept on going until they got down right ridiculous and embarrassing.

[MrBigYum]

Amazing!

He should be crying

And yet, he's dry.

My name is Kenneth.

C'est UN Ange, avec la voix d'un Ange. Tant de tendresse dans une voix....et dans ses actes. God Bess Him and "You"

[exmousse]

i want to hear him sing this a capella

[monsonize]

..............a good singer is always a good singer GOOd JOB Clay

[helenedquid]

OMG!, Clay is one of the best singer of American Idol,

[MegaDianal]

When I got this song, I played it over and over. This man has a voice and know how to use it

[misAgentX44]

wow

[Yugizu]

wow,

higher then the original

[inezmaciel]

One of the best... if not the best American Idol EVER. Im my opinion, you were the WINNER Clay. People that "counted" the votes... maybe they are not good in math...

[ClaysSTO]

Not many singers could stand up there with nothing but a backing track and a mic and sing like that. No flashing lights, no fire, no loud music -- Just Clay and a microphone -- his voice is mesmerizing. The words to Solitaire are sad and his face shows that sadness to me. Amazing performance.

[whoathatwasrandom]

Wow... when I first saw this performance on TV I was only ten or so, but I still remember it and watch it every once in a while :D

[pamelaliebschen85]

I think his voice has much emotion in every song he sings, he is awesome and can't agree more with diguinhos2kelly, he too gives me chills when he sings.

[IdolReady]

Clay is a good singer but that was very emotionless

[Frafty]

@IdolReady  lmao, because it's Solitare. You're supposed to have a stone face.

[Dluvs2jam]

I truly think you like to be alone....and really there is nothing wrong with that.....its okay its really okay :)

[arielLoveEric]

i love his facial expression, especially his eyes. Those too attractive :">

[teaktrub]

very nice... very effortless... but still he should give a facial expression... otherwise it will be not be called a performance... but still another stunning vocal power... is that right??

[lzmiranda]

no.

[diguinhos2kelly]

my goooooooooooood!

he can siiiiiiiing!

it gives me chills too lol

[nickJonasIShotness]

hes adorable :)

[claykitty01]

He sings this with such passion it gives me chills!!! Simply wonderful!!!!

[claykitty01]

I disagree my friend. I think he sings this wonderfully. But everyone does hear it different. This one was short. I love the longer version better, but I still believe this version is wonderful. =)
