Standing O by most there -- great performance by 2 good friends. They were so great in their Timeless Tour last summer. Strengths of both men were on display as well as their wit & humor. Love it! Clay's voice is still just that amazing.
Love the way they did Jesus Is Love. Don't even get me started on Clay and his glory notes. **swoons** thud.Think there were alot of surprised people in that audience when Clay does those notes
Clay gives me chills...I loved this duet.....I miss him terribly, and can't wait for his summer tour with Ruben. 2003 Idol still is and will remain the best ever!
They both have two different styles. Ruben has a beautiful voice and can really sing, Clay has such a powerful and pure voice but he is the ultimate entertainer!! And they are both great friends, way to go guys!!!
ruben did great with all of those runs and they sound great together, but man, clay blew him out of the water. not to take anything away from ruben, but i still dont know how clay lost...
Clay won the award, and was so gracious as to cut his solo short to allow Ruben time to do a solo also, and then they did a duet written by Lionel Ritchie. Beautiful song, and Clay hit thse incredible glory notes effortlessly (and held them forever). What a class act he is. How could we not just love him to death?
Go clay!!! And I prefer clay's hairstyle here rather than now. His hair is not too dark, neither is it to blonde. And I like it as it is combed up rather than his current one now, where its more frinch. However, as bowl72 says, I'm with clay no matter what =D
HOLY NOTE by Clay!!! I can't get over that!!! Not to mention, those two harmonize amazingly well together...I'm suprised neither have done a duet on one of their albums yet...they should! Probably this one!
WOW... Clay's Glory Note?? *whistles* Perfection! Not to mention it goes from 04:08 to 04:25 =17 seconds at a high register? Damn!
Yeah, I miss those Clay days when Clay would let it out like that, but his new singing style is still as good. Also, am I the only one who misses Clay from his hey-days" in 2004? But I'm a total Claymate through thick and thin, so keep on rockin' Clay!

Oh and I liked Jimmie Kimmel's "Spaghetti and Meatball of American Idol" Comment. =)
I'm totally with you I miss the old clay very much. But I am also a Claymate and no matter he choses to do I'm behind him all the way. And yeah that note was well there's not words to decribe it.
I think it was close to 14 seconds if you don't count it by the time that was on the player. lol WOW. That's incredible. Just like how he sang Solitaire in Season 3. I have YET to count how long that note was. Impressive.

Clay has perfect pitch! He never wears an ear piece so he can hear himself. And that note he held at toward the end.....
Yeah pretty much amazing!!

Am I the only one who feels like Clay was trying to out sing Ruben?
I mean I understand he didn't HAVE to bring Ruben on, but why hold that note for so long in a DUET?

I miss Clay hitting these high notes. He didnt
really do it on his 4th album=(.But Ruben and Clay go right in perfectly! jesus, that note is just amazing! His Solitare note was 16 secs
long. I can hit both of those notes! Clay is
magnaficant!! Love him
clayaikenlover08 3 years ago
The Solitare note is 16 seconds and I can hold
it! =). Jimmy seems a little harsh about Ruben
what he had said. But i loove this duet! I giv
them both a standing O! I love this song. Amazing job by both
