Being a diehard Claymate, I don't think he can give a bad performance, despite what Simon thinks. He's far surpassed Rueben in his career and I hope he furthers his career, and is a really good role model for his new son!
Clay never talked back to the judges,even when some of Simon's comments were rude & degrading.Love how he was always respectful. He let his excellent performances be the last thing on audience's minds.He looks so relaxed after performances during judges comments. He's a winner on so many different levels. The real American Idol of 2003!!
The more of Simon's comments I hear about Clay, the more I feel like he just says something negative to be different from anyone else. Motown the musical? Whatever that means, Simon! Musicals require strong singers too. Quit dissing on them. Clay did a great job.
Yeah, like he just didn't like his personality... broadway or not Clay can sing! Damn that's what it's about and broadway singers can are some of the best.. so Simon was tryna be negative but in fact he was giving Clay a compliment... Clay realized some years later! lol
Guys do you remember when Clay had on those really tight pants and everyone made fun of him? What performance was that?! I can't remember... it seems so long ago!
whos the black dude??? (not randy)

Clay can laugh at some of their comments all the way to the bank.

Simon keeps it real and while Clay sang this song well it is cabaret. Clay has the last laugh though since he is now on Broadway.

wish they'd said something like-'you don't have the soul of the song'-that's what Simon Cowell is for.
