I remember just sobbing when Ryan called Ruben's name instead of Clay's that night. it's kinda odd how he came in second, but he seems to have had a much more successful career than Ruben did. Clay keeps singing today while Ruben just seems to have disappeared
I could watch this over & over & over. It gives me chills every time. Clay should have won, he is the only contestant to ever give me chills like that. Ruben to me always sang in a monotone it seemed to me that all his songs sounded the same. Clays range was unbelievable.
I've seen lots of Clay's videos during the AI2 competition but GOD!!! I just don't get enough of him!!!! He is just sooooooo goooood!! WHAT A VERY TALENTED GUY!!!
good for u Clay<3 u were AMAZING that night and deserve the #1 title but he accepted it<3333 great guy!

Clay Aiken is a class act. You don't see a lot of people like him on AI. He is truly one of a kind. :-) Not to mention he's got one heck of a voice!

Didnt he perform "Here There and Everywhere" at the finale?

Yes he did, but they did not include it in the finale. They only showed two songs for Clay and two for Ruben.

This really made me cry again. This to me is the darkest age of my life. I'm so proud of Clay and I know God will continue to bless him.

Thank you for posting this!
Clay is a really amazing guy and no wonder I fell in love with him even though I didn't watch American Idol. Loved his last comment on the stage.
Clay, please keep this job for us as long as you're alive!!!
