Clay's performance of this song is just amazingly beautiful. I can see why Neil Sedaka was moved to say what he did. It truly is Clay Aiken's song. Thank you, Neil -- and Clay.
He said in an interview he requested no graphics or picture of him on the screens behind him for this song. The stage manager agreed and the effect worked. Guy is amazing, and his version of this song which he released is even more incredible! Thanks for posting it.
he's the reason why i was hooked to AI ^_^...but carrie underwood is my favorite...this season has a lot of good ones..but i'm really rooting for robbie and scotty and thia hehe
He almost always ends his song's with the sweetest smile, I think that was part of the reason America fell in love with him, but he is by far the best singer American Idol has ever had on the show......He should have won....
gay or straight, black, white, brown or any other color of the rainbow he is still the most amazing performer that has come across the AI stage! I have NEVER heard a contestant with such a pure and powerful voice before...all this time later and he still amazes me with his talent! He should have won that year...he earned it (however being second seems to have worked out well for him as well..but he deserved the title!)

@queen2105 there's a full version he sang I guess when he's no longer Idol contestant. But I like this version better.
