  • Wtf. Is it the bridge of the false fake teeth. What a murder of Simon and Garfunkle...

  • Fake and Gay

  • Clay should have won just like Adam Lambert should of won Jennifer Hudson should of won I am so done with Idol

  • Ruben who ??

  • Only two winners of AI should have actually won ... Kelly and Carrie. So what's new? The last three or four have really been terrible choices ... including one-range Scotty. Clay was one of the very best.

  • Can't you all just shut up and enjoy the video? :/

  • @TheRaginghearts you cant hear anyone one talking so why are you telling them to shut up. Really your not enjoying the video either because you wrote this comment. So you sir just made no sense.

  • @mushoo4 I never said I didn't enjoy the video. In fact, I enjoy it so much I keep playing it in a loop. Frankly, YOU'RE the one who didn't make any sense. :P I was only talking about those people who are feuding about his gender and stuff. No need to get mad at me. Jeez.

    And for the record, it's MA'AM. Thank you very much.

  • @TheRaginghearts ok MA'AM when did i say i was mad at you. all i said was that saying shutup to people you cant hear makes no sense.

  • huiiiii ancak bana

  • This was an EPIC PERFORMANCE....How is it that the best singers always come in 2nd place!

    Clay proved to be the bigger star in the end anyway

  • @Topkat311 mang lu beneran suka banget ma dia

  • sa voix ne va pas avec son corps ahah

  • Oh, wait.... I can have Clay Aiken. --Achmed, "The Dead Terrorist"

  • If this doesn't win you the competition, I don't know what will.

  • good but not the best xP

  • love ryan's tips

  • Ok, make that 30 minutes that I'll never get back...haha. This forum is ridiculous...sucked me right in.

  • This may have been the greatest...until Adam Lambert took the stage.

  • @87AllAmerican agreed!!! Adam Lambert took Idol to a whole new place!!! the best season of American Idol

  • Comment removed

  • i don't like it.

  • Somebody needs to dress this little fruit.

  • I guess, then, you can now say you HAVE heard somebody who "introduced a mid-8 beat to a thingy wingy dingy" Just too sad you think there should BE point !!!!!

    I'd suggest you chill but you'd probably develop a line of angst to justify the opposite !!!

  • Nobody will ever beat Simon and Garfunkel.

  • @BigGreenMovieMachine of course not but this is one of the best covers ive heard

  • @mushoo4

    Couldn't agree more, he's amazing! :)

  • @BigGreenMovieMachine ...He just did.

  • @JHumisto

    What is that supposed to mean?

  • Don't get me wrong Clay, you have quality, great quality! But I've never met anyone introducing a mid-8 beat into what is a time established classic. You don't even sing from your heart? What's the fuckin point?

  • I grew up listening to this. Whilst my parents divorced in the modern 70's, this is 100% sh!t.

    The alternative? You tube the artist(s), live, listen & love passion.

  • Clay is the best!!!

  • Clay, where are you - come back !!!! have been watching Idol all over the world - haven't heard anything to touch you !!! one of my greatest pleasures listening to this again and again. As Randy says, "wha's happenin baby "

  • I have to agree, the best ever.

  • nice voice such a sweet baby face

  • Absolutely incredible. I love the original by Simon and Garfunkel but Clay blows them away sorry to say. WOW

    

  • is it just me ????? this guy just remembers me another great one that should have won....Rhydian... the voice, the facial expressions, the attitude...

  • JUST WOW!!! WHAT A BEAUTIFUL VOICE!!

  • I LOVE his voice!!!

  • Simon get off of your ass and give a standing O

  • Basically he should have won, hands down.

  • I don't care if someone is gay or not as long as no one, I mean no one, bothers me or my family, that's it. CLAY is PHENOMENALLY talented, has a fantastic voice and should have a fantastic career! I am not a kid and I am not gay, I love Clay. That's it!

  • Yo Clay... Me and Paula dude... Daum dawg what're you doing?!

  • i swear all my friends hate him but i don't care!!!!! I LOVE HIS VOICE! <333333333333

  • That high note at the ending was amazing!!!!

  • Love it, love it, love it!!! Man he can sing!!

  • @EZ996 But does he like it in the ass?

  • He is thrully great artist because he give to an old (beautiful...) song new soul with his own arangement. New style of interpretation.... (and with whom he sleep with, is irelevant at all.)

  • That voice comes out of him...

  • @joelkoodarkking wow you're such an asshole! whats wrong with being gay or being a lesbian? jeez, get over your fucking prejudices....theres gay people, so cry me a river, build a fucking bridge, and get the fuck over it!!!!

  • Comment removed

  • 2:15-2:26 PERFECTION!

  • and i ment clay not winning

  • this was the biggest screw job ever on A I

  • beyond perfection...

  • sorry but "Slow Ride" is the best idol performance.. Allison and Adam rocked it..

  • este joven canta impecablemente, no importa la vida sexual de nadie, cuando lo van ha entender. o es que se asustan cuando alguien diferente a lo comun sobre sale.

  • Homosexuals are so gay....

  • pfft fag

    

  • @warrior52110 your ignorant.........maybe people would like you more if you were not like that, saying fag is like saying "nigger" i believe there will be a gay civil rights movement and though i am not gay nor have i ever thought i was i will support there cause and they will win.

    btw. studies show people that use words like "fag" are the most insecure about their sexuality.

  • @thekittehman not knocking your point,but a gay civil rights movement?? ok, first off.gays run everything, to the point where straight people have to tread lightly. 2. I think the feminist movement would've been a better comparison.

  • @RyMuEntertainment sure, but people thought there wouldn't be a black civil rights movement, why cant there be one for homosexuals? im not saying its going to happen but im saying theres a chance. besides there are very subtle movements going on around the country as we speak!

  • @thekittehman by your response, I gather you really don't get my point. A gay rights movement is pointless.They already have all the rights. How about a united human rights campagne against the man for,health coverage, jobs etc. And for your information the civil rights movement was not only for blacks,hence the term "civil" for equality among all. And there were several whites who took part in the movement. The more rights one particular group gets,the more infringed the others will feel.

  • @thekittehman I like where your heart is but your point is so poorly argued that it borders on being nonsensical. Your grammar is atrocious and the sentence structure just appalling. It is deliciously ironic seeing as you had the audacity to call another user ignorant.

  • @UberGator I am so very sorry I do not major in the highest of studies of the English language like you do my friend, please forgive me.

  • this guy look likes he played Chucky,lol.

  • @thekittehman you're so ignorant you don't know how to use the proper form of "you are"

  • @thekittehman It's you're, not your. Ohh, and saying "studies show..." without even citing a source to back your argument makes a person look astronomically retarded.

    But I agree with you.

  • @Zerocyde my being being its not like a writing a college acceptance letter so theres no reason to go around youtube and to be a grammar nazi, adolf

  • @thekittehman There is reason if you are obviously using bad grammar due to being dumb (I haven't read the convo, not saying you are or anything... just saying) instead of being quick and lazy even. Using "your" instead of "you're" or instance, that is reason to corect.

  • @thekittehman *correct*.... And oh, you did use "your" incorrecly, you along with 80% of english speakers, what a shame...

  • @billymayer1000 does it matter that much?

  • @thekittehman It pains me to see bad grammar. Everywhere I go I see bad punctuation. I once knew a girl in the 8th grade who put apostropes before every S at the end of a word (for example, "Kittie's" for the plural of "Kitties"). The only way to improve grammar of people is to criticize their bad grammar.

  • @billymayer1000 you probably dont beilive me but i accutally am i great essay writer.

  • @thekittehman You can send me some documents if you like.

  • @billymayer1000 do you have an email adress i can send it too you by?

  • @thekittehman I'll pm you.

  • @billymayer1000

    Sorry but... what "apostropes" meens???

  • @MiNennuka It's spelled "apostrophe;" the symbol that is between the "t" and the "s" in the word "it's," (short-hand for "it is.") @billymayer1000: Dude, punctuation is important but spelling is, too! The only way to improve spelling is to criticize one's misspelling...not. Actually, man, the only way to improve it is to demonstrate how it is done properly. And, now that I've wasted 2 minutes that I'll never get back, I'll be going...

  • @Zerocyde Well, grammar errors aside (which have NOTHING to do with the subject of argument, lol), it's well known that people who use derogatory terms about sexual orientation are most aroused by sexual acts of members of the same sex. I read about it in numerous articles, and I have heard it brought up in many conversations since then. I write EBP papers all the time. When a theory is as well-proven as this one, it's ok sometimes to say "studies show" without a citation.

  • @thekittehman "studies show people that use words like "fag" are the most insecure about their sexuality." Enlish smokers must have it rough! I support the cause btw

  • @thekittehman i don´t understand how today´s ethics are so solid when people at school can just call you anything i still be super popular, people needs to stop puting everyone under the microscope by every single thing they say, you can´t judge everyone by only one thing they say

  • @thekittehman did u really say saying fag is like saying nigger who cares its his opinion not the world's i mean i say nigger all the time in front of black people they don't care its not like I'm saying yo nigger get the fuck over here. and you will support a gay civil rights movement does that mean like silencing people from saying fag to someone gay? because if so there is a thing called free speech and everyone uses it to there fullest desires i know i do but because its fun =3

  • @a7xsn1p3r free speech doesnt mean u can offend ppl so stfu

  • @a7xsn1p3r oh wow you must be very educated....cough....free speech is different than hate speech. Also if you have to resort to those names youre fairly ignorant....free or not

  • of course he is the best he won american idol!

  • @littleprincesscandy Erm, no Clay Aiken was the runner up on this season, he did not win American Idol.

  • He's got a great voice but frankly, I don't care for the "wobbling" around on half the notes ... I prefer my Bridge straight (no pun intended ;-)

  • Awesome job Clay!!

  • well america choose...and Clay obviously was not numero uno. sorry bra. ROLL TIDE!!!! GO RUBEN!

  • The Top 10 “American Idols” in album sales (figures approximate) according to billboard 4. Clay Aiken Season 2, runner-up Album sales: 5 million Digital track sales: 581,000 Concert revenue: $17.7 million 6. Ruben Studdard Season 2 winner Album sales: 2 million Digital track sales: 445,000 Concert revenues: N/A But Clay makes more money selling records SORRY BRA.
  • @shi3ldknight Let me ask you 1 question tho..CAN U KICK MYYYYYY ASSS?? I think not!!!!!!!

  • boooo!!!!!!!!! adam sucks too!

  • thought it was good, found out he was gay, so he sucks

  • He should have won, hands down!

  • I much prefer someone who chooses to sing songs that come from the heart, instead of the crap my generation has to deal with. *cough* Adam Lambert! *cough*

  • Adam Lambert was the best for me

  • @TheArcadeBit Please define "best" vis-a-vis Clay Aiken and Adam Lambert!

  • i love everything about this performance from beginning to the end. his voice is amazing! go clay. i wish i could sing like he can.

  • Kelly Clarkson was the first -- and the best -- Idol. This guy is good but not great. Lambert is an amazing talent. But Clarkson is the white Aretha Franklin and even more versatile than Aretha. She set and holds the idol standard.

  • Agreed!

  • Like Clay a lot, but, i'm sorry - the best Idol performances and best Idol ever is Adam Lambert!

  • A stunning performance from a beautiful human being. Oh that such talent should permeate the rest of humanity. Go for it Clay!

  • To all those who can't see the talent beyond "fag", just what in the hell have you done to make the world a better place? Clay does a beautiful job with this song.

  • Comment removed

  • @gdl0748 sad to see all those narrow-minded anti-gay comments. some people's brain must have been ARSE kicked...

  • there is no english x factor contestant who could sing this song any better, u go clay x

  • gay fag is gay

  • <3<3<3

  • LOL THE CHOIR GUY JUST FORGET TO DANCE 0:20

  • I agree - THE BEST AMERICAN IDOL PARTICIPANT EVER and it is now 2012!!!!

  • Well...I got to this video from Adam Lambert's version of 'Feeling Good' from American Idol and I can honestly say I don't think this is the best American Idol Performance ever.

  • This is one of the brightest stars in the galaxy. Truly a great singer and the most beautiful, kindest human being.

  • queer

    

  • @headoverhauler - Better to be a queer than a faggot homophobe like you. And if you dont like him, why are you even watching his video? Fuckin loser. Get a life you stupid fuckin inbred.

  • this version does injustice to the original

  • This performance kept me an American Idol fan. Has nearly nine years later. Brilliant performance.

  • boringggg

  • GAY... But Voice sound Great...

    

  • I can't believe this was almost 9 years ago! I still can't get enough of his voice!

  • I think he has a great voice and did a great job of singing this song. Its good to see young people with real talent.

  • He reminds me of Barry Manilow

  • This is one of my very favorite AI performances. It actually made me a Clay Aiken fan. He sounds fantastic.

  • He reminds me of Data from star trek lols

  • I used to be as gay as Clay Aiken, but then i took an arrow to the knee.

  • The man goes wrong at the front !! Ahahah !!

    

  • I just became a "Clay" fan ... never heard/saw this.

  • :O waooo nice song

  • I recommend the death penalty for the producer of this song.

  • He got cheated. He should have won. 

  • he makes me sick

  • For a minute I thought, o finally Thom Yorke Fixed his eye

  • Clay is going to be on this season's "Celebrity Apprentice" starting in February!!

  • *cough* cheesy as hell *cough* but seriously this takes away all the sentimentality of the original and makes it a stupid fucking pop song.

  • k no all i can see is ryan seacrest and his outdated look O.o

  • i love his eyes, and voice of course

  • i love this guy :D

  • How the hell did Reuben Studdard win against THIS?!

  • Hate this guy. Don't know how he won...

  • @juan123466 who did u hear form that he won? this guy came second to ruben studdard.

  • @nahomey1 Oh ya, sorry, that's right. Either way, still hate him and also hated Ruben....they are both really burning up the airwaves these days aren't they LOL

  • @juan123466 bullshit. who were you rooting for then.

  • @wwhulk12 Why bullshit? It's MY opinion, which I am entitled to. I didn't care that much for the finalists in that season, if I had to pick my fav I would say Kimberley Locke.

  • @juan123466 just making sure youre not a stupid troll just badgering american idol.

  • He is amazing, this is one my fave songs of a whole time and he just made it sounds tottaly new and fresh.... Became a huge fan of Clay because his talent and we are lucky to be able to hear this!

  • The best performances (in no order) I've heard on American Idol:

    -Clay Aiken: Bridge Over Troubled Water

    -Katharine McPhee: Somewhere Over the Rainbow

    -Adam Lambert: Tracks of My Tears

    -David Archuleta: Imagine

  • Clicked on this after listening to Garfunkel's live performance of this song in Central Park (c. 1981). This chap doesn't even come close to the original...and I mean NOT EVEN CLOSE.

  • @Kedbuka who gives a shit about what you say. he's still good

  • @jobmastablow F.O.

  • He should have won.

  • is it me or does he look a little like david bowie ?

  • @charlesandrewgreen It's not just you; I think he resembles Bowie also. I see it more in his post idol photos and post idol live performances. He has certain features and mannerisms of Bowie's especially when he is singing on stage. You have to be a Bowie fan like myself to spot them.

  • lol please, Kelly Clarkson was slaying while singing on american idol.

  • dunno how i landed on this video but am soooo inspired!!! he is sooooooooo fuckin great!!!!!!!!

  • Weird or not, this guy has a beautiful voice :)

  • haley reinhart.

  • gay

    

  • @danielwardone Oh grown up!

  • randy "i didnt know you had that note"

    actually, during (like ""A"" bridge) he sung the same Bflat.

  • @jive0in and on "truh uh ""bld"" water. yes i know its technically "trou uh bled" but that looks like the past tense of bleed

  • Comment removed

  • He's the manliest gay guy I've ever seen. Homophobes are the faggots ;)

  • he too should have won

    

  • Omg.. that voice!!!!

  • message to all trolls please just listen 2 the damn song

  • the faggest version ever sung

  • @txlastrebel lmfao said the fat lard who sits at home on his computer trolling >;3

  • that brought tears to my eyes

  • I am gay and he is even too gay for me lol

  • @lancomelvr I agree. But I'm not gay.

  • Shit! What happened to him!? His first album sucked.... I remember being 12, completely in love with him (My Gaydar Obviously Didn't Work) and then his album that came out ruined it for me.

  • @sedmoport exactly the same! i remember watching him when i was about 11-12 and falling in love with him haha!

  • What a gem of a voice!

  • Nothing to do with him being gay. He just has a bad attitude, that's why he's not liked. Fantastic voice, but he needs to be a little humble.

  • Sad he sings off key.

  • Clay is still be best to come out of American Idol!!!!! Nobody has topped him yet.
