  • Clay has beautiful features. He's sooo cute. .....and a voice to die for!

  • looks like steve nash when he was young

  • he looks like rod stewart

  • I will be his buttercup :)

  • What an absolutely fantabulous performance by the greatest AI runner-up in show history, Clay Aiken! Although, I think he really deserved to actually win his season...just sayin'! Clay is also an adorable & gorgeous man! Like this comment if you think the same! I love Clay!!!!!! Claymate 4~Life from CA!!!!

  • Love old American Idol so much. My mom and I watched the first season and the second season together, but when jennifer hudson lost, she stopped. I watched up till last year, cuz Simon was so much fun to watch bash people!

  • he is so cute!

  • I rember this episode

  • To me, it sounds as fantastic as it did 8yrs ago. And he's still cute.

  • it's curious, 8 years ago this sounded so much better than it does now!

  • What a Cutie and great voice!

  • Clay is Amazing, why do people click on vidoes they know they wont like ...ugh grow up

  • I quite like Ryan Seacrest's look in the beginning of the video. And Clay was awesome, as always!

  • Great job Clay!!!!

  • DISLIKE. -.-

  • @kingnasty886

    baaahahahahah i am saying this as a complete outside party who does not like or dislike clay aiken... but id just shut the fuck up if i were you. you sound like a dumb ass. who cares if they like clay aiken??

  • Comment removed

  • @Vegna 24 You are so so true! He is and will always the best!

  • wow youre all reallky gay for loving clay aiken as much as you do...

  • @kingnasty886 i guess the 24 million that voted for him to win were gay to then huh? Even the little 9 year old girls that were fans huh? Cuz I was one of those little girls that voted for him back in 2003

  • @MJJMatrix  well yeah you're especially gay in this case....

  • @kingnasty886 so why are you watching this? do you have some secret fantasy about Clay Aiken? if you dont like him then stop searching his videos. Obviously you must have some sort of gay love for him right?

  • @MJJMatrix I wish i was a fly on the wall in his room for sure....but nahh i only come back to this cuz u keep comin at me!! andddd because i want his little tiny wiener to cum in my butt as i cum on the floor....synchronizedddddddddd

  • @kingnasty886 I dont care that you keep coming to this video, just the fact that you did in the first place is funny as hell. Its also damn funny that you know a lyric to his song. But all I really want to know is why you did watch this videos about Clay Aiken? It doesnt make much logical sence.

  • @MJJMatrix This is not his song, it was done by the Foundations before he was even born!

  • @marysteele5000 no shit! i know this isnt his song! we were talking about the song, "Invisible" you know, by CLAY, that song that was a hit in 2003. Yeah, so instead of being ignorant and not even attempting to understand the conversation that you just butted into, why dont you just mind your own business next time. Jesus.

  • best american idol contestant ... period ... all 10 seasons, no one has beaten him in talent ... NO ONE!!

  • truly an artist...ikaw na...ba best ka. ^^(Filipiono)

  • I grew up when this song first was popular, Clay you have done the song proud!

  • 75 people don't have buttercups to build them up :(

  • his voice is great

    but he's soooooooooo fake, i can't believe it

  • Wow, really really nicely sung.

    That guy could totally sing, and he was like "fooling/styling" the song and it became awesome

  • Did that judge really wrote and produced his first cd? X))

    Man, Clay doesn't choose any angles.. He looks good at all of it! Combined with those gestures, wow. The camera loves him. XD

  • "it's a british song.. haha

  • omg randy lost so much weight from then to now!

  • Clay, I will be beside the phone waiting for you...LOL and I would say, 'don't sing too broadway for your next performance'

  • I THINK he's probably saying "Did I dance?" cause she was always asking him to.

  • Comment removed

  • hahaha... I could sing better than that he stepped on the buttercup

  • Clay could win every season of AI

  • LOL at your style, Ryan.

  • What does Clay say right after Paula says she wants to give him a hug? I've watched this performances dozens of times and still can't figure out what he says...

  • @BritaRain

    I believe he says "Do you want ot dance?"

    At least, that is what I hear.

  • @outspokencourt he actually said, "Did I dance?"

    

  • @BritaRain

    I believe he says "Do you want to dance?"

    At least, that is what I hear.

  • He is so fucking boring I wanna kill him, he has a good voice though. Fuck off Cowell you fucking pimp.

  • @fightman121 wow do you eat with that mouth!

  • @fightman121 your parents must be so proud of you. I bet you have come a long way in life. Keep up the good work and wishing you the very best! And yes Clay has a great voice but you already know that.

  • He is one of the Greatest. Lets hear mooooore

  • 2:43 Clay's facial expression as he bursts into laughter...priceless.

  • His voice can handle just about any song.

  • effortless!

  • was Clay Aiken trained by a vocal coach before he auditioned for AI??

  • @gopets321 he was in choir in high school and such..but otherwise, i don't believe he had a vocal coach(es)

  • I truely believe that he is the greatest singer of all time!

  • YAAY CLAY! :) xo

  • I too, look at old AI2 and can't believe the talent - especially Clay. I wish he would do an album of covers of songs like this one.  It would fly off the shelves!

  • @dancingbutrfli  Clay just released his new CD, Tried and True, all covers from 60's thru 90's. It is AMAZING!! He taped a PBS special of songs from the CD, which is now being broadcast by many PBS stations through out the country.

  • @dancingbutrfli Check out You Tube video," Clay Aiken Tried and True - Live PROMO" by Internationalmediatv.

  • Wow Ryan looked like a douche back then. lol...I mean he still IS a douche now, but at least he looks like a rockstar.

  • 971nelson..I agree completely..this was his best effort..and this isn't as easy a song as you might think...has to be done right..it is a "make you happy" song

  • doesn't matter if he's gay. this was the best performance he did on American Idol.

  • i wonder if clay turned gay because he didn't win american idol and if he did i don't blame him those judges don't know anything.

  • @Astronomer16 rofl.

    people don't 'turn gay' because of thing like that XD

    gay people are either born that way or become gay because of psychological trauma

    that has something to do with sexuality or masculinity depression (good example - not having a father, or being the least loved brother)

  • luv clay

  • What I love is Ryan looking like a buttercup...lol

  • great voice

    

  • This is a difficult song to sing. His timing was perfect!

  • Whoa at Ryan S.

  • "its a British song"

    LMAOLMAO!!

    oh goddness

    so funny

  • Look at Ryan Seacrest...

  • Wow! Im tired of posting he's great! hehe

  • 7 seasons later and we still haven't found anyone even close to being as good as Clay Aiken. Clay is talented and knows how to entertain the audience. He's definitely the best thing to come out of Idol. Can't wait for the new CD June 1st!!!

  • Simon is such an asshole. Clay is class A performer............

  • Clay really carried that season, my favorite one so far. The chemistry between Paula and Simon is seen. Idol isn't what it used to be. This season was hopeful until Siobhan Magnus got voted off.

  • Hmm. Ryan looks better there.

  • I just wonder why mr. Sedaka never actually did write and produce Clay's first album... I bet it would have been great!

    A bit too late for this comment, but that's how I feel... :)

  • Hahaha yeah Simon you should know what it means ROFL!

  • hes not rough enough for this song, his voice and his looks.

  • anybody know the date on which he performed this?

  • I just can't get over that first note for some reason...his range really is quite impressive. What an awesome singer.

  • the second place spot is sometimes given to the better one so they get a better record deal because the one you get from american idol only lasts a year......so in retrospect he got a better deal

  • Loved him Still love him and will always love him!! Cant wait to see him this summer!!!!!

  • wow i forgot how INCREDIBLE his voice was. and they made him do all that shitty pop music. blegh. he was too good for that

  • nothing against Ruben but Clay deserved first place america you got it wrong!

  • Where did he get that dodgy haircut.

  • him and adam lambert are like exactly the same both knew they were they were going to win but they didnt and they both deserved to win. i call bulshit on the vote counts

  • this made me so happy. im sitting here by myself grinning like a crazy person.

  • he seemed to like the sweets songs (buttercup, sugarpie honeybunch) really? i know he is, so don't point that out, but their gay songs.

  • @xxkmlsmpxx

    Gay songs ?

    Those are both Pop/Soul songs !

    Great for the style.

  • @psychkoala they might be good songs, and i admit they are good for his style. but to me, any man's performance in which he is singing about his sugarpie honeybunch or buttercup in this modern era is just weird. clay may not be weird, but, but... god. i have no idea what i'm trying to say anymore. you won, go ahead, celebrate and call me stupid.

  • @xxkmlsmpxx

    Oh, I meant the songs were great for their genre (or style), not that his version was great.

    His version isn't too bad, I guess, but it doesn't touch the original 60's version by The Foundations. You might check their version out to see if you like it. It's great.

    I understand your feeling about the words. Language and social conventions change over time; but in the context of the original recording of the song, I think you might find the lyrics more or less charming.

    Cheers.

  • @psychkoala I listened to the original version, and you're right, it is very good and didn't seem as odd to me as when Clay sang it. Thanks for taking the time to, hmm, how to I put it... correct me? I guess that correct me would work.

  • Elton John is gay doesn't make him any worse of a singer

  • I agree with Simon. Why would anyone want to be hugged by a hot woman like Paula?

  • lol @ Simon saying "BUTTERCUP"

  • Aw cute

  • What's it mean?

    It's a British song.

    I know. I know it's a British song. But what's it mean?

  • @kilgoretrowt180 I think it's about a girl that likes to tease the man and is always leading him on but still she gives him hope so he keeps loving her and doesn't even try to move on because she's a tease and gives him hope but never what he wants in the end :)

  • Such a cutie -- he makes me smile, too. Love his answer to Simon.  *g*

  • i love watching him perform! just makes me smile! LOVE his voice :D

  • does anyone know how to get this as an mp3? i want clays version, but i cant find it anywhere.

  • i liked this

  • Whenever I listen to him sing, he blows me away with his amazing talent.

  • r u talking in 3rd person

  • Comment removed

  • All I can say is that Clay was sent from heaven. He's a great entertainer. Every time I watch him sing or hear his songs, I just smile. He brightens up my days.

  • i miss him like this on idol.

  • He is so awesome bring it on Clay

  • i dont understand how ruben won..not saying ruben doesnt have a good voice in his way,but come on,clay was just a star from the beginning.

  • @AIFanPA Sadly, it's a popularity contest, not a singing contest.

  • @TheJerlene

    You're definitely right about that.Should be more about the voice..If it was purely about voice,no way would Fantasia or Taylor Hicks have won..Sorry to Fantasia fans or members of the Soul Patrol lol,I just dont think either one of them should have won

  • great job. 5 stars

  • He is wonderful..such a natural performer.thanks for posting this

  • Every once in awhile I look for Clay videos on YouTube. Every time I come away saying to myself that this guy was born to do this. It is so natural.

  • @exiciez

    Someone seems a little pent up.

  • @exiciez what does that have to do with him being an awesome singer?

  • ryan's wearing glasses!! lol

  • Clay has to be one of the most talented singers to come along in the last 50 years and that voice is so pure, layered, nuanced and angelic. He does the research and the work to make it all come together. A remarkable individual who overcame extraordinary odds. Thanks for posting this beautiful voice and this very special talent and person. .

  • aaaah! Is there anything, anything at all that Clay Aiken cannot turn to gold?

    He is pure perfection! and damn good looking too ;)

  • lol Ryan. The glasses, and the shirt that strangely coordinates with the song :P

  • personally i think clay is way cuter with glasses lol i always thought he was cute though lol

  • YEA!!..

    glasses makes him hottie! D;

  • i love when paula ignores simmon and just say whats on her mind

  • That has nothing to do with it, Clay was just better. This is why Clay has been successful and Ruben is where? Who the hell knows because no one buys his damn records and he was dropped from at LEAST one label.

  • What is with Ryan's look :P

  • POWERFUL VOICE!!WOW!!

  • i cant either! hes sooo good!

  • he is amazing..he just owns the stage..he is so comfortable..this is what he was meant to do...he is awesome!

  • I'm from Ireland and watch AI every year and couldn't believe when Clay lost out to Ruben (I may have shed a tear or two) but how nice to see he has gained enormous success, long may it last.... Love you Clay ;))

  • Always makes me feel good, Clay is an absolute STAR!!

    His voice always me goosebumps.

  • He shouldve won instead of Ruben

  • OMG...I think Clay was the 1st and the last American Idol that actually looked comfortable on stage no matter what song he had to sing...He has been the all time BEST EVER on that stage !!!

    His range is unbelievable....!

  • He was born to be on stage ;)

    I love his looks. something just miracle... :x

  • yeah he is sooooo comfortable but not just him .

    kelly clarkson was sooo comfortable too.

  • aw his voice is pretty

  • My favorite performance ever. :) This is literally my standard that I judge all Idol performances against.

  • i can't believe he didn't win american idol.

  • he wasent the only idol to be rob of a idol #1 spot

    think about it micheal johns

    jaydee bixby

    daugtry

  • this is my favorite song of clays

  • This season was just an example of America being wrong.

    He deserved first. Hands down.

  • @shshshea What happened to him?  Never hear about him anymore, and this guy is an amazing singer!

  • @FortuitousTruths Clay released his 5th studio album "Tried & True" in June, 2010; toured this past summer and will be touring again in February/March 2011.

  • He is good y didnt he win

  • i think what i like most about him is not only does he have a great voice, but he looks so damned comfortable on that stage! I love it!

  • lmao! he did a great performance! he maked it current :) 5/5

  • Good performance. Side point, irrelevant I know, but it's gotta be said: Ryan Seacrest is such a douchebag!

  • he loooks soooooooo much cutier now!!!!!

  • Seriously one of the best male popvoices I've ever heard. He makes it looks so easy.

  • Agreed.

  • your mum watches him

  • clay aiken please sing wild fire- old folksong from the 1970's- also I must say my mom is one of your biggest fans besides myself. You have one of the most beautiful voices I have ever heard. also note that our parrot loves you too......

  • :D My dog loves him too

  • lol its a british song haha poor simon.

  • I love watching old school Idol performances of Clay's whenever I miss the good old Clay days haha. I love him!

  • aw so cute

  • I never realized this but he looks like Kavin Bacon
