Love songs that let Clay roll out his rich deep voice as well as show his pure high tenor, so pretty -- not many can sing this!! Neil Sedaka is such a good songwriter!
I wasn't there that night, how amazing it must have been to hear this live...
I was at this special concert for Neil (and why he heck hasn't HE been nominted and voted into the R n R Hall Of Fame, yet??????). Only 3 performers received Standing Ovations from the concert-goers. Connie Francis, CLAY and, of course Neil. None of the other legends that performed did!!! Clay was just amazing. His performance made up for the horrid weather that night! (Will never, ever forget the harrowing pedi-cab ride over to Lincoln Center! LOL)
Well i got one who could match.. But sadly he have passed away from us.. Jan Werner Danielsen from Norway. Search for him in youtube and watch and listen to him melt your soul away. I recomend the song " Air" on the Nobel Consert. He was and for me is the King!!.
Hi BigAppleforClay - I think I emailed your video too many times to the clay aiken fans - 3 of them & you blocked me from seeing it now - I'm so upset I can cry. I love Clay so much.
I am so in love with Clay Aiken... he is brilliant! So gorgeous and just classy as can be!! He gives me chills like never... omg Clay I love you!

LOL, that is my friend Patty @ 1:09 screaming "I love you ,Clay." She is lucky she did not get escorted out

I would not want to brag about her being a friend. I think she was a complete idiot for yelling out like that!
It is fans like that that give all fans of Clay Aiken a bad reputation!

Sorry ! I absolutely can´t understand the hype about this version....it´s only a nice acting puppet....ruining the song....
Neil Sedaka sings it with depth and the authority of the composer....

I love Clay but, the glory note was a tad bit pitchy, but he redeems himself. Don't kill me, I'm just stating a fact.
However, Neil Sedaka really did lose his song to him.
