Clay Aiken on David Foster's Star search Gala

[beccathewonderful]

amazing and HOT as always... words can't describe the love i have for him... i want him to tour again SO bad...

[caraleigh3]

well, u may have just gotten your wish...

[cenarej619]

Flawless. That's how Clay sings.

[starrlicous]

my dad is a singer and kinda famous and he sings this song and i truthfully think he can sing it better than clay and im not just saying it cause he my dad it is true

[tromba25]

great but he looks constipated for the high note...and it sounds a bit shaky too

[tromba25]

msrouse, you give such a bad name to Clay fans. Do you not notice that i first said it was a great performance? I have been a Clay fan for years, but seriously, he does look so odd for the high note. And he was shaky in the beginning. Anyway, I'm shocked that another Clay fan would swear at me. Doesn't show any class at all. period.

[LSD1313]

you try hitting that high e and make it sound right, and hold it, and look good doing it. oh, and don't "wobble" it!

[shezgirl]

Nobody can sing live like Clay. Fantastic, I got chills!!

[PrettyBabyLady]

Clay's voice is Heaven sent! Wow is all I can say everytime I hear him sing...along with the goosebumps that speak for themselves =) Clay thank you sooo much for sharing your talent with us! May God bless him and his always! Jeannie in SC

[Speller11]

My all-time favorite song sung by my all-time favorite performer.Clay you're the best.

[ImsweetonClay]

Beautiful rendition!! Amazing performer!! He owns every note. What control!! Pretty impressive!!

[Nanakuli90]

awesome. he should have won american idol 2

[lilas1024]

love the way he does this song

[funforfinn]

So wonderful! He is amazing! And the band (especially the pianist) was good too - nice version :)

[MUSICROX83]

Awesome!!!!!!!!!!!

[noritagar]

He Sings that song so spiritually, I love it! There's no doubt it, he is the best, the greatest! And he has the backing and support of David Foster.

[kelcikelcikelci]

This is my all-time favorite song.

This was a beautiful cover. Clay is remarkable.

[ClaysSTO]

The Best -- absolutely the best! This man's voice is amazing -- and he can sing anything as evidenced by concerts. thank you for posting this video.

[Bucky1215]

No doubt about it. He is and always has been and will always be THE BEST!!

[clayfan123]

Good Lord! He constantly amazes me. What a fantastic voice, what a fantastic man!!!

[CTLover1]

Sometimes I simply can't believe that voice.  What a gift!

[claylon]

I am on a Clay high at the moment after his wonderful tour(Not that I could go, I live in South Africa)even still I cant get over how amazing he is. OMG is all I can say.

[totalgrobanite]

What an incredible performance! Did anyone else notice that after the line "I've hungered for your touch" that someone in the audience whispered "Oh God"? Totally agree with that person. Thanks for posting this!

[musiclover7889]

Yeah I did!!

haha i had to listen really closely

[ClaysSTO]

Clay's way of singing a song like this is so beautiful -- nothing fancy, no rills and runs, just his voice, the melody, and the words. Amazingly beautiful. Takes my breath away.

[lurkerchic]

GonzoFan9206, yea that!! I am a big fan of his "facial expressions" and ohhh geez that thing that happened at 4:17... :-0

[GonzoFan9206]

Aw man... to be that mic...

[ClayNation324]

This song probably would've been on ATDW if it had fit the mold of the album. The album was showcasing the greatest love songs of the 70s, 80s, and 90s. Not the 50s. Otherwise, I'm sure this would've made the album. On the album or not, Clay sings this song better than almost any other song he has ever sung. After all, it is his favorite.

[claylon]

The ease and control he has in that laid back way of his, is amazing, Vocal gymnastics, nobody does it better. Really beautiful.

[sakuraBEAUT]

perfection!

this performance is the best.

[claysbabychick20]

when was this??

[oetesa]

VERY NICE , HE IS THE BEST AROUND

[glay1fan]

Clay's face expression is funny in this clip. He can sing anything though :) He has amazing voice and people who diss him are just jealous or plain evil.

[mkjtf]

His voice is Perfection! David Foster must agree!

[revatoby]

Just beautiful. If he had to do covers, this should have been on ATDW. He can sing like nobody else, and he's adorable too.

[Wendiesel]

im actually surprised, in a good way too

[vzlanita86]

mi favourite song by mi favourite singer... This performance was perfect. JUST PERFECT. Like only Clay can do it.

[MLC92]

...awebao...fue el 10

[MLC92]

what happened in 2:28??O.O hmm that looks interesting...WoW

[Mscfrk1M]

Yes, his voice is also deep and thrilling and powerful on his demo album, but the control he has now and the ease with which he switches from deep to tenor to high is just -- amazing. (I loved it live in JBT too, tho!)

[garden333]

best version I have ever heard. He needs to record this one. It is very clear that David is very impressed with Clay's vocal abilities. He had him sing the glory note 3 times. just amazing.

[cstinia]

How does he do it? He tops his previous versions from before ( AI, Jukebox Tour) . It's amazing. He's the only one that does the song any justice. He was so passionate while singing this...it was an amazing performance.

[abaston]

he is my favorite american idol second classic.

[raquelsg]

This is the best I've ever heard that song sung. Those low notes are to die for! The whole performance was chill-inducing.

[Huuugs]

No one, anywhere, anytime sings like this! Gorgeous, amazing, beautiful, wonderful all apply! Wow!

[kdmomont]

He truly does UM justice. Beautiful and great video,too.

[JustJake]

Wow! That was incredible!

[jbdramey]

This is amazing

[CecilyCT]

This is my favorite rendition by Clay of this song. He is so connected to this song - and you can see it in his eyes and hear it in his nuanced performance. Great.

[honeypi]

Incredible

[comfiecozy]

The best performance of this song I have ever had the pleasure of seeing and hearing.

[roseviolet]

I love this performance. Not many people can sing this song like this.

[fatgirlgrobie]

DF and CA on the same stage! I am in heaven.

[sharmardo]

This is an absolutely amazing performance. One of his all time best. David Foster got it right when he introduced him as the "FANTASTIC" Clay Aiken.

[reds53]

This is the way to sing UM.

[stajay]

Man I love that performance. Just wow.

[rkrox3]

AMAZING AMAZING AMAZING

[GoldsboroAikenFan]

Absolutely BEAUTIFUL!!!! I can't wait for the CD on Tuesday!!!

[revatoby]

The most amazing voice. He looks gorgeous. Everybody check out the RCA website for his upcoming TV appearances starting next week, Leno, etc.

[shejean]

Did anyone see the video of the piano auction from that night??? Just by Clay saying he will sing 3 songs and David Foster (this was from a Foster Charity Gala-this was not from the night before when Clay was a judge during a 'star search-type' concert for the charity)will play the piano-the bidding went up to $500,000 for one autographed (150 signatures) grand piano!! Incredible to watch!!!!

[revatoby]
