@melirose89 yea I heard that on a tv show and I must say simon always hated clay because he didn't have the "look". Hell if Clay went on AI the last 4 years with his song every week he'd win hands down.
he really has a stage presence, i mean hes cute but hes not like the most gorgeous guy in the world. but like as look as he looks into the camera and smiles i feel my heart melting
okay.... i have never seen or heard this dude before(don't kill me am danish)... but he is kinda nice....though i don't know if it is due to the slightly bad picture of this video... but i could totally take him for Kevin Bacon in footlose(he really should try sing this:D)... am i wierd? nice song though
@Missusdane i've never seen American idol before season 5 (and this was season 2) so, i've heard about clay, but never saw him perform, and i really like him now.
I thought the same thing about him looking like kevin bacon in footloose!! :D haha
omg everyone like simon who says this was horrible or watever..wat are U tone deaf? he OWNED this! he did as good if not better then the original! i agree the dance moves were weirding me out.. but the only thang that shoulda matterd was that he nailed the song! an lol its funny how everyone likes to point out that hes gay! Even im a person who knows thats wrong..but im not setting here pointing fingers!
yes, he is gay, just like Jim Verraros and RJ Helton from season 1 but you know what? It`s amazing than this guys accept themselves the way they are and don't lie to their fans. Great for Clay! For finally do it! U're still one of the best contestants of AI in whole the 7 seven seasons. Great for him man! And if people have a problem with those three guys, just don't watch them, and SHUT THEIRS MOUTHS! Nice performance
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
what the crap are all these people here thinking? clay aiken is good but this performance "grease" is ridiculous. it doesnt sound good at all all of you are deaf. just die!
Simon needs to 1)get his eyes checked and 2)get his ears checked. I really don't know whats "so horrible" about that performance. I thought it was drop dead sexy, his fans love(d) it, and he's got a few CDS out now...so who really cares what Simon has got to say. All that just goes to prove that Simon really doesn't know what he's talking about. Ever.
I LOVE SEDUCTIVE MEN! LOL UMMM...WOW I LOVE THE HIP SWISH THING ITS HOTT..CLAY IS SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO SEXY=]]]]]]]]
I LOVE ON :29..WHERE THEY START ZOOMING UP.
=)...teeheeehee naughty i know. I also love 1:16..woah i miss the old Clay. Simon thinks everything is horrible. Randy says where is that voice coming frum and Paula...just...i dunno lol. But Clay is hott! I wish hed chage :53 to 1:01 was my favorites also. Clay is sexy.
I love this video! I heard they are going to play season two on american idol rewind! I dont know when though! I know I will be watching that again! His smile and his eyes just melt my heart!
They are going to show Season 2 on American Idol rewind starting Sept 30! 8:00 pm Cant wait! My favorite season ever! So I will be watching that again!
this was probably one of my favorite perfomances, just because he looked incredible and he was having so much fun. I thought the red jacket along with the hip move was hot
first of all u people make me laugh canjeremy is trying to make u mad and its working why as would he/she keep reposting to this video if they hate it so much.ignore him/her ....any i thought this video was entertaining
If I had the chance to get a 100 foot running start to punch him in the face, I don't think I'd hesitate for a second. There are fewer "celebrities" that I hate more at the moment. I really can't think of one actually. I hope this pissed you off.
Um.... try capitals and periods first off... and then speak in full sentences, not fragments. By him, you could mean me, or Clay, which is it? My guess, is that you mean me. Otherwise you would have used "too" rather than "instead". Is this right? I would also assume it was me, since Clay fans are likely the uneducated losers like yourself, who cannot construct a proper sentence. Stop wasting your time here, and get back in the welfare line.
Well arent you just a little shit? And by saying that Clay fans are uneducated is just a waste of time because we are not. And also by saying that we are below poverty is just rude and obnoxious. Why dont you crawl into a Fucking Hole and Die. Okay that would be great!
lol, actually the first time i saw that i was laughing like crazy and having the time of my life! it wasnt long before it became my fave AI performance EVER!! i love the HIPS!! GO HIPS GO!!
yeah, i remember in one interview he said : ok, first they see the red jacket and they go UH! , and then they see the hips and they go GAH oO! that interview was so fun!! i loved every minute of it!
i think clay always does a great job. he went all out for this performance, he said himself he thinks hes a bad dancer (not true) and he was kind of embarrased about that night, but i dont see why, hes amazing!!!!!!
what the heck? Simon said it was horrible?! It was NOT. Ugh, sometimes he doesn't always agree with me. lol I usually agree with him tho. I thought Clay did a good job!!
sooo adorable ,Clay <3

Clay will take any song and make you feel like you have never heard that song before and you never want to hear any other sound in your head.
How can you have so much power? That explains why we love you so much.
