Honestly.....when I'm watching TV or a film or a video alone, I usually just smile inside....but when I watched the clack of Clay singing to the flat Clay tonight, I really was laughing out loud!!!! What a jokester! What a fabulous sense of humor! And did I ever tell you all how much I just flove a man with a great sense of humor?????????

I can just feel the excitement on ALL the boards for the upcoming road trips to Cary....Clay Nation is abuzz with anticipation for that show! I'll be with you in spirit....and I DO expect lots of recaps and other good stuff from all of you who are there. Don't let me down. Muah!

Been watching the cellcerts from California the last three nights. Sounds like Clay has been wonderful but not really sell out crowds. I just think he does so much better selling out on the east coast! Loved the bus line with the Japanese women waiting for him - I think in San Diego. They were so cute and excited! What a long way to come -he did look like he acknowledged them a little in the line but Jerome makes him move so fast!

Loved the Flat Clay bit.. he is so witty and quick!

Come back East Clay we are "Right Here Waiting For You"!

Cary should be amazing! What a HOT night in more than one way it should be!

Just read the Clay has added New Brunswick, NJ on 12/6/ to holiday tour. Also confirmed on Clay's Daily Double.

I can't believe that in one week, we will be returning from Asheville after the NC twofer!!

Bring on the Christmas tour!!

See all NC bound soon!!

Me, again, bouncing all over the place, I'm so excited.

I finally convinced ZEN that she must join us for the twofer. OK, maybe not the 2fer, but at least Cary. It took me over 2 hours to give her excuses why she needed to get away.

Can someone, Cheyanne , "Mrs restaurant planner" LOL, what is the final count for dinner in Cary.?

Love my new Monitor! I see Clay up close :cyclops: :lol

This is not a good review...I'm only posting it because the a****** writer's mom is a member of the Clack House. He can't write a review without making fun of his mom and her Clay friends. What a jerk! He is being blasted at the Clack House. He could learn alot from Clay about respect for his mother.

Here is a way better review

http://billboard.blogs.com/mobile_beat/2007/08/clay-aiken-the-.html

joanie, I read that review earlier today - he got a little extra dig in by the way he spelled "Claquehouse" - BTW, he's not a very good reviewer, either! He obviously doesn't know that Barry thinks Clay is one of the best singers out there today. I agree with your "assessment" he is an a**hole!!!

OMG, suZen, is coming to NC - whoohoo!!! Irene, that means there will be nine for dinner Friday night!

Well gang... I ate popcorn for dinner and stayed in my pj's until noon. But the fun is over now.

The fam ate fried green tomatoes and fried balogna sandwiches in Alabama yesterday and today they had coffee in Checotah OK, home to Carrie Underwearwood. Will head on in to AZ tomorrow and Dale will be on a plane home Wednesday. Then I will be on a plane Thursday. Whoohoo!!!!

That reviewer doesn't bother me too much. Except that he includes his mother in the article. Just looks bad for him. It the same ole same ole from him...why doesn't he ask for a different assignment...cuz he loved the hits and the controversy...that's why!
Patti which comment from Jim was really you? heehee...

The second review mentioned above was really good.. I liked the end see below:

"In what was probably the most relaxing concert I’ve ever attended with the most respectful crowd I’ve ever been a part of (I am positive not a single expletive was spoken all night), Clay Aiken put on a great show vocally and in terms of entertainment for the audience in attendance. Not only is Aiken a powerful vocalist who has developed his own identity and following that has gone well past him being a “guy from American Idol,” but he puts on a hilarious show that is filled with more laughs that you’d ever expect from a ballad-filled evening. While I wish that Aiken performed some more songs from his first CD, few Aiken fans would ever leave his show unsatisfied, as the singer manages to make everyone feel like they’re just hanging out with Clay and his band for the night. With strong vocals throughout the night and random banter that surprisingly did not annoy me between songs (almost an impossible task), Aiken became more than just a singer to me tonight, but lived up to his reputation as a strong entertainer as well. "

I looked at that ocregister review and anyone can remove comments. It just takes two diferent users clicking on a comment to remove it. When I first looked there were several from the Bill board Blog reviewer, Dave Chung which were very anti Clay and his fans. Then suddenly they were gone. Who knows if it was really him?

Did you see the video of pre TWYMMF? Where he says to the husbands about the "slow songs", "don't worry your wife will be very happy when you get home.!" Then he says he got his "dirty mind from his mama!" So funny!

Pat I did not make any comments to that review only to the nice one but I never use my real name.

Found this at the CH. Ya'll be careful at that place:

More on the B52's Mess


Quote:


I've heard from one of the folks involved in the push-and-shove melee at the Biltmore Estate on Saturday night, during that otherwise amazing show by the B-52's.

One of them spotted me in the crowd - I do not know this woman - but she wanted me to know what had happened.

Here's what she told me. A group of friends were there - two couples. One of the women (not the one who called me) was pretty excited and kept dancing in the aisle even after security told her to stop. Eventually, a Biltmore security officer hauled her away, and the husbands went to see where she had been taken.

After talking with security, and Lord knows what was said, the men were returning to their seats when they were tackled by deputized guards then hauled away and handcuffed and charged with resisting arrest and assult on an officer.

I saw a good bit of this myself, and can only repeat my opinion that Biltmore security was out of control, and that the whole thing could have been avoided by just telling people before the show to stay out of the aisles, and providing an area where they could dance.



Will I go back to Biltmore to see another concert this summer? Probably not, even though I can't imagine Clay Aiken or Chris Issak fans getting that excited.


Yeah - right!

Holy crap Batman...Irene can you decorate some brass knuckles to give out before the concert. They could have the letters C-L-A-Y spelled out on the knuckle part. There's gonna be a rumble on Saturday night.
I am betting on the grannies... Heehee....I am gonna miss that one so dance in the aisles for me too!!!!
