Don't be haten I saw Aiken

Why is it all the gay boys love a straight woman like Liza and all the straight women love a gay boy like Clay? Interesting. We love what we can't have I guess. Or we want to be what we love? Who knows. There is some lesson burried in there I am sure.

In any event, Clay was live at the CT Convention Center - Lincoln Financial Presents - with the Hartford Symphony Orchestra. The Orchestra was on for about 20 minutes and then did a littel sing-a-long and there was one of my cousins (my mom's 1st cousin's kid) a bunch of other people and a pathetic Julia D'mato who made herself known by prancing around and announcing to anyone who would listen that she was on AI with Clay. Well, Julia what have you done for us lately? Nothing.

The lights dim and out comes a gay boy with a great purple shirt, and he sits at the piano. Interesting. Later I would find that it is Jessie and he has been with clay and company since 2004. J and I decided that Jessie and Clay were an item and that we approved of the relationship.

Anyway, I love clay and am a nonsosecret Claymate. I love his voice. He is first so talented, so stereotypically gay, and a chatty cathy. He kept asking to dim the lights so that basically he could look out at all his adoring fans. this of course annoyed me because 1. i didn't pay for his chatterboxing I paid for his singing; and 2. it bordered on cockiness and arrogance. He can almost pull it off but if he was like this with Kelly Ripa I would have told him off big time!

His version of Most wonderful time of the year is great as is his version of Don't save it all for xmas (or something like that). His xmas album is great and he is so much stronger now than he was when it first came out. He was great and at one point when he started playing with his hair (which is now long) I was reminded of Shawn Cassidy and Leif Garrett. Clay is channeling rock stars of the 70's in terms of his hairdo. He is a bit too skinny and i have decided he is the 2000 version of Barry Manilow. And it all works for him.
