American Idol . . . AmerAiken Idol . . . THE American Idol to many . . .
and certainly to Auntie Carol!!!
We had the privilege of having Auntie Carol escort Sarah, Rachel, Gramma Bev and myself to see Clay Aiken in concert.
He was last year's runner-up in the vastly popular American Idol. Many thought that Clay should have won. He may not have won the official title, but he has proven to be far more successful and popular than the actual winner.
His followers range from the freckled school girl in pig tails to the platinum-haired widow in fox tails. He is the only contemporary "rock/pop star" to perform Christian music in concert.
I am sure that Auntie Carol will gladly provide some additonal "trivia" about Clay to embellish this blog, but let it suffice to say that Clay portrays wholesome AmerAiken Ideals that make him deserving of the title American Idol. It's refreshing.
Anyway, here are a few glimpes of our night . . .
A shot from the concert . . .
Clay was kind enough to pose for this photo . . .
Me? Additional Clay Aiken trivia? How about this? He was also the only artist to appear on the cover of Rolling Stone Magazine with his WWJD bracelet on. - During American Idol he said he would like to use his "celebrity status" to make a difference. . . and he started the Bubel/Aiken Foundation which helps children with disabilities. Really cool stuff coming from a 25 year old. - But here's the really important thing - Thanks to Erin the photomaster, I finally got a picture of me with Clay!!!!
