Achin' 4 Claiken

Thaaaaat's right! I finally got to see Clay Aiken in concert! I called a friend of mine yesterday that I hadn't talked to in a few weeks and she said that her MIL had purchased tickets to see Clay at the Ohio State Fair. Then she mentioned that there was a ticket for her mom to go too, but her mom didn't really want to go. I said, "She doesn't want to see Clay? Shoot, I'll take her ticket!" Well to make a long story short, I got to go. And for free even! It was a good concert.

It was his Jukebox Tour. It was amazing that I knew practically all the songs he sang from the last 50 years. One thing I noticed is that he lets his backup singers sing a LOT. They have their own solos and everything where sometimes he isn't even on stage while they're singing their songs. My friend (who has been to 2 other Clay concerts already) said he does this at all his concerts. They must have something in their contracts with him saying they have to have so much solo time. Two of the 3 have their own albums out. They are all very good, I'm not complaining about that, but I went to see Clay, dawg!

Here is a pic of my friend, after the concert, in her "Clay Aiken will always be my American Idol" t-shirt that a friend of hers made for her:



I, as usual, forgot to take my camera, but fortunately had my handy dandy camera phone. I tried to get a pic of Clay on stage, but it didn't turn out well. No flash with my camera phone! :( Well, that's about all I gots for today.
