It's been 5 months since I've seen Clay Aiken. That's right, five months since the end of the Joyful Noise Tour and Clay Nation hasn't seen hide nor hair of Clay since then. He's written a few blogs, he's posted pictures of his vacation, and a few murky pictures of his fitting for the photo shoot, but a proper sighting of Clay? Not for five months. Five l-o-n-g months.
Until tonight.
Let me just say that when Clay Aiken makes an entrance, Clay Aiken MAKES AN ENTRANCE.
There has been buzz for the past several days that Clay would appear on American Idol. Nothing was confirmed and the message boards were humming and buzzing and speculating. Finally around dinnertime, most of the Official fan club members got an e-mail from the fan club that said this:
Be sure to tune in to the season finale of American Idol TONIGHT ... You don't want to miss this one!!
Heh. So we did. There was some lame joke running throughout the show highlighting some really bad auditions and giving an award for the worst. So the third skit featured 'wannabe's', people who tried to be like other performers, i.e. Cher, Michael jackson, Clay. Now these people were really bad. The person who 'won' that skit was Michael Sandecki, who vaguely looked like a poor man's version of Audition Clay. Sang REALLY bad. But as he was singing, out strides Clay Aiken.
Not the Clay Aiken we all know and love, oh, no! THIS Clay Aiken was totally different than most people remember him. Gone were the spikes, the blond highlights, in its place was some British-mod-rocker look that found us with our jaws on the ground.
Who in the world was this guy?
That's Clay Aiken?
That? CLAY AIKEN???
Oh, yes, indeedy, THAT was Clay Aiken. All Ray Davies-looking and everything, singing his ass off, as usual.
Who's going to be talking about the winner tomorrow? They'll be talking about Clay Aiken and how he brought the house down, just by walking on stage, looking totally hot, and singing his ass off.Already, the news outlets are buzzing. Yahoo News Search had this up within minutes of Clay's appearance. So did MSNBC.com. And FilmMagic.com.
Taylor Who?

Oh Shady, you write so very well. You say it with words, I said it with pictures (speechless, I guess). We all are saying, "That's Clay Aiken!" It took me awhile, but I am utterly infatuated with the New Clay.
