Clay Aiken’s iPhone Walk and Talk

Thu, 15 May 2008 at 10:42 am

American Idol runner-up Clay Aiken chats on his Apple iPhone as he strolls along Montana Ave in Brentwood, Los Angeles on Wednesday.

Clay looked summery in his linen blazer and leather sandals as he went to have lunch with friends at Louise’s.

His latest album, On My Way Here debuted this week at #4 with 94,071 units sold this week. Clay’s previous album, A Thousand Different Ways, started at No. 2 in 2006, with the much larger sales of 211,000.

Clay has said On My Way Here represents the last five years of his life, but that he didn’t write any of the material. He said he’s “not great” at songwriting and that he’d rather “let the people who are experts in that field do what they do, and I’ll do what I do.”

To ”happy”"
Hi there. I’ll respond to you nicely cos you asked the question nicely. (unlike others) Clay did say that this story was false. Not everybody
knows what he says or does, cos, of course, not everyone visit his website and listens to his interviews. Which is normal. He did say it once, and I agree with him when he says, “”I answered your quesrion, what more do you want?”" Just like he answered once that he is NOT gay. But of course, if you did not read his Rolling Stone interview or if you didn’t watch his Diane Sawyer interview, you never knew he did answer the question. You know what bothers us (his fans) so much? It’s the people who don’t not know anything about him, and who INSIST on saying he’s gay, or he’s dating his cousin (where the heck did “”s”" ever heard that???) or other crap like that. Yes, we are over protective. I’ll give you that much. Enthusiastic as Clay says. LOL
But what the Nates (and the Kates) of this world don’t know is, how much he appreciates our love, loyalty and support. And it’s not just the OLDER ladies that like him. he has fans MALES too! from 5 years old to 90 years old. But, again, some people have their heads too far up their behinds to even try and comprehend anything outside of their little world.
I do agree with you on one thing. Jamie, lay offf his hair! LOLL
I hope you have a nice day “”happy”" ;))

I think Clay’s so called fans have hurt him in many ways. They act like his mother, they state things about him as fact, they act like they actually know him personally. It is really sick. When Claymates are buying more than one CD, it alters the results. My guess is that if they were to only buy one each, he would have only sold about 15,000 because that is basically his fan base. When he jokes about the same people coming to all of his concerts, he knows that is the truth. He will never be anything more than what he is now. His new CD is really below average, stupid lyrics for the most part and the sales reflect that. He looks like a woman now with the blonde hair. I don’t understand why he thinks his dark hair “Tyra hair” made him look old. He looked gorgeous and now looks older. The blonde hair and make up is just too creepy. He looks totally gay now and the high voice on all of these new songs sounds like he got kicked in the balls. Not attractive at all Clay, sorry!

To Jared.

Thank you for posting the pics. I hope that you will keep posting Clay pics in the future. As for me, I will still come to your site to see the pics, but I will never read the comments ever again. Total waste of my time.
Again, thanx for the pics.

Thanks for the photos . Clay looks great . Love the hair and his whole look . I just got the cd and am in love with Falling and Ashes .

In regard to his declining cd sales ,unless you are you living in a cave you know that cd sales are tanking for all the labels . That isn’t a good way to judge success these days unless you believe that just about every singer is losing fans .

Thanks, Marianne. BTW, since I’m a fan, I do read the boards and watch every interview, so I am familiar with what is says. I’ve never heard the words “I’m not gay” or “I’m straight.” Everything else is just spin, as far as I’m concerned. At this point if he does say “I am straight,” I realize that no one will believe him.

I don’t care if he’s gay and if he wants to keep it to himself and friends and family and not go public with it, that’s fine. It’s his life.
Everyone else should stay out of it.

My point was that I’ve heard the “he was somewhere else on Jan.2″ story so many times, but not from Clay, along with proof, so I have to discount it as a story that was made up by fans.

Clay deserves to keep his private life private. He is almost 30 years old and you can be sure he is attractive to and attracted to many. The Claymates should stop trying to build a case for his perceived sexuality. He has specifically adopted “Don’t ask, won’t tell” and they should do the same.

Lisa @ 05/15/2008 at 2:48 pm

Wow, Clay looks great! Jamie has done his hair before but it doesn’t mean she’s doing it this time. She’s a sweet girl. I love his new look and the cd is the best he’s done yet!

Donchalikeit @ 05/15/2008 at 2:57 pm

I like Clay’s new haircut and color. I think the guy named stevee or something like that is responsible for it. Clay has said it is close to his natural hair color. Jamie and Clay do go to a lot of places together, many that are personal, so no pics. She is a doll. I can certainly understand why Clay wouldn’t refer to her as a girlfriend. He has fans that pick any girl apart that he has ever been seen with, so he keeps it private. I think the pictures show a guy very comfortable and happy. Thank you Jared!

The CD has something for everyone, unless you are into hip hop, rap or urban music. If you like that style, please don’t rip on this CD, because you wouldn’t like it….any more than you like Clay.

Clay already scolded the claymates in an open letter on his website to cool it and stop writing letters to radio stations and stuff. He said you are just embarrassing him and yourselves and here you are again inundating this website. Just let Clay be Clay, if people are going to like him and his music they will without the fanatical mates trying to shove him down everyones throat. He is just going get online and spank you all again.

Happy, Happy, Happy……….how do you think anyone knows where he was when? Because it WAS told at the time. Just so you know.

# 78

nancy @ 05/15/2008 at 3:37 pm

It’s rather sad. They Claymates have made him who he is, but yet have contributed to destroying his career. I’t like the mother who hugs her child too tight and smothers him.

# 79

happy @ 05/15/2008 at 3:42 pm

rosa, rosa, rosa, rosa, I do know, and it wasn’t told. It certainly wasn’t told to the public. Once again, you are making a statement without proof. If Clay said it to a friend in his living room, sorry, but it doesn’t count. lol

cHRISTY @ 05/15/2008 at 3:43 pm

IS HE GAY?
IF HE IS OR ISN’T, WHAT THE HELL IS THE BIG DEAL IN REVEALING YOUR SEXUALITY?
IF YOU COME TO BE FAMOUS, YOU KNOW YOUR PRIVATE LIFE WILL NEVER EVER BE PRIVATE. PEOPLE WILL FIND OUT. WHEN YOU GO TO A CLUB, YOU THINK THAT THE BARTENDERS AND CLUB-GOERS ARE KEEPING QUIET? NO! THEY TALK TO PEOPLE, EVEN THEIR LOVED ONES IN PRIVATE. MY EX WAS A BARTENDER AND HE KEPT QUIET ABOUT ALOT OF STUFF, EVEN TO ME, WHICH PISSED THE HECK OUT OF ME… BUT I EVENTUALLY GOT IT OUT OF HIM.

Thanks Jared for posting these pictures of Clay, Quiana and Jaime. It’s to be expected that many people will not find them of interest but, to Clay’s fans, they are.

The entire nation seems to be obsessed with Clay’s latest hair color; recent Clay interviews from coast to coast have focussed primarily on his hair..most so than his CD. Tis a pity how shallow everyone is. Poor Britany doesn’t even get this interest shown in her hair color or hairstyle. Guess people are more interested in her underwear..or lack thereof.

Perhaps people should start looking at the hairstyles of people walking down the street a little more often. They’d see the exact same hairstyle as Clay Aiken’s, believe you me. Seen a picture of Keith Urban, Nicole Kidman’s husband lately? An exact replica of Clay’s style. Amazing. Goes to show, people are picking on Clay’s hair because they have to find something to complain about……and they sure can’t complain about his singing, his CD, his kindness towards others, his love for his family, his God , his dedication to UNICEF (he’s making a fourth trip on behalf of UNICEF this summer), his support of his fanbase etc.

Total CD sales are down 20% this year and the only people to blame are those who freeload and download from free sites rather than put their money where their mouth is and pay for their music. They pay nothing for their favorite artist’s music ; which artist needs fans like that???? Clay’s fans pay for every download, every disc and also buy discs for those who can’t afford to do so. They put their money out to support Clay’s hard work. No wonder he is proud of them all and he says so every chance he gets.

It’s unfortunate that the gay and lesbian community has decided to harrass and denigrate artists who are not gay simply to keep their so-called cause in the forefront. Who would ever want to be associated with a group of individuals who are so mean and vindictive and arrogant and vulgar??? They stop at nothing to drag people down into the dank mire of their minds….what a legacy they are leaving for their kids . No wonder so many kids are dysfunctional.

There are lots of other issues in the world that can use your vile responses….how about writing the junta at Myanmar. See if they care about what you have to say, either.

Clay’s new look is just that…a new look. At least, he tries to stay current and appeal to his fans. He’s almost 30 so it’s about time people stopped worrying about his sexuality, as well. He doesn’t owe anyone private details about his life, family etc. His CD is fantastic and if that suits your taste, buy it; if not, his true fans will and enjoy every minute of it.

Quiana needs to go on a diet and have a makeover. She’s in the public and she’s given up on her looks. Angela needs help too. Truthfully, Clay needs better-looking, better-dresses, sexier backup singers who don’t screech. They seem like a crutch to him. He’s comfortable with them, but he needs to look out for his career. If he’s going to keep them, they need to be in the background, as in BACKGROUND singers.

KIT25 @ 05/15/2008 at 4:09 pm

Isn’t it interesting! Whenever and wherever comments are allowed, the HATERS show up! Why does Clay SO attract these kind of low-lifes? I think it’s because he’s such a phenomenally talented, charismatic, gorgeous MAN! Everything they wish they were and know that they can never be. They’re the scum of the earth to choose to take on such a fine human being.

So now that we know WHAT they are, how should we who love and admire Clay handle the Haters tirades? Should we just ignore them? Or should we attempt to counter their lies and hatred? Or should we request sites to close the site to comments? Or is there another alternative? I think we should make a concerted effort to come to a decision as to the best way to deal with the gnats, then spread the word and act in unison. These disgusting beasts are never going away. We should truly do our best to deal with them in an intelligent, united manner.

KIT25, your cult mentality is showing when you posted the following:
“I think we should make a concerted effort to come to a decision as to the best way to deal with the gnats, then spread the word and act in unison.”

Did you every hear of freedom of speech? Or do you just want to stifle if when it comes to your leader? Pathetic cult.

carmina @ 05/15/2008 at 4:49 pm

I agree with post number 65.. i don’t know how his voice sounds so high pitched now and doesn’t sound like a man now…what ever happned to his voice…it sounds so femmey and sorry but i cannot stand listening to it really…sorry clay…
my fave singers now are singer/songwriters like jason mraz, ben jelen , john mayer and for singers i love the voice of ronan keating, michael crawford and even young zac efron. surprisingly he is an amazing singer with a great and soulful way of singing.. is it no wonder that simon cowell offred zac efron a recording contract and how people does simon sign up in his label….i know it souds cheesy but i can listen to his singing in hairspray all the time and his singing in HSM2… his duets there sounded so passionate and romantic and full of soul… clay’s singing doen’t even come close to that…sorry just my opinion…

ZOE @ 05/15/2008 at 5:16 pm

Carmina, if u think that’s high pitched, you should listen to him sing All Is Well on i- tunes.

Connie Weaver @ 05/15/2008 at 5:29 pm

I would never get on the website of a celebrity and make obnoxious and rude comments. Especially if it was someone I didn’t really care for. What do I care about what people have to say about some I don’t care for. Can’t stand Justin Timberlake, Madonna etc. etc. and have never been on a website of theirs. Usually if someone likes someone they want to know more about that person; if they don’t like someone they don’t care. Clay is not gay but so what if he was? The people that keep harassing him about it must be very intolerable people. Are you a racist too? Clay is a singer/entertainer/humanitarian; that is why I continue to support and listen to him. Who are we to comment on his private life. Now some are even picking on his back-up singers for their weight and because they aren’t ‘hot enough looking” to be there. Were you the bullies in school that picked on kids because they weren’t “beautiful and smart” like you? Please don’t go on websites for the sole purpose of making hateful remarks about Clay or anyone else for that matter.

If only his hair was styled like the RCA shot in his blue shirt…..then it’d be perfect!

I LOVE THE CLAYMAN!!!! HIS ALBUM ROCKS. LISTEN TO “FALLING”……..IT IS SOOOOOOO MUCH BETTER THAN ANYTHING ON THE RADIO NOW. “ASHES”(listen to it at http://www.myspace.com/clayaiken) IS GOOD TOO. THE BRUNETTE IN THE PICTURES IS ALWAYS WITH CLAY AND THEY ARE ONLY RELATED THROUGH MARRIAGE.
HATERS ARE EVERYWHERE………MOST OF THE TIME THEY ARE FAT AND UGLY THEMSELVES.
