Sky is blue, water is wet, Clay Aiken is gay

:-[

My mistake. Still, I wonder how he would have fared after confirming his sexuality. If I remember, and I try not to, he had a lot of the old lady, mommy votes.

 

Most people do seem to remember him as the winner. That's because Ruben Studdard hasn't done a damn thing since then, while Aiken has.

 

Right now, he's probably the fourth most successful person from AI.

I'd put him behind Clarkson, Daughtry and Underwood (in no particular order).

 

I was just thinking that Clay has drifted from a normal looking guy into a Michael Jackson-style transformation that's still under way.

 

Jennifer Hutson has him beat too.

Remember the "controversy" concerning allegations that the finals vote in AI2 was tampered with? Makes you wonder if 19, desiring no image issues at all as it became the money machine it is, decided to do a last-minute switch.

 

That made me chuckle. I can see it: "Put this picture of (name that male celebrity) over your face, doll, and please don't be offended."

 

I'll be very curious how Jennifer Hudson's album does.

It's arguable if she's more successful than him, but she hasn't put out an album yet.

Based on her first two movies, she's going to have a hell of an acting career.

 

Kelly Pickler has had some country hits. She may be ahead of Aiken as well.

 

that post is worthless without pics.

 

She's doing well, but Aiken did sell five million copies of his first couple albums.

 

The hell with ESPN. Wait for Jay Glazer to be the first to report it...

 

Here's a NSFW (most places) link for you, but only because I love your sidesaddle so much.
