Clay Aiken Fraud Squad Revisited

A Letter to Faiken

2012-02-02T19:26:00.000-05:00

Dear Mr. Faiken:

I couldn't help but react to your latest whine on twitter. You said, "Some folks will never be satisfied with who you are and will always want you to be/do what they think you should do or be. That's sad." I would agree with the statement had it not come out of your mouth and why? Let me elaborate.

It seems that you are criticizing your fans because they dared express their disappointment on your once again, deceiving ways. You buttered them up with a blog talking about "our little secret" and promising new songs on the recycled CD only to find out it's all the same crap again. You state that they will never be satisfied with who you are and I wonder why is that? Could it be that you painted yourself as someone you never was? They bought your lies and fell hook, line and sinker for your fake persona. The whole time you fed them lies, blame the media for making up stories and sicked your fanatic pit bulls on anyone that disagreed. They believed you, they defended you and blindly followed your lead. Now you blame them for their disappointment? So you came out and they were all supposed to forget all they did to other people in defending your fake persona? They are not supposed to demand the best of you? Many emptied their coffers because they believed in you and never questioned you. You don't feel you owe anything to them?

A real artist is willing to listen to their fans. No, I don't believe they should do everything they want them to do, but they do have the right to demand the best of them especially when their money is supporting your career. A real artist would be concerned about what their fans REALLY think of him/her. That's how an artist grows and any artist who think they are bigger than what they are, will usually fall pretty hard.

I always blamed the Claymates for all the evil things they did to everyone who crossed their path. Even though they were adults and they knew what they were doing, at the same time, they wouldn't have felt so confident had they not been encouraged (indirectly or not) by you. Remember how proudly you would proclaim that they would "kick ass" for you? They took it to heart and you stood silently doing shit to stop their madness. You knew you had them wrapped around your finger and some still are.

You state that it's sad they will not be satisfied with who you are. No, you know what's sad? The fact you continue to take advantage of these women. The fact you milk them, lie to them and them admonish them for daring make demands of the "artist" they made. What's REALLY sad is that you lied for so long about who you were and now lash out at them for being who they have always been. At least they were consistent.

Mr. Clay Aiken, the fan base you created is YOUR responsibility. They became who YOU wanted them to be. The did what YOU wanted them to do. HOW DARE YOU, turn the script around and whine about them wanting you to be who they believe you could be. As much as I despise the Mats, I can't stand the fact you now blame them for what YOU allowed from them for all these years. You made your bed honey, go lay on it now. Sweet dreams...

I found the rough draft Faiken wrote before he published his latest blog. Sorry it took this long, but I had a few issues with my laptop , but here it is...

Hey y'all

We're just a few weeks away from drama and intrigue and shouting and crying and conniving and backstabbing ... and that's just a day in my life!
Wait until Celebrity Apprentice starts on the 19th!!

In an effort to capitalize on the raised profile that might come from me acting like MYSELF, a charm school reject on national TV, the label (to which I'm indebted to my eyeballs) has opted to release some old crappy music that you will buy anyway in the form of a recycled album titled (to capitalize on my D-lister appearance at the apprentice) "Steadfast", as in "I'm steadfastly falling so I need ANYTHING to help me pay my bills."
For a large chunk of the American population, everything on this forthcoming album will be re-branded crap. But for most of you, who gives a shit about how crapy it is, some of it is already on your iPod, MULTIPLE times.

When Tried & Pooped was released, it was the plan (and the hope) that marketing the album through the PBS special would be sufficient to share that music with a wide audience who would otherwise give a rats ass about me. Therefore, all of our efforts were focused on that avenue and miserably failed (I guess they REALLY gave a rats ass about me). Well, the best laid plans of mice and men....

In a different reality, most of those songs (many of which I believe are the worst I have ever recorded) would not be heard by an audience outside of PBS' regular viewer or anyone else for that matter, except for you my devoted minions of course.
But, when God closes a door.... he opens up a Trump Tower. And with the larger audience that watches that show, the opportunity to reintroduce some of these sappy songs is something that no one felt was worth doing, but I begged and begged so they relented to my charm.

Now, it isn't all old... in addition to "Bring Back My Love", the "phew" album will drop (literally) a few tracks from the last incarnation and replace them with several phew ones that you may have heard me perform live (who am I kidding? YOU HAVE heard them MILLIONS of times), but have not had studio recordings of. And everything is newly massacred!
But, in fairness to my minions, they will all be available to download on iTunes as individual tracks when the album is released because you all know how much I need you to hit your wallets and multiple buy as you have always done, to give everyone a false sense of what you think is success.
Now, of course, I'd be lying if i didn't say that I would love it if everyone went out and bought a new copy (or four!), but it's certainly not the intention of ANYONE to attempt to "pull one over" on you (of course not, wink, wink) and force you to buy a new album for just a few songs....(although... did i mention? It certainly would help!!) ... This is simply an opportunity to present an "all-new" album to an all-new audience who, in reality, never knew the last one existed (and most likely continue to be be oblivious to it).

The Celebrity Apprentice offered me a chance to show folks what a douche bag I am. That I have a brain (albeit Realistically small), a sense of humor (albeit morbidly sarcastic and UN-funny) and an ability to walk all over my MATS stand up for myself when convenient and be steadfastly manipulative.
These songs are true musical gems that have stood the test of time in spite of me and these recordings of them are works that I am immeasurably sick of and will pretend to stand steadfastly by because the label needs to get paid.
And, more than anything, I am thankful that you have done the same for me. Over these past nine years, no one has been more steadfast than you! You have fallen hook, line and sinker for my lies each and every time I have reach out to you because I STILL HAVE that power over the left over fans.
I know that it isn't entirely new (to you!), but it is to the majority of the world. But we will keep that fact our little secret!!!! Let's lie to the world (something I have mastered in the past nine years as well) and I hope you will go out and get one for yourself (and three more for your friends!! ha ha) Now's our chance to use what we've got working for us! (which it isn't much, IF ANYTHING AT ALL)

See you soon!
Love

WISHING ALL FSERS THE BEST HOLIDAYS EVER!!!!

Biography By (Snorabeth)

2011-10-21T16:53:00.003-04:00

In the fast paced world of here and gone celebrities who are famous for being famous, (we now celebrate someone who is famous for being a national joke.) Yet, nearly ten years after he penetrated (John Paulus) Clay Aiken is associated with more than just singing, acting and philanthropy. (He’s now associated with abject failure...and losing everything due to ego and hubris.) It’s hard to know which path to take when describing this success. (He chose the downward path.) His versatile reach (quick, grab a camera! He’s reaching for another girl’s boobs with both hands again!) spans recording (flop albums) and television studios (didn’t we hear something about him banging on the door at Idol, baby in arms, and not being allowed in that television studio?) , the concert stage (to ever dwindling sales), (as well as killing goats and cats, getting arrested on airplanes, overseeing a fan club with all the finesse of Jim Jones running a mind-controlled cult.)

The best place to start is in 2003 when the 24 year-old unassuming young man with an earnest face and unruly hair stepped in front of the camera on the second season of American Idol, where his talents were exposed to millions of viewers over sixteen weeks. (This was quite fitting, as his penis had already been exposed to millions of viewers over the internet for several years.) A whirlwind of television appearances on every major network culminated in the release of Measure of a Man (which, based on those internet pictures, was just a couple inches) which sold more copies in its first week than the debut albums of Madonna and Beyonce, combined. (The only difference was that Madonna and Beyonce sold their albums legitimately, while Faiken only sold that many because his fans dipped into their childrens’ college funds to buy ten, twenty or fifty copies each.) Even more impressing is that he also managed to earn a degree in special education from the University of North Carolina-Charlotte later that year. (But...but...he’d already been teaching “for years and years” without a degree? And why did his classmates boo when his name was announced at the graduation ceremony. Guess they were just jealous of his success...yeah, that must have been it.)

As Clay hit the road with Kelly Clarkson in early 2004 for a sold out, 48-city Independent Tour, something astonishing dawned on the thousands of concert goers around the country. (They realized that Clay’s fans were the most obnoxious people in the world – especially when stood and turned their backs on Kelly as she sang.) He sounded even better live than he did on his records! (Adding an exclamation point to this sentence doesn’t make the sentence true.) He had an easy rapport with his (well, Kelly’s) audiences, often motivating people to stand in appreciation one minute and double over with laughter the next. (Well, okay, they were standing because they were on the way to the bathroom or snackbar and were doubled over in laughter at his singing, not speaking.) While touring and recording his second album, Clay managed to complete his memoir, Learning to Sing: Hearing the Music in Your Life. (Ghostwritten by a woman who said he smelled like fresh laundry. Well, she was half right. He smelled.) The book and the album, Merry Christmas with Love, were released in the same week to critical (NOW we’re doubled over with laughter!) and commercial success. Learning to Sing landed at #2 on the New York Times best seller list (easy to do when each fan buys fifteen copies a piece) while the album smashed the record for first week sales of holiday releases (proof that multiple buying works.)

Those whose strongest memory is the soaring final note of "Bridge over Troubled Water" on American Idol would be surprised at the number of successful albums and tours that followed. (There was the one where he put on an amateur grade-z Christmas play...and the one where he hit the Tarzan note...and the one he ended early so he could meet an internet pick-up at a hotel...well, that’s enough about his tours.) With the release of A Thousand Different Ways in 2006 and fan favorite On My Way Here in 2008, Clay became only the eighth artist in Billboard history to have their first four albums debut in the top 5. His most recent album, 2010’s Tried and True made him the first Idol contestant to have five albums reach the top 10 for first week sales. (Let’s not discuss second week sales.)

A versatile entertainer, Clay parlayed his name recognition into a series of acting and (whoring) opportunities. (And let’s talk about scandals. There was the American Music Award scandal, where he and “Mama Faye” taught fans how to cheat so he could win a prize. There was the John Paulus scandal. How about the time when “someone” hacked into the OFC and left racist remarks. The time he announced a contest in the middle of the night and then never followed up on it. There was the time he tried to trick fans into thinking he’d gotten his “girlfriend” Jaymes pregnant, and when that didn’t work out, the People cover announcing he was gay while hiding behind his Dixie-Up baby.)

Many who were introduced to Clay in 2003 will recall his determination to make a difference in the lives of others, (especially athletic young men with swarthy complexions who thought he had the monetary means to make them famous.) Clay became a UNICEF Ambassador in 2004 and has traveled the world (dressed as Jesus and attending to the poor, while staying at four-star hotels) ensuring that children in countries ravaged by natural disaster, war or political unrest still have a chance at an education (but, most importantly, keeping his name in the media.) His trips have taken him to Indonesia, Mexico, Uganda, and Afghanistan and even into the anarchy of Somalia. (He’s also made 100 trips to New York, 20 trips to London, and OD’d in a European McDonald’s.) Clay lends his support to a number of different causes, most recently for GLSEN (the Gay, Lesbian, and Straight Education Network) where he spoke on behalf of anti bullying legislation in front of a Congressional Committee in 2010. (Ironic, because most gays want to beat HIM up for denying his sexuality for so many years and now trying to get back in their good graces to sell more albums.)

What’s next for the once bright eyed guy from Raleigh, North Carolina? (Once bright-eyed. Now his eyes are so dull and dilated that many are wondering if a visit to Betty Ford is in the future. And let’s not even start on all the plastic surgery. Ears pinned back. New teeth. New Jay Leno jaw. Cloobies decreased. Botox!) Platinum and gold records align his walls alongside the American Music and Billboard Music Awards on his shelves. He’s made a lasting difference with his music, (he has brought joy to the sunset years of his fifty-five remaining fans, affectionately known as THE MATS) his work with children (the one good thing about his singing career...it keeps him out of the classroom – thank God in Heaven!) and his role as father to three year old Parker (conceived with the aid of a Playgirl magazine and a Dixie Cup, Parker follows in a long line of Grissom men who have “sperm donor” fathers. Someday he would like to meet Clay. It has been a long time.) With a world of (ever-dwindling) possibilities and an array of talents, who knows what Clay Aiken will decide to accomplish next? (Who knows? A better question would be: “Who cares?”)

Thanks Calliyuck. Brilliant, as always!!

So you thought I was gone???

2011-10-15T23:52:00.000-04:00

Greetings Everyone!!!!!!

I have to apologize to all of you for my looooong absence (not that you noticed...). I had a rough 2010 and this year has been one of recuperation. I want to thank Percocet (which I gave up trying to reach), for keeping the blog going as well as D and Calliyuck who continues to collaborate with the funniest shit (pardon my french) EVER!

I have to admit that I haven't kept up with Clay, who? until I was told about him being on The Apprentice???????? WHOA! Now THAT is worth following.

I'm excited that people will see his true colors (I don't mean the rainbow ones) as he's supposed to be saint-like according to the Mats. Well, I guess we will see, but I'm sure Arsenio and Ms. Lampanelli will have a field day...

On a different note, I have to say that I was extremely disappointed with posts I read making vile allegations about the Faiken. Even though I may not like him as an artist or the fact he is a fraud, I will not allow anyone here to engage or condone that type of posts. I'm sure they were made by someone trying to pin "stuff" on this blog, but it doesn't mean that I will condone it. Please refrain from engaging those posters. I appreciate your continued, faithful support of this blog and I will try to keep it up more often.

Thank you!

THE UN-APPEALING FAYE

July 12, 2011

Hello to all our dear Claymates from sea to shining sea!

A little birdie told me that the Pepsi Challenge starts next week and I hope you’ll be right there with me, trying to get NIP into the winners circle by spending all your free time voting online! It’s what Clayton would want!

Here’s to making NIP #1!

God bless, and have Jesus day,

(Mrs.) Faye Parker

Mother of Clayton

Owner of Interior Designs by Nancy-Faye

4^th Place Finisher in Dancing Like the Stars, Raleigh Edition

========================================================================

July 26, 2011

Hello Friends,

May I call you “friend”? I think of you that way. And I know that Clayton does as well. It has come to my attention that NIP is not receiving the kind of support that we expected from our friends.

Friend, are you one just a “fair weather friend”?

Yes, I am talking to YOU, my friend.

If you are not living up to your responsibilities and duties as a friend of Clay, then perhaps you do not deserve to be called “friend.”

Think about that, my friend.

God bless,

Faye

================================================================================

Hello Claymates,

I wrote a little poem which I hope will speak to your heart. I am not a professional lyricist like Clayton (and in case you’ve forgotten about his skills, you can download “Lover All Alone” for only .89 this week on the Official Clay Aiken Fan Club site.) Anyway, a little verse for you to think about:

When Lil’ Parker hungered for vittles, he’d place his lips on his mama’s breast

Now a bunch of poor lil’ chilrun need to suckle on NIP -- our charity which is the best.

What have you done to help NIP today? Did you drink Pepsi by can or by cup?

If not it will be YOUR fault, my friend, if our dear NIP shrivels right up!

Please give till it hurts,

Nancy-Faye

================================================================

Ladies:

I’ve tried to be nice. I’ve tried to be friendly. I’ve even tried to be poetic. Yet nothing seems to work. NIP is now in nineteenth place in the weekly Pepsi poll. Far be it from me to cast aspersions on other charities, but do you think the American Cancer Society or the American Heart Association really NEED your money the way NIP does? What have they ever done for anybody? Donations to NIP, on the other hand, sent four children to camp in 2010 plus paid several staff salaries (Uncle Jerry, several cousins, and some of Clayton’s BFFs) and more importantly, these donations made Clayton happy and I’m sure we all agree that Clayton’s happiness is our first concern! So quit being selfish pigs and start opening your purses. I’ll be taking names of those who do not make substantial contributions…and they may find themselves sitting in the far dark corners of the room at the next NIP gala if you know what I’m saying.

Carry on as you see fit and expect to pay the consequences,

Mrs. Parker

============================================================

Dear bitches,

Because of YOUR failure to vote in the Pepsi Challenge and your failure to donate to NIP, Clayton’s house is going into foreclosure. Not that your donations were paying for the house or anything like that, but Clayton just got very depressed that you weren’t donating and forgot to pay his mortgage for the past few months. I hope you are happy. It’s your fault Clayton is now homeless. He’s now living with me which means I have to bring him breakfast in bed every day (at 2:00 PM when that son-of-a-B finally wakes up) and I have to chase his latest Manhunt pick-up out of the house and I have to sell Avon door to door for grocery money because Clayton is so broke from “taking a year off” which probably really means take the rest of the decade off because his last four albums and tours were such flops – we told you to buy seven copies of the album, but did you? Did you, you pathetic selfish fucking bitches??? I’m through with ya’ll! Through! Go on, transfer your affections to Adam Lambert or Kelly C. or one of those other “false” idols while I spend the rest of my days washing Clay’s clothes (do you know how bad some of those shirts and sweaters smell when they’ve got three or four layers on top of them on a hot summer day?) and I’ll take care of Parker since Clay hasn’t bothered to see him or call him since February and I’ll start writing those WackyJacky letters for him since he’s too busy trolling Manhunt and biting off the toenails on his size 12 crusty smelly feet. All because you wouldn’t vote. Hope you’re happy!

Fuck you,

Faye

==============================================================

calliyuck does it again! Very funny! Thank You!

Things we can anticipate about Faiken’s video chat.

2011-07-30T11:46:00.003-04:00

1) The person who sets up the camera will have difficulty fitting both the top of Faiken’s head and his new Jumbo Jaw in the screen at the same time.

2) He will look unclean, unwashed, and unshaven and his hair will be lank and greasy.

3) He will swear the mats to secrecy about at least one thing he tells them, thus setting up more fights in the fandom between the “haves” (those who participated) and the “have nots” (those who did not participate.)

4) If someone asks him a question he does not want to answer, he will pretend there is a problem with the connection, tapping on his earpiece and saying he was unable to hear that person and he is going to move on to the next mat.

5) Faiken will backhandedly criticize the music industry, American Idol, Adam Lambert, or anyone who has had more success than he has.

6. He will correct someone's grammar and insult someone's intelligence at least once every ten minutes.

7. Faiken will insist he has many projects on the backburner that he can't talk about yet.

8. While chatting with the mats, Faiken will have another computer open on the side, getting off on e-mailing someone on Manhunt while answering mat questions such as "What is your favorite color?" and "I know you don't plan to marry a girl...but if you did marry a girl...how would you feel about -- tee-hee, giggle -- a 68 year old girl like me?"

9. At the end of the video chat, a few of the mats will hear Faiken mutter, "I hope those bitches are satisfied," but they'll later deny hearing it.

10. No matter how bad Faiken looks or how poorly he treats them, the mats will return to the fan boards saying how GOOOOD he looks and how much he LOOOOOVES them

Thanks to Calliyuck! :)

Questions For Clay Aiken.

2011-07-06T13:50:00.002-04:00

Why are you such an asshole?

What was the outcome of the lawsuits with the fans and the FCC and with your family and Jeanne Holliman??

What did RCA tell you when they dumped your ass?

What did John Dahlstrom & Reed Kelly tell you when they dumped your ass?

lurker
Someone ask him if he's got a special name for his Waldo. Is it like his stupid screennames, i.e. Weenie-Meanie? Longy-Schlongy?

"Hey baby, come meet WankyYanky!"

HM
Here are my questions, in random order:

Why exactly has Kimberly Locke said you two were no longer friends?

Did you offer financial settlement to those 9 fans that sued you for fraudulent image?

If you are such a private person, why did you post very specific information about spending vacation with a boyfriend in a specific hotel in Mexico, including room number???

Was it you who hacked into your own fan club chat room, and said those nasty things to fans?

Did you let Allison Glock know you were gay at the time she was writing that Elle article?

When exactly did you meet Jaymes Foster-Levy?

Was David Foster very pissed at you when he found out you manipulated his sister into in vitro fertilization?

Why did you actually create a child, when your "heart" wasn't into settling down , but instead you prefered to chase dicks all over the country?

Do you really think you are a Christian, or are you just faking it?

Purely for company, do you enjoy more to be around straight women or lesbians? Or none at all?

Who leaked the information to TMZ about the baby?

Are you still friends with Angela?

Have you ever regreted burning bridges with Idol, or commenting in an uncivilized manner about people who have different views than you?

So, is it true that you were banging John D. in the SNL dressing room, and everybody heard it?

Thanks to a comment from a poster in the prior blog. :)

Do YOU have questions for Clay?

"The Mat Mindset"

2011-06-05T12:26:00.000-04:00

The Mat Mindset:

"The president just announced the death of Osama bin Laden. Is it possible Clay is Pakistan right now? He could be there on a UN mission. I hope he is safe!!!!"

"I just blew my nose. It reminded me of Clay because I once saw him blow his nose."

"I was playing Monopoly with my grandkids today and noticed the game was manufactured by Parker Brothers. Parker! Just like Clay's dear son. My grandkids couldn't believe it when I started kissing the Monopoly board!"

"Gas prices went up again this week. Oh, I hope Clay can afford to fill his car up with gas!"

"It's June 2. Remember Clay once had a concert on this very date? Who wants to join me in sending him flowers to commemorate the occasion?"

"I was frying up bacon this morning and stared a huge grease fire. My house is destroyed and two of my kids are severely injured. But before I take them to the hospital, I just had to say that the grease fire reminded me of the time Clay sang "Grease" in that red jacket and did the hip thrust. Whooooeeee!"

special thanks to Calliyuck!

A Real “What The F*ck” Moment

2011-04-24T23:46:00.002-04:00

A recent claymate’s blog blaming American Idol and RCA for the demise of Clay’s career made me shake my head. Then came…

A Real “What The F*ck” Moment

I found something on Twitter that literally came close to catapulting me from my computer into a total freaking conniption. Glambush, who some of us know to be one of the many names used by the notorious Cheeexy, has once again shown herself to be the vile maniac that she has been known for the past 8 years (I’ll add her rants later). The point that I would like to make is that even though she is just one person being singled out, she is representative of that psycho-socially disturbed group that has been the cancerous underbelly of Clay’s career for the past 8 years. They represent the misfits in society who took on a new life through Clay Aiken. These are the real cyber terrorists who have tormented fellow fans, other artists, bloggers, DJs, journalists, you name it, they were there to harass.

What’s This All About?

Glambush/Cheeexy recently got into a racist rage of “defending” Clay against anything negative being said about him. Clay is like anybody else when it comes to negativity on Twitter - everybody gets it but Glambush is an extremist who stays on the defense. She has other names on Twitter but she posts the vile comments under the Glambush name. She uses Adam Lambert as her avatar, which I’m sure is her cowardly way to give the impression that she is an Adam fan. WARNING: Here are some of the quotes from Glambush. The quotes are very vile and offensive but posted to show how extreme things can get when deranged people like her are part of a fandom. To think that she would post such replies, even if the person were being nasty about Clay is unthinkable.

This was posted to several people on Twitter:

Glambush: Piece of shit fucking homophobic nigger!

3 days ago

Glambush: Its always the blacks being ignorant

8 Apr

Read the rest of her ramblings here:

http://twitter.com/#!/search/glambush

Conclusion:

Is this to say that Glambush represents all Clay fans? No it doesn’t but Clay has too many Glambush type fans with over the top and deranged behavior that he should have reeled in a long time ago. These have always been the fans that all Clay fans have been judged by which is unfortunate for those who were in it for the music, friendship and fun. No, madam blogger, American Idol and RCA has nothing to do with the demise of Clay Aiken.

A million thanks to our contributor for this awesome piece

"Mr. Michael, Why is My Douchebag Son Shunned from American Idol?"

2011-04-09T22:18:00.003-04:00

Can someone please tell me this didn't happen. Please tell me Mama Faye couldn't have possibly asked the dumbest ass question she "allegedly" asked of Mr. Michael. I mean, REALLY?

Let's assume, for the sake of argument, that she actually, was stupid enough to present said question. Is the son she's referring to very same one who felt was above American Idol therefore deserved to be on his own and away from the 19E machine? Is he the same one who hired lawyers and broke free of his commitment to 19E? Now wait, is he the one who at every chance he bad-mouth AI and equated the not watching the show anymore with " people not necessarily going to their high school games after graduating". REALLY?

Is that son the one whose fans constantly lauded him in his decision to dismiss AI and celebrated the dissolved contract? The same fans who considered American Idol an embarrassment to be associated with therefore, he needed to move as far away as he could. REALLY???

Of course once again, we will be deemed as "haters" for stating the facts and they will deny, deny and did I mention deny, all the hatred against AI that they spewed in the past. Because let's face it, Claymats, Mats, Mates, Claymutts or whatever you want to call them, will NEVER own up to their disgraceful behavior. They will continue to blame someone else for his fuck-ups and justify their actions against those who dared confront them.

In spite of the fact that I was hoping Mama Faye didn't ask the dumb question, I also believe that it's just another attempt to blame someone else for his failures and make it look like American Idol is behind it, except this time no one will buy it except for the stupid Mats. The whole Facebook fiasco is beyond believable and all I can ask is REALLY?

She had the nerve to ask why is he being shunned? REALLY?

Wishing "The Fraud Squad" a FABULOUS spring!

2011-04-05T18:30:00.003-04:00

Figured I'd surprise Zyban with a new blog! Also wanted to see if I remembered how to do it! :)

2011-03-13T22:20:00.002-04:00

Now that the "Fried and Through" tour is over we have time to talk about how far The Fraud Squad have come.

I remember how it started with the Tin Foil group and how much fun we had back then. When they were no longer able to continue, Percocet took over and The Fraud Squad was created. She was AWESOME and the Queen of one liners (Perc) couldn't have done a better job. Even though she had some trying times with things that went on which should have never happened, she pushed through it all until family/health issues kept her away. It was then that The Fraud Squad Revisited was born and I took it over.

It's hard to believe that it's been four years since we've been at the FSR, but it hasn't been without hardships. We fought hard to expose the fraud Faiken perpetuated and regularly warned his fans about how they were been lied too. We were vilified, harassed, attacked and horrible lies were told about this group. We persevered and once and for all it was the Faiken himself who vindicated us. We have never lied, made up stories or made excuses. It NEVER was about him being gay, it was about how he lied about it by creating a false image and pointing at others going as far as accusing them of having "rotten insides". Many more lies were made up by the Claymates and they became well known for their vindictive and callous nature when it came to defending their "God".

It came upon a time when I was getting tired of it all and having family responsibilities to handle, I decided it was time to close the blog. As I made my intention clear to all of you about the blog, a big fat mouthed Claymat had the nerve to respond with a "Don't let the door hit you...". When I read it my reaction was "Oh NO BITCH you DI'INT!" Snap, Snap, Snap. In retrospect I'm glad she did and on behalf of all you posting now, I want to tell that Mat, THANK YOU BITCH! YOU are the responsible one for this blog remaining open. So again, WE ALL THANK YOU for the opportunity you provided us to remain open, read and hear your high almighty God admit what we ALL KNEW WAAAAY back when. I sincerely can't thank you enough.

Now the tide has turned and I'm happy this blog became the forum for those of you who felt deceived, but now have a place where you can vent and express your feelings without being chastised or reprimanded for not worshiping and/or sanctioning a fraud. I assure you, we are here for as long as you want it to be.

I want to thank those of you who have been here all this time specially Pugmill and D for holding the fort during my hard times and also Calliyuk for his contributions. Thanks also to the anonymous contributors who have come to our aid when we needed new posts. THANK YOU BITCH for making it possible for us to have remained this long!!!

Love Y'all!!!!

There's a Logical Explanation....

2011-03-02T22:17:00.002-05:00

To all of you "haters", there's a reasonable explanation for the total disregard for the well being of a fainting lady displayed by the Faiken during one of his latest concerts. He wasn't being an uncaring douche bag, or unsympathetic jerk. See? what happened was that when he saw the lady go down, he ASSumed she was displaying the "fainting goat" syndrome.He thought that she was so excited to see him that she fainted and since he knows how "sensitive" his fans are, it wasn't a big deal so, he went about his business. NO! he wasn't being an asshole!

A witness stated, in the middle of all of this, a fireman and some paramedics showed up, and Clay -- a trouper to the end -- started singing "The Real Me" down at the other end of the stage. I wish I could tell you how it was -- I have the impression it was exquisite, but there were three paramedics working on this woman between him and me and their radios were buzzing and people were whispering all around us. What a trouper indeed. I mean, how dared this old lady faint while he was singing? How dared she bother the audience with her "uncalled for seizure". THE NERVE!! Shheezz, it's unforgivable.

Fortunately Faiken's level of concentration and "Claymate tuning-out" abilities, did not distract him from the task at hand, delivering the crappiest (not to mention, careless) crap-fest to date. I'm telling you...haters will be hatahs!

The "Fried and Through" Alfalfa Tour Now Playing!

2011-02-11T23:29:00.002-05:00

I couldn't help but watch Faiken's F&T video of the"Love Story" song posted on you tube. MY EARS, OH DEAR GAWD.....ARE BLEEDING!!! He sounded awful. His voice is really shot and OMG, what's with the Alfalfa hairdo??? Is the enemy his new hairdresser? Well, at least he made my day because I almost peed on myself laughing. There's no doubt that the Faiken is fried AND through, LOL!!

Career Meets DECCA Toilet

2011-02-01T01:11:00.001-05:00

Rumor has it that the Faiken "left" DECCA. Although not confirmed yet, we can't help but emphasize the fact this would hardly be news to us because his career has pretty much been in the toilet for quite a while. Of course the mats would love to believe otherwise, but we all know the truth. Hopefully the mats will soon realize that what goes around, comes around and like a boomerang, all their ill wishes for other idols or artists have turned around to bite them in their fat asses. WE TOLD YOU SO!!!!

2011-01-15T01:18:00.001-05:00

Claymats never cease to amaze me. I really had no plans of writing a new blog until I read Corabitch's comments about Faiken's recent tour with Ruben. Her comment is so unrealistic and delusional that all I thought of saying was, "REALLY?, BITCH PUULLLEEEZZZ".

Happy Holidays FS!!!

2010-12-09T21:42:00.000-05:00

Just wanted to create a new blog to reflect the season. May you all have the greatest Merry Christmas and even greater New Year!!!

Let's take a minute to thank God or whichever deity you worship, for all the blessings as well as trials and tribulations we may have gone through this year. I thank him for his blessings and the friends I have made through my journey in life and for the strength he gives me to overcome any hardships I may encounter as well for the joy I find in the little things. Have a blessed Thanksgiving Day Fraud "Squaders"!!!

GLEE - A CPR Prescription for a Fleeting Singing Career

2010-11-11T20:08:00.001-05:00

Name: Clay Aiken
Claim to Fame: "American Idol" runner up
Missing Since: He became a father and came out on the cover of People
Role on Glee: Aiken plays a motivational speaker spreading the "It Gets Better" message. He bonds with Kurt and they end up performing a show-stopping duet.

http://wlit.com/cc-common/gallery/display.html?album_id=259618

I can see the Mats salivating over the possibilities they may perceive coming out of this sarcastic article. I'm almost sure Mats' letters will be arriving at the Glee's production office enumerating all the reasons why Faiken will benefit Glee. LOL! I mean after all, he's a ratings mega booster, right? We all know GLEE really needs him, LMAO!!

Hummmm, how many other TV programs can use some Faiken boosting??? AHHHH the possibilities...

Can you Predict Faiken's Future?

2010-10-18T18:41:00.000-04:00

There's not much going on with Faiken's career even though the delusional mats seem to think otherwise. I mean, R E A L L Y!

Soooo, I thought it would be fun to once again speculate and toy with the many different things we think he would be doing in the near future. Wanna' play?

"Buy Tickets" at $250 a Pop???

2010-09-14T23:18:00.000-04:00

Faiken is at it again blogging only when he needs mullah from his Claymats. A one time concert at $250 per ticket????? WTFF?!?! Who the hell does he thinks he is? Frank Sinatra? Is he that hard up for money? Actually I guess it makes sense. Considering the significantly dwindling number of fans remaining, he has to charge that much to recoup some money. We all know only the craziest of the craziest would actually shell out that ridiculous amount of cash to go see a wannabe star and, did you hear how he asks for ticket"S" (plural) to be bought? I would love to see how many nutcases will obliged him. Desperate much, Faiken?

SCARLETT'S JAILHOUSE DIARY

2010-07-26T16:24:00.002-04:00

You asked for it, here it is.

July 24, 2010

I can’t believe I am sitting in the Jacksonville County Jail. All I did was try to film Clay’s concert tonight – something I’ve done 249 times in the past. I never expected to be pulled from my seat, have my camera smashed on the sidewalk and then handcuffed and tossed in a jail cell. I told the policeman I was just trying to get some Clack, but he wouldn’t listen. Hey…maybe he thought I said “crack.” I bet that’s it! They probably think I’m a druggie. This will all be straightened out when my husband and kids come down to spring me from this awful place!



July 25, 2010

Tough love??? I can’t believe it! Frank and the kids say they are forcing me to stay in jail so I’ll get over my “Clay addiction.” I don’t know why they’re so mad at me. All I did was spend our entire retirement nest egg and both the kids’ college funds to win that Styrofoam cup that Clay once drank a sip of coffee from. That was worth $85,000, wasn’t it?



July 28, 2010

I had some visitors today. No, not Frank and the kids; they’ve changed our home phone number so I can’t all them anymore. Instead, I got a visit from Aikenheart, Clay’smydouche, Thenextjaymes, and Clayshakesmyovaries. They are shocked that I’m still in prison and they’re hoping that they can talk to Clay himself about getting me released. I know that that sexysingerman will do ANYTHING for his fans, so I’m sure I’ll be out of here by tomorrow.



September 15, 2010

I’ve now been in prison nearly two months. I missed the entire Timeless Tour (I had tickets for all seventeen venues) and haven’t been on the Clayboard in so long that I’ve forgotten my password. On the positive side, I am now having a lesbian affair with a female prisoner who looks JUST LIKE Clay!

November 11, 2010

It’s been ages since I’ve seen Aikenheart, Clay’smydouche or any of my other Claymate friends – and I’ve just learned the reason why! Turns out that when Clay teased me from the stage in Jacksonville (he is SOOOO snarky!) it was a signal for security to come arrest me. Yes, Clay was the one who instigated my arrest! Now that my fellow mates have found out, they’ve taken his side in the matter, saying I shouldn’t have disobeyed Clay by taking videos that night. Clay told someone at a M&G that they should all turn against me, so they have. What a brat Clay can be. What a cute little brat. If I ever get my hands on you, Mr. Aiken, I will give you twenty lashes with a wet noodle!

P.S. If anyone ever reads this diary, please know that I am just joking about punishing Clay. He is my Idol…my American Idol…through and through and I would never harm a hair on his head!



January 29, 2011

My trial starts today. I have been charged with ATTEMPTED MURDER! I can’t believe it. Apparently Clay claims that the flash and moving lights from my videocam can hurt his eyes…and if he can’t see, he could walk off the edge of the stage…and if he walked off the edge of the stage, he could fall and break his neck. I never thought of that possibility. Clay is so wise…so very very wise. The other reason that I’m being charged with attempted murder is that Clay felt that if I posted Clack from this tour on the internet, NJUs would watch the footage and see how BAD his show was…and that would “kill” his career. Clay is so smart. And I cannot refute anything Clay says, so I MUST plead guilty to attempted murder!



January 30, 2011

I pled guilty to attempted murder in court today. It was only after I confessed that they told me this is a death penalty state. Still, my court-appointed lawyer says that hardly anyone is executed for ATTEMPTED murder…only for murder itself. So I’ll probably just be in prison for sixty years. Let’s see, in sixty years, Clay will be 91 years old. I know he’ll still be a huge star then! He is going to have a long career…I know it in my heart.

February 15, 2011

Oh great. Someone from another state petitioned the court, asking that I be punished to the full extent of the law, including execution by electric chair. I don’t know who would make such a demand. The names on the petition had been censored with a magic marker, so I can only read some of the letters:

CL__    A_K__, RAL__GH, N.C.

NANCY-F_Y E   P__K_R, R__EIGH, N.C.

I wonder who they could be!





March 16, 2011

Guess who was behind the push to get me executed? Mr. Clay Aiken, that’s who! Yep, after all I’ve done for him – like insist he wasn’t gay even though everyone knew he was, and insist he just had TMJ surgery even though everyone knew he had plastic surgery, and insist he was selling all those records on his own merit even though I used to buy seven to ten thousand copies myself. What a l’il stinker he is! If I didn’t love him so much, I’d hate him! (JUST KIDDING!!!!) Anyway, the Florida courts are unsure whether I should be executed for murder since I didn’t, you know, actually KILL anyone. So they are putting it to public vote. Many Claymates are going to come down to Florida and try to vote in the election with fake IDs. Faye Parker and Clay’s friend have posted instructions on the internet, showing the mateshow they can re-set the voting machines in order to vote again and again. It’s so nice to see the mates working together for one of Clay’s causes! I wish I could be there. Guess I’ll just have to fill out an absentee ballot.

April 1, 2011

Filled out my absent ballot today and voted to have myself executed. I know it’s not in my best interests, but I always have to do what Clay wants me to do.   It’s part of my sacred charge as a Claymate.



April 2, 2011

The “Executions for Attempted Murder” law passed in yesterday’s election.

I will be executed on May 1. I’m so excited! That’s the eighth anniversary of the night we heard Clay sing “Build Me Up Buttercup” on American Idol!   EEEEEEEEEEEEE!


April 28, 2011

Got a letter from Ruben Studdard (who should have come in SECOND on AI!!!!) today. He volunteered to give a benefit concert for me, in hopes of getting me off death row. But I told him no. I think I belong here. This is where Clay (THE REAL WINNER!!!!!!) wants me and I will always be where Clay wants me to be. The warden asked what I want for my last meal and of course I said Krispy Kremes and Hot Pockets, acourse!!!

May 1, 2010

The warden said I could carry this portable tape recorder to the death chamber with me, so I could record my final diary entry. I’m hoping that Clay will be here as a witness to my execution. Wouldn’t that be COOL? I just made out my last will and testament. I’m leaving everything to You-Know-Who, but I included a cute note saying, “Don’t spend it all on Krispy Kremes!” I hope that makes him laugh. He deserve every bit of happiness he can have.

Oh look! There he is! And he’s got spiky hair – my favorite!!!!

My, how big his jaw is!

And his cloobies.

I wonder if he’s wearing the Macomb Township jeans.

Oh how sweet…Clay just asked the warden if he can press the switch to start the electrocution. Says he’s always wanted to off a Claymate. I love his snarky sense of humor!

Clay’s walking over to press the button. He’s laughing. Oh Clay, you always could press my buttons!

Clay, I lov---

ZAPPP!!!!

Scarlett was pronounced dead at 12:05 AM on May 1, 2011. Afterwards, Clay Aiken held a press conference in the parking lot of the Jacksonville Execution Center, announcing the release of his next CD, “TWELVE SONGS FROM THE 1950s THAT NO ONE REMEMBERS OR CARES ABOUT.”

Calliyuck does it again... Thanks!!!

The "Brainless Tour"

2010-07-24T16:16:00.001-04:00

As we all know, the "Brainless Tour" began its train wreck road and we could not be happier. Clay and his Claymates are this blog's gifts that keep on giving and they didn't disappoint. Sadly, they added Ruben to the mix which is really tragic. I won't say anything else because the videos circulating are saying it all for themselves.

WWTMD (What Will The Mats Do?)

2010-07-20T23:42:00.002-04:00

Run down the aisles toward the exit so they can be first in line for snacks.

What the Mats will do when Faiken sings:
Loudly scream, “I LOVE YOU, CLAY!”
What the Mats will do when Ruben sings:
Loudly sigh, “I wish Clay had a better opening act than this guy.”

What the Mats will do when Faiken sings:
Cellcert every nano-second of the concert.
What the Mats will do when Ruben sings:
Yak on their cellphones with friends, frequently saying, “I can hardly hear you. Some fat black guy is on stage right now, trying to sing.”

What the Mats will do when Faiken sings:
Laugh hysterically his inane banter.
What the Mats will do when Ruben sings:
Pretend they don’t get any of his jokes.

What the Mats will do when Faiken sings:
Use binoculars to play “Where’s Waldo?”
What the Mats will do when Ruben sings:
Get out a Where’s Waldo book and read until Faiken returns to the stage.

What the Mats will do when Faiken sings:
Throw panties at the stage
What the Mats will do when Ruben sings:
Stand up, stretch, yawn, and adjust their panties (that’s what happens when you wear a thong and weigh three hundred pounds)

What the Mats will do when Faiken sings:
Wet their Depends.
What the Mats will do when Ruben sings:
Go to the restroom to change their Depends.

What the Mats will do when Faiken sings:
Hold up a single finger to show he should have been #1 on American Idol.
What the Mats will do when Ruben sings:
Hold up two fingers to show he should have been #2 that season.

What the Fraud Squad will do when Faiken sings:
...We will also hold up a single finger.
It just won’t be the same finger the Mats are using.

A Claymate's M&G Experience

2010-07-10T20:08:00.000-04:00

OMG! OMG! I just got back from my M&G with Clay and it was the best experience of my life!!! I have to write it all down now before I forget! After spending all day deciding on which outfit to wear, I got to the venue an hour ahead of time and was told to wait in Clay's dressing room with about ten other lucky M&G winners. The room was poorly lit, there was an overflowing toilet in the corner and there were several rats scurrying around the floor. A couple women complained about the room, but there were roundly silenced by the rest of us, as we firmly explained that Clay would rather spend his money on CHARITY than in getting this room fixed up for a one-time meet-and-greet.

Soon Jerome and several security guards came in and checked our purses. We had been told not to bring cameras, so whenever a security guard found a camera in someone's purse, he would smash it against the wall and break it. Good! People should not go against Clayby's wishes. I mean, what if they damaged his eyes with a bright camera flash? While we were waiting, several of the lucky M&G winners performed oral sex on Clay's security team so that they could stand closest to sexysingerman when he came in the room. Meanwhile, other members of the security team frisked us to make sure we were not carrying any weapons that might cause Clayton harm. Just as the security guard was frisking me with his electronic wand, Clay entered the room. I screamed, "CLAY, I LOVE YOU!" and Clay rolled his eyes (what a l'il stinker he is!) and told the security guard to give me the full body search, including a "cavity check." Honestly, I thought that meant he was going to examine my teeth next, but instead he stuck that electronic wand someplace I never expected. It wasn't very comfortable, but I must admit that experiencing anal penetration did make me feel closer to Clay. After all, it meant we had something in common!

Clay then quickly walked down the aisle, shaking each of our hands. He pretended he couldn't stand to touch us...but I knew he was just being snarky. What a scamp! I thought it was adorable how he immediately came up with a nickname for each of us as he met us. We roared with laughter as he referred to one woman as "Pruneface," another as "Maggot," and still another as "Wide Load." When he got to me, I told him my name was Colleen and he called me Cow-leen and then said, "MOO-ve over, I'm in a hurry." What a cutie! I playfully slapped him on the shoulder and he responded by punching me in the jaw. I didn't mind. I only lost two teeth. Besides, I know I shouldn't have touched him. Jerome had warned us about touching him already. Clay said, "You know what happens to bad little cows who touch me?" and then snapped his fingers. Two of his security guards immediately appeared, turned me upside down and gave me a "swirly" in that overflowing, unflushed toilet in the corner. Girls, let me tell you: Clay's toilet water smells just like fresh laundry! If you don't believe me, ask NYCMomforClay. She got a swirly too, because she broke the rule about asking how Parker was doing. However, you can't ask NYCMomforClay about it till next week when she gets out of the hospital. She got some kind of infection when she choked on Clay's toilet water...but even she whispered, "Smells...like...fresh laundry" as they wheeled her out to the ambulance. Next, Clay and his security team went through all our purses and took all our money. Nobody minded, as we all knew it was probably going to a children's charity. Clay even mentioned that he planned to spend the money on a "rent boy" which I assume is a young boy in need. Oh that Clay...he always puts children first!

Before we knew it, the M&G was over. As we left the dressing room, Clay gave us each a cute little kick in the butt. It kind of hurt, but I know he did it with love. I told Clay, "Now that you touched me there, I'll never wash my posterior again." Clay said, "From the way you smell, Cow-leen, I don't think you ever washed it before now either." What a snarky boy he is! Then I blew him a kiss, he gave me the finger, and my meet and greet was over. It was a once in a lifetime experience. I could not love him more.

Thanks Calliyuck

Adam Lambert vs. Clay Aiken: A Tale of Two Coming Outs

2010-07-06T23:48:00.001-04:00

By Michael Musto, Tue., Jul. 6 2010 @ 12:30PM

Adam Lambert is all over the place with his hit record, so I honestly don't think coming out got in the way of his making a huge splash at all.

If anything, it added to it, and there are plenty of girls who can still fetishize about him and crush on him even though they know he's hugely "that way."

Furthermore, young boys can do so, too!

But to me, the best thing about Adam's coming out is that he did it pretty early in the game -- right after being booted off American Idol.

This way, his fans know the truth right off the bat, and they're with him and he can build a nice, long career with them sans distrust or pretense.

Clay Aiken, on the other hand, waited to come out till he was on the way down and needed a boost.

By that point, his fan base was clogged with a lot of haters and denialists who clung to the idea that he was straight, egged on by the fact that Clay didn't want to say anything to the contrary.

By the time he said something, his diminishing base got smaller because the dummos acted out of homophobia and abandoned the gay ship.

I wish both singers well, but I feel Adam had the better plan.

Thanks to Loyal Lurker for this great find. It is worth discussing.

Happy 4th of July

2010-07-04T12:31:00.000-04:00

May this day be a happy one and PLEASE remember our troops in Afghanistan and Iraq, without them and all of those who have fought for our freedom through the history of our nation, we wouldn't be enjoying the fruit of their hard labor, FREEDOM! God Bless America!!!!

Hard out Here For a Mat

2010-06-15T00:26:00.000-04:00

You know it's hard out here for a mat (you ain't knowin)
When Clay's telling you to buy twenty more (you ain't knowin)
Clay gettin' rich, but the mat gettin' poor (you ain't knowin)
When he blogs, we do what he say (you ain't knowin)
Spending all our weekly pay (you ain't knowin)

In my eyes I done seen some crazy thangs for Clay (he's not gay!)
Moved his CD in stores and beat up a DJ (who wouldn't play)
Bidding eight thousand for dinner with sexy singerman cost a lot My house was foreclosed, but boy Clay looked hot
Done seen mats skip surgery as if it don't mean a thing
Who needs a kidney transplant when you can hear him sing?We've got to make him rich or he won't love us no more
Yeah, Clay is our pimp and every mat is his whore.

You know it's hard out here for a mat (you ain't knowin)
When Clay's telling you to buy twenty more (you ain't knowin)
Clay gettin' rich, but the mat gettin' poor (you ain't knowin)
When he blogs, we do what he say (you ain't knowin)
Spending all our weekly pay (you ain't knowin)

Thank you Calliyuck!!

Calling all puppetmates!!

2010-06-06T22:23:00.004-04:00

Welcome everyone to the all new ClayAiken.com

It's a departure from the old site, that's for sure. I am still having a bit of trouble finding my way around, but I will say I think it's absolutely incredible and I am so proud of all we have on this new home.

What a busy week this has been... for all of us.

I don't think I have slept this little since 2003. Early mornings and lots of press to herald in the new album... which I hope by now all of you guys have and love.

As you know... it really is the one I have wanted to make for years, and I am so glad that the folks at Decca have been so wonderful about letting me to what feels most natural to me.

We still have three days to go in our first sales week. And, although sales aren't what they used to be for any one (except maybe Jack Johnson!! Wink ) we still have three days to rally the troops!!

Drag your friends and loved ones to the CD stores or the iTunes home page and lets see if we have it in us to break the top % again.

It's gonna be a TOUGH one this time... but I believe that, if anyone can help do it... you all can.

Heck... I've bought 20 myself....

and though, we aren't all going to buy multiple copies... (damn this economy) ... they do make great gifts... and y'all are a convincing bunch! You ought able able to talk folks in to buying copies as father's day gifts (and late mothers day gifts!) ha ha

Plans for the tour are coming along quite nicely. I really think that this show with Ruben is going to be an amazing time. BAsed on what seems to be coming together, I believe it will be one of my most favorite since the Jukebox.

You will love it too!!

When the whirlwind dies down, I'll be back to talk more.

Until then.. I love you all.... and lets all keep working on a great first week number!

xoxo

This is the latest blog by the Faiken and as expected, he did so once again, to ask something (money related) from his puppets the crackmates. The blog is no surprise. For years the crackmates have fiercely denied their multiple purchases and/or how it created the false impression of success. It was contrived and now we see how the master puppeteer is still trying to pull the strings except that there are no more strings to pull from. He once asked them to buy 7 CD's and they all acted on his command. He's now "suggesting" they buy 20 because he already did? WOWSERS! Sadly, the die hards will continue to justify AND deny how they ruined his career by helping him create a false sense of success. They lied and cheated to make him number one back in 2003, but the gig is up and many have waken up from their stupor to realize what a fake he is. KARMA BABY, KARMA.

Congratulations Lee DeWyze!

2010-05-26T23:46:00.001-04:00

It was one of the least memorable idol seasons IMO, but a new idol has been selected and deserves to be congratulated. This season was weird because there were such great contestants that never made it to the show and some who made it, but were cut way too early in the game. I never watched one entire show except for the finale and only because I wanted to see what they would do for Simon. I wasn't disappointed because they did a fairly good job sending him off. I was very surprised not to see the Faiken amongst the ones who participated, but again, not really considering how much he has trashed 19E and the Idol machine in the past for the executives to care to have him there. Instead I happily watched a great rendition of "Pants on the Ground" that I thought was great, not to mention, HILLLLLArious! I think now that Simon is gone, AI is done and over with.

Can the Claymates be any more transparent?

2010-03-31T23:27:00.003-04:00

This week I have been enormously amused and entertained by the Claymates, the gifts that keep on giving. Just when you think they can't possibly be any more transparent, the tour with Ruben is announced (by Ruben mainly) and all of a sudden they developed a "love" for Ruben and his voice. WTF????

Now they bombard his twitter account praising the hell out of him and professing their love and admiration for his artistry. REALLY? Now they also mention how much they always loved him on Idol and how great him and Clay sound together. It is so transparent because no message is written without mentioning the Faiken at any point. They are ALL now looking forward to seeing him on tour with their master.

It's hard to believe that these were the same people who a few years ago reviled him and tried to ruin his career through the internet. They were a powerful bunch at the time and did created a lot of drama (some still try). They used to call Ruben all types of names, they demean his career and/or accomplishments and always talked about how Faiken was the real friend (nevermind the fact he mocked his weight and sweetness during his concerts). They are supportive fans of Ruben now? REALLY? No, REALLY!!!

It is also funny that they feel "offended" that a great majority of Ruben fans find the tour a bad idea and would not support it. How convenient, that they are now oh so sad for Ruben and they "will clap harder for Ruben because boo hoo, his fans won't support him". Yeah right. I believe that Ruben fans see this tour for what it is, a financial opportunity, but Ruben is sadly mistaken if he thinks Faiken will bring in the same amount of fans he used to before his "confession". Faiken fans needs to realize that Faiken also see them as "milking cows" (no pun intended) and why not "milk" them one more time. Too bad the utters are drier than they were in yesteryear.

In spite of it all, Ruben continues his career and even though it has not been a hugely successful one, Ruben has maintained the popularity in radio that Faiken has never been able to achieve. Ruben is frequently on TV in shows that are relevant to his fanbase and has continued to record and remains a frequent guest at American Idol, what he calls his "stumping ground".

I'm looking forward to the "Timeless Tour", but for many other reasons than Claymates may have. I'm looking forward to the comments, hyperbole and/or excuses that will abound. Bring them on Claymates, we are anxiously waiting.

Is Clay Aiken Lying???

2010-03-10T14:37:00.002-05:00

ADDITIONAL TICKETS JUST RELEASED FOR CLAY AIKEN’S SPECIAL ONE NIGHT ONLY CONCERT ON MARCH 12 IN RALEIGH! THE SINGER WILL HIT THE STAGE WITH SPECIAL GUESTS FOR THE FIRST EVER LIVE PERFORMANCE OF HIS UPCOMING ALBUM, “TRIED AND TRUE”

A limited number of tickets will be released for Clay Aiken’s highly sought after, one night only concert event.

Aiken originally sold out the Memorial Auditorium in his hometown, Raleigh, NC after being on-sale to the public for just minutes. The special event, which is being recorded for television, requires certain set ups for camera blocking and staging, inherently obstructing the view of a small amount of seats. Due to popular demand, the singer and his production team worked to reconfigure the stage set up in order to release a limited number of seats that were being held for the TV production. Tickets will go on-sale at Noon EST on Tuesday, March 9, 2010 available at www.ticketmaster.com.

The singer put limited tickets on sale for fan club members on Tuesday, February 16th. Tickets were then made available for the general public at noon on Friday, February 19th. Fans flooded the online ticket sites and phone lines for the opportunity to be the first to hear Aiken’s new music selling out the singer’s special one night only show in mere minutes.

Aiken is promising fans an exciting 2010 with this special one night performance being just the beginning. The performer extraordinaire is gearing up for the release of his new album, “Tried and True.” The special concert, which will be taped for television, is the world premiere live performance of his forthcoming album being released on Decca this Spring.

Clay had this to say:
“I sincerely thank my fans for their support. Selling out the Memorial Auditorium in minutes is so mind blowing to me, and now luckily I can get some more fans into the audience with these extra tickets” said the singer. “I can’t wait to share the new music with everyone and I promise to make it a one of a kind, extra special show.”

A search of Ebay will tell anyone with half a brain that there are plenty of tickets.

What is Clay up to?? Is he secretly using his fanbase too sell those empty seats??

Tragedy Strikes Haiti. Where is UNICEF goodwill ambassador Clay Aiken?

2010-01-15T17:27:00.002-05:00

A tragedy of heartbreaking proportions took place with the earthquake in Haiti.
Many celebrities and entertainers are asking their fan base for donations.
Celebrities are also gathering to form an MTV telethon to air on January 22nd.

Where's Mr. Unicef and has he had anything to say about this? Is he really so busy recording his new piece of shit CD that he hasn't had time to blog one time to his fans?

He's probably hiding behind Jerome and crying "please don't let me be sent to Haiti! There's dead bodies and dirt and stuff!!!".

Once again, Clay Aiken as self serving asshole.

Table Scraps Regurgitated by Clay Aiken

2009-11-12T21:04:00.004-05:00

What a glorious day in ClayLand and especially for the Fraud Squad. The best news EVER! Clay blogged and rumor has it that Clay and Ruben will be touring. And a new CD!! Who could ask for more?? Clay's blog courtesy of Anonymous...

"Table scraps
11/12/09 19 Comments

So, it has been brought to my attention that I haven’t blogged recently. True! I have been really bad. So sorry. I think sometimes I don’t have anything to say, and then by the time I do have something to say there’s just so much that I can’t figure out what exactly to talk about. So here are the table scraps that have been piling up in my brain for the last several weeks

Thanks SOOOOOO much to all of you who were able to attend the NIP Champions Gala. It was great fun and a real success. I think we raised the bard this year and i look forward to making it a huge hit in years to come.

What happened to Wake County Schools?!?1 Now that i have a kid i am so much more invested and I am EXTREMELY disappointed that so many selfish idiots ran and won seats on the school board. i hope we can get rid of them as soon as possible before they ruin my school system. Idiots.

Been traveling a lot lately to work on the album. I am very excited about it. Recording orchestras in London. Working on song arrangements and such in New York. Will be headed back to london and then on to Germany in the coming weeks to do more orchestra stuff and to do vocals. I am quite happy with what we are doing this time, and extremely satisfied with the direction we are headed in on this album. It is going to be fun.

Looking at trying to do a PBS special for next year to go along with this album. I think it may work out. That will be fun, and it will target an audience that I really hope to target this time. We’ll keep you up to date.

While in London last time I went, with Hannah, to see Sister Act: the Musical. I went because I thought it would be a disaster and I wanted to see how bad it would be. I was SOOO WRONG. It was incredible. REALLY great. The sets were some of the most amazing I have EVER seen on a stage and the music was SPECTACULAR. Alan Menken, who wrote Aladdin and Beauty and The Beast and MUCH more, wrote the music for this… it was SOOO good. Makes me REALLY want to do hunchback of Notre Dame (which he also wrote) on Broadway. Anyone know anyone at Disney Theatricals? Wanna pull some strings?

-I also saw Precious (the movie)… UNBELIEVABLE. It was so real and so gritty and so horrifying. Yet, at the same time, there were amazing glimpses of light in it. Several times the entire audience laughed out loud. It was really great. When it opens in your city, you must go! Mo’Nique MUST win the Oscar for supporting actress. You will NOT have a dry eye when you see this film.

Yippee! The News & Observer is now on my Kindle!

One of my contacts fell out today and it took forever to put it back in. Then, once I got it in, it hurt. So, I tried to take it back out and it didn’t want to come out. What is that all about? Why do they fall out when you want them in, and stay stuck in when you want them out? ? ? So now my eye is all red, and I’m on to glasses again for a while.

Did you see Larry King last night? Carrie Prejean is a complete dumbass!

That’s all my brain can regurgitate for now. Miss y’all. See ya soon!

What makes this Clay photo so totally awesome is the dude with the eyeball on his moob. I wonder if by flexing his pecs he can make the eyebrow raise up and down?
Is Reed still in Clays life?
Is Clay socializing with one of these guys while in San Francisco?
Enquiring minds want to know!

One Great Guy - Ruben Studdard

2009-10-24T21:32:00.003-04:00

Some great stuff happening for Ruben Studdard these days. His Tour with David Foster aka Clayton's dixie cup "brother in-law" and his participation in "Sickle Cell Empowerment Day” in Louisiana this past week. I'm quoting from the story here in The Advocate ...

"Studdard then lifted the crowd with a few songs, including “I Am a Fighter,” a new one which he said was inspired by his work on the “Be Sickle Smart” campaign.

He said he met one child who drew a picture that symbolized living with sickle-cell disease. The picture showed the child behind prison bars with his fists clenched in the air.

Studdard said that image inspired his new song, adding he plans to record a whole CD for sickle-cell disease awareness.

Studdard said there needs to be a cure — not a Band-Aid — and that will not happen without more fundraising and awareness."

You can help but love this man, he's truly a person you can look up to. Here's a photo from the article...

And big huggies and kisses to toni7babe for her fabulous photo of Ruben up above.

New gig for Clay on Broadway?

2009-10-04T03:08:00.002-04:00

This just blows my mind. NCGurrl at the Crack House has high hopes for Clay. Personally, I think her suggestion is marvelous, but I wonder how many of the mats will agree with her. So far they are pretty much ignoring her post. But we at the FS will not let something like this slide by.

It's such a grand career move speculation that it deserves its own blog. I'd pay to see this, I really would.

Any chance this could be a vehicle for Clays return to Broadway? It would be a fun play to attend.

'Priscilla Queen of the Desert' Will Strut to Broadway in Early 2011

The North American premiere of the musical Priscilla Queen of the Desert in Toronto in fall 2010 will be followed by a spring 2011 opening on Broadway, according to an industry casting notice.

Produced by Back Row Productions, Specific Films, Rafford Films, Nederlander Productions, Inc., Terri and Timothy Childs in association with MGM On Stage-Darcie Denkert and Dean Stolber, the musical based on the Academy Award-winning film of the same name will play 12 weeks at the Princess of Wales Theatre in Toronto starting in October 2010 before moving to a Broadway house to be determined.

A Broadway opening of March 6, 2011, is listed on the casting notice. The producers have not officially publicly announced this plan. Changes in exact dates routinely occur between early casting notices and the actual production.

The musical is popular in Australia and London. It has a book by Stephan Elliott and Allan Scott, with direction by Simon Phillips. It was originally choreographed in Australia by Ross Coleman. Music supervisor is Stephen "Spud" Murphy. Casting is by Telsey + Company.

Priscilla Queen of the Desert tells "the story of a glamorous Sydney-based performing trio: Tick, Bernadette and Felicia. Traveling across Australia in a battered old bus (nicknamed Priscilla), the three agree to take their show to the middle of the outback. In a heart-warming, uplifting adventure, these three fish out of water, searching for love and friendship, end up finding more than they could ever have dreamed.

Priscilla features a dazzling array of spectacular and colorful costumes and a score of dance-floor classics, including: 'I Will Survive,' 'Don't Leave Me This Way,' 'Finally,' 'I Love The Nightlife,' 'Color My World' and 'Shake Your Groove Thing,' all brought to life by the big sound of the live Priscilla band."

Toronto producer David Mirvish first wanted the show to play Toronto in fall 2009, but the production was bumped several times.

To the Idols: A Realistic look at your career prospects

2009-10-03T19:52:00.007-04:00

Since boyfriend has literally dropped out circulation and there is no news good or bad to report, I thought you might be interested in reading this while we wait for Clay to do something stupid & worthy of comment...

Chris Sligh has gotten a lot of attention from his blog post of a couple weeks ago. This guy has his head screwed on straight.

To the Idols: A Realistic look at your career prospects

ETA: A lot of people have asked me why I wrote this blog. Honestly, I didn't realize that it was going to get as much interest as it already has by outsiders. I figured my blog readers would read it and I'd try to pass it on to the other top 10 Idols from this year through some of the guys I'd met from this season. The reason I wrote it is because I genuinely want for the Idols to read it, heed it and do well. Not everyone is trying for a career in the fashion I'm pointing out here...if the Idols want to do Broadway or acting or anything other than being a pop (inclusive of rock, r&b, etc) performer, this article/blog entry isn't for them....but if they are, this article has information I know to be invaluable. Some of it is info that I personally have not had to follow: when I moved to Nashville 8 days after tour ended, I had major management (for my genre) and a record deal basically in place (in the final negotiation stages). I also had a publishing deal in place (the company that got my Flatts' cut) and a booking agent picked out (and each of these cogs in the machine brought money to the table). I used my tour time to put all of these pieces in place. So, I haven't lived every single piece of it...and each situation is going to be different. But the basic premise involved with this article is true: if you work hard, you can and should be successful.

Secondly, this post aims at the top 10 members who have not been signed to 19E. We all know that those who have won or come in 2nd have failed, but they did have all the opportunities in the world coming off of Idol. My post is to the unsigned, lower ranking Idols.

On to the article...

So, American Idol Season 8 is officially finished. Last tour date done. People are moving home and for the next several years will try to move on. I believe that this season of Idol was one of the most talented, but if History repeats itself the majority of these Idols will do nothing in music and will be washes within 3 or 4 years. Not trying to be mean, just being real.

From my season of Idol, Jordin Sparks has an actual career. Blake probably should've but doesn't - though he does have a chance to connect in the dance world with his new music. ETA: I've been told that Melinda's first album was quite critically acclaimed and she is currently writing for her next record - sounds good. Lakisha just had a baby, but not much going on on the music front. Chris Richardson is writing a lot, but hasn't released more than a single so far. Phil has a chance to connect in the Christian market, but nothing is guaranteed. Sanjaya is...well, Sanjaya. Haley is in Texas doing something - not exactly sure if it involves music. Gina is putting together some new music, finally, 2 years later. And then there's me.

ETA: Someone brought up Jared Cotter (went home top 16 night my season) who had a big hit with Jay Sean called "Down". Props to him...my post was focusing on the top 10 of each season, but in reality, this success would put him to the top of our season - plus he has the hosting gig...Jared was one of those that was going to be successful no matter what - he got what Idol was and he got who he was.

If you look at Season 7, the odds are about the same. You've got Cook and Archuletta who are doing reasonably well. Then Castro who is signed to a major label. Michael Johns and Brooke have records out and have seen some chart success. Carly is now the frontwoman for Evanescence part 3.0. And the rest are trying to get something going.

So, how is it that the fat, not-so-great-looking guy who came in 10th place is the 2nd or 3rd most successful from his season and top 5 most successful over Season 6 & 7? The difference is pure drive and ambition and work ethic. I haven't had luck on my side. I haven't had a major label behind me yet (though that is about to happen). I haven't had 19E's help AT ALL. I have simply worked my tail off, been pro-active and worked on becoming better at my craft. Not that other people haven't worked...sure they've worked...but not on the right things in my estimation...and they've had an unrealistic view of what Idol can and will do for them.

Idol does not break new artists. It is a marketing machine for 19E to break their artists. They don't care about the ones who get away unless they make really really good (i.e., Jennifer Hudson and...well, that's it). It may sound cold, but the point of this is to rattle your brain and make you realize what is about to happen in your life.

So, my message to Season 8. You're not going to be successful. You're not going to be millionaires (with the exception of MAYBE Kris and Adam). You are going to struggle. No one will care about you. Those fans who've been asking for your autograph all tour long - 98% of them don't give a flying poo about you once next season of Idol starts. They're not going to buy your album when you put it out 2 years late. Chances are you'll never feel the rush of playing in front 10,000 people who care about you again. Your star is waning and remarkably quickly.

In other words, your days of being a star are over. But that's all right - so are mine. And I'm one of the most successful for my season of Idol. I'm not a star. Chances are I never again will be.

But here's what's awesome. I'm not a star. Few people know my name anymore. But I get to do music for a living. And I make a healthy living doing it. It's hard work. The late nights and early mornings sure do suck after a while. At 31 I wish I didn't have to travel in a van any more. But I did 137 shows last year. And that paid my bills and I even had some left over. And this year I'll do a few more shows than that. And that pays my bills with a little left over. And my writing career is helping me put money away. So...for those of us Idols who few care about any longer, there is hope.

Let me explain what needs to happen for you in the next few months.

First off: surround yourself with people who will be real with you. People who will tell you your music sucks, if it sucks. People who will tell you when you're being an idiot. People who will keep you grounded. But these same people also need to be the people whose shoulder you can cry on, who will encourage you when you do well and who will cheer for you. Your mom and dad are going to think everything you do is great, so they don't count. Get a manager who is someone who knows music and will challenge you when it's not quite good enough. Put together a team that loves you, cares for you...but will kick your butt when it needs to be kicked.

Secondly: Leave home and live WAY below your means. Move to a music city. L.A., New York or Nashville. Move there immediately. Don't wait for a record deal, because chances are you'll never have a record deal. Oh and when you move, get a crappy apartment that is cheap, cheap, cheap. You're not a rock star. You're a wanna be who happens to be more famous than most wanna bes are. Get a part time job with flexible hours that will help pay your bills...your tour savings will fly out of your bank account faster than you realize. $200k or whatever looks like a lot of money until you have to spend it. You need to finance your lifestyle and though a few gigs will pay big bucks most won't. So live WAY below your means. $200k now doesn't mean you will make remotely close to that next year.

Thirdly: Start booking yourself. CAA isn't going to book you. They don't care about you. Your deal with them is only because they have a deal with Idol. They care about the $100k gigs that Adam and Kris are getting right now. You're not going to get those. So, don't keep waiting for CAA to book you. They won't. Period. So, this is what you do: within the next 3 months pick 15 towns or cities within 5 hours of where you are and search the internet for their bar/music venues. Once you've found a couple in each town, pick up the phone and call them. Tell them who you are, tell them you're calling for yourself and that you want to play a show there in the next couple of months. Once you've put together a show in each of those 15 cities, you have yourself a tour. You won't make much money, so do it cheap...if you play an instrument go out solo. If you don't play, take out 1 player who can do what you want to do, and get him to work for cheap. Just so you have an idea, most of the time you should be able to get good players that will start with you for $100-150/show. You need merch to sell. You won't have music product yet - at least not new - so you need to have an array of GREAT t-shirts and gear. Cool designs that incorporate who you are as an artist. Don't get your mom to do the designs. Don't get your friends to make the t-shirts for cheap. Spend tour money on this stuff...it will pay back in spades. Cool gear = sales = people wearing your name on their chest = building a fan base. Once you've got shows booked and gear, get in a rental car and rock.

Fourthly: learn the freaking music business. Buy a book. Buy several books. Get Donald Passman's book All You Need to Know About the Music Business. Read it 3 times. Some of the info is dated, but it will genuinely help you understand why record labels are hurting and why you probably don't need a record label. Part of learning the music business is figuring out where you fit. I had mainstream major label deals offered, but studied and thought hard and figured out that the place I fit best in Christian music. For you it might be pop (though it should be understood that few artists - even major label artists - start off by jumping into the pop world...they usually start in smaller genre and work their way over to pop) or r&b...but study and figure out where your place is. If you're a white r&b dude, make sure there's a catch...there's already Robin Thicke... how is what you do different? We don't need another Robin Thicke or Justin Timberlake. If you try to be like them you'll always be considered simply a cheap American Idol rip off of said artists. And honestly that is the worst thing you can be - a cheap Idol take on something else.

Fifthly: once you've moved to a music town, find people to jam and write with. You may not be a writer now, but you have a voice and you need to be able to speak with your voice. What does that mean? find people who are better writers than you, write with them, even if it's a matter of you simply finding a melody that fits your voice...oh, and if they write the majority of the song, offer to give them more credit than just the normal 50%. People who know you'll take care of them will work hard to help you be better. At this point that is what you need more than anything else: people who will work hard to make you better.

Sixthly: Work, work, work, work, work. Period. You have to work. Nothing and I do mean nothing is going to be given to you. 19E is not going to come back around. They're done with you. The music business, for the most part, will treat you like an outsider. And they should. You are just a game show contestant who still needs to prove why you should be here. They don't know you've worked for years in clubs or worked as a songwriter or developed your piano skills amazingly - all they know is that you're a game show contestant who is more famous than them for doing nothing other than making it on a tv show. So, go out and prove to them why you belong by working harder than they do to be better.

Seventhly: Get into a studio and get music down asap. Even if it's just an EP. However, walk the wire of finding the balance between getting music out and shooting yourself in the foot. If you don't have the songs, don't record music just to have it. You will kill your career. But, on the other hand, you need to get music out asap. So...write good songs or find good songs quickly.

Eighthly: Be proactive. I've said it before, but it's important to get: nothing is going to be given to you. If you get a record deal now, you deserve it. Why? Because you will have had to work for it. You will have gotten it because you worked not because Idol worked. this is about you, now. You have the power to be successful. You are talented. You have a skill set that should be shared with the world. But you have to seize the reins of your career and do something with your skills.

ETA: I saw this somewhere else and knew my post was missing something -

Ninthly (and finally): Freaking love what you do. When you don't love this anymore, when the pain of travel and the hurt from non-success hurts more than the joy you feel when you rock people live, quit. Go get a "real job". Love what you do. Do what you love. Period.

What Will Clesus Do?

2009-09-14T20:42:00.003-04:00

It's no surprise "Kanye's" and "#teamtaylor" are among Twitter's top 10 trending topics early Monday morning (September 14) following Kanye West's outburst at the Video Music Awards, where he interrupted Taylor Swift's acceptance speech for Best Female Video to protest on behalf of Beyoncé.

In addition to the outcry of fan support for Swift, fellow celebrities continue to bolster the 19-year-old singer via Twitter and blog messages. The latest celebrity to come to Swift's defense is fellow VMA nominee Kelly Clarkson, who penned an open letter to West on her blog.

"Dear Kanye, what happened to you as a child??" Clarkson wrote. "Did you not get hugged enough?? Something must have happened to make you this way and I think we're all just curious as to what would make a grown man go on national television and make a talented artist, let alone teenager, feel like sh--. I mean, I've seen you do some pretty sh---y things, but you just keep amazing me with your tactless, a--hole ways. It's absolutely fascinating how much I don't like you. I like everyone. I even like my a--hole ex that cheated on me over you ... which is pretty odd since I don't even personally know you. The best part of this evening is that you weren't even up for THIS award and yet you still have a problem with the outcome. Is winning a Moonman that much of a life goal?? You can have mine if it will shut you up. Is it that important, really??

"I was actually nominated in the same category that Taylor won, and I was excited for her ... so why can't you be??" the letter continued. "I'm not even mad at you for being an a--hole ... I just pity you because you're a sad human being. On a side note, Beyoncé has always been a class act and proved again tonight that she still is. Go TEXAS!! Taylor Swift, you outsell him ... that's why he's bitter. You know I love your work! Keep it up girl!"

Immediately following the incident, celebrities like Katy Perry, Pink and Paramore's Haley Williams took to their Twitter accounts to express distaste for the stunt. Swift's close friend, country artist Kellie Pickler, tweeted, "Tator Tot, you handled yourself with Grace. Kanye, go grow some f-ing balls, bi---! don't mess w/my lil sis!!"

Mary-Kate Olsen took a more diplomatic approach, praising Beyoncé for giving Swift the chance to finish her speech. "I'm so glad Beyoncé gave Taylor her moment," Olsen tweeted. "She knows what's best!" "The Hills" star Spencer Pratt acknowledged that even he wouldn't pull a stunt like that. "Let's be very clear: King Spencer would never do anything like what Kanye just did to a sweet soul like Taylor!" Pratt tweeted.

So... Kelly let Kanye have it (deservedly). What will Clesus do? He seems to have no problem opening his mouth at inappropriate times. How about now, Clay? Do you have the balls to say anything? If so, bring it on!

Your thoughts...

Pure or Impure?

In celebration of Clay's new Twitter account I thought we'd take a stroll down memory lane and review some of the finer photographs of one Clayton Aiken.

I have no idea where or when most of them were taken, so it will be a hodgepodge of Clays glorious beauty with no timeline.

Please enjoy and remember, these pictures are of the hawtest, most handsome man in the world, and if you disagree, you're just a jelluz hater!!

PermaSwooned swooned in Tulsa 2007 over this shot.

I will never get tired of the "WTF are you thinking?" look the guy has over Clesus' shoulder.

From both Jaymes and my all time favorite Clay extravaganza, Sleigh Ride.

I hope the cast was being paid well enough to make the humiliation they had to be suffering as professionals worth it. The guy behind the shower cap girl looks only semi-conscious.

I love good photos of Clay and look forward to sharing more with you.

Q and A with CLAYTON!! Weeeeeeee!!

Yeah. I think the swelling probably hurt my ability to hit some higher notes at the time. But, I think the real issue now is that I haven't sung in a while. I went to karaoke the other night, just for fun, and I sounded like a dying mule

I was drunk and needed to stay near the toilet.

Ha ha.. No... truthfully, the shoot was for all of the top 12 Idols in my season and they were all taken at the same hotel in Hollywood. Some folks were on the roof; some were near the pool. I guess the photographer thought that's where I belonged! ;-)

A fun fact... that photographer was Eric Ogden. It was the first time I had met him, and I liked his shots so much that we used him to do the cover of the book, the Christmas album, and OMWH.

Dancing Banana Fed Up With Claymates

2009-08-13T12:11:00.008-04:00

The Claymates have spent the past six years spamming polls, trying to make their BF, Clay Aiken win every poll imaginable. Recently Romina Massa of the West Palm Beach Television Examiner, wrote an article about Clay signing with Decca Records. In the comments, the following was posted.
“Kim says:
To the person who says his fans are spamming the poll! People like you don't want to admit that he has lots and lots of fans and just because it shows positive feedback doesn't mean spamming. If this was a poll of Stings, perhaps, and it was positive would you say that all of Stings fans where spamming. Understand this guy has a fans and deal with it. “
August 12, 9:51 AM

Some chime in with a dose of reality.
“Alexandra says:
The Clay Aiken spammers are at it, as always! You BET they spam AND get the word out on the message boards to "Vote your fingers off," as one Claymate said on one of the boards. They give detailed instructions on the boards on how to vote multiple times, even when you're only supposed to vote once. (I lurk - the Claymates are so over-the-top, they're FUNNY - well, in a weird, demented way!) They also write favorable comments about him, several times, using different names, and some even use male names, to make it look like Aiken has more male fans than he does! Will I buy Aiken's new CD, if there is one, NEVER, NEVER, NEVER! You couldn't PAY me to buy or listen to ANYTHING Clay Aiken puts out! I can't believe he might be subjecting more people to his screeching, cracking voice. Oh, the humanity!!”
August 12, 5:26 PM

The Claymates chime in with the usual “this is what fans do”.
“Anne says:
Methinks that fans of ALL these guys are voting their fingers off, it'not just Clay Aiken fans, guys. That's what fans are for. To vote for and support the singer they like.”
August 12, 8:05 PM

One comment provides so called “proof” that Adam’s fans spam polls.
“Relly says:
HELP NEEDED WITH POLLS #1 & #8 (CLAY ON TOP OF ADAM) - ADAM'S STARLIGHTERS FORUM - COME HERE FOR ALL PLACES TO VOTE FOR ADAM

7,156 pleas for help on Adam's biggest board to vote on Polls including the examiner polls.

If that isn't a call to arms to spam polls, nothing is. I won't bother to look on Archie's site. I'm sure there is the same kind of thing there.

Its what fans do.

The truth is that the Claymates are the only ones that obsess over making their “boyfriend” #1 in everything. Yes, I am sure that other celebrities vote in polls but the Claymates hold the record for being OTT.
They are given daily instructions on the CB on what polls to spam plus how to do it.
The following posts are under the thread “votes and comments needed here” on the CB.

I was voting on this poll last night for about 25 mins. Got a pop up that said This poll is no longer active
David A. was ahead by a whole lot. I like him he seems like a nice kid.

I tried again this morning at 12:15 am Pacific Time and it said the same thing.

Is anyone else getting this pop up? I will try later on today to see if it works.

Got all my votes in this morning including the new one on buying the new album

One Claymate provides the link that proves Adam Lambert’s fans are spamming. Read and judge for yourself whether or not Adam’s fans are as OTT as the Claymates.
http://idolforums.com/index.php?showtopic=622325

Truth is, polls are important to NOBODY. They don’t sell records, nor do they provide any kind of increased celebrity status. They are done purely for the self satisfaction of the FANS.

The Claymates take everything they do to a whole new level. If there is any kind of press for Clay, they attack if the article is not positive. If someone comments in a negative way about Clay, they attack the poster. They also post their BS about how BIG Clay is and now he takes singing to a whole new level. The only level Clay takes his singing, these days, is no doubt when he hollers during one of his “manly” encounters or wails if he is touched by any female.

The Claymates have a “group think” and if the rest of the world doesn’t see Clay thru the rose colored glasses like they do, they are called “haters”. Truth is, the Claymates need to get a life and STFU. Not everyone is still fooled by Clay's fake image and fortunately A LOT of fans have wised up, moved on and only a few of the most demented Claymates remain to carry out Clay’s orders “KICK BUTT”.

Thank You to D for an awesome blog and to Anonymous for the hanging banana! You both RAWK!

Christmas in August!

2009-08-02T17:34:00.004-04:00

Finally some excitement in Clayland. Word has it, from the CB, my home board, that MCWL - claymatespeak for Merry Christmas with Love will be re-released on August 18, 2009.
One claymate is confused as MCWL is already available on Amazon for $8.98 but the new one, the 2009 version is only $6.98. Well, damn, that doesnt make sense to me either, but what do I know?
Clayscience, thank goodness clears things up:

A few weeks ago, I noticed that the original release MCWL was only available for shipping within a few weeks on Amazon.

This Aug 18, 2009 release is listed as a "Sony special product". I think that means it's a reprint. ETA: It has the same track listing.

Another claymate is thrilled with the news

This is fantastic. MCWL was the biggest selling Xmas 'album' in more than 30 years. Hopefully this will get Clay back in all his glory to the masses!! Now..hopefully the radio stations will put some of this music on regular rotation with all the other Xmas music starting around Halloween!!!! (Yep, the Xmas season is coming earlier and earlier!!--All the better to spend your money at the store on Xmas items!!!)

Looks like 4 comments in 4 hours re: the news. Is this any indication of the general interest in this re-release? If the Claymates don't care, ya think regular people will?

Shout Out to Chexxxy!

One of our favorite insane Claymates, the infamous Chexxxy has opened her board to the public.

There is only 1 thread visible: Open Discussion. The "Wall of Shame" and the rest of her loony board is apparently hidden to everyone but the TRUE Fans she trusts.

If you're bored on this lazy Summer afternoon, head over to Chexxxys Place. There are oodles of barf worthy photos of Clay and a whole lot of thuddin' going on. Best of all you dont have to register to read. Enjoy!

Liar Liar. What is Clay Faiken really allergic to?

2009-06-06T13:38:00.004-04:00

This is the fan report from the dinner in Atlanta with the fan who shelled out $35000. for the "privilege" of having dinner with Clay Aiken.

First off, I am not a big drinker, but how come none of these women order cocktails? Is it in the fine print that they can't?

"We each ordered from the menu and Clay had crab cakes. Something was said about shellfish, and he said that his doctor told him to try eating a little now and then. He said he has been fine with it. He jokingly asked Jerome if he had the epi-pen and Jerome said no."

What is it with Clay and this allergy shit? How many things is he supposed to be allergic to and how many of these things has he been seen eating?

I have had anaphylaxis twice and BELIEVE ME, it is not something you want to go through. I have 3 Epi-Pens so there is no time that I am without them. One in my bag, one in my house, one in my car.

I'm wondering if this jerk off is allergic to ANYTHING since he is so cavalier about HIS supposed allergies. Eats a possibly dangerous food without access to an epi-pen.

I'm thinking these "allergies" are just something else Clay exaggerated or made up to garner more sympathy from the mats.

I was wondering if anyone here recalls all of his supposed allergies and if he's been seen eating them.

The picture above is not about allergies, but Clay said how much he hated Mexican food and is seen in the pic with a "Baja Fresh" bag. Wonder what was in there? A hot dog?

It's the lies. It's just all the lies. And about the allergies, please post what you know. Thanks!

Clay Aiken: Mr. Big Face

2009-06-05T12:06:00.003-04:00

Who do you think you are?? (anyone want to sing along?)

So this is it, now, isn't it? This is how he's going to look.

I don't know what he did with his jaw, but anytime I've heard of a jaw being broken, it is usually followed by being wired shut for a while. (The thought of Clay's jaws being wired shut makes me feel warm inside).

His face is huge. His eyes now look tiny and rat-like and he looks like a guy well into his 40's.

Clay, what have you done?? At least I get to laugh at it. Thank you.

Clay Aiken Switches To a "NIPI."Hope His Cloobies Don't Take Offense!

2009-06-03T20:56:00.005-04:00

"Mr. Aiken has to sign the forms as an officer or someone else has to. The board has to review and approve by board vote. Guidestar and BBB always seems to trash BAF cuz they refuse to report their operations. Their is a subtantial audit on going and a negative first report was issued to BAF with the follow up one with certain demands being made placed upon it by the IRS which is surely what has prompted this name change at this time of year (May 15 is the date non profits have to file their returns witht he IRS so there is NO coincidence as to the date of the name change filing....you can run but you cannot hide.)

Choosing to use the word PROJECT in the name suggests a temporary basis since of course projects do come to an end. The selection of this name is so presumptous as there are many well established organizations that have been creating and implementing inclusion projects nationally for decades.

Faiken is clearly trying to capture the work and reputation of these other organizations and position the failed BAF as if it were a national leader. Diane has wanted OUT for quite a while and she has demanded the change be put on the front burner. The board of directors of BAF is laughable and clearly doesn't support the extablshiment of any bona fides for this "new" entity. It is clearly a bait and switch so corporations will be hoodwinked into giving funds to it since theyhave balked LOUDLY at giving funds to anything associated with the Faiken.

The federal government grant was mis-used as was the State Farm money. Some members of the appropriations committee asked for an inquiry and the ball has been rolling. BAF thinks it can bank these funds and use the interest to pay salaries and use the money when the contributions dry up. They produced a KMart project when they should have produced a Mercedes.

Yeah...change the name quickly while you can. Too bad Faiken can't change his own name.

Thanks to the anonymous poster who contributed the above text.
And GREAT thanks to Pugmill for the hilarious logo! LOL

What Do YOU Think Was Clay's Worst Moment Ever ....so far!

2009-05-29T14:28:00.002-04:00

There have been so many self inflicted bad moments for Clay Aiken. It's time for YOU to sound off!

What do YOU think Clay's worst moments have been?

If we get a consensus, maybe we'll actually have a winner! (don't say the word "winner" around Clay.....he's a wannabe)

Clay Aiken Adds Insult to Injury

2009-05-22T21:57:00.006-04:00

Mr. Clay Faiken caught himself in a foot-in-mouth incident and realizing the negative "attention" it brought him he decided to write a second blog and apologize for his prior stupidly asinine comments, but did he really? Let's see:

05/22/09 0 Comments
Who knew I had so much influence and that my words and opinion mattered so much to so many people!?!?! HA HA HA I'll be the first to admit that my opinion is just that, only my opinion, but for as much as some of the bloggers seem to dislike me and care so little about my thoughts, they sure can waste a lot of their space on what I say! If only many of them took the time to pay attention to important things like the US economy and the welfare of the world's children (which you obviously failed to pay attention to it as well by choosing to trash an artist and the show who made you) . But... nah... I could blog about that type of stuff anytime and most wouldn't think twice, but let me say something that they can pick and choose quotes and misinterpret me... (misinterpret? really?) and it's showtime! I never assumed my opinion mattered so much! (it really doesn't Faiken, it's just that like you, your opinion is bitter and riddled with jealousy).
That said, since my previous blog got dissected like a biology lab frog, i suppose I should clarify and even retract some of what I wrote (I believe it's called backpedaling Faiken).

I am sure that some were upset by my choice of words describing my opinion of a performance I heard from Adam Lambert. I hope no one actually believed that blood truly poured forth from my ears when I heard him (do you REALLY believe people are THAT stupid?). I obviously meant it as a colorful statement to imply that I did not enjoy what I heard (so, to make your point across you CHOSE a statement that it's meant to be demeaning? Oh, I see...). Any performer hopes that their music will appeal to all people, but no singer realistically expects it to. God knows, I am SURE there are PLENTY of people who can't stand to hear me sing either (Boy, you can say that again). I wouldn't dream of assuming that, and I am sure that far worse things have been said about my performances than I would even venture to type here (tee hee, you got that right). To me, that's fine. I don't expect unanimous, nor even majority support for my music. But, my guess is Adam doesn't either. I would not venture to make judgements on the personality or demeanor of anyone I don't know, so none of what I said in my previous blog was directed as a "slam" on Adam as a person (DAYUM! you could've fooled me!). At the same time, I wouldn't dream of slamming him as an entertainer. He does what he does, because he enjoys it, and he obviously has many fans who enjoy it as well. If what i said in my previous blog regarding my impression of a single performance from Adam upset or offended any of his fans, I expect that the mature ones will realize that it was simply a poorly worded metaphor describing my personal tastes.(WHOA! now Adam's fans are inmature for taking your comments for what they are, INSULTS? WTG Faiken!) The only person I would really dream of apologizing to is Adam. And the irony is, if he's smart (OH! now ADAM is not smart if he also takes offense for your comments? WOW!) he couldn't give a crap what I think of his Ring of Fire performance. As an entertainer, Adam knows that one person's opinion of one performance really matters a little less than zero, in the grand scheme of things. He could not have gotten on Idol (nor made it as far as he did) without an immense amount of talent. He surely doesn't need my approval to know he has a gift. At the same time, he realizes that amazing talent doesn't always equal universal appeal. I could NEVER have the amount of skill and talent that ballet dancers have! that's talent! But, I don't particularly enjoy it!) (Just because it didn't work for you it means Adam is the same. You my friend are NO Adam Lambert in talent) I am sure that I will have plenty of opportunities in the coming years to hear Adam sing. I imagine he'll be around for years to come (unlike you). But in the meantime, I definitely don't want to stoop to the level of so many negative freaks on the internet... so, I do apologize to Adam for my colorful (and negative) choice of words. (Some apology this is)I hope he can forgive me. I imagine he doesn't give a damn! God knows he shouldn't.
-------------------------------------------------- ------------------------------
Now, for those of you who are able to comment on this.... lets take bets as to which bits and pieces of this blog will end up mass distributed. Be creative.... they don't seem to care about punctuation or whether or not they use all of the words in a sentence... so, have fun.... (There you go biddies. He just gave you the order to send his "apology" out to the internet because he's too coward to apologize personally. Go on and as good Claymates you are, do his bidding, like in good ol'times). Oh, and Faiken, you can STILL forget about that duet with Adam, LOL!!!

Asshole Clay Aiken's Blatherings On The Finale

2009-05-21T19:25:00.003-04:00

Claymate: You said a while ago that you aren't a big fan of IDOL anymore....because it isn't about the unknown person next door kind of contest. Tonight, it is a dead heat between a seasoned performer, Adam Lambert, and the boy next door, Kris Allen. If Kris Allen wins IDOL this year, will your faith in the show have been restored??? Thanks

Clay: Now that it's all over, and for the record.... I couldn't be happier about the way AI ended this year. I only turn the show on once a season, and only to see what the set looks like each year. This year, I happened to turn it during the minute that Adam Lambert was singing "Ring of Fire" and, at that moment, thought my ears would bleed. Contrived, awful, and slightly frightening! I wasn't really a fan and found myself surprised whenever folks told me that they liked him. Granted, I never saw another performance (and many folks who I trust said that he was great) but I can't imagine I would have enjoyed it. Just not my cup of tea at all. To each his own. I never saw Kris sing on the show, but whether he was good or not is really relative. It's usually a matter of taste, right? But Idol is not always a matter of musical taste only. It's about the person you like. From what little I saw, Kris seemed likable. (That's not to say that Adam isn't just as likable as anyone.. maybe more so... I don't know) When Ruben and I were standing next to each other every night (many years ago) you had two equally talented, equally unlikely, equally unpolished contestants.... so it really was a matter of taste as to who was voted for. While some may argue that one of us was hyped more than the other, I don't feel that was the case. However, this year, there was an obvious bias. Not even having watched the show, I can tell you that I was WELL aware of the bias from the judges as to who should win. In my opinion, that is awfully unattractive. I don't think I am alone

In my opinion, it all often comes down to that last night of voting. Until the finale, folks are voting for the contestant that they want to see continue. But, I believe that on that last night, the dynamic changes. No longer forced to choose one person that they want to see win, the audience can effectively vote AGAINST the person that they don't want to see win. In the case of season two this might have happened. There may have been some folks who voted for myself or Ruben because they didn't like the other of us. I was the nerdy little girly boy who some didn't want to see win, so they may have voted for Ruben. I don't know. .. But again, I feel that Ruben and I were fairly matched. We both had our detractors and negatives, but I feel we were both very worthy of being on that stage in that moment, and either of us would have been worthy of winning. The show was different then, and folks made it in seasons 1-3 because they were "real" people who happened to sing/entertain well. But, somewhere along the way, AI stopped being about real people

In a battle between David and Goliath, my money is on David!

I think many voters got sick of being "told who to vote for". I think many were turned off by the blatant favoritism shown towards one contestant. Therefore, on that last night, they used their votes against a contestant that they were tired of hearing about and for the contestant who had been written off. And, at the same time, I think they voted AGAINST an American Idol that has, for four years now, been more about the slick productions and polished contestants than it has been about finding the raw talent that it did in its first three seasons.

Those votes for Kris were also votes to return the show to its roots of finding "real" contestants with undiscovered talent and giving them the chance to grow and shine. They were votes that said "we're tired of seeing contestants who already seem to know it all".

Will American Idol choose to listen to the resounding and clarion call that those voters gave them?.... "Enough with the pretention. More Rubens, more Clays, more Fantasias and Tamyras and Kellys please." My faith has always been in the voters. I think they have gotten it right every year (mine included). It's now up to American Idol to decide if it will finally REALLY listen to the folks that keep it on the air. "

thanks to the person who posted the above.

Good luck to both!

Danny Gokey in the Finals? I Hope He Has to Keep Dreaming On.

David Foster & Friends (and Faiken)

2009-05-10T15:39:00.010-04:00

What a great, night! Clay got to show up all the lesser stars with a show stopping Peter Cetera medley and then lead them in the group number finale, David's America. Clay was suppose to come back for Unchained Melody, but ended up not doing it onstage, he did it at the after show party instead.

David's jealousy no doubt got the better of him and thats why he nixed UM at the last moment. Jellez HATER!!1!!1!

A good time was had by all.

thanks Anonymous for reading Faiken's mind so well :-)

Brought this over from the last blog because I find it fun to look at. Clay 2008 vs. Clay 2009.

If someone feels they will be happier and feel better about themselves with some cosmetic surgery, go for it. Whatever floats your boat.

But Clay, why did you have to announce you had TMJ surgery? Nobody in their right mind believes that your popping, aching jaw required an entirely new jawline and chin built. And if you did have TMJ surgery Clay, why didn't you tell your adoring fans that while you were under the knife you were going to have a little cosmetic work done? "Cant wait for y'all to see the end results, hope you'll be happy with it as much as I will be."

Privacy? If it's not their business about a cosmetic procedure, it's not their business either you had the TMJ surgery, right Clay?

Why dont you just be 100% honest for a change and do your best to be Clay Aiken and not Clay Faiken?

Clay Aiken With Unsightly Cold Sore

2009-04-26T15:27:00.007-04:00

First let's start with an exact quote of Clay Aiken's

Here's Clay's exact quote:

"L.A. is such a lonely city, the most desperate city in the world. Everybody here is concerned with the wrong things, with their outsides. People are so concerned with their outsides, and everybody else's outsides, that their insides rot."

Clay Aiken seen here in LA exiting a salon.
Wonder what he had done in the salon?

It would seem he's done quite a lot already. Ears pinned, lipo under the chin and on the cloobies, veneers for the teeth and chin, jaw and cheek implants.

This guy is just 30!!

Guess now after all the changes he's made to himself , he fits right in with those people he once described as having "rotting insides".

But, it just goes to show you. You can change damn near your whole face and God will still throw a cold sore on you (click to enlarge picture) and you'll still be just.....YUCK.

Since we at the FS try to be helpful, in case Clay wasn't aware of the treatment for those unsightly buggers (and no, I don't get them, but I have close friends who do) we'd let him know.

Clay Aiken's FEC speech. No mention of Jaymes?

2009-04-22T12:14:00.002-04:00

Last night Clay was honored by the FEC. What I found interesting was that there was no "thank you" to Jaymes for providing Clay with Parker. No mention of Jaymes at all.

I mean, family diversity being honored? What's more diverse than a senior citizen having a baby with a gay man? ;)

Still No Work For Clay Aiken? How 'bout This??

2009-04-20T22:55:00.004-04:00

Seems like there are not many prospects for Clay Aiken's career at ALL!

I mean, you KNOW shits bad when your own MOM says so.

So maybe Clay could be a spokesperson for a product he is likely well aquainted with!

Here's what Mama Faye had to say:

"She admits that Clay has nothing going on right now and has some things "in negotiations", "maybe another Broadway" show. That they are "trying to come up with some things"

It doesn't sound promising for a new record label, CD or tour, or anything else career-wise.

What Is Clay Aiken Doing Now That His Career Is At A Standstill?

2009-04-19T15:26:00.004-04:00

I heard he tried to get in with these guys, but they said he was too gay and fired him.

Clay, Clay, Clay. Sucks to be out of work like so many others these days!

Have a FABULOUS Easter!

2009-04-11T22:06:00.003-04:00

Here's hoping that all of our friends here at Fraud Squad have a beautiful Easter filled with love and happiness!

Simon Cowell Gives Adam Lambert a Standing Ovation

2009-04-08T10:57:00.004-04:00

Nothing happening with Clay Aiken, so let's talk about someone with talent. Adam Lambert brought the house down last night with his performance of "Mad World". In addition to bringing the house down, he brought Simon Cowell and the rest of the judges to their feet. This was the first time Cowell was moved enough to get on his feet for a contestant. Good job, Adam!

American Idol, Top 8: Simon gives Adam Lambert a standing O

by Alan Sepinwall/The Star-Ledger
Tuesday April 07, 2009, 9:43 PM

Simon Cowell liked Adam Lambert's "American Idol" performance so night, he got to his feet to applaud.

I ordinarily top off these "American Idol" reviews with a picture of one of the performances, but the image of the night was Simon Cowell up on his feet, giving a standing ovation for the first time in a long time, if ever. (Can anyone remember him doing that before?) Thoughts about what Adam did to absolutely deserve that, and all the other performances, coming up just as soon as I apologize for my bad attitude last week...

Danny Gokey, "Stand By Me": How you feel about this performance depends largely on how you feel about contestants cheating the theme. Yes, Mickey Gilley recorded a cover of the Ben E. King classic in 1980, but Danny wasn't really using the Gilley arrangement (which you can hear here). He wasn't doing the King version, either, though, and I did like his gruff R&B take on the song in that usual Danny Gokey way. But the purist in me dings him for not picking an actual 1980 song.

Kris Allen then does a Seacrest-erview where he tells a story about some Ferris Wheel operator trying to use him to hit on Adam Lambert, and Seacrest doesn't even raise an eyebrow. Is it possible that "Idol" might be moving past its sniggering attitude towards being gay? Nah...

Kris Allen, "All She Wants to Do Is Dance": Well, it's a night for different arrangements, and while I think Randy is a moron (as always) for complaining that he was paying attention to the song and not the singer, I do agree with Kara that it was just a bad arrangement, surprisingly lifeless in spite of the tempo and the presence of those big horns.

Afterwards, Simon gets in the line of the night, as a girl in the audience screams out, "Kris, you're hot!" and Simon replies, "But so am I, but it's not about that." Whether Kris is in the bottom three this week will prove a nice test of that theory.

Lil Rounds, "What's Love Got To Do With It": This will be the first of two Throwing Things links in this post, as they nailed this as the obvious pick for Lil. Unfortunately, it was too obvious, in that it exposed her as an imitator -- and not a very good one this week -- rather than an artist. Say what you will about all the other arrangements tonights, some of which worked, some of which didn't, but at least all the other contestants were trying to inject their own personalities into the songs. This was just copycat, minus Tina Turner's phrasing and charisma. Bad, bad, bad.

Anoop Desai, "True Colors": After a patented Damage Control Seacresterview, in which Anoop apologizes profusely for being snotty to Kara last week, Anoop goes with a song choice that's all about saying, "That jerk last week isn't who I am; these are my true colors!" After Adam, Anoop probably has the best pure singing voice of anyone else who's left, and while the arrangement got a little dull in the middle, the falsetto was great, and he sang it with the same passion he brought to his great "Always On My Mind" performance on Country Night. Now if Anoop can just find a way to do an uptempo number without ticking off the judges, all will be right with the "Idol" world.

Scott MacIntyre, "The Search Is Over": You may have missed the most self-aware line on the show in a long time, since the band started playing over it, but just before Ryan came over to give Scott's numbers, he said, "At least I'm versatile. I wanted to show that before I went home." I'll give Scott credit for that: he knows where he is in the pecking order, knows he's on borrowed time at best, and is now just trying to catch the eye of some adult contemporary record label out there. Given that, I'm not going to bother pointing out all the things wrong with this performance. If he somehow survives to next week, I'll pile on him again, but I liked that moment.

Allison Iraheta, "I Can't Make You Love Me": As our only contestant born in the '90s, Allison made a fairly disappointing song choice. I love the song, but we've heard it a bunch of times on "Idol," and 1992 had so many other possibilities for her (see the Throwing Things link above for their suggestions). While she started off the performance fairly understated -- for Allison, anyway -- when she hit the chorus she started doing the stupid runs and other vocal gymnastics that please Randy but are completely unnecessary for such a beautiful song. Just sing the notes correctly and it'll sound great! Geez!

Matt Giraud, "Part-Time Lover": I'm going to reproduce my notes verbatim (with the profanity altered for family consumption):

Interesting arrangement... I kinda like how he sounds on it.. SING THE (BLEEPING) SONG! OH MY GOD, THERE IS ONE NOTE THERE! SING THAT NOTE! NOT THE 12 SECRET HIDDEN NOTES YOU BELIEVE ARE WITHIN IT! STOP THAT! RIGHT NOW! SING! THE! SONG!

Predictably, Randy loved it. Kara, too. (I am so done with her.)

Adam Lambert, "Mad World": You want to know why I got so irked at the previous two for not just singing the damn notes? This is why. Adam sings the song, doesn't resort to meliasma, is remarkably understated (as understated as you can be while singing in a falsetto under a neon green spotlight, anyway) and sounds amazing.

Was it the best performance in "Idol" history? Probably not, no. But I think what Simon was responding to when he got to his feet there was the way that Adam has so clearly distanced himself from everybody else this season. There are a number of very good singers left, but he can sing rings around them and he's a hundred times the showman any of them hope to be on their best day. He can be annoying at times, and I can certainly see scenarios where he doesn't win (either because people dislike him, or because he gets cocky and starts doing self-indulgent stuff like that "Ring Of Fire" again), but if there's a reason I'm watching "Idol" for the rest of the season beyond professional obligations, it's because I can't wait to see whatever it is Adam Lambert's going to do next.

Best of the night: Adam. No doubt. I may need to start doing a running feature on whoever the second best of the night was. (Here, probably Anoop, since I'm docking Danny points for the theme-cheating.) And while we're talking about Adam, you really, really, absolutely must go and watch The Adam Lambert Roundtable. It's one of the funniest things you'll see all week.

In danger: Scott, definitely. Lil, probably. If Kris isn't in the bottom three, it's a testament to the power of the pretty. I could see Anoop there, as he has some factors working against him (good but not brilliant, performed in the middle of the show, plus whatever residual bad feelings there are from last week), or Allison, if Simon's right that people just don't like her very much and are only voting for her when she's great -- which she wasn't here.

What did everybody else think?

Clay Aiken - Life of Luxury

2009-04-06T18:14:00.003-04:00

Aiken's recording contract with RCA has ended, and he said he's considering other labels, while also looking at stage and television offers.

"All three look enticing, and I'm in the luxurious position of letting them sit down and come to me," he said. "

Clay Aiken To Be Honored By FEC. For WHAT???

2009-03-31T15:20:00.003-04:00

Night at the Tavern, Family Equality Council’s annual New York City event will be held Tuesday, April 21, 2009 at Tavern on the Green in New York City. The event brings together LGBT parents, friends and allies to celebrate the progress we have made as a community of loving families towards full equality. In 2009, Night at the Tavern will feature a cocktail reception, a full-course seated dinner, live entertainment, a silent auction and the opportunity to mingle with old friends and meet new ones. At the event they will be honoring Platinum Recording Artist Clay Aiken and Director of Center Kids at the LGBT Center in New York Terry Boggis and will have a special guest performance by Linda Eder.

http://www.lambdafamilycircle.org/2009/03/family-equality-council-event-night-at-the-tavern-2009/

Why???? What has Clay Aiken done to merit being honored by the FEC?

Has he appeared at AIDS fundraising events or even donated, himself?

Has he ever talked a suicidal young man or woman out of taking their lives on a hotline because they couldn't bear the "stigma" of being gay?

Just last year, didn't he give a performance at a church that was notorious for their staunch ani-gay views?

Is he a good example for promoting safe sex and disease prevention considering he engages in unsafe sex with strangers he meets online?

Did he ever interview with a gay publication? Even straight people do that. Clay deliberately avoided them.

He is not a responsible advocate for ANYTHING. Even when on the Presidential Committee for the disabled he only did what suited Clay. Otherwise the Committee was good PR, but seemed to be nothing but an annoyance for Clay Aiken.

WHAT has Clay Aiken done to merit an FEC award EXCEPT to come out in "People Magazine" while also exploiting his newborn son. He did so while his career was at a low point. And he was paid handsomely to do so.

For so many years, Clay denied, denied, denied. Maybe, just maybe, if he had been honest and not sounded so outright negative about homosexuality, he could have reached some people in need. But that would not have benefitted Clay at the time.

Again, he is being honored for WHAT???

Mutiny on the Clayboard! Hurry and READ before it's gone!

Ruben Studdard, WINNER of AI2 on TONIGHT!

2009-03-26T19:51:00.004-04:00

Who goes home tonight? I'm thinking Megan or Michael.

But even more exciting than the elimination will be seeing Ruben Studdard performing tonight.

That was so cool back in AI2. When he kicked Clay Aiken's ass.

Ahhhh, memories!

Clay Aiken: Face Off

No Clay Aiken News, So Let's Laugh At AI Moments Past

2009-03-20T19:42:00.002-04:00

This was classic. Scott's reaction. Paula's reaction. Constantine's reaction.

I hope maybe this season will provide an elimination like this.

I still laugh when I see it and I hope some of you will, too! :)

Since Nothing's Happening With Clay Aiken, Is Anyone Else Smelling Possible Fraud Around Danny Gokey?

2009-03-19T15:12:00.006-04:00

Nice pelvic thrust there, grieving widower.

When I first saw Danny Gokey during the auditions, I liked him and felt for his loss.

As time has passed and information has emerged, I now just have an "ewwww, creepy!" feeling about him.

There have been other performers I haven't liked or thought were assholes, but only ONE other has given me that "ewwww, creepy!" feeling and that was Clay Aiken.

Feel free to disagree or agree, but let's talk!

American Idol is BACK! But no sign of Clay Aiken!

2009-03-11T18:36:00.003-04:00

American Idol is back and there will be lots of guest performers this season.

But don't look for Clay Aiken.

He'll be throwin' down the girl talk with Tyra Banks as a guest judge on "America's Top Model".

You know, since Clay knows so much about fashion and all that. (think grungy khaki shorts and sandals and bow ties).

Jason Mesnick - Asshole

2009-03-03T12:20:00.003-05:00

Please excuse this self indulgent blog. I know we have some "The Bachelor" watchers among us, and since this is a place where we talk about jerks and assholes, todays honor goes to Jason. Melissa told him "you're such a bastard". I would have said a whole lot more

Please continue to talk about asshole Clay Aiken AND asshole Jason if you wish, but Jason earned the "asshole" title last night. Big time. Wonder what tonight's "Bachelor" will bring.

Claymates In Mourning For Clay Aiken Being Dropped From RCA

2009-02-20T22:54:00.004-05:00

Claymates in Mourning!

Aiken Splits With Label

It's a dark day for the Claynation. Or, at least, what's left of it.

Clay Aiken has joined the fallen ranks of American Idol alum and parted ways with his longtime record label, RCA.

According to Billboard, the split happened a couple months ago following dismal sales of last year's On My Way Here, which was released just weeks prior to Aiken announcing he was out and spawning.

The album, Aiken's fourth, sold 159,000 copies—a fraction of the 2.78 million for his 2003 Measure of a Man.

Reps for both Aiken and RCA have declined to comment on the separation.

The 31-year-old father joins a host of Idol alum to be dropped after failing to live up to chart expectations: Katharine McPhee, Blake Lewis, Bo Bice, Justin Guarini, Ruben Studdard and Taylor Hicks have all cut ties with their original labels.

But don't feel too sorry for Aiken. He's already got his next gig lined up and is returning from whence he came—namely, reality television. He's set to appear as a guest judge on the April 8 episode of America's Next Top Model.

Clay Aiken DUMPED by RCA

2009-02-19T19:03:00.003-05:00

Since Clay Aiken was DUMPED by RCA, I thought I'd post this picture of him looking like he just climbed out of a dumpster!

"Has Clay Aiken been dumped by his record company? According to fadedyouthblog.com, Aiken has mysteriously disappeared from RCA's website and all of his press info seems to be deleted.

Hmm...

If RCA did dump Clay, it wouldn't be the first time an Idol runner-up has gotten the boot from the company. It also dropped Blake Lewis and Katharine McPhee.

Aiken has released 5 albums, which have sold millions of copies, but it's no secret that his sales have slipped.

The big question: Why?

Last year, Aiken dropped two bombshells on his core group of fans called the "Claymates." First, he had a son with a longtime friend (a much older woman) and then revealed he was gay.

Many wondered how would the "Claymates" feel? Would "Gay Clay" play in Peoria?

At the time, Aiken told People Magazine, "Whether it be having a child out of wedlock, or whether it be simply being a homosexual, it's going to be a lot," he said regarding the reactions of his fans. Still, he says his fans "know that I've never intended to lie to anybody at all.... But if they leave, I don't want them to leave hating me."

Roger Neal used to rep Donny Osmond, Lee Greenwood, the Gatlin Brothersand Kenny Rogers. He now owns Neal Public Relations and today he spoke exclusively with RadarOnline.com about reports RCA dropped Aiken.

Neal says the minute Aiken came out he thought: "Who is the idiot advising him? He just killed his career.

His image was squeaky clean and all American. When an artist who appeals to young people comes out the parents don't always support them. Know your fan base.

There is speculation about a number of celebrities. The older stars get it. They keep certain things private and keep their career."

We have calls into reps for both Aiken and RCA for comment."

Jaws! Clay Aiken Blogs. Just in time for OFC Renewals

2009-02-12T19:56:00.004-05:00

click on photo to enlarge..you really need to see this one!

"2/12/09 OUCH!!

For weeks I have been intending to log on here and just write "Hey, I'm brushing my teeth". Not because I would have been brushing my teeth, but because no fewer that four people have said to me over the past several weeks, "Blog SOMETHING! Even if you just tell us you're brushing your teeth!" But every time I plan on doing it, I forget. Guess I am getting old! The irony is that today, I can't really brush my teeth. My jaw is too sore. Some of you have no doubt seen me pop my jaw somewhere. I mean, you notice things about me that I don't even notice, so I'm sure you've seen me do that. Well, in a preventative measure that will hopefully keep my jaw from falling off because of the TMJ problem, last week I had a little "procedure" that will hopefully fix it. Not a really big deal actually, but I'm all swollen and sore now... STILL! And I'm tired of it! I imagine it will be better soon, but I'll tell you, it's felt like I've been swollen for over a month now even though it hasn't quite been two weeks. Arrggghhh. When I am less medicated I'll try to come back on here and tell you about some of the things we are working on for 2009. But, for now, I just thought I'd say "hello".

Miss ya'll already. Hope to see you soon!

Are Clay Aiken and Jaymes Foster Pregnant Again?

2009-02-03T12:58:00.000-05:00

The above picture is totally unrelated, but it needed to be posted!

There hasn't been an announcement, but there is lots of buzz on the web.

American Idol alum Clay Aiken is pregnant again - or rather his BFF Jaymes Foster is!

Aiken and music producer Foster, wanted to give their 4-month-old son Parker a sibling ASAP and Clay has made his contribution.

Clay said of his son, "I'm trying my best to be the one who doesn't always let him get what he wants, but he owns us."

Baby Aiken # 2 is due in August 2009. Clay also has a new boyfriend - looks like 2009 is shaping up to be a good one for the singer!

Clay Aiken : He (???) Feels Pretty! - ( Part 3)

2009-01-16T15:29:00.005-05:00

Morningstar with her 20/20 vision pointed out: "I hate to say it but I think it's the best he's looked in ages. The hairstyle is very becoming and for once he's not wearing eyeliner and lipstick.

I'm not one for waldo-watching but there is a noticeable bulge resting on the guy in the blue shirt's bicep. Actually, I think the guy is teasing the waldo with his elbow."

Clay Aiken : He (???) Feels Pretty!

2009-01-05T19:39:00.012-05:00

(Let's all sing along with Clay!)

Clay feels pretty
Yet looks shitty
Like a sex change that somehow went bad.
It's a pity
That Parker now has two moms and no dad.

He's wearing lipstick
And if you think that's sick?
There's a d*** in that girl's underwear!
Does he use it or pretend that it just isn't there?

When the mats views these pictures here,
What do those dumb women see?
They see a pretty face
They see pretty eyes
They see a pretty smile
(Clearly those old bats can't see!)

Now that Clay's a tranny
Reed feels he's having sex with his granny
And you know that that cannot feel right.
So he'll dump him since only mats
Could love a claymaphrodite.

Oh so charming
It's alarming how charming I feel
And so pretty
That I hardly can believe I'm real
See the pretty girl in that mirror there?
Who can that attractive girl be?
Such a pretty face
Such a pretty dress
Such a pretty smile
Such a pretty me!
I feel stunning
And entrancing
Feel like running
And dancing for joy
For I'm loved
By a pretty wonderful boy"

Faiken, New Year’s Eve 2008

Maybe it's much too early in the game
To have a new baby with Broom-- oh, I meant to say “Jaymes.”
What is she doing New Year’s...New Year’s Eve?

Wonder how it feels when her legs are straddled up
As she waits on the table and I have sex with a Dixie cup?
That’s what she’ll be doing New Year’s...New Year’s Eve.

Faiken, New Year’s Eve 2009

My career’s in the crapper, but my homelife is fine
With Little Parker and his sister, born nine-nine-oh-nine.
They will be with me New Year’s...New Year’s Eve.

Still, I haven’t been on Manhunt all the live-long day.
Wonder if the kids would like to spend the night with Grandma Faye.
Manhunting’s what I’ll be doing...New Year’s Eve.

Faiken, New Year’s Eve 2011

In retrospect, having kids seems a silly folly.
Can’t I give them away? Heck, I did it with Durham and Raleigh.
That’s what I feel like doing...New Year’s Eve.

Think anyone would notice if I left them in Uganda.
There’s plenty of orphans there, so I bet no one would wonder.
That’s what I feel like doing...New Year’s Eve.

Faiken, New Year’s Eve 2015

Maybe it’s much too early in my career
To be touring with the “Stars of Yesteryear.”
Yet that’s what I am doing New Year’s...New Year’s Eve.

Wonder if it seems odd to anyone?
That I’m the opening act for Wayne Newton -- who’s eighty-one
Yet that’s what I am doing New Year’s...New Year’s Eve.

Faiken, New Year’s Eve 2020

Sometimes I wish I had stayed with Reed Kelly
(Who left ‘cuz I’m a manwhore and my feet are so damn smelly.)
I could have been with him New Year’s...this New Year’s Eve.

Wonder why I’m spending New Year’s all alone.
Even John Paulus isn’t picking up his phone.
That’s how I’m spending New Year’s...New Year’s Eve.

Faiken, New Year’s Eve 2040

Life is so different when you’re sixty-two
No concert touring, no Spamalot Part Two.
I’m sitting at home whining...New Year’s Eve.

Wonder why no one likes the way I sung?
I’m considered a joke now...worse than William Hung.
So that’s why I sit at home whining...New Year’s Eve.

Faiken, New Year’s Eve 2050

Maybe I’m ready for the old folks home
I hope no one there has read Parker’s tell-all tome.
That’s where I’m going New Year’s...New Year’s Eve.

Shady Pines isn’t so bad if I get it through my head
No Claymates can follow me there since they are all now dead.
That’s where I’m going New Year’s...New Year’s Eve.

Faiken, New Year’s Eve 2060

Maybe it’s now too late in this old life
Too ponder the problems I caused -- plus all the strife.
No point in reflecting this New Year’s...New Year’s Eve.

I treated my fans badly and, oh, how I lied
If I’d been nicer, maybe my career wouldn’t have died.
No point in reflecting New Year’s....New Year’s Eve.

Another EXCELLENT contribution from our Calliyuck! We love you, Calli!

Come Caroling With Calliyuck and the Clay Aiken Fraud Squad!

All Claymates Want for Christmas

All I want for Christmas
Is a front row seat,
A front row seat,
Yes, a front row seat!

Gee, if I could only
Have a front row seat,
Then I could have a
Merry Christmas!

Oh I wish that I could say
“I thaw a thithy thing a thong in Thpamalot.”
I’ve watched his career since AI2,
I’ve watched him cheat and lie and even thcam a lot.

All I want for Christmas
Is a front row seat,
A front row seat,
Yes, a front row seat!

Gee, if I could only
Have a front row seat
Then I could have a
Merry Christmas!

------------------------------------------------------------------------

We Won’t Have a Merry Little Christmas

We won’t have a merry little Christmas,
Now that Clay is gay,
From now we can’t pretend
He’ll marry one of us someday.

Here we are in our 3X pants
And our grungy old support hose.
Calling him a hawt rock god
Though everybod-y knows:

It’s been years
Since we were young and vital
And knew what was hot.
Yet we loved Clay even when he was a snarky snot
And now we’ll have a merry little Christmas. Not.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------

The Christmas Song (“Chestnuts Roasting on an Open Fire”)

Clay’s career blazed up like a roaring fire
He “flamed” for years before our eyes.
Then his high notes starting going sour
And now we watch as his career finally dies.

We know he’s a turkey with a love of dough
(No ever called us very bright.)
We bought his CDs in great multitudes
And now we find it hard to sleep at night.

We know that Faiken’s really gay.
He deluded us so he could earn big pay.
And every one of us has lost composure
‘Cause we spent so much on him...that our house is in foreclosure!

And so we’re offering this simple thought,
The next time Clay asks us for some cash:
Although it's been said many times, many ways
We’ll avoid that man as if he were a rash!

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Ding Ding Ding Merrily on High

Ding-ding-ding merrily she’s high
If Jaymes likes the way Clay’s singing
Ding-ding-ding merrily she’s drunk
To praise the way he’s singing
Ja-ay-ay-ay-ay-ay-ay-ay,
Ja-ay-ay-ay-ay-ay-ay-ay,
Ja-ay-ay-ay-ay-ay-ay-ay,
A.K.A. Broomhilda!

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Sleigh Ride

Just hear those sleigh bells jingle-ing
Ring ting tingle-ing too
Now watch as Clay waves his hands around
Sending a message to you.

Just watch his fingers moving
Oh what magic they do!
When he moves his hands like this
He’s sayin’ S.T.F.U!

Giddy-up, giddy-up, shut-the-fuck-up
Said with the wave of a hand!
We’re going along with the secret rules
That only mats understand!

Now Dahlstrom’s dancing!
(And don’t say that he’s Clay’s ex!
Clay’s not gay and
Besides he’s never had sex.)

Yes, Clay’s musical show may seem a little bit gay
A fact that you and I will never be able to say.
Though Clay’s singing the songs he loves to sing without a single stop
We’ll never complain or say a word ‘cause he told us to shut!
The! Fuck! Up!

There’s a happy feeling nothing in the world can buy
When Clay’s hands command silence, Claymats don’t ask why
It’s merely that we will always do as Clay Aiken connives
These are the reasons that people say
We mats do not have lives.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------

All’s Not Well

All’s not well. Hear Clay yell.
What happened to his voice?
It’s hard to believe his testes fell
The notes are cracking like a teenage boy’s.
Don’t sing Cla-ay
Please don’t sing Cla-ay!
Don’t sing Cla-ay-AaaaA-owww-oooh-ouch-ay-oow-ay-ay!
(Song ends as mats begin to cheer and applaud so they can drown out the embarrassing glory note.)

---------------------------------------------------------------------------

Whose Child Is This?

Whose Child is this that Faiken holds
On People magazine’s cover?
He’s by himself, no wife in sight
No girlfriend and no lover.

This, this is Faiken’s spawn
Born of a Dixie Cup while Clay thought of men.
Baste, baste, Jaymes spread her legs
And next year they’ll do it again.

------------------------------------------------------------------------

The Little Dumber Girls

“Come,” Clay told us. (We’re dumb-dumb-dumb-dumb.)
“Give to my charity.” (We’re dumb-dumb-dumb-dumb.)
“Fifty dollars for one photo with me.” (How dumb-dumb-dumb-dumb.)
“If I lick these rings, you’ll buy all three!” (Dumb-dumb-dumb-dumb.)
So to honor Clay. (How dumb-dumb-dumb-dumb.)
We gave him all our pay.
Dumb-dumb-dumb-dumb
Dumb-dumb-dumb-dumb
Dumb-dumb-dumb-dumb
And now we feel dumb!

Oh Faye Parker. (We’re dumb-dumb-dumb-dumb.)
We gave our checks to you. (How dumb-dumb-dumb-dumb.)
You never cashed them. (That’s dumb-dumb-dumb-dumb.)
And yet Clay begged for more!
How dumb-dumb-dumb-dumb
Dumb-dumb-dumb-dumb
Dumb-dump-dumb-dumb.
Now we feel dumb.

At the gay-las (How dumb-dumb-dumb-dumb.)
Spooky bought Clay’s shirt (How dumb-dumb-dumb-dumb.)
She’ll go broke some day (How dumb-dumb-dumb-dumb)
Only the mats are hurt
Boy they are dumb-dumb-dumb-dumb,
Dumb-dumb-dumb-dumb
Dumb-dump-dumb-dumb.
Boy are they dumb!

Then Clay will laugh at them (dumb-dumb-dumb-dumb)
And they’ll feel...DUMB.

Many thanks to Calliyuck for the brilliant lyrics and laughs supplied!

Clay Aiken: One Of 2008'sTop 10 Silliest Celebrities of 2008

2008-12-13T21:23:00.005-05:00

Clay is #10 on E!'s Top 10 Silliest Celebrities of 2008. As E! put's it:

"He actually thought, for years, that we bought his lies.
And then he wanted us to buy People when he came clean."

Thanks to one of our anonymous posters for finding and sharing this giggle inspiring bit of news!

Clay Aiken Has a Boy Friend! Get out of the way, JAYMES!

2008-12-09T17:51:00.007-05:00

The stars have aligned for Clay Aiken.

In the Dec. 22 issue of Star — on sale Wednesday — we report that along with his new baby and new life out of the closet, the former American Idol star has a new boyfriend to enjoy it with! The lucky fella? Broadway dancer Reed Kelly.

"Everybody knows Reed as Clay's guy," a Broadway insider says of the Wicked ensemble member. "Clay met him when he was doing Spamalot in early 2008, and that's one of the reasons he came back to the show again."

They even appeared together at Rosie O'Donnell's Building Dreams for Kids gala last month. "It was obvious they were a couple," a partygoers says.

For all the details on their romance — including Reed's role in helping to raise Parker and their holiday plans (which include Clay's baby mama/BFF Jaymes Foster — pick up the new Star on Wednesday.

http://www.starmagazine.com/clay_aiken_dating_reed_kelly/news/14947

Guess this is a good thing for Clay, but probably not for Reed and Jaymes!
In the first blush of new love, it is possible Reed doesn't really know the person he has gotten himself involved with. For all we know, Clay could even be keeping his feet clean for now, but seriously, how long will that last?

And there is someone who is likely to be feeling like a 3rd wheel, like an incubator and now like a baby sitter. Any guesses??

DING DING DING!!!

Jaymes/Faiken's BS is Called Out

2008-12-07T13:40:00.009-05:00

This is People's breakdown:

The breakdown works like this:

Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt twins: $14 million
Jennifer Lopez twins: $6 million
Clay Aiken baby: $1 million
Christina Aguilera baby: $2 million
Tori Spelling secrets: $500,000
Mariah Carey wedding: $1 million
Ashlee Simpson wedding: $500,000
Jodie Sweetin (which carried the amazing cover line "From Meth Addict to Mom"): $500,000

"Clay DID NOT received ONE CENT for the People feature". Of course I'm paraphrasing what Jaymes "IloveClayAikensomuchI'mwillingtolieforhim" Foster argued at he OFC when questioned over the cost of coming out. As the saying goes "what's done in the dark, comes out to the light" and viola', People themselves debunked her claims. Ding, ding, ding, lying much Jaymes? Try calling People Magazine a liar now, LOL!

WHAT???? No Grammy Nod????

2008-12-04T01:02:00.004-05:00

I'm sure the Mats must be having a tantrum over yet another wasted opportunity. The Grammy nominations came and went and once again Clay "Faiken" Aiken is passed over in spite of having produced the best CD of the century with OMWH. I just don't understand it. He's the best singer EVAH to have walked this earth and he gets ignored like that?? Don't they know he's a philanthropist, a humanitarian and a great father who refuses to spoil his son? He's such a great figure that he'd rather ignore his crying infant son than allowing him to manipulate him into picking him up, awwww.

It is obvious that the Grammy's Powers That Be have decided they will never allow him to be recognized as the greatest singer to have graced their awards. It is grossly unfair to nominate Fantasia who's an unfit mother because she had a child out of wedlock, (the horror!!) and yet they ignore Master Faiken even though his altruistic nature called him to bring a new life into this world and show everyone how unselfish his gesture has made him. He no longer thinks only of himself as he used to (as he asserted during his Macy's Parade appearance) and that alone is worthy of recognition.

Master Faiken has given his all during this last year to create a CD whose songs he handpicked himself. He also had a well known producer ("Skipper") which made his CD the best there is. We all cried listening to his emotive songs only to watch in dismay how he got snubbed yet again?? NO!!!!! I hate the Grammy people! They go out of their way to nominate crap like "A Milli"? WTF? That's it! I've had it and I will NEVER buy any music that is nominated or wins a Grammy, NEVER!

I hope those of you reading this blog understand it's a satire... ;)

Can Clay Aiken Make It Any More Clear To The Claymats?

2008-11-27T22:10:00.003-05:00

I watched the Rosie Live show last night and of course the Clay Aiken appearance was funny. Not that I found him hilarious, but the little skit with Rosie about the things they had in common made me chuckle only because I could picture the Claymats cringing over that one. For someone who claimed that being gay doesn't define him as a person, he sure had no trouble getting some mileage out of it. I found it was cool as he seems comfortable in his skin, but wondering if it was just another FU to those homophobic Claymats who in spite of him coming out, continue to deny the undeniable and hope he would "ungay" himself. FAT CHANCE!

The Macy's Parade short appearance sealed it with his face on full on makeup (eyeliner and all) so, I wondered if the Claymats were still claiming he was wearing the makeup from Spamalot because he didn't have time to remove it? He did say he was getting used to New York City and who wouldn't? He was "freed" there after all.

Call me sick, but I just love how these things must be burning the Mats and especially reading their posts which are totally full of denial. To see everything they fiercely denied and fought over to be plastered on their faces brings a lot of satisfaction only because all they did in the past to those who spoke the truth. I have a feeling they are stuffed from eating all that crow today instead of turkey. BWAHAHAHA!

Did Clay Aiken Quit RCA??

2008-11-21T12:39:00.003-05:00

It was probably more like him hanging on to the door screaming "RCA!!! I can't QUIT you!!"

What do you say when your CD bombs
And your single's not a hit?
You send off this letter to Mr. Clive:
"You can't fire me. I quit!"

What happens when a publicity stunt
(Which involves sex with a paper cup)
Fails to increase your record sales?
You tell RCA, "I'm giving YOU up."

What happens when your thousands of fans
All begin walking away?
You pretend that it's YOUR decision
When you split from R C and A.

The reason your career's in the crapper
Is that you've treated people like shit.
And then, when RCA lowers the boom,
You pre-emptively tell them, "I quit!"

You and your incubator BFF
May say that the best's yet to come
But does anyone believe YOU dropped RCA?
C'mon, Faiken, we're not that dumb.

Thanks to Calliyuck for another brilliant post made blog.

Claymates Hear No Evil, See No Evil, Speak No Evil

2008-11-14T20:52:00.003-05:00

The following post by one of our many anonymous posters was right on point and the reason I felt it needed highlighting.

They don't want to understand anything about being gay, especially since they can hardly accept it. They just want to ignore it and not have it "shoved in their faces". Like if Clay ever is photographed with a guy, especially a candid shot. Most of them admit that they don't want to see any "evidence" of Clay leading a gay lifestyle and that includes shots of him with a date. They are like this, when it comes to Clay's "gayness".

As many of us have said in the past, Clay Aiken can be caught in the act with any man and they will say it was a body double, or that he was set up, or that he was forced to it, but NEVER admit that as a gay man he will engage in gay sex. They can't wrap their heads over the fact he can actually be intimate with a man. That's why we are back to reading post after post about how turned on they are by him or simply using language you would use when speaking about a VERY heterosexual man. They can't bear to hear, speak or see anything but the Faiken they were made to believe he was and which now they can't erase from their psyche because the old one is what they were sold, but it happened to be a fraud.
