560313.jpgClay Aiken invites Simon Cowell to kiss his butt the next time the salty Brit dismisses a hopeful as being “too Broadway,” since so many former American Idol finalists have gone on to Great White Way careers that have been much more challenging–and rewarding–than serving as cogs in the Clive Davis/Simon Fuller machine. Which is, y’know, kind of a valid point. Also: Please note that Aiken actually said “butt,” and not “ass,” so as not to offend the Claymates’ oh-so-delicate ears. [Broadway.com]

    Gotta be careful with those Claymates. He shakes their ovaries, after all.

    Try to remember that many of Clay’s older fans came of age in the era of “Hair!” (nudity onstage! *gasp!*), the Beatles visiting ‘high’ on the mountainside with Maharishi, and the lovefest that was Woodstock. In your honor, one “Claymate” offers this composition:
    ~~~~~
    Though Claymate’s ears are delicate
    We cuss just for the hell of it
    We often say a**
    Even though we’ve got class
    Cause our thoughts are seldom celibate
    ~~~~~
    Guess we missed the memo that told us it was time to retire to our rocking chairs. As the line from the show says, I’m Not Dead Yet!)

    As for our young Mr. Aiken, he sure can entertain!

    @Chris Molanphy: i don’t know about shaking ovaries, but i know he puts on a good show, and he’s got natural talent that just won’t stop.

    Live stage performance leaves little room for error, unlike the too-often pro-tooled music that’s produced these days. Simon Cowell sees singers as one small piece of package to be marketed & sold, and Clay never fit into his vision of what a ‘pop artist’ is, because he’s not. Clay’s talents go far beyond most. It’s a shame Simon et al can’t be proud of Clay’s successes instead of treating him like some cast-off. 8 tours, 6 million albums sold, and a Broadway role in his first five years look pretty darn good to me.
