Please Don't Pick On Clay Aiken
He just did a fundraiser for John Kerry. He's a nice singer and obviously has his politics in the right place.

Please be nice to him.

Thanks,

MR

2. I'm glad he raised some $$$ for Kerry.
I'd still like to kick his ass, though. :D

3. Have you ever seen the impersonation of him on MAD TV?
After seeing that, it's impossible NOT to pick on him. Regardless of his politics.

5. MADTV does a great Clay!
:D

But I think it's rather good natured. There's no maliciousness it it.

7. the guy who finished second on American Idol last year
He's become the most successful of all the Idol singers. And he actually has a really nice voice.

8. Fine, so he's a crappy singer no-talent hack who supports Kerry
At least he's OUR crappy no-talent hack. Sort of our answer to Kid Rock, I guess. :-)

19. Yeah, but he has better music
Sorry, I watched American Idol once - and that was enough to show me that it's all schlock produced by that show. In 5 years no one will remember who Clay Aikens was but I'm sure that Kid Rock will still be producing.

I like his music - I just won't buy it anymore since he's on their team. Doesn't mean I can't enjoy jamming out to it when it's on the radio

20. As a theatrical producer.
I say that Clay has a fabulous voice and knows how to interpet a song. Clay will be around in one incarnation or another for many years.Kid Rock will be history.He is not timeless as is Clay. I am so proud that he is supporting Kerry.

21. Ha Ha! Kid has better music?!
You must be joking. I fart in your general direction, LynneSin. At least Clay actually sings.

Kid Rock just does fake white-boy rap. Not to mention he's 30 going on 13. Not a pretty sight.

On the other hand, has anyone ever seen Clay Aiken and Barry Manilow in the same place?

10. Well, good for him.
He does have a pleasant "background for an animated movie" kinda voice. Has he come out of the closet yet? :) just asking.

14. what does his sexuality have to do with anything?
and he actually has an incredible broadway caliber voice. But you're entitled to your opinion.

16. Uh... I was making a joke
maybe I should preface it by pointing to my avatar and saying I'm gay? You're right, he'd be good on broadway too.

15. Well, I've already blasphemed in the other thread
about mediocre singers and took a swipe at Springsteen, so I guess for you I'll leave Aiken alone :)

Good luck to your Nets. I can't stand Detroit.

24. I can still make fun of him even if he supports Kerry...
Just because Barbara Streisand is liberal and I singer doesn't mean I have to love her big nose or terrible voice. Same with Clay Aiken. He's annoying. Thus, I will still make fun of him ;)

26. No, every single thing I have heard him sing irritates me
He has the potential to have much better reception from me, but the songs he sings are annoying. He has the talent but not the material.
