| Clay Aiken Quotables |
| For those in Australia and all of those in NZ who never bothered to watch American Idol, here's an expanation. Clay Aiken - amazing voice, kinda short 'n' dweeby looking, and possibly the sweetest celebrity ever to hit TV screens. His first audition, he looks nothing like an American Idol - bad wardrobe, glasses, sticky uppy hair and he may as well have had a neon sign say DWEEB under his head. And then he sun and proved to everyone he could be an American Idol. He got very fuckin' close as well. It got to the last two finalists, him and Ruben Studdard. For some unknown reason, Ruben won. EVERYONE who has ever seen a Clay performance at its best and a Ruben performance at its best KNOWS that Clay has a better range, voice, talent, (sex appeal, heh) and demeanor. Ruben has a nice, pleasent voice, but has he ever had a crowd burst into applause when he hits a spectacular note that touches you? NO! Clay has. So, here's my tribute to the Idol who should have won. Just as note, some of the Quotables have other people saying stuff, and the people are: Simon - one of the judges, hard to please, British! Paula - one of the judges, easy to please and Randy, judge, Ruben fan, grr. Then there's Ryan Seacrest, who's a bit of a dick but also the host of American Idol. Has sticky uppy hair. Okay, now, to the Quotables! |
| -- Simon: Why are you here? Clay: Uh...I'm the American Idol. You had some good talent, but as far as the top ten goes, I could've been up there. -- Ruben: Clay's my dawg. Clay: Ruben hits me. -- Clay: Ryan, are you available? Ryan: What? Would you please rephrase that? Clay: Are you availa ... oh my goodness! -- Dude! Every week I say, 'Where does that voice come from? The power, the range?!' - Randy, commenting on Clay's height and general petite-ness. -- Ryan: Did you know that you've lost those facial expressions? Clay: Yeah, I've worked on them. Ryan: Where do you work on stuff like that - at the house in the mirror? Clay: Yeah. I don't know if I look in the mirror as much as you. Ryan: Probably not. -- Reporter: Did any of the finalist have a habit that got on your nerves? Joshua Gracin (Top Ten Finalist): Yeah, Clay even sings in his sleep. -- I think I've moved enough for the rest of the season. So, I'm going to calm down a little bit. I might break something, I think. - Clay, after a performance of 'Grease' where he did a tinsy bit of dancing that involved a few hip wiggles -- Simon: What is 'buttercup'? I mean, really, what is that...? Clay: Uh, well, it's a British song, Simon. -- Oh come on, no! -- only if Simon does it with me! - Clay when asked to shake his hips again after 'Grease' performance -- Interviewer (in response to the massive hysteria and screaming in the audience): Now Clay, is it true that many of your fans don't actually own phones? Clay: Yeah, they just scream to their neighbors who they want to win. Interviewer (screaming): "WE WANT CLAY TO WIN!!" -- Don't worry, I'll beat him up after the show for stealing my title!- Clay after Ruben was declared American Idol -- Ryan: What do you have to say to Simon? I mean your just up there not taking yourself to seriously. Clay: I don't take him to seriously. -- I like these shoes. I'm turning into a shoes whore. (horrified) Am I allowed to say that on air?! - Clay, interview after American Idol -- I can handle that. - Clay, about the idea of selling a multi-platinum album. -- |
