Clay Aiken With David Foster in Las Vegas
Over the weekend, Clay Aiken was a special guest at the David Foster and Friends show in Las Vegas (May 9, 2009). He looked fantastic (did anyone find video of an actual performance?) and I hope he had a good time while he was there (it was at the Mandalay Bay Resort & Casino which I really love!). I was able to find this collection of pictures from the performance set to the Leona Lewis version… More »
Ruben Studdard’s New “Together” Video

Clay Aiken Attends 2009 GLAAD Awards
American Idol season two runner-up, Clay Aiken, attending the GLAAD (Gay & Lesbian Alliance Against Defamation) Awards for the first of, what I’m sure will be, many times.

I also was able to scrounge up a couple videos of Clay arriving at the event. They aren’t anything super… More »

Inside Disney’s American Idol Experience
I cannot put up pictures yet of what I saw while I was inside the American Idol Experience attraction at Disney’s Hollywood Studios but I can tell you a few things! There were five finalists and we were given instructions about how to vote for the person we liked best (there’s a voting panel on the armrests). The only problem is that you can accidentally change the vote of the person sitting next to you, which happened to me (fortunately,… More »

This is our second day in our week-long countdown to the start of American Idol season 8!!! So, what do you remember about the second season of your favorite singing competition?

American Idol Flashback: Season 2 Top Five Medley
Here’s a video of the medley that the top five contestants on the second season of American Idol performed. I thought they did a great job but they were a really strong group of singers.
