I am trying to write CANN. Why is that difficult today? (103 degrees in the house!)

It is the second day that Clay Aiken is performing the role of “Man In Chair” in the wonderful musical show, “The Drowsy Chaperone”.

It was fun this morning to see the comments people said about Clay and the show! It seems he is amazing on the stage whether it is singing or acting.

As you can see, Clay took off his wig when he met these people.

The following is some comments that were posted on FB.

Congratulations Pittsburgh CLO Opening Night of the Season and Drowsy Chaperone with Clay Aiken did not disappoint !

Last night’s “Drowsy Chaperone” (Pittsburgh CLO) was a love-letter to Broadway! Clay & Paige led a brilliant cast, and I was charmed by every second of it! 

Absolutely wonderful play!! Great song and dance numbers, lots of laughs, the costumes were amazing, Clay was great………and, of course, I think Paige stole the show!! It is a definite must see!!

Of course there are many more posts!

I also have a few pictures from the show. These are hard to get, but worth the time!

I also found two videos. The first one at the radio station and the second is a part of the show. I hope they work out! BUT!!!!! the radio station works well….the other, well it’s not working!! So sorry! It might get available tomorrow!

 

Isn’t it fun to see Clay! I was not able to go this time and the pictures do help!

It you get anymore info, please let me know and I will try to get it posted on CANN!

HAVE A GREAT THURSDAY!!

Tuesday, June 21, 2022 is the summer solstice and the longest day of the year. This is the day that the sun shines directly on the Tropic of Cancer, an imaginary line north of the equator. After the 21st, the days will get shorter by about a minute or so each day until we reach the autumnal equinox, when day and night become even.

So…that means it’s time to enjoy vacations, great weather, pools, baseballs, and everything else that goes along with the summer months!

How will Clay Aiken celebrate the first day of summer?  Well, he is probably working hard on the last minutes of The Man In Chair (on the stage). It’s hard to know for sure.

Whatever his schedule is, I hope he has a great day!!

When I think of Clay and summer, I remember the  wonderful concert he gave on July 2, 2004.  The concert was part of the Summer Concert Series for Good Morning America.  The outdoor concert was held at Bryant Park in New York City.  Thousands of fans came to watch!

Watch Clay Aiken perform I will Carry You

 

 Happy Summer!!!

Do you remember Taylor Hicks?  He was the winner of the 5th season of American Idol.  On one day, Taylor shared a bit of news about his season of American Idol. Taylor revealed that he had inside information about who was getting eliminated each week when he was on the show.  He also said that he wasn’t the only one.

According to TMZ:

Taylor was on WJOX radio Friday in Birmingham, AL when he dropped the bombshell. As he put it, “I had an ‘in’ in the whole production of the show” who told him the results before they were revealed during season 5.

Mr. Soul Patrol says the only night he didn’t get the info was the finale in 2006 — where he was up against Katharine McPhee. He did say executive producer Nigel Lythgoe  gave him a “wink and a nod” before the results were announced.

Taylor’s comments woke up Clay Aiken who immediately tweeted:

This is some damn nonsense BS. Didn’t happen. #fakenews

OK, Clay…OK! Taylor’s remark does seem odd!  

The remarks about Idol made me remember some of the fun things Clay sang on Season 2.

~~~~~

American Idol, Season II was full of surprises.  It was an exciting time for the performers and the audience.

The third elimination night was one of those surprising times.  Just as everyone had settled down to hear Disco Music, the theme for the night was changed.  “Country-Rock”……..what is Country-Rock?  Wearing a cowboy hat, Ryan Seacrest said: The theme for tonight is the intricate fusion between country and rock.

The guest judge for this night was Olivia Newton-John.

Singing Brian White’s hit, Someone Else’s Star, Clay Aiken was the highlight of the evening.  Randy, Paula, and Olivia gave Clay a short standing ovation.

Simon thought it was sweet, but just like his last performance.

Do you remember this song?

Someone Else’s Star

Alone again tonight
Without someone to love
The stars are shining bright
So one more wish goes up
~
Oh, I wish I may
And I wish with all my might
For the love I’m dreaming of
And missing in my life
~
You’d think that I could find
A true love of my own
It happens all the time
To people that I know
~
Their wishes all come true
So I’ve got to believe
There’s still someone out there who
Is meant for only me
~
I guess I must be wishing on
Someone else’s star
It seems like someone else keeps getting
What I’m wishing for
~
Why can’t I be as lucky
As those other people are
I guess I must be wishing
On someone else’s star

~

I hope you enjoy the video of this performance.

Clay sang this song on March 25, 2003!

Eighteen Years Ago!!!

Did you know?

Sonra Louise Smart Dodd of Spokane, WA started the observance of the Father’s Day on the 19th of June, in 1910.

She wanted to express her thanks to her own father, who had reared her on his own, since the death of her mother. 

Her father, Henry Jackson Dodd celebrated his birthday in June, thus, she chose this month to celebrate the holiday.

I love these quotes about fathers!

My father gave me the greatest gift anyone could give another person, he believed in me

~ Jim Valvano

When I was a boy of 14, my father was so ignorant I could hardly stand to have the old man around.

But when I got to be 21, I was astonished at how much he had learned in seven years.

~ Mark Twain

My father used to say that it’s never too late to do anything you wanted to do.

And he said, ‘You never know what you can accomplish until you try

~ Michael Jordan

When my father didn’t have my hand . . . he had my back

~ Linda Poindexter

The only way I can describe [fatherhood]—it sounds stupid, but—at the end of How the Grinch Stole Christmas,

You know how his heart grows like five times? Everything is full; It’s just full all the time.

~ Matt Damon

Clay…

Wishing you a

Happy Father’s Day!

May it be filled with

lots of love,

lots of family,

lots of hugs,

and

lots of fun.
