Friday at the St. Pete Times Forum, they tested whether their talents could resonate beyond the confines of the TV screen. It wasn't presented to be a competition, but come on - these two got their careers from a competition. And while Clarkson was the first American Idol champion, Aiken - the second-season runnerup - easily stole the show. The co-headliners followed opening act The Neu Sisters with separate sets, except for a show-capping duet of Journey's Open Arms. They alternate the opening and closing slots each night. Clarkson was first up Friday, and her set played nothing like a true headlining gig. Instead, it was largely rushed and graceless. A ponytailed Clarkson, while in good voice, sang with little passion and even seemed distracted. She steamrolled through most of her album Thankful like she was in a Fear Factor challenge, with barely a breath between songs. Her delivery was largely uninspired, improving only a little with her set closers: The Idol signature A Moment Like This and her hit single Miss Independent. She sang them in a T-shirt that read "Clay Rocks" - ultimately her one resonating statement of the night. Aiken ran right off with the show, dramatically appearing from the back of the arena to lead the band through a cover of Mr. Mister's 1980s hit Kyrie, rousing the crowd of 19,823. All night, he was charismatic and assured. Unlike Clarkson, he seemed completely at home onstage. True, Aiken's smaller-than-life appearance was only magnified - or is that minimized - by the arena around him. When Aiken sang I Will Carry You off his album Measure of a Man, one had to wonder: Clay, just exactly whom could you possibly carry? Mini Me? Whitney Houston? It's too bad some of Aiken's material isn't better: The cheesy verses of I Survived You were indistinguishable from a Jack Black parody. But darned if Aiken - no doubt a fan of the word "darned" - didn't preach it like it was gospel, and darned if the crowd didn't buy every syllable. Aiken closed by aping Prince - come to think of it, there's a guy he could carry - with a cover of When Doves Cry. Few sights on earth could be stranger than Aiken dancing amorously with a lovely backup singer, crooning to her "the sweat of your body covers me . . . can you picture this?" She's can't, we can't and Clay can't, but he knows it, and that makes him immensely appealing. He's in on the joke, but his talent is serious, and Friday he seemed every inch the star. As for Clarkson - how about From Justin to Kelly II? posted by Yee 6:35 PM . . .
long time long time no see! wanyu and yilin are crazy. over clay. bless the two o them. wanyu got a blog. babybluefish.blogspot.com posted by Yee 1:12 AM . . .
stupid. the guys take forever to decide. they didn't go after all. and then cindy last minute say "on second thought i think i'm not joining you all for the ktv... sorry..." @^$*^$^$@$$&^%*(& posted by Yee 12:23 AM . . .
hi hi hi hi hi long time no see congratulate me. i've clayverted yilin! hahahahaha... i've decided. i shall stop referring to clay fans as claymates. clay doesn't like that. hehe. apparently allan watched american idol 2 too. and i just told him straight "wanyu and i support clay. so if you don't like him don't say anything". and i only got a pissed look from him before he turned in another direction. haha... well, too bad. talking about which, we're going ktv tmr. we asked the guys if they want to come. they were all so enthusiastic about it yesterday. but today they were all like... well, let's just put it this way. yiming: i got a lot of tutorials to do so i'm not going. mervyn: i may have a lunch appointment so confirm with you later. allan: is yiming going? *pengz* and he added later on that he got something in the morning so can only confirm later. oh well. on the other hand, the girls have all replied (except for cindy). ok i'm imagining them asking tmr why we didn't ask josephine along. well... i dunno how i'll react. yesterday fadzli asked us why jo's not here. and i just say she couldn't make it. which isn't a lie, so... but yeah it's sort of a lie cos i deliberately hid from him that she just gave birth. ok. next time they ask either i'll just say she got other commitments or plainly that she just gave birth. i think she actually wants them to know... i mean just bcs people asked why she's not here doesn't mean she has to say "bcs just gave birth". can just say "other commitments" or "not free" or "can't make it" or "got something on"... why that specific? oh whatever... anyway wanyu and i agreed that the next time we go ktv (which turned out to be this time) we'll wear the aiken #1 t shirt. haha.... i can't imagine... well well. guess what? more trouble. so irritating. we'll see lah... posted by Yee 10:18 PM . . .
