I just want to clarify something. My name on the Clayboard is Sunny. However, I’m NOT the “sunny” who is posting here.

PATTY
Please get a LIFE and stop your crazy IMAGINATION Clay Aiken never set himself up as THE GREAT MORAL LEADER FOR THE EVANGELICAL CRSTIAN YOUTH. How ever he did say he is a CHRISTIAN and he did say he is GAY and that my dear is what you have a problem with. So what you saying a GAY MAN can not be a CHRISTIAN The only people who were hurt when Clay Aiken came out was the once,who FANTASIEST about him as a man (if you know what i mean) I’m not GAY hoewer I love this man as an artist with an INCREDIBLE VOICE and thank god we have him.

I want to say I am sorry for lashing out. I do want to thank the ones with good comments to me even though I was nasty. I don’t know how I got drawn into such a bizzarre fascination with Clay. It is not normal or healthy. I have loved Celine Dion for 20 years and finally in 2008 saw her live and I had no desire to go see her leave and I never look her up to see what is going on in her life but love her. I left her concert just knowing It was amazing and have great memories of going.That is normal. Yes Clays fan made him out to be a superhuman. He has not done anything extraordinary for the world or kids. But he has done some.How do we know this.. because he tells everyone and the crazed fans add to it. So if you like clay thats fine but don’t be ridiculous. I guess I was mad about all the money I spent on him and being poor wanted back what I could get back and found out he is not a hot comodity on Ebay like he use to be. So with your advice to move on I hauled all my clay boxes to the curb and actually felt a burden lifted as the garbage men hauled it away.I have more space now and don’t have to worry about it anymore. I have a thing about being lied to and Clay knew we all beleived him and stuck up for him and I just feel he played us all for fools. I just want to make one thing clear..I do not dislike him him because he is gay. The many times he denied it he should have said no comment if he was not ready to face it. But that said I guess we should all have not been so involved in his life. Just enjoy the music and don’t pretend you know these singers. Lesson learned! I went to many clay concerts and I know most of his fans are super nice. Then you have the off the wall ones that actually give him a bad name. But again I do want to apologize and thank the ones who helped me think through this. Just remember to keep it REAL!

As of a few hours ago, there were PLENTY of tickets available on TIcketmaster. Yesterday there were GOOD seats left. I don’t know why Clay said it was sold out, and quickly.
I agree with Patty. Clay didn’t need to be so loud and vocal about his “Christianity” and how he wouldn’t ever say d— again like was on his first album…only 1 time on 1 song. Now he says that and all kinds of other cuss words…in interviews etc. He is just a liar. He was a great actor, and mostly a “good” liar. Had a nice voice, but not much of a person.

Sunny speaks the truth. I don’t care that Elton John is gay. I DO care that Clay Aiken set himself up as The Great Moral Leader For Evangelical Christian Youth, and then turned around and repudiated everything he said about sexual purity. He’s just like ANOTHER hypocritical televangelist. He went out of his way to be a hypocrite, and people were hurt because of it. Then he ridiculed those hurt people for being stupid enough to have believed him in the first place. Disgusting.

P.S. The concert is NOT sold out.

I wish I could be one of the lucky few that got tickets to this special taping. I will definitely be watching when the show airs, but of course it won’t be the same.

I don’t understand why there is so much drama about the “sell-out”. Don’t you people know that EVERY “sell-out” has tickets available, just go search for them & you’ll find them. Why aren’t you guys harassing those artists? And if you are, you really shouldn’t be.

I understand Sunny if you were upset when Clay came out, I was too, but saying he “conned” us is a little harsh. We all have things about ourselves that we may not be ready to share with the world & may never, but that doesn’t mean we are trying to trick people. Regardless of what has happened over the past couple years, I still believe that Clay meant all that he said about marriage & girls he had crushes on in school. I don’t want to analyze Clay, but I don’t think it is fair to assume he was “lying”.

I had a best friend who until he died, I didn’t know was gay. He tried to date in school, but was rejected by girls because he was thin & not very tall. He liked girls, but was confused & hurt by their cruel comments. Eventually he grew up became a male model & worked in Las Vegas & got lots of attention. He had always wanted to get married – his brother & sister already had families, but it wasn’t in the cards for him. He finally started dating guys privately, but unfortunately got aids and died. He was 28. After his death, another co-worker & good friend of mine told me he confided he was gay to others in the office during that last year, she told me he wanted to talk to me about it when he got sick. Based on how close we were, I couldn’t believe it. We were best friends & talked about everything, or so I thought, but it was personal & his business & if he didn’t feel comfortable talking about his sexuality to me, I can’t blame him. Maybe he knew inside earlier, but was afraid to tell me. Although it hurt, I don’t consider him a liar. The sad thing is that we never got to talk, the day I was going to see him at the hospital, he passed away. I have never forgiven myself for that. I know he loved me & I loved him (not sexually, but in every other way – he was like a brother to me). I was upset that he told other people that were not as close to him as I was, but I think it is because he was afraid of losing our friendship.

I felt that same way in the beginning when I found out about Clay, but then I thought about it & realized that sometimes it is the ones that mean the most that find out last. I don’t believe that Clay ever intended to fool his fans. Like my friend, he just didn’t know how to deal with it & once time started passing it never seemed like the right time. At least it is finally out & he can be himself. I wish things had been different too, but we can’t go back & rewrite history, so we just have to focus on what made us drawn to Clay – his magical voice, his sweet personality & his big heart. I will always remember my friend for the good times, not the fact that he never told ME personally something that was such a big part of who he was.

Clay is not perfect, never claimed to be, it was US, the fans that put him on a pedestal, so there was nowhere for him to go, but down. Now I just try to enjoy his music, since he still has one of the most gorgeous voices out there & let go of whatever “disappointments” I might have felt at the time. Even now, he didn’t have to give us any explanations, but he has & I think we owe it to him to let him be who he is, whether or not we agree with it.

I am just happy that Clay is finally back & I hope more fans support him so that he can start touring again.

Dear Sunny, Clay did not con any of his fans, and you need to stop talking about “all his fans.” You were told about his charities, his music and his concerts. If he asked you to buy things and then he would date/marry you, I would say you were conned. Since you, nor any other fans, were ever told that, I don’t see how you could say you were conned. Your fury is all because you expected to be part of his life, and that is your foolishness, not Clay conning you. The more you post, the sillier you look. ANYONE reading your nonsense can see what has you in such a fit.

Sunny,

Too bad for you. All the things you feel is just not justifiyable. He waited for the right time and we should support that. He’s done too much for all the needed kids and who do you think any of the idols do this things that he do for others. He is pure and you are just kidding yourself if that is the way you feel. All is forgiven and that is a true fan which I think you are not. So be it and just get on with your life. It is better to live with forgiveness than not at all. God Bless you.
