10. actually, i think he ain' that bad

he's just about the only teeny pop singer i can stand. But I admire his vocal talent. He really can sing very well.

Josh Groban has a good voice too.

I've already seen him once in concert, he was pretty good. He came out singing a Mister Mister song, so I gave him some props.

15. I just heard his christmas song

and I could easily detect the computer tuning his voice. If he's such a good singer, why does he need electronic help?

17. How can you detect that sort of thing?

If you can hear it with Clay, you can hear it with Ashlee, and DEFINITELY with Paula, since that technology is 14 years old.

So, what do you listen for?

28. It's a digital nudge in pitch..

As the computer tries to figure out what note to tune to you can hear a little warble. Think of Cher's crappy song, "Do you believe in love".. It's that sound only less pronounced.

27. hes a skinny kid who finished second on American Idol two years ago

but actually ended up having a bigger career than all the other winners of the first three seasons.

He's like, the only one from the show who actually has talent.

Plus his christmas album is now the best-selling holiday album ever, and it hasn't even come out yet. It became the best selling just on pre-orders alone.

13. OMG! I'm so sorry to hear that

I hope she isn't planning on forcing you to go.

I'd kill my girlfriend if she did that to me. Thankfully, my partner in life is intelligent enough that she wouldn't do that to me. In fact, I'm sure she'd hate that talentless POS as much as I do. But she's never heard him, because I've had the courtesy of never mentioning him to her. But I have listened to him, just out of curiosity, and while I'm glad that at least I can speak truthfully from knowledge, I wish I hadn't listened to it. I felt so...artistically violated.

Maybe not as much as she does. But I'm not treating this as some horrid event I'm being dragged to.

The guy can sing and he actually has a song that I really like. And yes, I am still a manly man. :)

22. he is so cute and sweet looking - and to think he looked like a geek

he really took his 15 minutes of fame and capitalized on it - the winner did not do as well - this guy has someone really marketing him and doing a great job

and yes as someone said josh groban - now there is someone with an exceptional voice -

But I like Clay's rise above the fracus and watching someone wring out their fame so well from the exposure is nice to see - now if I could look that cute and do that -

I walk around with a dust cloud over my head

23. Clay Aiken is terrible, but nothing beats the year my boss

bought us all Mannheim Steamroller tickets. I had no choice but to go, and it was vomit inducingly bad. Of course all the repukes in the audience thought it was spectacular, I was the only one who didn't stand for the ovation. Some guy asked me why I didn't stand, and I told him that it was the worst live event I've ever seen or heard.

31. he's not terrible

He does have an excellent voice. Him and Josh Groban probably have the best two voices of any male singers out there today.

I admire talent, and this guy's got talent.

He has a good voice, but I still think he sucks.

Joe Satriani plays guitar well, but I think he sucks too. I just don't like the music either of them make.

Does Clay write any of his own material? If so, I'll cut him a break.

Her rendition of Summertime gave me chills and nearly brought me to tears.

I'm a 40-year-old heterosexual male, and that doesn't exactly happen very often.

37. i can understand Ricky Martin

who is just dumb.

Clay will get made fun of because he came off a tv show and because he's not exactly the rockingest person in music (and frankly, DU has a bias towards rock music).

After seeing how people on this board creamed themselves over U2, I know not to take too much of what people here say about music too seriously.

He's got a nice voice and he doesn't make my skin crawl like, pretty much 99% of what's played on MTV right now.

Its not like I'm being dragged to an Ashley Simpson concert. This guy DOES have talent.

56. why blame Clay Aiken because he won a tv show

actually, he didn't even win the show, he came in second. He just became really popular because his voice is really good.

Personally, I don't care for Frank Zappa, but there's tons of different types of music I do like. Clay Aiken happens to be at one extreme - Danzig another.

64. i can explain it like this

He has a nice voice and his songs fit his voice. He doesn't get up there and dance like N*SYNCH or the backstreet boys. He's not shaking his ass like Brittney Spears.

He just sings. And sings very very well. I went to a concert of his a few months ago and in the audience were teenagers and people in their 50s and 60s.

He appeals to a lot of different people. Same as Josh Groban.

He just has a pretty damn good voice and I respect someone with that much talent, even if their style of music isn't my absolute favorite.
