I loathe him. It happened suddenly, out of nowhere. Before, I was aware of his existence and felt indifferently towards him, as I feel about most of the American Idol collaborative. Then, his album came out ("Measure of a Man"--am I the only one whose mind rests far enough in the gutter to be squicked by the title?) and I was filled with unrational loathing. Add to that the fact that his first single has a weird stalkeresque vibe to it ("If I was [sic] invisible / then I could just watch you in your room") and I am solely filled with loathing for him. Memo to Mr. Aiken: Sting singing about stalking? Strangely sexy. You singing about stalking? Conjures up nothing other than images of that awkward, quiet guy from high school staring at the back of the pretty girl's head day after bleeping day until she finally just snaps and says "QUIT IT!"

Of course, we don't always agree on quality musical entertainment anyway. ::cough::NewKids::cough::

Posted by: Lone Star on October 30, 2003 01:13 AMI think Clay is the best thing to happen to music. He has such a soulful voice. When he sings I get chills throughout. I eat sleep and dream Clay Aiken. I cant get enough of him. Yes I am obsessed. There are people out there that doesnt care for him and to those people I have to say. Dont look or listen then.
