Clay: Lightheaded in His Loafers

Clay AikenNotify the press! Clay Aiken is dizzy!

The Idol-ized moptop squeaker got a case of vertigo while performing at The Tilles Center in Greenvale, NY the other night. Ever the trooper, the silverplate-throated crooner went on with the show while holding his balance on a stool, and giving a perfect performance for his fans, who gave him a standing ovation.

Wobbily assisted back onstage on the arm of an assistant, he sang the All is Well tune from his Christmas CD for an encore ... while both he and fans swooned.

46. I just love how much attention all the haters pay to Clay's every move. Let's see ... it's been going on for four years now and you still can't deal with the fact that the man has talent, a huge fan base and more money than you'll ever see.

And whoever said that being a fan/purchasing a CD or concert ticket assured you of the right to sleep with the artist? That's NOT what it's about.

47. Hey, Steven Colbert mentioned Clay having vertigo on The Colbert Report last night! He must read TMZ.... LOL

So, Clay is probably laughing his ass off over this mention. It's about like all the press the Ripa-Rosie thing got.

BTW, Kelly Ripa's BFF Howie Stern was on Conan O'Brien last week, and he confirmed that what Rosie said about Ripa being homophobic was CORRECT. So, I guess Ripa lied about being afraid of the "germs." Um....yeah, right Ripa.

I wonder what else she lies about?

48. Well, guys and gals - let me tell you a bit about Clay Aiken. I just went to one of his Christmas concerts with the Chelsea Symphony Orchestra. Wow. This is one guy who sounds even better in person than on TV. For those of you that wonder if he put on some weight - absolutely not - I was shocked to see how thin he is. He was very personable with the audience. Anyone that shouted out something - he answered to them. He asked to bring up the house lights many times so he could see who he was talking to. He also took some concert-goer's cell phone and had a conversation with the person on the other end. He is not afraid to talk about his charity foundation either. While here in town he visited an elementary school and talked about the disabled little girl in their class that the class wrote a book about. He now is selling it for charity through his foundation. He took the time to show appreciation to those children who were specifically responsible for writing the book, as well as the entire school body. What a sweet guy. Oh, and I might add - not a cuss word all night during the concert - wow!

52. I always loved Clay's voice. I hope a lot of those stories aren't true about him. The episode between Clay and Kelli was terrible, only because Kelli thinks she is "queen." It was alright for her to put her hand on Regis so what was the big deal of Clay trying to shut her ongoing mouth -- she makes me sick. I do wish Clay hadn't done that because I think this was a big chance for him to maybe have a talk show host program, but now I doubt it. I guess he should have still let Kelli be the "star" and she always wants to be. I sure hope he isn't treating his fans as was described in the article -- DON'T GET TOO BIG FOR YOUR FANS -- THEY ARE THE ONES THAT VOTED FOR YOU -- REMEMBER! I do want him to succeed again like he did the first year after Idol. P.S. Clay come to Cincinnati.

54. Clay needs to go ahead and come out of the closet. Anyone with "average" gaydar could have pegged Clay years ago. It doesnt matter that he is gay. What does matter is his denial or refusal to admit it. It will cost him a lot more fans in the long run because they will feel duped. As for the Paxil....double his dosage.

58. I love Clay's singing, and anyone who thinks he can't sing is tone deaf, especially if they voted for Rueben, as for Kelly, she deserves everything she gets she is a b--------------. I wish everyone would quite worrying about if he is gay, who cares, he can sing and that is all that matters. Has everyone forgot about Elton John, Freddy Mercury and others.

59. EVERYONE LEAVE CLAY ALONE AND STOP FOCUSING ON HIS SEXUALITY.
NOONE KNOWS WHETHER HE IS GAY OR NOTAND THAT IS HIS BUSINESS.
I SUFFER FROM PANIC ATTACKS AND ANXIETY AND ITS NO FUN. I ALSO TAKE PAXIL AND IT HAS A TENDENCY TO PUT ON WEIGHT.
I LIKE CLAY, HE IS A NICE KID AND I LIKE HIS SINGING.
SO, LAY OFF AND GIVE THIS KID HIS BREAK..HE DESERVES IT!!

60. Cl;ay Aiken sux. He thinks he's way bigger than he is. His attitude stinks toward his fans. He'll just end up as one of those crash and burn celebrities after people get sick of his crappy karaoke.
