63. From reading what all the apparent Aiken fans postings I have this to ask you. Why are you all acting like Clay is the star of the show. You would think it was a one-man show. What happened to all the other actors in the play....did they disappear once this beginner stepped on stage. If he is so wonderful why doesn't he just play each part and to heck with the others. What happened to saying it was a great play and everyone involved did a great job? Whatever happened to respect for the other performers and the audience. If this is the way the claymates are acting, screaming out at this person in the middle of the show then I'm glad I will never be seeing it and I'm glad I'm not a fan of his. Oh, and just because someone does charity work does not always make them a great person that everyone should like. It could be done for publicity. Does he give of his own money? Everyone should be able to like who they want without his fans telling you to like him. Without the claymates where would aiken be?

64. Now that I have seen Spamalot 3 times in Las Vegas, I am thoroughly addicted . Having said that, it is not a one man show. Sir Robin is not even the main Character. I hope that Clay can do the part justice. It is just a huge shame that instead of using a truly gifted broakway performer to take on the role that they gave it to Clay Aiken. I have no doubt that he can handle the vocal aspect of the role, however one does need to act as well.
In My opinion His joining the cast is a definite minus for the broakway cast.
Its a shame, that publicity and marketing takes precedence over talent.

65. Give me a break, what or where would any celebrity be without fans. So yeah, Clay wouldn't be famous and loved by so many without his fans - DUH!!
Isn't this a blog about Clay's debut on Broadway and Clay's fans? Think that this could be the reason he's the one being discussed here, and not the other actors?
Clay's fans were out in full force for his performance, but no one yelled out during the show!! The yelling and screaming for his attention happened at the stage door after the show. He was there to meet with fans, and generally fans do get excited at the prospect of interaction with the person they're a fan of.
And while being an ambassador for Unicef, Clay does pay his way. He also give a lot of his time, and for a lot of celebritys, their time is money. Just think of all of them who just appear at worthless club openings and get paid big $$$$ just for showing up. Clay is not paid to show up in all the third world countries he travels to in his endeavor to help and give hurting people hope. Well, yes he does - because if give his life worth other then being just another useless celebrity that so many of the tabloids can't get enough of.

66. Noone is claiming Clay is the star of the show. This is an ensemble cast of great actors and Clay is a part of that. We are discussing Clay because TMZ chose to spread lies about his debut. They certainly could not trash his performance as he was a smash-according to the other actors in the show. Instead, the teenie boppers who work for Harvey chose to trash the fans-who they claim are "over the hill". Hah. Take a good look at that video folks. Clay will be 30 this year and those folks at the stage door appear to be in that age group. Someday, you TMZ staff will be 40 and will hopefully be smart by then.

IT IS NOT OKAY TO HURT AND RIDICULE PEOPLE FOR ENTERTAINMENT. RAISE YOUR STANDARDS TMZ. IT WILL STILL BE FUN.

67. From what I've read and heard, Clay Aiken is doing a fantastic job at singing, acting, dancing and being extremely entertaining on Broadway. What have you guys at TMZ been doing lately? That's right, nothing. And what do you guys have against older people? Are you bigots? From the video I saw a lot of young people getting his autograph anyway. Can't you report anything accurately?

68. TMZ, you suck. You really need to grow up. I was there on Clay's opening night and he was fantastic. I am not 30 or a housewife YET and I love Clay Aiken. What an amazing voice!

69. Everybody who lives long enough will be over forty, no way to avoid, but you can avoid Clay by not responding to threads about or going to sites to respond about him.

70. Good for him!! He seems happy, so that's all that matters, right?

71. What I find amusing about these people making these disparaging "old lady" or "middle aged lady" comments is, if someone were to say these things about their own mothers, they'd probably come unglued on you.

72. Yes, Clay Aiken has a lot of middle aged women as fans. So what's your point? Are middle aged woman not allowed to have a favorite singer and enjoy his music. Clay has fans of all ages but the middle aged women get picked on and talked about. I, like many of the middle aged women referred to, are baby boomers. We remember the hysteria of the Beatles, we remember teen idols whose music was clean with lyrics we could understand. Clay reminds us of the idols of our teens. If you're implying that we're not cool then so be it.

73. #65 "Clay's fans were out in full force for his performance, but no one yelled out during the show!! "

Just watched The View, He talked about being embarrassed by how loud the claymates were. So tell us again nobody yelled out during the show.

#66 "Noone is claiming Clay is the star of the show"

Go to his fan boards....they are proclaiming him to be the star of the show.

74. I don't remember giving the snot-nosed brats who write this stupid blog the right to determine what is "cool" and what isn't. They aren't even relevant.
