Messin' Up My Senses!

Clay Aiken--How can anyone not love this amazing young man!

We that do are so lucky :)
I knew I was missing Clay, but didn't know how much until seeing and reading all about the GLAAD Awards Saturday night.

It was wonderful to have him in the spotlight again, I'm enjoying the new clack, but I want to see and hear him on stage more than ever!

One of my favourite things about preparing a blog is choosing the music that I feel compliments the theme of the blends.
Mind you it can take me days to finally make a choice since every song I play of Clay's is so awesome.
Then of course, if I want a video to go with the theme, there's all those YouTubes to go through.

One would think I've seen every Clay video there by now, but I'm always finding something new, or else I don't remember it. That's a benefit of a short memory, next week everything is new again, LOL.





Today I'm going with a JBT favourite, I Can't Help Falling in Love With You from the Elvis medley, track by Aflack, for the opening song.
SueReu's Here Ya Come Again montage with clips from SRHP performances is the video.
Thank you ladies!

Thanks to bigappleforclay for the photo of Clay.

Spring ln with Clay

It's OFFICIAL! The calendar says SPRING has arrived!!
The calendar and the TV weatherman are never wrong - right? Then how come when I look out my window, I see snow on the ground and nary a sprig of new grass or a crocus peeking out of it.
Oh well, at least the days are getting longer and I know spring is on it's way.
In the meantime I look forward to seeing Clay Aiken on my TV again for his guest appearances on ANTM and 30 Rock.

A friend sent me this bit of "history" a while back:

THE HISTORY of Aprons

I don't think our kids know what an apron is.

The principal use of Grandma's apron was to protect the dress underneath, but along with that, it served as a potholder for removing hot pans from the oven. It was wonderful for drying children's tears, and on occasion was even used for cleaning out dirty ears. From the chicken coop, the apron was used for carrying eggs, fussy chicks, and sometimes half-hatched eggs to be finished in the warming oven. When company came, those aprons were ideal hiding places for shy kids. And when the weather was cold, grandma wrapped it around her arms.

Those big old aprons wiped many a perspiring brow, bent over the hot wood stove. Chips and kindling wood were brought into the kitchen in that apron. From the garden, it carried all sorts of vegetables. After the peas had been shelled, it carried out the hulls. In the fall, the apron was used to bring in apples that had fallen from the trees.

When unexpected company drove up the road, it was surprising how much furniture that old apron could dust in a matter of seconds. When dinner was ready, Grandma walked out onto the porch, waved her apron, and the men knew it was time to come in from the fields to dinner.

It will be a long time before someone invents something that will replace that 'old-time apron' that served so many purposes.

REMEMBER:

Grandma used to set her hot baked apple pies on the window sill to cool.

Her granddaughters set theirs on the window sill to thaw. They would go crazy now trying to figure out how many germs were on that apron.

I don't know of anyone who ever caught anything bad from an Apron...only love.

Robin: Actually, no, I love your voice anyway, but it was, yeah, it was a great job, and ah, I love your interpretation of it.

Paula: You know I'm proud of you, Clay. You know what? You shook your thang, but most important, you know what, having a little bit of humility, and having fun, and not taking yourself so seriously....It's a blast watchin' you, and it's just wonderful.

Simon: (shaking head speechlessly) Horrible. I mean, Sorry! Everything about that was horrible. It was!

Judges Comments:

Randy: Yeah, yeah, yo, man, you know what? Dawg, I gotta give you your props, man. You really came on tonight. You're really tryin' to win this, and you're doin your thing. That was brilliant, brilliant, brilliant.

Robin: You've got an absolutely fantastic voice, and this is the way the song should be sung, and it's just brilliant.

Paula: The last two weeks have been my favorite Clay moments because you've really found a safe place with your vulnerability, and your maturity as a performer has caught up with your beautiful voice.

Simon: Clay, I think this is the third Pop Idol or American Idol I've done if you include the English one, and that's probably one of the best performances I've ever heard throughout the competition.
