I don’t agree that there are no hits. Everything I Don’t Need is my favorite. Don’t insult my intelligence. You mentioned Carrie Underwood. She has a multi million dollar contract, and had several songwriters writing for her. It was not cheap. That’s the luxury that you have when you win the competition. That’s what happens when you rig the competition, and the real winner doesn’t win. Clay lost to Ruben. They lost money. Carrie Underwood is with Arista. She is also a country artist…she can sing a song like “Before He Cheats”. If Clay sang a song like that you critics would laugh him silly. Look what you have done with Everything I Don’t Need. He rocks that song. Don’t you like to dance. I guess you wouldn’t like Achy Breaky Heart. It’s really trite, but it worked.

“I have a question. When is this guy going to admit he’s gay?”

Maybe he isn’t admitting it, because he isn’t gay. The media doesn’t publish Clay’s dates with women. They like to portray him as gay, and make up stories. I think you’d be surprised at how much he likes women…especially pretty blonds that are stacked. Do y’all go to his concerts? Well, see you miss a lot.

Well, I really like Clay’s album, and I love my music, and great songs. But guess “No Rehab” is what flies nowadays. It’s a great message for a troubled teenager strung up on drugs.

Excuse me? Carrie Underwood? Her songs are great? Hey I like her but “great songs??” There are nothing special about them, unless you are a country music fan and that is fine. I think that kind of defines your taste in music.

No reason to submit a review on Clay’s album to you. Your opinion is already there and nothing anyone could write would change that.
A simple waste of time.

Quite honestly, after your review, if anyone takes the time to defend or deface the album, you do not deserve the hits to your site. I would just say ignore this site and the reviewer because there has been enough said either way. To further the discussion is pointless.

Of course, you are entitled to your opinion. Nevertheless, the majority of reviews for ON MY WAY HERE have been quite favorable. I never judge a book, movie, or an album by reading critical reviews. What I enjoy can best be determined by me.

Your review was quite void of SOLID supporting details for your comments and really seemed aimed at inviting a battle between fans and haters. It is unfortunate that your efforts could not have been more productive even if you wished to discredit the CD.

You are the first person who did not like the CD . You obviuosly is not an insightful person. The CD is inspiring, uplifting, empowering
edgy, fun Clay’s voice is flawless. This is the best CD of the year and we need to create more music like this

If you have nothing to say , why write when it does not create a positive effect and when it does not make a difference in the world
You need to sit down and listen to the CD. Hopefully it will awaken your human spirit

The whole review is answered by your statement that you didn’t want to listen to this album. And, obviously, you didn’t.

Via Rae Gun: Wow, great feedback. I did admit that I went in with a skew, but I want to make myself clear–I think Clay Aiken has a great voice. I just don’t think he had a great team of song writers. There are artists that didn’t write songs but are great artists. Frank Sinatra and Dean Martin never wrote their own songs–but listen to their songs. They are classics. Clay doesn’t have a song that is a classic on this album. But, Clay has the voice to be one of the best singers in music. I just felt like it was a shame he wasn’t given classic songs to sing. Carrie Underwood is proof positive what happens when a great voice is given great songs.

And Sharon–being a humanitarian has nothing to do with being a good or bad artist. Britney Spears has probably done volunteer work but she still sucks.
