Clay Aiken

Posted: 8/4/04 at 1:11am

I saw Clay in concert tonight (amazing, btw lol), and I once again envisioned him on a Broadway stage. I don't know about his acting skills, but I think he needs to try them out lol.

He sang one song with a different voice. I didn't know the song, probably a cover of an old song. He sang it more nasally than normal. I starting thinking of the discussions on this board about him playing Mark in the Rent movie. As this song went on, I starting thinking of this more and more. At first I didn't think Clay's voice was good for Mark, but now, after hearing that he can change his voice slightly (and still be amazing lol), I think it may be. However, I just can't picture him as Mark (namely: the erection part in La Vie Boheme and the language in Tango: Maureen lol).

And on a Clay-related note, Clay puts on an amazing show. I highly recommend his shows! My jaw dropped at some of his notes! lol

I'll be seeing him in a couple of weeks and I can't wait! I saw his first tour (with Kelly) and was floored by his voice.

BTW, what is his song line-up like this time around?

He should have replaced Neil Patrick Harris in ASSASSINS.

It would be great to have another spectulative discussion on Clay's sexual orientation first.

Stop worrying about what I'm doing -- focus instead on what you're eating.

Clay NEEDS to stay away from Broadway, or Musical movies.

Clay's voice has nothing on male Broadway stars like Norbert Leo Butz. Clay isn't all that.

I wouldn't mind seeing Clay on Broadway or in a musical movie.

I'm not sure how he would do on stage. All i know is there are definitely celebrities who were placed in roles who did worse than what he can bring to the stage. I'm going to see him in concert on Friday. I'm glad so many of you liked it because now I know that my money wasn't wasted.

if he can act, why not? His voice reminds me of Sam Harris and Sam has done some good stuff, especially JoJo in THe Life....like I said, if Clay can act, the voice can work on a stage

yeah - and if he can play a straight man convincingly - why not?
(somehow I doubt it, though, Possums!)...he has a nice enough voice - but I would have been appalled had he been cast instead of Neil in Assasins - OY!

"I don't really get the ending,all i can go with is when after several months,Judith saw Pat sang,and later she kissed him on the toilet,after that the story back to where Pat went down from the stage after he'd sung,and he went to the italian lady.I just don't get it,what Judith exatcly meant when he kissed Pat that she had seen,and did Pat end up together with The Italian Lady?Please help me,thank u very much!" Quote from someone on IMDB in reference to a movie he/she didn't understand. Such grammar!

personally, i have never seen him live or otherwise so i wouldn't know. But he does have a pretty good voice when it comes to his songs. I don't know if i can see him on broadway though, but that's just my opinion.

As long as we're talking about Idols. I'd rather see Kelly Clarkson on the NY stage.

Kuhn,

Did you see the train wreck that was "From Justin to Kelly"?

Miss Clarkson has some amazing pipes, but not much to speak of in the acting dept.

A friend of mine, a diehard Clay fan says, and I quote "i saw clay with kelly and I have a rare clip of him singing this is the moment from jekyll and hyde back when he was 17. he sounded great. i can picture him as chris in miss saigon, jekyll/hyde, or the phamtom or even fiyero. Rent, however, is my favorite show and him in the movie would be my two favorite things all in one."

His acting...........a little iffy on.

His voice............phenomenal.

Him playing Mark in the movie........he won't do it. It would destroy all he stands for. I mean he won't sing about sex on his cd so more than likely he won't sing about it in a movie. Also, Mark uses language and gestures that he is against.

Him playing another character on broadway.........I say go for it. I mean, we have all these pop stars who can't sing a lick have their shot, why not give it to someone with real talent. Too him, I say good luck.

I think if Clay got some acting lessons, he'd be perfect for Broadway. However, I think he needs to play out the wave of publicity/star-dom he has in the pop world first.

I am not sure Rent is the right show/movie for Clay to do.

I always tell my friends he's my boyfriend. I used to be obsessed with him. I was so excited when he sang that song with Heather Headley at the BC/EFA benefit concert a few months back!
