Is there a special app that lets people know that Clay Aiken is being talked about on the webs?

Maybe I should have titled this thread "that guy from that show who's in that other show based on that story from that book." Maybe Mikers would have stayed away.

Google Alerts does that to some extent, though I haven't used it so I don't know if it extends to message board posts.

Pretty sure we all would have . . .

Don't bother. I'm here all the time and would have read it anyway but at least with a title like that you wouldn't be so obviously trolling for attention.

The Broadway message board of BroadwayWorld.com shouldn't be used to discuss Broadway shows, performers, etc?

How should it be used, Mikers? Since you obviously know so much.

[dblue236]

Once again, please explain, using specific examples, how I was trolling for attention.

[dblue236]

Jungle Red... clearly the Broadway message board on BroadwayWorld.com should ONLY be used to discuss how perfect Clay Aiken is.

Apparently I've been doing this whole thing wrong.

Check the noobies acting all possessive and ****.

[dblue236]

Mikers, Jungle Red has been here for a year, and I feel possessive of nothing. I simply asked you to back up your statement... again.

[Mikers]

Posted: 8/5/13 at 5:13pm

A year is a noob. You are just a troll.

[Jungle Red]

Posted: 8/5/13 at 5:14pm

I've actually been here a lot longer than that. I stopped posted for about three or four years and couldn't log into my old account, so I created Jungle Red. I first joined in 2004. I've been around.

(That's my story and I'm stickin' to it!)

[dblue236]

It doesn't matter how long you've been here anyway. Mikers has been here for 8 years and ONLY posts about Clay, so... far as I'm concerned, that doesn't make him much less of a "noob" than anyone who's been here a year.

"You are just a troll."

Proof? Reasoning to back up your statement? Bueller?

[Jungle Red]

Posted: 8/5/13 at 5:22pm

That's too complicated. He needs simple, like Clay's lyrics.

Stating the name of the actor and the show you saw that actor in as a title for a review thread is trolling for attention? Silly me, I thought identifying people and shows were useful markers to help other people gauge their interest level in the contents of the thread.

I don't think she missed a single insult except she could have added that he should have used a different deodorant.

Subliminal seduction.

Vocally, I was actually less impressed than I expected to be.

This was underwhelming

His vocal high point paled in comparison to others

It was very much on the surface

I spent the entire show thinking of him as Clay Aiken, not as Joseph.

There was no emotional connection

Clay went through the motions

There was just something missing

I never felt like he believed what he was performing

he came across as though he was bored.

He spent much of "Close Every Door" looking down at the floor

It destroyed any chance for audience connection

Clay was often standing awkwardly in the middle of the group and looking like he wasn't quite sure what to do

His vocals were not what I have come to expect.

He went into this weird falsetto

it sounded quite strained

with different leads, it would have been a much more enjoyable and much less awkward show

He does not belong
---------------------------------------------
Any actor/singer reading such a review would be destroyed. Not Clay because he doesn't read this **** but dblue did a real hatchet job and then played all "who me? what did i do?"

These are all her personal observations. Not facts.

[Mister Matt]

Posted: 8/5/13 at 5:49pm

And none of them are "insults" or "unnecessarily negative".

[Mikers]

Posted: 8/5/13 at 5:50pm

Damned right they're not facts but she says it wasn't negative. It could not have been more negative.

NO actor would be destroyed by those comments.

I think her review of Keala Settle was worse than Clay's, but I guess you gloss over that because CLAY.

[Mikers]

Posted: 8/5/13 at 5:54pm

Her review of Keala was a smokescreen to show that it wasn't just a bad review of Clay. You were fooled by it.
