Thank God someone posted this video and validated the points made in my review. I'm sure it won't wake up the Claymates who blindly love everything he does, but the things that are so glaringly obvious in this video are exactly the things I was talking about in my original post.

The video not only didn't validate your review but it showed that you didn't understand what you saw. Clay played young Joseph as naive and clueless where others have played him as self absorbed and smug. The promo said this was Joseph as you've never seen before. Keala also took a different take on the Narrator. Get over Donny's version. Clay and this cast blew it out of the water.
There is no charm in Clay's performance. He certainly does not fit the way Joseph is usually portrayed as a beautiful, sexy, self absorbed, head in the sky man in the first half and Clay just isn't All these things are joseph. You don't want Donny's then look at Lee Mead's. I like it better than Donny'. Clay's is more like high school.
You guys are cracking me up with all of this Clay Aiken hate. BUT....to each his own. It appears that President George HW Bush and his wife, Barbara, enjoyed the show. These were posted on FB...
If we're not having fun, then why are we doing it?
These are DISCUSSION boards, not mutual admiration boards. Discussion only occurs when we are willing to hear what others are thinking, regardless of whether it is alignment to our own thoughts.
Because he was SOOOOOOOOOOOOO good in the role or because he has a lot middle aged fans who worship at his feet? I doubt the word about town was you NEED to see Clay Aiken in Joseph because he was so good!
