"Mikers, why don't you post your review of the show ? Surely you must have seen it since you have such strong opinion about it."
I have not expressed any sort of opinion about the show. I did object to the troll review by a troll who registered at BWW just to post a negative review.
I am going to see it in 2 weeks time.

Posted: 8/4/13 at 9:14pmNever mind, it's pretty clear why you have a toddler name, Mikers.

Posted: 8/4/13 at 9:14pmOnce again, not a negative review. But I guess in your little world, anything that's not 100% "rah rah rah" must be negative?

"Anyone who talks about the Claymates as if they're NOT an army of clones cannot be taken seriously. "
And there, ladies and gentleman is the true motive for the bad review by the troll.

Posted: 8/4/13 at 9:16pmLOL. Thanks for playing, try again. I have nothing against Clay or his fans, except for the exceptionally loony ones.

But, Mikers, since you haven't seen the show, how do you know that what you call a "bad" review is not warranted ? Do you always have an opinion on things before they happen ?

Posted: 8/4/13 at 9:23pmSo why is it, Mikers, that you only seem to appear to gush over/defend Clay and nothing more?

Posted: 8/4/13 at 9:24pmClay is all you ever post about, though. So... what conclusion are we supposed to draw?

It baffles me that you think my review was entirely negative when what I said was that the falsetto stuff was weird (which is more an issue of direction than of Clay himself) and the emotional connection was lacking. It doesn't mean I think he performed badly. I just think the whole thing was an odd fit, and it's not something I'd care to see again. That's all. I'm not going to apologize for having an opinion.
And, actually, Keala Settle's performance was far more of a problem for me than Clay's was. Again, it wasn't that she performed badly- she was just far too demanding of the audience's attention, and that's not appropriate for that role.

I asked in the other thread, but got no response...
What was the story of this being a co-production with another company and it not happening?
Was it because Ogunquit cast Clay?

Posted: 8/4/13 at 9:37pmI'm not sure as to the story behind that either, but I'd be curious to know, if anyone can explain it.

If you think that is a negative Clay Aiken review you haven't been following Clay much:
"He seemed to be fighting a cold or allergies. He went downright screechy on some high notes, and — dare I say it? — pitchy on others, particularly on what should have been the showstopper, “Unchained Melody.”....Didn’t really matter, though — the “Claymates,” as his fans have dubbed themselves, loved every minute of the two-hour show"."
or
"The audience seemed to appreciate Aiken's between-song banter, but unfortunately the songs would have fit all too comfortably in a cruise-ship lounge. "Moon River," "Suspicious Minds," and Aiken's several awkward attempts at mid-song humor were stale - for example, Aiken's messy pop medley of Britney Spears' "Baby One More Time," the New Kids on the Block's "The Right Stuff," the Footloose theme, and his own "Invisible.""
THOSE are negative- just so you can spot the difference. And the thing to do with negative reviews of an artist you enjoy is to laugh and move on. Defending him so vigorously just underlines every negative thing anyone ever said about him.

Posted: 8/4/13 at 9:59pm^Yes. That, exactly. I've enjoyed Clay's music for years. It just so happens that I did not enjoy this production as much as I've enjoyed other things he's done. But I guess Clay fan code dictates that that's wrong.

Well you should. Otherwise, you're not a very good clay mate, are you?
