TheatreDiva, you spent your Thanksgiving on BWW? That's just pathetic.
"So, you admit Clay is NOT a proper actor..."
No, he is a singer who can also act. Is that news?
"And he was asked to do the part, he didn't compete."
Are you really that dense? He competed on Idol, where he placed 2nd, beating 70,000 other singers. That allowed him to have a successful career in show business, which ultimately led to the offer to do Spamalot.
