Clay Aiken / Learning to Sing

Usually when we do read memoirs, it's either for a paper or that he/she is one who had really done something impactful for the country or the world. And this one that i've just finished was neither. I only remember clay aiken as the second runner up for the American Idol 2. It was THAT time when all the "star searching" started.

No doubt this book was out to tap on his fast increasing fanbase during that AI period, as it was really easy reading. Some parts make me laugh and cry... Some parts made me think: hey that's life again, right? And there was this part about this... when he went on The Ellen Show, he doesn't understand why many of his relatives question him about going on the show... and by doing this he is condoning her lifestyle... and after the book, i went to pull out this first CD of his: Measure of a Man and ran it.

So i was trying to look for a good clip of his, i saw this... he looks TOTALLY DIFFERENT now.
See how stardom / tv / pop industry can change one's physical looks... well with money of course...
In the clip there was this contestant who claims to be a clay-wannabe, and well, yeah... maybe if he could sing like clay, he'd have the same stardom fate... but i can understand why the judges said no immediately. Well, think positively, he still got to sing with clay in the finals!



Well, many things happen everyday.
Que sera sera, whatever will be, will be.
