You can rant, you can rave. Just be nice. Talk about this season or seasons past. I want to hear what you think of the show that has changed Pop Music forever.

Chel, I got hooked exactly the same as you, watching the "nerdy" guy with the great voice!! I had never watched Season 1 and tuned in to Season 2 to see what I had missed, and I've never looked back!! I don't think there will be another Clay Aiken and I've traveled up and down the eastern seaboard to see him and also met many wonderful people! Although I've watched Seasons 3, 4, 5 and 6 I really don't care who wins and do not do any voting. I watch simply for entertainment value and compare everything to Season 2. I still feel that was the best season they had and will continue to attend as many of Clay's concerts as possible and keep meeting the most loyal fans in the world who supported and continue to support him. His humanitarian works, and The Bubel/Aiken Foundation he created, keep us involved in helping children not only in this country, but all over the world through UNICEF. Clay not only has a wonderful voice, but is a great role model as well.

Val! Thank you so much for posting. And you know what else? Clay has the best fans! Doesn't he? Are you planning on coming to Columbus? Chel

Chel, I'm on the East Coast. Will be trying for tickets to Clay's Philadelphia Concert. Just attended his BAF Gala in Raleigh last weekend. He was wonderful and far exceeded expectations as to the amount of money raised for the Foundation. Clay's fans ARE the best in the world. I've met some very amazing people along the way!

Personally, American Idol irritates me. I don't know what it is about that show but it really wigs my out. I think that Kelly Clarkson was the best winner from all the season's. I know that Carrie Underwood has done well but I don't listen to country music so I can't really appreciate her music as much as I do Kelly's. The rest of them?? We need a VH1 special of "Where are they now?"

Anyone have an update or opinion they would like to share as this season comes to an end? Any speculations on a winner?

I never really watched Seasons 1,2 & 3 execpt for the auditions. Season 4 was what hooked me...the moment I saw the rocker from NY..Constantine Maroulis walk into the audition room I was hooked. He was/is absoulty gorgeous and when he started singing I melted. I do love Kelly Clarkson & Carrie Underwood although I am not a big country music fan. But Constantine was the one that hooked me.

Honey - What is he doing these days? Have you seen him in concert? Does he put on a good show?

I'm off to check out your websites!

Thanks, Chel

Constantine has been on the Bold and the Beautiful!

It's surprising that the non-winners do as well as the winners.

Sanjia or whatever his name is...nuff said...made a mockery of the competition IMO
