Clay Aiken – Day 5 in Snoqualmie

musicfan123 — Thu, 29 Jul 2010 07:24:27 +0000

Clay Aiken and his tour mates will be performing in Snoqualmie, Washington tonight. They had a long trek across the USA. They started in one corner and ended in the opposite. It would be nice if they have a bit of time to see the beauty of this Washington area.

Snoqualmie is located in the mountains, halfway between Seattle and Snoqualmie Pass. It has a small-town charm with many historic landmarks, unique shops, wonderful restaurants, and scenic beauty.

Snoqualmie is best known as the home of Snoqualmie Falls, attracting visitors from around the world. Snoqualmie Falls cascades 268 feet over granite cliffs – more than 100 feet higher than Niagara Falls! It is a spectacular experience year-round. Visitors also enjoy the Northwest Railway Museum, the largest railway museum in Washington State. It offers scenic excursions aboard antique train cars along a five mile stretch of historic railway.

The Casino where the concert will take place opened in 2008 and is a beautiful facility. The residents of the area call it” a little slice of Las Vegas in their backyard.” The complex has over 170,000 square feet of entertainment space, 5 restaurants and a 1,000 seat events center. I wonder if Quiana will win at the slots today.

There have been so many wonderful pictures of the concerts so far, it is almost impossible to pick a few to highlight. But………here are a few that I think are very nice.

Mustard is not your ordinary shade of yellow! Mustard has an earthiness that is like no other shade. It is similar to the color Flax.

This color was popular during the mid-1970s and is regaining popularity^!!

This summer, thanks to Clay Aiken, the color has become….HAWT!!

Is it possible to keep up with all that is happening in the ClayNation? There is so much to celebrate.

First, today was the premiere of Clay's new song, "I Believe We Can" from the Disney show Phineas and Ferb. The song is rather short, but it is the kind of song that you can easily sing in your mind. Be sure and go to the Disney site and request to hear the song on Disney Radio. Or, go to the following site and vote there. DISNEY

You can see Clay's song on the following video.

Hollywood Outbreak published a new article on Clay and his loyal fans.

CLAY AIKEN CAN’T COMPREHEND HIS FANS LOYALTY

It is hard to believe that it has been eight seasons since Clay Aiken was the runner up to Ruben Studdard on American Idol. Since then, Clay Aiken’s career has not exactly been smooth sailing. He has released a few albums which received positive reviews, but which had a hard time finding their niche on top 40 radio. Aiken also had a rough time a few years ago when he was targeted by the tabloids and had his private life invaded, but that didn’t stop Aiken from pursing his dream in music. He found success on Broadway starring in the Monty Python musical Spamalot, where he received fantastic reviews.

Today Aiken’s career is strong. His new album, Tried And True is out, and he is currently on tour with Reuben Studdard. Through it all, Aiken’s loyal fans have stuck with him. We caught up with Aiken and asked him what his fans mean to him. (CLICK ON THE MEDIA BAR BELOW TO HEAR CLAY AIKEN)

When you visit the site to hear Clay's response, be sure and leave a comment to let the site know we enjoy reading information on Clay Aiken.

Clearwater, Florida was the home of the fourth concert from the Timeless Tour. The red reports coming in said that it was by far the best, most energetic and funniest concert of them all. According to audience members, people were on their feet, dancing, singing, and laughing throughout the show. Many reported that they thought that both Clay and Ruben enjoyed the responsive audience and made adjustments in the show to interact more with the audience.

One fan attended the three Florida concerts with her husband. She said that:

1. The acoustics were the very best last night

2. Clay is hilarious. He was bantering with the audience tonight

3. That golden voice was so awesome!!!

4. The man can dance and Rev Ruben didn't have anything to do with it. I can't wait for everyone to see this. He's got soul ya'll!! I always knew he could dance, but mah, mah, mah he is FUNKY dancing!!!

5. The man is too darn cute for words, and the voice is out of this world!

The pictures from Clearwater are wonderful too!
