Colorful Clay question |
Lead | |

How come Simon seemed to hate Clay so much on American Idol 2? Was Clay really that bad (but very popular regardless)?

Off-topic but similar question: Why did Simon hate Antony the Russian with an assholy throat? He wasn't that bad.

Clay was supposed to be cannon fodder but he was gaining popularity like crazy from the Wildcard show on and threatened the chosen winner, Ruben. Simon did everything he could to derail him.

Does anyone know if there is going to be a second season of American Idol Rewind? Or were the ratings too pitiful for the past seasons AI1 shows?
It's interesting to watch AI2 which I do on occasion. TPTB really jumped in promoting their agendas that season but I'm not sure it was so apparent back in the day. |

Simon had it in for Clay because he knew Clay would attract a bat shit crazy fan base.

Why did they declare Ruben the chosen winner during like top 32 round?
Shouldn't they have switched to Clay since he is considerably more popular? Its not like Clay wouldn't sell... |

So if Clay during his audition looked more like the Clay during top 12 to top 2 round, then the producers would be favoring him to win instead of Ruben?

Um, I think we all know why they wanted to derail Clay.

Good questions, fanofcoils. I wonder if we'll ever really know the answers.
Clay is doing just fine, though, despite his detractors. There's never been a voice to top his, for me. Personality, either. |

GIRLS SHOCKED TO DISCOVER CLAY AIKEN IS GAY
![]() Hollywood Middle school girls across America are tearing down posters, deleting online shrines, and changing their cell phone wallpaper after heartthrob Clay Aiken shocked the nation at last weeks Billboard Awards by revealing that he is a homosexual. The American Idol star and longtime fixture on the cover of Tiger Beat and Teen People made his first public acknowledgement that he is gay when he thanked his partner of 4 years, Brian, while accepting the best singer Award for his performance in the musical CyberQueers on Manhunt. After the news was posted online, tween girls started flooding message boards and chat rooms to discuss the devastating news about the star they refer to as Clay. Clay is so totally hot and sexy i cant believe he woud date a guy!!! 11 year-old Lindsay Elleman of Spokane, Wash. wrote on her blog. I always dreamed i would grow up to be like Kimberley Locke and he woud marry me. I have been crying all nite cuz I cant get all my Clay stickers off of my Trapper Keeper. 13 year-old Maria Nunez of El Paso, Texas, who runs a popular MySpace group called Clay HOTTIE Aiken, urged her members not to give up hope. Maybe this is our fault 4 not sending enuff letters to show Clay how totally sexy all us girls think he is, she wrote in a bulletin to the 1,782 members of her group. We all have to write him at least 2 e-mails a week telling Clay that we all luv him totally 4 ever so he doesnt have to be gay. Aiken declined to comment, but sources close to the star/stud told Dateline Hollywood that coming out was a tough decision, since he will likely see his income from posters, downloadable photos, and ringtones featuring his voice plummet. I think the breaking point was when People asked him to do a shirtless spread for the cover of their Hottest Bachelors issue, said the source. It was painful enough to deceive all those young girls, but he couldnt stand to become a heartthrob for all those adult women too. While many girls are still mourning the loss of their first crush, others are already moving on. We need to forget about Clay and find another cutie who will totally appreciate our luv, 12 year-old Amanda Riley wrote to the Clay Hottie Aiken members in response to Nunezs note. Has anyone seen that guy Sanjaya Malakar when your parents watch Idol? OMG he is so majorly HOT. Or maybe it was DHP |

I think Simon hated Clay so much because for Simon it's ALL about the image...he hated Kelly C too and even said so during the Hollywood auditions. The difference between Season 1 and Season 2 was that the producers probably realized how their comments affected the voters and therefore began their tendency to manipulate by their comments. Simon always seemed to acknowledge Clay's vocal abilities all while slamming him on some personal level. So those who voted on voice wouldn't be turned off completely all while "brainwashing" those who only want to vote for who is cool.
Personally I don't think they cared one bit if Clay or Ruben won...by mid season they knew what they were going to do, which is continue to pit them against eachother for as long as possible and regardless of who won, one fanbase would feel they had something to prove so it was a win/win for the label and the show. The one Simon really seemed to go after season 2 was Kim Locke cuz she was the girl who could upset their applecart and fuck up their vision of the showdown of the rabid fanbases. Simon even admitted to skewing his comments to garner the outcome he wanted during F3. Clay has done well for himself in spite of his oft maligned character.... His core fans have remained loyal and IMO he's shown himself to be a supportive and caring friend to Ruben and others from Idol. and I say good for him. |

Was Diana (season 3) supposed to be a watered down version of Clay?
Who's performances were better on Idol, Ruben or Fantasia? |

Did constantly bad mouthing Clay on the show hurt Simon's credibility?
I don't think it did. Why didn't it? |
