Clay Aiken Drops New Album “On My Way Here” May 6

Clay Aiken’s new album On My Way Here is set to drop May 6. It was produced by Kipper, best known for his work with Sting and Chris Botti. According to Billboard, “The album will likely include the title track and a song called ‘Ashes’ but no other details about the project have yet been made available.”
However, this congrats from the Treehouse Music Group, reveals that Ryan Tedder, from One Republic (the hit “Apologize”)  who recently collaborated with Blake Lewis on his CD, co-wrote the title track, “On My Way Here”…



catdog, you’re right. Its what I was saying too, you just used fewer words
Clay is remarkably natural in the cover photo. He looks just as good at the Stage Door every day.

Lol, undecided. We see what we want to see. I think your photo proves my point.
It is routine for celebrities to get airbrushed.
Check out the Portfolio at this touch-up here:
They shaved at least 35 lbs. off Kelly Clarkson’s fat rear-end….and there are quite a few other “transformations”.
It’s just what they do to promote a “product”. It is just business.
No surprise to me, they all do it. I like the cover. I am looking forwar to hearing the music.
Don’t like it? Don’t buy it. simple.
“I”…for one… will definitely be buying it.
I can hardly wait.
That wasn’t the point about airbrushing ^^^^^ if you were following along someone actually said that the cover was almost natural and posted a very bad example for comparison. Nobody was bashing anyone here so no need to bash Kelly asshe wasn’t being spoken about at this juncture. Seriously now, no wonder this crap doesn’t die. No need to call in reinforcements, it wasn’t necessary. We can talk about what we want to here!
Heard some song snippets which piqued my curiosity.
The lyrics of the Tedder song are intriguing and
I can see why Clay was drawn to that song.
The cover is quite fine. Clay is very handsome
and I am glad he is sticking with the blonde hair
which is much closer to his natural color.
I am hoping for a mix of tempos on this album.
The RCA mandated album had too much of the same
style and tempo.
Yes we can talk about what we want and any talk about photo editing and airbrushing has to naturally include Kelly. The My December promo shots and CD cover take the prize for most artificial and manipulated appearance in the history of airbrushing. They shaved off at least 40 pounds and that is no exaggeration. They gave her hair extensions, flawless make up, flattened her belly, stretched her legs to make her taller, reshaped her round face and lengthened her arms and torso. She was unrecognizable compared to her real self when they got through with her.
THIS is Absolutely NOT going to turn into one of THOSE threads. If you’ve never posted here before read my Guidelines:

I DON’T tolerate childish fanwars here. Inciting one will get you BANNED.
And please don’t admonish the posters here. If someone doesn’t like Clay’s music they are entitled to their opinion.
LOL! Why? Like the poster said, all the celebrities get airbrushed, including all the Idols, why single out Kelly?
Ya all have been warned. Once.
ALL album covers go through airbrushing. Carrie’s CD covers, for as gorgeous as she is are heavily airbrushed. I went by the stagedoor for Clay two weeks ago, nothing wrong with his looks at all, but that cover is heavily enhanced.
I think it’s a nice cover. I’m hoping the song, “Back For More,” is on this album. It’s a great, radio, friendly song. It isn’t like they are going to put out any money to promote him on the radio anyway, but, it’s worth a wish.

That cover art does nothing but add more fuel to the gay rumors for him.
Great CD cover. I’m sure it will do well. I plan on buying it because I think Clay has one h*ll of a great voice.
Moving on . . . :thumbup_tb:
mj……..my sincerest apologies if I offended anyone…especially you.
I only pointed out Kelly as she was the only Idol on that page and it was one of the more extreme examples on that site. I bear no ill will towards Kelly Clarkson. She works hard and deserves her success.
This is an Idol blog so I thought that particular comparison would be more relevent. For an example, I wouldn’t think if someone said something like “they hid Clay’s big ears behind his hair”, that he was being bashed -they would just be stating a fact.
FWIW……I did read the rules….I am new to posting here…but far from new to reading. I am just explaining my line of thinking as I see it’s intent was possibly misinterpreted.
I do think there are quite a few “digs” at Clay here….as in the “Barry Manilow’s son” comment, the gay rumors quip and the “plastic surgery to look more like a woman” questioning, that seem more like fire fuel than anything else, but yet my comment which was based on clear fact was singled out. These are just used for comparison to my post. I have nothing against these posters. It’s just to show why I am left a little confused.
Anyway, thanks for the warning. I appreciate your blog and will be extremely careful in the future.
Criticizing Clay in the comments of a post where the topic is Clay? Allowed
Complaining about the fact that Clay is being criticized in the comments of said post? Not Allowed
Calling your fellow posters “liars”? (Don’t go looking for it peeps, I edited the offensive line out of that post) TOTALLY not allowed.
Bashing another Idol (who isn’t the subject of the post in any way) in order to “get back” at fans who are bashing YOUR favorite Idol? Absolultely NOT ALLOWED
Is that clear? Thank you.
Yes, but I have seen Clay with my own eyes 2 feet in front of me and his skin is flawless.
And adding: he is very handsome with a stunning profile.
Oh Lord, I just saw this thread and I think I may be a closet claymate. God help me. I always wind up defending his ass and I have seen him in person twice and he really is quite handsome in an oddly quirky way and ’sides, his voice transcends everything else. Gay, straight, doesnt matter, the boy can sing. Thats all I care about and he fascinates me. I have no idea why, maybe its cause I also had no idea he was so tall and he’s quite funny. A lot of self deprecating humor.
That’s a great looking photo to use. Much better than most CD covers I have seen in recent years. He really is a very attractive man with some great features. Can’t wait to hear the CD. The couple of songs I have already heard pieces of are really good. Thrilled to see that Lover All Alone will be on it. It’s about time more people will discover that song that was hidden. Now if only it would be one released and possible qualify for some awards that it deserves.
Sure… he has a great voice… if you like the sound of rhinos copulating. “Gay Achin” 3.0 needs to do a movie sequel to brokeback mountain. According to Billboard.com’s top 100 list he has sold almost as many albums as there are pages in a Dr. Seuss book. …and he has even been quoted saying “if I was invisible”… wait… he already is. BOOO! Clay sucks more than a 40 pound leech on a pair of elephant testicles. Oh well I guess if you are a minority with no taste and a desire to listen to gay people sing then… more power to ya Clay fans.
