I will never understand why Clay is not "at this moment " on every bill board,every T-V and radio station.His pure Heart and Soul,those dreamy eyes.The voice that belongs in the music hall of fame.Clay I love every inch of You,I listen every day.You are a tremendous GIFT to this world !!!!!
He did not butcher this song whatsoever, and I have to agree he was the best ever on American Idol and has never been beaten in talent with his beautiful voice....
Thanks for posting. This has to be one of the finest voices to come along in the last fifty years. Extraordinary under unimaginable pressure. Like Lionel Ritchie I too am still in awe of this amazing voice, talent and remarkable person as well. Great going Clay and thanks for posting. Rick
Clay Aike , You performs so beautiful!!! I wished you would do a Concert IN HAWAII!! YOU ARE THE BEST OF THE BEST !!!! LIONEL RICHIE. IS SOOOO RIGHT! HE THOUGHT YOU WERE FANTASTIC. I did too! Ready for your concert!!! Blessings from Honolulu!!!
My husband passed away 10 years ago... in 2013....yeah id crawl thru glass and drink sand thru a straw to spend one more minute with him. Write a song about that..anybody.. it's universal probably for us that know we were loved.
Yes, I do remember when this song was played on "Family Ties," and I loved it then and still do. Clay Aiken has a beautiful voice and presence... He sang this song wonderfully." Thank you.
I don't know how Paula said he did not have passion in this song it was so emotional , could not be more passionate , she was not listening to the same song I was....
Im in the UK and I had never heard him before today, why is that?, he is a wonderful singer, he sings like Luther, very rare to have that sould voice in one so young, the music business is crazy
I think he sung this song so much better then the original and it was number one in it's day. He is the best of the best with every song.I had urgency plus, I don;t know what Paula and Randy were listening to but not what he was singing, only Simon was..
Clay Aiken and Adam Lambert is still the biggest wtf in TV history for me. Just a shame. They've both had good to great success but still a shame they didn't win. Lets hope America gets it right this time around.
I would love to hear him sing some of Whitney Houston songs! With that strong beautiful voice of his I'm sure he would kill them!! Sounds to me that he can sing any song !!! ❤️
It was determined the follow year that Clay actually won but he got so many votes, they jammed the phone lines and they were unable to count his votes. But he is 1 million times better than Ruben.

I still can't believe that he lost. I could listen all day
Clay can sing the phonebook and it would be #1 on the billboard charts.
This man has the most beautiful tone in his voice I have ever heard. I could just listen to him all day
He was one of the best contestants ever....
He did not butcher this song whatsoever, and I have to agree he was the best ever on American Idol and has never been beaten in talent with his beautiful voice....
He is still my favorite! Ever!
i was going throug a rough time in my life when this season was on......watching clay aiken sing.......brought me peace for that hour.
Incredible voice ..the power is unbelievable
Fantastic performance and the best song ever clay Aiken
Beautiful! I cant figure out why he did not win!❤️
He was the BEST ever to walk on the AI stage in ALL 11 Seasons. Clueless to this day HOW he didn't win!!
The Greatest ! I hope to see him in concert one day !!!

LIONEL RICHIE. IS SOOOO RIGHT! HE THOUGHT YOU WERE FANTASTIC. I did too! Ready for your concert!!! Blessings from Honolulu!!!
Miss Clay. My daughter and I went to see him 3 times
Saw him 2×
Loved the video! Clay was great as always and can't believe Simon had such a great comment for Clay, thank you Simon!!
Clay is angelic and such a kind person!
I love this song and with Clay singing it makes it that much more enjoyable..Love this guy!!!!!
Everything he touches turns into gold
My husband passed away 10 years ago... in 2013....yeah id crawl thru glass and drink sand thru a straw to spend one more minute with him. Write a song about that..anybody.. it's universal probably for us that know we were loved.

I loved that song choice and loved Clay's version.
Given the fact that I'm sitting here tingling from head to toe (bc of the richness of his voice) I agree with Simon here.
I would rise up from my seat and give you a standing ovation for your Talent!
Clay did PHENOMENALLY well! He is a gifted artist and I just love his humility and respectfulness! He is a rare and wonderful breed these days...
This was his best look of the entire show.
One of the most beautiful voices ever!!!
Awesome for Simon to be real and honest as a judge, also will never be another Judge like him either that tells it like it is
how in the heck did he NOT win the season he participated in? His pitch is perfect, his dynamics are spot on.
I'm still amazed he did not fall over when Simon said that. I still get goosebumps Clay. ❤
Love that Clay turns to the audience & says I love you. :) XOXO
He should have won American Idol hands down!
I have loved Clay, Kelly and Carrie as the top 3 best singers ever on American Idol...
Let's add Adam Lambert.
Bo Bice too
I love his version! Great job. :)
One of the best songs ever written.
@GWHIZist I so agree with everything you said...I listen to Clay everyday also...He is a tremendous gift to this world!!!!!!
Love you Clay AIken!!!!
one of the best singer..=)) love him..=))
he should of won this hands down.
I simply LOVE this guy!!!
i rooted for him and still one of his fans since day one
his voice is so oldy. love it.
I don't know how Paula said he did not have passion in this song it was so emotional , could not be more passionate , she was not listening to the same song I was....
Fantastic♥️♥️♥️🎵🎶🎶🎶🎵🎶!!!!!!
He is fantastic
I can watch Clay all day...
Can't go a day without hearing him sing, especially the word baby. No one sings it like Clay. ❤
When Idol was AMAZING. Clay now has grey hair-I love it!
still love him
CLAY AIKEN IS THE BEST ON IDOL
Que hombre mas sencillo que su belleza es la voz con la cual nos deleita y nos hace saber que estamos vivos con verdadero sentimiento para amar
love him so much.
Nice interpretation...!!!!
@boots61 so agree...If he sang the whole song, this CD would be selling like hot cakes!!!
I love how Clay's mouth dropped open. He's thinking crap, if Paula and Randy aren't giving me love, I can only imagine what Simon thought.
I will love this guy's singing forever amazing
I just get chicken skin all over everytime I listen to him sing....Aiken sing!!! (",)
Unchained Melody was his best performance, imho and he definitely should have won.
HE SHOULD HAVE "WON:
Next to Elvis, I think Clay is a close second in voice quality.
I agree with Simon. Clay could show off his highs and lows.
Im in the UK and I had never heard him before today, why is that?, he is a wonderful singer, he sings like Luther, very rare to have that sould voice in one so young, the music business is crazy
Incredible singer...
I think he sung this song so much better then the original and it was number one in it's day. He is the best of the best with every song.I had urgency plus, I don;t know what Paula and Randy were listening to but not what he was singing, only Simon was..
Clay Aiken and Adam Lambert is still the biggest wtf in TV history for me. Just a shame. They've both had good to great success but still a shame they didn't win. Lets hope America gets it right this time around.
Crystal Bowersox needs to be added to that list, but I do love Ruben. Adam was the biggest WTF, but now he's with Queen. 😊
I would love to hear him sing some of Whitney Houston songs! With that strong beautiful voice of his I'm sure he would kill them!! Sounds to me that he can sing any song !!! ❤️
He should have won.
Simon was right, that song was perfect!
Brilliant ! Shame it's such an edited version of this great song :-)
Love Clay Aiken!!!
i love clay aiken
gay
I loved Clay Aikane.
I agree. The best Idol ever. Where are you Ruben, where are you, has anyone seen him, lol.
It was determined the follow year that Clay actually won but he got so many votes, they jammed the phone lines and they were unable to count his votes. But he is 1 million times better than Ruben.
Tru Dat!
Clay and Ruben are doing a Christmas musical together now
Clay was a much better singer than Reuben even on a bad day!
i canot believe he did not win :(
Yes❤️❤️❤️
Rushed or not, (You better pull it off in just about a quick second) ~And that he did! I can't say I've ever heard Clay sing before this.
@MamaNissy yes, clay's such an angel...
Randy was a drummer, it would be interesting to hear him sing
🌸🎉🎉🌠🌼🌼
beautiful smile😅
Billy vera classic!!!!!
Clay is a wonderful performer. He was good here. Lionel and Simon were right.
SymphonyBrahms yep
A great Billy Vera and the Beaters big hit !
that clay aiken is amazing, they slate him ?
why oh why are they doing this , lionel is the man
i like it better by the original but damn this song is emotional
Lionel Richie is a musical genius!
Randy Jackson, Paula Abdul, Simon Cowell, with Lionel Ritchie. The pass of A.I. with the present of A.I. Who would of thought .
Clay you was" The Best"don't listen him
@EveryoneLovesToSing Oh hell yeah...I so agree to that!!!!

I have a chrush on clayaiken 🌹 🌹 ahuge chrush
I agree with Simon. The other judges were full of shit. Great song, sung great... so what's the problem?
Simon I do not totally dislike you because you complimented Clay. At least you know your music.
So Lionel Richie was a guest judge back then. Im surprised..
👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Yeh, you can almost see that shark...jumping...but hey, a powerhouse that Clay Aiken....
(but I've always been a hag....)
OMG
I don't think Paula is stupid but she sure sounds like it most of the time.
+Kenneth Mills who cares she is still very doable.
She’s a pill head
simon wasn't randy's dawg when he said that hahahaha
I totally agree with Randy's comment @2:09...Clay definitely can blow!
