Has been a hot topic the last few weeks. There is nothing wrong with Clay dancing, with Angela, or any one for that matter. Clay was entertaining us! Nothing more. he was showing his versatility! I'm sure there are a FEW people that will object, but the ones that don't object far outweigh the ones that do.

Clay being the wonderful gentleman that he is will probably pull the dance from the show rather than offending anyone.I don't think he would have done it in the first place if he thought it would be offensive.If it's not kept in the show alot of people will be disappointed!

I remember when Elvis could only be photographed from the waist up!

Clay, keep dancing, keep singing, keep entertaining us all! You make us feel young again. We have waited for you for a very long time!

NOTHING WRONG WITH THE DANCE - After reading all the detailed descriptions of every thrust and grind - the lechery accompanying every movement since the concert tour began, I was not looking forward to seeing it. I went to the Chicago concert and was fortunate enough to get row 2 seats, practically sitting on the stage. (Clay was almost close enough to touch) When WDC started and was happening directly in front of me, I was immediately uncomfortable so decided to really scutinize it to see if what everyone has been talking about was true. I watched during the interaction with Angela to see if I could see space/light between their 2 bodies. 98% of the time there was. They weren't even touching! I would imagine that if you were sitting farther back from the stage than two  rows it might look like they were bumping & grinding. Even all the blurry, grainy videos we are told to download, because they are -HOT HOT HOT - might make it look like more than it is. BUT IT IS NOT! Clay was having fun, but it was obvious to me he didn't want to take it any farther. Even some of the BLPT gals I went to the concert with admitted, "Clay must have known Gramma was here." A few days ago I read a newpaper review from OMAHA. That reporter rated the 'bump & grind' G-rated. That's exactly what I would rate it too. I think it's a case of being grossly over exaggerated by imaginative minds.

Another point of view - I watched the downlaod from Chicago and Gramma is right - it wasn't all that hot (maybe he DID know you were in the audience, Gramma!) BUT other performances of this have bee MUCH hotter and sexier (DC and Wlikes Barre come to mind).  I have been to 2 concerts, with a 3rd coming up and in one (Philly) the dance was a little hot and in one (Wilkes Barre) the dance was a lot hotter - until Clay totally lost all composure when Angela shimmied down him!  He was laughing so hard he almost fell over!

I think at its hottest ths dance is PG, maybe a very mild R.  AND THERE IS NOTHING WRONG WITH THAT!!!  The vast majority of the audience seems to LOVE it.  If a few are disturbed by it, I say so be it.  He can't please everyone.  As long as he's comfortable with it (which I am sure he is or he wouldn't be doing it!) then that should be all that matters.  He wants to please the majority of his audience, and he is.  Clay is a nice, sincere, well mannered man.  He is also a 25 year old man - a NORMAL 25 year old man (if you get my drift!).  He is not immune to sexual desires.  He is not immune to sexy innuendo.  He is not immune to "bathroom" humor.  There is a now infamous picture of Clay with some friends and they are all wearing giant condoms on their heads.  Clay has a sign that says "Even my hand rejects me"!  Now, some of the people offended by Clay's dance at its hottest may also be offended by that picture, but obviously Clay found it funny or he wouldn't have gone out in public like that nor have his picture taken like that!  Let's not try and turn Clay into some kind of chaste saint who on not capable of anything even remotely sexual.  HE IS A NORMAL 25 YEAR OLD MAN! It isn't fair to Clay to impose impossible standards on him.

Just my opinion.

OMG I cannot believe I'm reading this.  I'm glad I stayed away from a lot of the concert talk until I actually saw the concert last week.  I've downloaded the "aforementioned" performances and I think they are great.  He obviously got reaction from the crowd indicating the majority love the performances - including WDC.  I know in St. Louis we were all screaming EVERY time he danced. 

Clay is a performer.  He knows what most of us want to see.  Please don't put him on a pedastal like some people put Brittany Spears and other celebs.  They are human.  And please don't make him afraid to do anything in public.  God knows the man already has to watch it when he goes for milk.

The photo is no joke.  It was taken pre-AI back in his college days.  I am not sure what the occasion was (although I am sure someone could tell you) and he was there with some friends and they all had the giant condoms on their heads with funny signs. It was taken at some restaurant where they were all hanging out!  It was a picture of a normal college kid having fun!  The fact that you say it doesn't sound like something he would do just goes to show we, his fans, don't really know him that well.  Some have just created this vision of him as so chaste and pure that anything normal is considered shocking!  To me that is placing too much of an unfair burden on him.  He is a NORMAL 25 year old.  Let him be normal!  I will see if I can find the picture floating around the net and post it.

First CJRMAX pm's to find the picture, then she asks me to post the picture. The picture does indeed exist. It is NOT photoshop and the condom on his head does say my hand rejects
me.   :   :   :

 
As for the dance, there's a Slaughter song that sums it up well. "Come on and dance for me baby won't you show me a little action."

Boy that can move his hips like that shouldn't have to wear a chastity belt.  Would we be offended knowing that Clay poops? I think not. Why should we be offended knowing that he is a sexual being? It's allllllllllll human nature people.

To dance, to breathe, to poop, to love, to laugh, to cry, it all comes from the same place. Well not exactly the same place.   :

And besides didn't any of you see Footloose????? Watch learn, "To leap and dance joyfully before tlhe lord... was a quote used in the movie from the bible. Dancing is OTAY!

Kudos to gramma! for being bold enough to say something about the 'dance' that needed to be said for some time. I have been browsing this board for awhile and have posted a few times under GUEST. I've read all the accounts of the dance and seen all the video downloads. I've smiled at the hot, hot hot, or I can't breathe, or hyperventilate posts.

RIGHT ON gramma!

I've been lucky enough to go to 3 concerts, Chicago, Omaha, & St Lake City. I have some connections so have also been blessed with very good 1-2 row seats at each of those concerts. Clay's 'bump & grind' (as I've seen it referred to a few times) just ISN'Tthe hot sexy dance everyone's making it out to be. He's playful, having fun, but certainly not bumping, grinding or thrusting! Perhaps if you are sitting at an angle or farther back than rows 1 or 2, it might look like more than it is, but as gramma said  "there's light between the bodies". No contact . . .  I believe that Angela might have taken it too far at one concert and Clay realised it. Since the Chicago concert he seems to be backing off. I suspect he's doing some rethinking of that dance.  The latest newspaper reviews I've read do consider it very G-rated. He wants to please his fans, but also has his own integrity to maintain. Just because he's a 25 old man with normal desires, doesn't mean he wants to or has to act on them. He's always been very clear about his image. Why can't we as fans respect that?! Sure Clay is sexy. To me, that sexiness radiates from the man inside - wholesome, clean-cut and moral. I don't need him to bump & grind his way across a stage to validate his sexiness.

The picture was taken at a Myrtle Beach restaurant called Dick's Last Resort.  The 'condom hats' are paper bags.  It's part of their shtick.

Quote
A big hit with visitors of all ages is Dick's Last Resort. Located at Barefoot Landing, it features surly waiters who bark at you, tell you what to order, throw your cutlery at you and even tell you how much to tip. But it's all in good fun ...you're free to join in the sparring with a few barbs of your own but be prepared for Dick's punishment: You'll have to wear a condom-shaped paper hat for the duration of your dinner
.


As far as the dancing, I choose to trust Clay.  I have no doubt that if he had a problem with it, he wouldn't do it.  If he will take the word 'damned' out of a song, he would not dance with Angela if he was uncomfortable with it.  But he does do it, he does it well and he enjoys it.  And that's what makes it sexy to me.

CJRMAX,

I agree with you 100%.  Why should Clay's dance be scrutinized at all.  He is an entertainer and he knows when he sings When Doves Cry and goes into his dance with Angela that the crowd is going to scream and cheer the loudest.  Clay knows exactly what he is doing.  Yes, he is a normal 25 yr. old with sexual desires.  His morals haven't changed and he hasn't displayed anything out of the ordinary to disprove that.  He is having fun.
I believe he has lived more of a sheltered life than most guys his age.  He is finding out a lot about people and himself as he performs on these tours.  I am sure having Kelly for a roommate has opened his eyes to a lot of things he never experienced before.  Remember, though, he did have a female roommie at College and also shares a house with Kimberly Locke, so he is quite comfortable around females.  If Clay ever thought he offened anyone in his audience, he would be totally upset.  At the same time, I think he is tired of a lot of people thinking he isn't masculine enough.

Pamela summed up my feelings about "the dance" to a tee. I trust Clay.
I agree whole heartedly that if he had a problem with it - he wouldn't be doing it at all. It is so obvious that he is having fun with it.

He's come a long way as a performer on the live stage. It's good to see him spreading his wings and trying different things. I would have been disappointed if all I saw from him was just standing there belting out his songs without injecting his personality into his show. But, he is - and it is obvious he is comfortable doing just that.

I choose to give him credit for knowing his own mind and being his own person.

No disagreement here! I believe gramma's issue was not the dance, but the fact that everyone's making a bigger deal of it than it is! What is a simple 'having fun' and 'spreading wings' as a performer song has developed into something full of lust & lechery thru overly active imaginations by his fans! I quote Pamela's "let Clay be Clay'. He enjoys performing. He's stretched abit with WDC and shown us a new side of Clay. Of course, he's intelligent and will take it only as far as he feels comfortable that isn't in question. I saw the dance 3 times up close and he does just that - takes it just so far and no further. Don't over emphasize or exaggerate something that isn't there, that doesn't show respect.

Thank you Pamela for your explanation of the 'condom' picture. That answers alot of questions doesn't it. 8) I figured there was a logical reason for Clay to have a 'condom' on his head. Now I know it's nothing  more than a big paper bag and was the 'schtick' at a local restaurant.

As far as the making a big deal about the dance?  The big deal is this - think about a year ago when Clay was making those cute little dance moves while singing Grease in a red jacket.

Now, think about WDC.   8)   What a difference a year makes!

In a good way.

Everyone is definitely right about what a difference a year makes. However Clay is still the same wonderful, warm hearted young man we all fell in love with on AI2. He has grown as an entertainer and probably as a person as well in the past year.

He never fails to entertain us! It doesn't matter if he's  being interviewed, on TV , singing, or appearing in print. We all can't get enough of this young man called Clay Aiken.

Every time we see him , we all can't wait until the next time. Hopefully for "us" this will continue for years to come. Hopefully he won't decide, he doesn't want anyone to know how much milk he buys, who he goes with or what kind of car he drives.

The fans loved Elvis, but made it impossible for him to live a normal life. He wound up being a prisoner of his own success. We love Clay too much for that. I read a quote tonight from last weeks People Magazine. He said something to the effect of, They just want to make sure I'm healthy, and tuck me in. That is exactly how I feel.... I want the same sense of well being  for him that I want for my son,grandson and great-grandson.

I am soooooo glad I visited this thread!  I was recently reading a personal
review on a fan's concert experience.  She said that during the dance
Clay and Angela were sharing intimate, meaningful looks.  This upset me.
I began to loose respect for OMC.  I never thought he would publicly
display sincere affection - especially in front of thousands of fans.
Somehow, a romantic relationship with Angela does not seem appropriate to me.  I guess I'm old fashion.  I would love to see him with Kelly, though.
I hope what this person saw was another exaggeration experienced in the excitement of the moment.  After reading this thread I feel that maybe I should re-think my loss of respect for OMC and put all this out of my head.
Reading what everyone here has said about the dance and the individual
interpretations of it and it's meaning, has put things into prospective for me. I don't have the time to post too often because I am at work ---
it is easier for me to lurk without getting caught.  This is something that has really bothered me.

Hey, Leslie!
It never hurts to step back and take another look at something - you know - to maybe see another perspective. This subject is a good example.
Reading other people's points of view could very well bring something to light that you might not have thought about before. Glad you are re-thinking this one.....

Good grief...is this discussion still going on?

From my standpoint, each individual is going to see what they are going to see.  Some fans feel quite maternal towards Clay, and some fans feel more of an attraction towards Clay.  And, so it goes.  There is absolutely no "right or wrong" when it comes to this subject. 

I, for one, believe that the decision (dance limits)  should remain with the performer(s). Clay is apparently having fun with the WDC dance or he would not include it in his show.  He is doing nothing wrong at this point, so lets trust his judgement, per say.  Clay is in control, and he has the intellect to wear that "control hat".  Fear not, OMC will never be a Justin Timberlake. He is exceptionally talented and very smart.  Think about it!  Clay is in the drivers seat (career), and he knows exactly where he wants to drive....trust is the key.

Personally, I think that Clay is very  sexy and handsome. I have been quite taken with his looks & sensuality since American Idol2.  The amazing VOICE will be, and always has been, the major drawing point.  But, it is impossible to ignore the reality of "how good looking this guy is".  So, I don't try.  Sometimes, when I look at a picture of Clay....I simply step back and "drink in" his gorgeous self.   So, I will confess to the fact that, yes, I admire the pictures, montages, videos, and everthing else Clay related.  To the hilt, I must add.  And, why do I enjoy him?  Because I can and I want to.  I am a woman, he is a man.  And, so it goes!  He is not the first performer to create "certain feelings" in his fans, and he will certainly not be the last.  Admiring Clay puts a smile on my face, and a happy feeling in my heart.  Works for me!! 8)

In reference to the so called Hot Dance.  For some it is "hot", and for others it is "not".  So be it!  It is a matter of choice, and we are privy to a difference of opinion.  Clay appears to be creating a feast for the imagination with this dance, and it is up to the individual whether or not you care to indulge in the offerings.   Frankly, I like what I see.....or to put it in a better light.....what I "think" that I see.  The imagination is a wonderful tool, and I am grateful to see that mine is still in tip top working order after all of these years.  Thanx Clay, baby!

In summation, some fans may feel that Clay is compromising his "clean cut and wholesome image" by performing WDC in a sensual vein.  I, for one, do not see it that way.  If anything, I believe that Clay Aiken is the ambassador of anti-raunch.  He is portraying his sexuality in a natural and appealing manner.  He provides just enough, through his musical expression,  to ingnite the imagination....and the results are quite lovely, indeed.  And, all the while, Clay is remaining true to himself and keeping it pretty tame compared to the current music performance standards.  He is a good living and moral individual.  But, he does not claim to be asexual.  And, we should not expect him to be.  Afterall, he is Clay Aiken (the man), not Barney (the purple dinasaur).  As Christie said "Lets not try to turn Clay into some kind of chaste saint who is incapable of anything remotely sexual - he is a normal 25 year old man - it is not fair to impose impossible standards on him".  Righty Oh, CJ - could not agree with you more!

The voice is #1.  But, in essence, I enjoy "all of him", sensual self included.  Lets just say....I like him, I love him, and I want some more of him!!!!!  Simply stated: agree to disagree.

Clay has repeatedly said that his biggest goal is to be a role model for the young.  To give them an alternative way to be cool, rather than shock and nudity.  He is very aware of and embraces this responsibility. 

With WDC, he is showing them that everyone has a sensual side, but you choose how you display it and what you do with it.   He is telling all those youngsters who are bombarded with sexual advertising/performances daily that what's important is your choices on what to do with that sexuality.

It's the teacher coming out in him.  Gotta love that man!!!!

Ms. HipShake,

I agree with you 100%.  I have always said, Clay knows what he is doing, He knows what his audience likes and wants and he is giving it to them 100%.  Some concerts may show the WDC dance a little hotter than others, but perhaps he can feel the vibes from the audience.  I think he and Angela are prepared for a more conservative way and the sensual way.  I prefer the sensual, even though I haven't been lucky enough to see that complete side of him, I did witness "the dance" in Worcester, Ma.
I can only say, that the description of the Sacramento dance sounds like the hottest he and Angela have ever done.  Go Clay!  Why shouldn't he feel like a normal man of 25!  After all, if these, I can't even say the word, adio shows won't play his music, then he will hopefully get the millions of people across the country to buy his CD's and go to his performances.  How else can he put himself out there, so to speak.  Whatever it takes, he has got it!  I love whatever he has!

:D All I can say is Yum-Yum!  I love the dance and everything else about the boy and his concert performances.  He gives just enough to entice the imagination and then stops it before it becomes dirty.  That is so much sexier, to me, than showing it all.  He certainly has become a man!  It's been fun to watch over the last few months.  And, he has become very, very comfortable on stage and has much more rythym than ever...he's a great dancer now!

(Sorry, I am a little short on words!  It has only been 36 hours since I was Clayed in Seattle and my mind is still mush!)  I just love the hunk!  Sue G.

Caramel, it's never been said whether Angela is married or not.  She has a four-year old son, I have met him.

That must have been what that person meant about a relationship with Angela not being appropriate, while one with Kelly would be. 

There is absolutely no other reason in this day and age!  :?
