Ack Put the cellcert in the wrong thread. I'm so dumb. LOL ::)
-
The theater from the outside looks awful. But the inside is amazing. We were in the lobby and heard him singing....
Clapping and laughter, sounds like it's starting.
All is Well.
Crowd is enthusiastic. They just laughed as Christmas Waltz was starting. Heard Clay say "Thank you sir" and didn't catch what he said after that.
"Merry Christmas, New York!"
Telling story about how respectful Southern crowds are all, but northern crowds are so hyped.
So honored to be here tonight!
Doesn't feel like the holiday unless I'm doing this show.
Remembers going to church a lot during the holidays - and by a lot, I mean a *LOT*.
Talks about loving Martina McBride's version of O Holy night. She sang the holiness out of that song. When she sang it, it Was a holy night!
A few songs from the Baptist Hymnal 250 - 280.
O Holy Night.
Away in a Manger/Little Town of Bethlehem/Silent Night
Hark The Herald Angels Sing/O Come All Ye Faithful
First fan story.

Welcome To Our World
-
Hi Tiffany - sorry I am late but this has been a busy day.
-
This started earlier than I thought - I'm REAL late
-
Hey Barb, It's ok and sorry I was wrong on the time. Started at 7. At least you are here for the 2nd half. :)
-
Up tempo medley -Most Wonderful Time - Sleigh ride - Jingle Bells- Most wonderful Time (Most! Wonderful! Time!) - Winter Wonderland
-
Second fan story.waiting for son to come home from Afghanistan - first year that all nine in the family had not been together..

Asking a fan about her binoculars. Telling about fly being undone last night.
Did Celebrity Apprentice last year. Didn't end well did it. America's Number one Number Two.
Seeing occasional guys in the audience. They get dragged to show by wife. Other night guy said he wanted to come because of Celebrity Apprentice.
Talking to guy with wife AND mother-in-law. "So you are having a blast!"
Found a woman who got dragged to show by husband.
-
Hi Tiffany. Is Barbara here too. Ive been wrapping presents since I got home from church.
-
Yep - I was late but I am here
-
No cheat sheets on the floor tonight!
Incredible theatre. Taking pics all day to text and show friends. Absolutely gorgeous theatre.
Showing look that fans in front row give whenever he misses lyrics. But he's doing well tonight. Asking who's a good caroler.
Talking to Cheryl from Staten Island. Not a singer. "Oh, this is going to be fun." She's an artist. She asked for a dance. He's doing WAYDNYE. Ben is playing something random.
Awww How sweet.
Hey Marlene, Yes she is here.
-
Made contest harder tonight. The prize is in Ben's pocket (either in Ben's right or left pocket). Other pocket has a consolation prize. She has to sing the whole song tonight.
It Came Upon A Midnight Clear. Audience can help a bit since it's tough. She says she's half Jewish. Clay said she can sing half a song. Ben's all Jewish; he's going to play the crap out of this song.
-
He said we want you to lose; she said "why, because you always lose?" Clay said that was clever. She did Deck The Halls. Giving her the chance to pick from Ben's pocket. Choosing left - you have a chance to win $20 million - fresh lottery ticket bought today.
-
You're not in trouble, let me talk to your friend. Oh, it's a video camera. Well that's okay then.
Give orchestra a round of applause.
-
Well looks like I missed a big portion of it. Have you been to main tonight? Sunny also saw the flutiest put his fingers in his ears Too funny. I thought maybe I only imagined it since you all didn't say anything.
-
The First Noel
-
Marlene-Just watched a little bit of the clack from last night but I didn't see it. How rude. LOL
-
I' REFERING TO SOMETHING THAT HAPPENED AT THE DPAC. TIFFANY. VERY STRANGE.
-
I didn't see it but you told me about it. I haven't watched any clack yet. I hope someone has good video from the DPAC because I would love to make a DVD of it.
-
Whoops I see. Oh the seats last night sounded like the Hammerstein in NY a little bit. Was folding chairs on the floor.
-
Scarlett has clack of Durham but not everything. I like to save the audio for my concert.
-
Faye's Christmas memory.
I'll Be Home For Christmas
-
I don't know why Donald Trump didn't build a showroom in his casino. Sounds what they had last night was more for boxing matches, etc.
-
Right before Clay hit one of his high loud notes the male flutiest put his flute in his lap and then put his fingers in his ear. I was telling my DH about it yesterday and he said he could have had a hearing problem and might have been wearing hearing aids Loud noises drive my husband nuts when his aids are in.
-
Chestnuts Roasting (The Christmas Song)/Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas
-
Marilyn and her sister Sally are there tonight, right?
-
Agreed Barb. I know Kelly Clarkson has played there before. It is was more like a concert venue. I remember Clay played another hotel there during the JBT. Not sure how big that was comparing.
Marlene-Could be anything. JUst hope he didn't think Clay was too loud.
No Marilyn's next concert is Thursday. Couldn't go to this one.

It's 7:30 on Tuesday with the next show. When he is in the midwest and west coast it will be later but there isn't really that many.
-
Contest to pronounce Joe's last name.
"Absolutely not" "But nice try"
Clay pronounced it. "I've ruined the game but I wanted you to know that I know it.") - sounds like the C is silent in the name.
Sounds like he is giving up on that game. LOL
-
DID SPELLING OF JOE'S NAME. SHE MESSED IT UP BUT CLAY SAID HOW TO SAY IT RIGHT. DEMMIT, I KNEW HOW TO SAY IT!!
SOMEONE TOLD HIM THIS IS HIS 105TH CHRISTMAS SHOW.
HE SAID HE HAS LEARNED A LOT ABOUT HIMSELF BUT HE HAS LEARNED A LOT ABOUT US TOO!! SAID HE IS SO PROUD OF HOW WE ARE
-
It's 7:30 on Tuesday with the next show. When he is in the midwest and west coast it will be later but there isn't really that many.

-
GOOD NIGHT NEW YORK
MERRY CHRISTMAS
-
HERE HE COMES
ALL YEAR LONG
-
GOODNIGHT CLAY!!
-
Talking about how close the seats were last night. The concert I last saw where I am seeing Clay the seats were close together but they are leveled but close so it wasn't that much leg room. Hope it isn't the case this time. Been a few years since I have been there. But you can touch the stage. ;D He probably can't sit on stage for the last song.
-
HE WALKED ALL THE WAY TO THE BACK OF THE AUDIENCE TO THE PEOPLE WAY BACK THERE WHEN HE WAS SINGING ALL YEAR LONG.
CELLCERTER SAID HE WAS AMAZING.
HE DANCED WITH THE LADY WHO SANG THE SONG LYRICS

DANCERMOM@CV
Yes we are home. DH is totally exhausted...I think emotionally and he's tired from driving. I think Clay was in better voice tonight at Staten Island and the orchestra was way better than last nights too. The acoustic were amazing inside a theater that just makes your jaw drop. Outside it looks like a the place the Zombies would come out of but inside is a jewel of a theater. On the orchestra level though they had a total of 3 stalls in the women's restroom. UGH! DH took pics of that too. He took a lot of pictures but I am not going to press him to get it up quickly. There were a lot that we looked at and totally drooled and sighed over after the show.
He was funny tonight. The funniest was when he was talking about the purple Christmas tree and the kermit the frog bowl that was on the table...(which it wasn't it was on the piano) and then corrected himself to say piano, and then a sentence later it was back to being on a table again when it hadn't moved from the piano. That whole thing was soooo funny. The girl trying to sing the song was hilarious. She also got to dance with him....held really close. Where is that shuttle again???
This theater had a "pit" I guess you could say with maybe 8 rows of real theater seats. Then behind that was an area that was about 5 steps up (with my broken foot I was really noticing steps let me tell you) with another level in the orchestra that they had like banquet hall chairs in rows. For "All Year Long" instead of just walking a little way into the pit area he totally went up those steps into the other orchestra area. They were thrilled. I am now batting 0 for 2 though. Last night he went Left and I was in the way center in that horrible Trump arena and all I saw was a spotlight and maybe the top of his hair. Tonight I was near that side in the theater and what does he do? He goes Right. Ah well... it sounds so beautiful. At least tonight I could see him!
He did mention that while he understood why Clay used the stories...the 2nd show they got a little tiresome to listen to. I think if you are only seeing one show it should be fine when I look at how DH is reacting. He was okay with it in AC but tonight he was sort of eh about it. The NJU would not be going to more than 1 show so they really should be okay with it.

ONECAT AT CV
Home from Staten Island and a fabulous, fabulous concert.
I'm so glad I went, though the theater is a total schlep to get to from .. almost anywhere really.
Clay was in luverly limber voice and I was quite shocked at how deeply mellow he can get. I've really missed hearing him live.
The Jewish carol singer was a total riot -- she and Clay had great comedy act going. She did a great little victory dance after conning him into dancing with her --- I hope it's all caught on Clack.
Welcome to My World is my ultimate favorite Clay song now. Just that one song made the ticket price and all the schlepping to get there worth it. I am a happy camper.
Dunno how big the crowd was, but it sure sounded big. There were a LOT of Staten Islanders there.
I don't know whether anyone's noticed, but Clay Aiken is a handsome man. :

DEEMER AT CV
once again I'm glad I'm not as well-behaved a goody-two-shoes as I used to be ( Hopefully still good). Both at Atlantic City and tonight in Staten Island abandoned my actually purchased seating and sat in part of row that was empty, until I would get kicked out == but I didn't either time. At Atlantic City, that brought me way closer to the center (one row was practically empty, about row 7, for some reason) than my off-in-the-hinterlands OFC presale seat and tonight it put me in the front row on the side. I had 2nd row seat, just sat one row ahead of my actual seat (very end seat). I guess some scalper was eating his payment, serves them right for taking 1st row seats away from fans! Not that I'm advocating bad behavior, but Clay shouldn't have to see empty seats in the first row...
since I was soooooooo close to the start of "All Year Long" (I hear I'm in goldarngirl's vid, not Scarlett's tho), I'll let you know that as he comes down the stars he clicks his heal back on the stair. Maybe this is this is to keep his footing in the dark? He definitely seems to have each step paced with the lyrics, maybe he has practiced where to be at each new line? Seemed like he was pacing it very distinctly. I was definitely hoping he didn't trip on those too long pants. BTW he has those brown half boot shoes on at this point. Farouche will be glad to know those pants looked flawlessly pressed. Not a wrinkle in sight.
