Hi-- back from a great concert.

Clay was so on tonight. His hair was beautiful and seemed to be his more his natural color -- red.

I am guessing around 4700+ attended. I scanned the crowd and watched people as they came into the venue. Definitely a predominantly female crowd tonight. However, the men that were there were "digging" it. I saw various men's faces on the screens and they were singing along and bobbing their heads. I also noticed a lot of young women tonight --age appropriate for Clay.

On one of the songs either UM or Solitaire he was working that mic. Walla would have been pleased. Solitaire and BOTW were so spine tingling that I felt my body was there but my emotions and feelings were on another plateau. I was so proud of Clay. When he was singing BOTW, I thought how far he has come. He just sang that song out of the park - perfect, perfect, perfect. I was in awe of him and his performances tonight.

I LOVED WDC. I think the dancing was great but not "over the top" -- just right. His vocals on that song also so impressive.

His banter, wit, stage charisma are only matched by people who have been in the business decades longer than Clay. He is the consumate performer -- giving his all and sharing the spotlight with his very gifted backup singers. Quiana's IWALY was breathtaking. She deserved the standing O.

From where I was sitting, I would classify the response for Solitaire and BOTW as standing O's. THis is such a high energy show and people are already standing for a good portion of the show therefore after a single particular song there is no reason to get up as the fans already are. I will say for the most part, people sat for most of the ballads but immediately sprung up for the uptempo songs.

I did not notice any tugs on invisible. If there were it was while he was turned and perhaps it was not caught on camera but from where I sat I did not see any. Crowd was really into Invisible.

Mandy was beautiful and at the end I would have loved to be in the first row and the receipient of that eyeboink.

I loved BFM as did the crowd - pumping their arms. If that is not a radio hit then I smell a rat. I loved the melody on 1000Days but could not make out the words. I personally would have liked the band to be a little softer on this song.

All in all, a great performance.

If Clay Aiken wants this career to span decades, there is no way it will not happen for him -- the consumate performer.

Oh and last but not least, beautiful black pants of perfection will surely cause me to have sweet dreams tonight.
