This is one of my favorite Clay performances - impeccable , every note . He now OWNS this song and made it his own . He looks so handsome here, too - I hate his new hairstyle and color , but will always love the man's great voice .

Can't we all just get along? I am neither a young girl or an old gay, I am an African American female who enjoys all genres of music- esp.Gospel,R&B,oldies & pop when its good & anything Clay sings is GOOOODDDD! In fact,its better than good, its MARVELOUS!! Maybe deep down,you like it too.Don't fight it!!

I'm high on life, my friend! Happy that I can enjoy good things in life, which includes appreciating perfection. Whenever Mr. Aiken belts out a melody is one of those times. Hope you can find something that can make yo as happy as I am. Im 2 blessed 2 b stressed.

Clay was the only person on American Idol I ever got really invested in. I cried when he didn't win because he was the true winner...but I think it's good that he was still able to get a career in music. He is a one of a kind person and singer. I loved how he always just got up there and sang from his heart. He was never fake.

He's the First American Idol to take a classic song to make it his own after thirty years ago when "Solitaire" was released. I agree with Paula, it was his most vulnerable song. Clay was able to capture the audience with his simplicity and pureness.

This was a splendid & moving rendition of this song! I love the way Clay holds a mic, so natural, like he was born with a mic in his hand. He was meant to do what he is doing now, making people happy with beautiful music. I hope AI will retire some of the songs they use on the show, especially some of the songs that Clay sang. It will be hard to follow him, he shines! He is incomparable!!

Few days ago i said to my girlfriend, i wanna know who you think is better okey.. started with this and then Ruben Studdards A Whole New World. Both one of there better performances, and ofcaurse she was like a whole new world what a great song and stuff. Then i said yes but other than that who do you think is the better singer? she said oh yeah the other one i believe, which then was Clay. I often did this as a kid cause i just couldn't except the fact that Clay didn't win, almost everybody said that Clay was better. To this day i still can't get over the fact that i can't watch Ryan Seacrest announce Clay Aiken as the winner.

All the judges comments were great but I think Simon's is worth repeating for the people who make childish comments. Simon said, "Clay I want to say something to you. I think you're one of the few people I've met throughout all of these competitions who can take criticism like a grown-up, learn--you've definitely got better, you've lost some of these facial things which I think were distracting and you just did a really grown-up, FANTASTIC performance!!"

It is sad that sexual preference is even considered when talking about someone being gifted or not. This is a gifted voice. I have a feeling people who hate Clay just because of being gay are not comfortable with themselves and certainly not able to sing anywhere close to what he can. People sometimes hate when they see a gift given to someone other than themselves.
