13. I used to be a HUGE Clay Aiken fan (there was a 212 page, handwritten fic...what! I was 11!). I adored that man so much. But the music just went downhill and the scandalous private life lost a lot of his fan base. I'm not going to sit here and force him out of the closert because that is an extremely personal and difficult process, made even harder growing up as a southern baptist like he did. But the way he handled the rumours was not sufficient. We all know that Clay Aiken bats for the other team, and I'm fine with that, I am not, however, fine with the lack of attention he gave these rumours. Either own up to it (seeing as your career is already in the gutter. American Idol runner up doesn't last long), or prove your innocence. Don't go into hiding and grow creepy hair.

Ugh. The hair.

Clay Aiken was really my first fandom experience and I miss it sometimes. It was a nice place to start. Unfortunately, all the sites are gone, the information is gone, it really is mostly dead. It was fun while it lasted.

I still think he's immensley talented, but the sun has set on his career and I really hope he is able to find happiness outside of the public eye.
