- this is from 1997's Pieces of Gold show in Raleigh, NC. As far as I can tell, this is the only uncut version of the song on the internet. I was in this show and knew Clay at the YMCA where he worked. We were almost in Oklahoma together locally. He was called back for Will Parker, but, crazy enough, didn't get it, so he was given a chorus part. He turned that down.
He was also named Clayton Grissom at the time. I'm also highly amused by the comment about "Jekyll and Hyde," soon to be released on Broadway. Seems so long ago. - ยานยนต์และพาหนะ

What a great voice, sweet, deep, velvety....Loved it!
Such a voice he has wow and seeing him this young here must’ve shocked everyone
2020. Still find I like him. Want more albums that should showcase his voice, his way, his choices.
Beautiful. Incredible voice and phrasing for someone so young. What an amazing singer he was and still is!
I’ve always thought he should have won American Idol. He was always my favourite on Idol and to me, the most talented.
While I love him and Ruben both, I think he was probably going to win.
"On May 21, 2003, Aiken came in a close second to Ruben Studdard, who won the contest by 134,000 votes out of more than 24,000,000 votes cast. The result was controversial, as some hypothesized that Idol's voting system was incapable of handling the number of attempted calls."
i have chills. this is absolutely stunning. his voice sounds incredible and he is singing with such EASE that it's unreal. he is truly truly truly gifted.
seems like he never used his full vocal potential. i always thought this dude could rival dimash and D. phelps
@@trollzubzero6614 he was pushed to be more pop on american idol. wish he had kept with broadway songs too.
I just came across this.... Amazing! Clay was and is the best American Idol EVER! Thanks for sharing this.
Clay put on a beautiful, loving and emotional performance. I love ❤️ watching all of Clay’s videos again and again.👏👏👏👏🐶
That voice! There is no mistaking it. Love!
Wow, this was great to see! You can really see how far he's come as a performer post-Idol, but damn, that voice was ALWAYS there.
I was in this show with him when I was 13 , 30 now, all my mom could talk about was him. I was like " geeze mom, glad you cared about our number ".
I was a whole 6 years old lol.
Wow. I'd seen clips of this performance, but it is really good to see the whole thing. He's always had that voice. Amazing.
Clay's amazing talent and star quality shine through in this video. I'm so happy someone told me about this. This performance proves that Clay needs to be back on the Broadway stage.
What a wonderful performance for someone so young, he was so poised and sang so beautifully. Thanks for posting this.
No wonder he was no stranger to the stage when we first saw him. WOW! Our skinny, nerdy, geek that we all have been blessed to hear his magical voice :) I'm smiling ear to ear :)
That's why Randy from American Idol was in shock when he first heard him. Randy's words, "Wow that's unreal" LOL
@@SEABIRDSYMPHONY haha right??!!
So glad I got to see this in it's entirety. What a voice! WOW! Thanks for posting!
He was always so talented
Wow! That voice has always been amazing! Thanks so much for this view into his younger singing career. Love it. :)
He should have gotten a standing ovation Clay Aiken is amazing.
Thank you so much for sharing! I think you're right that it's the only uncut version out there. What a voice, then and now.
This performance is unbelieveably fantastic! Clay always gives us his beautiful voice to enjoy! Thank you for sharing. All of us fans appreciate you and the others for uploading these great moments with Clay
Wow he should sung that song at the audition. They would have just gave him the Winner's title right then and there... Stunning!!
I fail to tire of Clay’s voice. Don’t even know how many times I’ve listened to this. When life gets too much, Clay is playing. His lung capacity is phenomenal!!! We are blessed to be able to pull up a song anytime. Clay has taken this lady’s heart, now and for always. 💕💕😍🤩😘🖖🎤🎼🎹
Right??!! I've never known any other singer with such lung power!! It's really amazing considering his birth story.
@@dlclcn5021 What is Clay's birth story?
@@debconnelly1642 if you haven't read Clay's book "Learning to Sing" I guess you wouldn't know. Clay was born with a collapsed lung. Which obviously got fixed when he was a baby. But knowing he was born with a collapsed lung, you wouldn't expect Clay to have the amazing amount of lung power that he has. You would think that the one lung would be weaker but apparently that isn't the case. Clay has a crazy amount of lung power. More than most singers have.
So glad to finally see and hear this in it's entirety. He's got such an awesome voice. I wish he'd use that lower register more often.
Bridgett Rode I do too. He really received great audience responses when he has.
yeeah² clay Aiken always use headvoice.. anayway love his voice
So wonderful then ...so wonderful now
This was wonderful to see. Thank you for sharing. Loved Clay's voice back then, and love it now.
Love this... Such a talented person. I first listened to his voice when I watched his American Idol performance he sung "Bridge over troubled water"
WOW!!! Amazing then and AMAZING now!!! Love, love his low range...somthing we don't hear much of now, but sure hope he uses it again in future recordings!! He has a voice that needs to be heard MORE!!! Love him.....
Aww, young clay. Love it. Now if only if only someone had a video of him singing on top of those carpet samples at Sears.

Wonderful! thanks for this video, Clay was and is still amazing!
Fantastic! He always had it...even when he was that young. Just as great today. What a voice. Thank you so much for this video.
thank you very much for sharing this. I am his fan from Asia.
Thank you so much for sharing this video! He was amazing then and amazing now.
Effing awesome. You can tell he's young because he doesn't have the same stage presence and didn't hold his microphone close enough to his mouth. But, his voice was so amazing it didn't really matter. He also gave credit to the pianist immediately. Sweet.
Quite to contrary, he actually does have very good control over his mic.
Wow! Thanks for uploading this treasure. He is amazing.
Stunning true talent
Bravo un abbraccio❤❤❤❤❤❤
I wonder if he knew he had 'it' way back then. His voice, like Susan Boyle's, has that special quality that raises them way above the rest. I don't know what he's up to now but he deserves more than he's getting.
Amazing!
OMG so amazing then and so amazing now!!!
That was a talented era for WCPSS. I became a professional ballerina and now a sommelier.
WOW! love this
There just isn’t anyone better‼️
WOW!!!! Unbelievable!!!!! Clay, please make another album, tour or do Broadway again!!!!! :)
That was amazing.
Wonderful performance!
Dang!
bravo :) love it
What a voice
Hallelujah. It is a great voice.
This song is perfect for clay, power, poise, what a voice this man has.robbed in American,idol
Wonderful! Looked a lot like me at that age. Fascinating he couldn't sing "Damn all the odds." Substituted "Forget."
nice , really nice
Crazy he went to my high school
This must have been before the re-write of the song. And I'm glad he learned how to use a mic.
unbelievable :D
OMgosh -- how amazing is this man --even so young his voice was fantastic! And still is.
This is so wonderful to see in it's full glory. Thank you. Thank you, Clay.
My daughter, a baby at the time (2002) would crawl in the room when she heard him on AI. Afterwards she crawled away. No interest in anyone else. She was about 1 1/2 and could sing his songs. Her 2nd birthday gift was a Clay poster and CD! We took her to see him in Virginia. He saw her and sang to her. She was stunned! Awesome!
I agree he used the lower register a lot in the early recordings before AI.
I forgot to say thanks for sharing this wonderful video with us. Thanks!
Wow. This is amazing. Considering he's a tenor (or perhaps the only true heldentenor I've ever heard?) and was a teenager when he did this, the amount of resonance he could get in his lower register is absurd. He pulls off a pretty convincing baritone, but you can tell he's singing with his larnyx abnormally low to achieve the resonance.
He's a Full-Lyric Tenor, not a Heldentenor. His voice is definitely big and heroic, but his voice lacks the timbre overall squillo of a true HeldenTenor. But still, due to his nature as a Full Lyric, he'd be able to sing Dramatic rolls. His vocal weight and stamina puts him on par with Dramatic voices. He performed this song in NC in a concert and his voice was so heroic. He actually sang naturally instead of lowering his larynx, and he had greater power. Clays voice truly is astonishing
***** Clay has one of the most powerful voices I've ever heard. If he's a lyric tenor then I've never heard a dramatic voice in my life.
No, he's not a (light) Lyric voice. He's a rarer more unique type of Lyric. Full Lyrics have the stamina and weight/voluminous sound and large vocal tract that Dramatic voices do. They just lack the darker/colder timbres and metallic qualities that Dramatic voices have. They have the timbre of Lyrics and the naturally subtle affinity of light Lyrics, but with bigger Dramatic-like voices.
Andy V this is the kind of range they look for when you’re doing Broadway.
He couldn't' get off the stage quick enough! So often the case that those with the most talent can't take the glory!
Clay looks so much better with sideburns.
Broadway, are you listening???
I think Clay would BE on Broadway if that was what he wanted.Yes, amazing voice I never tire of hearing. He is just magnificent!
Cool video. Thanks for sharing. I just came across an up & coming musician that's worth checking out... Mikey Wax... Search his song "Love Always Wins". Really catchy.
he's using the mic at the top of it's arc of where it could pick up sound, and he has it 1/2 right by putting the sound OVER The pop filter, but yeah it's a bit too close to his chest lol
