Clay Aiken (born Clayton Holmes Grissom on November 30, 1978) is a popular American singer who rose to fame on the American Idol television program, and who has become the most successful second-place finisher in that show’s history, even handily eclipsing that year’s “Idol” winner in sales. His first single, “Bridge Over Troubled Water”/ “This Is The Night” debuted at Number One, and became the best-selling single of the year — and he was just getting started.

Clay’s first CD, Measure of a Man (Number One, Top 200), went triple platinum selling more than 600,000 copies in its first week. Including singles like “Invisible”, “The Way,” “I Will Carry You” and the Neil Sedaka cover “Solitaire,” it was the subject of conflicting reviews. Many fans and some critics recognized and admired the pure pop sound (“so pure it floats”) and top-notch production values while others heard only a manufactured sound, noting that the singer hadn’t earned his musical chops but “merely” sang his way to the hearts of millions on television, a perceived unjust leap-frogging of “the true path of the true artist.”

The Bubel/Aiken Foundation was launched in 2003, supporting the integration of children with disabilities into the life environment of their non-disabled peers. In November 2004, Clay was appointed as a National Ambassador for UNICEF, with a mission to help ensure that children everywhere are afforded a primary education.

I recently had the pleasure of meeting Mr. Clay Aiken at a convention. He offered me 'a good time', but I politely declined because he looked like my stepdad who beat me on a regular basis as a child.

In what universe are these similar artist? That's like saying that King Kong and Hugh Jackman are similar because they were both in a movie. *Kimberley Locke * Diana DeGarmo * Elliott Yamin * Bo Bice * Blake Lewis
