Why is he so popular? He can't sing--he's murdering a song now on a XMAS special.

I don't dislike his voice at all. I am not a fan, but I think he can sing well.

6. That's odd. I think Clay Aiken has a very good voice. |
|
Just sometimes it's not put to the best use. Even a good singer can ruin a perfectly decent song if the arrangement doesn't suit them.

14. It's hard for me to explain, but his voice is not bad, it's that he |
|
doesn't seem to be able to hold the notes or stay consistently on tune that is the problem. I think you need to do both to be a really good singer.

15. Which sadly says a lot about our society... |
|
That people are valued less for their good deeds than their ability to sing.

I love it when a DUer with 10 posts lays the SMACKDOWN on DU vets who insist on trashing someone because they don't like their singing.

person, and I hear that he is so popular, I realize that I do not share the same value as most Americans. This guy reminds me of, although he may not be, a simple-minded fool.
