He appeals to the Michael Buble and Celine Dion crowd. Did you know Michael Buble is 5th high paid musician making almost 70 million a year? That's pretty darn good for a cover artist.
Hate to say it, but I think everyone knew at the time he wasn't going to become a breakout star: sex-appeal, personality and distinctive image matter in pop music, he had none of those things.
what happened with Taylor Hicks? Also if you say that William Hung is an American Idol Legend, then yo can say Clay Aiken is a legend too.
I'm sorry, Clay Aiken has sex appeal and personality??? I don't think " everyone" knew at the time that he wouldn't be a breakout star. Maybe if you were talking about Taylor Hicks I'd understand(even though Taylor had more personality than Ruben AND Clay).
Of course! He's the one with the legions of Claymates and was voted "Most Loved Reality Star Of All Time" by TV Guide. If you're talking about Taylor the lampshade wearing drunken uncle who thinks he's the life of the party. Have you been watching Celebrity Apprentice this season? Clay is on it and is hugely popular already, only 2 episodes in.
