I just love being a part of the Clay Nation!! These past few days have been so great, with all of these Clay mentions and all of the news regarding the American Idol finale. I really can't wait to see Clay on AI tonight. It has been so long since we have seen him and heard him. According to my calcuations, it has almost been 5 months since the 'Joyful Noise 2005' Tour ended. IMO, that is WAY too long without seeing Clay. Mind you, we have seen some recent pictures of him from his visit to Darien,CT. But really, how long can that hold us?!?!

I am so thrilled about tonight! All the buzz about Clay appearing tonight has been terrific and it seems like more people are talking about Clay being on AI tonight, more than they care about who wins the 'American Idol' title.

I wonder what Clay has in store for us tonight??? Will he be singing his new single?? Will we get a release date for his highly anticipated CD?? Will he be singing a duet with one of the contestants?? So many questions...with not much time until they will be answered! The suspense is killing me.

And all of the entertainment news shows that have had pictures and stories about Clay's appearance tonight. The Insider even said that they will be with Clay tomorrow backstage at the finale! I wonder what he will be doing?? Again, more questions.

Whatever happens tonight, I'm sure that we won't be disappointed. I really think that Clay has some great things in store for us and just the thought of what is to come is so exciting!
