Where have all the swooner's gone?
10/02/06Well, it's taken two weeks and several ass-hat critics to change the narrative on the "boards". It's enough to make a person sad.
Everyone was so excited listening to "the Clips" and waiting for all the excitement of watching the "numbers". But something happened on the way to the fair.
Clay came second. The critics panned it. The radio snubbed WY. RCA sucks. The album sucks -that's what we were suddenly reading here, there and everywhere.
Well, sorry. I'm not letting some angry, too cool for school jealous hacks ruin what I've waited and waited for. I love this album, I listen to it as often as possible. I have trouble picking a favourite because that changes on a daily basis.
Maybe he's not getting as much promo as he should but that doesn't make the CD any less wonderful. I treasure it and I thank Clay and Jaymes for making the songs so new and fresh and terrific.
The voice that captured my heart has grown and matured to heights I wouldn't have believed possible. I never worry anymore if he'll hit "the note" - I do still worry that he'll remember the words! hee! I will never worry about losing him again unless it's by his choice. He is a Superstar and he'll grow and prosper and become more and more famous from here on in.
I wish sometimes that I was still a Not.Just.Us. that I was when MOAM came out. That was so exciting and I didn't read anything that soured the moment. I kind of miss that innocence.
Clay, you have entertained me so much these past two weeks with your humour and talent on those venues that warranted that and with your intelligence, integrity and confidence during those appearances that called for those qualities.
You are my muse!
