Concert Montages 90's, I Can't Make You Love Me & I Will Always Love You

For the Intro to the 90's Clay makes fun of both the type of clothing they wore & the dancing. Angela, Quiana & Jacob dance to Can't Touch This. They even try to teach Clay some of the dancing. Lots of Clay cracking himself up & dancing badly. Very funny stuff.

As the show continued S'von plays a long jazzy intro to lead into I Can't Make You Love Me. This song quickly became a favorite for the fans. Montage by Tsunamimommy

Concert Montages cont. When Doves Cry, 80's Medley & Sailing. Montages by Tsunamimommy

Heading into the 80's the drummer, Felix, came out in choir robes & did a great monologue about things from the 80's. It includes one of the funniest moments of the entire tour. Felix ended his intro in Vermont with "And Vermont is a wonderful city." When Clay came out to sing When Doves Cry, he couldn't stop laughing. He tried but gave in & said "Or state!" It really didn't help him get it together. He shoulders shook & he tried to start the song a couple of times but gave up & said he had to start over. He walked off stage & came back out. I wasn't sure if he was going to be able to sing because he was still grinning. He had 1 more false start. When he finally was able to start he was amazing.

Concert Montages cont. 70's Medley, Mandy & Bridge over Trouble Water montages by Tsunamimommy

After Intermission the show opens with our willing/forced audience member dancing with the back ups to Car Wash. All of the dancers were wonderful & very funny. The rest of the 70's medley includes Clay actually dancing to September. It was great.

During the banter for the 70's Clay had a lot of fun asking the audience for things of national importance that happened in the 70's. He also takes the oportunity to tell us that "I am NEVER wrong people." He also seriously scolded the people who have been to the show spoiling his punch line. I was there & it was a riot.

Of course I have to include a photo of new Clay. This was taken at the Hurricanes Hockey game on June 14th.

Concert Montages cont. Pip Search & Ain't No Mountain High Enough

After the Motown Medley Clay went on search of a "Pip." Actually what he was looking for was a man who didn't really want to be there to help open the second half of the show by dancing with his back up singers. This gave lots of opportunity for Clay to show off his quick wit & sense of humor. I had to break up the montage into 2 parts.
Part 1.

Concert Montages, cont. 60's & Motown

Moving on to the 60's. Clay & the girls really seemed like they had fun cutting up on the end of this medley which I loved. What I was really blown away was Clay doing Paul McCartney's head bobbing during Can't Buy Me Love.

Clay's AI2 performance of Solitaire brought Neil Sedaka to tears. I've heard it said in the internet Clay fandom that the more Clay lives with a song the better he sings it. I can't imagine how Neil would react to Clay's version of Solitaire now.

Clay's friends from before AI have said that Clay loves to sing Motown. During the JBT Clay use to say that he had his backups do alot of the singing in the Motown Medley. I think Angela, Quiana & Jacob do a great job but I still think Clay outshines them all.

Concert Montages, Intro & 50's Medley

One of the most amazing things I've seen during the last 3 years of my Clay hobby is the amazing talent & creativity among Clay fans and their incredible willingness to share
those talents with other Clay fans.

One of my favorite things is concert montages. There are several extremely talented people who go through all the video available for a specific song for a specific tour & put together a montage for that song. During the Jukebox Tour Clay allowed videotaping. This created a massive amount of really great video. It is mindboggling. The amount of work it takes to put together just one of these montages well is extremely time consuming. To make montages for an entire concert takes an incredibly talented & dedicated individual.

Over the next few days I will be sharing the Jukebox Tour concert montages made by Tsunamimommy. Some of the montages had to be broken into multiple videos because of YouTube restrictions. So without further ado here are the first 2.

I Can't Make You Love Me

There was a time that Clay Aiken seemed to sing every song by hitting it out of the ballpark. It seems to me during the last 3 years Clay has learned to tone it down when appropriate.

For example, during the Jukebox Tour, last summer he sang I Can’t Make You Love Me accompanied only by S’von on the piano. At the beginning of the tour he only sang the first verse. About half way through the tour he added the second verse. I don’t know what it is about that second verse but it really does something to me. I liked the song before he added the second verse but after he added it I became addicted to it, but that’s beside the point.

It is such a heart wrenching song & he sings it incredibly. Sure there are some power notes but the parts of this song that get me are the almost whispered lower notes. Gah! There really are no words to describe it.

Fortunately for you, thanks to Tsunamimommy & Youtube you can hear & see it for yourself.

And since I really love Clay's new look I just have to share another pic.
