The Voice and Totality of Goodness of Clayton Aiken Day: Thanks for The Coming Tour, Clayton! As ardent and devoted fans of Clay Aiken, Lecherous Broads are both joyful and sad upon the successful completion of Clay's Independent Tour. From Tuesday, February 24th through Friday, April 16th, we traveled, we took in the delights of the tour, we made and received cellcerts, we read the cellcert reports and recaps, we wrote our BEVRs (more of those are coming, of course), and we downloaded and watched the videos and looked at the photographs. Our hearts and souls soared listening to Clayton's VOICE, our belly's laughed at his onstage antics, our knees turned to jello and we turned into quivering puddles of awe at his gorgeously endearing sexy nature, and our tears flowed at his beauty and goodness. We're so proud of his ability to fill those arenas with eager fans, and we look forward to our next opportunity to see him perform live...there's nothing like it. Today's Main Page is intended as a pictorial commemorative of Clay's Coming Tour, and a thank you message to Clay from LBFCA. After I assembled them, I realized the photos are mostly of Clay, close-ups of Clay, beautiful shots of Clay, and, well, pretty much Clay. These photographs do not do justice to the complete concert experience, as I also want to thank all of the members of the band, Chris, Danny, Albert, S'von and Jason, and special thanks to the back up musicians (and dancers!), Angela, Quiana and Jacob. They all put on a tremendous show for us every night, and I'm so glad Clay, and Kelly, had such a great team. Clay always encouraged us to thank the crew, and everyone behind the tour, so this is meant to do that, too. Gee, I'm even thankful to Kelly and the Beu Sisters, who helped make the Coming Tour package. When known, I have acknowledged the photographer, and source site for the photos. My apologies if I missed someone, or if I mis-labeled some. Special thanks must go out to the Clay Nation photographers, as well as the videographers, who bring us fans the wonderful Clack with which we lustily engorge our computers. In order of appearance, thanks for the memories, Clayton.
We were first introduced to the blazing blue shirt and tie, and the grey pants of glory...and you know Lecherous Broads consider that Purple lighting to be a Shout Out from Clay Duluth/Atlanta
