On My Way Here

Clay Aiken's newest album is spectacular. I have listened to it many times since it was released in May. Following a link to Youtube this morning I realized I had accumulated a variety of videos people have created using songs from On My Way Here. All kinds of montages, all kinds of very diverse subjects. This album clearly connects with many demographics.


Note - some users are having problems viewing these videos in Firefox 3.0

So let's see - there are those that bring two of my fandoms crashing together - for example, to the song Something About Us -



Who can forget the Apolo & Julianne season of "Dancing with the Stars"?




One of my favorite shows this last year which appears to be in danger of not being renewed. Moonlight. Mick and Beth definitely have chemistry. Unlike Jericho (RIP) where fans donated tons of peanuts in a rally to save the show, Moonlight fans are donating blood. No kidding.

Another Dancing With the Stars Video.


Set to
Sacrificial Love

***************

One of my all time favorite movies, Gone With the Wind has even had the Clay Aiken treatment.



Set, of course, to
Sacrificial Love.

ETA - the following great video is also set to Gone With the Wind.



And, what better song to use -
Everything I Don't Need.

***************

A couple of shows/movies I haven't watched - but worthy videos, none the less.




The Gilmore Girls - using Lover All Alone.

***************



Grey's Anatomy lovers will adore this video set to Lover All Alone.

***************




The movie Ironman - using Weight of the World. I want to see this movie when it comes out on DVD.

***************



And, The Notebook - again Lover All Alone has been used. Another movie to add to my Netflix queue.


***************
Last night I watched "Singing in the Rain". I sure had a huge crush on Gene Kelly when I was young - the following video is for all of us who love "the legends". Fred & Ginger. Judy. Sigh.



There certainly was Something About Us.

***************

And for those who play video games we have:



Final Fantasy to the beautiful song, Ashes. I have no idea what this about, but the video is verra verra cool.

***************

On the political front we have a couple of great videos featuring Barack Obama. So far, I have not seen any for the opposition. Get busy, montagers.



Grace of God. This video is very powerful. The montage maker did a great job matching the pictures/video with the words of the song.



After watching this touching video, I get all smooshy. There is, indeed, Something About Us in the Obama family.


***************

Last one for today - a haunting video about homeless children set to
Lover All Alone.



Well now, that's the show for today. Hope you enjoy all these beautiful & well made videos.

Yes, Clay's newest Cd is fantastic and I can't for the life of me with all the great reviews from music critics, PRIOR to release, it sold only 94,000 the first week. Very puzzling. I wonder if some sales outlets didn't report in??? Well, anyway, one correction in the original blog; OMWH was released on MAY 6th, not in June!!

Well, of course it was!! Thanks for the correction. Time flies when you're having fun (listening to this great album).
