You came to the right spot on Amazon. Clay Aiken has a powerful voice and you can hear this stunning voice so clearly on Solitaire, especially after four minutes when he sings out one note so strong it may move you to tears. I believe this is THE American Idol, regardless if he didn't win. I don't think there has been talent on American Idol even close to Clay's honestly. And I know people will disagree, but when I heard Solitaire, I knew this was my ultimate American Idol.
I do not mean to neglect The Way though, for this is a beautiful song as well that I love, although Solitaire is stronger indeed. Yet they both are amazing ballads and Clay's voice shines on both. If you love these two songs then go out and get his full c.d., because there are other songs worth recognition on his c.d. definitely. The problem is they didn't put Solitaire on his official album so I had to buy the single. Solitaire is worth the money though. You won't regret it! Clay is truly talented and I eagerly await more from him!
