Clay Aiken was featured last night on an "Insider"poll asking teenagers to text in their votes about who their top teen idol today is.
In striking contrast, in other Clay Aiken news it was announced that on his upcoming summer symphony tour, Clay will be performing songs including I Want To Know What Love Is, For Once In My Life, Moon River, Bridge Over Troubled Water and Measure Of A Man.
Say what? Teen Idol? Moon River? For Once In My Life?
Is Clay a performer with an identity crisis?
Let's not answer that as it opens up SO many cans of worms, but lets look at the stats to see what the facts are regarding Clay's fan base.
