I went to a Clay Aiken Christmas concert last night.

It was SO CHEESY. And normally I *like* cheese! I mean, Clay’s voice was great but it was more of a musical than it was a concert (which I totally didn’t expect because I was given the tickets that day and had no idea that it was even holiday-themed). There was a cutesy story about a boy befriending a lonely old lady in his neighborhood, there was dancing (sadly, the dancers were really horrible)… it had the makings of a great show but it was just waaaayyy overdone. PLUS, Clay’s versions of most of the Christmas songs were sloooooow. I found myself yawning quite a few times. :/

There was a great joke about the little boy entering a talent show and winning second place. I totally didn’t understand why everyone was laughing so hard and then I realized the connection to Clay. HAH. I’m a little slow on the uptake.

I really wanted to enjoy the show (it’s Christmas! And you know me, I LOVE the holidays!). It’s too bad.
