ReddIt's Favorite Live Performances

    Reddit had a post by another user that asked the other users their favorite live performance artists. Among the top favorites listed were; The Beatles at Shea Stadium٫ Elvis in Hawaii٫ Prince at the Super Bowl٫and Jimi Hendrix at Monterrey. A few modern artists and groups were also mentioned . 

      Who would make it to your top list of Live Performances? Clay Aiken is among the top of mine along with artists and groups of various ages and genres.  I have seen Clay the most٫ saw several contemporary Christian artists when I was younger٫ saw The Osmond family and The Monkees in the 1980's. Saw Smokey Robinson at the RiverBend Festival in Chattanooga٫Tennessee a while later. I don't see as many famous performers anymore as I did from the 1980's to the early 2010's٫ as I have chronic illnesses and many of my favorite performers do not perform close to where I live. I am close to some places that have local musicians and bands.

Idols Come Back- Updated!

Made with Canva.

      Clay Aiken was one of several American Idol alumni who have come back to mentor this season’s contestants. It would be great if he were made a permanent mentor or judge for the show, and I am not the only one who feels that way.

        By the way, I am sorry that I have not posted in a year. I will try to do much better.

       After Clay’s visit, the viewers had positive and negative reactions .  Here are some tweets by link; 1 , 2, 3, and

     Having Clay on the show brought back memories of his time as a contestant. Lionel Richie was one of the guest judges during Clay’s season on Idol.  What do you think about his time as a mentor this week? Do you think Clay should be a permanent mentor or judge on American Idol? Please let me know in the comments below. 

2 Pre-quarantine Songs with Clay Aiken

     Before the coronavirus pandemic scare of 2020, physical forms of affection were commonly shared with our friends and extended family. Now, it is too scary to risk these unless it is  with members of your own household. Even then, there is a risk. Today"s song choices come from a time when we did not fear these expressions of love. They are, "These Open Arms" and " Open Arms."
