Clay Aiken has been many things. He was an unassuming North Carolina college student, an "American Idol" runner-up, a popular and mega-selling solo artist, a Broadway star, and now... the Messiah?
Aiken is currently starring on Broadway in the Monty Python musical "Spamalot." One devoted fan, who was not idenfied by name, told the New York Daily News gossip columnist Ben Widdicome that she has been to see the show more than 40 times since Aiken's debut and that she considers him "the Messiah."
Aiken has made no secret of his devout Christian faith, but has no comment on whether he's actually Jesus Christ. A rep for "Spamalot" was quoted as saying, "I am not familiar with this devoted fan, but I know there are many of them." Talk about taking celebrity worship to a whole new level.

Just because a fan wants to think of Clay in that way it does not reflect on Clay's beliefs or other fans of Clay. Most celebrities have their share of fans who seem to go further than most. Didn't some of Valentino's commit suicide after his death?? As long as this fan is not hurting Clay, we hope, or other fans; she can spend her money in any way she pleases. I just hope she does NOT make herself a real pain in the butt to Clay or others on his team. I wish I could see Spamalot one more time (seen it twice with Clay)before his run is over, too! He is THAT good in it!! Phenomenal performer in every way.
I have accepted Clay Aiken as my personal savior.

I too have accepted Clay as I personal savior, although I have not seen the Broadway play "Spamalot." It was a close decision though, because Clay did come in second to Ruben Studdard for the "Idol" title in 2003 by a vote of less than one tenth of one percent--geeeze, that would be sort of like one basketball team beating another by a score of 25,000 to 25,001 in 5000 overtimes. I think that that year would have been a good one for American Idol to name "Twin Idols" or "Co-Idols" to really have been fair about it.
But Clay's "Gospel Message" has prevailed since then over Ruben's, whose record company J Records dropped him last December 2007, for a low conversion (album sales) rate and lack of adherents and believers.
I also would like to add that I have also been "born again" under Clay's "Gospel Message" but I have not yet been "Baptised" in the moat outside of King Arthur's Castle.

Oh, give me a break!!! He can't even sing that well.
If you guys are going to think of Clay Aiken as a God you have got your screws lose in the world of religion. There is only one true god and his name is Jesus Christ. Not Clay Aiken.Don't think that Clay can save you. Can he walk on water? No but Jesus did. Clay is only a man,go back and read the bible people please. I think that you should go back to religion class and get your heads on straight. Maybe even you should talk to a priest about what is says in the bible about worshiping man or "IDOLS".
PS Doesn't Clay also protest to be Gay!!! How can Clay be your Personal Savior if he is saying that he is a gay man. God wasn't Gay. He didn't agree with their lifestyle.
