Did you know that the father-to-be has a fansite called Claymaniac.com? I laughed so hard when I read that. The fans are supportive.....ish.
"OMG Clay Aiken is my Hero," writes one fan on claymaniac.com. "I love him and wish him the best of luck!"
Adds
another on the same site: "Now today I almost choked on my sandwich,
Clay is going to be a father? And in three months? It blew me over. All
I can say is 'Congratulations!' That is going to be one handsome and
talented baby."
Still, there were some doubts: "How can he have
time with his baby if he's always on a busy schedule. Like tours, CD
releases, talk show[s]. Life becomes crazy with a baby."
"I
don't know what to say – I am shocked and awed," another person wrote.
" I don't know what to think. It is going to take me a while, but I do
feel a little different about it."
Still, the majority of comments on fan sites and blogs were positive.
One
person in the Claymates Yahoo group gushed, "I think the child would be
so lucky to have them as parents. ... This is their business and we
should not be judging Clay or Jaymes."
The page dedicated to
Aiken on popular music widget iLike had also had supportive comments.
Writes one fan, "Wow ... I am kind of shocked. But Clay always wanted
to be a father so good for him! It was just sudden news, I am still
shocked ... I wonder if his kid will inherit his pipes!"
Adds
another: "Here's a toast to Clay and Jaymes for the healthy arrival of
their baby in August. This baby will be loved, however it came to be.
"Lover All Alone" is a great collaboration with David Foster – and this
will be a great collaboration with his sister Jaymes. Congrats!"
