Clay Aiken Haiku Contest -- Win Tickets To The Greek

separated at birth - clay aiken and annette bening

Whether you are partial to the Annette Bening days, or a fan of the emo-beatle hair phase, everyone's favorite Presidential advisor and American Idol runner up is playing a show at the Greek this Saturday. LAist has one pair of tickets for one lucky person (or their lucky mom).

Sincerely though, people are nuts about this Aiken fellow and far be it from me to begrudge them their fetishes. In fact, I encourage them. All ye devoted fans, let us now know the power of your love of Clay. Put it in poetry, punk. Register to comment and comment to win. Contest ends Friday 8/3 at 11am. Best haiku wins.

Here's one to get you started...

What did I once hear
Some sort of message about
Worshipping idols

Clay Aiken
@ The Greek Theatre
Saturday, August 4th
8pm

Soft Rock and a Hard Place (Montage)

Grandmas scream in glee.
How can we measure a man?
A homo sings: Clay.

 

a clay in the wild,
cries of measuring his man,
no second place here.

 

i dont want tickets
but those pictures are funny
keep up the good work

 

Clay Aiken can SING
Hilarious in concert
Multi-talented

 

A song in my heart
With beautiful melody
Voice of Clay Aiken

He opens his mouth to sing
The heavens part so
angels can hear the glory

 

I have front row seats
Don’t need your free tickets, but
Best Buddies, L.A. does

 

Brainy L.A. Girl
You win because I just
peed my pants laughing

 

Crap, I can't even write a haiku!
Oh, well, better go clean up my mess.

 

hey guesties...

i do appreciate your
participation (and haikus)
very much, but if you don't
register with a real email
address, i can't track you
down if you win the tickets.

get thee a login and resubmit please.

thankee.

 

Fans of all ages
Wonder why folks who hate Clay
Are so obsessed, hmm???

 

Red hair and freckles
Not your typical pop star
Big voice, big feet, though.

 

Two pics: many teeth.
Clay sings like Annette breeds...starts
With a schmaltzy sap.

 

hair like golden beams
glistening in the sunshine
a heavenly voice

 

And solitaire's the
only game in town. I'd pick
it over this show.

 

You are clearly gay,
Yet turn sweet, shy gals into
Lustful Claymates. How?

 

I DO BELIEVE ALL OF YOU CLAY HATERS ARE JEALOUS. CLAY IS LAUGHING ALL THE WAY TO THE BANK. GET A LIFE.

 

...clearly gay, you say.
And a wise old saying goes,
".. takes one to know one"!

 

Clay, live at the Greek
Sunset and Hollywood Hills
Here I come again

 

Gnats are ev’rywhere
Ewww! Don’t want them in my hair!
Better bring bug spray

 

To hear Clay sing live
Hope lights up a hate-filled world
The Universe smiles

 

In the Potter's hands
Clay, A solitary man
Croons effortlessly


 

Web Cam
Striptease
Greek man
Greek Theater
Gay

 

Rumors fly, fans cry
Vicious hate, spiteful defense!
...I just like his voice.

 

Clay is much like Christ:
I adore the man himself,
But his fans scare me.

 

(Last one, I swear; shoutout to some old compatriots who may read this...)

The prodigal Broad
Has mostly moved on -- but still
wouldn't turn him down...

 

His haunting voice
his humor, quick
How can you resist?

 

A Thousand Days we'd wait for him.
Face it folks, he's not just a whim.

 

so many bash him
so many feel so threatened
yet he chooses joy

 

Clay Aiken is the true measure of a man. His enormous heart is filled with love, tenderness & compassion for his family, friends, charitable works & his fans. Clay Aiken uses his voice not only to sing but also to bring awareness to others about the needs for children around the world & those children with special needs. Clay Aiken is THE TRUE MEASURE OF A MAN. I love Clay Aiken and his beautiful heart.

 

Troubled waters bridged
On one starry, starry, night
Soulful serenade

 

The hair might look similar
but the voices show the difference
Annette is wonderful Actress,
Clay's voice transcends the heavens
Not only can he sing, but he is a natural
comic as well. He works to help children who are in need He just keeps getting better
Look out World!

 

Huge Voice and Heart
Huge.......yes, it's true
He's dweamy

 

They don't understand
why the Claymates love him so
It's more than the voice

 

Sorry, I didn't want tickets. I wanted to respond because of the hate postings. Clay is the best.

 

Six feet one
Sex machine
Handsome Hot
Thudworthy Clay
And he sings too!


LOL

 

Bright and warm as sun
The gift of his voice and heart
Clay shares with us all

 

Bright and warm as sun
The gift of his voice and heart
Clay shares with us all

 

Close Quarters. Confined.
The Bare Toe Reigns Supreme.
Bullies Never Win.

 

close quarters confined
the bare toe reigns supreme
bullies never win

 

No need for tickets
Clay made me vote... for Ruben
Studdard for life, yo.

 

There is no debate;
his mate woman or man,
Clay still "catches"

 

Don't count me for tickets, I just wanted in on the fun. But I'll be contending for honorable mentioN!

 

Clay times two, twice seen
Smile reveals the joy, the love
Captured for all time

 

Clay transcends haters
You revile him in vain
He's rich and you're not

Don't need tix, have seen Clay twice this summer. Clay is the hottest singer so go away, haters!

Bonnie

 

The Greek is a dream
A night for the ages, Clay sings
Pure voice, perfect night
