Clay Aiken 1997 "This is the Moment" Uncut
this is from 1997's Pieces of Gold show in Raleigh, NC. As far as I can tell, this is the only uncut version of the song on the internet. I was in this show and knew Clay at the YMCA where he worked. We were almost in Oklahoma together locally. He was called back for Will Parker, but, crazy enough, didn't get it, so he was given a chorus part. He turned that down.
He was also named Clayton Grissom at the time. I'm also highly amused by the comment about "Jekyll and Hyde," soon to be released on Broadway. Seems so long ago.
