Clay Aiken has a favorite on American Idol.
The singer who got his start on the popular Fox show says hes been rooting for 16-year-old Victoria Huggins from North Carolina.
I tuned in for the first time in years, because a girl that Ive known for years was on the show, Aiken said.
She won in her age category, and I won in my category.
Her mother and my mother have stayed in touch. I knew to watch last night because my mother had heard from her mother that she might be on.
Shes that perky; shes that happy; shes just one of the sweetest girls in the world.
I know that when the producers show them on TV, it comes across as if theyre trying to get the craziest parts of her, but, since she was 5 years old, as a performer, as a singer, shes always been a pistol. She had the biggest voice when she was young. She comes from one of the sweetest families Ive ever met, and shes one of the sweetest girls Ive ever met.
If I continue to watch this, if I actually commit to watching an entire episode, Ill get caught up in it.
Im a little worried that shes on it. She made it to Hollywood, and I thought, Oh, crap! Now I have to watch again, and if she gets on it, Im going to get tied up in it and my palms are going to get sweaty every Thursday night on elimination night!
