If you're still thinking about whether to attend Michael Buble's concert, perish the thought, especially if you want good seats. As of 10:15 this morning -- ie. 15 minutes after SISTIC opened its ticket sales for the show -- aisle seats were available only from the 8th row onwards. By now, I predict at least 80% of the tickets would've been snapped up. But if you're still game to hear him, then what are you waiting for?!

Sad News About Clay Aiken

The message boards have been going crazy since word got out that Clay's got some serious allergy problems and had to go the hospital for treatment. Seems he ate something containing an ingredient that doesn't agree with him, requiring some allergy shots which later made him feel really terrible. Amazingly, he still performed at that night's concert, though visibly fatigued and not speaking or dancing as much. He left immediately after that, missing the meet-and-greet sessions, and causing many Claymates to worry about his overall health.
I've had allergy shots before, and it knocked me out completely for 2 solid hours. I ate some peanut candy from China, which gave me terrible periorbital swelling and rashes. After the shot, I couldn't even stand up straight! Can you imagine Clay with 25mg of promethazine in his system, fighting drowsiness and all the exhaustion resulting from the gruelling American Idol tour these past 2 months, trying to get through another high-energy concert? I'm surprised he even showed up at all.
Interestingly, I noticed that some fans earlier mistook Clay's allergy problems for arrogance, complaining that he isn't as friendly now because of his new-found fame, etc. How wrong they were.

Clay, millions are praying for your speedy recovery. Have a good rest and get well soon. :)
