Clay Aiken + DWTS = Perfect Match



DWTS Season 9 Viennese Waltz - Sacrificial Love

Waltzing to 'Sacrificial Love'

Montages Team Clay, DWTS

For years, montage makers have deemed Clay Aiken songs and ABC's popular "Dancing With the Stars" a perfect match, teaming vocals by the North Carolina singer with video clips from the hit show's current and past seasons.

In the opening montage, LovesClaysVoice merged DWTS Season 9 couples and their Viennese Waltz competition with Sacrificial Love, a track from Clay's On My Way Here CD.

DWTS montages using Clay's song stylings span his career from the 2003 Measure of a Man album to On My Way Here in 2008 to a special single release, "Just You." This list represents countless DWTS montages at YouTube, and you are welcome to offer others in your comments:

It's unbelievable the match that was made between the dance and Clay's music on the montage. I love DWTS and watch it without fail each week. Praying that one night they will actually use one of Clay's songs!

Great to see big strides made in the Christie Cookie contest!

The pictures you sent of Kai and Lia were just beautiful. Lia is catching up in size for sure to Kai.

Enjoy the rest of the week!

Hugs,

Another great blog.

I'm hoping that now that Clay is with Decca we will see him on DWTS. Some of his songs are perfect for that show.
