When Clay Aiken first appeared on American Idol, he was a 24-year-old from Raleigh, North Carolina, and it was time to talk about what he was planning this year.

During the show, many people thought that he was not doing well in the competition or that he could be a pop star.

But they couldn't be more wrong, because Clay reached the AI final and finished second, behind season 2 winner Ruben Studdard.

After working on American Idol, Clay continued to record his album Measure of a Man, which was released in October 2003.

While Clay finished as a runner-up on American Idol in the early days, his second place did not stop him from achieving his goals.

He is known as one of the celebrities of American Idol and appeared even after his film season. It's still the contestant the fans are talking about today,
