20 years ago American Idol Clay Aiken released his first hit. It was great that grassroots talent such as Clay Aiken rose to stardom on platforms such as American Idol.
I was in middle school when this song was out, and I'm 33 years old and just going back to listening to the song. Brings good memories & I still love Clay Aiken.❤❤❤❤🤩🤩🤩🤩🙂🙂🙂🙂
I was in freshman year. I had a huge crush on a girl I that was very popular, and we were starting to become friends. When this song came out, I remember always turning it up because it made me think of her. We had a falling out, and we moved on. By that time the next year, I was crushing on another girl. A bigger crush, in fact. It's crazy how fast time goes. I wish I had enjoyed it a little more. There's nothing like having a crush on a girl and a song like this is on heavy rotation on the top ten.
I heard this song around probably when I was six or seven yrs old and up til now I really thought he said " I would be the stars tonight". I never payed attention to the lyrics. Never thought it was stalk like vibes.
Everyone says the lyrics are creepy, but I think they’re sweet. He’s singing about someone he really likes, but they don’t notice him. I’m sure everyone has felt that way. He thinks if he was invisible he could watch them just to see how they behave by themselves, like when you catch a loved one doing something cute. It’s such a sweet and beautiful song. I love you Clay. We need more new music from you
I forgot all about him until now. I had the biggest crush on him growing up, I was OBSESSED!! I could sing this entire song word for word even today at 30 🥺
Well, the lyricist had good intentions... Dang. This is one of the catchiest songs I know! You just can't help but fall in LOVE with it and play it over and over again!
I've always enjoyed the fact that Clay's version includes the "Reach out..." bridge, which isn't found on the original demo by Chris Braide nor on the D-side version that was released shortly before Clay released this. The bridge, with it's key change, additional lyrics and layered background vocals, fits perfectly into the song and brings the energy level up quite a bit.
Put on a nice pair of headphones, landscape your phone and crank it up. I love the energy of this song, seeing people of all ages and races simply enjoying themselves outdoors as a group of strangers. That's what music is supposed to do, connect. #teamclay
Three important points: 1. This is one GREAT video. Natural, pure joy from the crowd. 2. This is one HELL of a song!! Tell me it's not. Really listen to it. 3. Clay Aiken is one FANTASTIC singer, natural and pure voice. No one else came close to his talent on American "Idle".
Can't deny it's a catchy song. Although it's creepy, I think everyone's had that one person they were slightly obsessed with. You would do anything to be with them. It's not about abusing them, it's just wishing to be noticed.
I can see that. If anything, it's more of a song of having that person your attracted to take notice of how you feel. It's a little sad if you think about it.
I don't think the song is creepy in the least. It's simply about caring about someone and feeling invisible. Haven't we all felt that way about someone, at one time or another.
I find it so flattering when someone’s that dedicated-it’s like they’ve made me the center of their world! Honestly, I’ve even dated guys who have stalked me, and they turned out to be the most loyal and protective partners.
They tried to make it look "raw", but have you ever seen a live musical performance. There is no way they could film this in one take without staging it.
I don't care that Clay Aiken is a gay man. Why would I? Who cares what he does with his personal life? This guy was, at this exact time, in his absolute prime. When he looks back on his life he's going to see this moment, and he's going to remember just how awesome that moment was. But seriously do you guys remember when Love was universally handed out like candy at a parade for instance? When you could just reach out and everybody was willing to give a hug and a pat on the back? It's around this time I think that we lost sight of that. Everyone is so quick to just slam on complete strangers over absolutely nothing. But if you just watch this video, and watch how people of all races and economic backgrounds just come together and don't judge one another, there is so much greatness in this world than what you see on the news. Love is everywhere if you want to receive it. God bless you my brothers and sisters.
Tiffany Wilhelmsen I was in Elementary school when this song came out. It was literally my favorite as a kid. I got bullied so much for it, because I liked him even after he came out as gay. Back where I lived, it wasn’t acceptable to be gay. I didn’t care. I’ve also personally met him and had several phone conversations with Clay. He’s an amazing human being, an excellent politician and he stands for what it’s like to live in a small town. Love clay! ❤️
Popularity comes and goes in the music field.. but when he had his turn at the top he was incredible..one of the strongest voices in the industry..a huge success story from American idol..
Watched a documentary about American Idol and all of its spin-offs and was reminded of this song and remembered how much I used to love it. Hearing it again, it's still so good????? 😭
Hey!!!!!.... I'm 47 and still love my baby Clay!!!!!..... Don't let it come on in the supermarket!!!..... I'm singing it and dancing!!!... Forgetting what I'm supposed to be getting for a minute!!!!! 🤣🤣🤣🤣♥️♥️♥️♥️💯💯💯💯
Aside from the staker aspect I love how people cheer at the "wait I already am" that's supposed to be sad.. it's a realization you're completely invisible to someone you love.
This video is absolutely incredible. What *Clay* does for that shy, fat girl at 2:37 is such a beautiful thing. It shows you just the kind of loving person *Clay* is. You could see the rest of the audience applauding him for it. The girl will most likely treasure that experience for a long time to come. Way to go *Clay!*
I wasn't there this day but I sure wish I was. I want to go into this audience, and give a huge bear hug to every one of them. I don't get a lot of hugs, and maybe that's my fault. But I just want to change that. I'm a super huggy guy I just don't get the opportunity very often. Big huge bear hugs to all these folks who appreciate wonderful unity and the binding agent that is music.
hi daisyannabelle6! i too wept as if jesus had died in my arms to the evil intentions of Judas. his voice reminds me of my grandfather. oh that man. he died in a firebombing gone wrong in vietnam. i was not even alive. this song brings me peace, because it was my grandfather's favorite.
This used to be my jam! And whenever I felt invisible around someone I liked... I'd listen to this.... Just so happened... It was all the time... Still love this song to this day
Here because I just saw the episode Phineas and Ferb that he sung a song in on Disney Channel. Funny enough the song he was singing with Shaka Kann was titled "Measure of a Man" which is the title of this album.
I love Clay Atkins music he is amazing. I hope he is still recording. His voice is like an angel. Love you Clay please keep making you wonderful music. 😇😇🥰🥰❤️❤️
listening this song on radio, when i was junior high school 21 years ago...
This is such a great song, it should have been a bigger hit for Clay Aiken.
all his songs should ve been bigger - his voice is AMAZE balls
It was pretty big back then
its a great song, but also creepy. they should have wrote another hit for him to sing
I miss this era of my life. No smartphones.
Simple life.
*Juice box*
❤😀👍
I mean.... at any point you can... just put it down and walk away. Just a reminder.
YEAH
@@commonsense.1014 Tell that to millions of mindless folks who can't seem to do that. My phone barely ever goes with me when I leave the house.
I haven't heard this song in probably 15 years, and all it took was a single verse before I remembered the whole song. How did I ever forget this gem?
@Marty McFly II And? That tends to happen when people age.
Because it’s so forgettable? Like his first, and soon to be again 2nd failed congressional run. I dunno maybe 🤷♂ 😂🤣🤣
2022
din know this was him till now
Literally me tonight as I was randomly in the mood for this song. What a gem for real 🔥 stalker jokes are hilarious too haha
I think everyone has had this feeling 😊
So true..

Who's still here?! Use to LOVE this song!!
Been around since the beginning. Hope you got a chance to get Clay's NEW CHRISTMAS MUSIC "CHRISTMAS BELLS ARE RINGING" It's great and it's 2024.
I remember when this guy was the biggest thing in pop. Went from "invisible" nerd to mega pop star. Nice work Clay
I remember this too Clay became even more bigger than Ruben Studdard who was the actual American Idol winner.
@@baggergurl16 They are best friends and do shows together.
Only because there was a problem with the phone lines - there were too many people trying to call in for Clay and they couldn’t get in.
"If hearts were unbreakable then I could just tell you where I stand" a line everyone can relate to at least once in their lives.
20 years ago American Idol Clay Aiken released his first hit. It was great that grassroots talent such as Clay Aiken rose to stardom on platforms such as American Idol.
This whole album is still good.
"If I was invisible.
Wait, I already am."
I felt that... 💔
Who wouldn't?
u know it gurl
Now that you said that and I remembered this song, it hurts my heart.
💀
"If hearts were unbreakable then i could tell you where I stand".Lines are deep
Deep and creepy
@@cashunknown1736 NOT creepy, romantic and totally understandable.
@@moonlightlady6126 You have to forgive the ignorance of those who don't see the meaning behind the lyrics and automatically assume the worst.
When you haven't heard a song in awhile. You forget how much you liked it. He has a strong voice.

True!
Amen.
Clay will always be my American Idol. ❤❤❤❤

Go watch this season of The Masked Singer!!
Same. XD. I'm 32.
Me too. Born in 1990
This song is timeless..It's a masterpiece!!
Yes. Masterpiece. If I was invisible I’d watch you in your room
Omg yes..I remember the first time I heard it I was excited cause it was like a 90s song...
@@OutnowMediaProductionsit's one of the best songs ever,both versions of this and d-sides are amazing.
The fact that this crowd was all real. ❤ They just started to do the video and people showed up!!! 💕 I miss this voice 😢
Fun fact this staged I was there
I was an extra at 1:05
Are you being serious?
@@scarlettroger1508 facts I got paid to be there and the producers walked through what we were going to do.

20 years later, i still coming back to this song😻
👏🏻
I want to go back 20 years ago.Things we’re so much better then. 2020s suck!
Indeed❤❤❤😢
We all do. Heck yeah.
keep coming back for more

I love you Clay. We need more new music from you
Especially now texting and you never really knowing if the girl you like is “really alone” or just lying.
Your thoughts are pure. Many people knee jerk is creepy! It’s not a bad song. Not what they are making it to be..
Solid point, I put a comment on here but I was joking around @@karimbarrie9244
I forgot all about him until now. I had the biggest crush on him growing up, I was OBSESSED!! I could sing this entire song word for word even today at 30 🥺
The girl crying because she loves Clay Aiken. My heart
Well, the lyricist had good intentions...
Dang. This is one of the catchiest songs I know! You just can't help but fall in LOVE with it and play it over and over again!
Desmond Child has a rare gift, indeed.
Sout out to everyone in 2024 still listening to this!
So you where born in the 90d to correct
he was on masked singer

there's dozens of us

this is so catchy and upbeat

I totally agree.

Is it really still team clay vs team aiken? Lmao
I can't hate this song is full of iconic memories
Three important points:
1. This is one GREAT video. Natural, pure joy from the crowd.
2. This is one HELL of a song!! Tell me it's not. Really listen to it.
3. Clay Aiken is one FANTASTIC singer, natural and pure voice. No
one else came close to his talent on American "Idle".
Fuck, Reuben Studard destroyed this punk.
+Andrew Hammond I'm so sorry you have total hearing loss.
+Anne Hajdu I'm equally sorry someone damaged your mind with boy band propaganda and as such anyone with that Nsync sound is amazing to you.
+Andrew Hammond whoa whoa...whoa! nsync sucked, in my opinion. backstreet boys had some catchy tunes but nsync has always been at the bottom.
I agree with you 200 %
I was chosen to be in this video and I still remember this day! it was incredible 😍 love you Clay!
Which one is you ?
Clay has the most unique voice; his performances pull you in. Love him and Rueben!!!!!!!
First time hearing this when i was 17. Now im 34. How time flies but never gets bored of this song
This song, along with the rest of his debut album, was on repeat in 2003!
This song is also for people who love a person so much but the other person does not reciprocate. Makes them feel invisible.
The way he moves is just infectious. There's so much passion in the way he performs.
Can't deny it's a catchy song. Although it's creepy, I think everyone's had that one person they were slightly obsessed with. You would do anything to be with them. It's not about abusing them, it's just wishing to be noticed.

I love how raw this footage is... Clay filming with actual fans rather than extras being paid to watch him sing
Lmao you think those are actual fans?
@@aakksshhaayy Apparently he wanted people who were fans of his music.
Yeah actually I was an extra 1:05
They are paid actors
They tried to make it look "raw", but have you ever seen a live musical performance. There is no way they could film this in one take without staging it.
One of those forgotten songs from around 2003-2004.

This is a masterpiece I can still vividly remember every single detail of the melody
Great how people just showed up for this 👏 kudos clay you made their day.

He's so cute. Go Clay
he's not a bad looking guy at all. He's adorable. that's kind of rude.
well they do matter, and maybe you should adjust your current glasses prescription. Clay is a VERY attractive person as his MANY fans will attest to.

Why did he start wearing double-breasted suits? He still has no sense of fashion.
@@NoteFromSELF 😂
It's in my playlist and I still have goosebumps and sing it every time it comes up.
Invisible... invincible... hearts were unbreakable... Invisible I already am....then a fantastic bridge. A very well put together song.
My favorite song and favorite American idol
I wasn't there this day but I sure wish I was. I want to go into this audience, and give a huge bear hug to every one of them. I don't get a lot of hugs, and maybe that's my fault. But I just want to change that. I'm a super huggy guy I just don't get the opportunity very often. Big huge bear hugs to all these folks who appreciate wonderful unity and the binding agent that is music.
The only American Idol season I watched. Doesn't matter HE lost the battle - HE WON THE WAR.
After the show HE had the most success.
Just like Adam
Did he really ? 🤔🤔
yikes. That's sad as hell for the others.
I forget which season he was on
@@seanjenkins331 he was Season 8. Lost to Kris Allen. Looks like Adam is the real winner though! After his mishap on the AMA in 09 though Lol.

Chris C. Likewise!!!
Chris C. Must’ve been the flash mob in the video.
Same here. On the train. Why though
