Clay Aiken Is Bringing Sexy Back

Clay Aiken claims that he’s just an unhip dork, but come on - can an entire nation of grandmas really be wrong?

Clay Aiken — despite the stylishly shaggy ‘do — still isn’t hip.

“I’m never going to be, and I’m fine with that. We all must embrace our inner dork,” he says with a laugh.

Aiken has still managed a successful post-American Idol career as the soundtrack of choice for enthusiastic grandmothers.

“People always come up to me and say, ‘My grandmother’s your biggest fan,’” says Aiken, 28. “There’s a misconception among these ladies that I’m cool and hip and now. And they think that by liking me, it makes them cool and hip and now.

“But shhh. We aren’t going to tell them that I’m not cool and hip at all.”

In the interview, Clay answered questions about things like the state of pop music today and, dude, seriously, why are your fans so crazy?

Q. Fans still get worked up over you. What’s with the enduring Claymania?

A. I don’t get it. I don’t know why. They don’t see me right now in my pajamas, with my hair all messed up, one contact out. There’s nothing to be excited about, honestly.

Q. Do you hear anything on Top 40 radio that you can relate to?

A. This Rihanna girl — she’s got a great voice. I really think she deserves to be where she is … . [But] what happened to Whitney Houston on the radio? Not literally — let’s not go there — but what happened to that kind of stuff on Top 40? I think nowadays radio doesn’t care how good someone sings. They just care whether or not people can fake having sex while standing up dancing to it. That’s all they want.

Q. Will we ever see you bring SexyBack?

A. I’m actually going to do — God help me for saying this — with [the orchestra], a little bit of SexyBack. We’re going to do a little medley of songs that people wouldn’t expect to hear with an orchestra.

I could never pull songs like that off without knowing where my place is, and it’s not as Justin Timberlake. Thank God we have him. I’m happy to be the person who gets the old ladies covered.

I have twenty bucks that says some Claymate just read the “messy hair and in my pajamas” quote and immediately wrote some fanfic about waking up next to Clay.

The terrorists have already won.
