Clay Aiken (born Clayton Holmes Grissom on November 30, 1978) is a popular American singer who rose to fame on the American Idol television program, and who has become the most successful second-place finisher in that show's history, even handily eclipsing that year's "Idol" winner in sales. His first CD, Measure of a Man, went triple platinum and was the subject of conflicting reviews: Many fans and some critics recognized and admired the pure pop sound ("so pure it floats") and top-notch production values while others heard only a manufactured sound, noting that the singer hadn't earned his musical chops but "merely" sang his way to the hearts of millions on television, a perceived unjust leap-frogging of "the true path of the true artist." Merry Christmas With Love was his first Christmas album, and unusually for such a seasonal offering, it too went platinum, again with soaring, crystalline vocals and beautiful production work. His accompanying seasonal tour, The Joyful Noise tour, allowed him to combine his faith and moral vision with the triumphant power vocals his audiences had come to love. His latest offering, 2006's A Thousand Different Ways, was, through the direction of mega-producer Clive Davis, largely a covers CD, ten of the fourteen cuts being well known melodic pop songs ranging from Richard Marx, Bryan Adams, Dolly Parton, Mister Mister, and Elton John. Two other songs, available only on digital versions of the album, are "If You Don't Know Me By Now" (through K-Mart.com) and "Lover All Alone" (through iTunes and co-written by Aiken himself).

The Way Lyrics
Clay Aiken
There's somethin' 'bout the way
You look tonight
There's somethin' bout the way that
I can't take my eyes off you
There's somethin' 'bout the way
Your lips invite
Maybe it's the way that
I get nervous when you're around
And I want you to be mine
And if you need a reason why
It's in the way that
You move me
And the way that
You tease me
The way that
I want you tonight
It's in the way that
You hold me
And the way that
You know me
And when I can't find
The right words to say
You feel it in the way
Oh, feel it in the way
Somethin' 'bout how you stay on my mind
There's somethin' 'bout the way that
I whisper your name when I'm asleep, oh, girl
Maybe it's the look
You get in your eyes
Oh, baby, it's the way that
It makes me feel to see you smile
And the reasons they may change
But what I'm feelin' stays the same
In the way that
You move me
And the way that
You tease me
The way that
I want you tonight (tonight)
It's in the way that
You hold me
And the way that
You know me
And when I can't find
The right words to say
You feel it in the way
Oh, feel it in the way
I can't put my fingers on
Just what it is that makes me
Love you, you, baby
So don't ask me to describe
I get all choked up inside
Just thinkin' 'bout the way
It's in the way that (Oh)
You move me
And the way that
You tease me
The way that I want you tonight (tonight)
Oh (It's in the way that)
You hold me (the way you hold me, yeah)
And the way that
You know me (the way you know me)
When I can find the right words to say (Feel it in the)
It's in the way that
You move me
And the way that
You tease me (feelin')
The way-ay-ay-ay-ay ~ (feel it in the way)
There's somethin' 'bout the way you look tonight
There's nothin' more to say than
I feel it in the way
