American Idol runner up turned music star Clay Aiken returns with his sophmore effort A Thousand Different Ways, in which he takes on popular love songs from the 70's and 80's including Richard Marx's "Right Here Waiting" and Foreigner's "I Want to Know What Love Is."

| Album Notes and Credits |
Notes & Personnel Info |  | Personnel: John Fields (guitars, keyboards, bass guitar); Owsley, Greg Suran (guitars); Michele Richards, Charlie Bisharat (violin); Matt Funes (viola); Larry Corbett (cello); Tommy Barbarella (keyboards); Dorian Crozier (drums); Ken Chastain (percussion). |  | On his mature third album, American Idol runner-up Clay Aiken mostly sticks to the pop-rock songbook: over two-thirds of the 14 songs are covers of familiar pop tunes like Elton John's "Sorry Seems To Be the Hardest Word" and Richard Marx's "Right Here Waiting." It's a power ballad-heavy set that plays to Aiken's emotive strengths, and the smooth arrangements effectively recast the occasionally cheesy originals. (For example, his version of Daryl Hall's "Everytime You Go Away" has a much less gimmicky setting than Paul Young's mid-'80s hit.) A THOUSAND DIFFERENT WAYS hints that Aiken's powerful pipes may result in more staying power than his Idol status would have previously indicated. | Producer: Adam Anders; Andreas Carlsson; John Fields |

| Bio |
| Although he never actually won AMERICAN IDOL, finishing second to soul heavyweight Ruben Studdard at the conclusion of the show's second season in 2003, crooner Clay Aiken was able to parlay his inoffensive brand of easy-listening pop and fresh-faced charm into a successful career that ultimately eclipsed Studdard's. Equipped with an undeniable set of pipes, Aiken fills a comfortable spot between Celine Dion and Michael Bolton.
