And he is Barry Manilow.
Yes, that is what struck me most about American Idol tonight (actually, it was pretty fun to see the talent pool that we missed during the hokey auditions). I’m not sure whether it’s because Barry Manilow has had way too much plastic surgery and he looks like he’s thirty, or if Aiken’s dye job is the clincher.
Or maybe I’m obsessed with look-alikes this week after watching Omar Epps lead the Steelers to victory on Sunday night.
What do you think? Do you see it?

hahah – i just read the title, looked at the pictures, and laughed out loud.
Barry Manilow has made a similar comment himself. I happened to see something on public television this weekend (think it was a Vegas show) and Barry said something to the effect of “Clay Aiken, this is you in 30 years.” (wildly paraphrasing here)

That is too funny! I guess I might actually have something here…. :-)
Manilow is a LOT less frightening-looking than Aiken. And a lot more talented.
LOL! That’s so uncanny… Debbie, have you been visiting TMZ? :P

No, did they say something about Aiken and Manilow looking alike too?
No, they do things like this though, yours was the best I’ve seen yet. I totally didn’t even notice how similar they look.
