The Independent Tour I think what it was called.” American Idol finalists Ruben Studdard and Clay Aiken at the broadcast of the show’s final competition on May 20, 2003 at the Universal Amphitheatre in Burbank, California.
“We did a show on Broadway together, too,” the singer continued. “We went on tour last year for the 20th anniversary and I’m sure we’ll do stuff again. I mean we’re sort of inseparable.”The duo has stayed close over the years, with Clarkson adding, “It’s such an odd couple of seeing you two but it so works.
“My son got to the age where I didn’t want to be away,” he said. “I wanted to be home more often, so I wanted to do what would allow me to be in one place all the time. And I thought I could make a difference with that. Nobody makes a difference in politics.”Clay Aiken and Ruben Studdard, winners of ‘American Idol’ Season 2 , and Kelly Clarkson , winner of ‘American Idol’ Season 1 .
