Highly doubt any of this story is factual. Clay has said on numerous occaisions that he doesn't watch Idol and hasn't in years, so he wouldn't know anything about the contestants this year. In addition he knows the drill and would not arbitrarily 'walk in' and expect to be a mentor. That idea is just plain stupid. This entire bit of 'insider' info smells stinky. He left 19E early on, but has appeared on Idol several times since..doesn't indicate a grudge at all.
I don't think Clay is a fan of Adam's any more than he is of any of the other contestants. He has said numerous times that he hasn't watched Idol in years -- including this year. He stated as much last week on his official site. He has, though, often said how much he enjoyed the show and how well he had always been treated. I don't blame Clay or Kelly, either, for breaking away from 19E. They own your soul. And, by the way, the birthday party was an important event.
I'm talking about Clay showing up on the set of American Idol, not some birthday party.
And I cited my source at the bottom of the post.

Where did you get your information? Clay recently flew to Los Angeles to go to the producer's birthday party. I don't think he would have gone all that way if he hadn't been invited.
I don't follow Idol that closely, forgot if he was on last season - I barely watched last season. I think that Clay may have gotten snubbed because he was dropped from his label, not him cutting management ties.

IF this is true, American Idol is very petty for holding a grudge. Kelly and Clay were the first success stories from that show. Clay's been on the show a bunch of times in the past couple years, so I'm not sure I believe this. As recently as last season, they did a big feature on him while on Broadway.

Oh, come on! It is a fact that businesses, including Idol's 19 Management Co., are always mindful about its various business practices. But to deny backstage access to someone who's helped make the show successful borders on mistreatment!

Okay. Thanks for clarifying, Kendra. :)
