As we predicted earlier, Clay Aiken is the latest American Idol finalist to be dropped by RCA Records recently. Before him were Blake Lewis, Katharine McPhee, Taylor Hicks and Ruben Studdard.

Some now speculate that Clay being dropped this week is just part of RCA cleaning house, while others wonder if it is something more. The last year has brought a lot of controversy around Clay Aiken from his sexuality to the fact that he chose to have a child with a friend out of wedlock.� Could that be the real reason?

One thing’s for sure: Clay’s teenybopper fan base has surely massively declined since his open gayness and baby-making with a friend has commenced. RCA is probably just trying to cover their tail in a declining economy and getting rid of people who aren’t selling records. Business is business, people.
