Neil Sedaka tells Clay Aiken that ''Solitaire'' is now his
Aiken had spent weeks entertaining us with lighthearted covers of ''I Can’t Help Myself,'' ''Everlasting Love,'' and ''Tell Her About It,'' but the singer hit his stride with a mature, breathtaking performance of Neil Sedaka's ''Solitaire'' during Top 5 week. And he did so right in front of Sedaka himself — the emotional guest judge told Aiken, ''Bravo, Clay, I have lost my song forever to you. It will always be a Clay Aiken song.'' Goose bumps! —Kate Ward
