Clay Aiken's iPhone Walk and Talk

American Idol runner-up Clay Aiken chats on his Apple iPhone as he strolls along Montana Ave in Brentwood, Los Angeles on Wednesday.

Clay looked summery in his linen blazer and leather sandals as he went to have lunch with friends at Louise’s.

His latest album, On My Way Here debuted this week at #4 with 94,071 units sold this week. Clay‘s previous album, A Thousand Different Ways, started at No. 2 in 2006, with the much larger sales of 211,000.

Clay has said On My Way Here represents the last five years of his life, but that he didn’t write any of the material. He said he’s “not great” at songwriting and that he’d rather “let the people who are experts in that field do what they do, and I’ll do what I do.”
