		Aiken, who vaulted this year from college student obscurity to pop music stardom as a runner-up on the television show "American Idol," graduated Saturday from the University of North Carolina at Charlotte.

The clip of the judges' surprise during this audition performance was replayed many times over the course of the competition.
		Aiken made it to the round-of-32, but was cut from the show on his first try, a performance of Journey's "Open Arms." He finished third in his semifinal group of eight behind eventual winner Ruben Studdard and eventual third-place finisher Kimberley Locke.
		Aiken denied he was gay in a Rolling Stone interview in June, 2003, and, in fact, he good-naturedly lampooned such speculation in the opening monologue featuring him as a member of a gay men's chorus when he appeared as the musical guest on Saturday Night Live's February 7, 2004 show [2] (http://www.saturday-night-live.com/snl/reviews/03-04/mullally/link.html).

	The Bubel/Aiken Foundation Interview
		Diane Bubel: I really think that when you have a special needs child, you need to monitor very closely what is going on throughout the school day, because autism is a difficult disability; there are certain people who understand it and other people who don’t.
		Then we decided, once we formed the foundation, that it could be more than just sponsoring summer camps, that we could represent the idea that all children should be able to function in life together, whether you have a disability or you don’t have a disability.
		Fran Skinner-Lewis: The driving force of Clay Aiken and Diane Bubel is to address all of the needs of families with developmental disabilities and the different choices inclusion brings to families; in short, inclusion supported by education.
