American Idol Season 2 runner-up Clay Aiken returned to the reality competition series that made him a star this week to perform his new single “Rewind.” He also reprised a song he sang on the show when he competed on it, “Don’t Let the Sun Go Down on Me,” paired with Top 5 finalist Braden Rumfelt.
TV Insider caught up with Aiken right after his live performance to chat about his experience on Idol, what it was like enduring caustic remarks from then-judges Simon Cowell and Randy Jackson, and more.
