Clay Aiken Thinks That Adam Lambert Is "Contrived, Awful & Frightening"
Now you would think that Clay Aiken would have been the first person to be upset about Adam Lambert's loss on American Idol because of their vast similarities. They’re both gay, came in second place on AI, they’re both into theater, and they both have girls going crazy for them. But somehow that's not enough to gain Clay's approval. When asked what he thought about this season's American Idol he said that he tries to watch one episode a season just to see what the stage is like. This season he caught the country themed episode where Adam sang Ring of Fire. Clay was not blown away like the rest of us.
He wrote on his $29.99 a month website (surprisingly yes, he does have a fan club willing to dish out that much money):
I only turn the show on once a season, and only to see what the set looks like each year. This year, I happened to turn it during the minute that Adam Lambert was singing “Ring of Fire” and, at that moment, thought my ears would bleed. Contrived, awful, and slightly frightening!
I wasn’t really a fan and found myself surprised whenever folks told me that they liked him. Granted, I never saw another performance (and many folks who I trust said that he was great) but I can’t imagine I would have enjoyed it. Just not my cup of tea at all. To each his own.
I will admit if that was the only performance I had seen of Adam all season I would have been put off a little two but still. I think Clay has to have a little bit of jealousy bottled up. I think Adam has way more fans than Clay ever will and will sell more records and will gain more fame. So take that Clay Aiken.
