I don't really blame Adam, Clay's words were truly classless, it's not about how successful he's been, I really do believe he crossed the line with those "colorful" comments.

Are you crazy...Adam was only answering a reporters question. He did not say anything nasty, nowhere near what clay said about him and only after the backlash he received did he then post another comment trying to justify what he said in a different way...blah blah blah. By the way Clay looks like an extra terrestrial!

The difference is that Clay gave an opinion of ONE PERFORMANCE at his PRIVATE fansite, meant only for the eyes of his fans in answer to their questions. Adam has been now, it seems, making a "Bash Clay Aiken's Career & Character" tour to radio stations & TV shows. Clay didn't make it personal, Adam did.

Chill out people. Adam was joking. I mean if someone said something like that about you, then you would say something. Adam is very classy and when he's a world wide phenom he'll be laughing at all of you. Clay was extremely wrong and adam responded in a very decent way. It's about time that Clay got bashed for this! GO ADAM ALL THE WAY!
AdamLuvsAdam Says:
May 29th, 2009 12:16 AM
Wow, I thought Adam was above this kind of catty meanness. I don't agree with Clay's assessment of Adam's ROF performance, but he certainly had a right to his opinion. He wrote it in private, it was stolen & printed. Adam, on the other hand, goes to the media directly with his arrogance. There are many things he could have said that would have shown class, but he chose to take the low road, ignoring Clay's apology & suggesting that Clay has no career. I think Tina Fey, David Foster, Mike Nichols & Eric Idle might challenge you on that one, Glambert. I won't even go into how tactless his comments against the KISS frontman are.

You people are sick. First you take Adam's side and say he should have won American Idol and how he's the most talented, wonderful guy ever. Now against Clay, Adam is called classless? Make up your mind!!! I could have sworn just the other day you were all having your panties in a bunch because Adam lost to Kris?
tobey Says:
May 29th, 2009 1:18 AM
What people are you talking about, Sara? Not me. I like both Adam & Kris & Clay & Ruben. And David C. & David A. I'm an equal opportunity Idol fan. Lots of Idol alum have criticized the performances of other Idols, some on their fansites, some to the media. Some of them have criticized or made fun of Clay. NONE of them have ever been raked over the coals like Clay has. He's taken the high road for 6 years, but maybe now that he's out & in love & has his own child, he finally feels comfortable enough to tell the truth about how he feels about the show. He's so far had a great career & doesn't need anyone's coattails, much less someone fresh off a singing competition. Clay apologized to Adam for his remarks, but NO ONE has EVER apologized to Clay in all this time. I was hoping Adam wouldn't pile on to the "It's cool to trash Clay Aiken" trash heep, but there you have it. His laughing along with the DJs who have disrespected Clay all along made me reconsider my opinion of him.

Please. What Clay Aiken did was LASHING. This from Adam Lambert was more like a "So what?"
Dani Says:
May 29th, 2009 2:35 AM
"So what?" would have been "No comment" or "It's Clay's opinion, fair enough" or "I don't expect everyone to like me". What Adam said on both radio & TV was "Clay's desperate for attention because he has no career." Pretty much parrotting what his childish fans have been saying for the past week. They've also been going on & on about what an angel Adam is & he would never put anyone down for any reason. Guess they don't know him like they thought they did. He can be as catty & mean & arrogant as anyone.

Whatever Adam said to Clay, Clay had it coming. His comments were truly tasteless and show a deep lack of respect for other performers. Not to mention what a low class creep he is. Everyone is entitled to their own opinion, even a creep like Clay. But why would he say something so blatantly hurtful to someone who appears to be a very nice and classy guy? Clay's a bitter old queen whose career has taken a nose dive. If he can't take it, then he needs to stop dishing it out!
round_hole Says:
May 29th, 2009 3:51 AM
Clay didn't say it "TO" Adam, for crying out loud. Can you people not even read? This was a PRIVATE Q&A with his fans, not meant for public consumption. Clay's psycho stalker who everyone gives a pass (even the E!channel) bragged that he stole the blog & sent it to the gossip sites. Clay was NOT expecting anyone to see this except the fans he was having a terrific conversation with about all sorts of things. It wasn't meant to hurt Adam. Adam's comments, however, were obviously MEANT to be hurtful, on public airwaves. That is the difference you Glamberts can't understand.
nomore Says:
May 29th, 2009 4:18 AM
Adam just lost me as a fan. Bad enough being so new and slamming someone who has at least had a pretty good career like Aiken, but dude even thinks he is good enough to diss Gene mother Fn Simmons!!! Calm down Adam, the media loves to build you up just to tear you down. It will do you well to remember that.
David Says:

As a big fan of Clay's AND Adam's I was hugely disappointed in Clay. But am even more disappointed in Adam. That's catty. He should have taken the high road.
elle Says:

I dont clay but I know that its easy to appologise later as long as your point is bought across, Adam at least is speaking from the heart, I mean everyone is human now just bcoz clay apologised makes his world better. Just leave Adam alone, I would say people would be blind if they cant see God has clearly gifted Adam with a very important gift so instead of pulling him down , help him make the most of what God initially gave him. Clay apology excepted but next time think b4 saying something.. especially you people who r under the spot light God bless

Jae Says:

I am really glad that Adam had his say on Clay and essentially blew it all off. Clay was arrogant and stupid to make a public judgement about Adam after one song. But Clay has had his time. His last Album didn't exactly burn up the music charts. I never even heard one single on the radio. He has lost the graciousness he had on the show.

Exactly where did Adam get those coattails that he seems to think he has? I don't recall him having any success outside of being in the ensemble of Wicked - and it wasn't even on Broadway. And critisizing Gene Simmons too? The dude is a legend. Does Adam's head still fit through normal doorways or are they bringing him in through the loading dock to do interviews?
what? Says:
May 29th, 2009 11:32 AM
If people can't see the difference between what Clay said (and how he said it) and what and how Adam said... let me simplify...
Clay
1. Speaking of one song, not personal
2. Clarified that it was his opinion based on limited viewing
3. Said it on private message board
4. Said it once and even apologized
Adam
1. Speaking of a career and motives. Speaks to personal character.
2. Never clarified that it was just his opinion, but stated as fact in cocky manner
3. Said it publically
4. Said it twice so far and seems to be getting more condescending with each mention
I say Adam has way to big an ego.

Everyone needs to keep in mind who started this all (CLAY)! I am a fan of both Adam and Clay but now that Adam has responded, everyone is saying that Adam showed no Class? Are you kidding me??? Adam was attacked first, he only did what most humans would do...he attacked back, and to be honest, Clay's remarks were worst. Yes, it's easy to say that Adam should have responded with "Class", but not so easy to do when you are the one being attacked. And for all of you that say "Adam, you just lost a fan" or "Clay, you just lost a fan", you are being so childish...I mean, both guys show a little of their human side and now because they are not the saints that you thought they were, they have now lost you as a fan???? All I can say is that you could have not been much of a fan to begin with and you need to take some of your on advise on showing a little bit of "CLASS".

Looked like Clay was have a blonde moment because when an Idol "attacks" two other Idols that is not just poor form, it is asking for trouble. Adam and Kris both came out smelling like roses on this and Clay lost me as a fan. I like that Adam who was pointedly asked to comment on it did not spend much time on it. He said the above and then moved on. Folks are trying to make it into a slam but it wasn't it wasn't given that much emphasize in his diction. But, it makes his comments even stronger as it was like, I don't know him next question. A lot of other celebrities would have been harsher and taken it to the next level. Adam did not.

Clay looses, Adam wins. Clay was just being a jerk and Adam was really smart and tactful with his reply. I'm not longer a Clay Aiken fan. Someone that mean to other up and comings is not a mentor for me. I want someone I can look up to and would want to be a friend, role model, next door neighbor. That is Adam Lambert.
