Clay Aiken Issues Rambling, Self-Righteous Apology to Adam Lambert
by Hilton Hater at .During a rambling blog entry - which included digs at bloggers for following his words more closely than the economy or the welfare of children around the globe - Clay Aiken sort of apologized to Adam Lambert for disparaging remarks he posted earlier in the week.
Many Lambert fans have taken Clay to task for referring to this season's runner-up as "contrived, awful and frightening."
In response, Aiken writes:
If only many [bloggers] took the time to pay attention to important things like the US economy and the welfare of the world's children. But… nah… I could blog about that type of stuff anytime and most wouldn't think twice, but let me say something that they can pick and choose quotes and misinterpret me… and it's showtime! I never assumed my opinion mattered so much! I guess I may have been wrong...
Since my previous blog got dissected like a biology lab frog, i suppose I should clarify and even retract some of what I wrote. I am sure that some were upset by my choice of words describing my opinion of a performance I heard from Adam Lambert.
I hope no one actually believed that blood truly poured forth from my ears when I heard him. I obviously meant it as a colorful statement to imply that I did not enjoy what I heard. Any performer hopes that their music will appeal to all people, but no singer realistically expects it to.
I definitely don't want to stoop to the level of so many negative freaks on the internet… so, I do apologize to Adam for my colorful (and negative) choice of words. I hope he can forgive me. I imagine he doesn't give a d---! God knows he shouldn't.
Clay Aiken thinks everyone (except for himself, apparently) should focus on world poverty instead of American Idol.

Clay made his comment on his private message board. I think we still have the right to have an opinion. He's not jealous of Lambert as he has his own life, career, and opinions.
Every once in a while I find myself reading a blog. What amazes me is how often people are irrate because someone else has an opinion that is unlike their own. Does anyone else see how idiotic that is??? These two talents would be like comparing apples to oranges. It's a matter of personal taste and no one need apoligize for that.
Clay is jealous of Adam and others. Clay needs to learn to shut his mouth. He has dissed tons of people since his early Idol days, and has burned many bridges. Claymates need to get a life! Clay has no use for anyone unless they spend money on him. What kind of moron spends $35,000 to have dinner with Clay, only to be told by his overweight bodyguard what to say, and what not to say, to Clay? His career's over anyway. Hope Angela and Quiana have found a better job. At least Angie won't have to hear jokes on stage about her big boobs anymore. Clay is very disrespectful, or was that part of his game?
If Clay Aiken wanted to comment in such a way about another artist's performance, he should expect certain reactions from the performer. It's only natural. The use of language in the comment is offensive, that is a fact. Since Clay Aiken has the right to comment, Adam has the right to defend himself. Clay Aiken is beign honest about how he feels, so is Adam.
Clay was not pumping up his season. He said the first 3 seasons were about looking for unpolished non-professional talent and by season 4 the show lost its way. He is totally right in everything he said.
