My biggest beef about Clay is that he keeps on harping on the fact that his season is the ideal season with two raw talents competing. The two raw talents have NOT risen above the bar of mediocrity that they have set for themselves six whole years after Idol. Bottomline is I would rather give a platform to obscure talents who have the passion for music, who live and breathe music polishing their talents in their own little corner of America before deeming themselves worthy of national exposure via Idol than the Clays and Rubens of this world.

This is ridiculus. Clay Should not have even apologized to begin with. He gave his opinion, end of discussion. No body is asking Adam fans to apologize for things said about Kris. GET OVER IT PEOPLE.

Clay offered his opinion when asked by a fan on his fan site, is the way I understand it. He then offered a gracious apology for his use of words. Simon said much worse about Adam ROF performance. Funny thing is, I bet Adam would not have any issues with Clay original comments or his apology. Most posted are bashing Clay for what they themselves are doing here. That's the pot calling the kettle black. I think both Clay and Adam are great entertainers.

Maybe Clay should vocus more on World poverty, rather than blogging about someone else's performance. Good thing he's not a judge for American Idol!

Lol, even Simon and a few other respectable people in the music business thought Adam's version of Ring of Fire was HORRIBLE! Poor Mr Cash was probably rolling over in his grave. Clay has as much right to post his opinion as any other red blooded American, at least he took the time to offer an apology, and as for being self righteous, hardly! And he does have a point, the haters are the ones posting here with their hateful SPEW instead of worrying about the numbers of people on the streets with no jobs and hungry. Get a life and get off the internet you people are quickly joining the ranks of the lovely paparazzi, God knows how lovable they are!
