Early in his American Idol run, James Durbin resented comparisons to Adam Lambert.

Now, the just-ousted finalist resents comments recently made by the former runner-up. In an interview with month with The Hollywood Reporter, Lambert said of Durbin:

“I think he’s got talent and passion 100 percent, but I feel like he’s trying way too hard. Also, his niche is so limited with the metal… I didn’t feel like I was seeing an original artist. And I’m not saying he doesn’t have that in him, but it hasn’t been showing.”

In response, Durbin said to MTV: “I was nothing more than nice to that guy and, you know, he decided to take it to a different level. So, whatever.”
