Clay Aiken won’t be going on tour with Adam Lambert any time soon.
In fact, he may not even subscribe to Lambert’s Twitter account!
When asked about the polarizing American Idol runner-up, Aiken (who is also gay and who also finished second during season three of the series) replied:
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.
Are you on Team Clay or Team Lambert?
