Clay Aiken shared his thoughts about this year’s Idol on his website, and it turns out, he’s not all that fond of Adam Lambert:
“Now that it’s all over, and for the record…. I couldn’t be happier about the way AI ended this year. 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.”
Discuss.
Oh, and P.S. – it’s being reported that Kris won by kind of a lot! Like – it wasn’t even a close finish or anything! I feel vindicated, somehow.

He tunes in “just to see how the set looks?” Oh, please.
He looks scary here–like some strange Willy Wonka or something.
When did Clay Aiken become Carrot Top’s little brother? That’s really freaky…
um clay aiken calling adam lambert slightly frightning is like the pot calling kettle black……..or gay
Do I see a three dollar bill sticking out of his pocket?
To be fair, he’s playing Sir Robin in Spamalot. It’s supposed to be ridiculous.
HAHA jessy! that made me laugh!
he tunes in to see the SET? wtf..
i never thought I’d say it, but..
dear clay aiken…ME TOO!!!
(about the ears bleeding thing..)
I should have known when I saw Bob’s moniker that I should put my water down. Fortunately, I was quick enough to turn my head before spewing with laughter all over my monitor and keyboard.
he was great in Spamalot!
how can Aiken want to work on a duet with Adam Lambert and yet at the same time bash his singing style?
