The good thing about Pop music (and I can only think of one), is that a pop artists' shelf life is generally short. Clay, time to move on, your 15 minutes have passed.

"Ride his coattails"? What's he really trying to say?

I am so over Adam Lambert and his arrogance. Perhaps Clay Aiken shouldn't have said what he did but he apologized. Coattails????? Perhaps if Adam had accomplished anything he might have some coattails. I predict that in two years, he'll be a blip from the annals of American Idol and have disappeared into obscurity.

Broadway will love to have Adam if his recording career doesn't take off - instead of understudy he will be the star of the show. So Adam will be just fine no matter what.

Lambert should have let it roll off his back (y'know, it's tricky to comment without the unintended pun).

If he feels compelled to answer every critic, he's going to be doing nothing else.

Have them duke it out in a boxing ring. Two fruits, one bowl! Winner gets a free manicure.

American Idol has never had a talent like Adam Lambert and they will not see the likes of him again.
I sat glued to the TV every week to see what Adam would sing..!
Clay -you will never have the talent that Adam has-and your comments are classless.

stuckinredstate,
I agree w/ you 1000%. If not for Adam, AI wouldn't have been exciting at all. Clay's comments were totally asinine. People should be careful to NOT insult our Adam OR his fans. Adam is the superstar!!

Adam is talented, but the music industry is a niche oriented industry. What's Adam's niche? He has to figure that out and stick with it if he's ever going to build a fan base that will stick with him after a year or two. Right now he's all over the place, which is fine for a talent competition that has weekly theme changes built into its structure. But American Idol is certainly not representative of the real music industry. The successful post-Idol performers are those that have found a very narrow niche and stuck with it (Carrie Underwood, Daughtry, etc.). Rocky Horror Picture Show is not a niche. We'll see.

MTV got it right, Clay hasn't been lacking for making it into the news.

Then if he's all that why is he taking cheap shots at the show that made him recognizable, and singling out the one gay person to be comfortable with who he is on the show?

If here were so comfortable he wouldn't be playing games with the "is he or is he not" question, there would be no doubt and he wouldn't be "hiding" just so that he can then make an announcement.

TRY to picture Clay Aiken as the rider. I dare you.

This little b!tch fight is hilarious to me and so are all of the comments! Two tragic reality queens trading barbs is really priceless. The delusion on both of their parts is hysterical. Clay is extremely lucky to have the career he's had and seems to have made some money off of it. I'm tours of Japan and performing at sad casinos will keep Aiken's pockets padded for years.
Lambert is the most transparent Idol marketing tool to date and that's pretty hard to do! After his obligatory 2 years with 19 are up, we'll find Lambert singing Meatloaf covers near the corndog truck at the county fair.

Now that is not nice, or fair.

Adam Lambert is extremely talented. Don't be bitter about successful gay people. They deserve their success.

I just wish Clay Aiken wasn't so creepy looking. He could start by getting a decent haircut!

The little talent show can only have one queen. Both Adam and Clay will be on the county fair tour before long.
