Clay Aiken Slams “American Idol” Runner-Up
Former “American Idol” runner-up Clay Aiken is eating humble pie. Just one day after he slammed the most recent AI runner-up, Adam Lambert, on his blog, he is now retracting most of his comments. And as with most celebrities who make ridiculous comment, Aiken is claiming that his comment were misunderstood and taken out of context.
On Friday, Aiken wrote in his blog that Lambert’s singing of “Ring of Fire” was “contrived”, “awful”, and “simply freighting”. He also says that when Lambert sang a Johnny Cash tune, he thought his ears would bleed.
This comes from a guy who’s biggest claim to fame since AI has been confessing that he’s gay.
But one day later, after being ripped to shreds, Aiken rescinded.
“Since my previous blog got dissected like a biology lab frog,” he writes, “I suppose I should clarify and even retract some of what I wrote.”
