Clay Aiken apologized to Adam Lambert Saturday morning via Aiken’s web site for remarks he posted Thursday that were a tad critical of the American Idol runner-up and of the direction the American Idol franchise had taken in the opinion of Aiken. And while the apology is couched in a lot of anger, to be fair, Aiken is, in one regard at least, right – the posting was and is only an opinion.
Lambert, who was the presumptive favorite, is apparently being courted by Queen, to be the new lead singer of the seminal seventies art rock band that time cannot stop, Adam being considered this year’s Freddie Mercury, although I always that was Mika.
While Lambert may actually have lost the American Idol title, he appears to winning almost everything else, including the likelihood that he and not winner Kris Allen will receive the majority of post-Idol endorsement offers, the opinion of most marketers that Adam’s style and sexuality render him the most desirable for clients looking to create that ever coveted consumer cachet.
Mr. Kris Allen meanwhile appears on the Ellen DeGeneres show this Tuesday, May 26th, where he tells Ellen his wife deserves all the credit for all his success to date.
All of the American Idol drama has spurned Roseanne to suggest, via her blog, that the show is “as fixed as the American elections,” and continues calling Idol “homophobic, sexist, and hateful,” adding that the “closeted gay guy who goes to church won over the gay guy who is “out." She then calls California Governor Schwarzenegger a “closet case” and her ex-husband Tom Arnold a “sociopath.” At the very least, she is interesting, no?
