When it was reported two weeks ago that Clay Aiken was removed and subsequently banned from the Kodiak Theater when Clay made and unannounced (and presumably unwelcomed) visit to American Idol allegedly to suggest singing duet with Adam Lambert and to talk touring together, the story seemed so plausible that I posted it.
Thursday, in a post-Idol Kris Allen is the winner world, it was reported that Mr. Aiken (whom I like to be clear) blogged, on his subscription only site, rather meanly, with a great deal of unnecessary vitriol about Lambert, writing that he had been on team Allen all the way, and that he found Lambert’s version of Ring of Fire “contrived, awful, and slightly frightening.” He added that he thought his "ears would bleed." He continued, lambasting the American Idol franchise for losing sight of the original mandate of discovering and supporting “real people.”
To be fair, I understand why Aiken would feel that way – given that American Idol has done all it can to distance itself from Clay and treat in ways less than kind, and behaved like a bully, but outside of that, Clay needs to remember to support his brothers and sisters, like Mr. Lambert, and to forgo the wallowing in the hate.
Meanwhile, a reminder of just how cute the relationship between Adam Lambert and Kris Allen is, the two supposed opposites clearing in like.
