Clay Aiken and Adam Lambert actually have some things in common: they’re both gay, they both came in second place on their seasons of American Idol, they’re both into theater, and they both had girls going crazy for them. However, Clay Aiken apparently finds Adam’s creativity and performance a little scary. Here’s what he said about the one and only time he saw Adam on stage, and all the inferences he drew from it:

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.

I have to admit that if that was the only performance I had seen from Adam all year, I may have thought he was crazy, too. And I don’t expect a cheese nugget like Clay Aiken to appreciate Adam’s talent or style. But for the record, the best man still won.
