Adam Lambert Responds To Clay Aiken Controversy — “He Can Ride My Coattails”
Adam Lambert has no hard feelings toward Clay Aiken — despite the fact that the American Idol Season 2 runner-up flipped into Full Bitch Mode late last week and posted a series of blog entries blasting Adam’s talent.
“I don’t know Clay,” Adam told Access Hollywood after performing on the The Today Show on Thursday. “I’m glad he’s getting headlines now though, because he wasn’t before.”

Last week, Clay hit his Official Blog, and slammed Adam, this season’s runner-up, and his rendition of the Johnny Cash classic “Ring of Fire.”
“At that moment, [I] thought my ears would bleed. Contrived, awful, and slightly frightening,” Clay wrote of the performance, adding that he was surprised that people were actually voting for Lambert.
Clay later apologized after his comments created a firestorm with Glambert Fans.
“I do apologize to Adam for my colorful (and negative) choice of words. I hope he can forgive me,” Clay wrote. “I imagine he doesn’t give a damn! :-) God knows he shouldn’t.”
