Clay Aiken is no fan of Adam Lambert.

The “American Idol” also-ran has blasted this season’s runner-up on his Web site, mocking Lambert’s rendition of “Ring of Fire” as “contrived,” “awful” and “slightly frightening.”

According to Aiken, he tunes into the show about once a season – and this year, he caught Lambert’s take on Johnny Cash and thought his ears would bleed.

But wait – there’s more. Aiken aims his vitriol on “Idol” itself. He thinks the series showed bias for Lambert over eventual champ Kris Allen and has focused on “slick productions and polished contestants” rather than raw talent.

  1. Susie says:

    Clay – shame on you! It was not that long ago that people cut you down for taking risks and being different! I’m not a huge Adam fan but he’s found his own niche and should be applauded for his talent and guts! Clay’s comments are arrogant and rude!

  2. Paul says:

    Clay, didn’t your mother teach you that “if you don’t have anything nice to say, don’t say anything at all”?

  3. Chic says:

    Clay you sound like a little jealous boy. Are you threatened by his talent? I guess your mother did not teach you the cardinal rule, if you don’t have something nice to say, then don’t say it Clay!
    I am not a fan of Adam’s but the guy is very, very talented. Why would you want to rain on his parade Clay?

  4. Robert says:

    Clay is just bitter because these days he looks just like K.D. Lang.

  5. clay hater says:
