Adam Lambert: Bitter Attack on Susan Boyle?
February 25th, 2010 - 8:57 pm ICT by Angela Kaye Mason
Feb 25 (THAINDIAN NEWS) It seems that lately Adam Lambert would be much better off if he could remember two words, “No Comment”. Although he claims that what he said was taken in the wrong way, the media is having a field day with several of his recent comments, and understandably so.
In an interview with Gay Times which is a British magazine, Adam shared some of his past, admitting that he used to go to bars, “get wasted” and take home strangers. He went on to explain how he can relate to the words in his newest single, which was written by “Muse” called,”Soaked”.
“I love the song; lyrically I feel I can relate to it. From a dark place, it’s about that viscous circle of going out and trying to fill a void by getting laid, but doing it by getting wasted in a bar and going home with somebody. That’s what it’s about for me. I’ve been through that: I’m 27 years old and I’ve lived a life where I was looking for something… for meaning, or love, but looking for it in the wrong way.”
Now, along with the headlines,”Adam Lambert Used To Have Casual Sex With Strangers”, (ShowbizSpy.com) the American Idol first runner up has perhaps put his foot in his mouth again. The newest Adam Lambert headlines? “Adam Lambert Slams Susan Boyle” and such.
When Adam and Susan both released albums on the same day, November 23, 2009, Adam’s loud, in your face, sexy, proud and confident style made it to spot number three, which is quite good actually. He sold 198,000 copies in his debut, a feat to be proud of. Susan Boyle, however, with her quiet, timid, beautiful opera like voice soared past Adam, to land the top spot with 701,000 copies sold. This has seemingly caused some bitterness on Adam’s part.
In the March issues of Gay Times Adam ripped into Susan saying,”If only it weren’t for Susan Boyle! I’m happy for her success, but that album is terrible. “Wild Horses” is the one that made me laugh the hardest. I just died when I heard it, I was crying with laughter. It was the most horrendous, sacrilegious treatment of that song!”
Although Adam claims that is not what he meant, and that it was taken out of context, it is what he said. It is easy to see why so many people would take it the way it sounds, and feel that it is a bitter Adam speaking out against the one who sold more albums than he did. Adam’s honest, open attitude may be refreshing, but perhaps, sometimes, it’s best to think before you speak.
