Except for the "more Fantasias part". No, please. ETA: Yeah, him not watching the show makes him less credible, but he's still on point with the what's what.

American's want to vote for someone they are pulling for. They like underdogs. They don't like voting for someone they are told they should vote for. Big difference. Still, I find it funny after he gave the FU to the producers for like 3 years, he now gets the FU from them

Clay's just bein snarky I'm sure. He's never intentionally rude or nasty or bitchy, just ask his fans. One thing I do agree on though is that the overblown praise by the judges needs to be toned down. The only problem I have with all of this is that I actually believe Adam deserved all the praise he received. He really was THAT good this season. Gokey on the other hand? not so much. However, they downplayed others in the process which is what pissed a lot of people off. Their comments to Allison and Kris at times were so bizarre and off the wall it was beyond ridiculous.

I think he's just jealous 'cause his fans are a bunch of dorky middle-aged Claymates and he's just a boring housefrau now. Plus, he never got to perform in ginormous platform boots.

Posts: 4391 (05/22/09 8:38 AM) Registered user Reply Quote More Recent Posts Message Connection Block Invite	In the original Gawker article that I linked in the Adam thread, they linked to this story, which gives a little insight into Clay's diatribe against Adam: 'Idol' doesn't want Clay anywhere near Lambert Though it looks likely Adam Lambert will be the next ''American Idol'' winner, ex-''Idol'' runner-up Clay Aiken already is reaching out to Lambert -- looking to team up with the edgy singer for a possible duets album and concert tour. That was just one reason for the backstage tension on the ''Idol'' set in Hollywood last week, when Aiken showed up unannounced but expecting the VIP treatment. ''I don't know why Clay felt that way,'' said a show staffer who has been on board since the reality talent show was launched. ''Everyone knows -- and certainly Clay knows -- he's persona non grata around here.'' The reason for the ''Idol'' folks' lack of affection for Aiken is related to his being the first show contestant to dump 19 Entertainment, the management company that handles all the recording deals, merchandising, tours, sponsorship, film deal and virtually all aspects of all things ''American Idol''-related. ''And not only did he drop 19 Entertainment, but everyone knows he also talked Kelly Clarkson into dropping us, too,'' said the staff member. ''To say the least, it was tense around here when Clay showed up -- and boy, did they hustle him off the premises as fast as possible. If he didn't get the hint after that -- he never will.''

They were votes that said "we're tired of seeing contestants who already seem to know it all". I agree with him, here.

Too bad you have to get through the first half. It's hard to give him any credence, since his start was AI. It would be different if he got screwed over after having had a huge falling out, and he has been struggling to achieve fame or fortune. But he is raking in the dough, has legions of fans, yet he is going to dump on a show that made him famous, just b/c he can...without even having watched any of it to be an accurate judge. Sorry but I am not buying it. He's full of crap. Either he continues to watch or he is harboring some sort of animosity toward them and he is trying to get some sort of revenge.

Clay struck me as a similar type, so I really don't get the Adam hate, outside of Adam's shrieking, he has changed the AI bell curve.

He was out the other night and told reporters he was with his boyfriend. If you need a bigger clue than that I think you're borderline retarded.
