Adam Lambert recently took some time out of his busy schedule to launch a verbal attack on fellow talent show contestant Susan Boyle. Lambert says the “Britain’s Got Talent” star massacred the Rolling Stones’ “Wild Horses” when she covered it and he almost “died” laughing when he heard her version for the first time.
He tells Britain’s Gay Times, “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! Still, when my album charted, it was validating. I was feeling a bit attacked, like I had to vindicate something. I thought: ‘Wow, look what I did.’”
Lambert‘s own album opened well in its first week with 200,000 copies sold last November, but Boyle’s record kept him off the number one spot with over 700,000 copies.
Say what? So what is Adam’s problem? Numbers don’t lie so we assume there are many people (us included) who dis-agree with his statement.
Here is Susan Boyle’s version of “Wild Horses”

No way this is true! I have heard every interview Adam has done and this sounds nothing like him! He is a very positive person and always goes out of his way to say something nice, and makes a habit of promoting other artists. Besides Adam has already disputed this on his twitter stating that he was misquoted…and if he sounds nonchalant about it, it’s probably because he has to deal with this kind of crap repeatedly.
I have met him and he is very sweet…and far from a diva! When I was walking up to him he said, “Oh, I love your outfit!”….HE complimented ME!!! This was at a backstage meet and greet where I watched him interact with his fans for almost an hour, so I am speaking of his character from personal experience.
Just because it’s in print on the internet, it’s the gospel? Yeah, right! Every media source that has picked up on this “story” and ran with it needs to make a retraction and issue Adam an apology!

The Britian Gay Times would need to make a retraction and the quote is pretty long. Doubtful they would make that up. Not the first time Adam has put his foot in his mouth, looks like Adam is the one who needs to apologize.

Bad mouthing another singer shows just how mature you are. Evidently you are jealous, you would have to be since Susan’s CD out sold yours by quite a margin. Some people have talent, and others just think they do….guess which catagory you fall into! Keep flapping your gums, Adam, and show the world exactly how petty you are!!!
