Gayken Back Tracks!
Clay Aiken takes it all back!
After ranting on his personal blog in which Gayken slammed both Idol runner-up Adam Glambert and the last handful of AI winners, Clay is now apologizing to the closeted singer!
Gayken wrote on Saturday morning:
I'll be the first to admit that my opinion is just that, only my opinion, but for as much as some of the bloggers seem to dislike me and care so little about my thoughts, they sure can waste a lot of their space on what I say! If only many of them took the time to pay attention to important things like the US economy and the welfare of the world's children. But… nah… I could blog about that type of stuff anytime and most wouldn't think twice, but let me say something that they can pick and choose quotes and misinterpret me… and it's showtime! I never assumed my opinion mattered so much! I guess I may have been wrong.
That said, since my previous blog got dissected like a biology lab frog, i suppose I should clarify and even retract some of what I wrote. I am sure that some were upset by my choice of words describing my opinion of a performance I heard from Adam Lambert. I hope no one actually believed that blood truly poured forth from my ears when I heard him. I obviously meant it as a colorful statement to imply that I did not enjoy what I heard. Any performer hopes that their music will appeal to all people, but no singer realistically expects it to. God knows, I am SURE there are PLENTY of people who can't stand to hear me sing either. I wouldn't dream of assuming that, and I am sure that far worse things have been said about my performances than I would even venture to type here. To me, that's fine. I don't expect unanimous, nor even majority support for my music. But, my guess is Adam doesn't either. I would not venture to make judgements [sic] on the personality or demeanor of anyone I don't know, so none of what I said in my previous blog was directed as a 'slam' on Adam as a person. At the same time, I wouldn't dream of slamming him as an entertainer. He does what he does, because he enjoys it, and he obviously has many fans who enjoy it as well. If what I said in my previous blog regarding my impression of a single performance from Adam upset or offended any of his fans, I expect that the mature ones will realize that it was simply a poorly worded metaphor describing my personal tastes. The only person I would really dream of apologizing to is Adam. And the irony is, if he's smart he couldn't give a crap what I think of his 'Ring of Fire' performance. As an entertainer, Adam knows that one person's opinion of one performance really matters a little less than zero, in the grand scheme of things. He could not have gotten on Idol (nor made it as far as he did) without an immense amount of talent. He surely doesn't need my approval to know he has a gift. At the same time, he realizes that amazing talent doesn't always equal universal appeal. (I could NEVER have the amount of skill and talent that ballet dancers have! that's talent! But, I don't particularly enjoy it!) I am sure that I will have plenty of opportunities in the coming years to hear Adam sing. I imagine he'll be around for years to come. But in the meantime, I definitely don't want to stoop to the level of so many negative freaks on the internet… so, I do apologize to Adam for my colorful (and negative) choice of words. I hope he can forgive me. I imagine he doesn't give a damn! God knows he shouldn't.
Uh, yeah, we're pretty aware of the fact that blood didn't pour from your ears when you first heart Glambert, Clay!
If you didn't want your words to be pulled apart, maybe you shouldn't have posted it online for the entire world to see???
Or have you forgotten how to use a pen and paper???
Dumb!

Clay = jealous and bitter times ten
Brtt = "constructive criticisim" ,as you put it ,without kindness is just hate
First you say, "Grow up? Is that the best you come back at me? " as though you want me to start calling you names then you claim "constructive criticisim" for your own comments - make up your mind and get a life.
Enough said.
i donk like gay kin
"Brtt = "constructive criticisim" ,as you put it ,without kindness is just hate."*

Wow..you really read into that, didn't you? What was so unkind about it? Did I call you a name? Make fun of you? You're just pissed off because someone called you out. I guess you took Perez Hilton's crash course in debating, so you believe anyone who disagrees with you is "hateful." I wasn't expecting you to call me names; I just thought you could be a little clever in your retort.

"Get a life", "Enough said"–you're so full of witty repartee today, aren't you?
agree to disagree…
"God knows, I am SURE there are PLENTY of people who can't stand to hear me sing either. "
ha ha you think? I wouldn't cross the street to see this fool if you paid me.
PS: Lambert is not in the closet! he just doesn't talk about it.
Clay is a douche bag..this is a lame attempt to stir up publicity for himself b/c,he's right, no one gives a shit about him.
I'm sorry, I couldn't read the article for staring at that creepy ass face. *SHUDDERS*
wow! was a fan , not anymore. He has lowered himself as a human being. Jealousy has taken over Clay!
No one really gives a shit about Gayken. Apparently he's just a famewhore trolling for media attention.
My God he is difficult to look at.
HES SUCH A BITCH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
wow Perez, you and your people need to get out of Adam's ass…I understand that you are obsess with him, but damn…your gonna bash someone for having their own opinion? It's his fucking blog and if he wants to write shit on their then he can…you don't have to go on his website if you don't care about what he says.
Please think before you post shit up…because I don't know if its your people or you actually typing all these stupid comments. Have you been PMSing? I have been disagreeing with every post you put up…ur losin it perez
CREEPY. He looks like a wax figure.
Perez, why don't you apologize for all the homophobic remarks you make. Clay Aiken gave his opinion about a particular performance. He wasn't attacking the man personally. But YOU attack people personally all the time and you don't have the grace to apologize to anyone.
You're right, Perez. Gayken put it out their for all the world to see. The green-eyed monster is crying out loud. Think, before you hit that SEND key, no matter how good it feels at the time.
Glambert seems to have a lot of class, which he wears as comfortably as a that boat-load of talent he posesses.
The others will have to make way, whether they like it, or not!
eeeewwww flesh colored brows !! creepy *shudder*
People who don't look at themselves sure are scary…. eh, Perez? Bash someone for bashing someone.
I agree with Clay when he said that Adam doesn't give a damn…
Interesting…he doesn't think people care what he has to say,yet he blogs anyway.
clay is just egotiscal. He is turning to ride on Adam's kinda of fame. Since he has not been in the lime light and a lot.
Clay wants to be the biggest GAY idol and boy is he pissed!! They both need to go away now.
fuck you perez, you're a douche.
i don't think clay needed to apologize for what he said or clarify. i agree with him to . how pathetic is it that he can talk about the economy, starving and homeless children and no one give a crap. then he talks about ai and everyone freaks out. ridiculous and it shows how pathetic us americans are. i am not a clay aiken fan by any means but i don't think he should have to defend himself. perez you are really starting to annoy me w/ this stupid shit.
Eww he's kind of gross, why is he still famous???
I can't stand Clay Aiken's voice. Blood literally pours from my ears whenever I hear him sing. Granted Ruben shouldn't have won AI that season either but Jeez I hate Clay Aiken's voice.
I had so much respect for Clay and he's always been one of my favorite AI contestants, but that was completely unnecessary. Clay's one of the last people I'd expect to trash Adam. Not because they're both gay, but because Clay seems (or seemed) way too sweet for any of that, and too professional. Also… the 'closeted' thing is getting really annoying… he's not in the closet.
Clay Aiken should crawl back in the hole he came out of. Who knows, he might enjoy it.
