14 DAY TRIAL // Adam Lambert and Susan Boyle are the two biggest music stars of 2009, both their debut albums moving an impressive number of copies, with Boyle’s “I Dreamed a Dream” even making her the best selling female newcomer in music history. However, if you ask Adam how he feels about the competition, you might be a little disappointed at how little he values the aforementioned album, as ContactMusic can confirm.
Apparently, the American Idol favorite was recently talking to Britain’s Gay Times and the discussion also touched on the subject of Susan Boyle’s debut material, as well as her highly acclaimed cover of Rolling Stones’ classic “Wild Horses.” Both the album and the single are nothing short of hilarious, Adam reportedly said, even adding that the cover made him laugh out loud for how sacrilegious it was and how horrendous it sounded.
“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 bit attacked, like I had to vindicate something. I thought: ‘Wow, look what I did’,” the e-zine quotes him as saying.
Even though this report is being circulated as accurate, fans of Adam might not agree. For starters, it is already being said, this doesn’t sound like something that Adam would say: Adam, the same who won over audiences of American Idol for his kind manners and something like a willingness to always please those around him. Moreover, in all the interviews he gave ever since he became internationally famous, not once has Adam shown any signs of being resentful, so why should he have started now with Susan is the question that arises.
That his words were taken out of context is also a possibility, it is also being said. After all, it wouldn’t be a first that a star says something and then is misquoted in the media. This could have also happened to Adam and his statement on Susan Boyle’s “I Dreamed a Dream.” Whether that was the case or not, rest assured you’ll find out about it here.
