14 DAY TRIAL // A few days ago, Adam Lambert came under serious fire after he was quoted in several publications as saying that Susan Boyle’s debut album, “I Dreamed a Dream,” was horrible, while her cover of “Wild Horses” was laughable. He later explained the comments by only saying he had been misquoted, which he insists was true. Either way, he still doesn’t like the album.
Speaking with the media in Australia just recently – and cited by Digital Spy – Adam shed some light on the comments that made headlines around the world and saw fans divided into two opposing camps. His words might have come across as a bit too harsh and this certainly wasn’t his intention, but that’s not to say he did not mean what he said: namely, that he did not like Boyle’s debut album and he didn’t because it did not suit his taste.
“The ‘Whataya Want From Me’ singer had been quoted as branding Boyle’s first record ‘terrible’ and claiming that he laughed when he heard her single ‘Wild Horses.’ ‘It came across a bit harsher than how it actually went down. But I’m not a fan of the record, it wasn’t a lie,’ he is quoted as telling The Herald Sun,” Digital Spy writes. That is to say, all he was saying was that the album was not something he would listen to and he did not contest Susan’s talent, as some suggested he did shortly after his comments ended up online.
Lambert is a perfectionist and, at the same time, an honest person, he goes on to say. As such, he has a right to speak his mind when he finds something that he does not like. “[People think] you come off the show and all of a sudden you are put in this machine and puppeted into this product. That’s not my experience at all. I’m a pretty outspoken, upfront, forward type of person, and I have opinions about what I want to be as an artist. I told them I want to be glam, be pop, be rock, I want to be everything, blend it all together and have a great time doing it. Be theatrical and be out there,” Adam goes on to say about his own experience in the spotlight.
As we also noted on a previous occasion, after his comments on Susan Boyle’s album made the tour of the world and got him under serious fire with some fans and media representatives, Adam took to his Twitter to say that he, just like everybody else, had a right to an opinion and to speak his mind.
