clay aiken crazy

oh, clay aiken, what is wrong with you?  the american idol wannabeen reportedly showed up at an american idol taping just a few weeks ago, hoping to talk to adam lambert and his former management team (19 productions, who is behind the show) in hopes of some sort of collaboration.  well, clay wasn't even let in the building - the split from 19 wasn't exactly amicable.  so, what's a sore loser to do?  clay took to his blog to start a big queen-y feud with fellow ai runner up (and probs the object of his affection) adam lambert.  gayken called lambert's singing "contrived, awful, and slightly frightening," claiming that he only caught the contestant's performance of "ring of fire." clay also claims that he doesn't watch idol, except for one ep a season to see what they've done to the set.  what? you can google that. clay continues in his blog post - which has since been taken down - to bash the show that launched his career, saying the show is no longer about "real" people.  huh?  maybe the first 2 seasons didn't glam up the contestants as much, but i'd say kris allen, this year's winner, is pretty real.  he's from conway, arkansas, married his high school sweet heart, etc.  just because people are choosing to use idol as a launching pad instead of just heading to a bunch of record companies doesn't mean they're not real.  who is clay aiken to talk anyway?  his singing career is pretty much in the toilets and he's on broadway  - which isn't a bad thing, but it's obviously not what he originally intended to do.  just a cry for attention.  and, in case you missed it, here's my fave moment from the idol finale.  kara dio guardi joined "bikini girl" katrina darrell (by surprise) on stage to basically have a sing off...i think kara won.
