The sometimes too outspoken “American Idol” runner up 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.
Per Starpulse:
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 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. Jealous much?
