Adam Lambert is on the attack in his latest interview with Britain’s Gay Times.
Lambert’s debut album For Your Entertainment sold 200,000 copies in it’s first week and was kept out of the top spot by Boyle’s massively successful debut album I Dreamed A Dream
“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!”
Wow. Boyle’s album might night have been your cup of tea, but c’mon Adam, she blew everyone’s albums away, not just yours. Just accept it. The old cat lady beat you.

For the second time since his controversial American Music Awards performance, ABC has cancelled an appearance by Adam Lambert, this time on the network’s late night program Jimmy Kimmel Live and the annual New Year’s Eve countdown, Dick Clark’s New Year’s Rockin’ Eve.
“Yes, sadly friends, ABC has cancelled my appearances on Kimmel and NYE. 
don’t blame them. It’s the FCC heat … I AM doing Leno though. And lookin into something for NYE … It’ll all blow over. Let’s focus on being positive! 
,” glam rocker Lambert, who finished as runner-up on American Idol in May, wrote on his Twitter account late Wednesday.
Lambert had been booked to perform on Kimmel’s outdoor stage Dec. 17 before his controversial performance at the Nov. 22 show.
Following his AMA performance in which he kissed his male keyboardist and exhibited suggestive choreography, ABC cut him from the Good Morning America lineup. He instead was invited to appear as a guest on CBS’ The Early Show.
Adam’s debut solo album, For Your Entertainment, is in stores now.
Adam Lambert’s Dad Wanted Public Apology For AMA Performance
Adam Lambert’s father urged the American Idol star to publicly apologize for his provocative performance at the American Music Awards last month after the media slammed his saucy on-stage antics.
The openly gay star stunned TV viewers with his finale at the AMAs on November 22nd by groping his dancers onstage and kissing a male keyboard player – and his shocking show led to a promotional appearance on a breakfast TV program getting the axe.
He also became the subject of news and magazine shows and filled blogs and newspaper column inches. Nine days after the headline-grabbing AMAs performance, Lambert sat down with sympathetic lesbian talk show host Ellen Degeneres to review the past week as part of an appearance on her daytime show.
He accepted he “got caught up in the moment and maybe went a little too far,” and revealed members of his own family were shocked by just how far he went: My dad was like, ‘I think you should apologize, Adam. I don’t know. Maybe you should do that.’ I was like, ‘Well dad, I don’t feel like I did anything wrong; it just maybe wasn’t the right judgment call.’”
Even though he’s not apologizing for his racy stage show, Lambert told DeGeneres he understands why TV bosses at ABC axed his appearance on TV show Good Morning America.
He said, “I don’t blame them. I got carried away.”
Adam Lambert Reconsiders AMA Performance, More Focus On Music

In the aftermath following Adam Lambert’s sexually-charged American Music Awards performance, Lambert seems to be having second thoughts.
“I think in hindsight I look back on it and I go, ‘OK, maybe that wasn’t the best first impression to make again, the first second impression.’ I mean, I had fun up there, I had a good time, my dancers had fun and the band had fun.
“I respect people and feel like people walked away from that feeling disrespected. I would never intend to disrespect anybody. So that was not my intention.”
In regards to ABC pulling him from Good Morning America, Lambert says, “I don’t blame them. I got carried away…They gave me a great opportunity to close the AMAs and I would never want to smack that gift horse in the mouth. I think they were taking a leap of faith having me do that and it unfortunately it didn’t work out as we all thought it would.”
“Ellen:airing 2m.Singing ‘whatya want from me’!,” the singer tweeted today. “AMA performance was a one time event. Goin in a new direction now. Focus back on the music…Don’t worry friends: I’m still gonna be me. Always. W/o appologies. Just gonna experiment differently w how I present myself…I’m learning. ”

ABC’s loss is CBS’s gain!
ABC pulled Adam Lambert from Good Morning America following his performance on the American Music Awards Sunday night in fear that he may be too racy for morning television. CBS, recognizing a good opportunity, scooped up Adam to appear on The Early Show this morning and Lambert delivered a performance that will have people talking, once again, about his talent and not his display of sexuality at the AMAs.
Lambert performed ‘Whataya Want From Me?’ and ‘Music Again’ from his debut album For Your Entertainment.
