Clay Aiken, Adam Lambert New Singles Draw Fan Praises
LOS ANGELES (LALATE) – “Bring Back My Love” and “Better Than I Know Myself” are drawing Clay Aiken and Adam Lambert fan praises. But both singles are also reportedly doing very well in latest digital download numbers released . As American Idol returns to FOX, two of Idol’s previous contestants are heating up the digital downloads charts.
Recent Nielsen SoundScan numbers reportedly show strong numbers for Clay Aiken and Adam Lambert’s new singles. Last week, Lambert’s Better Than I Know Myself moved six thousand downloads reports USA Today. Lambert’s total has reached sixty-three thousand since December. Aiken’s Bring Back My Love added four hundred more downloads, bringing his total to five thousand.
The Aiken December 20 release on Decca has drawn stellar reviews from fans. On Amazon, Aiken drew a near perfect rating from download purchasers of the track. Fans are applauding not only Aiken but also the song’s orchestration.
One Aiken fan wrote “I think this is Clay Aiken’s best recorded song ever. His singing voice is tender, yet powerful when needed. Whoever orchestrated this song is brilliant.” The fan added “They made sure that the voice was always up front. The quiet piano at the beginning quickly grows to a full orchestration.”
Many fans believe this could be Aiken’s best song ever. “This is Clay Aiken’s best song yet” wrote one listener. “Not only is it an original song, but it’s an amazing song.”
On iTunes, the Aiken track has also drawn a nearly perfect score from listeners. One wrote “His voice is flawless, as usual. The song is romantic and beautiful. It’s just wonderful all around.”
Aiken next appears on Celebrity Apprentice. He reminded fans and news of a programming change last week “The season premiere date for Celebrity Apprentice has moved to Sunday, Feb 19, at 9pm/8c. “
“Better Than I Know Myself” is also drawing a nearly prefect five rating from Lambert fans as well. The December 20 release from 19 Recordings / RCA is being heralded for its vocals and lyrics.
But many Lambert fans especially are applauding the song’s beat. “Adam has produced a winner. Hope it gets intense radio play because once it is heard it will be loved” wrote on fan. Another added “Great vocals and the beat is awesome”.

Am happy for both of these AI alums – they are proof that winning is not necessarily losing.
I’m totally in love with Clay’s new song. Kudos to him for such a beautiful new recording. I hope, for a change, that it gets tons of radio play. This is one that surely deserves to be heard by all.
Congrats to Adam, too, for his new one. I don’t follow him, per se, but hope he has continued success as well.
And, as always, LALATE, thanks for the latest news!!

I haven’t heard Clay’s single but like his voice. Ilove Adam’s new single and agree the beat is awesome, lyrics are so real and ppl can identify with them. The chorus shows off Adam’s incredible vocals. Hope both singles do well in the future.

Watch Adam perform BTIKM on Leno tomorrow night and on Ellen the 19th, I believe. I am looking forward to Celebrity Apprentice and will be rooting for Clay. I have Adam’s BTIKM on my iPod and will go check out Clay’s BBML. I hope they both get good spins on the radio too. Adam only has about 250 so far but better than last week.

They both deserve airplay. I was a huge fan of Clay’s and still like his voice. I follow Adam completely because he is vocally the best I’ve heard. But my radio still plays the same old big names who will all be at the Grammys (which I won’t watch). Adam and Clay should sing together. They need to get along because they are both talented.

Two “performers” with a very strange fan base of old women who like gay men who wear makeup. Talent has nothing to do with it, it is the “shock” that these two “performers” deliver that gets attention. Neither can write or play any musical instruments. Aiken will never get radio play and Lambert is just as much a joke.

Jeez, Amy, way to spread peace & joy throughout the world….. NOT. Your negative attitude will come back to you a thousand times. Ever hear of Karma? Your parents must be very proud of their hateful little witch. So sad for you.

Steven Tyler, Pete Wentz, Johnny Depp, Billie Joe Armstrong from Green Day. Little Richard, the Stones. Entertainers have been wearing make up for ages.
Shock lasts five seconds, talent keeps your career going. (Clay is on year 9)
An amazing voice IS a musical instrument, a key element in a collaborative effort start to finish.. So unless you are more successful than they are, you’ll need a better rant than this.
