Eminem Disses Adam Lambert, Clay Aiken in New Song

Last week, several new Eminem tracks hit the net, one of which is causing some familiar controversy.

The song, 'Elevator' calls out three singers; former 'NSYNC member Lance Bass, and American Idol's Clay Aiken and Adam Lambert. All three achieved their success through less traditional means, whether via televised talent contest or 90's boy band trend, but perhaps more significantly, all three are openly gay.

In the song, Em rhymes, "Sorry, Lance, Mr. Lambert and Aiken ain't gonna make it/ They get so mad, when I call them both fake/ It's all these f---ing voices in my head, I can't take it/ Someone shut that f---ing baby up, before I shake it."

Several websites, however, claim that Eminem is back at his old homophobic tricks. "Eminem cleverly avoids using the word 'f------" in his new song 'Elevator' when referring to Adam Lambert and Clay Aiken, replacing it with the words 'fake it's," contends Towleroad.com, a site which refers to itself as "More than gay news for more gay men." The blog believes, "Of course, phonetically, it sounds just like 'f---ing."

Adam Lambert responded via his Twitter account, saying, "Wow, Eminem mentioned me in a song?! I must be doing something right!? Even if he used the 'F word,' whatever," which he followed with, "Oh, he says 'fake it.' My bad."

Thus far, Eminem's reps have declined to comment on the song's lyrics, and have yet to offer an official lyric transcription.

This....from a man who has never sung a note of music in his life. He just yells out his frustration at not being a singer.....just a shouter. Like Kanye West...who Raps, because he can't sing. Sorry, guys....there are always construcdtion or plumbing jobs available.

I can NOT STAND Adam Lambert. I think he is an exhibitionist. He is NOT a good role model for kids at all. His parents should bury themselves in the deepest mud hole they can find. He is disgusting. His awards travesty was dispicable. And the networks should bar him completely. ABC was right the first time and terribly WRONG the second. When he is on, I do NOT allow my grandsons to see him. I was in the store the other day when I saw these kids looking at his CD. Their parents were with them, looking at other music. By the way, it was a group of kids (7) to be exact.They were talking about how cool he (ADAM) is. I couldn't help myself. I had to let them know how NOT cool this person is and how they should be looking for other music, NOT HIS! I implore all with a real feeling for self respect and dignity, DO NOT BUY LAMBERTS MUSIC! I know people will, but if not a lot, he will wither away and end up singing in dark holes and mega ditches. And by the way, my diverse selection of friends is, black, white, hispanic, gay, bi-sexual and others. So don't come back with that homophobic s__t. Doesn't work here. Exploitation is not acceptable in the arena where kids are present and impressionable.

He is a musician and he is expressing his art. It is America and he can voice whatever he wants to say. If people don't agree, then don't buy his music.
I personally like someone who isn't afraid to express themselves, and is unique and not a cookie cutter imagine of generic America.
