You know "Stay With Me" singer Sam Smith and former American Idol contestant Adam Lambert.
Well, on Friday, the two singers hung out on a boat. They chilled, they drank, and they listened to Beyoncé...
...and Michael Jackson. While a Michael song played, Lambert recorded Smith saying, "I don't like Michael Jackson, but this is a good song."
Adam Lambert accidentally posts a video of Sam Smith saying: ‘I don’t like Michael Jackson, but this is a good song’ https://t.co/Rhw1lnA5O0
I'm dead. This is like when you're at the bar and your drunk friend accidentally gets you talking about someone in the back of their Snapchat. The next morning, you're like:
Anyway, this is now the video on Adam's page. It is completely MUTED:
Probably because people had some thoughts about Sam's shade. There were those that were not too pleased:
Sam Smith really said he doesn't like Michael Jackson. MJ is the reason Sam and so many artists careers even exist right now. He literally helped change the music industry and paved the way for millions. Put some respect on the king's name.
Yes Sam Smith can have his opinion, of course. But you can’t just say “I don’t like Michael Jackson”, you have to say “I’m very sorry but Michael Jackson’s songs aren’t my fave.” That’s it. Pay some respect to the ultimate LEGEND and forever #1 of billions. https://t.co/jLsyBx8uva
Here is the thing if you say "I don't like Michael Jackson's music" I can tolerate it, but if you say "You don't like MJ" its personal! Did you ever even meet him? @samsmithworld
Others were like, "It's his OPINION."
okay but in all seriousness, idk why people would drag Sam Smith for not liking Michael Jackson. not everyone has to like every celebrity. it’s so dumb to start drama over. we are all human. just don’t bring attention to it https://t.co/GxTlcm2khn
So Sam Smith doesn't like Michael Jackson who cares? I don't give a fuck not everyone has the same taste in music and I thought that was obvious. So people let's just cool it down please. I'm sure Michael wouldn't want us moonwalkers to behave like this.
Ok, well let's break this down. Yes, MJ def paved the way for him and countless performers after him. HOWEVER, MJ is somewhat of a divisive person, so Sam saying he doesn't like him shouldn't be enough to cancel Sam as an artist.
And as for you, Adam, COME ON!
