Adam Lambert was ineligible for American Idol, claims Welsford Music lawsuit

Adam Lambert's album Beg For MercyImage: is now available for Pre-Order on Amazon.com.

Unfortunately, Adam does not want this album released because it was recorded before he appeared on American Idol -- and sent a take down request to Amazon. The company releasing the album Welsford Music has now sued Adam - and the lawsuit claims that he is still under contract with them, making Adam ineligible to join American Idol two years ago. Can someone still be disqualified two years later? LOL

But seriously. I am sick and tired of Adam Lambert constantly associated with controversy. I have a feeling this is all planned. His latest single will be released soon -- I don't think this "controversy" is a coincidence.

From THR:

A new lawsuit suggests that Adam Lambert may have violated the rules of American Idol when he agreed to appear on the eighth season of the hit reality competition show. The singer is now facing a lawsuit that alleges that he's still under a Music Services Agreement and a Co-publishing Agreement from a company he worked with prior to hitting it big on Idol, and that he has violated the company's rights in his mega-selling post-Idol career.

Lambert auditioned for the show in 2008. According to the complaint:
"Upon further information and belief, the rules governing appearances on and participation in American Idol when Lambert was a contestant provided, among other things, that contestants were ineligible if 'as of the date of [the] audition, [they had]...a music recording contract...or any other contractual arrangement that would prohibit [them] from entering into a...recording contract..." A violation of this provision was grounds for disqualification."

Lambert accepted these rules, but according to Colwel, Lambert had an operating agreement with one of its divisions, Welsford Music Productions.

According to the lawsuit, between April 2007 and September 2008, Lambert performed compositions that he had written, alone and with others, for Welsford.

'Want' - one of Adam Lambert's early recordings - which in my opinion is amazing. Probably one of his best vocals:
