Adam Lambert.

So, did Adam Lambert really want to play Jean Valjean or something? The " American Idol" alum was pretty harsh about the "Les Miserables" cast's vocal skills, tweeting Sunday that the music "suffered massively (because of) great actors PRETENDING to be singers."

"It's an opera," he clarified. "Hollywood movie musicals treat the singing as the last priority. (Dreamgirls was good)"

Anne Hathaway rates her 'Les Mis' performance as 'eh'

"And I do think it was cool they were singing live- but with that cast, they should have studio recorded and sweetened the vocals," he wrote, adding, "I felt like I should ignore the vocals and focus on the emotional subtext- but the singing was so distracting at times it pulled me out."

Lambert was impressed with Anne Hathaway's vocals, describing her performance as "breathtaking."

He also mused that "the industry will say 'these actors were so brave to attempt singing this score live' but why not cast actors who could actually sound good?"

"Sorry for being so harsh," he wrote. "but it's so True!"

Hey, everyone's entitled to their opinion.

"American Idol" runner-up Adam Lambert was released from a Finnish jail Thursday, having spent several hours there for brawling with his boyfriend outside a Helsinki bar, according to The Hollywood Reporter.

The police investigator handling the incident, Petri Juvonen, told THR that Lambert was arrested with his Finnish boyfriend (and fellow reality show contestant) Sauli Koskinen in the wee hours of Dec. 22 outside the gay club DTM ("Don't Tell Mama"). They were held for questioning in four possible assault offenses.

Media reports say the two men began arguing inside the club. Koskinen (who won the Finnish version of "Big Brother") and Lambert were kicked out, but continued the fight in the street. A former Miss Helsinki, Sofia Ruusila, who had been out partying with them, tried to break up the incident but told a Finnish entertainment channel that she got hit by Lambert -- by mistake -- in the process.

Internet rumors had been speculating that Lambert would actually be in the United States to perform on Thursday's "The X Factor" finale, but there's no chance of that now, and a show spokesperson has denied the booking.

Investigator Juvonen told THR that he released the two men on Thursday afternoon, having completed his interrogation.

Koskinen has since blogged about the incident, saying: "Celebrities are people too and fame is not easy. Love is not always easy either, but it's forever." (Translated from the Finnish by Google.)
