Details About Adam Lambert And Simon Cowell's Relationship

There's no bad blood between Adam Lambert and Simon Cowell today. As Lambert told The Sun, he would be nowhere without all the "tough love" he received from the former "American Idol" judge.

"Simon really supported me, he was amazing. I mean, he even gave me the tough love that I needed as well," he revealed to the outlet. "Simon is known as Mr. Nasty, he is the guy that is going to tell you the truth. He wants to see if you can hang as an artist, as this industry is brutal, and the public is even worse."

And we can only assume that Lambert has only nice things to say in return, considering he showered the rock star with compliments on "The Oprah Winfrey Show" way back in 2009 when he predicted Adam would be the "Idol" winner. "I think he's got that 'it.' And I think he's fearless," said Cowell (via MTV). "I think he's unique. And he's got swagger."
