"People don't want to have that type of stuff pushed, people who are living in Omaha or in Charlotte or wherever," Aiken, 29, tells Access Hollywood."They don't want stuff like that pushed in their face," he adds. "I don't think that's necessary and that's also not what I'm here for. I mean, I went on Idol to be a singer, I went on Idol to be an entertainer and that's what my priority is."When blogs began speculating on his sexuality — several men even came forth, claiming to have met Aiken in gay chat rooms — he admits it was "difficult initially.
Still, he opens up a bit on his new album, On My Way Here, out May 6."I think when you get into anything and you're not used to people scrutinizing this, that or the other... it bothers you," Aiken says.
"After awhile you kind of just say, 'Forget this ... This is not who I am, this is not about me, what I want to do is be a singer, want to be an entertainer, and forget all that stuff,'" he adds.
"Some of the songs on the album are personal, some of them are not personal, some of them are very universal and I like to keep that - allow people to interpret it that way," he says.

Do you believe Robert Pattinson when he says he does not care if people buy his album?
