Quote :: American Idol eliminee Michael Lynche has reportedly said that former contestants Adam Lambert and David Cook had good reputations among the crew.

The singer, who was voted off the Fox competition last week, told OK that staff spoke highly of Lambert - who returned as a guest mentor this season - and Cook.

"Adam and Cook probably had the best reputations around the staff who takes care of us. Everyone always talked about how wonderfully prepared Adam was all the time," he explained.

"Preparation was a big part of my game so that you don't have to worry when it comes crunch time. People always talked about how Adam always looked so great and not nervous on stage. That was one thing I wanted to make sure was tight in my game."

The father-of-one - who also praised David Archuleta - added: "They were just like. 'Enjoy it, it's very different when you're out of that Idol bubble'. They treat us good, extremely good. Not enough people talk about how well they treat us."

Lambert finished runner-up to Kris Allen on last season's finale, while Cook - who took part on this year's Idol Gives Back - triumphed on the seventh season.

Lynche recently revealed that he is currently focused on the show and rehearsals for this summer's Idol tour, and that he hopes to " start putting together a great album" soon.
