As many of you know, I was an Adam Lambert fan but I can’t say I’m a fan of his performance tonight on the AMA awards.
Adam sang “For Your Entertainment.” and the sound was terrible….but it was terrible for everyone. The performance was frenetic and vulgar. I was afraid this was the direction he was going to take and he certainly took it over the top. The reception at the awards was cool and even his fans are admitting that it was inappropriate.
Lambert fell once on stage, tried to cover it up with a roll. He kissed the keyboard player, had his crotch grabbed by a dancer, grabbed another dancer’s crotch and slammed a dancer’s face into his crotch. I expect Adam Lamber to be outside the box but this was a disgusting display with little redeeming value. Certainly the vocals didn’t redeem the performance for him.
Watch at your own risk:
I just went and watched the Janet Jackson performance and she did some crotch grabbing herself, which I think is over the top. The whole of her performance wasn’t quite as dark and sexual as Lamberts in my opinion.
i honestly thought he was going to go all out with this performance since i had heard the media basicly forsake it and forbid running it on TV but it wasnt as bad as i had hopped uh i mean thought. i had never heard Lambert and wasnt really a fan but since this incident i think i might actully listen to his music. i hope he brings out more dirty-dirty in his next performances!
Wow i am completely speachless all i can say is that is not the guy i voted for on american idol!!!!!! that was way over done and he shouldn’t have done that!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I am all for this. Adam Lambert is one of the few openly gay performers who are making it in the entertainment industry. I am sick and tired of the one sided, close minded nature of this indusrty and it is wonderful to see a talented, gay performer pushing the bounderies in stage shows as well as his music.
I recently attended the Lady Gaga live show in London and I am telling you from first hand experience that her show was FAR more sexually explicit and prevocative,(Including simulated oral sex on a female back up dancer). No one has batted an eyelid at her fabulously unsavoury shows but the minute a guy does it, especially a gay man, it is a massive issue. What a kind of double standard is that?? I am sick and tired of it.
Adam Lambert, You are a wonderful ambassador for the gay comunity and you are doing us all proud. I would be exstatic if my child grew up to be like you. Your a wonderful role model, screw what anyone else thinks.
KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK!!!

If this performance had been a different venue I wouldn’t have had a problem with it. I felt it was inappropriate for a network t.v. show.
Honestly i’m not a fan, but don’t judge him… just let him be, if you don’t want to see someone do something like that then don’t watch it was your choice to watch it in the first place, no one was making you.
