Adam Lambert

He's entitled to artistic expression and freedom.

But EL, the rest of us are also entitled to our opinions as the appropriateness or inappropriateness of it.

And who knows, maybe the opinions expressed will in some way reach Mr. Lambert. I doubt it, but it could happen <LOL>

[EagleLady]

I didn't say you weren't entitled to your opinions. All I'm saying is, he is expressing himself.

Well not to be rude, EL, but isn't that stating the obvious. I agree with Mike. I didn't comment on this before, but as Mike said earlier in the thread when we were discussing Adam's AMA performance - I highly question whether simulating sex acts and S&M on stage is considered "art". And with regard to his image, Adam can also do whatever he wants. But, as my mom used to always say "Just because you can do something, doesn't mean you should". The public is also free to decide whether they like it or not. I'm with Soda and Willie here - been there, done that!

[EagleLady]

No, that Isn't considered Art. But I don't see all the big fuss about it seeing as it's been done before. Just My Opinion

Why do you always say something like this EL? Seriously, pretty much every thread we discuss something controversial, you say "He's entitled to.." blahblahblah....

Some examples from three different threads:

I still don't get all the controversy surrounding FG, Don is entitled to his opinions and convinctions no matter how strong they are.

Well, It's his opinion and he is entitled to it.

Well He is entitled to his opinion like it or not.

When you say this, it comes across as if you think people are doing something wrong by questioning another person's opinion, like if someone questions an opinion that means they think the other person's not entitled to have it. It's like you're trying to put a stop to any discussion.

Is that what you believe? Is that what you're trying to do? If not, then why do you keep saying this?

Sorry to come off as harsh - I welcome your opinions EL - but I'm just sick and tired of reading this same post over and over every time anyone wants to discuss anything on here.

[EagleLady]

I do believe everyone's entitled to an opinion. I don't mean to come off as critical.

[Prettymaid]

EL, let's say Mr. Lambert had gone a step further and actually had sex on stage while performing. Is that still okay because it's something we've seen before? Doesn't anything morally 'cross the line' for you?

[EagleLady]

Now, actually having sex on stage WOULD be crossing the line for me

I think freedom of expression doesn't mean freedom to do whatever you want whenever you want. Surely if a man(just for the sake) walks up to someone and flashes them with his private parts would that come off as freedom of expression or indecent exposure? I think most would go with the latter , indecent exposure. And I think that's what most of us are opposed to is the lack of consideration for what others may consider inappropriate for public viewing.
