Adam Lambert

I understand, but Still, I also understand an Artist's Artistic expression, as long as it's appropriate.

When thrusting and grinding ones private parts against someone else during a primetime AMA televised show becomes "appropriate" it's time for me to stop watching TV. Maybe someday it will actually have to come to that.

I watched a short interview with Adam Lambert on youtube today, out of curiosity, after reading this thread. From what he said, Adam Lambert and his supporters (one of whom was the presenter on the gay radio channel he was interviewed on) seemed to think that the public was in uproar because it was a male kiss, and a male dancer. They didn't seem to get that maybe it's got nothing to do with whether he's gay, straight or bisexual - merely that simulating sexual acts live on PRIMETIME television isn't appropriate to most people. That's it. I think if Leona Lewis was to thrust her crotch in a male dancer's face during a primetime performance as explicitly as Adam Lambert did, she would be all over the papers the next day, too. As much as I would love to see prejudice and discrimination stamped out, and I welcome any steps towards that goal, it's not fair to put a country's distaste over a very explicit televised performance down to 'narrow-mindedness', 'prejudice' and 'fear of homosexuality or individuality'. I think he entirely missed the point - or at least chose to see what backlash there was in his own way.

[Maleah]

I 100% agree Troub....he COMPLETELY missed or chose to ignore the point as to why people were upset!

Lou, I stand and applaud you for your well stated words! EXACTLY!!!

Looks like we're not the only ones that didn't like Adam's "performance"! His "freedom to express himself" may not make him much money! Maybe he should check with the Playboy channel!

ABC Cancels Additional Adam Lambert Appearances
Dec. 3, 2009, 1:44 AM EST
Entertainment Tonight
The repercussions for Adam Lambert's controversial performance at the American Music Awards just keep on coming. The singer confirms that ABC has cancelled his two upcoming appearances on the network -- "Jimmy Kimmel Live!" and "New Year's Rockin' Eve."

Lambert tweeted, "Yes, sadly friends, ABC has cancelled my appearances on Kimmel and NYE. don't blame them. It's the FCC heat." Following his AMA performance in which he kissed his male keyboardist and exhibited suggestive choreography, ABC cut him from the "Good Morning America" lineup. He instead was invited to appear as a guest on CBS' "The Early Show."

The "American Idol" runner-up announced to fans on Twitter, "I AM doing [Jay] Leno though. And lookin into something for NYE." His debut solo album, "For Your Entertainment," is in stores now.

I think He'll be just fine in the financial department

I read the FCC doesn't monitor programs after 10:00 pm so it seems Mr. Lambert "misspoke."

It's obvious from the hasty redirection of the camera when Lambert went into his oral sex grind that he hadn't let the AMA people know just how far he'd go. Looks like ABC isn't too happy about his little "surprise."

It made absolutely no difference to me whether his acts were performed with males or females...the simulation of oral sex on TV is offensive to me, and I think, to many of the viewing public watching a music awards show (as opposed to a pornography channel.)

I read earlier tonight (I think on Yahoo, "The Music Week in Review"), that Adam's CD took the biggest one week dive in sales of the new releases; and in particular, the single in question, "For Your Entertainment." Gee, I wonder why? It seems that Susan Boyle's CD is rocketing away with the sales lead, but that Kris Allen's CD is also gaining a respectable following. I think I saw that Kris is also going to be making some TV appearances.
