Adam Lambert goes uber-gay at American Music Awards

[fryingdutchman]

OK...so Adam Lambert decided to pull out all of the stops during his debut performance at the AMA's the other night.

It's a mashup of Elton John's "I'm Still Standing" video and "Caligula."

Enjoy the ghey antics of American Idol's flaming runner-up...

Your thoughts and opinions? I'm not a homophobe, nor am I against "artistic freedom."

But simulated oral sex while the kids may be watching?

Really necessary?

[MERRYKISSMASS2U]

Obviously I don't like this style of music, but I'm not offended by this.

I think people shouldn't be so socially conservative. It looked like a girl he was 'simulating' with anyway

[FORD]

I think he's been working with Madonna. That looked like one of her performances.

I've never seen American Idol, so I only know this guy from a handful of clips that turn up on You Tube, but I heard he was supposed to be a ROCK singer, and the way he was screaming certainly implies that possibility. Too bad he's wasting it on bubblegum pop music.

Seriously Adam.... Freddie Mercury.... Rob Halford..... you CAN be gay and still rock, ya know?

Madonna was my first thought too.

But not Mercury or Halford.

Right now he's more of a shrieking Boy George...

He should have just come out and rocked. He has some great chops and a decent stage presence.

Remember the good old days when stuff like walking people on leashes, tongue wrestling, grinding faces into cocks, and grabbing the bikini area of some chicks panties were only done backstage??

Also, I thought I was watching Americas Funniest Videos when he fell and then rolled across the stage.

First I heard of the "guy". I too have never watched Idol and have no plans to start.
What he did was a calculated move to garner some media attention. Lame song and it felt like that song lasted 10 mins instead of the 4 mins it actual was.
Everyone who has made it big from that show is just a manufactured Pop Star!

Fucking embedding bullshit!

I agree this was an attention whore move. Big mistake for him, IMO, he didnt need it, and it made him look desperate.

I think he deserves a shot at "stardom". He has been in the business for a while and seems to have paid his dues. He has played lots of clubs and bars, etc. in and around LA/Hollywood for years.(unlike some people who have hit it big on that show). He is the real deal as far as talent goes too. BUT, his songs (if this is any indication) need some work, IMO.

[Seshmeister]

At least he seems to be singing live...

[FORD]

I'm not so sure about that. It sounded like he was still singing when he did that drop and roll move, and at least once when he was kissing somebody.

Knowing his back story gives him some credibility but I agree after this performance and the horrible song any credibility he had is gone.

[diamondsgirl]

Apparantly, he found out right after the AMA show that "AOL Kids" voted him entertainer of the month. LOL. Great timing, huh?

Good Morning America cancelled his appearance which was supposed to be tomorrow morning due to his R rated performance at the AMAs. I guess they fear he is going to start humping Robin Roberts.

[kwame k]

That maybe a draw back, the Good Morning America appearance, but look at the mileage this Attention Whore is getting out of that one performance.

I'm sure we'll have the "heartfelt" apology soon and of course the exclusive interview!

[fryingdutchman]

It's sad that Lambert thinks he has to go this route to garner attention. Obviously, someone is manipulating his career and rolling the dice on these "shocking" moves to try and up his "it" factor.

He is trying to spark a flame off of the Madonna flint, and it just comes off looking desperate and deliberate.

I give you the album cover, in defense of my "Boy George" comment earlier.....



Lambert has the chops, and he has the stage presence. He was in a production of "Wicked" and has done tons of stage stuff.

He doesn't need this crap to get noticed...he could actually do it on pure talent. But it seems he doesn't want to wait for it, he wants it right away and thinks this is how to do it.

He could have been another "Idol runner-up" success story, a la Clay Aiken.

Of course, at this point, Lambert makes Clay Aiken look like John Rambo..

[FORD]

20 years ago, he could have joined Poison and fit right in. He looks as much like a chick on that cover as they did......

[Terry]

Does seem like the guy can sing.

Then again, so can Mariah Carey, Whitney Houston, Celine Dion...but they all waste their voices on schlocky pop tunes dealing with "love".

It's like someone having the chess abilities of Bobby Fischer, yet electing to utilize those abilities solely toward playing checkers.
