Watched a clip of Adam's performance on the AMA Show. Maybe I'm getting too for this kind of show. But the crotch grabbing and simuated oral sex and kissing another male - stunts made me sick. How in the world can anyone in their right mind call this junk "music"? Am I wrong about this?

who is adam lambert...guess that tells me a lot.

Lambert is the guy who should have won the 2009 American Idol. Instead, he came in second. So if you didn't watch that show this year, you wouldn't know.

Lambert is so talented he shouldn't think he needs to resort to making the type of on stage sexual moves that may offend straight people. But then, as Jay Leno joked he would be more shocked if Lambert french kissed a woman during his performance.

I would agree the simulated oral sex probably was over the top. However, the rest...whatever. Did it make you sick when Madonna and Britney kissed? How about Michael always grabbing himself? Honestly, outside him having a person drop below his belt - how is it different than anything else? I mean if we take gender out of the issue...would people really care? We've seen same sex kissing (nearly all female), simulated sexual thrusting, crotch grabbing, blah blah blah for years and years. A gay guy does it and it finally makes you sick?

Bleh whatever. It was shock TV. If any watched him during Idol, you know he goes for the shock factor and this will get headlines for a few days. I read somewhere he is the #1 search item on Google right now - if that translates into money...more power to him. Again, I don't agree with how far some of the things went...but we've seen it before for years, this time it is just a dude doing it. Move on and stop being hypocritical.

If you're talking about it, he wins. That's all these awards shows seem to be about -- whose dumbassery/"accidents" can overshadow the entire event and steal all of the spotlight.

This is just a stunt to sell albums. Nothing more.

"Move on and stop being hypocritical"

Are you for real?? What in heck does your quote mean?

I read about it on msnbc. Lambert basically said, hey, girls do stuff like this all the time (and he's right.). Why can't I? Why is it so shocking if he kisses another guy when girls kiss girls all the time?

Remember Madonna/Britney/Christina? Remember Janet Jackson and Justin Timberlake?

Basically, men are the ones who are probably all hung up on this. They'll happily watch girl-on-girl action but raise hell if two guys go at it.

Me, personally, I don't care. I don't watch awards shows anymore because they all seem staged or some jackass (*cough* Kanye *cough*) does something stupid to try and blow the smoke in their own favor. It's all industry, my friends.

For those who say, "hey - it's not an issue - its all about the 'shock' factor"??? if you are in to the 'shock factor' then why not get your jollies helping with Big Brother/Sister organization or volunteer time at the Jesus house or some other worthwhile venture. There are tons of people whose lives have been turned upside down who function daily with shock.

For those who enjoy seeing 'shock' there is plenty of it out there in real life to see. The crotch grabbing, simulated oral sex "music??" performers - create shock NOT for artistic expression but for $$$ - and we know it.

Right there with ya on that. Had heard the name before, but it wasn't until I read an article this morning that any recall actually registered.

As for the performance, dinna see it, don't feel deprived in the least. By and large, I don't much care who kisses who, where, when, or how, unless my own lips are somehow involved. At that point, I will have some say in the matter.

See Bandnerd's response, I think it summed it up perfectly.

And I don't think anyone is denying this "shock" stuff is for money. You are talking about it 2 days later aren't you? Worked perfectly.

I think it is either ignorance or just irresponsible to use the word "hypocrite" when there is no basis for it in my orginal post....period.

Not being snarky - I didn't see that, either. What am I missing?

Hey, his new single is now getting radio time.

Too bad it sucks.

people still listen to the radio?

Thank you Venture79.

It's still okay for Lady Gaga to wear weird a$$ crap and to make out with everything but let's freak out when a gay guy does it.

Everyone keeps saying they think he hurt his career. Ha! I didn't see Madonna, Britney, or Gaga losing any money over their sexual acts.

Go Team Lambert!

But.. Lady Gaga -is- a gay guy. isn't he?

You would think so but no. She is a girl.

Its just plain freaky that my orginal post has NOTHING to do with gay or not gay. Yet people seem to look for any opportunity bring up gay issues. Seems like an act of desperation to try and drag sexual orientation when this post has nothing to do with that. Sheesh......

so, "kissing another male" isn't gay?

Please people....pay attention! The issue is the over the top sexual 'performance' under the heading of 'music'. It amazes me how quickly and easily we place the label 'gay' under a lot of issues. Pathetic......

but you're the one who pointed out that he was kissing another male.

Okay...let's try this. You tell me how kissing (either str8 or gay) is a part of music? Tell me how simulated oral sex is part of 'music'?

Kissing has been a part of musical performance for centuries. I can't give you an exact time when it first happened, I doubt anyone can; but kissing in stage musicals, operas, concert performances, music videos, etc.. is nothing new.

The fact that you specifically mentioned that is was male on male kissing leads me to believe that it significantly affected you enough to come here and complain about it.

Simulated oral sex in music, while not new, is more relevant and that's the reason given for GMA cancelling Adam's upcoming performance. Adam probably jumped the gun with this act and should have waited until he was at the level Madonna or Britney were when they simulated oral sex on-screen.

Yeah - I can understand some the sexual display being in plays; opera; etc. And I don't think there is huge issue with that especially as it relates to the plot etc. But it seems strange to me that the 'kissing and simulated oral sex' really doesn't take place when the song is recorded in a studio typically....right? So why does it take place during a TV show? Because its not about the music....its about shock. Who knows? It is way to early to know if this will effect Adam's career - although I kind of doubt he'll see much negative issues with it.

These are the parts I was referring to. Seems to me he was stating it was okay until a gay guy did it. Not that it was a GAY guy. But it was a gay GUY. It was okay that the girls made out, not a guy.

Good Morning America just cancelled his spot. I remember someone else getting banned for explicit sexual behavior on tv....let me think...huge success...extremely unethical for his time but had a huge following...the king...oh yeah - ELVIS.
