let’s be serious, he definitely did this for the attention. i have no problem seeing two guys or two girls kissing, and i am a straight female. but if he really wanted to show his talent, he could have done SO much more with the song and the basic theme of it. instead, he did a lot of provocative things on stage, which unless he is an idiot, knew that that’s all that people would talk about.
i agree that the kiss isn’t what threw me off, it was the groping of private parts that really was just tasteless, and bad for a family oriented channel such as ABC. he needs to learn his audience.

He gaved good awnsers and showed what he really mean with his performance . And he sounded really good in his songs , so it was a positive appearance , I think (:
People are being ridiculous about his “controversy” performance on AMA’s . If some of that people see the interviews after his show , I think they would all understand better what he did ! And I totally agree when he says that other artists did stuff like that, that he’s not a babysitter and that this all controversy is because he’s a gay male .
C’mon people , you may not like him , but he is amazing (at least is what I think) :D

Has anyone seen the news that GMA booked Chris Brown right after cancelling AL? He will appear in a week or so on the show for an interview and performance.

I guess women beaters aren’t as big of a risk.

God, I hope at least 1,500 angry people complain about this. Apparently that is the standard.

I have to say, I’m the most open-minded, “live and let live” person out there, and have been obsessed with and a fan of Adam Lambert from the start, but even I thought this performance was RIDICULOUS. What I’m offended by is AL’s comment that he’s “shocked” he got this reaction. No he’s not. He’s reveling in all the press and controversy. He strives to be Madonna, Gaga – so is simply following their lead – completely unoriginal. And because he was thrashing around the stage in such a ridiculous manner, I couldn’t even hear his vocals very well – the thing I actually TIVO’d the whole damn awards show to hear.

I also take offense in his “double standard” comments. Female pop stars get away with it BECAUSE of being objectified as sex objects for years and years. Don’t FAULT them that and turn it around that it’s not fair. That’s like saying “hey, she was fired for being blonde, I want to be fired too!” Somewhat of an exaggeration – but you get my point.

He lost MAJOR points with me for all of this. Oh, and Trent, while I love you and your blog…are you forgetting that there WAS HOOPLA surrounding Britney/Madonna kiss? Are you kidding me???? Janet/Justin ring a bell either?

Thanks for the opportunity to say my peice!

This is insane. Equality is a joke in this world. I am not laughing.

@ jess & erin. you both said exactly what I was thinking! The kiss wasn’t the problem. I don’t care who kisses who…..I can get guy on guy kissy-face action watching Brothers & Sisters. But the crotch-meets-face extravaganza was too much, no matter if the face were male or female.

I don’t get why they would blur the kissing? People just need to get over it – there’s no difference between a man kissing a woman or a woman kissing a woman or a man kissing a man. But shoving the face of someone of either gender into your crotch during a prime time TV performance is just inappropriate.

He can say he was just “acting in the moment,” but I don’t believe him. That was planned out and rehearsed without ABC’s knowledge and now he’s acting like he’s shocked by the controversy when the whole point was to stir up controversy. Sigh. Oh, Adam LAMEbert. When the only thing you’re famous for is finishing second on a reality TV show, you should probably focus a little more on wowing people with your vocal skills.

I don’t think it was the kiss that was the problem with them. . . most likley the rubbing somones face in his crotch and then fingering a girl on stage. I am not sure if all time zones saw that.

And yes he needed to focus more on his sining than trying to shock everyone with his stage show.

His singing was great! I’m glad he was focused and had the good sense to admit his AMA performance wasn’t the best, but hey, we all have down days right? I can’t wait to get his album. And PS-the end of the second video where he’s greeting fans is adorable!
