Adam Lambert aimed for the kind of controversy Britney Spears and Madonna are known for generating, completely stunning the audience at Los Angeles’ Nokia Theatre and the millions watching the American Music Awards live on ABC.
Glambert definitely delivered on his promise of a “sexy” performance as he closed the live show with simulated oral sex from a male backup dancer, a brief make-out session with his male keyboardist and a giant mirrored prop so the audience could see the looks on their own shocked faces.
Rolling Stone has learned that producers weren’t informed about the guy-on-guy kiss in advance, and after the show, Lambert told RS the musician he kissed is a straight man.
Lambert also told RS that if ABC decides to cut any parts of his performance for the West Coast rebroadcast, it would amount to “discrimination.”
Lambert strutted across the Nokia Theatre stage, dragging some of his dancers outfitted in S&M gear by harnesses and stopping to caress the legs of others — both men and women. As his band turned out the techno-crunch of his debut single from For Your Entertainment (out tomorrow), Lambert bounced around the stage in black leather, hitting his signature high notes. During the bridge, he sat on a chair below a female stripper on a pole, then made his way back across the stage, singing, “Do you like what you see? Let me entertain you until you scream” as the lyrics to his song (”Can you handle what I’m about to do?”) came off like a direct challenge to the audience.
Britney Spears and Madonna stole headlines for their lip-lock at the 2003 MTV Video Music Awards, which was also where Madonna turned heads for humping the floor during her rendition of “Like a Virgin.”

Personally I miss the Go-Gos. I'm just as glad I watched Masterpiece Theater.
Just DISGUSTING!
I didn’t watch the show, but this is all over the news.
“Alas, we got those, and a lot more than I’d hoped/bargained for: Adam dragging a female backup dancer across the stage by her leg, as if she were a lace-covered sack of potatoes; Adam grasping the head of a submissive-styled male backup dancer and pulling him into an uncomfortable round of simulated oral sex (while ABC muted the audio to protect us from who only knows what); a tutu-clad woman cupping Adam’s nether-regions; Adam grasping and snapping the leather “bikini area” (for lack of a better term) of a female dancer’s costume; and Adam taking a break from his singing duties for an impromptu game of tongue twister with a keyboardist of indeterminate gender.”

So, um, Adam Lambert’s American Music Awards performance?
Loved it! Glambert is absolutely here for my entertainment.
Hated it! *About* to get rough? That was beyond rough enough for me.
Lighten up, it’s show biz.
Enough is enough — this was unacceptable in prime time.
What was the deal with the hair???
I said that, “Enough is enough — this was unacceptable in prime time. That is currently in second right now. Unfortunately, 39% are saying they loved it.
My guess is that the MSM won’t want to offend and will praise it for being “edgy”.
Nobody forced me to watch, but I did. Jermaine Jackson thanked “allah”...Adam Lambert and Lady Gaga have to be the same ‘human’ experiment.
Sure ain’t the alphabet networks we knew as young’uns.
Freaking pervert. ABC should have cut the feed.
All they have to do is threaten to whine about the all encompassing sin “discrimination” and the mighty fold.
Adam Lambert was no suprise as he just part of this generation that wants to promote perversion in music.
I was suprised to the *Allah* comment made by Jermaine Jackson as I think practicing Muslims would be offended by the AMA...
However:
I was impressed with Whitney Houston, she beats most of these New *in your face” musicians today with what true talent is, and I admired her focus and praise to GOD for helping her straighten out her life..
Taylor Swift? Nice girl, but I don’t get what is so great about her singing and music..
The You Tube copy is really horrible as far as quality so LUCKILY I did not see anything. :) My interest was the song and that sucked enough. It is difficult to predict if this will make him even more popular or have him go off to oblivion. Thirty years ago his career would be over...today he will probably become even more famous. Our morals have certainly decreased. No matter what happens, I am glad that Kris Allen won American Idol 2009.
As talented as Adam was in Wicked, I am so dissapointed.
He doesn’t need disgusting sexual theatrics and that crap just destracted from his normally decent vocals.
He’s a new professional victim. Maybe he can turn it into a corporate shakedown scam like the race pimps have done.
That sick puppy just committed career suicide. He just branded himself as nothing but gay. Sick.
I remember some people on here cheering him on American Idol!
Somebody was expecting taste and restraint from the music industry? They *sell* sleaze, for crying out loud. It’s their commodity.
Adam Lambert Falls Down, Takes Second AMAs Tumble | 2009 AMAs ...
Adam Lambert attempts his way up a set of stairs before taking a tumble on stage while performing his new single “For Your Entainment” at the 2009 American Music Awards at L.A.’s Nokia Theatre on Sunday (November 22).
The 27-year-old American Idol vet recovered very well, tucking and rolling into his next position. Overall, Adam, who closed the show, gave a very provocative performance, shoving people’s faces into his crotch, acting out S&M fantasies and kissing both men and women.
what a little faggot...good lord....my aunt ain’t gonna like this.
never known one not to be neurotic, self obsessed and attention craved
the worst qualities in the worst women placed in a sissified man...yuck
‘American Idol’ alum Adam Lambert splits with boyfriend Drake LaBry
Ferras Alqaisi is Adam Lambert’s New Boyfriend
Have no idea who this person is.
Holy. Cats.
Well, what can I say? I liked Adam’s singing. Don’t care for that behavior, though, by a longshot!
