Looks like Adam is ready to enjoy a bit of the old "Ultra-V".

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.”

She said there was a rumor during the summer that Queen may want him as their new lead singer. He'd be better off going with the band and restricting himself to their songs and tours. He might learn some discipline working with a band that's been around. And he'd pick up a few bucks and put out a CD now and then.
At this rate he'll wind up in some club in west LA walking around with a bunch of guys grabbing at him.
He also pre-emptively declared that anyone who criticized his display of sexual liberty was endorsing a double standard that says straight women can explore their (bi)sexuality onstage, but gay men can’t. However, not everyone agreed.
The Los Angeles Times’ awards-show blog, “The Envelope,” called the performance “ultra-lewd,” noting that “ABC censors had to quick-cut to an odd aerial shot of the audience when Lambert had a male backup dancer simulate oral sex on him mid-song.” (That bit actually aired on the East Coast feed, but was altered for the West Coast broadcast.)

Close your eyes when listening to Adam Lambert, his voice is pathetic, only time the song sound remotely half good is with background vocal drowning his voice out.
But I like Rock and hate Queen, Aerosmith, ELO type stuff but he worse then anything I've ever heard.
He's kinda like Prince but with no talent, I use to like Prince, till I went to concert and it was full of the sexual show like this, minus the gay stuff. We left after about 4 songs. At less Prince has some catchy rhythms and music to his stuff

American Idol runner-up Adam Lambert won’t be appearing on “Good Morning America” tomorrow.
TVNewser has learned ABC News canceled the concert after Lambert’s sexually charged performance at the American Music Awards Sunday night. Lambert led men on leashes, dragged a woman by her foot, and smashed a man’s head into his crotch, all while singing his new single “For Your Entertainment.”
ABC, which aired the awards show, received about 1,500 phone calls from people complaining about the performance, a number ABC calls “moderate.”
An ABC News spokesperson tells TVNewser, “given his controversial live performance on the AMAs we were concerned about airing a similar concert so early in the morning.”
Looks like Adam is ready to enjoy a bit of the old "Ultra-V".
Homosexual agenda - you want it - YOU GOT IT - IN YOUR FACE!
Happy now?
That being said, the controversy serves well in the absence of any real talent. Is he really that insecure? He's certainly sick, so I guess it must come with the territory.
Anyway, this helps more than it hurts conservatism. Complaints are coming from everyone, not just the right.
