The song is not that bad. If he had only sung it with his usual skill and heart, and left everything to words and innuendo, it would be a huge hit. There was no need to pounce around orgiastically with all the people on stage.
One thing I appreciated about him on Idol was his obvious intelligence and kindness. It made me think he was considerate.
His fans were of all genders and ages. All of them were considerate of HIM, allowing him to be openly gay and live his life, and they were ready to buy his music.
He showed total lack of consideration for his fans tonight so I am reconsidering my opinion on his intelligence.
Sexy is one thing. Trashy trying-too-hard groping and forcing is definitely NOT sexy. It is offensive, especially to all of his younger fans, and plenty of the older ones too.
Subtlety is an art, Adam.
Yes. So often it seems to come down to this. The "live and let live attitude" works for "me but not thee."
If he wanted attention, a good performance and lack of trashygay would have made news.
