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”.
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.
Why didn’t they give a choice “Crappy song either way”? Thanks for the links. Performance was just ugly all around.
