This is what happens when you idolize anyone but God himself. His judgment will come soon.. Regardless of what his sexual preferences are, there is a place and a time for these perverse acts. And national public television is not that place........And on the AMA when children are watching is not the time!
For all of you who ask, "why are your children up watching this?" How many adults do you think really listen to this trash? This is aimed at the youth, not the adults. And it's starting to get out of line.
We get that you are Gay! We don't need a display of what you do behind closed doors.. Leave it there, out of sight!
Between this and the Satanic Rituals at the MTV Awards, I will refuse to let my children watch any of this filth anymore.
To hell with all of you, Burn!

He definitely screwed up the entire awards show.
He owes all the artists a peasants apology.
He's got no right to ruin the image of the entire event.
Especially when he’s got no talent.
The undebatable fact is he never should have been allowed to step on to that stage.

I think Adam just killed his career. All that wasn't necessary. He seems to think the stage is a venue for his sexual arousal. Nobody cares about the kiss but the attempt to showcase oral sex was just plain offensive. If this is the kind of show he wants to give people then maybe he belongs in a porn movie. His voice was outstanding on American Idol but last night he was so determined to flaunt his sexuality he wasn't focused on his voice and did not give an "A" performance. I was not shocked, I was disgusted. ABC and the AMA should be ashamed of allowing this on TV. I don't beleive for a minute they didn't know about it. Can you imagine how many parents taped this show for the kids to see later on since it was on so late? I just hope they watched it first. America, where do we draw a line in the sand? Isn't there enough inappropriate TV for our children? Now they can't even enjoy music without something like this jumping out at them.

Madonna, Cher, Brittany, Lady Gaga, and many, many other women should only be allowed on porn shows. They are so trashy and dress half naked. There is way too much vulgar, trashy programs on t.v. now. I think the people should let t.v. stations know we don't want this kind of stuff on AT ALL. People who want to see sex, crotch grabbing, blow jobs, dresses almost revealing a woman's complete titties, women OR men kissing, etc. should only be able to see it on XXX channels. T.V. is getting to be so embarrassing. There is hardly any decent programs left to watch. I hate that Adam chose to expose himself as a complete pervert. I hated his performance and singing last night. I have nothing against you being gay & telling that you are, but do it in your bedroom or at some gay bar. I usually am one of your biggest fans, but if you are going to be like you were last night, I & millions of other previous fans will be leaving you for good. I absolutely loved all your songs on AI., espec
You get no sympathy here

At least Boy George had talent, and could hold your attention.
This guy sounds like Richard Simmons on a Weird Al Yankovic tip.
He actually NEEDED the "shock" value. Are we actually sure it was shocking or BORING??? I'd love to see how Wayne and Garth would rate this. And the hair? THAT was the shocking portion of our show. Flat vocals, stiff dancing. I nominate him for Saw VII where he gets it in the green room before the auditions. Promise me you'll NEVER subject me to this horsesh*t EVER again. I need a shower and a debriefing at once. William Hung for life!!!

Total trash, not the least bit entertaining. liked him on AI, but he has gone over the top. Needs to take that act to a smoke filled gay bar, they will love him.

I'm not really sure how to react to this performance. I live on the West Coast and did not see the part where Adam Lambert simulates oral sex on stage (I'm sort of glad I didn't). Some of this sort of shocked me but, at the same time, Adam is a free spirit and a rebel: He's going to do the insane and crazy (which I like). Although, I was pretty sure that he was on the American "Music" Awards. You know...For music? All I saw was just for show and to stick it to the man (of the music world). Standing out can be great if it's for a good cause. Some like dirty. Some don't. And some aren't sure what to think. I thought that some of it was kind of hot but, I also thought some of it was very vulgar. Adam's singing could've been A LOT better. Why didn't you give us the vocal chops you gave us on AI? It seemed like this time, the singing wasn't nearly as important as "Being in the Moment" was. I'm a fan, I always will be. But this performance left me unsure of what to say and what to think. I f

Well the performance was very theatrical but i agree that it was too racy for some people especially with families. Interesting performance, but could have been saved to be done for a different venue. I don't know if it will hurt or help his career, but what i do know is that he can't keep screaming all the time! i know it's a 'trademark' but once or twice on a couple of songs is enough, overkill never helped anyone.

I am a HUGH fan of Adam Lambert. When he was on Amer. Idol I always voted for him every week (I voted for hrs. at a time) & thought he definitely should have won. He has a fantastic vocal range & can sing almost anything better than anyone else. But I was totally disapointed with the song he chose. It didn't show his singing ability at all!! And when he touched two ladies crotches and kissed another man, & gave a blow job, I couldn't believe my eyes. And the thing with the man with harnesses & him walking him like a dog was sickening. Adam, if you want to do this kind of stuff privately, it is perfectly fine with me. I just DO NOT want to see you actually doing it!! I don't care if you are gay, but don't flaunt it on people who don't want to see it & hate to see you make a complete fool of yourself. I feel a lot of people who really loved you will now think of you as "dirty" and have a different opinion about you. You have really hurt your image in my opinion &

Thats exactly why my family didn't watch the show. You just knew that there would be some gay thing, anti-conservative statements, other liberal rant.
No we aren't prudes...we just vote with our wallets...and we don't buy albums, movies, products, or products endorsed by people/networks that we don't think are a good influence on our society.
Performance wise...it sucked on top of not passing my litmus test.

Haha... You haven't had sex on stage over there yet? Here in Norway, that happened at one of the larger festivals a couple of years ago. The band, called Cumshots, had two environment activists indulging in full-on activity with the slogan "Fuck For Forest". Didn't really engage to many protesters.
This really is not that big a deal. No clothes came off, he kissed a guy, and people in S&M costumes have we seen on stage for years. Shocking?? Not at all! Have a good one...

Adam Lambert plainly showed his colors-that he is totally amoral as is the AMA for permitting his performance using this venue to plunge this country 5 giant steps deeper in accepting total degradation. This country is so concerned at the workplace about diversity where no longer can you even have an opinion-imagine not even being able to discuss the war your own soldiers are fighting, because it may offend someone and if you do, you will be fired. If this country is so serious about giving consequences to people offending others-then Adam Lambert should be immediately fired! Trying to shove perversion down our throats? Nice try-but NO! What should we be accepting next year-sex on stage?

i think there was nothing wrong with his performance like people are saying if he was a female it would have been o.k. Everyone who is saying they didn't like it because they didn't like his voice and not because he is gay your lying your trying to mask that homophobia that you have and your just trying to not sound like a bigot on the web. The jesus freaks out there who think he needs jesus maybe he already has jesus or his own form who is for anyone to judge him have you never done something that someone else thought was wrong. Personally i think there was nothing wrong with it your gay so be proud. You have a good voice love it your vision is unique keep at it.

I completely loved his performance and went straight to itunes to purchase that song! He is being himself and not pretending to be anything but himself. What we do not need is anything of the same that we already have... different is good and this controversy will only help his career. With performers such as Prince and Madonna pushing the envelope before him...they have helped paved the way for another outside-the-box performer. If you don't like it, don't listen to it... simple as that. As for me... I can't wait for more.

Well, it was in bad taste, he was screaming, screeching and vulgar. It was not artistic, it was not innovative, all this trashy croch grabbing, overly sexual simulated acts have been done time in memorial. Madama did it "Like a Virgin", Britney did it with her sex tour, Janet did it in her "Nasty Tour", but this was over the top, kissing men and women and pushing the guys head right into his crotch was way to much. Gosh, based on his American Idol performances, this was the worst. It was like he forgot how to sing and connect with the target audience. AMA was a combination of teens, and adults and mass America that is pretty conservative.

November 23rd, 2009 9:21 PM
Ok, he's gay - so what? He shoved a guy's head in his crotch - totally over the top and not necessary, but you knew he'd be over the top, so if you watched it you have no reason to complain, you coulda turned off the TV before he came on. And this happened because of the liberals, like a few people are alluding to? Let's just make everything into a political argument - unbelievable! What does Adam's performance have to do with liberals, are liberals suddenly all gay now? Now THAT'S homophobic!
