Leni, You are right. The world has never been a perfect place. I do not argue that point. There has always been right and wrong. The thing is, though, when you see wrong you don't go along with it. No, when you see wrong you try to right it. That is why many of the things you mentioned are no longer around. Adam Lambert's obscene performance on the AMA telecast was wrong. There are laws in communities across this nation against such offensive behavior. Mr. Lambert needs to be prosecuted to the full extent of those laws.

YES, I'll be glued to the set! Not only does Adam have an amazing, powerhouse voice, he is also intelligent, charming and articulate. Thanks Oprah, for showcasing this fantastic, new talent! BTW, to Jen, you've made your point; now BUTT OUT, Windbag. Quit flogging your opinion, nobody cares...And to Reality, might I remind you that during that "not so long ago era", that you speak so fondly of, we also had, racial segregation, gender inequality, polio, world war, maybe your nastalgia is clouding your memories of how things really were back then.

Thankyou Oprah....what a unique talent he is. For those 'haters' out there, there is medication available to you.

OF COURSE NOT!!! BIG FAT NO!!! This is a favor to Ellen and Simon(who is arrogantly in denial) who have likely asked repeatedly of Oprah to glorify and have Adam on. Age or experience have nothing to do with honest observation. Read toyou10's and reality comments just above for dignified and honest opinions.

Adam Lambert should have won American Idol #1 spot. He is very talented. However, he should never repeat what he did on the American Music Awards. That was totally inappropriate. Adam is too talented to resort to lewd acts. I hope his appearance on Oprah's show will improve his image.
