This is not rock and roll - this is cheap theatrics inserted into what should have been a show all about his music. Adam doesn't need to resort to this in order to put on a good show, it doesn't compel me to want to spend my money to see him, if this is what is going to be included. The objective should be to gain new fans - not play to the ones he already has. Only the most established singers can get away with doing that, and he hasn't risen to that level yet. There is no way he is going to make it in the long run with the emphasis on such theatrical spectacle like he relies on, instead of just letting his music speak for him.

That was HOT! I agree. Adam has been doing this sort of homo-erotic things way before Idol (and off camera) because--DUH--he's gay. But Miley only does it ON camera which, to me, is only for attention and shock value. Granted, Adam kind of does it for entertainment, but he owns up to his kinky actions with far more class than Miley by not whining about the backlash/criticism. I don't think Miley can handle criticism especially after her response regarding her "fake" kiss.

i think that picture is disgusting, sorry. and i just don't get or see the need for any performer, straight or gay, young or old, to resort to such low rent tactics to entertain an audience. adam can sing - there is no need for him to subject people to public acts or displays like this, nor do i want to see it from any performer. what is the purpose, we know he's gay, we don't need to be shocked or tittilated in this way to enjoy a show. he's becoming just another cheap artist in a long line of cheap artists who put everything but the music first. and the author is a wimp for buckling under pressure from ott fans to edit this article. yes, your objectivity and credibility is lost in doing so. stand by what you say, or feel, hell or high water.

@Susan... I don't think ANYONE is blasting Adam for being Adam. I am reading just the opposite!

...one more comment (sorry for getting on a soap-box, but I have held back on Cyrus up until now).
Adam Lambert is 28 years old and has clearly spent time figuring out who he is at heart and is true to that definition.
Cyrus needs to spend some time in deep reflection. She seems to be taking the throw the spaghetti at the wall approach to deciding who is "really" is. Rather than trying one thing, then another for pure shock value, she should take a year or two off --maybe go to school and GROW UP. Then, if she wants to come back as an edgy 20-something, fine. If she is as great of an artist as she claims she is, she will have no problem doing this. Or, is it, as I suspect, all about being marketable and a puppet for the marketing machine?
OK... Done.

I'm so glad you guys understand the difference here. I've seen video from this last night and it wasn't choreography they just kind of get into it. Adam should be allowed to go off the vibe he's getting.
I'm glad to see the AMAs crap didn't scare him away from getting a little sexy on stage every now and then.
Glad to see media outlets supporting him :D

Sorry, but this is Rock N Roll! I think we have had so many Disney stars (Miley) shoved down our throats we forgot Rock N Roll! Let Adam be Adam! If he is feeling frisky on stage with his music why not? With his insane talent I cannot for the life of me understand why people want to dwell on one little piece of his show! His vocals were flawless again last night and his moves are sexier than sex itself! The guy has it all, he is the whole package and he is real! He owns his performance, not copying, not pretending, just being himself! I have never been so blown away from an entertainer in a long while, he is fresh, exciting and damn good! This is one concert where I am not satisfied seeing once, Adam just makes me want to keep going back for more! Exceptional artist!

Perfect commentary on the difference between Lambert and Cyrus. Other than keeping his sexual preferences to himself during Idol (a perfectly appropriate and professional move) he has been open about being gay since Idol ended and has NOTHING to apologize for. Cyrus, on other had, seems to be missing a chip when it comes to understanding how and why people are upset with her.
Hollywood Gossip's tone is absolutely right on when it comes to Cyrus and Lambert. Keep up the good work.

Adam is an amazing performer. His vocals sound even more amazing live. You are right, fans know what they are getting when they go to an Adam concert, and we LOVE it. Bring on the Glam! Thank you Adam for staying true to yourself.

If he starts making out with Cam the keyboardist, who is also gay, then I will be the first to criticize Adam for antics.
