Adam Lambert Kisses a Boy During 2009 American Music Awards Performance; Adam Lambert's AMA Performance Shocks Many Viewers
American Idol runner up Adam Lambert closed last night's 2009 American Music Awards show with a racy performance of his single, For Your Entertainment. As usual, the glam bad boy of
American Idol didn't fail to get his point across as he paraded across the AMA stage.
Lambert's AMA performance of For Your Entertainment featured scantily leather- clad backup dancers, lots of groping, simulated sex acts and a spontaneous kiss with another male midway through the performance. According to Rolling Stone, Lambert didn't clear the male kiss with anyone in advance. Lambert told CNN that the kiss happened "in the moment".
After a mostly tame awards ceremony featuring wholesome pop country singer Taylor Swift sweeping most of the major awards, Lambert's closing performance left a bad taste in the mouths of many viewers, especially parents who let their tween Taylor Swift fans stay up to watch the show.
After the tongues instantly started wagging about his shocking performance, Lambert, who has a fairly cocky attitude for someone who lost on American Idol, pulled the discrimination card, saying there's a "double standard" and telling Rolling Stone that it would be "discrimination" if his performance was edited for later broadcasts. Lambert was most likely referring to Madonna and Britney Spear's controversial kiss during their racy performance at the 2003 MTV Music Video Awards.
Lambert's song, For Your Entertainment, was in itself rather boring. It featured a few of Lambert's infamous shrieks, but the song itself wasn't all that memorable. If Lambert hadn't turned up the heat on his performance, certainly no one would be talking about it today.
Shock value aside, Adam Lambert has had much better performances during his stint on the American Idol stage last season. Most notably, his performance of the Tears for Fears song Mad World was one of the best performances ever on the show. Lambert's AMA performance, while controversial, paled in comparison.
