Was Lambert's AMA Romp Too Much?

Adam Lambert certainly knows how to get people talking. His AMA performance could have just been his post-'Idol' breakout show, but instead it's become one of those "did he take it too far?" moments of awards show folklore that has everyone taking sides

Watch the Video Here! http://www.popeater.com/2...rformance/

The YouTube video has been pulled, but I got this link from AOL: http://www.popeater.com/2...rt-amas%2F

"When you're standing in the epicenter, the shaking starts here. Let the shakin' begin..." -Paradigm, 2001
"Shake your body all over me, woman, and dance..."- Dance Wit' Me, 1982
"You gotta shake somethin'!"- Shake!, 1990

It was pure shock value whoring. Desperate to a lot yes but fuck it, I thought it was cheap and awesome to see a dude's face in his crotch. It's about time.

I haven't seen the video (and don't really want to) but the pics I saw of the shocking moments don't seem any different from what Madonna does, except that he's a man, and people would apparently rather watch two women kiss than two men--I certainly would.

But what he did and what Madonna loves to do are basically without substance, they are just "provocative for its own sake."

Madonna uses crosses to seem deep, but it's all flash. I feel the same about Adam. His singing is good, technically, but I hate his style, and there doesn't seem to be anything behind it.

Shock value! Hell Madonna, Prince etc have used that tool. Has us talking about him..so guess it worked.

So, um....what is Lambert famous for again? Don't people know that American Idol is really just one big karaoke contest? ;confuse:

Wait.....who?





?

I think Prince should get credit for doing the guy-on-guy BJ simulation on the AMAs long before this. Back in '95, he was kneeling in front of Tommy Barbarella's...instrument in a way that definitely brought a BJ to mind.

Also, Adam Lambert is a screeching freak.

As long as a woman is the submissive sex object, right?

I think it's more that a woman's homoeroticism is sexier to the mainstream public than a man's.

I could see Madonna could pulling a man (or woman) into her crotch.

I think Bowie was first!

No, but his singing and the song were fucking horrendous.

That guy totally sucks.

The guy screams like a banshee and often off key.
