Adam Lambert

ADAM LAMBERT DOESN'T CARE ABOUT STRAIGHT PEOPLE.

This whole thread is just funny now. His whole show was just for shock value in order to get some attention. Because he is a very mediocre singer. (His vocal were horrible in that video, was he that bad on Idol?) So all you flipping out and getting your panties in a twist fell for it hook, line, and sinker. This is nothing new, performers do retarded shit all the time at shows to hide the fact they have no real talent. (See: Britney Spears, etc) Change the channel, don't buy their stuff, and soon enough they will fade away. At least until they lose their minds, shave their heads, and attack SUVs

Anywho, continue on with the peniseseseses!

The fallout from Adam Lambert's risqué American Music Awards performance keeps coming with "Good Morning America" canceling the singer's live performance scheduled for Wednesday morning.

ABC was flooded with more than 1,500 complaints, and the network sent an e-mail to potential concert goers letting them know that Lambert would not be performing on Wednesday.

"Given Adam Lambert's controversial live performance on the AMAs, we were concerned about airing a similar concert so early in the morning," a spokesperson for the network said.

"The Early Show" on rival network CBS was quick to announce that they have booked Lambert to perform and discuss the controversy on Wednesday morning.

Lambert shocked viewers with his sexually suggestive dance sequence that included simulated oral sex as well as Lambert kissing his male keyboardist.

Video: AMAs rock the night The Parents Television Council, a Media watchdog group, also attacked the show as vulgar and urged its members on Monday to contact ABC, Dick Clark Productions and the show's advertisers with complaints about the content.

"Last night's 'American Music Awards' broadcast was nothing short of tasteless and vulgar. Adam Lambert, the second-place finisher in last season's 'American Idol' competition, chose to treat American families to simulated oral sex and other demeaning behavior," the PTC posted on its Web site.

Melissa Henson, director of communications and public education for the PTC, said the council wasn't concerned about Lambert's gay kiss. Its issue and focus are on the simulated oral sex, she said.

"The gender has nothing to do with it," Henson said. "It would be true if it had been a woman's face that was thrust into his crotch."

Henson also noted that this is not an anti-Adam Lambert campaign and said the council would have had no problem with Lambert performing live on "Good Morning America."

"As long as he keeps it clean," Henson said.

Not surprised.. and this has been mentioned MANY times I know.. but did Christina/Britney/Madonna .. and Britney/madonna .. and every other female/female kiss in the last two years get this kind of attention when it was even more blatant? Juuuuust curious..

Am I the only one disgusted by the song and not the act? Song was terrible

They were both pretty disgusting, but it didn't have anything to do with gay.

[Trelution]

Wait, so 1,500 complaints out of how many millions that tuned in is a "Flood of complaints"?

[willriker]

Yes, considering those were just the people who were so pissed off that they were motivated enough to get off their butts and figure out how to file a complaint with ABC. The rest of us just complain in the office, on a popular forum, or a blog.

Plenty of people pissed off about it.

[Trelution]

Well, yeah its the internet of course everyone is bitching on it. But 1,500 "formal" complaints seems pretty minor for the fire people are spewing over it.

Some people just need a hobby. Then again, perhaps complaining IS their hobby.

And yes, Adam Lambert was HORRIBLE. Performance was bad, singing was bad, etc. He wasn't absolutely great on A.I. either but meh, neither was the winner (what was his name again? Yaaaah).

[Correction]

Considering the context it's hard to be offended by bad music at that point in the AMA awards show.

pretty sure the scientific consensus has more or less been it's both nature and nurture
kuya knows, I remember him quoting something a while back

The scientific consensus was that people should stop fucking nitpicking research to support their own little political crusades. Independently of whether science ever discovers what makes people desire a shoe, gays and bible thumpers should stick to different arguments.

Sewer of rights? Im all for rights that promote healthy stable American family's. I grew up in a happy healthy home, and I want that more than anything else for my children, and their children. The "rights" you want do nothing to promote true American values. They distort what America is about. Having "freedom" doesn't always mean you do whatever the fuck you want. Doing whatever the fuck you feel like is selfish, and rarely leads to anything positive.

only good post in the whole thread, now that I've read it over. I'm disappointed in BG... I expected much better drama out of this.

oh well, at least we got a couple pages of gay porn.

I already said I don't care about gays who keep it to themselves, like Anderson Cooper. He's got my respect, as long as he doesn't bring it into his news show that I watch to be informed. Mental flamboyance in the case of Adam Lambert is what I can't tolerate though. That's why I said:

There's no need to display flamboyant homosexuality in a public venue like the American Music Awards. This show's aired on ABC, which is usually a family network. It's a channel that's affiliated with Disney man. BTW I'm Jamaican, where I come from, we burn battymen who do shit like this in public. Don't get me wrong, but I can see this affecting this kid negatively in the future. There's no need to display that shit on a family network like ABC, keep that shit to yourself man. You don't see respectable people like Anderson Cooper, Elton John, George Michael doing shit like that on national TV do you??? GTFO Adam Lambert...

People will never be used to males thrusting males in their crotch, especially on networks like ABC. Matter of fact, I have like 1,000 channels on my TV, and not one of them display that type of vulgarity between men.

Of course you have late night Cinemax, but I enjoy softcore between MAN and WOMEN ONLY. If they ever put gay softcore on those channels, I would definitly not watch them, because there would be disclaimers in the description of the show that would tell me not to watch them. ABC's description for the show did not mention "Simulated gay sex, tran-sexual, and flamboyant gay men will be on stage tonight, performed by Adam Lambert." According to what ABC is saying now, that dude put that shit in his act without telling anyone during rehearsal. Apparently, he wanted to piss off a lot of people, and now ABC is already canceling his shit, and he has to go to lower grade CBS now to promote his shit haha.

If he would get off his stubborn ass to apologize while he's explaining stuff on CBS, that would be a good, but this dude is already saying he doesn't want to apologize because it's all "Apple's n Oranges" to him...Like I said before, gay is not a race, to pass judgment on them is not discrimination nor does it make me a bigot. The only thing God doesn't want us to do is pass judgment in the first place, we should just let him handle everything mayne.

P.S. Shakira, J Lo, Alicia Keys, Carrie Underwood, Whitney Houston, Lady Gaga (surprisingly), Janet Jackson, Mary J. Blige, all didn't put anything vulgar into their act. Shakira always dances the way she does, J Lo didn't do anything vulgar, everyone got a good laugh out of her bustin her ass though. Women can act sexy if they want, everyone knows straight-sex sells. Women being sexy appeals to men (and women).

Homo-sex doesn't sell because homosexuality can only appeal to one gender at a time, with the exception to lesbians. If a man is on stage simulating sex with men, then it'll only appeal to gay men. So I say fuck that noise, if you don't like looking at our sexy women then fuck you!

Women on women appeals to lesbian women AND straight men because men naturally enjoy looking at the women's body. God made all women to be beautiful. Still though, we don't see girls eating out pussy on ABC, why did a gay man have the need to do that on a family network?

[Bipolargod]

Gay is not a race, so stop trying to make it seem like I'm discriminating. People aren't born gay, it's a mental condition they develop. It's possible to be treated, you just have to go to church, and try hard nukka. I'm going to stop judging you guys though, I'll just keep praying that you become enlightened by the scripture someday. Only God can pass judgment, and you will be held accountable on Judgment Day.

lmao, you're a fuckin retard just go kill yourself...do yourself and us the favor...please

Good god lol, I thought lief was good.

It was unneeded when Madonna/Brittney did it and it really wasn't needed here. Okay. You're gay. That's great and all but you don't need to flaunt it... especially on a national broadcast like that...

When Madonna and Britney did it, it was on MTV, which is a station that's known for Vulgar acts on their award shows (i.e. Bruno dropping on Eminem's head (while being almost naked) recently, among other events). What Lambert did was on ABC which is a family oriented network affiliated with Disney.

[Yuri-G]

aw, Vajra, you shouldn't have. here I was complaining about how boring this thread was and you just have to come on in here with your bullshit Jamaican prejudice and liven it up a bit. thanks

and I honestly don't care nearly as much about people who hate gays as those who claim to have no problem with gay people as long as they don't have to see it. you know what? just be a man and own the fuck up to your homophobia. stop this pussyfooting around bullshit.

and Adam Lambert was not flaunting his homosexuality. he was flaunting his sexuality, period. he just happens to be gay. do we have to repeat the goddamn tired-out Madonna/Britney comparison again? it's been trotted out left and right and this thread, yet people still don't seem to get it.

I'm of the opinion that if you don't care if a heterosexual does it, then you shouldn't care if a homosexual does it. pretty simple, pretty fair.

oh, that makes it ok. I'm sure this has nothing to do with your desire to burn battymen... you're just a staunch defender of poor old ABC network... how dare Adam Lambert take advantage of their kindness in inviting him to perform! what a motherfucking faggot.

I don't buy for one second that you would have made this thread if it were two women, or a woman and a man. it has nothing to do with ABC's family values, don't patronize us. nobody here is that dumb. well... most of us aren't. like I said before, at the very least, be a man and own up to your values and beliefs instead of trying to temper them with hollow logic so you sound like less of a jerk.
