I'm an Adam fan who loved him on AI. I stayed up until the end f the show just to watch him, and I was totally disappointed. That performance did not even showcase his amazing vocals, was completely trashy, and will alienate him from many former fans.

Wow. That was a train wreck. We felt bad for the guy because we actually really appreciated his talents and skill on AI. Between the stupid sex scenes and falling and tumbling, it was a disaster from the time he got on the stage. He should have taken the gig with Queen.

Adam, Adam, you have insulted your talent. I think you are feeding too much on shock reaction (which, lets face it, even Maury Povich can do!! - doesn't take a genius).
No one cares if you are gay, bi, or otherwise, what we liked on Idol was your stage presence, charisma and voice.
I thought you would have more class, you have taken a gift and clouded it's beauty. And yes, you will regret this my boy!!

Nice job Adam! Show the world how much the human race is nothing more than monkies that would nail anything they could attract with a piece of fruit. Being gay is the easiest thing in the world to do. It requires no moral convictions, no descriminating bias and the love of smelling human feces.

Generally...it has been done (Prince did it, with a great voice & talent), unlike this clown)...it is not that he did it, it is that he is practically a nobody with a shiteous song and voice & he did it....He did it for attention and press. His overall performance sucked and had he not done the sexual acts of desperation, he would'nt be getting any press AT ALL....IT is not the "double standard" bull shit, it is about this guy taht is failing as a recording artist, acting like a diva....He just drove a few more nails into the coffin of his pop career....STICK TO BROADWAY ADAM, WICKED WANTS YOU BACK, NOW

It would have been more entertaining if he could actually sing.
ICK.

well, it certainly seems that we’re a nation of prudes with a double sexual standard. the fact that we are blasé about and accept mind-numbing visuals regarding appalling violent images yet squirm at the sexual - except for those which may very well be rooted in misogyny - speaks volumes.
female performers have been drafting that card for quite some time, so the logical conclusion to reach about this brouhaha is that it's lambert's sexuality and not the performance that is fueling the outrage. substitute a female into the piece and honestly assess if any outrage you have would be quite as intense.
as far as the network goes, they had to know exactly what he was up to, and it's disingenuous on their part to feign otherwise. he may have thrown a curve ball with that kiss or a gesture or two, but so what? the rest was choreographed down to the finest detail, there were pictures all over the internet in the days leading up to the show with those costumes, the piece was likely rep

Oh please. I'm from Europe and I didn't find it sooo shocking in the slightest. He didn't do anything that much different from the other performers, IMO. The only reason why people are talking about it is because the guy has CHARISMA. Love him or hate him, he's just interesting to listen and watch, and that is the mark of a true artist. So he's not for everybody...so what? I like him, he's fearless and fun, and has a great voice.
PS BTW, about the kids watching? A lot could be also argued about letting your small kids be up at 11 PM, in order to watch a guy who isn't exactly known for playing it safe:-)that's what I also call a double standard

I'll always be a fan but Adam, that performance did not help your career at all! Those type of performances should be reserved for the Gay clubs and venues of that atmosphere, not an American Award show where millions of people/kids are watching! You really should keep in mind who you are singing to and who is watching. You keep doing performances like that your career will go now where fast! After that Performance, your album sales are not going to be as good as they could of been. Stick to what got you to where you are!!!
