Adam Lambert on the AMA’s (Faux Blow!) Video!
Adam Lambert just performed at the AMA’s. He is already the number one trending topic on twitter. This might be because he had a guy giving him a faux head on stage. And that was the TAME part.

Is America ready for Adam Lambert? Well, those American Idol fans voted him in sooo…shouldn’t they be? While not personally disgusted like many tweet’s are, I found the performance lacking in style and musical ability. And the idea of showing softcore porn to push limits was SO out there and random it seemed like a teenager taunting his parents. The issue for some is not that it was a guy showing homosexual tenancies on the screen but how he pushed it - and the reaction you’d have if a guy forced a girl’s dancer down at his croctch and pushed her face in. But for many others, their issue is simply the fact that it was a guy, and that’s sad. I’m disappointed.

GMA is on ABC.

If GMA cancels I think they're going to look like they're overreacting. The WSJ is one of the most conservative papers in the country and they didn't think it was bad.

Why are people saying the kiss was censored on the Central Time zone broadcast? Not true!!!

I watched it in Chicago and it had everything: simulated BJ, vag grab, the chick stroking his crotch, leashes and the kiss which wasn't even that brief. The only part that seemed to censored was was the "till you screamin' my name" line during the simulated BJ and after the fall/roll Adam omitted the word "pleasure" from the line "take the pain take the pleasure".

Sound was lost briefly in a spot, after the kiss when there was just music and Adam wasn't even singing just standing up there but it sounded like technical difficulty to me. Nowhere was the performance blacked out.

I must say on 5th viewing, it's not nearly as crayzee! The only problem was that fall/roll and the sound quality near the middle.

Not sure if anyone posted these yet. Just a few responses to Adam's performance, mostly good.

girls and boys, adam's twitter follower is going up every minute. so i have to say whatever they set out to do, it worked. the only thing missing may be his vocals but hey, 80% of them can't sing while dancing...would you rather adam lip sync?

On the bright side FYE single is now at #60 Overall on ITunes and the FYE Album is at #16 Overall.

(For some reason, my album pre-order on ITunes hasn't downloaded yet though)

Alright, I just re-watched it a second time. The first time, I was confused, and didn't know what to think, just like I was after his ROF performance. Here are my thoughts....

[*] Vocals aren't NEARLY as rough as I originally thought they were on first watch. Sure he's a little flat when he hits the high notes, but come on, he can't be expected to hit every note perfectly, every time!

[*] The fall scared the crap out of me. I had visions of him falling completely off of that section and injuring himself badly, but he did cover, albeit a little obviously.

[*] I think the fall threw him off a little, as it seemed to take him about 30 seconds or so to get completely back into the zone.

[*] The kiss was definitely a fake staged kiss. At first, I was really shocked and didn't think he should have done it, but this is ADAM we're talking about here. He doesn't do ANYTHING that's expected of him, and I'm sure that Tommy Joe was in on it too.

[*] The costume wasn't as glammed up as I thought it could be, but he still looked hot. Wish he would have done emo hair, though.

[*] I was glad to see his parents with him on the red carpet.

[*] It wasn't his best performance, but you know what? It could have been FAR WORSE. He got people talking, and that was his objective I think! I think it's one of those performances that you have to watch a few times in order to really understand it, just like ROF was.

I've got a Kris Allen lyric stuck in my head: Honesty is honestly the hardest thing for me right now... :(
