Adam Lambert's AMA Performance Draws Complaints

Mon, 23 Nov 2009 15:59:50 +0000

A few things discussed after last night's American Music Awards: Taylor Swift winning everything, Lady Gaga getting shut out by otherwise literally obscure band Gloriana, and of course, Adam Lambert's first major performance. And that, as expected, as raised eyebrows--his performance of his first single, "For Your Entertainment", saw him simulate oral sex with a back-up dancer, plant a kiss on a male keyboard player, and flash the finger at the audience. And folks in the West Coast didn't even get to see the more controversial part: Adam rubbing a male dancer's face in his crotch. Now, ABC, which aired the awards ceremony last night, confirmed that it received at least 1,500 complaints about the American Idol runner-up's performance. Dick Clark Productions, the producers behind the event, also added that they were unaware of what Adam planned basing on rehearsals. "We did not expect the impromptu moments," a spokesperson said.

If the graveyard shift at Lloyds was watching ABC/Dick Clark Productions’ “American Music Awards” in the middle of the night on Sunday, their gasp may have been loud enough to reach the Nokia Theater here in LA.

Gloriana Beat Out Lady Gaga, Keri Hilson, Kid Cudi At AMAs

Country act earns upset victory for Breakthrough Artist award. By Kyle Anderson Gloriana at the American Music Awards on Sunday Photo: Lester Cohen/WireImage Sunday night's American Music Awards were so full of incredible performances — from Lady Gaga's liberal use of pyrotechnics to Adam Lambert's sexy display — that the actual awards given out seemed almost secondary. Still, the night's biggest upset probably belonged to country act Gloriana, who beat out Gaga (as well as R&B; star Keri Hilson and rising hip-hop star Kid Cudi) for the Breakthrough Artist award. AMAs Red Carpet The country group formed in 2008 when brothers Tom and Mike Gossin teamed up with singer and solo artist Cheyenne Kimball (who had first grabbed headlines as the winner of "America's Most Talented Kid" in 2002). Though the Gossin brothers are from Utica, New York, they relocated to Wilmington, North Carolina, to kickstart ...

Adam Lambert Says AMA Kiss Was 'In The Moment'

Singer also said that any criticism of the bit is discriminatory and shows a "double standard." By Gil Kaufman Adam Lambert kisses his keyboard player onstage at the American Music Awards Photo: Kevin Winter/ Getty Images Just last week, the editor-in-chief of the gay magazine Out was lamenting that Adam Lambert 's handlers were allegedly trying to ease the out-and-proud singer back into the closet a bit. While Lambert told the gay magazine to chill, he seemed intent on sending a strong message on Sunday night with his pan-sexually charged performance of the title track from his debut album, For Your Entertainment. In addition to dragging a female dancer around by the ankles, pushing a male dancer's head into his crotch and simulating oral sex, walking a pair of male hoofers around like dogs on a leash, and furiously thrusting his hips at every opportunity, Lambert took a moment mid-song to fervently make out with (an allegedly straight) male keyboard ...
