Adam Lambert stirring up controversy

At the AMA's Adam Lambert shocked many people. He turned a lot of people agaisnt him due to his risque performance. Millions of people watch the AMA's and because its aired on ABC, its a family network so it attracts a young audience as well as an older one. He came of as "risque" due to him pretending to recieve oral sex from another male with mirrors all around so the audience can see everything. He also made out with the male keyboardest. He had woman all over him acting as sex slaves. There was alot of touching and caressing the legs during his performance and the lyrics were very sexual. First of all this stirs up controversy because younger people may see it on public television and think its ok to be promiscous. Parents were not happy when they saw this, they dont want thier young children to know about oral yet and even worse reenact it.

I think he did this on purpose. I think he wanted to get the negative attention because hey its negative but its still getting talked about. He is following in the footsteps of Elvis and Madonna being risque. People either loved them or hated them but either way they were still very well known and talked about.

I think Adam Lambert is a great artist but he could of cleaned up his act for a family television network. People wonder why kids younger and younger want to be sexy and promiscuous, its because they idolize these artists and think that if they are doing it then it is ok to copy them. I think he owes America an apology.

  1. Granted, if I were a parent I wouldn't want my children to see this either. BUT: 1) it was on later at night. why aren't your young children in bed? 2) for those who are old enough to be up watching this, was it really that outrageous? Have we taken a look at ourselves lately? Homosexuality, sexual promiscuity, etc is everywhere. Hello, Lady Gaga? How is she less controversial?

    Parents freaking out about this need to talk a step back and maybe monitor what they're children watch in the first place.

  2. I think Adam Lambert definently did that for publicity. It was talked about in the news & on the internet the next day so his name was all over the place so it seemed to have worked for him. I think parents who were offended shouldnt be watching these kinds of awards programs with their young children who cant be exposed to this. put them to bed.
