News -- Adam Lambert

Well when it comes to some good music awards show drama - this performance at the American Music Awards (Dick Clark Productions) is up there on the list. Although I must say I am less blown away that Adam Lambert decided to make out with a dude while performing his debut single For Your Entertainment than I am by the hoards of women and men grabbing at his dong the entire time he is on stage. So yes, everyone who gave two shits about American Idol this year and thought that the show was somehow rigged for this yelping eye-make-up guy to lose since he is gay just got the ultimate vindication. Adam "The New Openly Gay Pop Star" Lambert made out with a guy on live TV. And believe it or not - even with the mandatory FCC delay - the producers did not pull the plug and cut to an early commercial before it broadcast live (most likely the longest 7 to 12 seconds of that producer's life).

So now the debate begins. Homophobes will say this was lewd, terrifying and completely inappropriate for TV (which I might agree with) and everyone else will say HOW DARE YOU SAY THAT YOU HOMOPHOBIC JERK ASS? I will go ahead and toe the line and say that yes - it was honestly inappropriate not because he made out with a dude but because the whole performance just felt so fake and forced that instead of this being some spontaneous decision - it was clearly planned purely for shock value. However, when you get a young guy like Adam Lambert who for the last 8 weeks of American Idol blast his pipes out every night of the week and still lost to Kris Allen who whimpered lame tracks over acoustic guitar - you have to imagine he is going to do something outrageous when he is back on the national screen. Not to mention a guy who has an album cover that looks like this:

In short - kudos to Adam Lambert - your PR director was right and you will now forever be known as the gay or bi-sexual performer who isn't afraid to show it and you also successfully made everyone talk about how you acted instead of anyone actually listening to your crap ass song. I'll give you this - you got some balls. Kissing a dude on stage is one thing, but that random barrel-roll you did while your mic was hot - truly, truly unbelievable. One of the worst performances ever completely overshadowed by making out with a dude. I wish everything was that easy - I'd probably make out with a lot more dudes...

I would post the video but I am sure Dick Clark Productions will pull whichever video I link to but Google search Adam Lambert for the next 10 years and you will find it.
