American Idol runner up, Adam Lambert, shocked the nation with his raunchy S&M simulated sex stage performance at the AMA’s. Lambert caused the internet to buzz after his Idol win after rumors circulated about his sexuality. The singer eventually confirmed that he was gay with a Rolling Stone Magazine cover story. Viral videos of Adam Lambert’s racy stage performances from before he was famous show that the singer always pushed the envelope . Lambert told RS that if any part of his AMA performance was edited before it was re-aired on the West coast then he would have to consider it to be discrimination. Adam Lambert was able to gain fans from American Idol from his tongue in cheek Freddy Mercury inspired performances but his live AMA singing voice is pretty awful. He completely missed the fact that his performance was terrible and no one should have been forced to watch it. The discrimination accusation was a bit too much. Obviously Adam Lambert is trying to launch an unsuccessful Madonna & Britney Spears type of shock and awe campaign. Here are some Twitter responses to the Adam Lambert AMA disaster.
OMG. I just saw the clip of Adam Lambert on AMA. I am a fan but was utterly disappointed. #atrocious #smh

Adam Lambert - For Your Entertainment AMA performance
For his first televised performance since the Season Eight finale of American Idol, Adam Lambert aimed for the kind of controversy Britney Spears and Madonna are known for generating, completely stunning the audience at Los Angeles’ Nokia Theatre and the millions watching the American Music Awards live on ABC with a risqué rendition of “For Your Entertainment.” Rolling Stone didn’t label Lambert the Wild Idol for nothing, and Glambert definitely delivered on his promise of a “sexy” performance as he closed the live show with simulated oral sex from a male backup dancer, a brief make-out session with his male keyboardist and a giant mirrored prop so the audience could see the looks on their own shocked faces. Rolling Stone has learned that producers weren’t informed about the guy-on-guy kiss in advance, and after the show, Lambert told RS the musician he kissed is a straight man.
In approximately 30 minutes the West Coast will get a look at the American Music Awards performance that has everyone talking: Adam Lambert’s racy rendition of For Your Entertainment’s title track. When Lambert finished his song — complete with simulated oral sex with a male backup dancer and a passionate kiss with a male keyboardist — earlier tonight, fans hit the Internet to debate whether the American Idol runner-up’s first major televised performance since the Idol finale pushed the envelope too far. Lambert tells Rolling Stone he didn’t do anything female performers haven’t done on television already — and that if ABC cuts any part of his performance for the rebroadcast it will amount to “discrimination.”
“It’s a shame because I think that there’s a double standard going on in the entertainment community right now,” Lambert tells RS backstage after the show at Los Angeles’ Nokia Theatre. “Female performers have been doing this for years — pushing the envelope about sexuality — and the minute a man does it, everybody freaks out. We’re in 2009; it’s time to take risks, be a little more brave, time to open people’s eyes and if it offends them, then maybe I’m not for them. My goal was not to piss people off, it was to promote freedom of expression and artistic freedom.”
If ABC opts not to broadcast several of the more risqué moments of “For Your Entertainment” in a few moments, “In a roundabout way it’s a form of discrimination because it is a double standard,” Lambert says. “They didn’t censor Britney and Madonna macking onstage did they? But yet two men kissing they’ll censor?” The famous 2003 Video Music Awards moment Lambert is referring to went down on cable television — on MTV, of course — rather than network television.
Reports about the West Coast broadcast of the American Music Awards indicate that ABC kept the kiss with Lambert’s keyboardist, but cut away from the simulated oral sex with his male backup dancer. [source]
