Just going for the shock value there. What was with him practically chewing the face off the keyboard player though? Reading some of the comments on Youtube about that are hilarious though - it's actually a female he's kissing but some people thought it was another guy. Apparently now Adam Lambert has "poisoned little children's minds" ....

Lol, gotta love americans. I thought it was a guy, too - it was so disgusting, if someone kissed me like they were trying to tongue my epiglottis I'd be bloody sick!

So very cringeworthy but funny nonetheless. I'm damn sure that he didn't mean to roll over like that just before 2 minutes in. He did well to turn that fall into a part of the routine. What the hell the screaming was all about I've no idea, it did him no favours. Wonder how it'll impact on his sales in America now the album is out.

I'm a big fan of Adam ... but this performance? No ... just no! lol

I get the whole thing about trying to be 'controversial' but dont think this was the right way to go about it. I have no problem with the kissing because its nothing Madonna and Britney haven't done, but the simulated oral sex on a show that kids are watching? Come on, lets have SOME decency. Overall though I thought it wasnt a good performance but im not sure how much of that blame actually lies with Adam.

Really like Adam though!

I don't have a clue who Adam Lambert is, never heard of him, but just clicked on the link to watch the clip. What the hell was that?! Lol. He has a good voice (apart from going overboard on the screaming at the end) but the whole performance/routine looked like a naff Eurovision entry or a completely OTT karaoke performance! So cheesy. Is this guy a big star in the US? The announcer at the beginning of the clip says it's his debut single yet people are talking as if he's been around making music for a long time!

Ah ok, thanks. I've rarely watched American Idol so I guess not surprising I don't know him. Certainly a unique looking character, anyway! Lol.

Me To He is a very Dirrrrty boy and I loved that performance.
Thats what people loved about him on American Idol, his crazy vocals and his filthy sexuality.

WTF. I liked Adam but I've been less impressed post-Idol. His single cover and what not screamed "trying to hard". I know he's over the top crazy but he needs to reign it in just a little bit.
On the plus side he's HOT.

lol, first time I've seen him too. A terrible but very funny performance. The forward roll was a nice touch .

Song and performance terrible, seems he was more concerned about getting the fact that he's gay over , Rob Halford of Judas Priest is gay but do you hear or see him do something as disasterous as that?

The sound is just dire, he should stay away from electropop stuff as the song was atrocious.

Trainwreck on so many levels, liked the stuff he did on AI, but now I'm not so sure, he's a fake.

The song is not catchy, the performance was uninspiring and the vocals did Lambert no justice at all.

It kinda reminds me of George Michael's 'Freeek!' which was another overtly sexual, under-written song.

I was live tweeting through the night of AMAs & yes Adam Lambert's performance pushed buttons & was busy - but I agree with Rosie - before you dismiss what a great artist he is listen to the album - I am a huge Adam fan & personally loved the performance but recognise due to many reasons, it may not have been his best vocals & to everyone's taste.

I actually see who the OP is & that person has been anti Adam since idol days - lets just say that I am not surprised this person has started the thread but I suppose everyone has their own views - Adam inspires strong feelings in everyone whether you support or hate what he does.

He is appearing on David Letterman tonight singing another song from the album... BTW his sales are going through the roof!!!

Really? Where did you read that?

All I have read is the report from Billboard that SuBo is slaying the competition sales wise, and next in line for sales is Lady GaGa.

His single debuted at number 84, but then again it is pretty bad.
