HAPPY THANKSGIVING everyone!
Thanks Zsus! Agree Star!
I heard Adam compare what he did to Madonna’s kiss, Janet’s crouch grab, etc. I still say he crossed the line and I believe his competitive juices & pressure/anxiety of live tv and expectations were to partly blame. THere’s a difference between televising a kiss, and dancers walking with rifles, than televising someone simulating a sexual act(s). Adam’s point about Rihanna’s dancers with the rifles and how America is okay or better with violence than sex is not on point for me. It’s like when fans threw items on stage at the AI tour. If Adam would have acted out an explicit sexual act with them or if RIhanna’s dancers would have started simulating shooting each other like a gang war I would have been up in arms. It’s a fine line but for me it’s there. And, I still say the FCC regulates public, network tv. As parents we assume that the people who will be televised will adhere to those regulations as they are adults performers and supposed to show control. I agree it is not Adam’s job to “babysit” and it is absolutely my responsibility to decide ultimately what my children can and cannot watch and do. It is Adam’s job to stay in control with the rules governing the moment. WHat he wants to do on tour is his business.
Again, I would have loved to have people talk about his talent after watching the AMAs. They didn’t. They talked about controversay. Not sure how many after watching him for the first time would tune into Letterman or the Early Show to see what he could really do and should have on the AMAs. SOngs are better too. I understand people who don’t think Adam respects music. I don’t think though that he doesn’t respect music but he should have respected and treasured his gift, talent and voice more than thinking he had to out perform to compete with Gaga,etc. Even he said Kelly had a great vocal performance. She is selling like crazy and deservedly so. All he had to do was sing his face off on the AMAs and he would have “won” whatever competition he perceived. ANyway, have a great day, eat up everyone!
