Discrimination my foot. What Adam did was just plain porn & totally inappropriate for that audience. Yes, some people show way too much but there is a distinction between “sexy” and just plain porn. Adam needs to STFU & don’t dig his hole deeper. What is done is done.

Preemptive claims of discrimination don’t really make me happy either. Part of me kind of feels like he kissed his band member so that he could make this about “freedom of expression” and non-discrimination.

Letterman’s gonna have a field day with him for sure. haha. Wonder what he’ll be singing then.

He’s singing Whataya Want From Me on Letterman and I don’t believe there is an interview. Letterman doesn’t usually interview the guest performers.

I’m upset that I didn’t get my FYE album today by mail Yep, still an Adam fan even though I had to pull my mouth shut after that performance. lol
He sure has people talking though. Have to watch MTV Tuesday 3:30pm eastern time to see him with Alexa Chung. Letterman’s gonna have a field day with him for sure. haha. Wonder what he’ll be singing then.

Set aside the performance issues here, I have serious problems with AL claiming discrimination based on the editing here. Maybe if the kiss had been edited out, but I don’t know of any other situation where a simulated bj by any artist (or anyone else, for that matter) was permitted on network television during prime time. Period. Regardless of gender of sexual orientation. Discrimination is a serious matter. And it didn’t happen here

Adam’s comments about censorship came immediately after the performance and before the west coast feed had been broadcasted. At that time he did not know what might or might not be censored or if it would be edited at all. He simply stated that if his performance were subjected to censorship, it could constitute discrimination.

Reminder:

Deleting and editing angry, defensive posts. Also, the lecturing–please keep your screeds on your fansites. We DON’T keep fans in line here.

I do not care anymore about Lambert`s music, after this performance. He is not interesting. I`ve downloaded couple of his song before, but that`s it from me.

Ah well….haven’t read thru all of the comments of the day, but IMO AL’s performance wasn’t offensive in the puritan sense….but thought it was just plain stupid. What was he thinking? I didn’t find anything about the performance sensual. Just uncomfortable. Vocals were off. Choreography not vocalist friendly. And….just felt an immature vibe coming off the performance. And why was he flipping me off?

Starry …. well said and ITA.

I miss the smile he normally did at the end of a performance.

Why are people complaining about the kiss being edited out? IT WASN’T. Saw it on the west coast airing and the edit was the simulated blowjob, and rightly so. What was the discrimination here? Discrimination against the performance of lewd acts onstage?

Starry, I couldn’t have said it better myself.

Expectations were high…for me it was a good performance, and I’m still a fan. Being an Adam fan is exciting. So happy that I could get his cd here in HK.
