I am a Senior Citizen and recall many taboos in the past. When I was a young woman I recall they would only show Elvis from the waist up.
Why don’t we learn from out mistakes. Adam will be a big star and no one can stop him. I hope Adam’s fans boycott ABC to show them they are wrong. Watch CBS

I am sick of all the Glambert drama.

He is a big joke.

Orbust what is wrong with having a few tabu on a television show? Were you hurt in any way seeing Elvis only from the waist up? Of course I like to see performers and all of it. But I don’t think it can hurt to keep a few things private.

I think learning from a mistake in Adam’s case would be if he delivered a stellar performance with amazing vocals on the early morning show. Because after all he does have the talent and the vocals.

He focused way too much on the performance and too little on his vocal which actually could give him a presence in the music buisness if that is what he wants

Yep, at one time Elvis movements were considered vulgar and taboo.. and he ran to the bank with that. All I can say, WHAT A LOAD OF FREE PUBLICITY for Adam… I am a fan.. he made my jaw drop and at least was depressed but now I saw his agenda and he succeeded. Nobody has stopped talking, twatting or blogging since his performance whether it was good or bad. In the end, if you want to boycott him, silence would have been your objected but since you are voicing people now want to know WHO IS THIS KID.. Good luck Adam, Gays are confused cuz you touch naked girls… Straights are hating cuz you kiss guys… Just stay true to yourself and that makes you a winner

Why would I watch a second dose of the worst performance I ever saw?

If it was so “not-taboo” why did the west coast edit everything out except the male to male kiss? Now so many are making it sound like it was just that. Give me a break.

No wonder Adam can’t keep a boyfriend–he has no idea the true art of seduction. Vulgar is vulgar. And do not call that art. I remember a European artist chaining up a dog and starving it to death and it was called art. There was nothing artistic about what I saw on the east coast. He even sounded terrible. He even looked swarmy. This only established him as a drama queen. I am so disappointed in what I saw.

I’ll spend my time and dime on real artists–not that crap. I loved the tunes I have from Idol that he did–but he was forced in their box. Now he is in his own and I just do not like where he has gone. I voted for Adam and I feel duped.

Jesus…..times haven’t changed have they. Unbelievable!

The used to Ban the Beatles on US tv because they had long hair? and their music sounded tooo devil worshiping.

I’m banning the GMA show until they offer Adam and the general public an apology for discrimination. It won’t be hard to do because I never watch their show anyway.lol

I’m guessing way more people will watch the Early Show tomorrow now because of all the publicity!

MeLovesAdam on November 24, 2009 at 1:25 pm

You guys forget one thing. This was his grand debut as a solo singer away from a talent show.

Elvis and the Beatles were established artists and this is the reason why they could change things.

Not many outside of the show of American Idol knew him the artist.

Now they know him as the person who made his sexuality the central point of his performance instead of showing off his vocal range.

It wasn’t even well done! It looked cheap and desperate.

I’m I the only person who finds this whole “situation” absolutely entertaining and hilarious? I, too, was slightly shocked by Adam’s performance on the AMA’s, but after reading people’s comments and Adam’s response and explanation, I’m dying!!!! Adam’s right; there are many female singers who incorporate simulated sex into their performances. So, Adam took it a couple steps further. It’s funny. I LOVE that GMA cancelled, and the Early Show picked him up. Thank you, Adam. I’m dealing with REAL issues, and this is a great diversion. Adam’s keeping his word – FYE!

margaret on November 24, 2009 at 1:33 pm

Thank you CBS for seeing past all this idiocy and embracing Adam for who he is – a born entertainer! I hope the Early Show’s ratings go through the roof tomorrow

I love Adam Lambert and will support him no matter what!

Good for CBS!! I guess that means he will still be on Letterman tomorrow night, but now I wonder if he will be on Barbra Walters special of the 10 most fascinating people of 2009. You remember Barbra she was the one who had an affair with a married man and wrote about it in her boring book. The model of purity. I think we should all boycott ABC.
I like what margaret said right before me.

Merle on November 24, 2009 at 1:44 pm

Bravo CBS; Over at Perez Hilton he pointed out that there’s not bad press and Adam will benefit from all of this in the end. It’s like he went to the Madonna school of how to make a kurfuffle.

I have a dumb question. I don’t really follow Lambert news but why was he performing on the AMA’s? If I am remembering correctly, last year David Cook did a set at the Red Carpet event and then presented one or more awards during the AMA show. Is it unusual to have an AMA performer who doesn’t even have an album out yet?

violet4ever on November 24, 2009 at 2:07 pm
21

violet4ever, nobody knows why he was performing but he had a great opportunity. I wish they awarded the winner of American idol 2009 the same. After all Idol is making a great impact lately. Paula presented, Kelly, Daughtry, Carrie sang and Kris presented.

Sandra on November 24, 2009 at 2:12 pm

His appearance at the AMAs was part of the promotional campaign for his album. Product placement of sorts.

PA on November 24, 2009 at 2:13 pm

Oh–I see–it is discrimination for rejecting public TV simulated oral sex, digital penetration, dog sex slaves, dominatrix and giving the bird to the audience. How in hell is that prejudice? That’s as much of a stretch as calling Adam’s performance art.

Too bad–Adam DOES have talent. He doesn’t need all the sex-fluff. Whitney Houston and Kelly Clarkson only needed microphones. Rihanna did need a gun microphone and bracelet complete with a Band-aid outfit because she sings like a wounded animal. But, Adam has a voice. His act concentrated so much on the shock value, he forgot how to sing. I cannot help but wish he did what the other 2 high-ranking talents did–stand there and sing. Really sing.

I recall an interview where he said he would like a kid someday. I wonder if he will be like Madonna and not allow HIS kids to see that kind of crap that she littered the world with?

The CBS Early Show is the 3rd place “also ran” of morning shows with poor ratings.

They want him as a gimmick.

druzilla on November 24, 2009 at 2:39 pm

Why the Glamberts are defending Adam? He made a mistake. No harm in admitting it. AMA was a golden opportunity for him to prove to the the people outside AI how good he is as a singer. He is not Medona or Elvis yet. Its a mistake and if he and his fans realise this and move ahead it will be good for his career. I hope he won’t do the same thing on CBS. He should sing for his life and show the world how great he is as a upcoming artist.

samy on November 24, 2009 at 3:09 pm

It appears that Adam’s problem is he doesn’t know that he isn’t yet a superstar. He’s catering to a small niche of fans who think vulgar is cool. Too bad he wasn’t a little more business savy. Ostracizing a huge portion of your fans (or potential fans) “just because you can” is not smart. This has nothing to do with being gay – it’s about being vulgar. And yes, simulating a BJ on tv is vulgar whether you are gay, hetero, male or female. It’s too bad he didn’t take the classy route – he has the voice and personality for greatness. I think he did himself in on this one.

Jennings on November 24, 2009 at 3:39 pm

GOOD FOR CBS! Adam is SO RIGHT when he talks about a double standard. When Brit and Madonna lip locked wooooooooooooooo that was hot and shocking and no one complained, we’ve all scene and heard about rap artists practically dry humping w/ fans on stage…….. when Adam kissed a guy on stage, quick lets everyone damn him for it????? UH…….not! Granted, I WILL say that grabbing the guys head and shoving it into his crotch simulating oral sex was a bit much for the AMA’s. I wouldn’t want my 13 yr old watching that, but for me personally, I thought his performance was hot, he was hot, the song is hot hot hot!!! Was he entertaining? HELL YEAH! Controversial? HELL YEAH! Will it hurt his sales, HELL NO!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Can’t wait to download his songs onto my ipod!

“…Ostracizing a huge portion of your fans (or potential fans) “just because you can” is not smart… ”

the same could also be said for american idol contestant blog sites!

Mandy on November 24, 2009 at 4:07 pm

I think he went a bit further than Brittany and Madonna. I wonder if the whole ABC network will shut him out. Three major networks left too piss off, then he’ll be on cable.

violet4ever on November 24, 2009 at 4:19 pm

Hahaha! At least GMA has good taste to not put mAdam Lambert in their show. Adam isn’t a good singer at all and thats why they are selling his able for 3 cents and a piece of gum

fala on November 24, 2009 at 5:41 pm

GMA – YAWN. Who cares what they do? Does anyone even watch those morning shows anymore? The only one who will suffer from the cancellation is GMA – not adam. Sure – GMA has a LOT of explaining to do to all those ADAM fans who woke up before the crack of dawn to be there. They will NOT be mad at Adam. They will be mad at GMA – but again… WHO CARES. GMA has sucked for years!

DJ Jayito on November 24, 2009 at 5:55 pm

VIOLET… They hired ADAM for the AMAs because his performances bring viewers. They didn’t hire Kris, because they knew it wouldn’t bring in viewers. The fact Adam went overboard is a shame, but in reality, it wasn’t as big a deal as everyone keeps saying. It was a bit too far, yes, but not the end of the world.

DJ Jayito on November 24, 2009 at 5:57 pm

Just wondering do the glamberts want the same AMA type performence from Adam on CBS?

samy on November 24, 2009 at 6:03 pm

i really dont get why there was such an uproar in the first place. i recall seeing a sketch on MADtv, in the 90’s mind you, where Michael McDonald grabbed anyone who said or did something innocent that could be portrayed as slightly suggestive and continued to move their head towards him suggesting a sex act. to their credit, it was funny. i dont remember this getting all over the media. was it because it was aired late? that was probably, maybe half of it. the show could be vulgar but it was still aired and no one complained because it was funny.

adam and his dancers practice this elaborate performance and he gets banned from a show? he didnt do his best, but he DID entertain. so what if he kissed a dude? girls kiss all the time in the media and it’s like it’s socially acceptable.

he’s openly gay and even so, the whole performance was still just that. an act. he leveled the playing field on the sociable acceptance of provocativeness between men and women. there’s no problem. people just want to make it a problem.

people are saying “oh i dont want me kids to see that!” and yet watching britney spears dance like a stripper and rappers dry hump practically naked women in rap videos is perfectly fine to your child’s growth and mind frame. 13 year old girls wont wanna start dressing and dancing slutty at all from that noo… please allow me to barf now.

the limitations of growing process of the human perspective will ever continue to perplex me.

Post #25 Jennings: I totally agree with what you said. What is sad is that many here seem to think that the vulgarity is a-okay. Count me out on that one. Talent wins out any day of the week. You don’t see Daughtry, Underwood, Cook, Archuleta, Buble, on and on, doing that kind of stuff. They don’t need to. For some reason, Adam feels that it is his right and okay to act anyway that you want to act. Go for it, Adam. As you said, by doing so, you are alienating mainstream America…They buy CD’s, too.

My husband was a big fan. I really liked Adam on AI. I was going to buy the CD. I won’t now.

I’m not a prude, either. I believe that there is a time and place for everything. That was neither the time nor the place.

Kris Allen’s album debuts at #10. No exact numbers yet, but less than 100,000 copies.

Kris Allen’s album sold 84,846 copies in its first week.

I guess these numbers are still predictions.

PA on November 24, 2009 at 6:40 pm

I think everyone needs to remember that Adam’s background is in musical theater. It was a performance that, in hindsight, definitely pushed the boundaries… but I think people that want to label him as a pervert don’t know him, haven’t seen his interviews or interviews of those who know him well… and definitely don’t know how talented he really is. Google Adam Lambert “is anybody listening.” He’s a performer and I think people need to seriously lighten up!

Mandy on November 24, 2009 at 6:54 pm
42

they are likely the ACCURATE #s, because the first week sales are for TUESDAY – MONDAY. Today is Tuesday, so 80,000+ is probably the accurate number. That’s got to be the LOWEST by a bunch!

My only question is…why? Why would they want him and why do any of us care?

Paula on November 24, 2009 at 7:20 pm

WAIT WAIT WAIT… Are you putting Archuleta before Lambert!? BIG MISTAKE! You watch what Archie’s second CD does. It won’t be much! I’d guess… Less than 200,000 copies (and that’s a stretch) will be sold. YOU WATCH! The Christmas CD is not the second CD, btw. I’m talking about his second CD. Even Jordin won’t sell 200,000 copies on her second CD. Adam. Who knows, but the first will – I BET ANYTHING – outsell Archie’s debut CD. If there’s a platinum record in season 8, it’s Lambert. No one else could sell 1,000,000 records.

I’m also gonna GUESTIMATE that Kris won’t even go gold. He’ll top out around 400,000 TOPS – MY GUESS! I’d be shocked if he breaks 400,000.

DJ Jayito on November 24, 2009 at 7:22 pm
46

Too early to gloat. Let’s wait until we have the first estimates on Adam’s album sales. He would have to sell more than 800,000 copies to outsell Archuleta’s debut. Maybe he will.

PA on November 24, 2009 at 7:30 pm
47

Daughtry’s and Kelly’s latest albums have sold a little over 700,000 copies, and Kelly’s album included several hit singles. Maybe Adam will do better, maybe not.

PA on November 24, 2009 at 7:34 pm
48

I am very aware of how many copies Archie sold. I was an Archie fan. Felt he should’ve won. Truth remains. He hasn’t yet sold 800,000. Close, but not yet. I’m BANKING on Adam being the season 8 platinum record. There is always (at least) 1.

DJ Jayito on November 24, 2009 at 7:57 pm

Some of us are bunch of hypocrites and homophobics…and, well, just plain haters. Look back people, what Adam did has been done over and over again. It’s called entertainment! Take it or leave it.

Putri on November 24, 2009 at 7:57 pm

And. Yes – Daughtry has sold just over 700,000, but that is a biggest DROP from CD to CD in idol history. Also. Here the reviews have been SUB-PAR – at best. I loved his first CD. HATE the second.

DJ Jayito on November 24, 2009 at 7:58 pm

YUP! Agree Putri.

this is terrible. all the fans that came to nyc and spent shitloads of money, time and energy (like myself) to see Adam now don’t get to see him perform…because apparently he’s performing inside. ugh im disgusted with ABC right now

SUPERSHOPPER: Hate to tell you this but Adam has lots of talent. And who cares if you don’t buy his album. I bought two already for Christmas presents and will buy the one you won’t buy.

The man is just too full of himself.

Adam was not sexy on AMA. It was not provocative or daring or fun or any of that. I really liked Adam before, but now I don’t care about him. I would not pay even .99 cents to download his new album.

brucella on November 24, 2009 at 11:49 pm
57

What he did was not “art”. It was vulgar. Glad ABC dropped his ass. CBS just wanted him because of the controversy and maybe it would help their #3 morning show ratings. He sounds like his ego has gotten the best of him in his post AMA interviews. Sorry Adam. You are too full of yourself and will alienate many of the fans that put you where you are. You are not a “superstar” and the way you are going, you will never be. You claim to not want to be the “posterchild” for the gay community then you flaunt it on network TV. You can’t have it both ways. You say you want it to be about the music, then you put on a trashy, vulgar “performance” (and I use that term loosely) and say “shock is fun”. Well get over
yourself and remember where you came from. I bet your parents are real proud of you now.

Sammy on November 25, 2009 at 1:27 am

His mom is very proud of him, as witnessed on the CBS Morning Show. Some of you say Adam is becoming arrogant and big headed. Not true, he is simply very confident in himself and his beliefs, and is brave enough to stand up for his beliefs. The AMA show wasn’t his best performance, but he redeemed himself very well on the CBS Morning Show.
