All I could keep thinking of, is I sure hope that floor was clean since everyone seems to spend a lot of time rollling around on it! LOL.

LOL.... The whole show was raunchy and most of the performers/attendees pushed (and always have) the envelope on attire, lyrics, performance. Don't blame it all on Adam. What about GaGga & Rhianna?? What's good for the goose...
Any worse than Fergi, Madonna in her day? Britney gyrating against any of her boy toy background toys? There is only SEX in today's music. Desperate, disgusting sexual acts.
I to (was) an Adam Lambert fan. Notice ( was )!! Adam has a great talent, it is too bad it has to be wasted on trying shock therapy on the country!!! Nothing much shocks me any more way past that stage of the game but I am thinking of all of our young Americans who thinks this guy is an American Idol.. Not shocking, scary!! It is not his sexuality that is the issue. No matter what gender your partner is there are just some thing that are meant to be left private, or at least left for R rated movies. Not for the world to see!!
I loved what Adam did!!! He has done what he sat out to do..MAKE A NAME FOR HIMSELF....no one will forget Adam Lambert!! I think he was dam SEXY...
WAY TO GO ADAM
Personally, I am so sick of the so called entertainers who only push sex. No wonder we have so many teens pregnant or carrying VD's. This is a great deal of the reason. Their role models let them know it is ok by showing this kind of trash to them. I am ashamed that no one in the entertainment industry has the guts to say enough is enough and this has gone too far. Time to clean up things! This goes for all of them, not just this Adam character.
I can't believe the network let that air.
My kids watched the show last night.. They loved Adam on AI and we all voted for him. But he crossed the line in his performance..
I feel that he really made a poor choice and I have lost a lot of respect for him.
This just proves that people will do anything for money. ANYTHING. He stopped just short of actually having sex on stage. This so called type of entertainment belongs in some sleaze ball club. Not as entertainment for our youth. I know some will say, "change the channel". I certainly would. I would boycott this show for sure. God must be pretty disgusted by now. Even His patience must have been pushed to the limits. Things are only going to get worse. That show would have fit in good with Sodom and Gomorrah.
I simply loved and enjoyed it!!! He wasnt out of the box, IF MaDonna would have done thing nothing much would have been said.... I never watch AI didnt know who the heck he was, i saw on The View and was hooked on him and his wonderful daring moves. LOVE LOVE the song, but then again the song wont appeal to everyone.. If he loses fans he will gain new ones like me!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I HOPE he keeps true to who he is..... Doesnt the network know whats happening on the show before it starts ???? yes they did........... love him
Time was when they would put someone in jail for acting like that on TV. We need to get back to those days. I would see NOTHING wrong with putting that guy in jail!!
His singing sucked, the entire performance sucked, and there was nothing even remotely sexual about the performance.
I love how it's ok for female performers to do stuff like this, but when a male does it...o no! It's controversial! I thought it was awesome and he's got one hell of a voice!
I say Kudos to CBS for allowing Adam to speak for himself and to perform this morning. He made some very valid points. While I agree he went overboard he shouldn't be boycotted for it. He made a mistake which he said he was in the moment and he is learning. He is an amazingly talented guy and I will remain a supporter of his career.
No longer a fan of Adam Lambert. I am 44 yrs of age and enjoyed the American Idol last season and the music performance by Mr. Lambert. My 14 yr old daughter and I saw the Idols perform in Memphis and was impressed with the show.....and THAT Adam Lambert. Even my daughter thought the performance last night went off the deep end. If that is what Mr. Lambert is going to provide us with going forward....then he will do it with out my money and my daughters support.

I so agree Kevin. I enjoyed him on Idol - well, was tolerant of him. This is intolorable. Makes me never, ever want to watch or hear his scream again. Done with him.
Good for you Kevin! I applaud your honesty & integrity. You have no one to answer to but yourself regarding what you think is appropriate. I think you are setting a wonderful example for your daughter. I too was an Adam fan. He is very talented and I am sorry to see him resort to this type of showmanship.
I totally agree. My favorite performances were the soft ballads and he would do good doing classic Elvis. This is pure crap that he is putting out now. God blessed him with a beautiful voice now I just hope God can forgive him for using the way he is.
Thanks for saying what I too feel. My problem with that performance had nothing to do with "gayness." It had to do with lewdness. These hot young stars develope a very YOUNG YOUNG fan base early in their careers, then turn into total skanks. Do any of them ever stop to think that their main audience (or, more importantly, the ones buying music) are CHILDREN? I was also a fan of Adam's on A.I. but no more. Glad my kids didn't see that, we watched Sunday Night Football instead.
Kevin, way to man. I agree with you 100%
