After an overly vulgar and provocative performance at the American Music Awards a few days ago, sexy rocker Adam Lambert received many criticisms, including complaints from his father.
At the American Music Awards ceremony held on November 23, Adam Lambert, runner-up of the American music idol competition, was chosen as the closing performer of the 2009 American Music Awards. The 27-year-old star performed his new song For Your Entertainment in a… shocking style. This male singer is not afraid to act out scenes of “sex” and same-sex kissing right in front of millions of television viewers.
After this performance, Adam Lambert became a “hot” name that attracted the attention of the American press. He received a lot of criticism for his performance being too “heavy” and ABC even canceled plans to invite Adam to perform on Good Morning America at the last minute.
In an interview on Ellen DeGeneres’ show on December 1, Adam Lambert admitted that his father also did not like his too provocative performance that day.
“My dad behaved like: “Please say sorry to everyone, Adam” and I wanted to say: “Dad, I didn’t do anything wrong, everyone has their own standards about everything.”
Talking about the shocking performance, Adam Lambert affirmed: “My whole dance crew and I had a good time. I don’t think I was being rude or insulting people, I never wanted to do that. It’s just because the image of gay men on television has always been very gentle and “safe”, so when I do it a little “too much”, people are surprised.”
“Regarding the gay kiss with the piano player, Tommy Ratliff, I confirm that it was not in the script. I didn’t plan that kiss…it was just a moment of excitement. Tommy wasn’t angry with me after that,” Adam Lambert said.
Regarding ABC’s cancellation of his show, Adam Lambert said: “I think my fans will be sad because they can’t see me perform. That was ABC’s decision, I’m not sad or angry with them. I’m an artist, I like creative freedom and I hope people see my performance as just fun and entertainment, not too serious.”
Adam Lambert has just released his debut album titled For Your Entertainment, this album sold 225,000 copies in the first week of release and is a number that makes Adam Lambert’s producer quite satisfied.
