It’s sad what the music industry has come to
Posted By The Nude Nerd on November 22, 2009
If you haven’t seen it yet, Adam Lambert performed tonight as the final act for the American Music Awards. I have to say – it’s quite disgusting what they let musicians do these days. Don’t get me wrong – I’m no ultra-conservative. I think America does need to “lighten up” when it comes to sexual stuff in the media. How is it OK that we let our kids go watch movies or play video games with tons of violence (a la Modern Warfare 2) but one little nipple and people are up in arms?
Anyways, Adam Lambert’s performance was just… ugg. I know I’m probably going to his fans up in arms but really… I’ve already seen people praising this craptastic junk. I didn’t like him in American Idol and now I have even less respect. His voice was utter crap, off-key in many spots. Then the actual show… he DRAGGED a woman across the stage? Yes, let’s get back to where we are degrading women… way to go AMA’s. Then he has a chain linked to two guys crawling around like dogs, followed by some hip thrusts with his crotch in one guy’s face??? Shortly after, a dancer wrapped her arm around his leg and literally had her hands right on his crotch. When the hell did it become OK to do this type of stuff on a live performance that is nationally televised?
I couldn’t care less that he kissed a guy during the performance – he’s gay and just showing off, imo. It’s no bigger a deal than the Britney/Madonna kiss… it’s showbiz and gets them attention. But come on people… this type of stuff is really getting out of hand. I really hope there weren’t many kids watching this. Honestly, what has happened to the classy musicians?

Sad thing is there is a few second delay before it airs nowadays because of nip slips. So all this made it past a censor before hitting the air.
I have attempted to watch the Adam Lambert performance, but oddly it is unavailable anywhere it seems? Now I understand the copyright issues, but I have to agree his performance was out of control…I mean people claim that female singers have been pushing the envelope, but from what I have heard…he just ripped the envelope into pieces! His male on male demo on stage was way to much…there is many things he could have done to illustrate the same point with all of the craziness!
