Adam Lambert's AMA Performance

[newfoundmichael]

Lolwut?

[Ava1anche]

His performance sucked. I only watched it to see LP drumming, which they barely even showed. I still don't understand why he would want to drum for Adam Lambert.

[ate_teenfourevr]

can someone explain what happened? i heard something about a kiss???

[3eb23]

that.... was ridiculous

[llwilliamsll]

Explanations usually help for those who did not see it.

[GuitarGuy]

^Agreed. I didn't watch the Awards Show and it'd be nice to know what happened...

Sorry about that. A link was going to follow my comment, but I can't find one yet. Basically he flaunted around on stage while pushing a guy's face into his crotch three or four times. Stuck his hand around a woman's crotch, and made out with a guy all within a matter of 2/3 minutes. It was quite a site.

He looks like an anime character. That kisses dudes.

In other news, I hate awards shows and Adam Lambert. He can sing, but who really cares.

bahahaha,

don't fall asleep...or he'll perform on your colon!

[Mandee, darling]

wow.

[HometownHero]

Well if you removed your head from your ass you would see that LP is a musician. A drummer. And doing what he loves for someone that could collectively get him some money, because you know he is a person, he can play to huge crowds that Yellowcard was not capable of drawing, and have a great time . But yeah I don't get it either

[gr33ndayfr3ak]

That was ridiculous..at least he can sing.

He reminds me of a male version of Lady Gaga.

While I don't agree with the tone you wrote this in, I will at least agree that LP is probably drumming for Adam Lambert to pay the bills. Drumming seems to be his passion, and if he can get paid a substantial amount more to drum then why not do it? Even if it is for an artist like Adam Lambert.

[Machu505]

I went through this entire thread thinking this was about Adam Lazzara. Hahaha.

[underdawg1119]

It's still a mindfuck to me that LP is in his band.

An artist like Adam Lambert? A dude with fucking amazing pipes? And stage presence?

[3eb23]

yeah it is. i forgot during the performance. there was no connect there for me.

that was some stage presence right there

[sodamnclever]

If they would collaborate, now that would be something.


The performance didn't really surprise it was getting hype throughout the whole night and I assumed it was going to be something along what actually happened.

[newfoundmichael]

An artist like Adam Lambert? A dude with fucking amazing pipes? And stage presence?

My point wasn't that Lambert can't sing or doesn't have stage presence. He is obviously an extraordinary singer, and he has great presence on stage. Maybe I shouldn't have used the word "artist" in my post. My point is that being in a band that started from the ground up to build a fan base then leaving that band to bank in is usually looked at as "selling out". I was merely defending LP's decision to go from a respected pop-punk band to drumming for a glam-rock diva like Adam Lambert. We don't know the situation on how he left Yellowcard, but he is a talented drummer and went where he could make some cash to do what he loved. I just don't see a problem with that.

[HometownHero]

Yellowcard has not done anything in forever. So he obviously had to pay the bills

[newfoundmichael]

Which is my point. People were just talking about how bummed they were he was doing this, and in previous threads were calling him a sellout.

[kearn1tm]

Prince could have made this work.

[Eric_Courtney]

Absolutely Awfulll!!! He Needs To Stop Now!

[HometownHero]

Which is my point. People were just talking about how bummed they were he was doing this, and in previous threads were calling him a sellout.
Thats what annoys me. People that act like they know the dude on a personal level. None of us do. Sell out is just a stupid phrase.

[zubinmoosa]

:rotfl: at that GIF

[HometownHero]

Absolutely Awfulll!!! He Needs To Stop Now!
Yeah Bro!!! You Know It!!!

[Eric_Courtney]

He was just trying toooo hard. Your voice sounding good is way more important than french kissing the leopard-haired synth player.

Same with Britney and Madonna. Pop stars eat that shit up and love making a huge grand statement. See: Lady Gaga

terrible performance..

You can't go around skullfucking dudes on national television.

Stooge just set the gay rights movement back 40 years.

The world doesn't operate on my standards of decency, unfortunately. There was an uproar about it at the time of the incident though.

[caveBEAR]

People flipped their shit when that happened. As well, people who flip their shit over situations like this probably will be even more outraged my a man play-skullfucking another dude than two women kissing. Shitty double-standard, but any homophobia is shitty.

[Confesshh]

Prince could have made this work.


Amen

[HometownHero]

But it was talked about. As planned. Just like this. The day before his album release. Dude wants sales

[aerofan11]

Impressive voice, too bad the song sucks (in my opinion).

[Justin_stacy]

Well he just threw it in the face of everyone who said he was a talent after american idol.

[DejaNew]

What the fuck. That was even worse than any of Lady Gaga's performances.

[Idealist80]

Well if you removed your head from your ass you would see that LP is a musician. A drummer. And doing what he loves for someone that could collectively get him some money, because you know he is a person, he can play to huge crowds that Yellowcard was not capable of drawing, and have a great time . But yeah I don't get it either

You should probably remove yours too considering YC has played in front of huge crowds.

[Jason Tate]

carybrothers (http://twitter.com/carybrothers)
pretty sure i just saw the idol kid getting fake-blown and then making out with a dude on abc. nice and shock-y fun. too bad the song sucks

This.

[Jason Tate]

:rotfl:

[cirerelleum]

He definately got shit on by Lady GaGa. Her performance was actually good.

[skyphoenix]

I was excited for his performance but it didn't deliver. Too much shock value for the sake of being shock value and you could predict it was going to happen with the way ABC was hyping it up as something you would talk about the next day. Seems like it's true as it's being talked about everywhere. His vocals were off because of how active he had to be. Love the album though.

[anthonydarko]

I'm at a loss for words.

[mulcahy67]

i miss the times when shock value wasn't about being gay.

[Auals]

He definately got shit on by Lady GaGa. Her performance was actually good.

I hate lady gaga, but her performances shit on everyone elses performances. She is ACTUALLY entertaining.

[fadedmemories]

http://i48.tinypic.com/2miati.gif
My mind is officially blown

[Until The Bombs]

Such a blatant publicity stunt. Instead dude's hiding behind the "in was in the moment" excuse with the knowledge that calling him out is a double standard. Which he'd be right on, but still doesn't change the fact that he couldn't let the music speak for itself.

[Ferzaer]

wow

[Uwe Blab]

I don't even think his voice sounds good.

[Yellowcard2006]

Yellowcard has not done anything in forever. So he obviously had to pay the bills
He should be drumming in Big If and being poor like Ryan. C'mon it's all about the music maaaan.

[songydarko]

Definitely nothing I've seen before...

[kemichels]

That song was horrible.

[s.t.e.v.e.n.]

A fitting end for the show.

[xJesusFreakx]

This performance just goes to show that even "shock value" can be stock, lifeless, and uninteresting.

[Bruised26]

That was DISGUSTING when he pushed that dudes head into his balls...
Adam has talent, but this performance was a bit too much.

[Bruised26]

Jeffree Starr + Dying Cat = Adam Lambert

LP left Yellowcard a long time ago, hence their final tour being acoustic. He's been in a couple of other bands since, but agreed, I wouldn't call it selling out, as much as a smart decision. Dude's a drummer at heart...he's gonna do what he loves, and if he can make bank doing it, more power to him.

[Ava1anche]

Really, he is a musician, a drummer? No way. I never knew that. All I'm saying is that when you have the skills that he has, I don't understand why you would want to play for a solo musician like that, when you could easily play for any band that needs a drummer.

Adam Lambert's $$$$

[TangledUp]

Adam Lambert is... so nasty.

[SomedayTheFire]

If a girl did it it would be fine :shrug: but because he's a gay man it's 'nasty' and 'shocking.' Such bullshit.

[Bruised26]

No.
This isn't an issue about who's against gays or not.. His performance was just too much and what he did was unecessary. I support gays and I will still say that he was nasty.

[SomedayTheFire]

No.
This isn't an issue about who's against gays or not.. His performance was just too much and what he did was unecessary. I support gays and I will still say that he was nasty.I'm not defending him, what he did was deplorable and inexcusable . Bu imo there would not be this much controversy if it were a female rather than a gay male.

[Eric_Courtney]

did you listen to or watch the performance. it was god awful. his tone sucked. most likely because too busy trying to walk a man with a leash around his neck.

[TangledUp]

I'd find it nasty - and have - when girls have done similar things on stage. Adam is nasty, and not because he's gay.

[Justin_stacy]

I completely agree with him on the kissing, the skull fucking though was too much....along with all the screeching.

As do I, I just think there wouldn't be as much publicity if he wasn't gay.

I think when any celeb is trashy on stage, it gets publicity.

[HometownHero]

:rotfl:
Your opinion is not superior to the worlds

[boxingwithstars]

the only thing that really offended me about his performance was that he was out of tune and screaming at me the whole time.

[Bruised26]

As do I, I just think there wouldn't be as much publicity if he wasn't gay.

if he was Straight, he wouldnt have skullfucked or kissed that man in the first place. His sexuality has nothing to do with it, it's only getting attention because he did something 'edgy' and 'racy.'

[fightinirish217]

Yea, this was bizzare to say the least.

[newfoundmichael]

As do I, I just think there wouldn't be as much publicity if he wasn't gay.

Maybe not as much publicity, but he would still have quite a bit. The guy impressed millions of people on American Idol with his amazing vocal range, and finished runner-up (but definitely should have won). It's a shame the other trashy stuff that has to come along with that.

[SomedayTheFire]

I forgot to put in male there and you never know money makes people do strange things, it's all just a publicity stunt anyway he did it for publicity and he's getting it.

I guess it comes down to geography, over here it's not thought of that much but it's probably different over there.

No doubt I love the man's voice and I get it would have some publicity, but really we've seen it all before except with girls and over here anyway there isn't that much made of it when they do it :shrug:

I agree you've probably seen it all before, but I'm not sure if you know how fast being a final contestant on American Idol can boost your career. It kills me, and I absolutely hate the show, but it is probably the fastest way to the top of pop radio charts possible.

[SomedayTheFire]

Yeah, it's the same over here with show's like X Factor which is another Simon Cowell show.

[newfoundmichael]

Yeah, it's the same over here with show's like X Factor which is another Simon Cowell show.

Yeah it's brutal. I think the idea of finding the best vocalist in a competitive fashion is actually a cool idea for a show. It just gets ruined when it becomes commercialized, advertised, and the grand prize is a million dollar label deal.

[Bruised26]

So I think we have all concluded his performance was beyond strange.. now lets discuss his new album, "For Your Entertainment."

I downloaded it today just out of mere curiosity, and just finished it.. I must say, with the exception of 'Whatya Want From Me', the album was atrocious and sounded like a bad male version of Britney Spears. Utterly unoriginal and disappointing. I don't recommend it unless you wanna listen to a poorly written Dance-pop album

[heregoesnothin]

I think whenever some sort of sexuality is shown between the same sex the public freaks out but then again a geat way to get talked about


remember this?

you're kind to call that screaming....screeching is more true.

[A7XXX]

He kinda sticks his tongue out when he screams which is quite intriguing. With all the attention that past female AI winner get, it's about time a male member be exposed too

[JoeJealousy]

thought the performance was lame.....just keeping it simple

oh and doesnt he look a little like the singer from Aiden?

[RushAndAPush]

He had so much potential.

[mulcahy67]

really sad. i was hoping he'd try to be something more than a boy toy who did stupid shock shit for attention. i mean, the voice is enough for attention, and a lot of people wanted to work with him on his album and stuff, but after listening to it, i dont know why.

[cirerelleum]

I hate lady gaga, but her performances shit on everyone elses performances. She is ACTUALLY entertaining.

Definately. You don't have to be a fan to appreciate the fact that she's a great entertainer.

Ok so... It's ok for Michael Jackson to grab is crotch for 20+ years. But it's not ok for an openly gay male to do the same?
