Hey
adam,
Here I sit listening to your album. I am an old grandma lady who loved you on idol. I have no concern over your sexual orientation. But I am disappointed in your performance on ama. My three grandsons adore you. Mom let them stay up to watch. Much to her dismay she did not plan on having them get an instruction video on oral sex. Now we have to be afraid to let them watch you. This is not the way it should be. You are a fantastic singer. I had not been so excited by anyone in years. I believe you would have gotten your target audience community anyway however you are in danger of losing fans like us. You want to be accepted for who you are. I think all you did was alienate an audience who might have opened up to something different if you gently integrated your personna not banged us over the head with it. I get it you're gay and a wild child. But you seem to forget that you are an incredibled singer and some of us appreciate that and don't need all the other stuff. My nine year old grandson cried when you lost on Idol. You have the right to do whatever you want but I have the right to be disapponted.
Howder

So GMA cancelled Adam's concert...it's their loss. Guess I won't be watching their show anymore....

I am tired of the double standard....would they have cancelled a Madonna or Britney concert after their performances? Or Janet after hers (Superbowl), or any Rapper's performance? It's just the double standard that Hollywood/Society/Media has regarding this type of thing. It's okay for two chicks to go at it but never two men....granted the whole AMA Award show was a disappointment (including Janet and her crotch grabbing, sexual simulations, M&M and 50cent doing their crotch grabbing and insulting comments against women), but DO NOT throw stones when you can sit and watch that. Adam did nothing more insulting than what other men and women have been doing for years!

so what if he was canceled on GMA. He's gonna be on the Early Show. (: GOOD FOR HIM. Just more press <3 f**k ABC , they discriminate people. WE LOVE YOU ADAM.

Please see my article and share your thoughts. We can always send GMA the link after.

I will always love and support Adam I'm a 58 year old woman who watched Ama awards for the first time, because of Adam.I've been very upset today,not because of Adam perfromance, it's always a joy to see his amazing talents ,I love everything he's ever done.What made me cry was I knew a lot of people only see a box as(black and white), Will never see any shades of gray. Heaven forbid if someone is different, that would be unforgiving. What was so hurtful and very suprisng are the fans who said they love Adam incredible voice, and amazing unique talents.Then decide to bail on him because they are disappointed and so disgusted with his perfromance.It never mattered to me that he's gay, or different. What only matter is that he has voice like I never heard in years, and he's very sexy,exciting, and his talent is spellbinding. One thing I know for sure he is still the guy who we couldn't wait ot see what he would do next each week on idol.I only watched because of him.He's still the same nice talented guy we saw each week I recieved my cd today, it's wonderful and amazing.

I loved you on AI, Adam, but last night's performance on the AMAs left a lot to be desired. I was embarrassed for you. The clearly homosexual inuendos were so not needed. You have a great voice and should focus on that--not your homosexuality. I can't believe Paula, Randy, Simon, Ryan, or your parents could have been proud of that performance. You have great talent, but this type of behavior is unacceptable.

Adam, I love who you are and that definitely hasn't changed since yesterday. Just like I don't have to please everyone all the time you don't have to please me all the time, like any artist you can choose what to do and I can choose to like it or not... that is what art is! The most annoying thing to me regarding the fallout over your AMA performance is this sense of entitlement from people, particularly AI fans, that you are obligated to please them as if they own you.... and somehow this sense of entitlement also extends to their children. What you did was shocking, but no more then a lot of stuff that has already been on that show but people have put so much energy on you to be what they want you to be... well guess what? This is you. I've seen your Zodiac Club stuff (love it!!) and I certainly don't need you pandering to Joe Bag O'Donuts America all sanitized for my protection...... I love you in all your sexy, outrageous, talented, passionate glory! I have been far more offended by American beer commercials than I ever could be by your AMA performance... and because I too am a very positive-vibe type of soul I look to the bright side of this whole thing..... less kids and mommies going to your shows mean a better chance for me to score front row seats!! Lots of love and support to you..... your album rocks! Can't wait to see you on GMA, Letterman and Ellen though I haven't owned a TV in eleven years.... thank the gods for You Tube! And thank you for all that you do.

With all due respect, were some of you watching the AMA's? I would not have minded the performance at all, had Adam not taken another person and gyrated their face in his crotch. Adam has many followers and many are young people who do not need to have this type of explicite sexual behavior in their face on a awards show. If he wants to do a video or a club performance, fine....but this should not have been on a broadcast for national TV.
There are no bigger fans then the ones in my household. We have photos of Adam even as our screensavers.
But he is way too talented to push the bar to this extent.....he doesnt need to have that much of a shock factor. And he needs to realize that much of his fan base is in the younger crowd. If he is going to do shows like this, please save it for the private clubs or for videos to purchase.
I am trying to raise my kids in a healthy environment, and this really turned us all off.
I wish you only the best Adam and we will all still be your biggest fans, but not of last night's performance. We are just hoping it was a one and only and you learned from this mistake....we look forward to hearing more of your beautiful voice and wonderful showmanship.
Your new CD is beautiful, I already have 3 copies in my house!

Hey Adam,

Absolutely love you - thought you were great on the American Music Awards - best part was that it was not what I expected at all - have to say that if you brought the same thing to everything that you did - we would probably get bored of you easily - you are unique - truly one of a kind and not afraid to be who you are - think that people sometimes forget that you are an artist and that they are watching a performance - you brought your song to life as it was meant to be - and I was indeed entertained! Truly hope that you will tour in Canada but if not will definitely travel to the US to see you! Looking forward to seeing what you will do on GMA!

All the best to you always!

I want to know what happend all those people that loved Adam when he proclaimed that everything is love and that you accept people for what they are? Now when he does something that may not fit in your mold that you created for him in your head it seems those same people are the first to fire back. I say shame on you! Everybody is entitled to their own opinion but judging him on what you may or may not consider appropriate doesn't seem very loving or accepting. Reading some comments it seemed there was so much negativity that I needed to say something about love. So Adam, I am proud to be called your fan and I love that you are pushing the envelope! I ACCEPT YOU FOR YOU! You are making people think and opening minds-whether they know it now or not. In the end it is (your quote) "not that deep". Keep following your path, being yourself and as always the universe is going to take good care of you. Continue to light the way!

Sending you much love and positive energy...
With many smiles =)=)=)=)=)

Cameo

Awesome performance on the AMA's--it was sexy, provacative, and electrifying. Your vocals were gorgeous. The choreography, I suspect, reflects your theater background and was well-matched with the song. You accomplished what few performers are able to do anymore, which is to keep people talking the next day!

The worst thing that can happen to any of us in the entertainment biz, whatever the genre, is to have the audience say, "That was nice" and promptly forget about it. A 50/50 split of heated opinion means you've done it right. You've stirred the pot, gotten people's attention, and that's a great thing, and a difficult thing, to do.

As for the self-dubbed former "huge" fans who are giving you a hard time but haven't bothered to learn your musical influences you've talked about and don't even sign their name? Hit the delete key with a smile. They aren't your audience. Your audience is right here, eagerly waiting for more.

Not my favorite performance of yours Adam, last night on the AMAs, because your vocals were so OFF! Perhaps it was a combination of things that resulted in your beautiful voice just not being it's usual greatness. All the dancing on stage was a distraction for me and I have had to watch it several times to appreciate it for what it was. But, still, where was your beautiful voice?????

That said....I was surprised, not shocked, by the graphic-ness of the performance; re-watching it I actually like it better and think I get what you were doing. It's funny what turns people off, isn't it? I am much more upset about you giving "us" the finger than by the sexual displays. I get that the performance emulated the words of the song and while my mouth dropped when I saw that guy at your crotch, I laughed afterwards. But why the angry face and the finger? Was that a f* you to us? to who?

As long as you get that you MIGHT turn off many people who could help propel you to being a huge STAR, that's what is important. If YOU don't care about turning off potential fans, then why should we? It's your career, your music, your life. We just have the priviledge of having you entertain us, and for those of us that "get it" .......yipee for us!!!

btw....anytime to you want to suck face with me on stage, I am all yours!!

I am a middle-aged conservative female.........an unlikely Adam Lambert fan. But I had to concede throughout AI last season that he was the best!! Adam - please don't allienate us - there are many of us out here!! We were shocked and disgusted with your performance at AMA! We have teenagers that love you too. Please, show us your talent (because you have an abundance)...you do not have to stoop to being vulgar for success! Bring us back...please!

Adam, we were such fans of yours on American Idol, we wanted you to win, thought you should have won, but I have to say your performance last night was so inappropiate and so disappointing! We had taped the music awards so that our 12 year old and 10 1/2 year old would be able to see your performance, and instead I had to break the news to them they would not be able to watch it because it was so inappropiate in many, many ways! We also had to tell my 12 year old he could not purchase your new album as he was planning to do today due to your behavior last night.

Adam, God blessed you with amazing gifts and talents, and unfortunately you chose not to showcase those gifts last night. You have an amazing voice and I don't understand why you would choose to not let that be what people remembered the most about your performance.

Sincerely disappointed and saddened!

Adam is a grown man - he can handle some constructive criticism. No one that I've read here, including my own post, is doubting his mad vocal skills - just questioning his performance last night. People, in general, really want him to succeed because he's an awesome singer. He sang circles around the other AI contestants.

Maybe I'm going to sound like an "old-timer" here, but most of the performances last night on the AMA's were more theatrical performances. When did it suddenly become all about who can create the biggest on-stage extravaganza and not be about the singing and the singer? What is so wrong with just an artist on-stage singing? It just seems that it's not about the music anymore - it's about having a huge stage production and the music gets lost most of the time in the other crap. Have our attention spans gotten so short that we cannot simply enjoy an excellent singer performing some really good music or do we need all the fancy sets, transformers, ridiculous dancers, and lipsyncing (yes, Brittany Spears - I mean you).

While I love Adam's extraordinary vocal skills and will buy his CD today, last night just left me feeling disappointed, not with just his performance, but several others as well. In my opinion, the one who stole the show last night was Kelly Clarkson's performance - and I generally don't even care for her at all. It was raw, beautiful, and had impact without all the fluff.

Dearest Adam--PLEASE don't let the spectacle dominate the vocals like it did last night!!!

You are so right when you say that the girls (like Britney & Madonna) have been doing this for years but that's because they HAVE TO--neither one can sing their way out of a paper bag so they use drama to camouflage their weak vocals.

YOU HAVE THE GREATEST VOCALS EVER---right up there with Whitney & Streisand and Aretha and Patti. Let us hear YOU, and then let the spectacle be secondary--your voice alone can change the world!!!

Adam: I am a 69 year old Grandmother and I thought you were great! It was what I hoped for. Thank you for being so brave and being yourself. I have 2 albums on the way from Amazon. I loved everything about it. It fit the words of the song so well. I don't understand why people are shocked. Rappers and female Artists have been doing it for years. At the haters need to get a life!

Having "guts" is not letting it all hang out no matter the circumstances. That's merely self-indulgence. "Guts" is having self-control over urges inappropriate for the moment in order to respect those watching.

I don't get what it is people are making such a drama about.. I mean, ok maybe it was a little over the top but isn't that what Adam is about?
I think it fitted the song quite well. I saw the clip and I thought: yeah this is Adam, a little over the top, great vocals, awsome look (as always). I was more shocked by the comments than by the clip itself.. All this negative comment because Adam did something unusual, I really don't get it..
His performance didn't surprise me at all, it was a little rough but oh so great. Adam, I still love who you are (maybe even more than before ), don't ever change who you are.
big kiss xx

I don't know what everyone is so up and arms about. I think you rocked!
You put life into a typical awards show, you were defiant, sexy, and YOU.
Yes, you did what most people don't have the guts to do. You did YOU.
BRAVO! You remind me so much of Freddie Mercury! You really ARE my new HERO! LOVED EVERY SECOND OF YOUR PERFORMANCE!
xoxo

I am so disappointed in Adam's performance at the AMA's last night. Where was that incredible voice? Simply put, his performance was self-indulgent garbage. Adam, I was one of your biggest fans -- couldn't wait for Tuesday nights -- recorded every performance. You made me cry, made me laugh -- made me happy. I celebrated your uniqueness, loved your dramatic, theatrical approach, appreciated the heart-felt, intelligent way in which you express yourself and loved your almost ornery way of pushing the envelope. But, YOU HAVE GONE TOO FAR. I want to be proud to be a fan and right now, I am not. Last night, you did your career an horrible disservice. Somewhere along the line, you decided you need to shock people to bring attention to yourself. With a voice such as yours and your ability to really reach people, YOU DON'T NEED TO DO THAT. Only people who don't possess true talent need to do that. I ordered your CD and booklet and was thrilled when they arrived. But now that happiness is overshadowed by disappointment. You have a gift that could catapult you to superstardom. But maybe that's not what you want? If you do, then you truly need some help with your image because you're going to lose the fans who love you the most if you don't and your career will be over before it begins.

Adam.... please understand that your phenomenal appeal is based on your vocal talent... and your appearance. You don't have to do anything but stand there and sing. The visual effects are built in. Dancing is okay but no "antics" are needed. For the most part they just detract from the aura that is you.

Are you trying to prove Gene Simmons was right??
Time for image control.
