Adam Lambert Says Gay Kiss At AMAs Was Unplanned
Posted by Mitch Michaels on 11.23.2009
This was definitely NOT a stunt to promote his new album that came out today...
Last night, Adam Lambert closed out the American Music Awards with a performance of the title track from his new album, For Your Entertainment, which hit stores today. During the song, Lambert kissed his male keyboard player.
ABC editors did not remove any of Lambert's performance for the later broadcast - the show teased Lambert's "outrageous performance" before it happened. Still, some are calling the kiss shocking.
"I do feel like there's a bit of a double standard in the entertainment community, on television, on radio," Lambert said. "I feel like women performers have been pushing the envelope, especially, for the past 20 years. And all of the sudden a male does it and everybody goes 'Oh, we can't show that on TV.' For me, that's a form of discrimination and a double standard. And that's too bad."
Lambert said it was "in the moment. Part of what I love about being a live performer is that sometimes you just are in the moment and sometimes things just happen. Adrenaline is a crazy, crazy, crazy feeling. Some of the things I love most about performing is when you're up there and all of the sudden you just have these feelings, this rush that comes over you."
