I watched the American Music Awards last night, but after Adam Lambert's, er, interesting performance at the end of the night, it's hard to recall anything else that happened before that. It's like it's scorched into my memory. And that's definitely not a good thing!
The former American Idol runner-up's performance was downright raunchy in my opinion. Am I being a prude? The guy was grinding people's faces into his crotch area, flipping the bird, and making out with members of the band, while dancers danced around in costumes that looked like they belonged in some S&M fetish club.
Ick. Okay Adam Lambert, we see you. Just please, no more of that.
Other highlights worth talking about:
Lady Gaga's performance was probably the second-most talked about. While performing Speechless from her new album, she smashed glass bottles while straddling a piano bench. And of course, her outfit did not disappoint for our expectations of Gaga's style.
Taylor Swift (man, is she having a great year or what?!) and Michael Jackson were the big winners of the night. Taylor picked up five awards including Artist of the Year and Michael won four awards which brought his total to 25, breaking the previous record set at 23.
While performing Louboutins from her album that drops in January, Jennifer Lopez dropped as well, literally, right on stage. Poor girl. I thought she looked great though!
Did you watch the American Music Awards? What did you think of the winners and performances? What did you think about Adam Lambert's performance?

I'm sorry, but I think that was just gross and nasty!! I can only imagine my teenage children watching that and being influenced by that inappropriate vulgarity. That would make me angry to have my easily impressionable children unexpectedly exposed to such lewd and lascivious, simulated acts of fellatio and more. I think it was a poor act of judgement on the part of the network for airing it.
Aside from the terrible dance moves, it was a terrible song. So disappointed in Adam. I loved him on the show.
What in the world?!? That was awful and totally inappropriate. I'm so disappointed in him.
I have never been a really big fan of Adam mostly cus I am not fond of his singing style other than that it seems to me that we as John Q. Public should've expected Adams performance. No one's image is ever as you see it on AI. I don't think he really ever was keeping his sexuality a secret and it is 2009. We still have choices though, we can either get over it or switch it. Performance was not a big deal for me just weird but in Adam's style so predictable...
Haha It's so fitting for the song though!
"Oh, do you know what you got into?
Can you handle what I'm 'bout to do?
'Cause it's about to get rough for you
I'm here for you entertainment
Oh, I bet you thought that I was soft and sweet
'Ya thought an angel swept you off ya feet
But I'm about to turn up the heat
I'm here for your entertainment"
We all thought he was this great guy on American Idol and thought he was so modest about his talent and amazing.. and then he comes out with this "rough" "entertainment." The only part of this performance I can enjoy is the irony.
I was kind of hoping he would have been more like Freddie Mercury theatrical rock and roll, which is what I thought he best did on American Idol. And instead his song was pop rock watered down crap.
I think he wasn't himself and instead whoever is producing his album steered him in this direction.
To me that was too much sexual stuff in it but it matched with the song though I think. I didn't like it at all I think he is a good singer and everything. I wish it was made more appropriate for everybodys view since I know that young teenagers and kids watch American music awards.
Just...ew.
I'm not gay! REALLY, I'M NOT GAY! LOOK HOW MANY CHICKS I CAN HUMP! I SWEAR I'M NOT GAY!!!!
This cracked me up. I wouldn't let my kid watch the AMAs at any rate, not because of content but because I feel that it promotes crappy music.
<--Music snob family.
i agree, it was raunchy. i didnt watch the awards show, someone posted it in one of my groups.
