As most of you know, Adam Lambert who was in American Idol last year, performed a very lewd performance a few night ago at the American Music Awards.
It pisses me off to see that everyone is dodging him because of it. Sure, it was a bit over the top with him roughly smooching a dude on the lips on stage and grabbing someone's crotch, but if you look at it. There were so much more worse performances on stage too. Look at the Britney Spears and Madonna situation a few years back, and let's not forget the Kanye West and Taylor Swift incident!
Yeah, there was news about that on TMZ and E News. But after a few weeks, everyone just forgot about it. What about Sacha Baron Cohen flying up in the air and landing face first into Emminem's crotch? That was on stage...kind of.
People just get so offended by every little speck nowadays, it's rediculous. So, now, Adam Lambert is banned to perform at the Grammies and was also banned from some Morning News Show because the people there were offended and untrusting towards Adam's behavior the other night at the AMA's. Why make this a bigger deal than it already is? Adam's a cool guy, I can just tell.
Point is - this really has blown out of proportion and getting out of hand. I think people really need to stop bitching and whining over something that's made for our entertainment. If you get offended by sucha thing. Grow up and leave it alone, don't ruin it for EVERYONE else and the performer.
Now my mother hates Adam Lambert because of this, but I don't.
My question is:
Do you think Adam Lambert's getting the fair treatnment? Do you think it's gone too far?

No, it isn't fair treatment at all. Its prejudiced. Female pop singers act whorishly and get away with it plenty, what was the big deal, that he kissed another man? big whoop! that he simulated oral sex? OMG like we've never seen that before onstage?!?! uhm, Madonna? Britney? fer shit's sake. bullshit, I say.

Britney Spears acts like a whore on stage - last I seen. And Lady Gaga is just a fashion freak and a hermaphrodite. Yet, people don't peg her for it. Though, when a guy like Adam prefers peen over poon it's all like, "OMFG!!!!111 REPORT! REPORT! BAN!" People need to get over themselves.

I'm fairly certain she's not a hermaphrodite and you're just bitching because your parents still dictate what music you're allowed to listen to. O.o
Jeez, it was a performance. But does it really warrant a bunch of discussion just because your mom doesn't like him anymore?
Some things are honestly more important than freaking out over Adam fucking Lambert.

I don't listen to pop music OR watch American Idol.
Guess why! Aside from the fact that it's recycled garbage smashed into an easily digestible lump that's entirely devoid of artistic merit, of course.
Edit: grammar.

While I agree, his treatment is unfair... The media is making just as big of a deal out of it as they would with any other celebrity. When everyone was saying Britney was a lesbian, the media drooled all over that too. So, this doesn't surprise me in the least. I feel bad for the guy getting banned, but if he didn't want that to happen, I think he should have been a wee bit more conservative. I have nothing against him being gay, not one bit. I think it's awesome actually, what he did at that show. Hot, even. And yes, it's been done a lot before. Tool, Marilyn Manson, Rammstein... all pretty well known for lewd sex acts on stage. But their fan base is astounding to this day. <3

Beyond that, I liked the guy when he was on American Idol. Began to hate the dick when he started trying way too hard to be "gay" and began working toward attempting to pull off the next Freddy Mercury. He's talented, but not exceptionally creative if he has to base his entire career off of someone who was so hugely successful because he was COY about his sexuality. In which case, he's completely fucking it up.
Freddy Mercury was a genius because he didn't allow his sexuality to be addressed by the media and he didn't flaunt it. He believed his music was more than what body part he preferred and Adam Lambert's attempts at capitalizing upon it by doing the exact OPPOSITE piss me off to no end. He tries too hard and he most likely appeals to the crowd of teenagers who believe that Hot Topic is mecca and decide to mix rainbow sox with an omfg plaid corset and don't you love my Jack Skellington belt?
As with any music, everyone has different tastes but the man has no idea the poor image he's giving to gay and lesbian youth; not because he came out and because he's proud to be gay, I think that's awesome. But because he's sending the message that your sexuality is the basis for your success, when it should be your talent.

She said that whole thing insulted her vagina...said her vagina was very upset. And you know what. Power to him. Make a sex video.

I just have one question: who the feck is Adam Lambert? >.> Did you not read anything in this thread? It's... some dude. Some gay dude that sings. You probably couldn't tell I was being sarcastic Well, in truth I really had no idea who the dude was when this thread was started. But I googled. So much for fame. And to expand on that point that I want to make: it's likely his fame that caused what he apparently did to become such an outrage. That is to say: he doesn't have enough fame. He isn't of the caliber of Britney or Madonna or Placebo (they've snogged on stage, and other things) or the other artists mentioned. So it's likely breaking a social norm to act that way when your status in the music world is still somewhat precarious, new. That's why people are likely upset at him because of kissing dudes on stage. It's not socially acceptable for someone in his position. If he were a superstar, I doubt people would mind as much. As it is, he just looks like he's getting above himself, and it pisses people off that he'd think he could get away with it. In short: it's not a matter of fairness, it's an issue of social norms.
