I agree with Lamberts performance. Its just sex, if your kids are curious answer their questions and move the fuck on. Fucking is how those kids got here in the first place.

You’re shook, Paula. We get it. Most people aren’t from the looks of things — ’cause sex doesn’t bother them. America isn’t the country you think it is, and you don’t own it.

and while Adam could have shown more finesse with what he did, I think it’s interesting how Adam did so and so but on that same show there are examples of crossing the line behavior. Sheesh Michael Jackson had been grabbing his crotch forever and yet nobody deemed that offensive.

i bet if Adam was more popular and established, he would’ve had a somewhat easier time with this situation.

@Keith Kimmel. Great job with the boycott. The letter is well crafted.

thanks!

we agree to disagree

i adore janet…but her pastied/naked breast had no place at a superbowl
unlike the cowardly justin timberfake
janet apologized
hopefully…adam may do so too

the ama was NOT the venue…
adam’s kiss was not just a madonna brit like kiss
it was much more!
it was akin to the now brazen gaybashing jehovah witness prince’s deep tongue kisses of brown mark

and if madonna had forced brit’s face into her vaginal area
i think there would have been similar protests

A rocker. Using sexuality *thoughtlessly*.

That’s got to be the STUPIDEST editorial I’ve read in years.

Yes, Adam: this idiot actually wants you to sit there and KNIT so you don’t piss off bigots.

Nobody said Mick Jagger was turned folks off to heterosexuality forty years ago, so only an idiot would make a similar claim for a gay rocker today.

Step 2: Send ABC & Disney a Letter

When calling, ask for the contact named. You’ll get thier office, but thats where whining matters. Whining to a switchboard operator will accomplish nothing. However, annoying an executive’s adminstrative assistant will.

Dear [ Name ],

As a regular viewer of [ABC STATION], I am outraged to hear that you have decided to ban Adam Lambert from your network after his performance on The American Music Awards, which you broadcast. I was even more shocked to learn that you decided to edit the west coast feed to hide various parts of Lambert’s performance. As you are undoubtedly aware, Brittany Spears has performed numerous publicity stunts similar to those recently performed by Lambert. Those stunts were well-received, joked about and enjoyed for the entertaining moments that they were.

By not banning Spears and banning Lambert, your network is clearly allowing a double standard which is homophobic in nature and this is unacceptable. I am offended that ABC chooses to discriminate against gay people in its programming choices. I do not support discrimination and therefore I can no longer in good conscience support your network.

Therefore, until you issue an apology and reverse this poorly conceived and hastily made decision, I will not be watching or supporting ABC or its affiliates in any way. I will also be sure to avoid a vacation to any Disney-owned resort or watching any movies made or released by Disney or its affiliated studios.

Sincerely Yours,

[ Name, Address, Phone, E-mail address ]

Step 3: Boycott ALL ABC-Owned TV Stations & Disney Stuff

> http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/L......S._state)

If you MUST watch TV shows only avaliable on ABC, download them from a Torrent site. That way ABC gets NO money from it.

Avoid any trips to Disney resorts. Don’t buy, rent or watch movies made or released by Disney Studios. Cancel your subscription to the Disney Channel if you have it.

Which people? The ones that play the gay card at every opportunity, and fail to see that his sexuality is not an issue here?

Straight people have BDSM clubs, too, and there would be just as much outrage if one of them chose to take that act to prime-time TV network. In fact, aren’t you forgetting the Janet Jackson boob incident? She is straight, and so is Justin Timberlake.

Adam’s Idol persona was completely fake, and he flipped that finger to all the little girls who voted for him on the show, and all their parents who allowed them to stay up and see that nice boy he played on TV. Instead, they were treated to an act that belongs to a night club where people who go in know in advance what they are about to see.

AMA reps are saying that he did not simulate oral sex in rehearsals. So, either he did it deliberately, and cannot be trusted to stick to the script on live TV, or else, as he claims, he got carried away, and therefore, cannot be trusted not to do it again. That’s why he got booted from GMA.

It’s not like he is the first gay person that was going appear on that show, you know. There have been others, but they were smart enough not to fake blow jobs on the air.

Regarding Adam, you’re missing a few facts. He stipulated immediately that he asked the PR guy (gay) to request politics be off limits. It was Hicklin who put it on the head of RCA before hand. The “gay-gay” moniker has yet to be explained by Hicklin, the most ridiculous actor in this story. I can quite see “We’re not going for The Village People here so not too gay-gay ok?” They had the option to fight or rescind the offer at that time.

Lastly, the show was the culmination of a week of hell for a 27 year old attacked by all sides but mostly from the gay core of his being. So put that together with adrenalin and you get the performance. Porn show is irrelevant to me. Can you even fathom performing in front of 15 million people after being attacked all week and putting a new band and performance together in 3 weeks? My kid is 26 and can’t remember to renew his driver’s license.

There is no gay-Adam controversy now. He did more for LGBT with two tweets and a 5 minute show than Out magazine has done in their entire recent history. IMO.

Regardless you can dismiss my argument and Romeo will perhaps reply and much more eloquently than I, but think about it. He’s still on tv today saying there is gay discrimination because of the censorship of the stupid kiss.

I know 20 young LGBT girls who were heartbroken over his Hicklin treatment. They cried “I want to be normal and not feel like a freak in my own house and Adam understands that. Please stop dividing us.” Pretty damn insightful for teens.

And about 200,000 homo and hetero fans who are raising LGBT kids and grandkids. See the whole picture before assuming ok?

Peace

@Romeo, morning bb, shutting of this machine now and will likely put it in my car LMAO.

how was OUT mag too gay but this prime time porn show not???

stupidity trumps cowardice always…

ELOQUENT FURY

Right wingers are going to do their hate thing no matter the face we present to them. They’re minds are made up. Begging and pleading only gets their contempt. Yes, the columnist is quite correct. Most of us lead ordinary lives doing ordinary, normal things. Most people generally see us in the world and know this about us. Adam’s performance doesn’t change any of that, as witnessed by the relatively moderate level of complaints that ABC got. Have you seen the number of positive messages? Way outnumber the complaints. Adam chose to assert himself in a perfectly appropriate venue for it. He took the risk, and people seem to be respecting him for it.

Maybe it’s time we got past our fussbudget and martyrdom phase, and stood up for ourselves. Young people struggling with their sexuality could use a message like that.

That columnist’s pique aside, continuing to follow her road will lead us exactly nowhere. The haters count on us doing exactly what she’s talking about because that’s easy to dispense with.

http://www.huffingtonpost.com/.....69274.html

“Whereas just over a year ago it seemed like gay marriage was an inevitable wave sweeping the country – and a tsunami in New England, New Jersey and New York – now it feels like the tide has turned. The hate crimes bill victory was followed by a vicious hate crime in Puerto Rico. We have hearings on ENDA, which could go either way. We have Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell hearings which are being put off until 2010. We have a President who isn’t sure he is our friend.

And what is the mainstream most worried about, Adam Lambert? Why are they afraid of our partnerships, our service to our country, our working lives, our families? They are worried because they think gay life is exactly what you portrayed on the American Music Awards: focused on the kind of sex that turns people into animals (almost literally, in this case, with crawling dancers leading you on leashes), geared toward enticing children (ABC is a network owned by Disney, for heaven’s sake), degrading, rapacious, empty.”

The single has 2500 ratings at 4 stars. 1590 5 star and 520 1 star.

There are two albums. 4.5 star again with the 1 star dragging it down from 5 star.

PLEASE TAKE A MINUTE TO GO RATE THE SINGLE AND BOTH ALBUMS ON YOUR ITUNES.

YOU DONT HAVE TO WRITE A REVIEW JUST CLICK THE 5 STAR ICON.

IT REALLY DOESN’T MATTER (TO ME) WHAT YOU THINK ABOUT THE SONGS, THERE IS SOME HATE SPEECH GOING ON IN THE WRITTEN REVIEWS AND TROLLING. Alot of comments about the AMAs too then throwing in “bad music” LOL.

Mom is there. And interviewing. good move.

After singing went outside where some middle aged women made jackasses out of themselves. Also no gay sightings. (sigh) Image police = FAIL

or maybe that was on purpose on second thought.

Other than that there is nothing the wouldn’t make you like if not love this kid if you are the mainsteam, so A+

need. coffee.

You can see clips on Gossip Candy. FYE album is 5 on the overall chart itunes facing Rhianna, 2 Gagas and somebody else i forget.

Then cutting to Adam Lambert who says yeah, he met Robin William’s daughter out one night and they are friends now. LMAO

They are playing the ENTIRE ALBUM in the background.

They said they want Adam Lambert there daily for the next 5 years based on the crowd. “the draw of Adam Lambert is remarkable”

One woman flew in from TOKYO for this. jfc.
One fan came from Pakistan?

He’d love to go to Japan. He hopes to tour in the spring. Didn’t say it would be international, it was a different question.

His interview in the studio held up well. Smart not to do it where the fans will boo. lol.

Their narrative was it’s broadcast tv and kids watching. He said he is not a babysitter and it was 11:00 at night. He’s a live theater based performer and was playing to the audience he saw in the theater. He then listed all the equally adult material that night Eminem with 17 rapes, Gaga breaking whiskey bottles, Janet Jackson grabbing male crotch. He noted Jackson TWICE very clearly so it didn’t get missed lol.

They did a little faux pressure on the “will you apologize” (“NO”) and faux assertion that gay has nothing to do with it (he disagreed).He said he’ll try and stick to the rehearsal version in the future for tv. lol

They were/are being nice, fun, and enthusiastic about the appearance. They’re making a point that it’s a diverse audience. One guy got to ask a question but he wasn’t wearing a boa.

@Romeo I hope you taped this cuz he’s rockin the natural face no visible makeup- pleather/leather pant-high pompadour-with knee high patent leather boots…his legs look about 5 feet long. lol

OTOH, the other parts of the show are ugh and I missed going down to my lobby for coffee.

@romeo yes the album!

Early show early recap:

Censored Adam’s kiss and showed Britney’s …oh the irony

Saw Boyle’s vid for “Wild Horses.” It’s so disconcerting listening to that incredible voice and watching her. LOL Bless her heart. Not surprised she’s selling well.

So happy Adam is selling well, but I kind of expected that performance Sunday would turn the corner for him. I really wanted to see him throwdown. Looks like a lot of people felt the same way. And there’ll be more!

Looks like they shut down the discussion rooms.

BILLBOARD SALES PROJECTIONS:

Meanwhile, Adam Lambert’s “For Your Entertainment” is also outperforming sales expectations, despite—or perhaps because of—the risque performance he turned in at the American Music Awards on Sunday, Nov. 22. Label and distribution sources project that “For Your Entertainment” could sell about 225,000 units in its first week.

That’s a good number.

Subo is at half a million (expected, she’s on tv all day and qvc)
Gaga at around 200,000
Rhianna underperforming at 160,000
Kris Allen under 85,000 in another article
