Check out his performance below. I think it was better than the AMA performance.

Adam Lambert Reconsiders AMA Performance, More Focus On Music

In the aftermath following Adam Lambert’s sexually-charged American Music Awards performance, Lambert seems to be having second thoughts.

“I think in hindsight I look back on it and I go, ‘OK, maybe that wasn’t the best first impression to make again, the first second impression.’ I mean, I had fun up there, I had a good time, my dancers had fun and the band had fun.
“I respect people and feel like people walked away from that feeling disrespected. I would never intend to disrespect anybody. So that was not my intention.”

In regards to ABC pulling him from Good Morning America, Lambert says, “I don’t blame them. I got carried away…They gave me a great opportunity to close the AMAs and I would never want to smack that gift horse in the mouth. I think they were taking a leap of faith having me do that and it unfortunately it didn’t work out as we all thought it would.”

“Ellen:airing 2m.Singing ‘whatya want from me’!,” the singer tweeted today. “AMA performance was a one time event. Goin in a new direction now. Focus back on the music…Don’t worry friends: I’m still gonna be me. Always. W/o appologies. Just gonna experiment differently w how I present myself…I’m learning. ”

Adam Lambert’s AMA Performance Draws Complaints

ABC television said it has received about 1,500 complaints on Monday about the sexually-charged performance by “American Idol” runner-up Adam Lambert at the American Music Awards on Sunday.

Millions of viewers saw Lambert simulate oral sex with a back-up dancer, plant a passionate kiss on the mouth of a male keyboard player and gesture to the audience with his middle finger during the closing act of the live music awards show.

ABC cut the most controversial part of his act — Lambert rubbing the face of a male dancer in his crotch — from the U.S. West Coast telecast that aired later on Sunday.

By the time the West Coast feed aired, Lambert’s performance was all the buzz on Twitter and the video of his performance had already been posted on YouTube.

The shows producers, Dick Clark Productions, said they did not know what Lambert had planned after seeing his rehearsals prior to the show. “We did not expect the impromptu moments,” a spokeswoman told Reuters.

“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,” Lambert told CNN afterward.

It is unclear whether or not ABC is at risk for being fined by the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) for broadcasting indecent or profane material.

What do you think? Did Adam go too far given that this was his first performance post-Idol?

Taylor Swift And Michael Jackson Lead AMA Nominations

Country sweetheart Taylor Swift leads the pack with the most nominations for the upcoming 37th annual American Music Awards.

Swift has been nominated for 6 awards including Artist Of The Year. Her album Fearless was one of the biggest selling albums of the year, so it’s no surprise that she’s on top with the most nominations.

Swift has some stiff competition for Artist Of The Year as the late Michael Jackson is also nominated in the same category.

Jackson is right behind Swift with 5 nominations, followed by Eminem with 4. Beyoncé, the Black Eyed Peas, Lady Gaga, Kings Of Leon, and T.I. each have 3 nominations.

The nominees are determined by radio airplay and retail sales, while members of the public determine the winners through online voting.

The awards ceremony will take place at the Nokia Theater in Los Angeles on November 22 and will be broadcast on ABC.

The first batch of confirmed performers includes Alicia Keys, the Black Eyed Peas, Jennifer Lopez and “American Idol” runner-up Adam Lambert.
