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?
