Totally agree with bren. The suit is hideous, hate his hair. It’s not like he can’t look good, he’s a decent looking guy.

she was wearing a giant hair.. upper torso-thing when she came on stage. hilar. she’s got the art of the reveal down pat. she changed outfits like 15 times on stage, and once she got rid of the hair-torso, she was rocking the mullet-hawk.

tried to find a pic of her hairsuit from one of the many jackasses with the dig cameras, this is the best i could find..

she also walked on the crowd, spit “blood” on the front row, and at the very end, convinced the dumbest attendees to take off their shirts & throw them at the stage. she was really f-ing with people, pretty funny. it was the weirdest crowd that night, a bizarre cross-section. and we got some horrid belligerent drunk c____s booted. sooo vindicating.

o. luv peaches! and yeah, if you want envelop pushing…she’s your gal. but we’re talking about primetime network television. a whole other world, where minds can be blown by boys kissing each other and lady gaga not wearing pants. shocking!
also, how was peaches hair?

are we talking strictly in the mainstream popdiva oeuvre? because pushing the envelope is nothing new, and plenty of male performers do it. frankly, 2 seconds of generic choreographed simulated sex is practically common place in your standard popstar-gone-raunch dance routine. but the man kiss on the ama’s probably reached a wider audience who were fully unprepared for it. i know he’s trying to spread his wings and fly far far away from the idol roost, but he probably lost a lot of fans over this one. and gained a bunch too.

if you want gender role challenging, put peaches up there. saw her last nite, and she put on quite a show.

Wow, Drew, that’s really interesting. Too bad it wasn’t left in! I would have liked to see Anthony and John kiss.

kb, you are ttl right. I mean, no one can name a Adam Lambert song… Does he just want to be known as the guy who kissed a guy on the AMAs? He should focus on his music and performances first and foremost.

Some 20 years ago I directed Hollywood funksters the Red Hot Chili Peppers in a video called Knock Me Down. During the passionate performance as the music builds to the highest point, Anthony gravitates towards the guitar player, John and plants a kiss of life on his lips. It was so real and heartfelt that we left it in despite what might be thought of as “homosexual” overtones. To me, as the director, it was as real as it gets. The label made me take it out and I did. I pleaded with the creative department and they felt me but corporate said take it out. Unfortunately at the time the Peps were not in a position to demand the edit stay although none of then even blinked an eye when they saw it. I’m not sure what Adam’s true motivation was but as Bobby Seale would say “seize the time”.
