Comments on: Adam Lambert’s AMA performance controversy: trying too hard? http://www.celebitchy.com/81763/adam_lamberts_controversial_ama_performance_trying_too_hard/ Stylish celebrity escapism Tue, 14 Feb 2012 20:22:33 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.2.1 By: Jeremy http://www.celebitchy.com/81763/adam_lamberts_controversial_ama_performance_trying_too_hard/#comment-548666 Jeremy Sat, 05 Dec 2009 03:01:56 +0000 http://www.celebitchy.com/?p=81763#comment-548666 I thought it was a bit much from him, even if it's true that women have been doing the same thing for decades. Not that I thought it was too inappropriate, just saw it as a bit of a cheap way to get a bit more attention. It WAS late night television so parents can't complain and it's more that I just don't get how doing that displays any innate talent or entertains us any furthur. Good on him for coming out and all but getting over the top for attention just makes all gays look cheap.

Thanks for the post. I'm really a big fan of Wicked the Musical. I've seen the musical about ten times. My favorite character is Elphaba. I like the fact that you can see another side of the story. My favorite part of the musical is when Elphaba flies on her broom stick.

You’re better than that. This could have been an opportunity for Lambert to prove, once and for all, that he’s a true talent regardless of who he sleeps with, but instead, he chose to emphasize theatrics and sex over his vocal prowess. To me, the performance was a fail, but since so many people are talking about it today, perhaps it’s more of a mission accomplished." Well said. I saw it and I thought the theatrics masked a greater problem. Possibly it's the AI machinery kicking in, but I found both songs I heard from his debut album positively boring. Heard it before and anything that made Adsam special is gone. Even the studio cut of "Tracks Of My Tears" wasn't nearly as special as his live performances. In each case it could be just any singer. The theatrics, yeah definitely trying too hard. “Gaga. You’re better than that.

No originality and he won't even be on the radar in 5 years if he doesn't grow up and get over himself. His CD's will be in the $2.00 bin at Walmart very soon. He can’t sing and he looks silly.

He didn't lose Idol because he was gay. That is just an excuse everyone uses because he lost.If he had been straight, he would still have lost. The fact of the matter is, he lost Idol and that is probably the best thing that could have happened to him. How many Idol winners have gone on to have the success he has had as an Idol runner up? Kelly Clarkson is about the only one I can think of that made it fairly big as a result of her win. Did Carrie Underwood win? If so, then she is another, but the fact is, Idol winners go on to fade away. Adam did not lose because he was gay. He lost because the other guy won. Plain and simple.

He did wear a bad dated outfit, but his behavior on stage was a bit new, for a man anyways. We've all see the clothes and make up on guys since the 80's, so that's not the shock value. If chicks can whore it up on stage for media attention, why not a guy? Give him his 15 minutes it won't hurt anyone. If he lasts more than 15 minutes then he played the game better then most. We all know by now it doesn't matter if someone has talent, but how they play the music game. egh it really could go both ways for Adam.

Tue, 24 Nov 2009 08:26:51 +0000 http://www.celebitchy.com/?p=81763#comment-536828 I think a lot of us can agree he lost on Idol because he is gay. His vocals were better than Chris and he already knew how to work a crowd. That being said, he was so transparently trying way too hard. It was almost comical the lengths to which he was going. Give it a wee bit of a rest Glambert, you'll go further that way. And to be fair, I hated the theatrics of the Madonna/Britney/Christina kiss for the very same reason. Just sing, and stop trying to slap us around while you're up there on stage. We'll only hate you in the morning. I think a lot of us can agree he lost on Idol because he is gay.
