Not Much Love for Idol Runner Up
November 23, 2009 by James Hipps
OK, so the internet is all abuzz about how the openly gay “gasp” Adam Lambert had a dancer simulate oral sex, sucked face with a musician, grabbed his crotch, had someone else grab his crotch, took a tumble on stage, sounded not so great, and flipped the birds to the audience as he left the stage…all in a little over 4 minutes.
Let me break it down for ya! First, did anyone hear Rihanna? Amazing what a studio can do for a voice! Secondly, grabbing your crotch…like Michael Jackson and Madonna did in the 80’s? Tripped a little on stage…now there’s something new. And lastly, flipping the bird to those who “booed” him after his performance – pretty sad when Idol’s runner up has to represent the anti-establishment dontcha think? (I’m sure Iggy Pop along with Sid Vicious and Johnny Rotten from the Sex Pistols would have been proud).
In case you missed, and want to see it…watch below, but I’m not giving refunds for the 4 minutes of lost life!
For me, using a sexual fetish theme in this public forum goes too far for America. It might play better to a more sophisticated audience in Europe where this kind of activity is considered timid.
I didn’t see anything all the objectionable in there, and that performance didn’t look any more sexual than any others that I’ve seen. I thought he made a good performance, but should have avioded the high notes at the end.
