As you may have heard American Idol's #2 last year Adam Lambert caused quite a stir at the useless AMA awards on Sunday night. He kissed his male keyboardist and part of his performance featured getting down and going down. Parents Television Council, ABC (part of Walt Disney) and homophobes, were outraged at the event. (Maybe they couldn't find the remote or figure out how to turn the tv off)
If you have ever watched the AMA (sorry) you realize that without the performances it would be yes, even worse. Taylor Swift won five awards - is today's music really in that bad of state?
The point is that what Adam did has been done several times on the stage but the catch is - it has been done by women. He realized that there was a double standard and puckered up.
It is amazing that in a country that promotes liberty, freedom and the pursuit of happiness that so many want to control what people do. You think that if America is really "free" that a little guy on guy action is par for the course.
So Kudos to Adam Lambert for breaking a barrier that even Bruno would be proud of, hopefully America will wake up, children will go to bed before prime time, parents will figure out that if they dont like it they can change the channel and maybe, just maybe, some will even realize that there is no black and white, but grey and gay.
When Lambert was asked the baited question "what he would change about his performance" he responded, "I would sing it a little bit better."
That my friends is a true star.
