On CBS’ The Early Show live from New York Wednesday, Adam Lambert spoke with hosts Maggie Rodriguez and Harry Smith about the controversy surrounding his recent behavior onstage. Lambert’s sexually-charged performance for his debut single at Sunday’s American Music Awards has grabbed headlines and helped send downloads of his debut album soaring worldwide, but the outing also infuriated music watchers — who acuse the singer of alienating fans and risking his career with flamboyance.
Lambert kissed a male keyboard player, had a dancer simulate oral sex on him, and flipped the audience the finger while performing “For Your Entertainment,” a song with a sexual edge on last weekend’s show. ABC received so many complaints about the performance that the network’s morning show, Good Morning America, cancelled Lambert’s scheduled appearance because it said it couldn’t trust what he would do.
While Adam admits her may have gone a bit overboard, but doubts his performance would not have caused as much controversy if he weren’t openly gay. He also said there were other “adult” moments on the show that caused no outrage.
“I admit I did get carried away, but I don’t see anything wrong with it,” he said Wednesday. “I do see how people got offended and that was not my intention. My intention was to interpret the lyrics of my song and have a good time with it.”
