I missed the show but your analysis is well supported by quotes from Lambert’s performance. Pretty shocking stuff, and I agree wholeheartedly about the vulnerability of adolescents. Thanks for speaking up so eloquently. This deserves a wider audience. Did you send this to ABC?

I hate that everything I start to write about this makes me sound like some kind of uptight prude.

I agree with most of what has already been said. It did seem like rape – choreographed and celebrated and wrong no matter what your sexual leanings might be. I wish he HAD just stood there and sung.

Wow, I’m disturbed now reading this. But glad you wrote this, it needs to be told. I’m with you all the way on this one.

Don’t wanna have anything to do with this guy. Yuck. Glad I missed the “performance” too.

Well, as a published author and poet, what really bothers me is the fact that this crappy writing is masquerading as lyrics. I watched the AMA’s as I do each year and normally during these performances it’s difficult to hear the lyrics so I am glad you posted them even though they sicken me not only for the content but writing. Whoever wrote these lyrics is making a huge amount of $$$ for writing garbage. It’s very disheartening when there are so many writers out there who want to send inspirational and uplifting messages and KNOW how to write yet these idiots who cannot even spell are the ones getting kudos. Very sad. Good post though, it allowed me some time to rant

Sounds like I’m glad I missed this performance, and especially that my daughter did. It’s hard enough to explain things like sexuality, religion, you name it, on a daily basis.

I don’t really want to go back to the “innocence” of the 50’s, but sometimes I wish we had better control of what does and what doesn’t come into our homes. I also didn’t watch the awards, but don’t think that was the right place for the song or any of the junk that went with it.

I really wondered during American Idol if he had the self control to really succeed or if his desire to be shocking would overwhelm his music. Guess the AMA performance was the answer, too bad he’s really talented. He is definitely on the forbidden list of performers in our house, as there would just be way too many questions from my little one.

I missed the performance but have read about it. Lambert is way too talented to pull this kind of disappointing stunt for an audience who might not appreciate his antics (or lyrics). I loved him on American Idol, but not so much since.

I’m glad I didn’t bother watching the AMAs, for so many reasons (and several for just this performance). It sounds to me like he doesn’t care at all about her entertainment, just his own. As he said in the first part, I need to be entertained.

I’m so damn lucky to have the two of you in my life. You’re making me think deeper about this, and it’s a neat thing. Expect it to show up in some fiction down the road.

Thanks. And keep it up! My brain needs this workout!
