The kiss heard 'round the world -- Adam Lambert on last night's AMAs. (Screen shot from the television feed.)
Adam Lambert was best known for his rise to stardom via American Idol -- that was, until last night. Now he will be remembered as the guy who kissed another guy on stage at the American Music Awards. Lambert performed his hit song "For Your Entertainment" at the awards show last night, and has been talked about ever since for his performance. (Watch the video at PerezHilton.com.)
During the performance, Adam Lambert kissed one of his back-up dancers as well as grabbed his own crotch numerous times (which is nothing new -- it was Michael Jackson's signature move). There was also simulated oral sex on stage. Lambert came out of the closet and announced that he was in fact gay after American Idol was over. Rumors had swirled around him during the time he was on the show, but nothing was said until after it was over.
In response to the controversy around last night's show, Lambert said "there's a big double standard, female pop artists have been doing things provocative like that for years, and the fact that I'm a male, and I'll be edited and discriminated against could be a problem."
Twitter was abuzz last night all today about his performance, with reactions that were on both ends of the spectrum. ("Adam Lambert" has been a trending topic for an entire day!) Here are a few tweets:
