I'll admit that was rough to watch. If Adam can manage to capture live how he sounds in the studio, he'll be much better off than doing those awful vocal histrionics.

It was just startlingly amateurish on every front. Not what I expected, even with my very low expectations. Maybe a combination of nerves (happens when you get parachuted into fake rock stardom) and inadequate general physical fitness to handle dancing AND live singing over several minutes (also happens when you get parachuted into fake rock stardom). I didn't care one way or another about the luridness other than to note that as performance art it was not good. It was the really bad singing that left me rather taken aback.

I don't necessarily disagree with your assessment of his performance. Perhaps it would have seemed less sleazy had it been more artistically executed. I don't know, but I don't think he did his career any favors.
Z was right in his reaction to the performance at my Adam Lambert thread though: viewed in the right spirit it is hilarious - a comedy of errors!

Look, his performance could have been better BUT there is a SERIOUS double standard going on here as female artists have been doing what Adam did (and worse) on TV for years but the performance was edited for the delayed west coast broadcast. Basically ABC and the AMAs are saying "gay is not ok." That's fucked up.
Anyway, I bought Adam's new album "For Your Entertainment" tonight and rather enjoyed it. It's fun, catchy and IMO sure to be a big hit.
