LOS ANGELES, Calif. -- Adam Lambert's show-stopping performance at the 2009 American Music Awards shocked the crowd - and not because of his trademark rock 'n' roll wail.

The star brought some bedroom moves to the stage during his performance of "For Your Entertainment," the first single from his album of the same name - dragging a female backup dancer by the leg, simulating fellatio with a male dancer and kissing an androgynous male keyboardist. Adam noted to Rolling Stone after the performance that the lucky keyboardist was straight.

The racy performance may have been too much for ABC - during some portions of the performance, the camera cut away from Adam's moves during the East Coast broadcast.

At least one celeb had to turn off the TV -- Sherri Shepherd, who Tweeted, "Did Adam Lambert just grind some dude's head in his crotch.... TO MY NIECE... GO TO BED NOW!

"And did Adam Lambert slip the tongue to one of his dancers???? Whoa... Celibate woman here... turning off t.v. now... somebody else recap," she continued.

The AMAs were a show full of wild moments, including Lady Gaga performing with a flaming piano after smashing a mirror and then later smashing liquor bottles onto her keyboard. Amongst the other unexpected moments were on-stage stumbles by Jennifer Lopez during her performance of new single "Louboutins," where she momentarily fell before picking herself back up and launching back into the performance, and a stumble by Lambert as well. Even presenter Kate Hudson had a near wardrobe malfunction.

    All the people that freak out about Adam's performance are obviosuly judging on his sexuality and gender.. For example we have such great performers like: Britney, Janet, Madonna, X-tina, M.J. They all have done sexual things while on stage. Madonna even played with herself in a video. What is the difference people? The difference is he is gay and a male!

    I did not watch the show...thankfully according to some of the stuff I've read. I could care less about Adam Lambert's orientation and when I saw the pic I actually thought he was kissing a girl(which would have been weirder for him in reality)than kissing the dude. LOL So I thought that was the "stunt"--kinda like Madonna & Britney--two straight women

    If this is the "raciest performance" you people have ever seen, then you haven't seen many performances lately. He didn't do anything different then other performers before him have done. It wasn't a kids show, it wasn't a show geared towards young children and it was on during a time-slot that kids shouldn't have been watching, so I don

    Gay or straight that type of behavior should be left to soft porn not primetime entertainment. I could care less about Adam Lambert, in fact I believe that with him having a singing talent that he should be recognized for it, however, it could have been a little less "in your face" especially when so many families watch. I wouldn't care if it was a straight man/woman doin
