    Shock and awe! Great tradition of music/performance: Freddie Mercury, Jim Morrison, Madonna, Cher, Elvis, Sid Vicious, Michael Jackson, all made history by making bold sexual statements with and about their music. If you want banality, illusory safety, familiarity then there are plenty of choices for you. I you want to see the next superstar prepared to be shaken up..FORTUNE FAVORS THE BOLD!

    I'm not a fan of his but we've seen more than this before and those past occasions made as much publicity as this... Madonna, Janet Jackson, Michael Jackson, Prince, Cher, etc have made many shocking moments during prime time and we all lived on, why the big deal?? I think if we just stop talking about it... it will be OK!

    Paul...everyone is NOT a child of God. Jesus called the Pharisees children of satan..God clearly says homosexuality is an abomination to HIM. He tells men NOT to sleep with other men..women to exchange their natural sexuality with other women. When we go against HIS laws, we become alienated from him and out of HIS family...You can't be FOR God and go against HIS values. He does love us re

    I think Adam Lambert is a disgrace to the music industry. He is not meant for family environment. I would not want my son to watch him perform. So....any TV show airing Adam will loose a rating from me! Michael Jackson was a clean performer!! My son watches Michael Jackson's videos all the time, but NOT Adam's videos! Come on!! What type of people is Adam trying to get as

    SOOOOOOOOo tired of the TRASH!! YES, even Madonna and Brittany's kiss. Can't we just listen to music without the sexual shock images ( which is exactly what this is all about. Some may not see anything out of order, but as much as you hate to understand this, MANY Americans DON"T agree with this behavior which is exactly WHY he's been canceled. Families are watch
