Adam Lambert works at getting beyond ‘the kiss’ Singer says there’s more to him than ‘gay guy’ tag
Adam Lambert doesn’t want to be the gay guy to which I say, be who you really are. The attempts by your PR team to sanitize your image isn’t working.
You continue to whine about the fallout from your own arrogance and stupidity. In a recent interview you are still upset that your ill conceived American Music Awards train wreck has ruined your reputation as a live performer. No shit Sherlock, but its more than just that. You’ve tried on countless images from the bi-curious guy to the half hearted philanthropist. You’ve sucked up to everyone from Perez Hilton to Justin Timberlake in a bid for fame, whether it be for legitimate reasons or as a tabloid celebrity, any attention from any source is your goal.
In an interview with The Toronto Star..
You said:
“It’s too bad. Especially because, I feel, the media has a responsibility to progress society. It would be really nice if the media tried to open their minds and desensitize certain parts of the U.S. to certain things. I see straight people kissing all the time, so why is two men kissing obscene?”
In what way would society benefit from watching you fondle your junk and sexually assault everyone within arms reach on TV? Nobody gives a damn that you kissed a guy. There are plenty of shows that portray love and affection between gay couples on both prime time and daytime television. Tell your publicist that making you spin that particular lie isn’t working. You need a new strategy.
“The TV networks have been punishing me for it. They wouldn’t let me do any live TV. They still haven’t, I’m not bothered by it anymore. It is what it is and I do think it’ll blow over. Time heals and people are fickle and all that. But it’s even made some other networks nervous about other projects, ones I shouldn’t talk about for `political’ reasons. “
The networks are pissed off because you didn’t deliver the performance you promised. If you had rehearsed your song with all of the extra simulated blow jobs, package thrusting and crotch grabbing that you ultimately did on live TV, the director would have been prepared to cut the camera away from you to something more palatable for the prime time audience for those moments. You didn’t give them that chance. You say that other artists do these things but the producers know what is coming and they can direct the cameras and Bleep bad language accordingly. You pulled a bait and switch. That is why you aren’t being trusted to perform live.
To add insult to injury, the show gave you the prime slot as the show closer. You not only offended the home viewers with your antics but your singing was horrendous and you topped it all off by flipping the bird at one and all as your thanks. The many other legitimate artists on the show must have gone away hating your guts for taking that plum opportunity and shitting on it when you hadn’t even earned your right to be on that stage.
Go back to the cabarets where you and your ridiculous persona belong.
What he’d prefer not to do in the meantime is become a crusader for gay rights in pop music. “On the one hand, I think it’s cool because there isn’t a lot of visibility for a young, gay, male musician. But … I do resent slightly the fact that when I’m presented in the media, it’s `openly gay singer and American Idol runner-up Adam Lambert.’ … My occupation is not `openly gay guy.’ I’m a singer. My sexuality should be a sidebar, if anything.”
You made your story about your sexuality. Don’t go crying about it now because nobody forced you to play coy with the Idol audience in a bid to get the maximum number of votes. Now that the show is over there is nobody twisting your arm to share the details of your sex life, your partying and drug use or your attempts to claw your way to fame in numerous magazine interviews. You certainly enjoyed the extra attention it afforded while it suited you.
Now that your AMA debacle has blown up in your face you are tired of it. Tough noogies.
If you don’t want to be treated like a name-dropping fame-whoring freak, go wash your face, lose the diva attitude and for godsakes can you get through just one song without shrieking? Dog owners nationwide will appreciate it.
One last thing:
Still, there’s been some speculation that For Your Entertainment has stalled about 40,000 copies shy of gold status in the States because of lingering homophobia.
Stop insulting the general public with this nonsense. You are selling poorly because the vast majority of people don’t want to buy your shitty music and they don’t like you. We don’t need another vapid fame-whore. Paris Hilton has that market sewn up and her flop album sold better than yours. Your sexuality has nothing to do with it.

-Joey-
p.s comment something mean back! i don’t care! your opinion not mine.
See you around assholes.
Okay! Here’s my two cents.
He’s a performer. This is his thing. He’s a SEX symbol, for God’s sake and he was totally right to say that he doesn’t want to be know as “the gay guy.” He’s not shoving the fact that he’s gay in other people’s faces. Kissing a dude live is not “forcing it down people’s throats.” And for all of you guys saying that nobody cared that he kissed a guy: You’re wrong. That just was the icing on the cake.
That being said, his performance was over the top and overly sexualized. I mean, you can’t honestly deny that. But I mean, you have to look at facts. That performance went too far and he had to face consequences. He has said on numerous occasions that he didn’t think that it would start such an uproar.
Just calm down, people. Adam Lambert is, in my opinion, a gifted artist. And as for the thing on Idol, he never denied or confirmed anything and people constantly attack him for not coming clean about being gay, but I mean, that’s his personal choice. That’s not the only way he stayed true to himself. He KICKED A FREAKING CAMERA! He’s famous for his wild performances and I think it’s understandable that he got kicked off a few shows cause I guess they forgot or something. That’s what makes him him. He’s a crazy performer and he does what he does best. Performs. Obviously, it made an impact. People are still talking about it now.
But basically, leave the dude alone. You don’t like his music, fine. You don’t like him, fine. Just please. When hating on an artist, please try to make sense. A lot of what you said was out of line and made no sense. He doesn’t share his sex life. He’s never been in an interview and been like: “Ooh, I’m a top all the way” or been like “I like it freaky all the time, baaaaby.” He’s just a dude that sings and entertains. He came from the theater, so he’s theatrical. Get it?
So I just think that all this jumping down his throat is unnecessary. Get over yourselves.
okay im sorry MJ… but your really attacking here… And I agree with Adam when i say gays have just as much the right to be kissing and holding hands in punlic as much as straight people. MJ… i think your being harsh. STOP THE HATRED!
You,sir, are the most incorrect person on this PLANET. Adam has a fantastic talent in singing, so SHUT THE HELL UP. You’re wrong about him. He’s right to not want to be known as “that famous gay guy”. He wants to be known as a singer, which is perfectly normal. and his glam nation tour is doing fantasticly, and people all over the world are dying to see him. and if you think he doesnt deserve all this publicity, why waste your time complaining about him? why don’t you just leave him alone. He’s being himself, this is the way he is. and when he tried to express the lyrics to his song on the AMAs, every1 hated it. So how is it that Madonna and other women can get away with it but he cant? for kissing a guy they decided to make sure hes not on any shows at all. So he’s right. People are wrong for hating the perforance just because hes a guy, and he kissed a guy. Grow up. Why should he apologize? He is absolutley right about this.
Glambert is rude and vulgar, and he does not sing, just screams and screeches, doesn’t matter what his handful of fans believe!
Adam Lambert is a disgrace to the gay community.
I’m not surprised “Gene” showed up here. Gene always posts comments about how Adam’s changing the face of pop music because he’s the first openly gay artist (which he’s not)…bla bla bla…on any article that dares to not kiss Adam’s ass. It’s like the Bat Signal goes off when some blogger writes something even slightly unfavorable.
I hate reading about how Adam is sooo unique and important to pop music because, OMG he’s openly gay!!!!eleven!!!, yet at the same time Glamberts complain about how Americans are homophobic and dwell on the fact that he’s gay. They’re using his gayness to explain how ‘revolutionary’ he is, but they complain about how others focus on his sexual orientation and not the music. Interesting.
Gene and Judy….If this is the type of “entertainment” that you enjoy, thats great. I just read that at a recent concert Adam Lambert invited the audience to grope his crotch. And stated that if anyone objects “f*** them*. So, the fact that this person is a repulsive joke to me has nothing to do with homophobia…its because he actually is a repulsive joke. There are huge numbers of gay public figures who are intelligent and talented and you don’t think..gee thats a great gay guy. You simply thing .. gee, thats a great guy. Its 2010 and I don’t put a label on a person’s forehead branding him/her as to their orientation,be it straight or gay. But I look at Lambert and think he is a repulsive, pathetic, desperate joke. Can he sing? I don’t know…I heard him once and was unimpressed by the screeching.
Gene, you hit the nail on the head. I think he is a brave soul to just go ahead and be himself. He has never lied, denied or lead us to believe anything other than what he is, a gay guy! Being a gay person means you are different. How you choose to be different is up to the individual. With all the blatant sexuality in the media today, I find him to be honest in his persona. He had the love and support of his parents, unlike a lot of gays. I find him to be a very talented artist, just like most of the American Idol contestants.
I don’t care who he is… gay, straight or bisexual… that AMA performance was disgusting. Whether he was sexually assaulting a man or a woman or hell even a monkey, the fact is, it was horrific. If you want to be the AI poster child for gay persons and their rights, take a page out of Clay Aiken’s book. Don’t shove it down everyone’s throat (figuratively and literally) and present yourself with a little dignity. Be about the music and be a better human being. You will get more respect that way. If respect is not what you’re after, then quit whining. You reap what you sow…and you’re sowing CRAP!
Adam is the first young gay pop star who is overly sexual and some people just can’t handle that. If you think that homophobia, heterosexism and bias against displays of sexuality that are overly gay isn’t behind people’s overreaction, you are willifully blind. He is being very brave because the fact is much of this country is still homophobic. We often see people saying they don’t want anything gay “forced” on them. So most of gay artists have to stay closeted or they have to hide any trait that
might be construed as “too gay”. It always baffles me that people spend all that hate and anger at the wrong place – there is so much happening in the country and world to be angry at – put the energy towards those things, not some guy’s performance.
Adam Lambert is full of himself. He thinks he’s a star? Not yet. He went on a tv show and has received beaucoup promo from them and his label. He’s nothing without 19.
Adam should be proud of the fact he is gay, instead of using it as a crutch. There is nobody off idol who has received more promotion and publicity than him. There are far, far better singers/entertainers than him from AI. He’ll soon fall in line behind the 2010 idol.
Right on MJ!!! The AMA performance — the singing part — was just.not.good! If he had kicked it out of the ball park this would be all over. But he did a terrible job an now the PR he is doing is ridiculous. You nailed it. BTW you should report on how poorly his ticket sales for the Indio show are. Only 1/3 sold. Rock God? I think not.
Will the real Adam Lambert stand up? Tranny, gay lounge singer, loser, poser, or all American guy? The real one is a jackass for sure.
Thanks for the article. He must not remember that he’s the one who has used homophobia as an excuse. Who cares if he’s gay? No one. Who cares if he is a screecher when he sings? Not me, I’m not buying anything he’s selling. This “poor me” is pathetic, too. He has no qualms about dissing other entertainers and other gay entertainers.
Poser = Lamebert
MJ you hit the nail on the head! This guy is a jackass!!! Tired of his lame ass excuses!!!
two words that describe this guy….FAME WHORE!
Not just a poser, but a chronic whiner, too. How many times does he have to play the “homophobic” card? If his claim that people are uncomfortable with gay performers is true and he believes this, I’m sure his “show” on the AMAs went a long way to changing that! NOT!!
He continues to diss other well established artists that are much better then him whenever he has a chance, and he is always trying to appear as a victim. He only talks about the kiss to the other man. He is pretending the rest of his horrible performance did not happen and tries to convince people of it too.
There really are no words to describe this loser. You nailed it perfectly. He has been a poser since the day he set his nasty foot on the Idol stage. And a poser with an arrogant attitude at that.
He’s “out,” he’s “in” (on Idol), he’s “out” (In Rolling Stone)Yet the whole time he is running his mouth about how he is so true to himself. Really? I mean, really?
If he would have just kissed a guy on TV, no big deal. What the liar fails to mention is that he pulled human beings around on leashes on the stage, shoved a guys face into his crotch, fingered a woman on prime time TV, looked like a raving maniac, fell during his performance, and sang like shit. He fails to mention any of the “other ridiculous behaviors” that he orchestrated during that one performance.
I am so sick of this poser and his need to dress up and act like a rock star. He has no respect for anyone including himself. His PR people can try to spin it a million ways but the public ain’t buying it. They even brought in the big gun Oprah to try to salvage this idiot. Oprah, sorry, but you lost my respect with this one.
Keep blaming everyone but yourself loser. You don’t want to be the poster child for gay people, but you sure use the “homophobic” card every time you open your filthy mouth. Which is it?
Go back to where you came from, and leave the rest of us alone. You have set gay rights back more than you will ever know, which obviously you don’t give a damn about.
Thanks for the article, you hit the nail on the head.
He won’t apologize but wants everyone to forgive him. Jackass is right.
Jackass. Perfect nickname for him. He lives up to it every time he opens his mouth.
I am getting so tired of this POSER pointing the finger at everyone but himself for things going wrong with his career. The homophobia is getting old too. Not everyone has an issue with people being gay, so Adam continuing to use this card is just ridiculous.
Adam is going to be the next Paris Hilton because all he and his PR team care about is getting his face at all these events to make him look a lot more important and relevant than he actually is. How embarrassing when you sit and look at it.
He always said he wanted to remain ‘true to himself’, yet since the huge AMA mess, he has been ‘cleaning up his act’ on the talk shows that will have him. Why is that? Because he knows that the majority of people don’t like him and now he’s trying with the ‘poor me’ game. Guess what.. it’s not working. He’s as transparent as Saran Wrap.
I’m sure the guy will have some sort of career but it won’t be the kind he’s hoping for. His label put a lot of $$$ in him and they are eating it now because he’s NOT ALL THAT!
