So we’ve saved the juiciest for last… Adam Lambert not only kissed a guy during his controversial performance at the AMA’s, he also simulated oral sex from a guy.

“You know honestly, if I offended some people… it’s apples and oranges. I’m not an artist that does things for every single person. I believe in artistic freedom and expression, I believe in honoring the lyrics of a song, and those lyrics aren’t really for everybody either.”

He added, “People are scared and it’s really sad, I just wish people could open their minds up and enjoy things, it’s all for a laugh, it’s really not that big of a deal.”

But the AMA’s didn’t. Adam Lambert’s performance on the American Music Awards (AMA’s) was edited after kissing his male keyboardist who is straight. ABC received over 1500 complaints even after the edited version aired.

“If it’s edited, that’s discrimination,” Adam said. “I will be a little disappointed because there is a little bit of discrimination going in this country. 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.”

Adam Lambert’s Racy AMA Performance has everyone talking… Especially Adam himself.

He said, “If it’s edited, that’s discrimination. I will be a little disappointed because there is a little bit of discrimination going in this country. 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.”

Then it came true. While Madonna and Britney’s makeout session was cute, when Adam kissed male keyboardist Tommy Ratliff, who is straight, he gets censored. A double standard? Adam sure thinks so.

“Shock is fun, shock rock is like something that existed, for example, like in the 70’s, Alice Cooper…David Bowie, you had artists that liked to push the envelope and that’s what made them so fresh,” he explained. “I think that surprise is part of entertainment. I think that it keeps people watching its fun, it makes you laugh and it should be that way. And if it made you uncomfortable, maybe I’m not for you.”
