So was it ok for Madonna and Britney Spears to share a kiss on TV, but not Adam Lambert and a male keyboardist?

Since his controversial performance at the American Music Awards, Adam Lambert continues to spark debate.

On Wednesday’s Early Show appearance by Lambert, producers blurred the singer’s open-mouth kiss with nother man during his controversial performance at Sunday’s AMAs. Seconds later, an undistorted clip of Madonna smooching Britney Spears
at the 2003 MTV VMAs ran.

A CBS rep explained the decision to Extratv:

“We gave this some real thought. The Madonna image is very familiar and has appeared countless times including many times on morning television. The Adam Lambert image is a subject of great current controversy, has not been nearly as widely disseminated, and for all we know, may still lead to legal consequences.”

What do you think of Lambert’s performance?

here are few comments from some of our readers:

G says:

I think poor Adam Lambert is confused about what it takes to make it in the business. Unfortunately he doesn’t realize that he already has the talent and doesn’t need to showboat in that kind of arena. If he’s trying to make a bigger name for himself, he’s going about it the wrong way. I don’t care for him personally so if this hurts his career, oh well.

M says:

I think he’s an idiot…enough said.

M2 says:

He just gets caught up in the moment…unfortunately his “moments” aren’t what mainstream America appreciates. I still love him though!

Although Adam Lambert is an amazing talent, his performance had no place on TV. Maybe in concert. I would not want my children to watch that performance. And I will not be buying any CDs because of the images that won’t go away. And his comment about if a female performer had done the same thing is so very lame.

Mustang Momma says:

If he wants to act like that in one of his concerts that’s different. I don’t like it but at least I have a choice of buying a ticket and attending knowing the kind of show I might be exposed to. But there needs to be a sembalance of decency on TV. Especially where there might be a younger audience. What he did is inexcusable. I will never watch anything he is on. Not to mention the harm he has done to the gay cause in this country. He just played right into the gay sterotype that people object to. You have the right to your life as long as you don’t throw it in my face.
