Adam Lambert's AMA Performance Draws Complaints

A few things discussed after last night's American Music Awards: Taylor Swift winning everything, Lady Gaga getting shut out by otherwise literally obscure band Gloriana, and of course, Adam Lambert's first major performance. And that, as expected, as raised eyebrows--his performance of his first single, "For Your Entertainment", saw him simulate oral sex with a back-up dancer, plant a kiss on a male keyboard player, and flash the finger at the audience. And folks in the West Coast didn't even get to see the more controversial part: Adam rubbing a male dancer's face in his crotch.

Now, ABC, which aired the awards ceremony last night, confirmed that it received at least 1,500 complaints about the American Idol runner-up's performance. Dick Clark Productions, the producers behind the event, also added that they were unaware of what Adam planned basing on rehearsals. "We did not expect the impromptu moments," a spokesperson said.
