Dick Clark Productions Adam Lambert:AMA Performance

Dick Clark Productions Adam Lambert:AMA Performance – Dick Clark Productions Adam Lambert rant can be found here.ABC and Dick Clark Productions have decided to censor/edit Adam Lambert’s AMAs performance and the singer is not happy about it.Adam 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.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.Prince for example, wore a**less chaps one year…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.”

Gay rights publication The Advocate said a statement :

“In his first major television performance outside ‘American Idol,’ Adam Lambert delivered the sexually charged number we expected from him last night on the AMAs. It was reminiscent of other envelope-pushing performances by provocative artists like Madonna and Janet Jackson. It’s unfortunate that ABC and Dick Clark Productions censored the performance for west coast audiences highlighting the double standard that still exists for gay entertainers.”
