    In reply to Adam Lambert's Crotch Is Connected to the 'Send Angry Email' Button of Parents Everywhere
    Were they complaining about Eminem and 50 Cent at all? Half their song was bleeped out because of cursing, and I'm sorry, but even implied cursing gets my special garment in a wad.

    That said, I would concur with the vocal criticisms of Adam Lambert's performance because he can do better than that, but if he hadn't kissed a dude, I would have been thinking "Damnit, what a sellout." I wanted him to kiss a dude, I wanted him to shove someone's face into his crotch, and I got what I wished for. Except for the shrieking. I was not wishing for that.

    Im going to be honest. I have nothing against gay acts on TV.

    But I certainly have things against really bad signing and crappy dancing. Adam might be this classically trained singer, but I just don't see what people like about him. Every time I have heard him sing my ears have bled.

    One of my biggest issues is he is always just slightly out of tune. Like ALWAYS. Not blatantly, he is on key (though he was NOT on key for this performance) , just out of tune to it slightly. His intonation seems to be always off when he sings live.

    I guess its hard to explain unless you have musical training.

    @ediebeale: Exactly. I should have mentioned that I have perfect pitch, but yeah thats exactly why I cant stand him, or American Idol in general.

    They could have all the training and be perfect technically, but if its just slightly off tonally it drives me up the wall.

    Its why I have issues seeing a lot of acts I like live.

    As a heathen prancing sissynanny gayboy (who can sing), I can't stand that Adam may skate away from this because people will come to his defense over the man-kissing alone. The fact is, his singing sucked donkey, and the rest of the act was tacky and stupid, and he shouldn't be able to get away with it. He looked like an amateur being handled by amateurs on that stage. He should be forced to reflect on just how awful he was, and rethink how he wants to enter this business.

    Honestly, if that is the voice he has to offer, he should pack it in. I was embarrased for his vocal performance to the point where I barely noticed the visual crapness.

    @curiousgeorgiana: His breath control sucks, his technique is amateurish. He is a showboater more than an interpreter. I know lots of ordinary people who can do that, and he is no more deserving of the spotlight than they are.

    Two guys kissing on TV will turn your boys gay but Miley Cyrus dancing on the pole at the Teen Choice Awards won't turn your girls into whores? Interesting.

    People being shocked at Adam Lambert remind me of the morons who got up and walked out during a David Sedaris reading.

    The first step in watching/attending an event is knowing the talent involved. If it offends you, don't go or watch. Simple as that.

    You had me at Aziz Ansari. Apatow, I'm still kinda pissed about Funny People, but if you promise to finally leave Seth Rogen out of one of your movies, I think I see some promise.

    Does anyone really listen to the Parents' Television Council? I'd like to see that.

    Oh, and don't they understand that they're just playing into his hands?

    OK, I don't hate Taylor Swift anymore--really, I don't. I appreciate that she's got a good sense of humor, I enjoyed her episode of SNL, etc. whatever. But how does she fool people into thinking she's a great singer? Seriously, how does she win all of these awards?! Don't just look at her, people! Listen!! It's not good!!

    Also not good? Stephenie Meyer's writing. But I've given up that battle.

    @DahlELama: Watching her garner ten awards in the past couple of weeks for something not-so-super is quite peculiar. I don't really understand how she keeps riding that same single so far. Last year, Beyonce's "Single Ladies" wasn't even that amazing of a song. She had history behind her, so it made since for it to take over the world. I think what happened was radio stations were trying to stay on air, so they played the safest, most-broad genre pop they could get their hands on. Booooooo.

    "...the backup dancer who performed fake oral sex on Adam Lambert and Jennifer Lopez's ass..."

    I read this sentence wrong the first time through and thought, "Who is this rogue backup dancer that's performing faux fellatio on every performer during the AMA's?"

    So the New Moon and Blind Side receipts will make the Hollywood powers-that-be realize that women and girls can actually make movies (and modestly budgeted ones at that) hits. Right? Right?
