It seems like just the other day I was going on about how you have to be yourself, using Adam Lambert as an example of a celebrity marching to the beat of his own drum.
Then over the weekend he commanded the stage at the American Music Awards and jaws collectively dropped as he pulled people on leashes, ground a dancers head in his crotch and madeout with his male band mate. SHOCKING!!! It was so in your face, America. Aside from moments of rather bad singing, I sort of loved it.
And yes, gay people have to be publically gay -- in everybody's face. Many in the majority like to pretend they're ok with gay people as long as they "keep it to themselves," meaning "in the closet." For example, if I hold my boyfriend's hand, that's too in your face, and it's a total load. Female artists have been grinding on and making out with other bitches for years and years, but a gay guy shows a little love and it's called vulgar, disgusting and in your face. Well, good. You're in my face, straight America, I've learned to deal with it.
As I tweeted earlier today, love or hate Adam Lambert on the AMAs, he's not a studio puppet. Be true to you. Screw playing it safe and let your freak flag fly.

Let that rainbow flag fly strong and high!! YEAH... I love Adam Lambert!! Just sayin'
I'm starting to like him more, but next time less spectacle & more focus on the singing. That said, I'd still MUCH rather a shaky live performance than lip synch!
