Adam Lambert's Kissing Act at AMA

Stop slamming poor Lambert. He just happened to kiss someone from the same sex during his final performance at American Music Award on Sunday.

Over 1,500 complaints have kept pouring in on Monday against the American Idol Adam Lambert. The singer is charged with a kissing act with a male keyboard player during his performance. Besides, it was way beyond ABC’s expectation for one of Lambert’s dancers to stick his face in the singer’s crotch while he sang the S&M-themed performance of “For Your Entertainment”. The act was edited by the channel as the awards show was broadcast on a tape-delayed basis on the West Coast on Sunday.

“A lot of what I do is kind of freestyle. That’s how it was on ‘Idol.’ That’s how I perform. I like to have a framework, and just do stuff. So that kind of came about because of the connection that I had with that dancer”, the dancer explained to The Associated Press about the choreography.

Shart comments that sounded more hostile circulated online about the “American Idol” glam rocker’s performance. While Lambert followed the song’s lyrical theme, “It’s about to get rough for you”, he started to fondle one dancer and briefly pulled two dancers around on a leash.

Back in 2003, Madonna and Britney Spears briefly locked lips during the MTV Video Music Awards, raved similar outrage among the fans. Lambert had been openly gay and spoken about how provocative male performers could be onstage. There is no reason why the American Idol winner should be so largely criticized for an act of his choice.

In an interview with CNN, the singer told he is hurt and that his kiss was “in the moment”. Lambert also added that if if people were upset about it, “That’s a form of discrimination and it’s too bad”.

Timothy Winters, president of the Parents Television Council exclaimed that the people whole complained about Lambert’s kissing act are outraged and, “They just can’t believe the nature of the content, the explicit nature, and how much graphic content there was”.

Winters also added, “”These programs are wholly unsuitable for children now and it’s pathetic, given the amount of economic support that children and teenagers bring to the industry today”.

Ken Tucker, an entertainment Weekly writer, was sensible enough to speak in support of the singer.  He praised Lambert for raising the popularity of the show and for being “an event unto himself”. “As a TV viewer, I thought Lambert’s performance was a gas, a delight, a blast of brash vulgarity in the midst of merely ordinary vulgarity”, he also added.

Matthew Gilbert, a Boston Globe television critic, thought the act to he “pretty harmless”. He wrote on a blog, “It’s all posing and mugging and selling, not real honest provocation”.

Lambert was later quoted as saying in an interview with AP, “I had fun, my dancers had fun, the audience that was in the Nokia (Theatre) had fun. Anybody else who was watching it and enjoying it, thank you for being entertained. There are a lot of double standards as far as that goes. We’ve seen female pop and rock performers do that for the last 10 years. They’ve been very provocative, owning their power and sexuality. You just don’t see men doing it very often. And I’m hoping to break down that double standard with this number”.

Beyonce at MTV Europe Music Awards

Thousands went bonkers after Beyonce appeared at the MTV Europe Music Awards in a racy red costume.

In the memory of the fall of the Berlin Wall the MTV Europe Music Awards was held in Berlin on Monday November 9. This was the 16th annual MTV Europe Music Awards held in the honor of the 20th anniversary of the fall of Berlin Wall. Beyonce in her saucy red dress have been enough to make any wall go tumbling.

After performing the hit “Sweet Dreams” in red garters and a plunging neck-lined body suit, Beyonce undoubtedly became the star of the show. Besides giving a rocking performance the singer also swept the awards winning three major categories: best female artist, best song for “Halo,” and best video for “Single Ladies”.

While giving the acceptance speech for the best video, the singer thanked Jay-Z, her hubby. Jay-Z was also present in the audience and bagged an award as well, for Best Urban Act.

Other winners included Lady Gaga for best new act; Green Day, for best rock act; Eminem, for best male artist; German pop group Tokio Hotel for best group; and U2, for best live act. Lady Gaga was not present for the show.

Besides Beyonce’s heart stealing performance, the Irish rockers too stole the heart of many with a free 6-song concert in front of Germany’s Brandenburg Gate earlier Thursday. The band had earlier recorded “Achtung Baby” in Berlin.

Kate Perry

Kate Perry agrees on twitter. She will be hosting the MTV European Music Awards again this year. “RIGHT! I’m hosting the MTV EUROPE MUSIC AWARDS AGAIN! This time w/MORE outfits, MORE antics! If it ain’t broke, don’t fix it eh? YAY!!!” Her excited tweet says. This year the even will be held in Berlin at the O2 World on November 5.

The MTV European Music Awards recognizes the most admired music in Europe in the year. It was held in Liverpool last year which was hosted by Perry. The show saw Perry pulling hilarious tricks and riding on a “giant cherry Chapstick”. Must be because of such a huge success that MTV chose to bring her back again this year. The co-executive producer and SVP of the Talent and Music, MTV Networks International, Bruce Gilmer accepts that Kate Perry was the name that “kept coming back to” them for the hosting of the awards show as the “first choice for this year”.

The American 24 year old country-slash-pop-star-slash-songwriter is overjoyed with the news as her twitter post reveals. Adding to this she is nominated for the Best Music Video for “Waking Up In Vegas” alongside Lady Gaga, Shakira, Beyonce and Leona Lewis. She is all set to do something much bigger this year.

In the past Perry has had quite some good times with MTV EMA. She won the Best New Act award last year and showed the world her “world wide appeal” as praised by Gilmer in her hosting of the event. She now becomes the first star ever to host the MTV European Music Awards for the 2nd consecutive year. This has never happened to MTV EMA in it’s 15 years of the celebration of music.

Looking forward to the awards show? It promises to be bigger, much bigger … how excited are you?

"Fame Kills": Tour by Kanye West and Lady Gaga cancelled

The scheduled tour of Kanye West and Lady Gaga has has an unscheduled demise. This tour was going to start from the 10th of november this year and was dubbed as one of the most remuer’ creating experience among all tours.

The announcement was made in New York on Thursday by Live Nation, who were organizing this event. In the announcement no explanation for the cancellation was given. It was just said that the tickets already bought would be refunded. Those bought on the net or by phone would be refunded on their own, automatically, while the ones bought from a counter could get their money back from the counter they bought from.

“Fame Kills”, as the tour was called was to start at Phoenix, curl 34 places around the US and Canada and end in Dallas on the 24th of January 2010. It is quite strange that the tour announced just two months ago would see such an untimely end.

The Grammy Rap awardee, West doesn’t need anymore humiliations after his spunk (to put it mildly) visit to Taylor Swift on the MTV VMA stage a few weeks ago. That incident did some serious collateral damage to his image. Pretty much like the name of this tour. He killed his fame by busting Swift’s award speech and declaring “Single Ladies” by Beyonce as the “best” video.

From then on, life doesn’t seem to be “sweet dreams” for our 34 year old rap-artist. On “The Jay Leno Show”, last month, West agrees that he had blundered big time and hurt “somebody else”. He wants to take time off and “just analyze” how he woulld be getting “through the rest of this life” and how he could improve himself.

That is some serious thinking dude. Now that your tour is off the hook, it’s the perfect time to mull over everything you want to “analyze”.

Ttaylor Swift and Kanye West

It was one of the most embarrassing moments that Taylor Swift has ever been through. The singer herself was surprised as her name was announced as the winner of the Best Female Music Video in VMA on Sunday evening. While Swift was on the stage receiving her award for the same Kanye West suddenly broke in and snatched away the microphone from the country singer during her acceptance speech.

“Yo Taylor, I’m really happy for you, I’ll let you finish, but Beyoncé has one of the best videos of all time. One of the best videos of all time!” said West in a rude way.

Taylor looked completely lost and embarrassed, stanging motionless on the center stage. She perhaps did not know what to do as West continued his ranting speech. After sometime the audience took charge of the matter and booed the rapper down the stage. Swift was overtly upset with the whole mis-hap. Its been reported that she was comforted by her friends and family immediately after the incident.

West was immidiately asked to leave the show by a big-wig at MTV, reported a reliable source. But this has not shocked many present for the MTV’s Video Music Awards, 2009. Kanye has a track record of such erratic behavior in public shows. He is best at throwing tantrums during award shows.

In 2004, when Kanye won the award for the best rap album at the Grammys, he said in his acceptance speech, “A lot of people were wondering what I was going to do if I didn’t win anything. I guess we’ll never know”.

Taylor began her speech with “I alwaysI dreamed about winning this someday, but I never thought it would happen. I sing country music”, but couldn’t continue for long. Soon before she could understand anything her microphone was ripped away by West.

While Beyonce’s name was announced as the winner in the best video category of the year, she said, “This is amazing. I remember being 17 years old, up for my first MTV award with Destiny’s Child and it was one of the most exciting moments of my life, so I would like for Taylor to come out and have her moment”.

Taylor sportingly took the stage and said,  with a gracious smile, “Maybe we can try this again,” said, thanking “all of my fans on Twitter and MySpace and everyone who came out to my shows this summer.”

N Sync feat MJ on the 2001 VMA

Sunday, September the 13th, will be the night for this year’s MTV Video Music Awards. This year is being dubbed as the year for paying reverence to the Icon of popular music – Michael Jackson. Janet Jackson will be paying tribute to her brother on stage. Some sources also say of a possible gala celebration of MJ’s music by a group of artists.

MJ himself had had his share of amazing times in the awards show in the early years. In 1984 he won the awards for the Best Choreography and the Viewer’s Choice Award for “Thriller”. His performances in 1995 with Slash with the guitar and in 2001, the pop-n’-lock-meets-moonwalk with N Sync were some of the best VMA performances.

Although not much is revealed about the rendition by Janet, but it can be said it would be something immensely special. Hence, a word of advice … be ready to have tears in your eyes.

There will also be other performances by music artists like Kate Perry, Taylor Swift, Pink, Green Day, Muse’, Beyonce’ etc. This might not be in the form of tribute though.
