After Elton blog/Ed Kennedy of course also comments on the recent controversy, this time focus on the CBS blurring Adam’s guy-guy kiss on AMAs stage.
After his sexy American Music Awards performance, Adam Lambert had his scheduled appearance on ABC’s Good Morning America canceled. But he still got up early, to do the competing CBS Early Show. And the whole thing may have been the savviest move yet from the performer.
While he admitted the live performance got a bit more sexual than what he had rehearsed, he was quick to point out that it was nearly 11pm and “family hour” was over at 10pm, and kids should be in bed. He also takes a controversial (irony, people) stance that if parents were offended, maybe they should Tivo late night programs before allowing their children to watch them. Active parenting? Radical concept.
The thing that caught me was that in the intro to the interview, CBS ran a pretaped piece, with sound bites from a conservative who was outraged and an industry insider that said it was par for the course. And in that intro, they showed this picture from the 2003 MTV Video Music Awards (Madonna/Britney) But four minutes later in the interview, they showed Adam’s performance from the American Music Awards (blurred kiss).
