Sadly, but not surprisingly, ABC reports it has received upwards of 1,500 complaints about the live performance Sunday evening of American Idol runner up Adam Lambert at the American Music Awards, a performance that seemed so carefully crafted so as to shock, including a male on male kiss that Lambert left out of rehearsals. Lambert, whose ambiguous sexual orientation – he is gay, but not too gay – continues to be a source of criticism, appeared to want to deliberately confront those in the gay community who see him as less than a hero and also to announce to middle-America that he is indeed a homosexual.
