Thanks for all the kind replies, guys, and all the likes! I'm glad you all think as positive as I do! :)
well its true Adam is the sweetest and even though this happened a long time ago, people are still hating Adam for who he is. But he doesn't let this kind of stuff bring him down. I JUST LOVE ADAM LAMBERT WITH ALL MY HEART..............SORRY MY BF BUT ADAM HAS YOU BEET BY A LONG SHOT
Angek Starfield I agree, people need to stop hating on Adam!! I love him!
Angek Starfield I agree! I love and support Adam!
I like Adam Lambert not just because of his brilliant talent at music, the way he talks, or how good-looking he is; the fundamental reason is he's being himself. He's turely who he is, and he is honest with his music and himself.
It's really hard to please eveybody in this society, haters, stereotypes, and prejudice are eveywhere; however, for me, I'll always be his fan, standing here to listen to his voice and his music.
His actual personality is so different to his stage personality. And I never knew the kiss wasn't choreographed!
He is so adorable, protect him

He has proven to me that he's one of the most outstanding singers/performers and the sweetest most genuine person so he can do whatever the hell he wants on stage and I wouldn't mind cos I know that's just a persona. He's level headed, sophisticated, witty, humble... he's got a lot of substance and heart. I love him.
i don't think the audience was offended at all. it was the censors and the network. show was awesome!
10 years later, i’m still binging Adam videos!
loved the AMA performance. So what is so bad about it, if it feels so good? Oh wait- he is gay. Oh, then it is scandalous- America, get a grip. Adam is not the first one to walk the tightrope of controversy . And he does not walk- he dances on it.
Keep it up, Adam.
I love what you said - 'he does not walk - he dances on it' - Well said!
IamMaartje Tommy Joe is so damm sexy!! That’s what made it 👍
It was ok for Madonna and Christina and Britney to lock lips, hell Britney gave Madonna tongue and guys thought it was sexy, heck I thought it was sexy. But Adam kisses a guy and people were offended. Give me a break. I'm a Grand Mom of 12 grand babies and I LOVE ADAM.
it's not about kissing at all😂did Madonna put Britney's head on her crotch?😂
What a wonderfully honest interview. I've watched the 'controversial' performance online and with everything going on in the world they need to 'get over themselves' and pick an issue that is really concerning!!!
he is so well spoken !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
He's such a sweet kid :) But people canceled him just because of a damn kiss??? the hell is wrong with people???
I love how he acknowledges his questionable choice in the performance. Other stars would have tried to go around it and deny it, but he acknowledges it, learns from it and moves on. :)
-- yes, an example for all of us
Learn what? He did nothing wrong
@@popland1977this is a 10 yo comment 😂
Adam is so grounded, graceful, mature and humble about his talent, his success and the opportunities given to him. He is always very mature and BEAUTIFUL in and out. Independently of his sexual orientation (which is ultimately HIS choice and own business), as an artist and as a human being - he is exceptional !! I LOVE Adam !!!
Bitch sexuality is NOT a choice ok
happy free huh yeah it is hes choice who he wants to sleep with it's not your choice or mine so you dont have to hate and call names every one has there own opion and I am a glambert fan for life so get over it
totally agree with what Ellen said about being offended by sexuality
He greatly impressed me with his retrospect.
-- yes, he is so well spoken
Adam is awesome. His AMA performance was awesome. Keep it up dude! Be proud of yourself, always!
Ah, but ppl needed to see that performance (and they still do)!!!! The audience NEEDED this kiss and most of all ppl still need to get those sticks out of their asses and accept others for who they are.
schokischlecki1980 preach
He was so sweet. I liked his performance, but I wasn't sure it was the best first performance either. It was so brave of him to look back and be confident in what he did, but also be considerate of others' opinions.
I am always struck by his solid, grounded presence.
Ellen hit the nail on the head, it's ok for Beyoncé to be sexual on stage and Madonna at her age, be not Adam, because he's guy, America can be so backward, I loved his performance.
I love adam lambert, and I agree he shouldn't have appologized and i respect him for that.
I think he's Amazing too..I voted for him the whole time he was on Idol...hands down he should have won that
Love him. He's a great performer all round wonderful person. He was amazing in American Idol and such a star today!!
He is SO HOT!!! America needs to realize he was playing a character, like he said- he handled this interview PERFECTLY!!!!
I thanked Adam for what he did at AMA!:) Now people are loving him more bec. he is the real deal indeed!!:) Can't wait to watch him on X-Factor tomorrow.
3:45 SO CUTE
I like the way he says 'thank you' with that sweet smile of his. Stay strong, adam! We love you no matter what they say!
he is SOO cute...I just want to hug him and tell him how amazing he is!!!
I loved him then, and still love him now!!! He is perfection!
OH MY GOD HE IS HOT
Hell Yea
Brooke Rogers hell yes he is
I know right
which pixel is he
I loved him then and I love him now...he is amazing as a singer and as a person, just like Ellen said
I love him and his performances!! He's hot!!!
madonna and britney spears can do it. but he doesn´t. stupid society. i believe man in general like two women kissing but when is a two men....... what can we say...
What
It doesn't bother me to see two guys hold hands or kiss. I have two gay friends and we go to drag shows together. I'm their DD.
I agree. The problem is in the whole society and in the whole concept of what is right or wrong(or something between).
But that doesn't mean grilxgirl relationships are more accepted. They are more sexualized, that's different. It has a lot to do with sexism. Gay males are more "disrespected" because they are considered to be losing their "precious" masculinity.
As I recall, Madonna and Brittany kissing received a lot of backlash, was not perceived as ok or acceptable.
i love ellen's approach to everything and of course i came to this video for adam :)
Did he ask the guy beforehand if he could do it? If so and the guy agreed, then who cares??
Tommy told him he could do anything with him and was laughing after if i recall adam correctly
Been reading comments. I've loved Adam from the first moment on Idol auditions. Was not bothered by the kiss at the AMAs at all. I was bothered by the grabbing of a dancer's head and holding into thrusting crotch bit ... and I'd be uncomfortable seeing a female do that on a family hour program. What he did was a male version of Gaga, upped a couple of notches.
Great performance, wrong venue, especially as introduction to the general public, non-Idol watchers, as not the place to do a sadomasochistic performance. With the gifts he has of a truly incredible voice and beauty and charisma, I wish overt sexuality was not how he wants to brand himself, as I think he is so much more and cheapens himself. I went to the Idol tour show and it was same -- family show, lots of children, and he's using a mike between his legs a la masturbation. Were I a parent, I'd have been upset and I'd never take
my kids to an Idol tour again.
He goes on interview, displaying intelligence, manners, and sweet speech, so it's
a mega-mismatch with the screaming, overt sexuality in performance. That mis-match
increases the shock value.
Very nice of Ellen to have him on. Shame on GMA for the cancel. JMHO.
He can take me,
On the bed, on the floor
On a towel by the door
In the tub, in the car
Up against the mini-bar
It's his performance and he can do what he wants.
He is quite possibly one of the most gifted performers of his generation...if not THE most gifted. IMO
It wasn't too far! Screw everyone else, you rock Adam!!
I really don't care even if Adam is gay. He is a great, down to earth person with a rare and very beautiful talent and i will always support him through thick and thin. Look haters, even though he is gay, millions of girls fantasize about him so what do you say about that, and don't bother commenting if you just wanna criticize and get a life suckers..... GOOOOO GLAMBERTSSSS.
SINCERELY,
a very proud glambert.
Miley Cyrus did worse then him and I liked his and her performance it was kinda to much but Miley cyrus just.......went too far
lolol only if past you could’ve seen what future miley did
3:45 omg that is so adorable 😂😂
i love him to this day still
Bottom line people...we make stars! I have both his CDs and urge the public to go out and buy them at stores, or online! I get so sick of politics invading music, whether at business or personal levels. Was what he did wrong, or so egregious enough to ruin his career? It looks like someone is trying hard to do just that. I thought Adam would be the next Freddie Mercury, and he should be! If anyone should be on the chopping block, it should be record executives who don't give us what we the public want, who attempt to knock brilliant singers off stage, and for those who murder careers/hopes!
Adam really paved the way for artists everywhere. I mean just look at lil nas today and his performance.
I love this guy!!
Love Him! He's Amazing! 💖
He is so cute.
i love adam and that performance was awesome he did what he thought was right and i love him for that GO ADAM!
Oh he is lovely! And I think what Ellen said is right on! It was not that bad!! And the kiss is not a big deal. People kiss...big woop! The gyrating was a bit much but still not the worse we've seen.
I'm so agree with Ellen, he is so so beautiful and his voice... OMG !
0:15 "all around me are familiar faces?"
mad world :')
ellen I'm with you I love his voice as well
He seems happier here.Like then he was more happy and not as pushed.
Xtina, Britney and Madonna got the world speaking, controversial yes, but not in a bad way and simply because it was 3 straight women 'having fun' on stage etc, Adam done the exact same thing, and back then I was 'in the closet' as they say, but when i seen this performance i just thought THANK YOU ADAM it was about time the gay stereotype was broken and I think people need to realise that we are not diseased, we are human beings with feelings, and we have as much right to do this as anyone!!!
I loved his performance! he was hawt!
I love him! He is Beautiful...
I think him and Lady Gaga should collaberate on a song, or him and Ke$ha, or maybe all three. They both such unique ways of expressing their opionions and push the boundries of what artists are 'supposed to do.' I think his music is great and ppl should get a life, it's not like he was stipping naked on live tv or something (though some ppl prob wish he did).
adorable little cutie 😍😭😍❤
no this was over his performance at the AMA's where he kissed his keyboard dude and did some "dirty" dancing.
I Love Adam To Pieces! 💖
what a good coment to end the video ellen just awesome
I have the same birthday as Adam, January 29th!!
Loved him then, still love him
God, I am in LOVE with Adam Lambert.
Anything, and everything he does, just makes me love him more and more.
He's sooo gorgeous
Adam Lambert should be loved and respected for his music ! Keep his personal life out of the way . Let's all just enjoy his music and not judge him . Nobody's perfect.
And of course :
Wow--almost nine years ago? Things certainly have changed.
I remember this! Can someone send me a link to the performance!
God adam your amazing they just dont understand that A
A performance to remember....loved it 😉💜
Notice how he didn't say SORRY? not ONE time? Cause he shouldn't have to! Adam is gay who cares? There's so much more to him than who he chooses to be with! I LOVE YOU ADAM! so glad he never apoligized.
I really love Adam Lambert, and I think that the problem with the kiss was rediculous. However I have to admit that I understood the uproar over the sexual content. The imitating of oral with that guy, the leashes and overt use of BDSM I think took the kiss which obviously would have had controversy because of homophobes and catapulted it into one mass of over the top sex and dark and BDSM which is a controversial community in and of itself.
That being said I still love him and his music and think he's an amazing person^^ I'm so glad he was able to find a name for himself and life his artistic dream.
Two amazing people !!
Don't apologize ! It was freeking awesome! Adam all grown up, they weren't ready! 🇮🇪
I just think that he wanted to his concert his way. It wasn't about him being huge or not.
I love you Adam
I think he's ok nobody judge him.adam lambert fan 4 life!
I love you .. i love you ... without any conditions... you are truly beautiful inside out
You are you and don't change. I love you Adam!!!
Adam is amazing!
In hindsight, barely a speedbump lol. Had totally forgotten about it.
Same night, same show... Bruno Mars had a pole dancer while he sung a song called "My Gorilla" (what do you think that was about???)
But no backlash on Bruno for his performance. Certainly no canceled performances. Putting women's flesh out there for same is always ok...
i verry love adam I very much wanted to be there!I love him very much known songs by heart.LOVE ADAM!!!!!!
Yes
Haerlove
Yes do Love
You
Adam Lambert is such an amazing man and an amazing musician and such a wonderful beautiful person inside and out
It’s amazing looking back at this just 11 years later, how there was still an expectation to apologize for for such nonsense. I remember watching this all happen in my freshman year of HS, and thinking that that the outrage was normal. Not anymore.
It's ok Adam some people just don't get it.
Best performance ever to this date!!
I was wondering where my potato went... the cameraman stole it to film this.
Filmed through bricks 🤣
J'adore ce gars !!
@CyanideBaby7 In his shows, when he performances Fever, he kisses the bass guitar player passionately (Tommy -something). Some people thought it was wrong when he did it on TV,'cause there proably were kids watching. That's why he says he was not intended to offend anybody but he won't apologiza, 'cause he's not a babysitter, and if parents don't want their children to watch him kiss another guy, than it's their problem, not his :)
2019??
His hair thoughhhh
I'm so glad I went to his concert last year. (:
@BeatlesSeinfeld123 totally agree, and also whether he's gay or not, men aren't supposed to be sexy and use their sex appeal like women do, when do you see men dancing like pussycat dolls or wearing sexy outfits??
like he said female artists have used their sexuality for yeras its 2011 its time for men to do the same!!
Adam gorgeous!!!
Hard to watch this in 2021. It's painful to watch him having to explain kissing another man in today's climate. Him having to even talk about this as a taste level. Like a half apology. Love is love people ❤
He's so gorgeous.
Well, it's 2023 and I thought it was hot then and even hotter now. The lyrics are hot, the performance is hot and I love it. 🤘
i loved his performance :) it was awesome
