Adam Lambert’s sexually-charged performance of his latest single ‘For Your Entertainment’ at the American Music Awards featured the singer simulating oral sex with a male dancer, making out with one of the band members and plenty of crotch grabbing. Naturally, he’s the subject of controversy. The American Idol alum responded to all the critics saying “You know honestly, if I offended some people… it’s apples and oranges. I’m not an artist that does things for every single person. I believe in artistic freedom and expression, I believe in honoring the lyrics of a song, and those lyrics aren’t really for everybody either. There’s a big double standard, female pop artists have been doing things provocative like that for years, and the fact that I’m a male, and I’ll be edited and discriminated against could be a problem. People are scared and it’s really sad, I just wish people could open their minds up and enjoy things, it’s all for a laugh, it’s really not that big of a deal.”
