    American Idol runner-up Adam Lambert feels discriminated against because ABC edited out his wet kiss with his male keyboardist during his Sunday performance to conclude the American Music Awards in Hollywood.
    Lambert’s controversial performance also included pulling a man’s face to his crotch area.


    ABC ran the entire performance during the live Sunday broadcast for East Coast viewers, but the network edited out Lambert’s risqué kiss for the later broadcast on the West Coast. Additionally, ABC’s Good Morning America cancelled Lambert’s scheduled performance this week.
    Adam calls it discrimination because he said women have gotten away with lip-locking during televised performances.
    He probably was alluding to Madonna’s French kisses with Britney Spears and Christina Aguilera at the 2003 MTV Video Music Awards.

    The difference is the ladies pulled their stunt on cable TV, and Adam committed a Janet&Justin snafu on network television, which is a no-no.
    Besides, girl-on-girl is considered hot, and man-on-man is not.
    Nevertheless, Adam would have been fine had he kissed a man on cable TV.

    Remember comedic actors Will Ferrell and Sasha Baron Cohen kissed at the mic and fell to the floor lip locked at the MTV VMAs in 2007, and this summer rapper Eminem nearly kissed Sasha’s butt when the pals staged the actor’s bottoms-up, bare bootie fall into Em’s lap.
    Adam’s antics would have been celebrated on MTV. He should make note of his error in judgment and be aware of the platform he’s performing on if he ever gets the privilege of closing out another prestigious show.
