It's hard to be raunchy when you can hardly move.
Adam Lambert managed to rein in his performance on The Early Show this morning, but it's difficult to sexualize your musicians and dancers when the stage is teeny-tiny and you have no dancers.
That said, the star has no intention of apologizing for his much-discussed performance on the American Music Awards and wants to get one thing straight: he and Elisabeth Shue don’t have much in common.
For one thing, the American Idol runner-up is no babysitter.
"I'm not a babysitter. I'm a performer," he said.
He continued to discuss the "double standard" that exists between the reactions to him and other pop stars' performances Sunday night, listing Eminem's lyrics, Lady Gaga's antics and Janet Jackson's crotch-grabbing as arguably equally as shocking. He thinks his sexuality may have something to do with it.
"I don't think there'd be nearly as much of an outrage at all," he said. "I think it's because I'm a gay male and people haven't seen that before."
While he admits his adrenaline kicked in Sunday night and the excitement of the star-studded crowd "got the best of him," Lambert really only has one thing he would change if he had it to do all over again.
"I would sing a little better," he laughed. "I looked back and thought it wasn’t my best vocal performance."
And he did learn a valuable lesson. Next time, he says, he'll stick to what he did in rehearsal.
Unfortunately, he had nothing to say about Good Morning America's big diss. That, coupled with the performances that were about as controversial as Kris Allen strumming his guitar, made us really excited to see the baby panda they kept teasing all morning. Now that was cute!
