Adam Lambert will make "minor adjustments" to Glam Nation concert after concern by Islamist opposition party

Posted at : Monday, October 11, 2010
The Islamist opposition party in Malaysia has called for the cancellation of Adam Lambert's Glam Nation concert scheduled for Thursday. "Adam Lambert's shows... are outrageous, with lewd dancing and a gay performance that includes kissing male dancers, this is not good for people in our country," Pan Malaysian Islamic Party Youth leader Nasrudin Hasan said.
ETA: Adam responds on twitter: "While I don't believe that my glamnation tour is in any way offensive I have agreed to make a few minor adjustments out of respect for the Malaysian government. Looking forward to a fun show...Does my show "promote the gay lifestyle"? It promotes living ANY lifestyle that includes the freedom to seek love and intimacy. Gay, straight, bi, young or old. It's all inclusive...plus, what's THE gay lifestyle? There isnt just one. There are so many different kinds of gay people. We have a variety of different lifestyles. There's not only one lifestyle lived by straight folks. Generalizing...."

In my opinion, I think Adam should cancel that concert. I don't want any of those "weirdos" and wackos attacking him (emotionally and physically). I'm all for Adam's safety FIRST.
Maybe Adam can tour Malaysia when the country improves? I never respect a country when their law says homosexuality is a crime etc etc. Is that country still stuck in the 18th century?
But I love the Malaysian Glamberts there who support Adam all the way. <3
Adam should cancel nothing! How does that help? Adam is smart. He needs to continue what he is doing. Minor adjustments without compromising his artistry are fine. It's done all the time. Gaga did that when she presented to the Queen. Adam fans know that his talent is so great that all he has to do is stand up there and sing. The rest of it is just fun and glitz. I admire Adam so much for his intelligent stance. He is a hero.
At least they told him ahead of time, giving him a chance to change a few things. It would have been a lot worse if he found out afterwards, like the AMA show. So I assume no kissing, and no bumps and grinds, which still leaves him with a great show, that they should enjoy. Might have to tame Brooke down a little when she is introduced. Its not the first time he has done this, he usually does change things for a family oriented show. He might leave out FYE. His voice carries the show anyway.
I have complete confidence in Adam and his decisions. He is, after all, extremely intelligent.
I'm sure all who attend will experience a once in a lifetime show.

IMO... Adam should go ahead with GN show and show them his enormous God given talent. BOWING OUT is admission of guilt which Adam is not guilty of!!!
2:23 - You're so right!! We don't need heroism at the expense of Adam's safety, and you cannot, I repeat, cannot, guarantee his security in these Islamic countries. I'm so sorry a concert was booked here. I'll rest when his plane leaves Malaysia.
his concert will be ok-dam malaysia a muslim place.virgin country- no commonse sens country ;
malysian fans of adm lambert will be happy and enjoy his songs. concert.
I thought Malaysia was dominated with Chinese people (Most Chinese people are athesits)? Since when did it become a Muslim country?
All Adam's VIP have sold out there in Malaysia, so somebody loves him there. Why did they invite him in the first place. They knew totally what type of performanc he would give. This is total BS. He doesn't have to do the kiss, but I hope he does. It's entertainment, not a political statement. Adam is a performer. If someone doesn't like it, don't go! And don't watch the videos. This whole thing is really pissing me off. Yes, be respectful but not at the cost of sacrificing who you are and what you do. I trust Adam totally. And just in case some of you don't know, there are plenty of Islamic conservatives in Europe.
Oh i was surprised when i read the title ..O.O
I'm a Muslim but of course i don't live in Malaysia ..
i don't think that Adam should cancel the show but i think he should don't kiss and make stuff like this just to respect the people ..
By the way in our religion .. anything against our nature like being gay is taboo .. but we don't care if anyone else is gay if the person is not Muslim =)
Gui
When an American arrives in another country, they are under scrutiny unlike no other. That an openly gay American entertainer is going to a muslim country to perform is an atrocity for that country. Adam's every word and movement will be under a microscope with Kuala Lumpur hoping to find something so they can make an example of him. What will they do with/to him? I don't even want to think of the possibilities.
Oh and Malaysia is a Muslim country and the Governor is Muslim too .. for your info.
Gui
Don't forget he didn't show this side of himself on A I. He has done the family oriented show many times, and it doesn't hurt a thing. The kissing is not a political statement, but it is a gay statement, which is why he does it.It may entertain you, but he has said many times he doesn't want to offend anyone
I read on this site that homosexuality is illegal in Montana. Is that correct? Montana isn´t a muslim state is it?
Its not only Muslims who object to homosexuality, almost all religious people object. Adam would have 3 times as many fans if all his shows were family oriented.
First of all, if the people who are offended by Adam's performances, why in the hell are they waisting their money going to his concert? I think Adam has enough fans that will fill his shows that he doesn't need closed minded people there in the first place. If you like it, the go see it. If you don't, then stay home! It's called freedom of choice people!
LP 2:28 I hope the dancers don't perform with Adam at all. Way too provocative for a muslim country.
2:48 Most Chineese people are Buddist.
3:04 Homosexuality is NOT illegal in Montana? Who told you that?
Adam is opening new horizons. He knows what he is doing. Disagree with 2:49 he 'should not' kiss Tommy, that's like shoving their face in it. Not a good idea. Malaysia is predominately a Muslin Country, this Islamic faction PAP, are extremists. Now we all know our man took on GMA, the network, FCC and half the Country and stood firm. This is the Adam we know and love. However, I am sure he realizes he is in a part of the world, where women are stoned o death for adultery. Very glad he said he was toning down the show, why get innocent people hurt. Pompoustic is not a real word, pretty sure.
Anon 3:08. You stated my point exactly. They are offended and they do not waste their money on Adam. He would have even more fans if all his show were for families.His audiences are not filled with people who are offended.These are not terrosists they are Muslims, who for the most part are peaceful people. There are millions of them in the USA, Even the president is a muslim.
LP@3:02 Adam has also said "If I offended anybody...tough shit."
I dont think its the fans 3.08 its the government.
I wish he wasnt going there at all, but seeing he is as we all know he is not one to back down but also that he is a respectful guy, so will do what needs to be done.
On a positive note he will be more than ready to let rip by the time he gets here to NZ and Australia
Keep safe Adam and Glamily, and hurry up and get the hell out of there.(Taylor, no more bullets in bags)
ADAM LAMBERT YOU ARE ONE SMART COOKIE!
Almost all of American Idol winners have toured in Malaysia, with no problems. Even the 208 winner went there( can't think of his name right now) lol
I don´t want a family oriented Adam. I want Adam exactly like he is, exciting and glorius. He was exciting on AI, totally diffrent from the boring lot of family friendly karaoke singers. If he wasn´t gay, he wouldn´t be the same loving, sweet amazing personality. And FYI: homosexuality is NOT against nature. How can it be, especially if you believe God created earth and all the creatures in it.
Eva
In muslim countries, they kill homosexuals by stoning. They dig a hole deep enough so that the person to be stoned can stand in it. Then the stonee is placed in the hole and it is filled up with dirt so their head and neck are not covered. Next the stoners pick up small stones and throw them at the head of the stonee. The small stones (not rocks) are used to inflict as much pain and suffering until the person dies from being hit with the stones. It can take up to a few hours. The stonings are announced well in advance so that there are many stoners and observers. It has become the muslim world's favorite spectator sport!
This is something that goes back to biblical times and thus the proverb: "Let him who is without sin cast the first stone." Which means that no one will cast the first stone because there is no one without sin.
I can't wait until he is out of there and safe and sound in New Zealand. I was kind of surprised when GNT was scheduled in Philipine and Malaysia. There are a lot of Muslims in Philipines as well. But thank God the concert went well there and he is safe in Hong Kong. Malaysia isn't like middle eastern countries but still has a lot muslims and I'm sure his promoters knew the situation in this country when they booked him there. Let's all be positive and send out positive vibes to Adam. Hope he lives immediately once he is done with his show! Do I sound Islamphobic? I hope not!

Barak Obama is not a muslim.
Wow. Adam is one very brave boy. His responses above are brilliantly worded. In light of those responses the Malaysian government would look very foolish and mean-spirited stepping in against Adam in any way. The eyes of the world, and the world's youth, will be on him for this performance. Adam is a real hero to me, a true AMERICAN treasure. To me, Adam is serving as a bellweather for how healthy our own US Constitution and our democracy are at this point in time. I know he does not want to be in this role. It's sort of been thrust on him, and in large part because so many people adore him. All Adam needs to do is be himself. He's very wise. An interesting development on National Coming Out Day, don't you think? I can't help but think the Zeitgeist is primed for Adam.
Oh, but I do hope security is EXTREMELY tight for Adam and his crew. Does anyone know if the US Embassy there is also seeing to it that this US citizen is being protected under these somewhat threatening circumstances (possible protests against a highly visible and known entertainer)? Does anyone in Adam's fan base know Hillary Clinton?

Eva: You and I believe that homosexuality is not against nature because God created all that is in nature. However, you and I are not muslim. There is an ironic part to this. My nephew was in the Gulf War (when we ousted Sadaam Hussein) then went back to Iraq and is now in Afghanistan. He has told my husband that every boy in those two muslim countries has been raped by his father, uncles and older brothers by the time he is 7. It's one of those "dirty little secrets" that keeps being perpetuated every generation, but remember, they hate homosexuals. I don't get it either.
Anon 3:41 maybe your nephew has been traumatized by the war. Many US soldiers committed suicide after the Gulf war.
Kentucky fan: What a positive person you are. I admire you greatly. You are a beacon of light in a darkened sea...I mean this with all sincerity.
With this being said, all the security that can be mustered won't keep Adam safe if it comes to that. We have to remember that he has three strikes against him at this moment in time. He is American, he is Jewish and he is gay. Very volatile combination in a muslim country.
Timothy McVeigh was a Gulf war veteran too.
Anony@3:50 What? I have no idea what you are talking about or what you are trying to say. There is no continuity in your answer with regard to my statement. Can you clarify? Or am I just stupid?
The Muslim Opposition party is the second most powerful in Malaysia but first in anti-gay rhetoric. It is against their religion and they combine religion with political affiliation. They are threatening to proselytise Malaysian concert goers - I am concerned for them because there is no telling to what extent they will go to "turn" them into Muslims. I will be glad when Adam and his troupe' are safely out of there! The religious right wing here sound alot like the Muslims. ABC had the audacity to report this in an article. What do they think they did after the AMAs?
3:58 It sounds to me like military brainwashing technique, to claim that all fathers rape their sons there. Makes it easier for the soldiers to kill if they are made believe the enemy are like beasts.
Anon 3:50 and 3:55
I have the feeling that you are one and the same so I will address you as such. Did a big cute guy in a United States Military uniform do a number on you? Hurt your feelings? Leave you at the altar? Had to have been something very personal and hurtful that you would bring up suicides after the Gulf War and that McVeigh was a vet of that war. You a member of that group that likes to go to protest at funerals of dead soldiers? What's your gripe with the Gulf war? Bush hater? You need to get a life and speak in paragraphs, not sentences. You leave the reader with a big wtf was that about!
3:58
I must say I agree with you. It´s not uncommon to use that method to make the enemy less than human. It seems very unlikely that muslim fathers would rape their own sons. How bizarre is that?
3:58 I just loooooove bleeding heart liberals. They don't realize that without the American soldier and his ability to fight for his country they would be speaking either German or Japanese at this moment.
Also, when your door is being broken down by a thief armed with a knife, don't get your gun, (oops, sorry, I forgot, you don't own a gun, do you) call 911, they'll be there in 20 minutes or so depending on where you live.
When you're in a foreign country, you abide by their customs. Adam knows that. Too bad some of his fans don't. In the first place, he doesn't NEED to do anything but sing really. He has the vocal chops to sing any kind of music, unlike some of the pop stars on the circuit today.
As for the trolls here, no comment is probably the best policy with them.
Anon @ 4:14 you sound so misguided. I could really whip out my tongue and go to town ripping you a new one but I won't. You are clearly a product of your own, sad environment.
FYI: It's cool to have the balls to make statements like yours, but only if you can attach your name. It's purely chicken crap to hide behind the "anonymous" tag.
And by the way, you can't count: He's been riding high for the past 18 months, and there's no end in sight. That's much longer than "his 15 minutes". Clearly you wanted your own 15 minutes with this post.
I wish you a much more enlightened journey than the one you're on.
Serena: You go girl! There are about 700 of us behind you. You said it all. Good on ya!
Adam is very intelligent, and he will not take any chances with his dancers, band, crew, or himself. He can tone it down a lot and the important part of his concert will still be intact.....his fantastic voice. I agree....maybe the dancers will be a little too sexy, and I really don't know how they can tone it down and still keep the flow, but hopefully everyone will tone down. I attended two of the GN concerts......loved them.......but if Adam had just sat on that staircase or stool and sang all the songs, I would have loved it as much as I did with all the glitz. This is a perfect opportunity for Adam to show the world how savvy he is and how talented he also is. Tone it way down BB.....don't take any chances with people that are so explosive. Honest Adam, an acoustic concert would be mindblowing! Be safe, be smart and knock them out with your raw voice!!! Love you Adam
It's all fun and games until someone "assumes" and makes and ass out of themselves.
FYI Anon 4:14,4:38, I'm 22 years old.
Curious if your "church" condones your bullshit behavior?
And again, too afraid to put your name = old dried up testicles to me.
Believe me, no one on this site wants 15 minutes with you either.
Oh how boring this "15 minutes" idiot is. The same BS in every thread. If I want to be even more bored and depressed I go to Perez Hilton and read the comments there. I loose faith in humanity very quickly, and I´m sorry to say it seems that most of the haters there are "good ol´americans". But I guess you can find them everywhere. And the good ones you find here :-)
Eva
Adam has cancel this concert or he needs to wear bulletproof vest and to stay surrounded by bodyguards. I know what can happen if you make upset muslims. I went through it and was magic how I and my family was survied. Also, the problem is the police because if something happen they would shoot everybody around, they don't care on which side of this demostration you are. Cops just like to play with there guns, just give them a chance. Pray for you, Adam
delilah5
Calm down everyone.....don't give Anon 4:14 and 4:38 ANY response. They are just a troll on here, trying to get a response out of Adam's fans. IGNORE THEM.......... Adam would!
4:14 I'll give you mine - Holy Cross Lutheran, Cerritos, CA.
Did you know that there are homosexuals in every mammal species on earth? Do they choose?
If and I stress if your point is proven, how on earth will all of us old cougars with dried up crotches know it's your point? Every great seer and all prophets are known by their names so they can prove how powerful and all knowing they are. Show us how omniscient you are instead of acting the coward.
Maybelle
Eva, I agree with you about the perez Hilton site and the vile comments that man has to endure! That's why I never want anything about Adam there because I know it will bring out all the maggots to dump on him. The internet is indeed a cowards canvas. Adamluv
@3:52 Thank you so much for your lovely comments. I had also thought about the Jewish part. I am somewhat scared about Adam's safety. This also comes at a time when the US government has put travelers to Europe on alert due to exta "noise". I'm not meaning to over-react, but we want this hero to be alive and well for many, many, many years to come. Does anyone here know Adam's mother? I wish Adam's mom would call Hillary Clinton to apprise her and her staff about this dicey situation.
@4:02 Re: the hypocracy of ABC releasing an article on the Malaysian Islamists. I've checked into the comments made on the article on the ABC site. Did you know they have deleted comments--nearly all of which were calling ABC out on their hypocracy? At one time there were at least 9, but last I looked there were only 2! One of the comments gone missing: "Malaysian Islamists and ABC share something in common".

Just want to apologize to Admin for my "testicles" comment @ 4:48. The guy just angered me with his incorrect assumption. I'll try to keep it clean.
This is a tough one!! I am from a country surrounded with Arab contries that Hate us. I am worried for Adam. The fundamentalists amongs them are CRAZY!!! I Will be sad for decades if anything happen to Adam. So, my heart say,don't go. but my mind say, go and do it for the fans who LOVE you! I HOPE AND PRAY THAT HE HAS THE best SECURITY!! WE SHOULD ALL twitt him to be extra SAFE!!1
IF
Ok, we are dealing with a different breed of religion/belief here. As far as those haters in the US are no comparison to this one plus Adam is in their country. Totally different situations and laws. I am seriously worried for Adam and the rest of the crews safety! If they are in North America dealing with Muslims... different story. They are in their territory... you can't control what could happen! Who knows how reliable their police men are! They could just pick any wrong move that Adam makes & then what?! I wish Adam just cancels and don't need to prove any point for their own safety.
don't worry about adam he will do what he has to do. he cares about what he does and the way he performs in any situation. so he will be ok in malaysia
I am a God-loving, church going liberal. I hope those that 'hate' gays remember that in the Bible it says that we are ALL God's children. I repeat: ALL GOD'S CHILDREN! What would you do if you had a child or grand-child who was gay?
Are you even aware that because of the pesticide Atrazine, male frogs are turning into females? There are plenty of scary things that we don't even know about like this that may be the reason behind homosexuality. Do you really think someone would chose to be gay? I choose to like someone for their inner beauty regardless of sexuality.
Serena I'm here with 700 behind again and your comment at 4:48 was not out of line. Admin here is very wise and not at all going to jump you. I giggled when I saw what you wrote. Good on ya again!
Holy Cow! Another Holy War! Can't escape anywhere on this earth it seems. Post at 3:07 suggested that Adam not be gay. That's the answer, change your orientation like you do religion. These post are all done out of love for Adam, but the news stories are purely sensationalism. Malaysia should not have invited Adam to perform, and wouldn't have if he were not popular artist in their Country. These PAP Islamic extremists are not going to arrest, stone or harm Adam. If they do, it will create an international incident, which is about the last thing these countries want right now. There is always Bill Clinton if something were to happen to Adam or his crew. This thing is so totally out of control.
I know Adam will be smart and not push the envelope. If he tweeted it, then he get's it. I do wish he would have skipped this one though, as much as I would hate those fans to miss one in their country. Just want him and his entourage safe!
Americans are haters because they are human beings just like the rest of the lousy human beings out there. Who doesn't hate? Very few. The hate gene is in everyone, but some have evolved to repress it and present a face of civility.
Homosexuality is a threat to straight men, period. Look at the guy running from the GOP for governor of NY. He thinks it's disgusting that a couple guys gyrate. Bet he'd like to watch a couple chicks doing the same while swinging his bat. It's totally a double standard because it's a freaking man's world.
God forbid, a man might get turned on by penis or by watching sexuality between two men. As a straight woman, I find it hot to watch two men just like men enjoy watching women. This is not complex people. And it's not a religious issue.
It's about scared men who rule a male dominated society abusing women. They want their women totally covered so they are not aroused. Who gives a sh*t about the women or their needs.
Yes, I know I'm ranting. Just tired of the hypocricy saying homosexuality is anti-God or anti-whatever. It is what it is. Just check your local library for some medical books on endocrinology. People are born with genitals from both sexes or other aberrations. Their sexual orientation is genetically determined. Sure, people can choose to marry someone from the opposite sex and be miserable their whole lives. It happens all the time.
Does this make it right? No. As long as two people love and respect each other, they should be together with no prejudice. This is not a religious issue. "God" does not make 15%-20% of humans (who knows the real number) gay so they can be persecuted.
Did you read Adams tweets. He's so stubborn. Where did he get that gay lifestyle remark? Has he been reading 50 Cents tweets :D Anyway, I suppose the contract is for the performance only and not off stage private person.
Adam, Adam, take it all in. All this free press, and all you had to do is agree to do a show in a Country that has Islamic nut jobs. Unfortunately a great many Countries in this part of the world experiencing similar problems. This poison spreading all over the place. Wonder what poison I'm talking about. Take a guess.
How do you guys know that anon 3:41's nephew isn't telling the truth? Very presumptuous of you - and also not fair.
Anony 3:41 I think 60 minutes or some other news magazine had a story on this subject. They all have their boys. I remember them interviewing a teen, and he said he can't wait to grow up to have his own boy. What are we to make of this. It's OK to be a homosexual pedaphile??? I guess so.
@2.48
The chinese are very religious and spiritual.
Just research. Use the Internet, or maybe visit a library. You would be surprised the amount of information there. Take everything with a grain of salt, but don't dismiss reality even when you don't like it.
What in the hell is family oriented above poster? What does that mean. No sex?? Separate beds like Lucy and Ricky. No copulation. No babies. No civilization. Get real.
Dear God
Just keep him safe.
Sorry, but can't resist asking what do you think about the New Age religion or is it a religion, that India has spread all over the world?
Anon. 5:35. Are you talking about the pesticide that made him gay?
I don't know.....too dangerous! Not worth it! But he is going to perform so we all need to put white light around him, and the security needs to be beefed up to the max in and around the stadium as well as metal detectors.
Let's envision total protection for our Adam while in Malaysia. He will give the performance of a lifetime! Bless you Adam! We adore you!!!
Anon 5:46 PM, "New Age" religion? What is it?
You know, the New Age religion that is supposed to replace all other religions.
Anon @ 5:35, what are you talking about?
I am Adam Lambert's fan. I live in Malaysia. I am going to his concert. And I am a Muslim. PAS is the opposition party and not the governing party in Malaysia. They protest any damn thing. I recalled I attended one foreign concert where PAS was protesting. I was there and there so call protest was PAS members (15-20 people) giving out flyers and preaching about something outside the concert hall. Every concert goers ignore them. And nobody stone anybody in Malaysia.
THANK YOU 6:31 How nice to hear from someone who really knows. Sounds like our very own Westboro Baptist Church. They are few in number but make a lot of noise.
I'm sure you made a lot of people feel better about Adam's show. Enjoy the concert!!!
I’m from Malaysia (and a Muslim woman too! Go hide your kids, hide your wife, hide your husbands! I’m gonna rape them all!!!* lol) and some of the above comments really, really pissed me off. Sure, we have Islamic political parties and homosexuality is against the law here, so what? Adam is not the first celebrity to perform here. You still get back your Mariah Carey, Muse, Gwen Stefani, Avril Lavigne, Brian Molko, Gerard Way, Kelly Clarkson, Kris Allen (and loads of other celebrities) in one piece even after they’ve performed here. I can’t believe my ears, eyes etc too when I heard that Adam’s coming to KL (and the news came in the holy month of Ramadhan! *shudder*) PAS could’ve protested there and then if they knew about Adam and his stage antics but no. They waited until a week before the show to protest and threaten to cancel the concert, which is pretty lame by my standard. (Note to PAS: Be more proactive!)
My point is, PAS have and always will protest to any concert in Malaysia, for the fear that it will bring social ills and set a bad example to the youngsters. And yes, we have our own constitution, rules and regulations but I believe that Adam is one smart cookie ~ he’ll know what to do! Can’t wait to see you in Bukit Jalil. And don’t worry, I’ll be armed with glitter and lace; not AK-47 and a C4. :-)

*if you’re clueless about this, Google up ‘Antoine Dodson’.
PS: ‘Stoned to death?’ That shit only happens if you get too high on drugs.
Before Adam performed like he did in GN tour(kissing ,stroking and all) he still did brilliant in Idol w/o it.Adam wore codpiece and performed once then later w/o make up and all,just sit there and still did brilliant performance.Glad he can tolerate and respect others bcoz w/o all sexy and hot scene(which I drool watching everytime) I still believe he gonna kill that night!He is after all Adam Lambert!!!He is the most versatiles performer that I ever witness!He has to come.Many will heartbroken if he doesn't!
I wish today is Friday, do not see this coming and realize how hard the path Adam has to face. Just be safe and show the world what music is about.
Well, Well. Another thread gone Shitty, Shitty
Bang, Bang!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
@anon 7:21 PM I agree with you. Wish Adam will be save and we see him in many show and AWARDS!

When in "Japan" do what the Japanese do? That old saying is just a common statement that is made out of respect when visiting another countrys. We have to be mindful of their traditions. Adam should be mindful and not disappoint his "fans" at that location. No one wants harm to come to Adam ofcourse not. He shouldn't be offended by this because he is a smart cookie. Now would I return to that country again...I might stay clear if I felt it just did not work out. Let those people who really want to see him travel to the states to see him in the future. Now is not the time to rebel and get our nose out of joint. Just a few days ago we were the American prudes according some countries more liberal than the states. Adam's road is long and hard. Sometimes I wish I could take a magic wand and erase all the hate and judgement toward people who just are trying to live the best life they can. Baby Steps...Baby steps! About 95% of the planet supports and loves him; this is just a minor bump inthe road and I will be glad when his plane takes off and he can look back with his head held high.
Once more, I am asking, what is "shitty, bang bang?"
Wonder what Adam thinks about John Lennon's song Imagine. Would love to hear Adam sing it. Seems appropriate, especially now.

I always laugh when I hear that a country or a person is "against" homosexuality or that it should "outlawed." That's like outlawing blue eyes or flat feet. It's what you are inside, not necessarily what you DO. A person can be completely celibate their whole life and still be gay, just like a straight person can be completely celibate and still be straight. A sex act doesn't make you gay or straight. It's what you are inside, how you're born. So, there's no "outlawing" it. A person is always what they are, regardless of whether they act on it or not. "Outlawing" homosexuality doesn't make it go away.
6:54 - So nice to hear from Malaysian Adam fans. Thanks for setting things straight and apologize for anything said that was offensive.
Just a couple of questions if you're still there. If the PAS is insignificant, why is Adam changing part of his show. We don't know yet what he is changing, but it is clear he feels he can't do his normal routine.
Why would a country make homosexuality illegal? People being punished for expressing love is just flat wrong. It's OK to kill but not to love.

Malaysian Fan, thank you so much for clearing the air for many worried fans here. Those informations are very useful for us to understand Adam's decisions and we just have to trust him this time. Glad to know that you will be ready with your glitters! Btw I adore Carmen Su. She appeared once in a tv series(abscbn) in Manila, just couldn't recall exactly when. There were other Malaysian actors and actresses who where very good in that show. I also have Malaysian friends here.
Even if Adam tones it down out of respect for your culture, i know that it will still be a stellar performance. After all, what he needs to do is just sing his heart out for all his Malaysian fans. Hope you have a blast.

@8.44,
He isn't changing his show for the PAS, he signed a contract with the Government that all the artists who go and perform there have to agree with, like non revealing clothing, and I presume kissing (of any sex).
I agree.........Adam would be wonderful singing John Lennon's Imagine. Here on John's 70th birthday, his song is so revelant today........
would love to hear those words coming from Adam's lips. God.......take care of Adam and Co.
To the Malaysian fans that have commented, thanks for putting a voice of reason in this thread. Malaysia is a beautiful country with great people. Yes its a muslim country, but like all relgious places, most people are fine, good people and want to enjoy music and concerts like everyone else. All countries have their fanatics that cause problems for everyone else - even the States.I'm sure Adam realised what he was letting himself in for when he agreed to play there.

Anon 6:31 thank you for your on site, voice of reason. I hope that you all have a great concert.
Take care of our precious Adam and have a great concert!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
its a good thing that ADAM was forewarned abt the protest in his show in Malaysia, due to some of its lewd moves and acts incorporated in the repertoire. Cant blame their government and besides
Adam and his touring team are visitors so might as well adhere to some of its conservatism. thank you Adam for also adjusting and taming some of your sensual moves just for sake of not offending the involved folks! GLAM ON AND GLAM SAFE TOO! love you Adam, we miss you here in Manila already...

Ms_Mars I can feel your adoration for our boy and I am just thrilled to know that he has many fans in Manila. The decent crowd size at the MOA which is a huge venue is a clear validation that Manila loves Adam. It may not be a sold-out GNT but on a Sunday at a very far venue, with very minimal concert promotion plus the pricey tickets,we can already say that the turnout is remarkable.It is nice to find a fellow Filipina who gets Adam as well.Kind regards.

It's ignorance and fear that gets everthing out of context. What kind of faith do people have in Adam? He is quite capable of knowing what's expected. He is an intelligent world traveller...
and NOT 2 years old! He is one incredible guy who is taking the entire world by storm and doing it his way, beautifully. Of course going to KL is out the box and barrier breaking, and has been for many entertainers,.... but now Adam is educating and changing the world everywhere he travels.
Plus the US need to wise up themselves when it comes to acceptance. Take the AMA's for instance and not being able to release 2 singles because of 'offending' lyrics! Boy, is it time for the world to change!
I always laugh when I see Americans refer to adam as their boy. Funny because international fans says exactly likewise. I don't think anyone owns adam, he belongs to the entire planet.
Yes sometimes I wonder if fans actually know Adam Lambert because they sure don't act that way.
Shitty, Shitty Bang Bang is a nasty take on Mary Poppins song Twitty Twitty Bang Bang.
7:52: Where do you get your information? "95% of the planet supports Adam." Woa, that's a tall order when 95% of the US or the UK don't support him. Also, it's "when in Rome, do as the Romans do." you've got your metaphors mixed.
6:54 You say you are a Muslim woman from Malasia. You must not practice the Islamic religion of the Kuran if you are going to this concert. No one can call themselves muslim unless they practice Islam. Your brqa must be hiding in the closet as well. You've also got your english too polished and your slang down too pat for me to believe you are anything but an imposter.
10:42 It concerns me that Adam had to sign an agreement with the "government" to tone down his performance. Where else in the world has that been necessary? Name a western country that has such strict guidelines on entertainment and I'll rail against Adam ever performing there as well.
10:43
Don't know where you live, but John Lennon was born on October 9, 1940, in the UK
Hey 10:25 am sorry I was just using that as an example I wasn't trying to be perfect like you! I was just trying to bring a positive spin to tone down all the negative crap you put on here. I really believe the good people are in the 95% club and not the one you are in. Why are you even on this tread? Are you really fan and have Adams best interest at heart?Or are just on here to correct our English and make fun of peoples comments all the time. Well guess what you and people like you do not and will not effect my day in the least!
Anon 10.25: People like you should go out more often and see the world from a different view. Yes, I’m a Muslim, I wear headscarves and my English is a little ‘too polished’ compared to yours (I’m a professional who used to be a straight –A student, so sue me!). It just happen that I love this talented singer who happens to be a gay Jewish guy so may God forgive me for trying to have some fun with my friends.
Ah, screw this. Why do I even bother replying to a troll?
Ps: I love Adam but certain fans like these makes me sick. You always talk about embracing our differences and yet, you can’t accept other people with different views from yours. Grow the f*ck up, dude.
@Bing, Oct 11; 10.34pm
Thanks for the wishes! I have pen-pals in the Philippines too! And my mom loves Jericho Rosales. She said that my son will grow up to look just like him! :-)
ps: Adam can stand on the stage and recite my phone bill and we will still scream like maniacs, lol!
Malaysian fan
Anon 10.25am: I think you mean Chitty Chitty Bang Bang.
Malaysian Fan
I'm glad to know that you also have friends here. Well your son must be very handsome because we've seen Jericho once in our favorite restaurant in the heart of Quezon City. Carmen is a very good actress and the longer you look at her the more you see the beauty that comes from within.
So will you go to the airport coz i think a blogger wrote about his flight details? That would be fun if you could. And you are right, even if he doesn't do anything at all people couldn't contain themselves in the presence of his gloriousness. I remember he was paid 5 figures just to sit in a club and smile and whatever.
Please take good care of our bb and make sure he gets all the love he deserves from his Malaysian fans. Maraming Salamat!

Thanks 6:35pm - it is always amusing when someone claims a known phrase and gives it a twist when they didn't have it right in the first place. Kinda sounds like my 3 yr. old who loves to get the animals mixed up when singing Old MacDonald and cracks up on the floor like she's the greatest comedian ever!! Twitty Twitty Bang Bang - now that's memorable!!
Bing
That wasn't a blogger. She's a writer for a local magazine.
I wish I could join the fans who will be welcoming him at KLIA, but I'm working right now (and commenting on 24/7 at the same time, LOL!) And don’t worry about him, I’m sure the organizers will do their best in ensuring his safety (as well as his whole Glamily!) Terima kasih to you too! ;-)
Malaysian fan
ps: I got my Glam package yesterday (from the official fan club). Am feeling soooo excited!
Malaysian Fan
Oh I see. Yes i can relate with the excitement and just couldn't wait for your recap. Please come back to us no matter how long it takes. We would understand since it's a weekday plus the hangover.
Wow those must be some interesting stuff you got. Just one more sleep and it's party time!

@10:25, Why so insulting to the Muslim woman and so negative? Nastiness on this site is getting tiresome with personal attacks and bias.
@10.25
also Mary Poppins never sang 'Chitty Chitty Ban Bang', she didn't even sing twitty twitty bang bang.
as to you insults to others, not even going to bother replying.
