Omg! Can't believe this! She's gotta be aware of Adam's video and she still did this! And how about her clothes - is this her style nowadays or is she trying to be more rock'n'roll than she really is?
Great that you won Britney, but your video doesn't seem to be so unic...
Carlos, yes, you're entitled to your opinion, but how can you say they aren't similar?? There's bits of Britney's video that are practically identical to the FYE video! Anyway, I agree with Lindsey - a ripoff and not original. #just sayin' ... :-)
Of course both videos are similar, they are filmed from the same director. If Britney did FYE, she would be nominated and won those award shows as well for last year.
Brit's was good but Adam's was hot jmo. sort of a rip off but that isn't brit's fault she just did what the director told her to do. She prob didn't even see FYE.
I'm not going to argue with this show MTV.... I didn't watch it anyways he!he!
Adams chances are big and glory so I'm not worried at all. Fans will deliver the success of his 2nd album and I'm counting on it. Go, go, go, loyal glamberts make it happens!!!!!!
Not a complete rip-off, but there ARE similarities. Instead of seeing it as "Britney's not original, and copies Adam's videos," think of it as "Adam's video was so brilliant, it was similarily used for Britney's."
Well done, but certainly not unique, and therefore NOT deserving of an award! This is like a combination of Adam Lambert's 2012 and For Your Entertainment. Natural disaster, very 'suggestive',underground song and dance and the costuming was very similar. Where was Adam's recognition??????
This looks like a combo of Time for Miracles, FYE, AND IIHY all jammed together in a hodge-podge of "I don't have an original thought in my head." And she won the MJ Vanguard award? WTF?!?!
BTW, does anyone know if Adam was actually at the MTV's last night?
As I watch it all my heart gets sad, Adam so deserves to be up there, strutting his stuff and winning more hearts. What is wrong with these people I had to turn the sound down and go away when that Lil Wayne crap was on, absolutely hideous. Jadam.
So Sad! waiting for the day when adam gets acknowledged!! I'm a nice person but its making me bitter when everyone else is reaping his awards! Enough is enough! BTW MTV awards pretty much a joke according to all the blogs.! I think I'll just take a break for awhile- have no faith in the music industry anymore, which makes me scared for the biggest talent (BB) and his success. What sells today is really scary!
I only watched 5 minutes of the awards, couldn't stand gagas male alter ego routine. Didn't find it amusing at all. Wonder where she got the idea for that ( look at Annie Lennox singing on 1984 Grammy show)
What bothers me the most, if people can vote that tyler rapper in as best artist of the year, what chance does adam have? Todays music is not about music anymore.
Why does she have to show her ass half undressed all the time. Because sex sells, is that all she has to offer, not for me. Can't even sing. All of her songs sound the same to me. Like a stuck record. Britney get a grip. Adam is so so very much better. You don't desirve this award. And put some clothes on please.
Miley Cyrus' video was called"Can't be Tamed",but it didn't sound much like FYE to me.I thought that Gaga was kinda funny..She does have guts to stay looking like that ugly short guy for the whole show..She is talented,I just think some of her former videos have been "too much,dirty,etc" & a couple even sacrileligious..anything is fair game for her,it seems.She's a complicated person.
I didn't realize that it was Ga Ga for a few minutes, didn't understand who it was, but I knew she was opening the show. I think she knew that she might have some competition with outlandish costume. She was actually clever with her choice, cuz no one else came dressed as a man. She was totally different again, with her choice of costume. She has a team of 12 people who work out what she wears.
I predict Adam's future may not be in the music world. Adam's future may be somewhere more important, Trevor project & Equality awards , might have something to do with it. Adam's strength of passion, love, bravery, are what's important. Adam's heart , his humanity & kindness , will make Adam an iconic figure, a great man of passion , that he is, in this world!!!!! Remember the Nobel prize?!! Just can't figure out why a very gifted human being is denied time after time. & please , don't tell me it's because he's gay. That excuse is burned out. I still can't figure out why people stare at me , is it because I'm short , fat , & ugly, there's lots of people who like that! But why do people keep staring ? Because they're pretty well damn STUPID, IGNORANT, & that's how they are on the inside! Short, fat, & UGLY!!! Ok , I vented , thank u! Mwah!! K
No one from AI made it. Bieber knew he would get it, even though his video was nothing, BUT he has a huge fan base. If he insists on wearing that style of pants, he better learn how to walk, he waddles. I didn't think he was gonna make it up the stairs Ha ha ha.
I can really feel the pain and frustration of Adams loyal fans indeed. It's really hard to accept that these people who don't deserve the awards were there and celebrating..... Don't stop now Adam really need our undying support and don't you dare give up GLAMBERTS we are warriors indeed.
Beiber will get all awards and noms until his big brother Usher will find better investment. So, doesn't matter what kind of pants he wears, what kind of snakes he brought on Red Carpet. May be JB's age will change number of his fans. But who cares. We still hope that Adam will get more noms and awards. And he deserved to be in music world like nobody else. May be he needs to move in Europe? How about Finland?:)
We have to understand the US music industry is controlled by certain people that similar to other industries which are dictated by a few corporations. It is up to consumer to make changes but changes are very slow. I do feel Adam has a better chance outside US, let's wait for his 2nd album and appreciate the gift of his talent to us!
Britney, although likeable is rather back burner now. Chris Brown and what the heck was that all about? The rest of the Awards last night were so dull without Adam to rule the show.Gaga ruled alone! Adele was awesome! Adore Jessie J and I really don't think the US are aware of just how fantastic she really is. Plus she has written some awesome stuff.
The best GN concerts I went to were those internationally where Adam could be out the box. They were wild and awesome and the love for Adam just gushed at every single venue. Yes, the international fans love Adam with a passion and are ready like never before! We have a superstar here!
I don't get it. This looks like 1980's to me. Wasn't madonna doing this same thing 30 years ago? With FYE, there was an undercurrent of decadent berlin; the male sexuality made an old idea new again. But watching Britney's (sound down, heh!), I just think "Trite. Boring. Been done." and "Does she ALWAYS have to do the hooker thing?" (Contrast with Lambert's varying personas in IIHY, WWFM, and FYE.)
Okay, BS, we got it. You think you're hot, and you're unsure of your voice, so you always fall back on the sex (which, by the way, would be a lot sexier with some tenderness or variety, instead of that endless bad girl schtick).You're not sure enough of your dancing, so you hide it with a lot of quick cuts. You've been doing the same act since you were 16. Now go away.
Whatever. I'm sorry I watched the boring, Britney Spears video. Nothing against Britney, but the video does absolutely nothing for me. Adam's on the other hand.....so friggen hot and steamy!! I've watched that video over and over at least 100 times or more. Just can't get enough. But then....I am a girl heehee : )
Yep, just watched it again....that sexy strut, those steel blue eyes...that sexay voice...that steamy hot threesome scene in the plants section....yum, yum, yum, and YYYYYUMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM!!!!!!!
I tried watching segments of the VMA's and it was just dreck!! I feel sorry for the young people of today. When I was young, we had the Beatles, Rolling Stones, Led Zepplin, etc. I think videos have actually ruined music -there is so much visual and no quality to the song. Just one pretend orgasm after another to the same beat ad the same 3 notes. This isn't really music. Poor Adam if he is trying to be a part of this scene - he's much too good for it.
@Anon 6:39 PM The woman Adam is standing with is Lyndsey Parker, the one the quote at the top of the page is from. She has a column, "Reality Rocks", is Yahoo Music's managing editor, and an Adam Lambert fan. She also writes about American Idol and has always had a big soft spot in her heart for Adam. Her interviews with him are some of the best.
Adam has got to appeal to more people. Everyone knows he is gay and he can stay true and be proud but do we have to hear it all the time. He doesn't seem to attend anything but gay. He said he wasn't a poster boy but look how that's turned out. His own wasn't that proud behind him. I also heared a interview or rumor he said before his tour that he had got to the point he rather go to straight bars. Adam has outgrown the club kids and now has a class act on his arm. Luv you 2 sauli.
Tough words 8:40 but I agree. He needs to put the gay celebrity publicity on the "back burner" so to speak and get on with his music career.
He's using those events for publicity as there's nothing else around. Hopefully when his 2nd album is released, and if it's successful, everything else will fade except his music and concerts.
This is not denial, but as he has so often proclaimed, he should not be defined by his sexuality, and right now he is.
The videos are similar, but I don't care. Adam's version is more original and he's so damn sexy -- I love this video..I've seen it a 1000 times. I can't get over his smile at 0:50...sigh.
Adam's sexualty will soon become a boring topic...his talent will speak for itself. It just takes time for the media to get over the shock value.
Wow, Britney, your lyrics are SO deep....your voice can hit so many different registars...the depth you bring to your music is undeniable... NOT!! ;) So you've got bleach blond hair and a cute butt...
8:40 and 9:00 - you refer to Adam's being gay as if he is constantly "playing the gay card", but the media will not let it die! How many interviews have you heard Adam do where he switches the topic to "I'm gay and here's what my gay life is like"? No - the interviewers always bring it up and he responds. I don't think he is "in our face" with the fact that he's gay...quite the contrary...in interviews, he wants to talk about the music, not his sexual orientation...but answers the questions that are posed to him by the media (often on this topic).
Some of the posts on this thread sound like the comments made by the editor of OUT mag ... not gay enough ... then we have the suits at ABC ... too gay ... if ADAM listened to all this his head would be spinning. Once again ... all you well meaning fans ... ADAM knows MORE about the biz than ALL of you combined so just relax & let ADAM take us where HE wants to go!! He aint dumb & neither are his NEW management ... so sit back ... relax ... and enjoy the ride ... As for the MTV VMAs ... I knew ADAM wouldn't be there so I watched something else in ADAM's honor ... my GNT DVD ... LOVED IT!!!
I don't understand the need of Adams fans to constantly bash other artists.
Adam is new in this business, has just one album. He will need any support he can get for his next album.
Adam has nothing to promote at the moment, why should he be on that show? I had expected that Kelly Clarkson, who has a new single, would perform there.
Sorry, but it makes me cringe to see some Adams fans harrassing Sony, MTV or people on twitter. Gives us all a bad name.
Really cracked up at all of the people on the VMA's trying to outdo each other with their stupid outfits just to get the attention. I definitely feel there are some talented singers but they are few and far between. It has just become about how outragious you can be to get noticed. Adam seems to me to be so much more than that and I do feel for him that he never gets the praise he deserves. I watched the first 10 minutes and turned it. Gaga was just stupid and I LIKE gaga. Oh the things people will do!
Fans tend to bash other artists when their own favorite isn't getting all the awards, etc. It's human nature to do this and it happens all the time. I don't take it seriously. Frankly, I've caught myself doing it, too, because I adore Adam so much. It also occured to me that Adam really had no reason to be at the VMAs, other than just to be audience candy. He had no eligible videos this time around. The VMAs are typical of current awards shows. The spectacle overshadows the singing. It's what's in style now. I'd love to see Adam stand on a dark stage with just one spotlight on him, wearing a killer black tux, a tinge of make-up to bring out those eyes, and sing a beautiful song. His next song would then be a balls-out rocker showing off his incredible stage skills. It would be a welcome change from the current pop-crap approach. DRG
I love Adam because he is strong and determined to stand fast to who he is and if that involves being labelled gay and proud, then so be it! His not going to change, the music industry HAS to change...and Adam has ruffled their feathers and he is now making an inpact every single day! Takes guts and courage to stand fast and be true to yourself. Adam is a world treasure and he has more talent in his pinky finger than any artist, performer,or entertainer on this planet. Adam is a musical genius..a SUPERSTAR!
@9pm How the blazes can Adam put his 'gay celebrity publicity' on 'back burner' when this is who he is, every fibre of his being. Why should he hide from his choice of lifestyle?
Okay, other than the dark underground opening, I really don't see the comparison. She's in a dark anything goes club, much like some Ke$ha and others have done. Big whoop. However, I have never really understood why the singer gets the award for a video whose concept is developed by someone who does that for a living. In some cases the performer has the concept, but since Britney just goes out and does her half assed schtick like a zombie, I doubt very much if she had any input at all. Hence, I don't think Britney stole anyone's concept. If there was a ripoff going on, it was by the person who developed the video.
P.S. Regarding Gaga's VMA performance, that was just about the best live performance she has ever done. Over the top as usual, but that girl is a consummate performer who knocks herself out in every performance and concept. She was up there jumping on and off pianos, playing the piano, dancing, and singing her heart out, and though she was out of breath at the end, she still managed to sing on tune. On the other hand, there's Britney who lip synchs all her live performances. Who would you rather watch??? No contest.
Adam Lambert wasn't there so it came and went without a blip on my radar. I love Katy Perry though. I wish that Adam and Katy would come up with a collaboration since they share the same management now. That would be something, especially if they had some great videos like Katy puts out. Britney did have sort of a rip off of Adam's basic idea...but imitation is the sincerest form of flattery, right? Hope Adam releases a single soon and the radio this time around will play it right away. #glambertluv
Adam's gay-ness will always be part of his public persona, because he chooses to live it openly. If he hid away his private life completely, it would be a different story, but that's not how he lives his life. Makes him far more interesting, if you ask me. His long-term impact will be greater because of his open-ness. Those who can't deal with it will just have to follow other singers. Their loss. DRG
7:29 why don't you read my post before voicing something I never said. I am not asking Adam to deny anything. He is who he is. But, can you imagine an interviewer questioning Barry Manilow about his sexuality? Respect dictates that this is not an issue for discussion regardless. Because Adam just spews everythng out there including his private life and his relationships, the media has nothing off limits. It's up to Adam to establish the ground rules. Ask me about music, concerts, the creative process, but personal questions are off limits.
Adam hasn't really made it yet in any sense of the word, so he's ready and willing to do and say almost anything to anyone who offers. If his new album is successful, I think fans will see a huge change. He will isolate himself to a greater degree. This is my opinion just as everyone as their opinion. I state it with full love and admiration for Adam and his talent.
I think if Adam has a strong single, there will be no obstacles in his way. To be honest, I didn't think the other songs were that strong, except for WWFM which did get nominated for a Grammy. I loved the album because I love Adam but the songs really weren't what the industry is putting out right now (altho that's a whole other topic...)
I cant be bothered to read all the nonsense up in here but will say this:
Until artists have to call press conferences to announce they are straight, gays shouldn't have to do it...and until artists are labeled "openly straight," "openly gay" should never be used preceding an artist's name or occupation. Its MEDIA that makes it a big deal. And if MEDIA wouldn't keep asking the question, he wouldn't discuss it. Not because of shame but because its a non issue in his realm of reality...as it should be.
Well she's no stranger to copying If I said you had a beautiful body would you hold it against me And now this obvious mix of FYE and Time for Miracles . Can nothing be done about this ??
@8:25; You betcha! Some said they didn't like Gaga's performance. Well, if you taped it go back and LOOK at it and LISTEN to what (and how) she says. She is still the same talented person no matter WHAT she wears. Just like Adam. HE got it, knew the point she was making. And I agree with them. Art is art. You shouldn't have to look like a street walker or sleep with the "right" people to be acknowledged. Too bad USA thinks they are the end-all, be-all of the planet, 'cause they are sooo backward it's scary. And I live here.
It doesn't matter how real deal Adam is as far as he is so obsessed on licking Tommy on stage. He promised in the beginning of his last tour that he won't kiss him and what happened. I'm so over it that I'm only going to buy the album and don't give a shit about his next tour.
This I don't understand at all. Justin Bieber wins "best video" yet I have NEVER seen a JB video on VH1"s Top 20 Videos. How can he have the best video if it has never been in the Top 20?????
You all act like Adam never has taken ideas from something and made it his own. It's called life! You see someone wearing a shirt you like. Go to the store and buy it. No one accuses you of stealing anything from anyone, because you didnt steal anything. You saw an idea that you liked and went and made it you own. Furthermore last time I checked neither Britney or Adam directed their videos. So why does the similarity matter? If the videos were by the samr director blame the director not Britney. Lastly, don't start getting all on Britney for not writing her lyrics and not having deep enough lyrics. If I remember correctly Adam only co wrote 3 songs off his last album and not all of his songs are deep. If you all could stop being so jusgemental you would realize like Adam, Britney has her fair share of songs with meaning and believe it or not has written some of her own songs.
P.S I thought Adam preached about love. Some of you aren't the beat examples of what he talks about. How about next Time you start haying before you type think: what would Adam think if he read what I wrote? Would he be proud to have me as a fan?
I'll be at Adam's concert next year enjoying every moment, without a thought in the world about JB. BTW, you can really tell how bored we are with all this downtime before the next single. Lots of sniping and sass. Oh well. It won't be long now! DRG
6:20 you are so right about the sniping and sass with each other. A few troll remarks here and there but that's their prob.Another thread mentioned something getting Adam's MTV Playground preview on here if anyone knows how to do it. Someone said Adam looks wonderful in it. thanks if anyone can help.
@HK - thanks for the reminder of Annie Lennox and the Eurythmics performance and her dressed as a man. gaga doesnt have one look that she hasnt copied. Sorry, forgot about the meat dress! That was totally a first! WOW. What a genius! ... Adamluv
Yeah! I'd love to see Adam's MTV Playground Preview. Saw a few pix somewhere. I'd prefer to see ANYTHING here other than political arguments and dissing of other artists. Just want some Adam luv, please! DRG
OT: There is a very nice short comment under Adam's fan art thread by the artist.He seems like such a nice person, to bad he had to suffer reading that whole thread.
I hope Gaga style won't become the trend in Pop scene that everybody need to act and dress weird and neglect the music. Annie Lennox reminds me good music and I have hope in Adam's new album.
I am shocked that is lyndsey Parker in that picture up there. Wasn't she in Adam's E!ths? I don't remember her looking like that up there. I guess I better get out the program and watch it again.
Just forced myself to watch Brittany , bigger budget, nothing original, & my opinion , she's a teenage girl product & just like Justin b. , a kid product. Saw a poster of gaga in Walmart , you don't know how bad I wanted to tear it down, & wanted to see a poster of Adam Lambert!! I think I'll go off & cry now, some fans don't have access to online purchases. Adam's day will come!! Good things come in time. & with lottsa patience!!! Mwah!! K
I don't expect Adam to do anything the same as the Glamnation concert. New album, new performances, new look, new sound.
I also expect Gaga to continue to surprise and change things up. She's an artiste and musician.
Sorry, guys, but Britney will never have the talent Adam or Gaga have, and who knows what her real voice is. It's been electronically maniplated so much, it barely sounds recognizable. She's just been lucky to have the best pop writers in the business and a team who pushes her to sell sex and not talent. I don't think she has had an original thought in years. MY opinion.
I think people are more jealous of Britney's success. Gaga and Adele have had it much easier. When Gaga borrows ideas, people tell her she is genius. Adele said she made her album 18 and drunk, but no one dares to say that it also sounds like it.
The only time I liked BS was when she performed live with MJ for his 30th anniv. in NY. You can watch it here:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xu8jLSLJEnk
Before and after this I really didn't care much about her. Yes, that video of hers looks a lot like Adam's FYE. Total rip off. Maybe we should bring it to MTV's attention.
Anon 11:07, thank you for the link. I'd never seen that performance before. Thought Britney looked hot and what an honor to be asked to perform with MJ. Always loved Michaels choreography and his dancing ability. ... Adamluv
@Anon 11:07 The similarities to Adam's FYE music video were noticed by many and pointed out when Britney Spears vid first came out...I don't think it would make any difference now to point it out to MTV. And it probably would not help Adam either at this point.
Let's hope Adam comes up with a killer new single and produces a stunning music video to go along with it..One so fabulous that we'll be seeing HIM instead of Britney on ALL of the music award shows next year. BTW, his FYE is still my favorite music vid of his and I love the song too...just sorry it was pretty much buried by the American music industry and radio after the AMA's. Water under the bridge for now...It really IS his signature song...Sexy, with lot's of "wink, wink" double meaning and innuendo. And, boy, is he here to entertain us!!!

HaHa....Adam stole Britney's snake!!!! for his video
Similar but I like FYE better and Adam is cuter
Kate Perry had a similar video after FYE came out
I love the the video from the movie ..can't think of the name...
I think Miley had a similar video..her first adult video.....something about a bird in a cage
Adam's video from the movie 2012 was "Time for Miracles".
I'm not sure if I'd call it a ripoff, although there are similarities, but they are not totally similar to me. I like the scene in the FYE video.
Of course both videos are similar, they are filmed from the same director. If Britney did FYE, she would be nominated and won those award shows as well for last year.
Brit's was good but Adam's was hot jmo. sort of a rip off but that isn't brit's fault she just did what the director told her to do. She prob didn't even see FYE.

Well done, but certainly not unique, and therefore NOT deserving of an award! This is like a combination of Adam Lambert's 2012 and For Your Entertainment. Natural disaster, very 'suggestive',underground song and dance and the costuming was very similar. Where was Adam's recognition??????
Right on Anon 1:47.
At least Adam can really sing and dance and boy, can he!!!!!!!!!!
Total rip off but Adam would be flattered.
Adam said in twitter that Lamberts Outlaws had a nice sound to it.
This looks like a combo of Time for Miracles, FYE, AND IIHY all jammed together in a hodge-podge of "I don't have an original thought in my head." And she won the MJ Vanguard award? WTF?!?!
BTW, does anyone know if Adam was actually at the MTV's last night?
I think if Adam was at VMA'S there would be pics because he ROCKS THE RED CARPET!!!!
This was definitely a rip off of Adam's FYE. I'm still pissed that WWFM. IIHY or FYE were not nominated for VMA's. No, Adam did not attend.
Britney reminds me of why I'm so sold on Adele,
Adele can actually sing.
As I watch it all my heart gets sad, Adam so deserves to be up there, strutting his stuff and winning more hearts.
What is wrong with these people I had to turn the sound down and go away when that Lil Wayne crap was on, absolutely hideous.
Jadam.
Since Britny is one of the big dogs, she isn't going to give credit where credit is due. Same director, similar video. Adam's is better.
DRG
So Sad! waiting for the day when adam gets acknowledged!! I'm a nice person but its making me bitter when everyone else is reaping his awards! Enough is enough! BTW MTV awards pretty much a joke according to all the blogs.! I think I'll just take a break for awhile- have no faith in the music industry anymore, which makes me scared for the biggest talent (BB) and his success. What sells today is really scary!
Definitely has elements of both FYE and TOM mixed in.
I only watched 5 minutes of the awards, couldn't stand gagas male alter ego routine. Didn't find it amusing at all. Wonder where she got the idea for that ( look at Annie Lennox singing on 1984 Grammy show)
What bothers me the most, if people can vote that tyler rapper in as best artist of the year, what chance does adam have? Todays music is not about music anymore.
Why does she have to show her ass half undressed all the time. Because sex sells, is that all she has to offer, not for me. Can't even sing. All of her songs sound the same to me. Like a stuck record. Britney get a grip.
Adam is so so very much better. You don't desirve this award. And put some clothes on please.
Miley Cyrus' video was called"Can't be Tamed",but it didn't sound much like FYE to me.I thought that Gaga was kinda funny..She does have guts to stay looking like that ugly short guy for the whole show..She is talented,I just think some of her former videos have been "too much,dirty,etc" & a couple even sacrileligious..anything is fair game for her,it seems.She's a complicated person.
I didn't realize that it was Ga Ga for a few minutes, didn't understand who it was, but I knew she was opening the show. I think she knew that she might have some competition with outlandish costume. She was actually clever with her choice, cuz no one else came dressed as a man. She was totally different again, with her choice of costume. She has a team of 12 people who work out what she wears.
Adam didn't invent the concept of having an underground themed video though. I hate how people compare everything.
If you stopped comparing one thing to another you might be able to enjoy both things for what they are.
I don't like Britney but comparisons irk me.
I predict Adam's future may not be in the music world. Adam's future may be somewhere more important, Trevor project & Equality awards , might have something to do with it. Adam's strength of passion, love, bravery, are what's important. Adam's heart , his humanity & kindness , will make Adam an iconic figure, a great man of passion , that he is, in this world!!!!! Remember the Nobel prize?!!
Just can't figure out why a very gifted human being is denied time after time. & please , don't tell me it's because he's gay. That excuse is burned out. I still can't figure out why people stare at me , is it because I'm short , fat , & ugly, there's lots of people who like that! But why do people keep staring ? Because they're pretty well damn STUPID, IGNORANT, & that's how they are on the inside! Short, fat, & UGLY!!!
Ok , I vented , thank u! Mwah!! K
No one from AI made it. Bieber knew he would get it, even though his video was nothing, BUT he has a huge fan base. If he insists on wearing that style of pants, he better learn how to walk, he waddles. I didn't think he was gonna make it up the stairs Ha ha ha.
Beibers pants??? OMG, that's all he wears. Can't someone speak to that boy?? They are pathetic!
I can really feel the pain and frustration of Adams loyal fans indeed. It's really hard to accept that these people who don't deserve the awards were there and celebrating..... Don't stop now Adam really need our undying support and don't you dare give up GLAMBERTS we are warriors indeed.
Just keep on fighting please!!!!!!
They are afraid of Adam because he is the real deal and dangerous.........
@5:46 I agree with you 200%
brownie
Beiber will get all awards and noms until his big brother Usher will find better investment.
So, doesn't matter what kind of pants he wears, what kind of snakes he brought on Red Carpet. May be JB's age will change number of his fans. But who cares.
We still hope that Adam will get more noms and awards. And he deserved to be in music world like nobody else. May be he needs to move in Europe? How about Finland?:)

In the 2nd album release we will see how many GLAMBERTS ARE REALLY IN FOR ADAMS SUCCESS!!!!!
It's up to us if we really want ADAM to be on top!!!!
Get ready GLAMBERTS around the world, show your support and fight for the real artist of this generation!!!!!!
@6:16
The world is SOOOOOO ready!
We have to understand the US music industry is controlled by certain people that similar to other industries which are dictated by a few corporations. It is up to consumer to make changes but changes are very slow. I do feel Adam has a better chance outside US, let's wait for his 2nd album and appreciate the gift of his talent to us!
Adam is not a coward and he is not going anywhere until these idiots realize how Adam will change their country.
No apologize, no excuses for his actions and no one
Britney, although likeable is rather back burner now. Chris Brown and what the heck was that all about? The rest of the Awards last night were so dull without Adam to rule the show.Gaga ruled alone! Adele was awesome! Adore Jessie J and I really don't think the US are aware of just how fantastic she really is. Plus she has written some awesome stuff.
omg you guys act like he has never been nominated or won any awards,this site is getting doomier and gloomier.
Sorry I forgot to finish my statement....
What I meant up there was no one can deny his capabilities when it comes to music...
The best GN concerts I went to were those internationally where Adam could be out the box.
They were wild and awesome and the love for Adam just gushed at every single venue. Yes, the international fans love Adam with a passion and are ready like never before! We have a superstar here!
does anyone know who the lady is that Adam is standing with?
Just spread the word "READY"
I don't get it. This looks like 1980's to me. Wasn't madonna doing this same thing 30 years ago? With FYE, there was an undercurrent of decadent berlin; the male sexuality made an old idea new again. But watching Britney's (sound down, heh!), I just think "Trite. Boring. Been done." and "Does she ALWAYS have to do the hooker thing?" (Contrast with Lambert's varying personas in IIHY, WWFM, and FYE.)
Okay, BS, we got it. You think you're hot, and you're unsure of your voice, so you always fall back on the sex (which, by the way, would be a lot sexier with some tenderness or variety, instead of that endless bad girl schtick).You're not sure enough of your dancing, so you hide it with a lot of quick cuts. You've been doing the same act since you were 16. Now go away.
Whatever. I'm sorry I watched the boring, Britney Spears video. Nothing against Britney, but the video does absolutely nothing for me. Adam's on the other hand.....so friggen hot and steamy!! I've watched that video over and over at least 100 times or more. Just can't get enough. But then....I am a girl heehee : )
No shit. IT'S THE SAME DIRECTOR !!!
Yep, just watched it again....that sexy strut, those steel blue eyes...that sexay voice...that steamy hot threesome scene in the plants section....yum, yum, yum, and YYYYYUMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM!!!!!!!
7:26 a very smart spunky girl, if I may add.
I tried watching segments of the VMA's and it was just dreck!! I feel sorry for the young people of today. When I was young, we had the Beatles,
Rolling Stones, Led Zepplin, etc. I think videos have actually ruined music -there is so much visual and no quality to the song. Just one pretend orgasm after another to the same beat ad the same 3 notes. This isn't really music. Poor Adam if he is trying to be a part of this scene - he's much too good for it.
@Anon 6:39 PM
The woman Adam is standing with is Lyndsey Parker, the one the quote at the top of the page is from. She has a column, "Reality Rocks", is Yahoo Music's managing editor, and an Adam Lambert fan. She also writes about American Idol and has always had a big soft spot in her heart for Adam. Her interviews with him are some of the best.
Adam has got to appeal to more people. Everyone knows he is gay and he can stay true and be proud but do we have to hear it all the time. He doesn't seem to attend anything but gay. He said he wasn't a poster boy but look how that's turned out. His own wasn't that proud behind him. I also heared a interview or rumor he said before his tour that he had got to the point he rather go to straight bars. Adam has outgrown the club kids and now has a class act on his arm. Luv you 2 sauli.
Tough words 8:40 but I agree. He needs to put the gay celebrity publicity on the "back burner" so to speak and get on with his music career.
He's using those events for publicity as there's nothing else around. Hopefully when his 2nd album is released, and if it's successful, everything else will fade except his music and concerts.
This is not denial, but as he has so often proclaimed, he should not be defined by his sexuality, and right now he is.
The videos are similar, but I don't care. Adam's version is more original and he's so damn sexy -- I love this video..I've seen it a 1000 times. I can't get over his smile at 0:50...sigh.
Adam's sexualty will soon become a boring topic...his talent will speak for itself. It just takes time for the media to get over the shock value.
I couldn't listen/watch all of Britney's video - it's boring. On the other hand, Adam's video is EXCITING! :D
Wow, Britney, your lyrics are SO deep....your voice can hit so many different registars...the depth you bring to your music is undeniable... NOT!! ;) So you've got bleach blond hair and a cute butt...
8:40 and 9:00 - you refer to Adam's being gay as if he is constantly "playing the gay card", but the media will not let it die! How many interviews have you heard Adam do where he switches the topic to "I'm gay and here's what my gay life is like"? No - the interviewers always bring it up and he responds. I don't think he is "in our face" with the fact that he's gay...quite the contrary...in interviews, he wants to talk about the music, not his sexual orientation...but answers the questions that are posed to him by the media (often on this topic).
Feeling fiesty!
- Adam Fix
Some of the posts on this thread sound like the comments made by the editor of OUT mag ... not gay enough ... then we have the suits at ABC ... too gay ... if ADAM listened to all this his head would be spinning. Once again ... all you well meaning fans ... ADAM knows MORE about the biz than ALL of you combined so just relax & let ADAM take us where HE wants to go!! He aint dumb & neither are his NEW management ... so sit back ... relax ... and enjoy the ride ...
As for the MTV VMAs ... I knew ADAM wouldn't be there so I watched something else in ADAM's honor ... my GNT DVD ... LOVED IT!!!
tess4ADAM
IMO, Adam's FYE mv is much much better than BS. She is a true BS cause she can't even sing. Why she is so popular I truly don't get it.
I don't understand the need of Adams fans to constantly bash other artists.
Adam is new in this business, has just one album. He will need any support he can get for his next album.
Adam has nothing to promote at the moment, why should he be on that show? I had expected that Kelly Clarkson, who has a new single, would perform there.
Sorry, but it makes me cringe to see some Adams fans harrassing Sony, MTV or people on twitter. Gives us all a bad name.
Really cracked up at all of the people on the VMA's trying to outdo each other with their stupid outfits just to get the attention. I definitely feel there are some talented singers but they are few and far between. It has just become about how outragious you can be to get noticed. Adam seems to me to be so much more than that and I do feel for him that he never gets the praise he deserves. I watched the first 10 minutes and turned it. Gaga was just stupid and I LIKE gaga. Oh the things people will do!
Fans tend to bash other artists when their own favorite isn't getting all the awards, etc. It's human nature to do this and it happens all the time. I don't take it seriously. Frankly, I've caught myself doing it, too, because I adore Adam so much. It also occured to me that Adam really had no reason to be at the VMAs, other than just to be audience candy. He had no eligible videos this time around. The VMAs are typical of current awards shows. The spectacle overshadows the singing. It's what's in style now. I'd love to see Adam stand on a dark stage with just one spotlight on him, wearing a killer black tux, a tinge of make-up to bring out those eyes, and sing a beautiful song. His next song would then be a balls-out rocker showing off his incredible stage skills. It would be a welcome change from the current pop-crap approach.
DRG
I love Adam because he is strong and determined to stand fast to who he is and if that involves being labelled gay and proud, then so be it! His not going to change, the music industry HAS to change...and Adam has ruffled their feathers and he is now making an inpact every single day! Takes guts and courage to stand fast and be true to yourself. Adam is a world treasure and he has more talent in his pinky finger than any artist, performer,or entertainer on this planet. Adam is a musical genius..a SUPERSTAR!
@9pm
How the blazes can Adam put his 'gay celebrity
publicity' on 'back burner' when this is who he is, every fibre of his being. Why should he hide from his choice of lifestyle?
Okay, other than the dark underground opening, I really don't see the comparison. She's in a dark anything goes club, much like some Ke$ha and others have done. Big whoop. However, I have never really understood why the singer gets the award for a video whose concept is developed by someone who does that for a living. In some cases the performer has the concept, but since Britney just goes out and does her half assed schtick like a zombie, I doubt very much if she had any input at all. Hence, I don't think Britney stole anyone's concept. If there was a ripoff going on, it was by the person who developed the video.
P.S. Regarding Gaga's VMA performance, that was just about the best live performance she has ever done. Over the top as usual, but that girl is a consummate performer who knocks herself out in every performance and concept. She was up there jumping on and off pianos, playing the piano, dancing, and singing her heart out, and though she was out of breath at the end, she still managed to sing on tune. On the other hand, there's Britney who lip synchs all her live performances. Who would you rather watch??? No contest.
Adam Lambert wasn't there so it came and went without a blip on my radar. I love Katy Perry though. I wish that Adam and Katy would come up with a collaboration since they share the same management now. That would be something, especially if they had some great videos like Katy puts out. Britney did have sort of a rip off of Adam's basic idea...but imitation is the sincerest form of flattery, right? Hope Adam releases a single soon and the radio this time around will play it right away. #glambertluv
Adam's gay-ness will always be part of his public persona, because he chooses to live it openly. If he hid away his private life completely, it would be a different story, but that's not how he lives his life. Makes him far more interesting, if you ask me. His long-term impact will be greater because of his open-ness. Those who can't deal with it will just have to follow other singers. Their loss.
DRG
7:29 why don't you read my post before voicing something I never said. I am not asking Adam to deny anything. He is who he is. But, can you imagine an interviewer questioning Barry Manilow about his sexuality? Respect dictates that this is not an issue for discussion regardless. Because Adam just spews everythng out there including his private life and his relationships, the media has nothing off limits. It's up to Adam to establish the ground rules. Ask me about music, concerts, the creative process, but personal questions are off limits.
Adam hasn't really made it yet in any sense of the word, so he's ready and willing to do and say almost anything to anyone who offers. If his new album is successful, I think fans will see a huge change. He will isolate himself to a greater degree. This is my opinion just as everyone as their opinion. I state it with full love and admiration for Adam and his talent.
I think if Adam has a strong single, there will be no obstacles in his way. To be honest, I didn't think the other songs were that strong, except for WWFM which did get nominated for a Grammy.
I loved the album because I love Adam but the songs really weren't what the industry is putting out right now (altho that's a whole other topic...)
@tess4ADAM Love you girl! You said it perfectly. I 100% agree with you. Let's just enjoy this magnificent ride with Adam!
I cant be bothered to read all the nonsense up in here but will say this:
Until artists have to call press conferences to announce they are straight, gays shouldn't have to do it...and until artists are labeled "openly straight," "openly gay" should never be used preceding an artist's name or occupation. Its MEDIA that makes it a big deal. And if MEDIA wouldn't keep asking the question, he wouldn't discuss it. Not because of shame but because its a non issue in his realm of reality...as it should be.
Well she's no stranger to copying If I said you had a beautiful body would you hold it against me And now this obvious mix of FYE and Time for Miracles . Can nothing be done about this ??
@8:25; You betcha! Some said they didn't like Gaga's performance. Well, if you taped it go back and LOOK at it and LISTEN to what (and how) she says. She is still the same talented person no matter WHAT she wears. Just like Adam. HE got it, knew the point she was making. And I agree with them. Art is art. You shouldn't have to look like a street walker or sleep with the "right" people to be acknowledged. Too bad USA thinks they are the end-all, be-all of the planet, 'cause they are sooo backward it's scary. And I live here.
5:47pm - you speak perfect truth!!!
It doesn't matter how real deal Adam is as far as he is so obsessed on licking Tommy on stage. He promised in the beginning of his last tour that he won't kiss him and what happened. I'm so over it that I'm only going to buy the album and don't give a shit about his next tour.
2:17 Good, another seat available for me.
@2:17 - glad you wont be going to the next tour since that leaves a ticket for me to buy. Thank you! Lick away Adam, lick away!!!! ... Adamluv
2:45, you're welcome!
@2:17 Glad you won't be there. Homophobes not allowed!
Adamluv, oh he will lick Tommy, he will.
Wow! I can't wait for Adam's next tour. I'll let him lick me anywhere if I can get a ticket! :)
This I don't understand at all. Justin Bieber wins "best video" yet I have NEVER seen a JB video on VH1"s Top 20 Videos. How can he have the best video if it has never been in the Top 20?????
beiber fever makes me sick
You all act like Adam never has taken ideas from something and made it his own. It's called life! You see someone wearing a shirt you like. Go to the store and buy it. No one accuses you of stealing anything from anyone, because you didnt steal anything. You saw an idea that you liked and went and made it you own. Furthermore last time I checked neither Britney or Adam directed their videos. So why does the similarity matter? If the videos were by the samr director blame the director not Britney. Lastly, don't start getting all on Britney for not writing her lyrics and not having deep enough lyrics. If I remember correctly Adam only co wrote 3 songs off his last album and not all of his songs are deep. If you all could stop being so jusgemental you would realize like Adam, Britney has her fair share of songs with meaning and believe it or not has written some of her own songs.
P.S I thought Adam preached about love. Some of you aren't the beat examples of what he talks about. How about next Time you start haying before you type think: what would Adam think if he read what I wrote? Would he be proud to have me as a fan?
I'll be at Adam's concert next year enjoying every moment, without a thought in the world about JB. BTW, you can really tell how bored we are with all this downtime before the next single. Lots of sniping and sass. Oh well. It won't be long now!
DRG
6:20 you are so right about the sniping and sass with each other. A few troll remarks here and there but that's their prob.Another thread mentioned something getting Adam's MTV Playground preview on here if anyone knows how to do it. Someone said Adam looks wonderful in it. thanks if anyone can help.
@HK - thanks for the reminder of Annie Lennox and the Eurythmics performance and her dressed as a man. gaga doesnt have one look that she hasnt copied. Sorry, forgot about the meat dress! That was totally a first! WOW. What a genius! ... Adamluv
Yeah! I'd love to see Adam's MTV Playground Preview. Saw a few pix somewhere. I'd prefer to see ANYTHING here other than political arguments and dissing of other artists. Just want some Adam luv, please!
DRG
OT: There is a very nice short comment under Adam's fan art thread by the artist.He seems like such a nice person, to bad he had to suffer reading that whole thread.
I hope Gaga style won't become the trend in Pop scene that everybody need to act and dress weird and neglect the music. Annie Lennox reminds me good music and I have hope in Adam's new album.
I don't think Adam will perform on big stage very soon. I am not sure he will get more noms. However, he knew about it on the next morning after AMA.
8:28 OH OK thanks for the info.
I am shocked that is lyndsey Parker in that picture up there. Wasn't she in Adam's E!ths? I don't remember her looking like that up there. I guess I better get out the program and watch it again.
At least Britney is not an obstacle like Gaga and facking Adele. I don't buy her music, but I like 3 a lot.
Just forced myself to watch Brittany , bigger budget, nothing original, & my opinion , she's a teenage girl product & just like Justin b. , a kid product. Saw a poster of gaga in Walmart , you don't know how bad I wanted to tear it down, & wanted to see a poster of Adam Lambert!! I think I'll go off & cry now, some fans don't have access to online purchases. Adam's day will come!! Good things come in time. & with lottsa patience!!! Mwah!! K
Not hatin on britney, but sorry she has a voice of a 12 year old!! Beautiful to watch however.
I don't expect Adam to do anything the same as the Glamnation concert. New album, new performances, new look, new sound.
I also expect Gaga to continue to surprise and change things up. She's an artiste and musician.
Sorry, guys, but Britney will never have the talent Adam or Gaga have, and who knows what her real voice is. It's been electronically maniplated so much, it barely sounds recognizable. She's just been lucky to have the best pop writers in the business and a team who pushes her to sell sex and not talent. I don't think she has had an original thought in years. MY opinion.
P.S. That picture above is the Twilight lady, not Lyndsay Parker, to the best of my knowledge. If I'm wrong, pardonez moi.
No wait, she's blond. I am wrong. That IS Lyndsay. Mea culpa.
I think people are more jealous of Britney's success. Gaga and Adele have had it much easier. When Gaga borrows ideas, people tell her she is genius. Adele said she made her album 18 and drunk, but no one dares to say that it also sounds like it.
Correction: Adele wrote her album 18..
It seems to be a trend that artist should write her own music. Why?
The only time I liked BS was when she performed live with MJ for his 30th anniv. in NY. You can watch it here:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xu8jLSLJEnk
Before and after this I really didn't care much about her. Yes, that video of hers looks a lot like Adam's FYE. Total rip off. Maybe we should bring it to MTV's attention.
Anon 11:07, thank you for the link. I'd never seen that performance before. Thought Britney looked hot and what an honor to be asked to perform with MJ. Always loved Michaels choreography and his dancing ability. ... Adamluv
@Anon 11:07
The similarities to Adam's FYE music video were noticed by many and pointed out when Britney Spears vid first came out...I don't think it would make any difference now to point it out to MTV. And it probably would not help Adam either at this point.
Let's hope Adam comes up with a killer new single and produces a stunning music video to go along with it..One so fabulous that we'll be seeing HIM instead of Britney on ALL of the music award shows next year. BTW, his FYE is still my favorite music vid of his and I love the song too...just sorry it was pretty much buried by the American music industry and radio after the AMA's. Water under the bridge for now...It really IS his signature song...Sexy, with lot's of "wink, wink" double meaning and innuendo. And, boy, is he here to entertain us!!!
@glizylady- I totally agree with you FYI without a doubt is my favorite. Hot sexy, killer song, I never get tired of watching it.
