Adam Lambert: Male Keyboardist "Didn't Mind" That I Kissed Him

Wednesday – November 25, 2009 – 10:46am

In yet another post-AMAs interview, Adam Lambert says he didn't know he was going to grab keyboard player Tommy Ratliff and plant a full-mouth kiss on him during his now infamous racy performance.

"During rehearsal, I grab him by the hair and kind of just looked at him," he tells MTV News. "He's straight. He just, I guess, didn't mind getting kissed in the name of entertainment on stage."

As for the simulating oral sex on stage, the "For Your Entertainment" singer, 27, says, "That wasn't in the original choreography. I was supposed to look at him, and I just grabbed him. I wouldn't have done it if I didn't think he would have been cool with it. ... It might look real forceful, but we all respect each other and were doing it in the name of the show."

In an interview on CBS' The Early Show Wednesday, Lambert says people are picking on him because he's "a gay male." He also said that if he had been "a female pop performer doing the moves ... I don't think there would have been nearly as much of an outrage."

Janet Jackson grabbed a male dancer's crotch, he noted.

"I didn't hear one peep about that..." he said.

His message to fans?

"This is one song, one production number..." he said. "I hope people don't put me in a box and say, 'Oh, he's nasty and he's going to be that way all the time!' It was one performance."

    who cares if he kissed a guy if he cant kiss a guy on stage then girls shouldnt be allowed to kiss other girls on stage in music video's or any were i think if it is ok for girls to do it its ok for guys to do it too just back off it's no big deal

    Better sex than violence anyday. Adam's cd is great, and personnally I'm tired of shows on tv where people are murdered, raped, etc. Soaps show worse than Adam's set in the middle of the afternoon. Adam is fantastic! Janet Jackson was on the same show, therefore the comparison. Don't you just love that the haters have nothing better to do than visit Adams sites to bad mouth him? Get a life people.

    The key word was entertainment thats was all I took out of it. I think people were shocked and thats what the extented talk is about. PEOPLE NEED TO LET IT GO AND MOVE ON. Adam is a entertainer and maybe he does things with out thinking but haven't we all at sometime in our lives mostly when we were young,hes new at this. I'm also sure he has learned to be selective with what he will put in his shows next time and I hope there is a next time because he is quite the entertainer and he can really sing. What a set of pipes. The first time I saw him on Idol I thoughtI was seeing things he looks just like my nephew and if I didn't know any better I would have swore it was him they are a spitten image of each other and I thought my nephew forgot to tell me he tried out for the idol show. Good luck Adam I love your singing, continued success, Im a big fan!

    I'm from Davenport and us gays out here "get no respect" at all. I love Lambert and would like to meet him although I'm 60'ish and bald and unemployed and fat and ugly.

    I personally loved his AMA performance. I would have switched places with any of thos dancers, and no, I would never be on my knees in real life, that's disgusting, but he was doing it theatrically, so it isn't really offensive! I'm creeped out about sexual exploitation on TV, but this didn't bother me! Sex and the City came to TBS and was more "raunchy" than that and it is regular tv, where you can't even say a$^ or b%&#h, which can be said on primetime. Even the soaps that are on in the afternoons (DAYTIME TV, when kids get home from school) are overly sexually charged and often "raunchy", especially for 1 to 3 in the afternoon! Adam's music is great, his adrenaline just got to him, which wasn't a bad thing. Buy the album and you'll understand why I think he will be this generation's Prince (with a little Bowie in the mix)!

    Adam is an amazing artist no matter what he did that night. Other people did the same thing and no one went off on all that psycho babble! He is still great and i bought his album!

    I was offended. Won't buy album. End of story

  • December 03, 2009 - 9:10am Christopher Says:

    this is just so stupid. i now he is not on the same level as janet jackson but i mean come on there is no reason for you people to be talking about how god frowns upon this. i mean that was just who adam is. he is so hot. and he is SOOOOOOOOOOO totally talented. adam and kris were neck and neck okay so dont even dare say he sucks if you think that then why do u even spend ur time on him take that time to shove ur bible and ur opinions ur you rear end!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    Adam Lambert made a big mistake when he did what he did at teh AMA awards. Nobody wants to see that filth whether it is a gay person or a straight person doing that. It is wrong and not the place in entertainment. Thats not entertainment thats jsut plain filthy. No one cares who is gay, but why do you have to flaunt it? I mean how many people do you hear say I am straight? But it seems you always have to announce that one is gay. Why? But the act of sexual oral sex was gross and somethings should stay behind closed doors! If it does ruin his carreer, I wouldn't be surprised.

    These homos make me sick.
  • November 30, 2009 - 6:37pm malia Says:

    Eeww, He doesn't mind? OMG maybe secretly he is gay too!!! I agree with DITZ; CHLOE; JJ and cec. Adam already thinks that he is bigger than Texas and he can do no wrong. Please give me a brake!!!!
  • November 30, 2009 - 1:25pm cec Says:

    He's not a big enough star to get away with being so crude. Let your music shine first, than bring your freak out once everyone likes your music.
  • November 30, 2009 - 1:12pm JJ Says:

    Comparing yourself to Janet Jackson...not the same league buddy! You are too new - thiking it is just mere "entertainment" promoting your record through vulgar sexuality. Save it for cable.
  • November 30, 2009 - 12:26am Chloe Says:

    He is always on front page regarding something to do with his sexuality, and some people think he is a "talented musician". How is he popular again? LMFAO. His album sucks big time!
  • November 30, 2009 - 12:14am Ditz Says:

    looks like he is trying to promote his sexuality rather than his talent. man you are going to loose the fans who stick with you even after that gay crisis because of these scandals. the performance was AWFUL. sing more on stage and keep your sex life inside your room

    Those who don't know Adam and think he has no talent, please stop embarrassing yourselves. Watch American Idol Season 8 and get updated. You need to know who Adam is and why he is such a sensation! And this is coming from a conservative mother of 3! I must admit that when he did what he did at the AMA, I cringed at some bits and had my hands covering my eyes hahhaha... Adam Adam... Naughty naughty Adam... But he is the Adam I love. He is the sexiest most exciting thing and I'm loving him more and more each day! Your album rocks Adam!

    I love Adam Lambert, love his CD.. I am a lesbian and have many gay friends, we all were a little shocked at the performance at the AMA's...But not really surprised coming from him. I knew he was outrages, and artistic, and he went for the shock value and did it very well. I guess after I thought about it.. it's who he is. Maybe the AMA's could put a diclaimer at the beginning of the show stating ,material not for all ages. IT was late, kids should not have been up anyway. I think no less of Adam, he is an entertainer after all. He will be BIG, and I can't wait to see more of him.
