Uncalled For

It has become accustom to think that females are the only ones who can provide their  bodies for selling products.  Are they? That may be true, but is it wrong if a man does it? Is it wrong if a male tries to use sexual dance moves to provide a thrilling performance? I suppose it depends on the male right? Lambert came to Fame following his appearance on the eighth season of American Idol.  Although he was runner-up, Lambert launched a music career after signing with 19 Recordings in a joint venture with RCA Records. The release of his debut studio album For Your Entertainment (2009) proved notable after debuting at number three on the Billboard 200, selling 198,000 copies in the United States in its first week,and reaching the top ten in several countries worldwide. His achievement on the album led to international success for its singles "For Your Entertainment", "Whataya Want from Me" and "If I Had You"; the release of an extended play Acoustic Live! (2010) and a live album Glam Nation Live (2011); and allowed him to embark on his first headlining worldwide concert tour, Glam Nation, making him the only American Idol contestant to do so in the year following his Idol season. He is currently working on his second studio album Trespassing (March, 2012), which was preceded by lead single "Better Than I Know Myself" (December, 2011).

 

Lambert came out to the public as a homosexual after becoming the runner up in the American idol contest.  During his performace in The American Music Awards he proved confident in his sexuality with his racy display of men on men dancers.  This shocked the audience and many home viewers.  Although proving to be very confident is never a bad thing, he proved that wrong.  There were many ways to go about being proud of your sexuality but this specific performance wasn’t.  Although I understand that “sex sells”, I believe that the traditional form of sex is what sells.  Even though his performance was under a lot of scrutiny, the hype from the night died down and he was able to recover his career for the most part. Nobody will ever forget that performance, but we wish we could.
