Although many people loved Adam Lambert's performance Sunday night at the American Music Awards, many conservatives have their panties in a bunch.

Lambert performed his latest single, For Your Entertainment, which included simulating oral sex with a male dancer, making out with one of the male band members and plenty of crotch grabbing.

And according to ABC, over 1,500 people have called to complain about the performance.

Though ABC has classified the response as "moderate."

Others have taken to online forums to bash Lambert's performance.

Wonder how much backlash MTV received when Britney Spears and Madonna had their infamous kiss?

Oh wait, people were loving it!

      Thats because it was just plain gross! And at least Brit and Madonna didnt shove each other's heads into their crotches! Im sorry Perez if you think some of us are conservative tightwads, but not everyone in America is gay!!! Personally, i thought it was disturbing and classless. He looked like he just wanted attention, not respect as an artist.

      i just dont understand how he went from one day being in the closet to the enxt day being like super hero gay. like over the top. he is too much!!

      Okay we all know Adam's performance was a little racy but it's not like he grabbed some random straight guy from the audience and kissed him who wasn't willing to… it was another guy IN HIS OWN BAND who was gay and willing to do it. So are we truly bashing him for kissing a guy?… Guys always get bashed for being gay as opposed to girls… they might get a little bashing but not as much as guys and i think it's wrong… He's a grown man.. he can do what he wants… SO what he was embracing his sexuality!? Embrace it Glambert! And keep rocking!

      i have nothing against gay or lesbian people but i did not watch the amas to see two guys kiss each other! and i HATED it when madonna and britney kissed. both of these actions were totally uncalled for.

      I know this is late but I just wanted to state for the record that there were over 1mil watching the awards and if only 1,500 complained then the execs of ABC overreacted miserably. All they managed to do was give Adam added publicity which he really didn't need since he's totally the best thing that's happened to the music industry since the likes of Madonna, Cher and Elton.

      I don't wanna see anyone pretty much having sex on stage. Gay or not. I'm not turned off because it was two guys, I'm turned off because it was COMPLETELY inappropriate. Children watch that and shouldn't see such provocative things. Perez wouldn't care at all if it was a man and a woman being scrutinized.
