The 2009 AMA's became Adam Lambert's show at the end of the night. Adam Lambert's 2009 AMA performance is something that is going to be talked about for quite some time, and might have even over-shadowed the award winning night for Taylor Swift and Michael Jackson. The Adam Lambert performance came at the very end of the 2009 American Music Awards, and didn't serve as only a show ender, but rather a show stopper for everyone that was still watching. And let's face it, many people who were watching the 2009 AMA's were just waiting for Adam Lambert performance anyways, so when he took the stage everyone was already prepared to watch Lambert steal the thunder.Adam Lambert's AMA performance began innocently enough with the American Idol runner up standing center stage and spinning out a few lyrics to one of his new songs. Then the music kicked in and suddenly his stage was filled with dancers waiting for their moments in the spotlight. Lambert's outfit itself stood out a lot, with a crafted suit that had a shoulder pad that resembled ice picks sticking up into the air. Glammed out in a lot of make-up, he began singing his single, while dancers gyrated around on the stage, each taking a turn dancing with Lambert for a bit before he moved on to the next one. The dancing worked with the beats of the song, but that wasn't what will have grabbed the attention of most viewers at the end of the night.
At one point Lambert takes a seat on a rotating part of the stage as a poll dancer comes down and into his lap. The R-rated moment that followed had him groping the dancer between her legs before he moved on to another part of the stage. Climbing higher on to the oddly constructed scenery, he grabbed one of the musicians (a guy) and gave him a lingering kiss in what had to be shocking for some of the people watching the show. In the same moment it seemed like it was planned and spontaneous, and the entire spectacle continued as Lambert finished off the song with some notes that he held out for extreme effect. When it was over, it wasn't just the performers that were out of breath, but the audience which loved his showy presentation.
Adam Lambert's AMA performance was a really good coming out party as an artist, and it showed how he is going to take that next step forward with his music. Even if someone walks away not liking the "For Your Entertainment" track, its undeniable that Lambert is a real performer in every sense of the word. If he can keep putting on musical numbers such as this one, he could be a great artist to see in concert, and that could lead to a ton of ticket sales if he goes on tour anytime soon. With Adam Lambert's album hitting stores on Monday, November 23rd, this was the perfect way to get people talking about Lambert and thinking about what he might do next. Some of the lyrics may have been a bit rough with all the movement he was undertaking on stage, but his AMA performance is definitely going to be quite memorable for some time to come.
