Last night the American Music Awards (AMAs) were on ABC. American Idol runner-up Adam Lambert performed his new single For Your Entertainment to end the show. ABC had been working up the performance all night as “Outrageous” and “The performance everybody will be talking about tomorrow.” They were right about that!
As an Adam Lambert fan, I was absolutely shocked at what I saw. Adam is a great singer and has amazing control over his range, but his performance was incredibly inappropriate… and it was on ABC of all channels! The question left is who is to be blamed? Adam for his performance or ABC for airing it?

All things considered, ABC did a great job producing the live tv version of the show. Contrary to that though, they did a live streaming red carpet pre-show on Ustream. Not only was the quality horrible, but the hosts down right sucked. They never knew if they were on air or if another host was on. They also tended to use the SAME questions for every celebrity they interviewed. Not to mention all of the technical glitches. We were able to hear the live producer audio stream and much more. Pretty embarrassing for ABC.
