Adam Lambert is not here for your entertainment...


 If you haven't been entertained by the annoying, over-hyped news coverage of Adam Lambert's lame AMA performance, his new music video might do the trick. Who knows why his AMA performance of "For Your Entertainment" has caused such a stir... is it because he's gay? because it was (semi) racy? or because it was good press for his upcoming CD? Who cares. The music video that he just released is just as racy (if not more) but will not create as much attention because it's not live and he doesn't kiss a boy. Lambert seems like a star caught in the middle of a tug-of-war between being a gay icon, a pop-music star, and a real singer - and this video completely captures that struggle. As he flirts with girls and gets grabbed and shoved around by male and female dancers, he sings about the control he holds over everyone, but as the AMA scandal has shown, he is not in control of anything. The fame, the press, and the music industry has him in their death-grip and have decided that he is here for THEIR entertainment.

WEZ Sez: Entertaining video, but let's hope Adam Lambert can find his own voice amid the millions telling him who and what to be.
