Was Lambert's AMA Act too Racy

(AP)  ABC says more than 1,500 people have called to complain about Adam Lambert's sexually-charged performance at the American Music Awards.

The network characterized the response as "moderate." Before his performance, Lambert said that he wanted to break down a double standard that existed where female performers are often sexually provocative while men don't do it that often.

There were also hostile comments online about the "American Idol" glam rocker who sang his new song "For Your Entertainment" on Sunday's show with an elaborate, S&M-themed production. Lambert fondled a dancer, led another around on a leash, kissed a man and had a dancer briefly stick his head in Lambert's crotch.
