The Emperor Has No Talent
I was going to write about how I'm sick of saying, "I'm not a prude but..."
As in: I'm not a prude, but I think Disney star Miley Cyrus looks like a prostitute in her Party in the USA video.
And: I'm not a prude, but Adam Lambert's soft porn antics don't belong on television.
But I really am sick of saying it, so I'll say something else: Adam Lambert is a boring, derivative poser.
If you missed the flap about the American Idol alum's performance on ABC, there's a good roundup at Catholic Exchange. In short, he sung an S&M song with leather-clad dancers, kissed another man, simulated fellatio, etc. -- and then, after ABC was shocked, shocked! about it, told CBS that that his fun little show didn't deserve all the fuss.
I don't buy Mr. Guyliner's line that women performers do sexually provocative (and sometimes lesbian-tinged) things all the time so it's okay for the fellows, because I don't think it's okay for anyone.
What I do think is that people without a whole lot of talent have to do something else to get attention. Adam Lambert, Lady Gaga, Britney Spears, even Miley Cyrus... these people have so little to offer that apparently some nipple clamps (ugh), same-gender kisses, and pole dances are required.
And those things are BORING. They are calculated to shock, under the lame old assumption that people who shock others are somehow artistic geniuses. They just can't help themselves, they are so full of transgressive artistic passion!
Well, that's not what they're full of. As noted music critic Scott F says, the truth is that Adam Lambert wants to be bad and corporate at the same time. "He doesn't have the guts to just man-up and say - 'Hey, baby, that's my show!' like a REAL punker," he says. "He wants to be a 'safe' and corporate-sponsored AND bad."
And CBS's questions about children viewers? Scott F has a good point about that also: "Adults have standards too," he says. "That question is just the interviewer being a weenie. 'Oh' she cries, 'what about the children?' Wah wah wah. She should just say, 'Adam, your shrieking greasy gay-show stunk.'"
Now I would never say that, because I am a responsible blogger for a Catholic radio station and I can't use that kind of language. What I say is this: If he had half the talent he thinks he has, Adam Lambert wouldn't need lame underground gay nightclub antics to get people to buy his records, and if he were really sincere about them being necessary for his "art," he wouldn't be appearing on ABC in the first place.
But he wants the money and fame that come from mainstream venues, and he wants people to be so cowed by the idea of being labeled a prude that they won't say that the emperor has no talent. So I will: Adam Lambert isn't a brave gay rocker bringing his transgressive art to the masses. He's a boring, derivative poser who wants a lot of money and figured that since his modest singing talent wasn't going to get it for him, he'd go with Plan B.
After all, it worked for Madonna.
