AMAs: Dick Clark Productions responds to edited Adam Lambert performance

Dick Clark Productions is responding to reports that the production company and ABC edited the West Coast airing of Adam Lambert’s controversial performance at the American Music Awards last night. “Due to the live nature of the show we did not expect the impromptu moment in question,” said the company in a statement. Lambert’s original performance included simulated oral sex with a male back-up dancer.
