Adam Lambert's AMA performance, which has gone viral on YouTube and other sites, has been controversial since he closed the American Music Awards with it last weekend. Despite this, he has not apologies for the performance. He also added that he was taken aback by the harsh criticism.

The Adam Lambert AMA Performance many have shown people how he felt about losing on American Idol. Adam Lambert finished as the runner-up on the eighth season of American Idol, and last night's AMA performance was, as he warned, "rough." Kris Allen was the surprise winner, as many picked Lambert ahead of the finals.

Oof. Many have wondered just how Kris Allen won American Idol last week, as Adam Lambert had been the favorite for much the season. A report in the New York Times points a finger straight at American Idol sponsor AT&T, and may have created a new term to boot: texting irregularities.
