Adam Lambert defends AMAs performance

Adam Lambert has addressed his controversial performance at last night's American Music Awards.

The American Idol star hit the headlines after his sexually suggestive rendition of new track 'For Your Entertainment', which included kissing another man.

Speaking to CNN after the show, the singer claimed that the kiss had been "in the moment" and was not a choreographed part of his performance.

"Part of what I love about being a performer is sometimes you are just in the moment and things happen. Adrenaline is a crazy feeling," he explained.

Lambert went on to say that he had not been trying to make a statement, but "in hindsight, I do feel like there is a bit of a double standard in the entertainment industry".

He added: "I feel like women performers have been pushing the envelope sexually for the past 20 years and all of a sudden a male does it and everybody goes, 'Oh, we can't show that on TV'. For me, it's a form of discrimination and a double standard and that's too bad."
