ABC says more than 1500 people have called to complain
about Adam Lambert's sexually charged performance at the
American Music Awards.

The network characterised 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, had
a dancer briefly stick his head in Lambert's crotch and
kissed a man.
