Given Adam Lambert’s performance during Sunday’s American Music Awards, I must say I was a bit surprised by this new clip.

Although he had over three minutes to “interpret the lyrics” of his own song in his own video, this video for “For Your Entertainment” was surprisingly tame. Oh sure - you could

glimpse a few provocative moments here and there, but it they weren’t as obvious as this weekend’s simulated oral sex moment.

So now I’m left confused. Why would Lambert hold back here? Was Adam simply doing on live TV what he wasn’t allowed to do in the video?
