On the American Music Awards function, during his performance Adam kissed a male backup dancer and his fellow male keyboardist (Bill O’Reilly). After this shocking act, rumors spread that his father is mortified by his behavior.
About the rumor, the 27 year old singer says, "I haven’t started a makeup line. I might, but I haven’t yet. My father was rumored to be mortified by what I did [at the 'American Music Awards'] and that we're not speaking. That's a rumor. … I think Bill O’Reilly perpetuated that. Lovely man. Everyone's entitled to their opinion. [My dad and I] were laughing about it … so that was a rumor."
He said abut his parents, "[My parents have] always been really supportive [like] when I decided to drop out of college after five weeks. I tried. … [I was studying] musical theater. I don't know. … I thought to myself I don't want to learn this in a classroom. [My father] was always supportive. My mother was always supportive. They were always there for me and … I know they’re very proud."
He also discussed how drastically his life changed after "American Idol". He said, "I'm hanging on white knuckles. It's a good ride. I mean how hasn't [life changed since 'Idol']? It’s wild. I have people that are so supportive of me that are buying the CD."
On the show Lambert said about the new season of "American Idol", which will begin in January, that it will be very different without Paula Abdul. He said, “I think Paula’s amazing. It's bound to be different (American Idol). She provided so much warmth and positive critiques. [Simon's] great at what he does. He’s hard on people. Paula’s the flip … she provides positive reinforcement.”
At the end of the "The Jay Leno Show", Lambert performed his song “Whataya Want From Me" from his debut album "For Your Entertainment".
