It wouldn’t be an award show without some sort of bizarre and shocking moment that gets the Internet abuzz, and last night’s American Music Awards were no exception.

The talk of the show this time is Adam Lambert’s (who you may remember from American Idol) performance, in which he kisses another guy towards the end.

The event is still the talk of the Web this morning, bringing back memories of the infamous Britney Spears and Madonna makeout from the 2003 VMAs which pre-dates both YouTube and Twitter (nonetheless, the clip still has 5 million views).

At the moment, video of the Lambert performance does not seem to be available on ABC’s (who aired the AMA’s) website, though the clip is on YouTube (below). Whether or not that’s an editorial or technical decision, we’re not yet sure, but you may recall that MTV reaped a massive traffic boost from keeping the Kanye West/Taylor Swift incident off of YouTube and in its own player earlier this year.

It’ll be interesting to see how long the buzz surrounding Lambert’s pushing-the-envelope performance lasts given the vastly different media landscape that exists just a few years after the infamous Britney/Madonna moment. Feel free to share your thoughts about it in the comments.
