Singaporeans petition to boot singer Adam Lambert out of NYE concert for his overly sexual shows

Adam Lambert may have been a hit on American Idol but 13,000 Singaporeans have signed an online petition trying to get him booted off the stage at the citystate's largest New Year's eve concert because they say his performances are overly sexual.

The petition, addressed to concert organiser Mediacorp, the Singapore government and culture minister Grace Fu, says a performance by the openly gay Lambert is inappropriate and does not align with Singaporean values.

The concert organiser said it was sticking with Lambert, a runner-up on American idol who caused controversy during his 2009 American Music Awards performance when he kissed his male keyboardist and stimulated sexual acts with dancers.

Sex between men is illegal in Singapore.

“We urge the organisers of Countdown 2016 to recognise and respect the values of the majority of Singapore that has voiced its desire to preserve our nation's moral fibre,” reads the petition, which was posted anonymously by a group saying it represented concerned parents.
