First Look: Adam Lambert’s For Your Entertainment Video

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 quickly 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?

In the number choreographed by So You Think You Can Dance‘s Tabitha and Napoleon D’umo, Jennifer taps into moves from her Fly Girl days while pretending to sing live at the same time.
