Ellen DeGeneres does such great interviews – check out the Adam Lambert/Ellen interview video clip, where they talk about his controversial AMA performance.

Adam Lambert says during the Ellen interview: “It was maybe a little too far. I think in hindsight I look back on it and I go, ‘OK, maybe that wasn’t the best first impression to make again, the first second impression.’ I mean, I had fun up there, I had a good time, my dancers had fun and the band had fun.”
