Eww. Not only was he obviously uncomfortable even with the cheek kiss and feeling pressured to let it happen because of the power dynamics of the moment, there are so many gender and social issues with this. Is he supposed to feel honored that a famous pop star popped his kissing cherry without his consent, on national TV? How is it possible that, even after all the sexual harassment news that has been coming to the surface, sexual contact between judge and contestant on American Idol still isn't strictly off-limits? So gross that it's being laughed off even by AI itself as a "kiss for good luck." I don't care who is on the receiving end and who is on the doing end. This shouldn't happen, ever. Certainly not without consent.

I don't have a super strong opinion about it, but when I watched yesterday I found it kinda cute. Shame on me - I am not even a KP fan - but I think it ain't that deep and I can't get too upset about it. I know, my opinion isn't politically correct.

I didn't see it as a big deal either but the climate has changed. I remember when a hot guy surprised and kissed someone on stage/tv and the meltdown and all the eww's that followed. That same hot guy, on tour a few times, went into the audience and kissed a girl and a guy and we all enjoyed watching it. Now I think he would know NOT to ever do any of that again. It would no longer be viewed as fun but as some type of harassment or worse assault. Everyone has to be really careful now. Katy can't put herself in that position again either, tho, she thought she was having fun with a light moment.

exactly. and when Adam pulled the guy's face into his crotch and kissed Tommy he said he knew they'd be ok with it. I rolled my eyes and said, maybe not on national tv. The crowd surfing and fan kissing I think is a bit different. I watched part of the 2nd episode and the "he's too sexy for me to look at" was over done too.

Tommy had already told Adam that he could do whatever on stage, so Adam already knew Tommy would be fine with it. Tommy loves the shock value if it. I don't know about the dancer.
