The performer finally conceded to change the act and Honestly I am just relieved that our concerns regarding the national stage actually reached the organizers in the end. It remains important to keep watching what gets put on our platforms especially for the sake of the kids but for now …

This Petition is now CLOSED!
This petition was meant to appeal to the better judgment of the Organisers to reconsider their choice of foreign performers in Countdown 2016, on the basis of inclusion of the young and the often cited silent majority in Singapore who continue to uphold values that appear contrary to the liberal west.
It is never “just entertainment”, especially when the national stage is used. Unfortunately, our concerns to address the probability of lewd acts on a public platform have been downplayed and turned into yet another political LGBT rights issue.
Thankfully, the performer himself has responded that he will be putting on a different show [link to Warner Music Singapore FB page:https://www.facebook.com/warnermusicsingapore/?fref=ts], which is hopefully in better taste and shows greater restraint.
We urge for the sensibilities of Singaporeans to prevail in our individual choice of entertainment and discernment of influences.
We are thus closing this petition in good faith that our concerns have been heard and with the hope that the Authorities and Organisers will act for the public good and future of our nation.
Thank you to those of you who supported this cause and for your heart in wanting to keep our national platforms family friendly.

The feedback honestly keeps pouring into my inbox and I am still trying to process the sheer volume of messages from people who feel just as ignored as I do. It feels like we are finally starting to rattle some cages because the conversation is shifting from just a simple performance to the actual values we want to see on our biggest stages.

We are getting so incredibly near that ten thousand mark and it honestly makes me want to scream because the momentum is just sitting right there dangling in front of us. If everyone reading this just grabs their phone and sends the link to a few people right now we could actually knock this thing out of the park before the organizers even realize what hit them.

We are crawling toward that first hundred mark and honestly I think we need a real surge right now because the organizers are watching these numbers like hawks. My coffee is cold and I am just staring at the screen wondering who else can get this link out there before the end of the day because the momentum feels a bit sluggish if I am being totally honest.

I have nothing against him as a person but his indecent performances (regardless of his sexual orientation) assert a negative influence on our family-oriented society, for which I am concerned about and, for which, I feel entitled to voice my concern.
Whilst I enjoy Adam Lambert's voice since his "Mad World" performance in American Idol, his subsequent work and performances are at times deviant. Is this someone you want your kids to emulate? Do you want them to be desensitized to such deviance?
Having such an artiste with sexually provocative acts and with strong and open support for LGBT movement is not wholesome for family viewing and inappropriate for our celebration in Singapore which upholds conservative values. He should be replaced.
Adam Lambert’s unpredictable offensive acts already caused uproar in his country. Do we want to take the risk and be sorry later if he repeats his unpredictable offensive acts on stage where youngsters may construe the acts as normal and cheer on?
The leaders of our media must not trade in our morals just to attract a crowd/earn the tourist dollar. There are many other quality alternatives and more wholesome ways to end the year well and usher 2016. Pls ban Adam Lambert from performing in SG.
you religous bigots are the actual controversy to the whole entire nation. huge disgrace. adam's performance last night was amazing! people like you who discriminates should NOT have a place in singapore, we celebrate equality, not discriminate.
They are just a brainwashed hate group.

This petition is misleading. MediaCorp has already stated that the performance will adhere to the same guidelines as any other program to ensure it is family appropriate. Banning artists from performing because of their private life is not the answer.
