“American Idol” runner-up Adam Lambert will incorporate leather, chains and handcuffs into his performance for the 37th Annual American Music Awards.

Adam Lambert will be performing a sexed-up version of his song “For Your Entertainment,” the first single that went out recently from his upcoming album of the same name. Adam says he’s eager to see how the audience would respond to his performance. He said, “I can’t wait to see people I look up to as artists in the audience watching. I think that will be a trip, and exciting and motivating all at the same time, It will be really interesting to see what kind of reaction the number gets. It’s different. It really does have an edge to it.”

Apparently, Lambert planned a performance that’s heavy on leather and chains. It would also include Lambert dragging a shackled woman across the stage.

Aside from Adam, other performers include Jennifer Lopez, Rihanna, Whitney Houston, Green Day, Lil’ Wayne, Lady Gaga, Eminem, Keith Urban, Jay-Z and Carrie Underwood.

Janet Jackson will open the show with a medley of songs, but producer Larry Klein wouldn’t say whether her performance would be a tribute to her late brother Michael.

The ceremony will be broadcast live on ABC from the Nokia Theatre on Sunday.
