LOS ANGELES, Calif. --

Fans might be divided on whether Adam Lambert’s racy AMA performance crossed the line on Sunday night, but keyboardist Tommy Ratliff – who Adam kissed onstage – says the performance was just right.

“Tonight’s going to be INSANE!!!,” Tommy Tweeted before taking the stage at the Nokia Theatre in LA.

And following the racy performance of “For Your Entertainment,” where Adam simulated fellatio with a male dancer and deep-tongue kissed Tommy, the keyboardist was still pumped about the onstage theatrics

“Thanks SOO much to everyone that watched!!!!” he wrote in another Twitter post. “‘Rock n Roll is a prostitute…it should be tartted up.’”

And it appears the latest kiss seen round the U.S. had Tommy’s phone blowing up.

“My phones dyin! Thanks so much everyones you guys are amazing!” he wrote. “Ill ‘tweet’ when I get to ny, werre gettin of the plane”

Adam Lambert is scheduled to perform on “The Late Show with David Letterman” on Monday night.
