ABC Cancels Adam Lambert's 'Good Morning America' Performance
NOV 24, 2009 AT 02:14 PM
Well, if Adam Lambert was upset when ABC and Dick Clark Productions edited his AMA performance, I'm sure he's really upset now: ABC has cancelled his scheduled performance on 'Good Morning America.' It was scheduled to take place tomorrow.
An ABC News spokesperson tells Access, "Given his controversial live performance on the AMAs we were concerned about airing a similar concert so early in the morning."
Well, maybe Adam shares the philosophy that any press is better than no press. We're hearing a lot more about him than the person who actually won 'American Idol' his year! Do you think ABC is over-reacting?

He shouldn't have did that crotch shit on public television. No pity for him at all.
I'm sure with all the publicity he's going to rake outta this, he won't miss your pity too much.

I knew he reminded me of someone! Thank you. ; )
He took a risk and knew it, now, he has to deal with the decision he made.
Keep you head up Adam, And keep on doing you,, You will make it through this small obstical
This is ridiculous! He didn't do anything worse than Britney or even Miley Cyrus has done, the problem is that he's openly gay and did it with a guy. That is a double standard. Oh well ABC's loss is CBS's gain.

I'm sorry, but what he did would be consituted as inappropriate if a heterosexual male did it with a female or a homosecual/heterosexual woman did it. If Britney opened her legs and had some man or woman shake their head around in her crotch their would be a crap storm of backlash. Don't pull the gay card.
Not for nothing, but ABC knew what his performace entailed before they went on with the show.... didn't they have dress rehersals?!? If it was Madonna or Britney this wouldn't even be an issue.

They did, but even Adam said it was spur of the moment and wasn't in the rehearsal.

it won't be long before everyone is saying Adam who?
These big corporates tend to err on caution's side these days.
But then again, if Lambert has the right to be flamboyant, ABC has the right to direct their show in their preferred direction.

Like I said yesterday....I hope this blows up in his face(as in I hope this stunt doesnt get him what he wants). I'm tired of these people using vulgarity and lewdness for shock value when all they need is true, genuine, pure talent. If he is truly talented he does not need to resort to such non-sense.

Way to start things off on the right foot. Cause a huge controversy and make a lot of people dislike you.
I'm glad he's getting all this backlash. I just listened to an interview where he said the performance got a "little sexual." Judging by how many times the camera had to quickly pan away and show the audience, I think he toned it down ALOT during dress rehearsal.
Then he tried to say that everyone else had stuff that was just as bad in his performance (such as the riffles during Rihanna's performance or Lady Gaga smashing whiskey bottles). He's delusional.
The only good part about his performance was watching him face plant when he was going up those stairs. I couldn't even begin to tell you what song he sang.
wow don't you sound like a kind hearted lady....what a b1tch you are....making fun of him because he's gay? stop being so ignorant and close minded. women has been doing this for years and they got away with it, so why is it when he does it you're happy that he got face plant going down the stairs.
@Anon 3:53...you're a jackass. The poster above you made no reference to his sexuality...she simply stated that she was glad he face planted..presumably b/c she found his performance vulgar and disturbing. Stop trying to force your own agenda down people's throats.
Thank you for pointing this out...when i read what anon wrote I was so confused as to where the gay part they went off about came in.

I have nothing against someone's sexuality. I have plenty of gay/lesbian friends. I would rather people keep their sexual exploits in private, just like the straight couple I saw at the bar the other night who were practically getting it on on the dance floor disgusted me.
Okay people, where is the love? It's time for a dance off!
Yes your gay. Big shock effects on the tube. Next please.

His latest comment about it is "i'm not a babysitter". well, thats true, but you need to remember who is buying your sucky album too! Piss off the parents of the teeny boppers and you'll see how quick your sales plummet.
My 14 year old, naive & innocent niece likes this revolting talentless douche. He can't sing or dance & seems to be only good at making a ridiculous spectacle of himself. There are many truly talented performers in this country, for some reason, the freaks are the ones that end up on tv, screeching totally offkey & doing their porno thing. Yuck. This douche won't be making any $ off my family.
It's obvious that you have issues with gay people. You need to get over them.
he's a Diva, please enough with all the sexual stuff, just fen sing already!

well that's one way to keep the press talking about him while his cd is out.
All the hate! All the shock! LOL! Go and read your bibles and shield your kids eyes from the scary gay man! Go Adam! Go and continue making 45-year-old white women cry!
Wow, you can call others homophobes, but you are a racist??? There is a time and a place for such things, and it has nothing to do with the fact that he is gay. Elton John is a gay musician, and incredibly talented. He doesn't need to mimic oral sex on prime time tv to get talked about. Enough with the flamboyancy, it really is sickening, almost as sickening as his screeching.

It's kind of sad whe someone's only assett right now is the controversy of his sexuality. Think he's doing other homosexuals a favor right now? I don't think so. Maybe he should focus on trying to be talented. Seems like he doesn't know his audience very well. You know who votes for American Idol? The same people who think his performance was vulgar. It wasn't the kiss that got people talking. He could have left it at that, but know it was shoving that guys face into his crotch and simulating a blow job. Tasteless.

He actually is talented and can sing - although I admit, he did not sing well on the AMAs. I don't think he needs to resort to shock value, but obviously he wants to stir stuff up.
i just think it was a TERRIBLE performance....all shock value aside. it was the worst performance that i have seen in a very long time
Well, its their option and its their show. Adam can just go proceed to other shows.
Yes, MeeMee (really clever name lol) I am a racist because I point out that he makes suburban white soccer mom's cry in their minivans! LOL! Sorry, if that bothers you. But all the crying and moaning is coming from middle america who cannot take seeing a gay man on television. All this cr*p about "the children! the children!" It is NOT always about the children. They should not be up at 11 anyway! Some adults can handle sexuality and some, including yourself, say that sexuality (especially gay sexuality) is disgusting. Go back to your 3 little kids and your office worker husband and shove your homophobic words up....

11pm is not late for 12-15 year olds, especially when its a family show that has been on for decades and is rated PG. Your gayplayboytoy knew this and chose to force his wishes/agenda/whatever on a population that had no idea it was coming. If he wants to make a laughingstock of himself by pretending he's sexy, he can go ahead and do it somewhere else. There was no warning by ABC that Glamberace was going to do a soft core porn act. So why don't you go back to your lonely childless single life and your nothing job and shove your hateful words up your...
I think it's hilarious that this is causing so much debate.
I could care less if he's gay or straight, I just wish he'd sang more and "ground" less.
I am disappointed that someone so talented found it 'entertainment' and chose to perform it in this type of venue.
Surely his performing abilities still extend past smut?

I found a HOTTEST interracial club ========"InterracialSingleOnline---C om"========for black Women and white Men, or black Men and white Women, to interact with each other. Interracial is not a problem here, but a great merit to cherish!
This is a complete double standard! It was late night TV, and he did nothing that Britney, Xtina or even PINK has not done.. COME ON!!! Its because he is gay and he shoved a MANS face in his crouch.. THATS IT!!!! So many hypocrites and double standards for men and women..... Just like all the grown women talking about Taylor Lautner and his body and ohhh'ing and ahhh"ing... UM.. if a man was talking about Miley Cyrus that way.. he would be beheaded!
Raise your kids right and mind your own business.. if you dont like it... TURN THE TV OFF! Its that simple.... WOW!
