‘Good Morning America’ passes on Lambert performance

Fresh off an over-the-top performance on the American Music Awards, Adam Lambert was scheduled to appear on a number of late night and morning talk shows this coming week. As of this morning, Eleventh Hour has learned “Good Morning America” has decided to avoid any chance of a repeat performance, kissing his Wednesday morning concert goodbye.
Lambert’s risque performance Sunday evening caused quite a fuss for ABC and Dick Clark Productions, receiving almost 1,500 complaints from viewers. Soon after the “Good Morning America” announcement of the cancellation, “The Early Show” on CBS jumped on the opportunity to remind everyone the runner-up of “American Idol” season eight would still be appearing Wednesday morning to perform and discuss Sunday’s controversy.
Below is a post interview with Adam Lambert discussing his performance.
I understand the times that we are in where every act is trying to trump one another to gain attention in the media. Similar past performances like the Madonna and Britney Spears’ kiss and Janet Jackson and Justin Timberlake’s Super Bowl ‘mishap’ may have created similar buzz but this was the first male-male interaction. Lambert did trump Spears and the Super Bowl for shock value and when you look at it, it’s all entertainment and ABC knew that. You can always change the channel.
