ABC Boycotts Adam Lambert; CBS Welcomes Him

Good Morning America isn’t interested in allowing Adam Lambert to express his “artistic freedom and expression” on their clock. However, CBS has no problem with it!

Two days after Adam shocked viewers of the American Music Awards with his racy act — during which he simulated oral sex with a male dancer, kissed his male bandmate, grabbed his crotch and flipped off the crowd — ABC’s morning show canceled his scheduled performance that was to take place on Wednesday.

“Given his controversial American Music Awards performance, we were concerned about airing a similar concert so early in the morning,” a rep for the network said.

A source tells Star that ABC — which broadcast the AMAs — was flooded with calls from angry viewers following Sunday night’s show, which aired live on the East Coast and was edited on the West Coast.

“After a special meeting was called, producers agreed they couldn’t risk Adam acting up, especially since a lot of their audience is moms with small kids,” says the source. “GMA is doing great in the ratings and the show would jeopardize possibly losing viewers to Today if Adam pulled a stunt like he did over the weekend.”

Adding: “Allowing him to appear is just too dangerous and a risk GMA does not want to — nor can they afford to — take.”

“You know honestly, if I offended some people… it’s apples and oranges,” he said. “I’m not an artist that does things for every single person. I believe in artistic freedom and expression, I believe in honoring the lyrics of a song, and those lyrics aren’t really for everybody either.”

I watched the “live feed” and It didn’t even cross my mind that he was being “offensive” I just thought “Hey it’s Adam- he’s doing what Adam wants to do”

Ya I know he “made out with a guy on national television, and yes he did flip the bird to millions of viewers- but come on- so what? I say good for him.

If Adam would have won American Idol they would have clipped his artistic wings. I say if Lady Gaga can do crazy ridiculous things- why not Adam Lambert?
