I don't really care for what he did on the AMAs but I don't agree with cancelling his other concert at all. I think they could have just given him a
fair warning and let it pass. Because despite this performance w hich sucked, he's usually done a great performance at other venues including AI.

I agree with this. Way too extreme to cancel his appearance on a morning show.




I'm really clueless about how award shows work. They kept saying "Stay tuned for a performance form Adam Lambert that everyone will be talking about
tomorrow" and stuff like that. And yet, apparently ABC had no idea what Adam was going to do. Do they not attend the rehearsals for the performances? I
find it hard to believe that they were completely clueless about the nature of Adam's performance.

From the other post...

LOS ANGELES (Reuters) - ABC television said on Monday it had
received about 1,500 complaints about the sexually-charged performance
by "American Idol"
runner-up Adam Lambert at the American Music Awards on Sunday.

Millions of viewers saw Lambert simulate oral sex with a back-up
dancer, plant a passionate kiss on the mouth of a male keyboard player
and gesture to the
audience with his middle finger during the closing act of the live
music awards show.

Lambert, 27, said his goal was "not to piss people off, it was to promote freedom of expression and artistic freedom".

ABC cut the most controversial part of his act -- Lambert rubbing
the face of a male dancer in his crotch -- from the U.S. West Coast
telecast that aired
later on Sunday.

But by then, the singer's racy rendition of his debut single "For
Your Entertainment" was already on its way to becoming one of the most
provocative TV moments in the music industry since Madonna and Britney Spears kissed on the MTV Video Music Awards show in 2003.

Adam Lambert was among the top 10 most popular topics on Twitter on Monday.

American Music Awards producers, Dick Clark
Productions, said they were unaware from rehearsals what Lambert had planned. "We did not expect the impromptu moments," a spokeswoman told
Reuters.

An estimated 14.2 million viewers watched the "American Music
Awards" telecast, the largest audience since 2002, ABC said, based on
preliminary
viewing figures.

Lambert, 27, who publicly declared he was gay after "American Idol"
ended in May, said his act with dancers in bondage costumes, was no
different
from the erotic performances of some female pop singers. He added that
much of the sexual energy he brought to Sunday's show was "in the
moment."

"Adrenaline is a crazy, crazy, crazy feeling. Some of the things I
love most about performing is when you're up there and all of the
sudden you
just have these feelings, this rush that comes over you," Lambert told
CNN afterward.

The Federal Communications Commission (FCC), which has strict rules on the broadcast of indecent or profane material, said it could not confirm or deny
receiving complaints.

The FCC fined CBS $550,000 for broadcasting a fleeting glimpse of
Janet Jackson's breast to roughly 90 million TV viewers of the 2004 Super Bowl half-time show, which Jackson famously blamed on a wardrobe malfunction.

It was unclear whether ABC could be at risk of an FCC fine because
Lambert's performance was broadcast around 11 pm in most of the nation,
outside the
FCC's 6am-10pm time frame prohibiting the broadcast of indecent
material.
