What ABC lost is CBS' gain. Adam Lambert has confirmed that he will still be performing live on Wednesday, November 25, only it will be on The Eye's "The Early Show" instead of "Good Morning America".
Adam invited criticisms when he made an impromptu performance at American Music Awards on Sunday that included a middle finger sign to the audience, an oral sex simulation and a kiss with his male keyboardist. ABC released a statement saying, "Given his controversial live performance on the AMAs we were concerned about airing a similar concert so early in the morning."
Adam actually has been booked to tape a performance for "Early Show". However, since ABC made a pass on him, CBS switched it to a live performance. According to the press release, Adam will not perform "For Your Entertainment" which he sang at AMAs but two other songs from his new album.
CBS also said that Adam will sit in for an interview where he would "discuss his recent controversial 'American Music Awards' performance." Executive producer of the show Zev Shalev revealed, "We spoke to them about who our audience is and our expectations. He's a very smart, sophisticated performer."
Adam had visited Ryan Seacrest's radio show to express his feeling toward ABC's cancellation. "Obviously, I respect their decision - they gotta do what they gotta do. It's too bad - I think there were a lot of fans who were excited to come see me," he said, adding "They probably had a lot of pressure coming at them from certain people who weren't happy about it."
Beside "Early Show", Adam will be pretty much on every talk shows in the next few weeks. He had pre-taped a performance of "Whataya Want From Me" for a "Late Show with David Letterman" episode airing on Wednesday night. There's also "The Ellen DeGeneres Show" which will have him on Tuesday, December 1.

IF parents allowed their children to watch the entire AMA's broadcast,and then decided at the last minute that they were offended, then they weren't paying attention. The entire show had a definite adult theme, even miss innocent herself Carrie Underwood was scantily clad, surrounded by dancers who also were scantily clad dancing on chairs and having their breasts rubbed by male dancers. Oh, but that's male-female right? Get over it people, it will only help Adam's career. He has said it was probably a little much. I bought his CD as soon as it hit the shelves. He is a brilliant performer.
By making his statement - his talent is taking a back seat. What does he value most?
I am soooo tired of hearing about all the kids watching. So f-ing what? The world is NOT YOUR BABYSITTER. This is the opportunity to ACTUALLY SPEAK to your kids and educate them. The parents who are pissed, are so because this forces them to telk with their kids and makes them have to face reality. Quit sheltering your kids so much and tell them the truth about life. Maybe then they won't go on a shooting rampage in some office or mall.
Please!...it's entertainment!...we live in 2009 now..people need to stop making things a big deal out of nothing...if you are to conservative..just simply don't watch it!!! go Lambert!!!
i mean come on! Adam Lambert serioulsy needs to control himself! There were little kids watching that! Thats performance was outrageous, I am so glad he didnt become the American Idol, he just doesnt desrve it.
Lambert is a shock rock. His kind of vulgarity is not for TV except for the PV porn channels. I'll take my wallet in the opposite direction.
Double standard as always... people are fine with vulgarity on TV as long as it comes in the forms of beautiful women, but put a gay man on TV and have him do the same as Madonna, Brittany, Christina, etc, etc, etc... then watch all the people get up in arms. Laughable.
