Apparently Adam Lambert's act will not be gracing morning TV news program Good Morning America.
ABC.com reports that the controversial American Idol runner-up Adam Lambert is off the schedule.
Adam's power-shriek performance drew over 1500 actual phoned-in complaints and broke barriers for primetime network TV with man-on-man simulated sex acts, female crotch fondling/near gynecological exam and was finally capped off by a passionate open mouth kiss with a male musician.
Lambert fired back on CNN and claimed double-standards and discrimination, saying that female acts have pushed these gender-bending boundaries for years.
An ABC spokeswoman said, “Given his controversial American Music Awards performance, we were concerned about airing a similar concert so early in the morning.”
