http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20091124/ap_en_ot/us_tv_lambert ABC said it felt burned because Lambert went further on the air with sexuality than he did in rehearsals - including the kiss. But the man putting his face to Lambert's crotch was included in a rehearsal, according to an Associated Press reporter who attended the rehearsal. It was that sort of unpredictability that bothered ABC, particularly on a morning show with many young viewers watching.
Hay, two men kissing is WAAAAY worse than the oral sex, amirite?
Jackasses.
"Rather than back ABC's decision to temper such trash, CBS is compounding the problem and rewarding Lambert with not one but two TV appearances," said Dan Gainor, the group's vice president.
You are an inflamed, hypocritical, homophobic asshole, Dan Gainor.
Asked what he'd do differently if he had the chance, Lambert said, "I would sing it a little bit better." Lady Gaga smashed whiskey bottles during her performance, Eminem rapped about rape and Janet Jackson briefly groped a male dancer.
Two men kissing WAAAAY worse than rapping about RAPE. That, my friends, is just out of bounds. But rape is entertaining, and we have to worry about the kids staying up til midnight who might be seeing these guys kiss. Janet groping… also not a problem. Compared to an openly gay man showing male interest. And anyway Madonna's already done the simulated oral sex.
Sadly this is the only YouTube vid that I could find it's posted by a homophobe. What people are failing to mention is the S&M bits at the beginning, dancers in harnesses and leashes, and various dancers grinding on him (but we don't care about the female dancers near his crotch!).

Ignore the dickishness of the comments.
I don't watch American Idol because they're pretty transphobic (and anti-fat), but I enjoy Adam Lambert's singing. I'm kind of glad he lost AI, because this meant that he got an album on his own, very quickly, and is a pretty big star in his own right. People are just going to have to deal with him, because the more they fuss, the bigger he's gonna be.
