It’s becoming a battle of the drama-laden, soon to be has-beens, over at “Good Morning America.” After Adam Lambert dragged his muffin-top around stage in leather, made out with dudes, fingered ladies, and simulated blow-jobs to the most mundane music created, ABC dropped him from their morning show. Only to book a dude that beats women. In TV, you see, it’s often the lesser of two evil celebrities.**
Not to say Adam Lambert is as evil as Chris Brown. He is, strangely, more annoying. But has a much better singing voice. “Good Morning America” was going to have Brown on to do a tell all — industry lingo for apologizing repeatedly for beating a woman — and performances of songs from his new album.
Here’s what I propose. There shouldn’t be a controversy over Good Morning’s bookings. There, instead, should be a giant cage where they put pop stars and have them box each other. Seriously. Cause I bet you if you played Adam Lambert and Chris Brown’s albums on repeat, I wouldn’t be able to tell the difference between them. And in a way, that makes me as guilty as the people doing GMA’s bookings.
When asked to comment about the situation, ABC had this to say about Adam Lambert, “He was not canceled over a gay kiss. He showed himself to be unpredictable on live TV.” To which I say, “Come on.” Everyone knew Adam Lambert was going to try to be shocking.
Bad form, “Good Morning America.” It’s a good thing I’m not up early enough to watch you. Maybe you can book them both and have a debate on terrible album covers.
**For fangirls that can’t notice sarcasm, this was it. Maybe it needed to sparkle?

So a gay man isn't quite as evil as a man who beats a woman. I'll make note of that on my George W Bush "Evil Doers" chart.

Funny how you interpret the "lesser evil". For you the convicted one is a lesser evil?

So tell me again, because I must have missed something. Adam Lambert is evil because he..... is gay......is a performer...... Was responsible for raising thousands of dollars for schools...... For mentoring other performers........ For being a good son, and brother, and grandson......For helping to boost sales of rival artists, so people will know a variety of good music.........For being a kind thoughtful friend....For being wonderful to his fans.......For producing a spectacular CD. ...For ?

They probably had a lot of pressure coming at them from certain people who weren’t happy about it. I respect their decision - I don’t necessarily agree with it, but they need to do what they need to do.”

Adam Lambert deserved to win American Idol. ABC is goofy to cancel him and put Chris Brown on. CBC was very wise to have him on their shows. I watched and taped both shows and watched him sing several times and showed them to friends.

Wow. What a pathetic attempt at a news article. Go back to journalism school, because this sure as hell is not good writing. And FYI, Adam did not finger anyone. Stop writing false crap, idiot. And if you can't tell the difference between Adam's and Chris' albums, you should probably be a little worried, might want to get your hearing checked out. Adam is an AMAZING singer. Chris is a has been and a woman beater. If you're going to write pathetic crap like this, please just don't write at all...it's sickening.

GMA made their choice. CBS Early Show made their choice, and Adam was great - wonderful interview and excellent renditions of two of the songs on his album. Hope you have another job. Can't imagine you make a living by writing.

What ever the reason or argument, no woman deserves to be beaten and abused. If a man feels the urge to hit a woman, he should be adult enough to walk away. But if the man feels grown enough to hit a woman, he should be grown enough to go to jail.

You sir, are as LAME as GMA/ABC. ADAM LAMBERT is twice the human being as Chris Brown and for that matter 'you' too. You wouldn't know true talent if it slapped you in the head. I suggest you look for another job you are obviously UNDERQUALIFIED for this one ... hope you lose it soon!!!!

If you think Adam and Chris sound the same, you really need your ears checked. To have Chris Brown on instead of Adam is rediculous. They say they think Adam will do another 'inappropriate' performance, but yet they let a guy who beats girls on the show. Wow, coming up with more and more reasons why I won't watch GMA. Beating girls is by far worse then what Adam did, give me a break, so dumb.

Adam deserved to be banned and still does. He thinks he is a Rock God! To tak the AMAs which was a huge opportunity and be that bad(singing and tripping) and digusting was an embarrassment to American Idol and to ABC. If Adam had been a sucessful artist already then he would have had a little grace maybe like Madonna. But Adam just showed his true colors and Idol had to ship him off the Europe for things to cool down. I cant believe that Allison who is all of 17 is going to open for him. So all those teenagers are going to see the way Adam behaves! Trust me this will be a big mistake, but Adam can not sell out venues without help of two openers. SAD!!!
