I think it’s already over everywhere except in the Idol bubble, where for some reason we like to rehash everything a million times. Since ABC backpedaled and is having Chris Brown on 20/20 instead of GMA, with no live performance, there’s just no more juice to the story. I expect to see Tiger in the headlines today, not Adam.

Yup!!

Here’s the thing I don’t get about all the angry Adam fans ‘ ¦ because of all the ‘outrage’ Adam sold a lot more records than he otherwise would have done. If you don’t believe me, check out how fast his album is falling on iTunes after those first few days of big sales.

He has no radio play, so the controversy was his best friend. Why are so many of his fans angry at the one thing that saved his sales?

He’d better find a way to upset some more people quickly, or else that album is going to drop down the charts just as fast as Kris’s.

LMAO!!! I am a fan but i am not angry fan. So i disagree with you sweeping statement. IMHO, some fans might be disappointed (i think angry is a strong word) because of ignorant statements are being posted by ignorant people. And for trolling hate. Hate is not good. LMAO! Personally, i am not angry. Why should i be angry if people are buying Adam’s CDs. LMAO!!!

But while lurking all the major sites (not just here, which isn’t a full impression), the majority of Adam fans aren’t the least bit angry at him.

It was interesting going to the Early Show a few days ago, and seeing the fans there. There were quite a few who didn’t like the AMA performance, but were still adament supporters of his. And then there were those, like me, who weren’t at all bothered by the AMAs. I really think the emotion of the first day or so took hold, but once that subsided, I see very few hardcore Adam fans up in arms over the incident.

IMO, regardless of the motivation, ABC’s canceling Adam’s GMA appearance was the great miscalculation

ITA – that cancellation may have been one of the best things to happen to Adam. It actually got people really talking about the double standard, and other related issues, and made Adam much more sympathetic in the whole scheme of things. He never played victim – as others said, he took complete responsibility for what he did, but that actually made it all the better. He owned up to it, didn’t shy away, and in the end ABC came off the worst for making a decision that many, even those who didn’t like the AMA performance, viewed as foolish, and made for foolish reasons.

I know what you mean…
Sometimes, Mr. Lambert “the man” generates more interest than his music… (i’m not really into electronica and disco)… then again, “interesting” doesn’t always translate to me as something “positive”… as evident from Sunday’s event

Oh I didn’t know that! Interesting!

Here’s the source article if you’re interested.

I wish Tiger no ill will, but thank God.

Maybe Tiger Wood’s mysterious car crash (according to TMZ the scratches on his face were made by his wife and she was attacking his car with a golf club, not trying to rescue him) will put the AMA story on the back burner. One can only hope.

It really has been rather fascinating to watch this all unfold, in my view.

BTW, that’s not to say that I believe ABC was duped by Adam, as opposed to complicit (or at least hopeful) in starting controversy with his performance. They pumped his performance and its eye-dropping, jaw-dropping spectacle at every turn. And now, if there was any doubt before, he falls squarely within the ABC created moniker of one of the “most fascinating” people of the year. So, yeah, my gut tells me that ABC had a flow chart ready to go, lining up plans A, B, C and D depending on which direction the inevitable fallout from the AMAs took… Ratings are god.

Adam had the pimp cane but ABC’s is bigger, IMO.

LOL!

I don’t know if Adam sold more or less CDs due to his AMA performance and I am not sure it was a good long term move for Adam to put on a raunchy performance straight out of the Idol gate so to speak. Having to hear about it over and over is getting old. Maybe Tiger Wood’s mysterious car crash (according to TMZ the scratches on his face were made by his wife and she was attacking his car with a golf club, not trying to rescue him) will put the AMA story on the back burner. One can only hope.

You’re saying he didn’t adhere to the rehearsal version of his performance on the AMAs and the censors were taken by surprise, yet it’s BS that they thought he might do same thing again (go off script) on the morning show. He himself said he was carried away in moment, so I don’t think it was at all far fetched for them to think it might happen again.

I think it’s a cop out. A morning show is a helluva lot different than the AMA’s. All they had to do is ask Adam not to perform FYE again but no. Adam wasn’t responsible to ABC but the AMA’s which is owned by Dick Clark Productions. I believe It was strictly a business decision loss of revenue and fanatical right wing groups threatening to take it to FCC that made them cancel the Adam’s GMA performance.

music-wise, i never understood the need to like the artist, just as i never understood the need to buy a whole album, when i only liked 1 or 2 songs.

until adam.

im a fan of him,the music and man.

and short of him declaring world war 3, most likely will be till forever.

the other celebrity i admire is angelina jolie. i guess i like people i admire to be just as open about their good side and bad side.

IMO, the real reason for ABC’s actions in cancelling GMA is that Adam didn’t adhere to his rehearsal version of his performance closely enough, and the ‘bleepers’  were taken by surprise, given their expectations. With Eminem (and others), I’m sure that the ‘bleepers’  were prepared for censoring some parts of his song because they were knew what was coming from rehearsals. It’s a ‘punishment’  for that, and really has nothing to do with ABC’s public statement that they couldn’t trust Adam to not give an ‘inappropriate’  performance for morning television (which I think is BS).

Networks are answerable to sponsors
