Adam Lambert Is Still Not Apologizing For It

After being unceremoniously dropped by Good Morning America yesterday, Adam Lambert appeared on CBS' The Early Show this morning to talk about all the madness surrounding his "outrageous" performance during last weekend's American Music Awards.

During the pre-taped interview with Maggie Rodriguez, he discussed the criticism of the inappropriateness of his performance by saying “I’m not a babysitter, I ‘m a performer.”

He also continued drill home that there is a double standard and he's only being targeted because he's gay.

“Lady Gaga, smashing whiskey bottles, Janet Jackson grabbing a male dancer’s crotch, Eminem talked about how Slim Shady has 17 rapes under his belt,” he said. “There was a lot of very adult material on the AMAs this year, and I know I wasn’t the only one.”

Adding, “If it had been a female pop performer doing the moves that were on the stage I don’t think there’d be nearly as much of an outrage at all…I think it’s a double whammy. I think it’s because I’m a gay male."

But when CBS rebroadcast part of his performance, they blurred out the image of Adam kissing a man, but in that same piece, they showed the image of Madonna kissing Britney. Talk about double standards!



Update: CBS responds to why they blurred out Adam's man-on-man kiss, but showed Madonna's famous 2007 kiss with Britney Spears.
Said a A CBS representative: "We gave this some real thought. The Madonna image is very familiar and has appeared countless times, including many times on morning television. The Adam Lambert image is a subject of great current controversy, has not been nearly as widely disseminated and, for all we know, may still lead to legal consequences."

What a load of bull!
