[libraglam]

ABC sucks. They are whole bunch of violent and  criminal people working in the ABC management . Chris Brown is a criminal ! Good report on this video !!

Breezy all the way! He has so much talent and shouldn't listen to all the jealous haters.And I 'm a straight guy so I definitely don't wanna see two guys kissing on camera;)

[cdmnumber3fan]

@badman4243 What?

[Dovebar22]

[NEWRNBDAILY1]

@Dovebar22

LMFAO!!! Chris Brown a teen? He's 21 you fucking faggot.

[GerardIsVeryCool]

these are twooo totally different circumstances in two years charlie sheen would not be accountable for gun butting his girlfriend or miley cyrus for doing drugs but two years later people are on chris brown get a life!

[Alirenat]

ok.Britney and Maddona...thats okey!Normal kissings on stage!

but Adam was doing wrong!

hates you!

Adam veryyy coool...and i want see him on TV!

[SuperFreakshow18]

Brown is just a bad example to our youth....He should definitely be banned from any public appearances. And ABC and GMA, shame on you. I was disgusted by that lady appologizing and inviting this Punk back to her show. Shame on you!!!

[satha100]

ABC is very Suck !!!! So double standard!!!

[ArtisticFaces]

This just shows how sad America is.. Everyone is so scared by a simple fun kiss, but breaking a window with innocent people walking underneath it is ok (not to mention what he did to Rihanna, physically and emotionally. She'll never be the same.)

[Zephirel]

@yeahokay1500 Hello, troglodyte from Westboro

[JuneauXena]

I'm sure more parents are offended by Chris Brown's violence than the 1,500 who wrote to ABC to complain about Adam Lambert. And Adam is a huge viewer draw. His appearance on GMA the morning after the AMAs would have sent the show's ratings soaring. Also, live shows have a delay so that objectionable things can be bleeped out. ABC won't own their own failure, and then they blame Adam. All one can conclude from this is that there is antigay bias at the top corporate levels at ABC.

[nissarevenge]

I believe that parents who tolerate violence and still allow their children or whoever still watch someone on tv who are violent and support them as artists or anythign else is just wrong, Adam isn't violent and tries to tell people to love one another and be a good person and be yourself and he gets the boot by ABC.

[leeskerette1]

Ah, yes ~The great American double-standard. We're a joke in many developed countries for our convoluted views, Kids here react to nudity with snickers & nervous laughter, while violent blood-letting draws excited "ooohs" and "ahhhs." Women (objectified still) can kiss each other, or bump and grind on stage ('See the female singers on the '09 AMAs?!?), but -gasp!- don't let the kids see two men appearing to like each other! Ah yes, the USA ~ Land of the guns and home of the self-righteous ...

[lizrdeyes]

Look at CB's whole demeanor during this interview, he seems agitated and doesn't look into the camera or has a real connection with Robin. Anybody who has ever seen Adam being interviewed on Television (Oprah, Ellen, Jay) wiil see a polite, witty and fully engaged person.

I do not envy the woman who has to dance with CB during DWTS or maybe they should let Adam be his partner and then Adam can teach him some manners....

[lulumariemissypu]

I don't feel outraged to see men kissing but I may not want my kid to see it ( may influence them unnecessarily and too early in life) Secondly, I am a huge Adam Lambert fan -the man, the talent and the looks ( so much like Elvis). Lastly, Chris Brown is offensive and out of control-should be banned.

[LolaGlamb]

@lulumariemissypu I have to ask, 'influence' your kid to do what? Go out and kiss a guy? Turn gay? It's not a lifstyle that a kid can be lured into by seeing two guys kissing. And in less uptight Europe, men kiss in greeting all of the time. It's not a crime, nasty, shameful, or somethng that should be hidden, unless we make it that. I know you didn't mean your comment to be negative, but it just struck me funny. Now the other unexpected choreography Adam threw in, I'm with you there.

[lulumariemissypu]

@LolaGlamb If my kid shows homosexual tendencies I'd embrace it and support him in every way . I don't know why I don't like homosexuality thrown out there spontaniously on tv ( however I'd never call in to complain-I just don't care that much about it), my best friend in high school was gay yet I don't endorse homosexuality. Nevertheless I love Adam so much. It's not about sex. It's love for his beautiful spirit and God given talent-and he sure is nice to look at-very sexy ( my fantasy).

[lulumariemissypu]

@LolaGlamb One more thing. Nobody has any idea how hard it is to be a straight Adam Lambert fan ( especially on fan sites etc...) Adam taught me to be honest and to be who I am, yet I get heat for not flying the rainbow flag. I love Adam for who he is ( regardless of sexual orientation) There's more of us-alot of straight ppl dig Adam-that should be something good.

[LolaGlamb]

@lulumariemissypu Well, you have my respect. There's room for differing opinions, viewpoints, and healthy discussion in Adam's world, just as there is, apparently, room for violence, out of control anger, boorish behavior, and double standards at ABC.

[lulumariemissypu]

@LolaGlamb Yes, there is too much violence on tv ( actually I'd pick the kiss over violence-if I had to choose). ABC double standard policy is very unfair. Good for goose-good for gander Chris Brown should be banned.

[maddie486]

Chris Brown is nothing but a piece of garbage at the bottom of a large dump...a no-talent woman-beater who loses all control when he doesn't like something that is said to him. Adam Lambert, on the other hand, is my hero...class all the way & more talent in his little finger than that piece of shit has in his whole garbage dump of a body.

[lourdesstone]

i hope ABC will realize that people are watching and their double standard policy will sink into them.

[xentafy]

Yes it is true - ABC did replace Adam Lambert with Chris Brown right after Adam's AMA performance and that was after Chris Brown beat Rhiana. This is just so disgusting and I am grateful the media is finally calling ABC out on this.

[xentafy]

Good Job for covering this!!! The double standard here is just insane!!! Chris Brown needs serious HELP!! ABC needs to stop enabling him. Adam kissed a guy and gets kick off, how is that fair. Adam hurt NO ONE!! Violence is better than kissing - WHAT BS??? ABC needs to get a grip. I will not watch DWTS again or anything else on ABC.

[edi5289]

I stopped watching ABC shows for quite awhile after their ridiculous over-reaction to Adam Lambert. Recently I made the mistake of giving a little and I was watching some ABC shows, including DWTS. As of this week that is no more - bye bye ABC and your double standard of embracing uncontrollable violence and punishing a kiss.

[adam48141]

I DON'T THINK THAT'S CORRECT THEIR IS A DOUBLE STANDARDS A KISS DOSEN'T HURT ANYONE

[38Twinkletoes]

I will be watching Glee instead, they are not so homophobic on that  network !!

[andam100]

I think ABC probably realized that they overreacted with Adam Lambert and they ended up losing. ABC probably thought that there would be a global outrage over THE KISS and what ended up happening was that Adam got booked right away on a rival show. He was also in demand for more and more interviews. They weren't going to repeat that blunder again

[LolaGlamb]

@andam100 That might make sense, if they weren't still banning him. Other than Barbara Walter's shows, the 10 Most Fascinating People of 2009, and the View the following morning, both pre-taped less Adam do something outrageous, he hasn't appeared on ABC since the AMA's.

[kmd541]

Woman beater vs gay fella. Oh yeah, big double standard. ANd I would not watch DWTS.

[2t2tag]

ABC= kissing between consenting adults--bad. violence against women=good. same sex kissing=bad. uncontrolled anger, property destruction,violence=good. nonviolent affection=bad. acting like an asshole, putting people at risk, physical abuse=good. way to go ABC. good role model you have there. money talks and bullshit walks, and ABC is very,very good a both.

[rentfreak333]

Def double standard! ABC is okay with violence but not okay with a harmless kiss. Bullshit. Fucking bull shit. Can you say stupid ass choice? 4:10 to the end I totally agree

[adamluv1000]

ABC should not only ban Chris Brown but press charges against him. How could he be that angry AFTER his performance? Sounds like a spoiled brat to me. Robin is lucky he didn't decide to go off on her instead of the dressing room. By the way, why did he jerk his shirt off while walking down the hall? Does that make him tough? The boy has serious issues. Don't reward him for being an idiot.

[herewego17]

If there is a God, he is probably scratching his head right now how people can so misinterpret his book.

[kw1960able]

I was watching a Abc program last week MOVIE GREATEST MOMENTS or something like that and they showed the Broke Back Mountain Kiss and this was early in the evening and had no warning. Why are they still banning Adam. I will not go to hell because I do not judge someone on their sexuality. You need to reread your Bible yeahhokay1500.

[joabenn77]

What a revolting excuse for a man this creepy Chris Brown person is!

[LolaGlamb]

@Yeahokay No the definition of giving up your manhood is when you must beat to a pulp someone weaker than you in order to get your way.

[LINDAGDENVER]

Also, ABC has also allowed Charlie Sheen kissing Jimmie Kimmel recently to be televised. Ohhhh, not banned by ABC! Isn't that even taped ahead? ABC, are you suffering from indecisiveness? 

[yeahokay1500]

@LINDAGDENVER Charlie Sheen is not gay. He was just being funny. I doubt he does this in his extra curricular activities. He's surrounded by beautiful women. Not men. Try again

[LINDAGDENVER]

@yeahokay1500 Oh, now I understand. It's OK with ABC to televise two straight guys (Sheen & Kimmel) kissing in fun, just don't allow a gay guy to kiss a straight guy in fun.

[yeahokay1500]

This blonde hair white bitch, would be the first one to drop to her knees and suck Chris Brown's dick if looked at her long enough. She makes me sick to my stomach with her fake outrage!

[LolaGlamb]

It's been 2 yrs since I have watched ABC. Not since the AMA's, and ABC's offensive actions against Adam Lambert, who's choice to throw in last minute, unchoreographed material was not the best, but was the result of excitement and inexperience. ABC's? Inexplicable. The number of complaints that night comes out to roughly 0.00007619% of approximately 21 million viewers. For that, Adam has been banned for 2 years? Well, by all means, bring on Chris Brown. At least we have a real man, right?

[yeahokay1500]

@LolaGlamb Yes we do. Thank God Mr. Brown is not into men. That is the definition of giving up your manhood. Smart ass

[glambert814]

@yeahokay1500 You sound scarier than Chris Brown. Enjoy DWTS. Its pretty idiotic - you'll love it!

[glambert814]

Thank you Showbiz Tonight for making this abomination known to more of the public. You have stood up for Adam in the past and his fans really do appreciate it.

[yeahokay1500]

@glambert814 Fuck Showbiz Tonight. If they want to promote the gay man, let them. I for one am glad some of us still have some morals about our lives. This is just disgusting, for you people to hate Chris Brown because they are willing to work with him. Get over it! You dont wanna watch, there are millions who will! Trust me

[2039marl]

@yeahokay1500 Rather watch Lambert kiss a guy than watch Brown smash Rihanna in the face. 

[ParamoreVzla]

I love how they didn't censor the kiss.. You guys at CNN are awesome!!

[genome38]

Also, Chris's rage was supposedly triggered by being asked AGAIN about the Rihanna assault incident. Adam, on the other hand, has answered questions about the AMAs in THOUSANDS of interviews worldwide (and is still being asked) and has never shown any anger. He owns his behavior, explains it, and even asked his fans not to be angry with ABC. Also, he has never REFUSED to answer questions. ABC deserves their darling Chris Brown, since replacing Adam with him after AMAs........

[hgozzo]

@genome38 I totally agree. Chris Brown continues to exhibit thuggish behavior, and yet ABC

apologizes to him, and practically begs him to come back. Adam on the other hand is still apparently

blacklisted by ABC!

[yeahokay1500]

@hgozzo Chris Brown is not a thug, nor has he become violent right in front of my eyes. But when Adam Lambert chose to tongue a man down in front of millions of Americans who most believe homosexuality is a sin. I find that distasteful. I am glad the network did as well. You may not like it but hey who cares.

[23barbls]

Adam Lambert is still banned from ABC and Chris Brown gets asked back to GMA. This tells the world what hypocrites ABC is. I will not settle for anything less than ABC apologizing to Adam Lambert for trying to ruin his career over something so benign as his performance at the AMA's and their doing the right thing and not letting Chris Brown on DWTS until he shows he has learned that violence is not the answer to all his problems. CB is just a Punk and should be treated as one.

[yeahokay1500]

@23barbls WTF? ABC is not trying to control Adam, he is free to kiss as many sick men as he wants, just not on their network! So relax you can still buy his music and freely support his lifestyle. Go right ahead, and follow that bastard straight to hell. Because you and the people who are tolerant to this evil will not get into heaven. YOU LIVE YOUR LIFE ON EARTH FOR THE AFTERLIFE! REMEMBER I WARNED YOU

[2039marl]

@yeahokay1500 If there is an afterlife (lol) - it's nasty little narrow-minded people like you that should be afraid. My, you're an impressive example of love and tolerance. Dope.

[Moxy4ever]

Adam is the most gracious guest, every interviewer loves him, every performance on TV since the AMA's has been extremely "family friendly" yet ABC has not invited him back in 2 YEARS...how long will they continue to punish him and what will it take for them to start supporting this extremely nice, talented man who has managed to raise almost $1 million dollars for charity in his relatively short career????

[yeahokay1500]

@Moxy4ever He can come back but not with that gay shit. Check that reckless behavior at the door, and ABC will welcome him with open arms!

[jeannettesoul]

.thank you for your report...ABC's standards are offensive..if they believe that supporting a violent man lie Chris Brown while ignoring a sweet and talented man like Adam Lambert is keeping their viewing 'family-friendly'..maybe they should rethink their approach to 'family-friendly'....I personally, took no offense to a display of love and affection...Chris Brown offends me to no end..he should be banned for his behavior and held accountable..

[TheLambertCougar]

Thank you , Showbiz Tonight, for having the stones to address this issue on television. ABC needs to wake up.

[1937mc]

Thank you Showbiz Tonight for standing up for Adam and what is right. ABC should have Adam back or shame on them .DWTS=fail. ABC=fail.

[1937mc]

Thank you Showbiz Tonight for standing up for Adam and what is right. ABC should have Adam back or shame on them .DWTS=fail. ABC=fail.

[Glitterfran]

Awesome! I love this discussion. We need to bring this to light about how twisted ABC is in their thinking. Such a travesty if they support Chris Brown!

[TabithaLambert]

Adam is WAY better than Chris!!!!!! >.>

[robi2558]

If we want to talk about ratings the AMAs that year had the best ratings ever.The last AMAS ratings sank.Good job ABC!..non only you are homophobic but not business savvy.Adam + TV =winning

[LPdedicated]

Also if I remember correctly, ABC cancelled Adam's performance on GMA and replaced him with, you guessed it, Chris brown. Ok, let's replace the man kissing a man, with the man who beat up an innocent woman. It still makes me sick to this day. I mean what kind of signal is that to send out to people? They basically made homosexual behavior seem worse than meaningless violence. People can say anything they want, but there is a clear double standard!

[yeahokay1500]

@LPdedicated I dont condone violence, however homosexuality is an abomination. A direct fuck you to God. That's a no no. I'm sorry, but a man who dosent appreciate God made a woman for him, is just repulsive in every way. A man should never ever lust after another man as he would a woman. How disgusting is that? Way more then Chris Brown slapping the shit out of Rihanna.

[LPdedicated]

@yeahokay1500 Well good thing I don't believe in God then. I can't even begin to describe how much I resent this comment. It's beyond me how people who consider themselves a respectable human can even think like this. I respect religion, but NOT when it leads to hate, which it has proven many times that it does. If a man should appreciate the woman God gave to him, how do you think God reacts when he beats her up? Isn't that like punching God's gift in the face?

[LPdedicated]

And btw. If you were created as a gay man, would you still believe this? And no - it is not a choice. First of all: Why would people choose to be gay when they know how much hate there is out there towards homosexuals? Second: Some people are born with it some aren't. Accept it. It's a perfectly natural sexual condition. There is actual scientific evidence that one's orientation is determined already in the womb.

[LPdedicated]

Bisexuality, heterosexuality, homosexuality even asexuality are ALL determined by different parts of hypothalamus (consisting of various nuclei with functions like hunger, anger, sexual behavior etc.) It controls proceses in our autonomic nervous system - something we can't control. Just laying down the facts, but I guess even that is hopeless to some people out there who refuse to have an open mind and not judge people based on what an old book is telling them rather than their own common sense

[celtcwrtr]

whatever happened to investigative journalism?

the real issue was that the Liberty Council (i.e., Falwell's legal minions groomed in his own special law school, fronting the formal Moral Majority) used Lambert's AMA performance as a catalyst to change policy on the public airwaves and enforce their standards on the public-at-large. the Council filed an immediate legal brief w/ the FCC citing the AMA performance as obscenity.

"communication" degree vs. "journalism" = #fail

[IreneRose29]

I have not watched ABC since they banned Adam. I can't believe that they didn't do the same to Chris Brown, It boggles my mind that American is ok with violence of any kind real or imagined but to show a person who is actually gay kiss another man is oh so terrible that they are afraid he might do it again. Give me a F__king break. American wake up to what you condone.

[lmarts2]

Disney ABC and many people of the USA have a very messed up value system. Violence is ok but showing Love is not.

[KliceElite]

Good job MJ and good job Showbiz tonight.

[majaha61]

ABC banned Adam because they deemed him unpredictable. Well don't you think unpredictable violent outbursts would be more worthy of being banned than kissing? Nobody is going to get harmed from kissing, but when you don't know if someone is going to snap you would think you wouldn't want to take the risk of a lawsuit.

[JazzRocks]

ABC execs obviously think gay sex is worse than violence & physical abuse. Or they think their viewers think so. Oh ABC, your moral compass is all messed up.

[dolanrewaju3]

well... i think i just found my new best tv network.. ABC, much luv to ABC for still letting chris brown on the show. He is a black man, so whenever a person of colour can messup and not be cut off for it, that is worth celebrating, i mean such cases are too rare to let this one slide....

[2039marl]

@dolanrewaju3 The only color ABC cares about is green.

[dolanrewaju3]

@2039marl ofcourse i knw dat... bt w'll take wat we can get...

[dolanrewaju3]

@2039marl ofcourse i knw dat, but i guess we will take wat we can get

[2039marl]

@dolanrewaju3 Duplicate reply - neither admirable.

[dolanrewaju3]

@2039marl lool... nice one

[DeEtte13]

Wont be watching DWTS - GMA ever again. They can have the ratings of THUGS who think this is acceptable.

[netmeg99]

WTG Showbiz tonight ... Good job.!! and ABC SHAME ON YOU!!! I won't be watching Dancing With The Stars but I will be watching anything and everything Adam appears in. I'm sick of these double standards.

[IreneRose29]

@netmeg99

Tried to use thumbs up but it doesn't work on my computer. I agree with everything you just said, I won't be watching DWTS because since they banned Adam I don't watch ABC at all, stopped watching a bunch of shows that I really liked.  My not watching ABC may not put a dent in their ratings but its the principle that matters to me.

[Minihawk507]

@netmeg99 -WOW ABC SHOULD BE ASHAMED OF THEMSELVES..I WOULD RATHER MY KID SEE 2 MEN KISS THAN THINK ITS OK TO BEAT A WOMAN AND GET AWAY WITHIT

[netmeg99]

WTG Showbiz tonight ... Good job. ABC shame on you I won't be watching Dancing With The Stars but I will be watching anything and everything Adam appears in. I'm sick of these double standards.

[EleonoraRU]

Эх,Америка,а ещё других демократии учите!

[halag]

PS Also kudos to Showbiz Tonight for showing Adam kissing his band-mate over and over again hee hee!! Way to support the principle and not just talk about it! Love these guys!

[tattoojo91]

FFS GLEE had two guys kissing, how many parent's let their kids watch that and didn't complain.

[tattoojo91]

It's not just about smashing a bloody window, it's about smashing a WOMAN"S FACE IN.

[tattoojo91]

Brown is the lowest form of scum on this earth, ABC is in the same league for allowing him to return.

So in their eyes it's ok to be a female basher, but not ok for a man to kiss another man.

Well ABC F*** YOU.

[halag]

Big thumbs up to showbiz tonight! Both for condemning the behaviour of Chris Brown and for condemning the behaviour of the ABC network for their discriminatory attitude towards men kissing and their tolerance and encouragement of men being violent.

[Addicted2AdamLambert]

It's okay to be violent but not gay. This is so stupid and retarded !

[Animated2010]

Based on this , ABC is saying to kids - It does Not Get Better...... even they are bullies dressed in Corporate Suites, who protect other violent bullies.... Bullying is a form of violent abuse , either physical or the unconscionable use of power...

[sialig]

THAT IS BECAUSE ABC LIKES VIOLENCE AND TEMPER TANTRUMS , OBVIOUSLY THINKS THIS TYPE OF BEHAVIOR IS TOTALLY ACCEPTABLE.. BUT KISSING? OMG.... NO KISSING!!!!! this is so ridiculous !!!!
