Adam Lambert to appear, sing on ABC’s ‘The View’

NEW YORK — ABC says glam-rocker Adam Lambert will appear and perform on its daytime talk show “The View” on Thursday.

The announcement comes almost two weeks after Lambert’s racy performance on ABC’s broadcast of “The American Music Awards.” That led to Lambert getting axed from an appearance on the network’s “Good Morning America.”

Since then, Lambert, who is openly gay, complained of being dropped from two other upcoming ABC shows.

In the meantime, he has been scheduled for NBC’s “The Jay Leno Show” on Dec. 21.

And his taped appearance on “The View” will air a day after he is honored by “View” co-panelist Barbara Walters on her “10 Most Fascinating People of 2009″ special. That also airs on ABC.

I wouldn’t watch him on any show. He is such a diva. He says he wants it about the music but then makes a rauncy display at the AMA’s. He’s tryin way to hard to be the next. Lady Gaga

ABC swallowed back it’s words? It’s a joke right? He can sing on the “View” or anywhere else who cares, as long as he is not going to act as if the stage is a bedroom!!!!!

Dear Mr. Moore,
You are mistaken in one detail in your article: Adam Lambert did not complain to ABC about being dropped - his fans did. In fact, Mr. Lambert Twittered that people should NOT be mad at ABC. Now, whether behind the scenes Mr. Lambert’s handlers were crying foul to ABC, we don’t know; but if you doubt the fans’ involvement in this, just check out “adam lambert official” and read some of the fans’ comments. They even launched a campaign to buy copies of the “For Your Entertainment” cd and mail them to ABC headquarters. No one has written about that, by the way, if you are interested in writing about AL with a fresh angle.
