Adam Lambert Speaks Out About His GMA Cancellation

After a controversial start this week, Adam Lambert spoke to Ryan Seacrest about the AMAs, the resulting GMA cancellation and much much more.

On ABC's decision to cancel his Good Morning America performance:

"Obviously I respect their decision, they gotta do what they gotta do. It's too bad, I think there were a lot of fans who were excited to come see me. 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."

On the double standard between men and women in showbiz:

"I do think there's a slight double standard. We've seen female pop performers doing extremely sexual routines for years and all of the sudden a guy does it and it's crazy."

On his racy AMA performance:

"It's choreography, we were dancing. The sexuality of it kind of got a little more extreme when I got up on stage. I think the adrenaline kind of took me over, and I admit it, and I'm proud of the fact that I did get a little carried away. I don't feel I owe anyone an apology for anything. I performed, it was late night TV, I did something that female performers have been doing for years, no different. It's just the fact that I'm me and it's a little different for people. It's really not that big of a deal. I'm not a babysitter, I'm a performer."

You know what? We totally agree with everything he had to say, and it seems to us like all the haters out there (yes you, Elisabeth Hasselbeck!) are just jealous that he looks this gorge with eyeliner!
