I wonder if ABC and DWTS are aware of this outrage? they must be with everyone twittering today, I would think. What comes around goes around, I'm glad this is being brought up 2 years later and I hope ABC loses ratings, that's when they will sit up and listen. Only way!

Anonymous said...

that's right!!!! I hope all the fans will punish ABC for their reckless behavior indeed. They should be the one to suffer for tolerating the violence and even asking Chris Brown again to come back. Ratings, Ratings and money that's all the ABC concern about. Wow ABC really is really going down for sure ha!ha!ha!ha!. Adam will not go back to that ignorant and family friendly show?????? That's right family friendly show hahahahahah
You make me laugh ABC goodness gracious I need to go the bathroom right now!!!!!!!!

Love u Adam my dear you are in a stable place right now and safe. We will protect you as always....

Just posted a comment on the NY Post thread but will re-post here, since it was directed at this CNN Showbiz tonight segment..:

I like the fact that CNN's Showbiz Tonight had some intelligent thoughts about the two separate stories. Really, the bigger question here is why would ABC/GMA give Chris Brown a chance to explain himself by inviting him back on their show, and treat Adam they way they did, by canceling his scheduled appearances, and not so much as giving him the time of day since then. I also very much appreciate the fact that the male commentator said he didn't understand why they treated Adam so badly. Obviously "water under the bridge" but perhaps FINALLY some progress is being made in favor of Adam. Positive spin on the AMA thing for him for a change. And the connection of the two stories is that ABC invited Chris Brown to replace Adam on GMA after they cancelled him. I did hear that the interviewer was pretty hard on Chris Brown on-air re Rhianna, and that's what set him off..but still, what a childish and dangerous way he responded to all of that. Adam was no doubt hurt and upset by the cancellations, but he didn't act like a jackass about it..One of the major differences between the very classy and mature Mr. Adam Lambert and the very immature and occasionally violent Mr. Chris Brown. Sad, really. I do hope CB gets some help for his anger problems. No one is perfect obviously (not even Adam...but almost..) , but I'm just glad Adam is getting some support here in this story, re ABC's over-reaction to his AMA performance. Its about time, IMHO.

Oh, those were the kissing pictures I saw on the tabloids. I thought wow, Adam looks gorgeous. :)

Anonymous said...

What's with the pictures of Adam and Chris? Chis was all dressed up, very conservatively and Adam looked like the "wild child." They had to search to find either picture.

glitzylady said...

Would you believe ABC is rumored to have invited Chris Brown back AGAIN and this time to reunite with Rihanna...I really think they are sinking to new lows if this is true..I just saw this on AOL Popeater, so who knows if its actually true, but here's the story...In my opinion ABC/GMA have lost all credibility if this were to take place...Guess we'll see..Also something about a reality show for Chris Brown...not a whole lot of negative effects for him I'd say. All for the sake of ratings I guess.

It takes violence for people to realize the truth... the double standard was only brought up TODAY?! Are you kidding me?! The double standard HAS ALWAYS been there, but it took violence for people to realized the truth. That is SAD!

C Brown's publicist has quit over the entire incident. Smart move, I say. I think Rhianna has matured so much in the past two years that she wouldn't want to be in the same room with her former beater. So glad she wised up before he beat her to death.

Anonymous said...

I wish Adam's name could have stayed out of this.ABC banned him from several shows but he was on THE VIEW, OPRAH with a rerun, BW'S 10 MOST FASCINATING PEOPLE, and NIGHTLINE.

Fan4fun said...

About the pictures showed in this video, sweet Adam looks nothing less than gorgeously wonderful to all open minded people. Now, why not to show THAT awful picture of Chris Brown, THAT angry ONE which scared the shit out of me??? Not only me, the fucking CB picture sent Icon to his «panic room» for an entire hour!

I watched in horror and fear as my stepfather beat my mother for years. Finally as a high school senior and a bit taller than the monster, when he went after her once more, I stepped in and beat the snot out of him. He never touched my mother again in anger. I am not proud that I became as violent with him as he had been with my mother, but I just couldn't watch it one more time. I also told him that I would come after him at any time, not just in anger and he wouldn't ever know when it was about to happen. Being the coward he is and fearful of another broken nose and cheekbone, all is quiet now in the home I grew up in.

ABC could rectify the mess it has created by inviting Adam to appear the following week on Dancing With the Stars!

The Dark Side said...

I have boycotted GMA since they boycotted Adam, and guess I will never watch this show again. I hope if they ask Adam to go on, he tell them no. Also happy that Adam is staying out of the fray and keeping quiet about the entire thing. This is the right thing to do Adam.

This is not just Chris Brown's manic behavior, it's the whole country!!!People are paying money right now to fill auditoriums (in my town too) to listen to Charlie Sheen's demented raving. Sure ABC will have him back on...it means MONEY. I hope but doubt that DWTS will have enough "class" to cancel his appearance.

In our country today MIGHT MAKES RIGHT!..The RICH GET RICHER and don't give a damn about the middle class sinking down to join the POOR. We are becoming a 2 class society and furthermore my friends if I am elected.....oh forget it....I'm sorry Adam's name got dragged into this. If we all agreed to not watch DWTS would it even make a dip of disapproval in their rating? No problem for me I never watch it.

I've vented and now will go eat a cookie or 6 or 7 and calm down........PEACE....JAK

Wow I hope this helps AL, not hurt him more by bringing up something he has worked so hard to overcome.
I read that Chris's temper tantrum actually helped to boost his album sales. I think it should have had the opposite effect but that apparently is the world we live in. To be honest, that kind of anger frightens me, how about you.

No worries just ask Adam and the door is always open for you.

Oh, CNN has a lot of influence. I just sent a comment to CNN, and it was so satisfying to finally write what I've been stewing over since Adam's AMA performance. I've written ABC numerous times, and they totally ignore. They send back a form letter telling the writer they can't possibly read everything because of the volume they get. Right!! To 12:37--loved it. You nailed the issues. We are a bunch of sick fu*kers, aren't we.

It seems we have become a society that accepts crude and unacceptable even violent behavior. Then the celebs involved get more publicity and even rewarded for it. Just look at Charlie Sheen with his rants and raves. And I am tired of hearing about Lindsay Lohan and her sad family every other week. The Kardashians and Paris Hilton also are others who live in their own world and get paid for being obnoxious, worthless individuals. Then I read that Chris Brown is invited to come back on GMA and I am furious. Also, just read that ABC wants to do a sit down with him and Rihanna. I wouldn't watch that if they paid me. As for Adam Lambert, I don't even know if he would appear on GMA if they asked now. He doesn't need that show since he has a very devoted fan base. As for DWTS, this is not his kind of show
and he is busy writing songs for his new cd. I don't even think I want him on GMA now with all this Chris Brown stuff. He is much too mature and classy and never behaved in an unacceptable way after ABC canceled him on GMA. The demographic viewing audience for DWTS probably doesn't know or care about Chris Brown and his music; they probably only know him from the Rihanna incident. Everyone knows the names of these useless, loose cannons, but no one knows the names of the young men who give their lives each day in the wars in Iraq or Afghanistan since they are not published or make the headlines. Let's get our priorities straight and look at what is important in society today.

OH please. He trashed a dressing room off camera. He wouldn't be the first to do that. You might want to read up on what Led Zepp and Rod Stewart did to hotel rooms in their day. You might want to read up on Eminem, and Rihanna chose to duet with him.

So what's your point 2:27? Are you saying because others did wrong things, it's just flat OK? It's OK to endanger lives by crashing a chair at the window of a highrise? I guess so. The hell with everything. Let me get my tire iron out! Oh, BTW, Eminem is not my hero type either.

anon 11:52am, you forgot to mention DWTS's also played Adam's music two years in a row. If ABC would have pressed charges he might have been looking at some jail time now.He needs mental help more than jail time, I think.

glitzylady said...

@Anon 2:27 PM
So does that make it okay??? Not in my book. And the examples of Led Zep etc.: That's like saying "Well, so and so just jumped off the roof, so it must be okay.." But then, its your opinion. It made the news, people all over the world are commenting on it...The whole point of the matter is: Chris Brown can apparently get away with this stuff because he is famous, rich, and a good ratings draw; most people would be in jail after doing something like that, especially considering the fact that he is already on probation for beating up Rihanna. He's just very lucky ABC chose not to press charges..He is a disturbed young man with anger issues, and I sincerely hope he gets some help before something worse happens. Just my opinion, by the way...And I'm sticking with my comment at 11:01 AM..

Isn´t being violent an image that goes with rappers in general? That´s why I hate it. Even if the lyrics of a "song" don´t include violent or rude words, the tone is offensive. They sound angry and it makes me irritated and most of all bored. CB probably thinks he made a smart move, smashing that window. How cool is that? He gained new fans and his record is #1. Sometimes I think I don´t want to live in this world. Is there a place on the space ship to Planet Fierce?

I just learned that there are a few so called openly racist countries in Europe. It's a political term by experts. I will not say what those countries are, because I don't want to upset anybody, but I can tell that Sweden and Finland are not among them. You would be surprised, because in some issues they are quite tolerant.

Here we go again. One thing good came out of this whole mess....someone finally stuck up for Adam in the media. Thankyou very much. Again I hope this will get people to think of how conveluted some peoples thinking is. It is about ratings, about money! That doesn't mean we have to cave in and drink the koolaid with these people. With Adam and people who LOVE not Hate we will over come this. We are really in the majority;sometime it just doesn't feel that way. We just need to continue to spred the love,follow and support Adam and conduct ourselves in a loving and giving way. Who cares about ABC let them self-destruct if that is the path they choose. Those who have quite watching that network good for you;doesn't it feel good to stick to your convictions? Doesn't it feel good to follow and support someone that is worthy of your support. Don't give up.We will win this fight with are heads held high with grace.

I want to change the subject. I just got GNL, finally! I started to watch as soon as I open the box. I even didn't pay attention that my Mom is in the room and watching the concert. When she said "OMG, Adam is genius!" I was scared because I didn't know that she is at home.
When we watched "Sure Fire Winners", she said I think Adam's pants is to tie!"
After all she said that she knew only one man who was such a genius, has 4 octaves voice, who could magnatise the crowd of 100,000 people and keep them under control(this is awalys seems dangerous, not just for Music Industry!).Also, she said that this man was so attractive he could make woman pregnant if she just stays in same room with him, because he had such lips to die and such a big "HOSE" to kill for!!!! I coudn't believe that she could say it! She never saw "Playboy" in her life!
After all, I forgot any complications about AMA, GMA, whaterver they are!

My mom mentioned Freddie. She saw Queen's concert at Wembly. If you will watch this concert, you will understand what she meant:)
By the way. It was show about Freddie on Logo(gay's) channel today. And my husband said " Did they said that Adam Lambert is 21st century's Freddie?" I said "No, but both of them have 4 octaves voice and something else to die for!" My husband is very naive person and he didn't ask what is "Something else to die for ":)

I watched that CNN report on Chris Brown v Adam Lambert with my older sister who is not a fan of either. I almost died laughing when, upon seeing the KISS, she said to me, "What that Adam kissed somebody in public????!". I hasten to add, however, that my sister agrees with me and everyone else here that ABC was in the wrong choosing violence over that KISS.

Dear Fred - LBS 6:57 PM took the words right out of my mouth, and said it better than I could have.

I am so sorry for the violence you had to witness against your mom. For a child to see something so ugly and senseless scars them for life...they either think it's "OK" because it's what they live with and don't know any better (poor sweet little things) or the recognize it as the abomonation it is, but are usually helpless to rise up against it, by themselves, and often grow up with supressed anger which can explode later in life in the most ugly of circumstances. I hope you have found some peace in your life.

I know I should say this (it's so NOT p.c.) but I am glad you beat the crap out of your stepdad. Not only did he deserve it, but it's probably the only kind of "lesson" he'd understand. Forgive me.

Again - I am so, so sorry for the situation you had to grow up in.

Welcome to the jungle. Oh my god, I just laughed so hard when I heard a finnish parody of that G N'R classic. Welcome to the forest. Anyway, have you ever heard of a term called tittytainment? I don't mean all reality tv sucks. Some are better than others. DWTS format is in many countries. The contestants must get paid well. Why else would the celebs be so eager to participate. And some don't want to quit dancing even if their close family member dies. That's why I stopped watching the show a few years ago. I think it was bizarre.

OT...@ Fred, Thanks for sharing your experience. I know first hand how dangerous and frightening living in that environment can be. My first husband and father of my children turned out to be a violent disturbed man. We escaped and I remarried a wonderful man that was loving, kind and my children loved him dearly. I hope you and your mother have found peace and will no longer see any more abuse. I'm so sorry that you had to live thru' that difficult time. My kids have been after me for years to write a book, as even now it seems as tho' it happened to someone else and wasn't real. I discovered strength and determination I didn't know I possessed. I had never heard my own parents ever raise their voice to one another and I didn't want my children exposed to such unacceptable behavior. I equate it to being a prisoner of war. It can be very complicated and dangerous.I'm glad that you were able to stand up to him and protect your mother. funbunn40
