Some of the comments about the interview and performance:
The meta-joke of the whole Adam Lambert “scandal” is that Lambert is enough of a professional to know why he’s the object of attention (however surprised he acts). And also that anyone who books him knows that he’s enough of a professional not to go sex-mad on a morning talk show (as opposed to 11 o’clock at night in a concert), however much they treat him like Ed Sullivan did Elvis.
But if there is a bit of theater to this whole thing, from beginning to end, Lambert has one fact on his side, which is that there is an actual issue here—about how gays are treated in mainstream culture—and he is generally on the right side of it. Raunchy and knowingly provocative as his AMA gig was, there was a double standard, period, and the fact that he may have intended to trigger that double standard makes it no less worth criticizing.
To his credit, though, Lambert made his points with a smile, not getting too sanctimonious over what is a silly blow-up about a pop performance. The View hosts seemed to recognize the silliness of it—and ABC’s reaction, which included bumping Lambert from Good Morning America—noting that his AMA blow-up led ABC to force them to interview Lambert on tape. Presumably with guards standing off camera with tranq-dart rifles, lest he go gay-crazy. “Protect your children, people!” he joked.
Later in the interview, Joy Behar (who took his side on the double-standard charge) quipped about his public image, “You’re not exactly a nice Jewish boy, let’s face it, Adam.” His answer: “Well, I’m a little different. My dreidel spins the other way.”

The Washington Post

It’s time for Pre-Taped Lambert:
” Adam, after you did the American Music Awards, ABC canceled three of your live appearances and that is why we are taping this today,” Pre-taped Babs emotes in the general direction of Lambert at the top of his interview.
To recap, we’re now up to two View-ettes who have insisted ABC told them to tape his “The View” appearance.
“Protect your children, people,” Pre-taped Lambert snarks.
“Does it bother you that people are now afraid to have you go live?” Babs wonders.
By “people” she means “ABC.” CBS’s “The Early Show” pounced on Lambert after ABC’s “Good Morning America” gave him the old brusharoo and he performed live on the CBS morning infotainment show, though the CBS show pixilated some of the footage it ran of Lambert from his AMA gig.
Lambert insists it was a one-off – not his regular schtick.
Hasselbeck, who usually gets all “Aaackkkk! My eyyyyyyeeeessssss!” in these situations, instead says “I think there is a little characterization going on about you, based off of the performance.”
“A mis-characterization,” Lambert corrects, helpfully.
“You’re not exactly a nice Jewish Boy, let’s face it, Adam,” weighs in Behar. Golly – didn’t see that coming.
“I’m a little different – the dreidel spins the other way,” Lambert agrees, sweetly.

NyDailyNews

Adam Lambert proved on “The View” this morning that he can sing better than he sang on the American Music Awards.
But as for any new insights from the Glam Kid about that controversial AMA performance, it wasn’t happening.
On this rather modest – some would say immodest – matter, Lambert is already well into reruns.
He was “in the moment of my performance,” he said, when he ad-libbed stuff like simulating oral sex with one of his dancers.
The song, “For Your Entertainment,” is a sexy dance song, he said, as he has said before, and he just got carried away and maybe didn’t perform the song exactly like he did in rehearsal.
ABC hasn’t been all that happy with Lambert in general, but the network likes to hear that part, since it affirms the network didn’t approve all the moves that made many viewers gulp.

The New York Times
In an interview with “The View” hosts Barbara Walters, Joy Behar, Sheri Shepherd and Elisabeth Hasselbeck that was taped on Tuesday, Mr. Lambert was asked about his American Awards Show set, which was broadcast live on ABC on Nov. 22. Amid a flurry of complaints that the network received after the show, Mr. Lambert was uninvited from other ABC programs, including “Good Morning America” and “Jimmy Kimmel Live.”
Mr. Lambert said he was not hurt to have lost these bookings. “Hurt’s not the right word,” he said. “I’m surprised. I’m like: ‘Really? Is it really that big of a deal?’”
(There’s still the chance that ABC might have to host Mr. Lambert on its Academy Awards broadcast in February — assuming his song from the “2012″ soundtrack gets an Oscar nod — which Ms. Walters acknowledged at the start of the show.)

Associated Content

On The View, Adam Lambert was very articulate and well-spoken and respectful to both sides, but also pointed out that one performance should not characterize his entire career and that it was the responsibility of parents, not the network, to decide what was appropriate for children to watch.
The ladies of The View discussed both sides to the American Music Awards debate. Joy Behar pointed out a commenting that soap operas were also filled with sex, suggesting that there was a double standard in the way audiences perceive straight vs. gay sexual acts. But Sherri Shepherd argued that her objections were not due to the fact that he was gay, and that she had also objected to Britney and Madonna as well as Janet Jackson’s wardrobe malfunction.

Below is the coverage of the videos, photos etc. that I’ve managed to collect.

Best Week Ever

Adam Lambert. Ah, what delicious brain sorbet this is following the course that is Beck. Lambert’s segment opens with his performance at the AMAs, because that is how we have to define him for the immediate time being. A 4 minute performance where he kissed a dude. OMG and these baby photos of heeeyummmm? (voice getting really high) As a little cowboy (voice super high now) and at Sea World? Gurrwl, did Tyler Perry produce this segment? Because it is Preciiiooouuus. Barbara says Adam topped himself with every Idol performance, and hot gay imagery aside, the footage reminds us (dramatic turn) that this is the truest statement ever spoken. He handles her sexuality questions in his signature blunt, matter of fact way (”Yes, I am a homosexual. Deal with it.”) that dare we say turned that ol’ dusty broad on a little bit? Oh, we dare. The segment was short and sweet and didn’t tell us anything we didn’t already know. Barbara’s last words: “What a voice!” Hopefully not her actual last living words, because that would be haunting.
