Chris Brown vs. Adam Lambert - Who's The Bad Guy?
Posted on Thu Nov 26, 2009 10:45 AM PDT

ABC has booked Chris Brown for an interview and performance on Good Morning America after the network's much-publicized cancellation of Adam Lambert's appearance following his controversial performance on the American Music Awards.
So why is Rihanna's abusive ex-boyfriend more appealing to GMA than an openly gay singer who gave a somewhat risque performance on an awards show that probably asked him to do it?
ABC producers claim Lambert is "unpredictable" on live TV and it was too risky for them to have him in their studio -- meanwhile, a guy who beat up his boyfriend is a safer bet?!
Does this leave a bad taste in your mouth?
What do you think's going on over there at ABC -- are producers pandering to the straight bad guy while dissing the glammed up gay guy?

"a guy who beat up his boyfriend"
huh?
I know Rihanna can seem a bit masculine at times but come on... lol
They both suck only Adam literally does, but chris hits girls so he's worst.
Stuff them both back in the closet.
i dont even think you can compare the two, adam lambert was acting disgustingly sexual on tv, not saying what chris brown did was good, but i dont think they're talking about what you do personally, they're talking about what adam lambert did on tv infront of everyone.
What ABC and the Early show did was wrong, just wait Britney will mention it soon.
Chris Brown? Really? Could they possibly have chosen a worse replacement? ABC producers are a bunch of serious retards.
Don't y'all make mistakes???? Give Chris Brown a break he made a mistake and admitted to it and its time for EVERYONE TO MOVE ON!!!!! I STILL LOVE CHRIS BOY SO Y'ALL CAN HATE ON THAT!
great choice for GMA the next guest will be a pedophile singing how he raped his victims.
I'm very disgusted at many of the comments on here. ABC was definitely wrong for what they did to Adam Lambert, but that has nothing to do with Chris Brown. Adam Lambert is a young white kid who is openly gay and was unfairly provided with a double standard. Chris Brown is young black kid who did something terribly wrong, admitted to his guilt, is seeking help and can hopefully help other kids like him. He has also been unprecedently scrutinized in a way that white entertainers who have committed the came crime (johnny depp, josh brolin, mark wahlberg, etc.) have not been treated. They were actually allowed to move on with life and are doing quite well. So Yes they have both been treated with an unfair view from the media, but they are in totally different situations. Allow Chris Brown to move on with his life and lets hold him to his word of improving and helping others. Whether you like him or not their are many young men that can benefit from him telling his story. Haven't you used him as a scapegoat enough this year to vent your frustrations? Even his judge gave him praise for his growth a few weeks ago. So though the writer of this article is putting this out there to cause controversy and satisfy their witch hunt of Chris Brown, let's understand that these are two totally different situations and should be treated as such. We need to fight for gay rights!! But gay rights have nothing to do with Chris Brown!
Adam Lambert went too far. He can do what he wants at his concerts, his fans can pay for their tickets and know what to expect for a show. ABC live tv is not the place for him or any of the celebrities to put on a scandalous performance with the hopes of doing exactly what he did. He created the buzz, got his name out there and sold cd's like crazy. ABC was right to show him a consequence. Chris Brown is a troubled young man who we all hope gets the help he needs and maybe helps others along the way. It is not like he will be promoting abuse on the show.
Maybe ABC didn't cancel because it was too risque maybe they cancelled because his performance reaaaaalllyyy Sucked!
Wow, yes, actually, it does. I'm not sure who is writing for x17 now, but Its much better than this time last year when every other post was sucking Britney's ass. THANK YOU.
so basically Chris can beat a woman and he's a troubled young man who needs help but Adam went to far, ohhhhh he's the apocalypse, BS. At least Adam doesn't have nothing to feel sorry for. He didn't do anything against the law, he didn't beat any nobody, he didn't take his cloths off.
Are there no other celebrities to put on, do we really have just these two losers to choose from?
Adam's act demeaned women, too. Dragging a woman around by a stiletto while shrieking like a banshee is not exactly high art. I don't want to see either of them on television.
This is official, the US is f***ed. TV executives choosing a woman beater over a gay guy. Wow. Amazing.
"Boyfriend"?!?, this wannabe news site is so pathetic.
#ShameOnYouAbc for Booking Chris Brown after Canceling Adam Lambert, what they promot now !! i am so disgusted by GMA !! i swear this make me sick to my stomach !!!
hahahaha U SAID BOYFRIEND
Please..it should read "Who's the Bigger Dumb-Ass!"
Adam Lambert is disgusting...Don't try to blame that on anyone else. Where are the conservatives when u need them!?!
No, Idiot. Put the gay issue aside, from ABC's perspective, you probably won't see Chris Brown shoving someones face in his crotch on live TV. And I saw the West Coast version of Lamberts performance--they censored the shoving of the face into his crotch NOT the making out with the male keyboardist. This is a lame comparison. Lambert is not being cancelled for what he did off stage, he's cancelled for what he did on-stage on LIVE TV. He was dishonest and sneaky, and only showed part of his planned performance at the rehearsals. SUPER LAME...
ADAM maintained second place from the moment he started his career. Still, He can only lick the floor in the low place he ranks with star power of the entertainment field. Ok he's out there screwing everything up like a stupid amatuer A copycat of all original and not very well at that, tubby, flat-footed, off key, weary and huffing and he's a poser thinking he's sexy, athletic and hot.., untalented hack without all the bells and whistles of special backstage artists assisting performing live on anything. He just doesn't have that natural, appealing spark of charisma.
They both are bad and suck!! Neither should be on tv or any media outlet!! They both are DISGUSTING DOUCHEBAGS!!
SHAME on and BOYCOTTING ABC!! They should have NEITHER one on, but Chris "WOMAN BEATER" B.?! They will put on a GUILTY WOMAN BEATER-LEAVE HER FOR DEAD-FELONY ABUSER!! SHAMEFUL!!
To compare a singer simulating dragging a willing accomplice/dancer with a man beating his woman and leaving her bruised and damaged shows a sad lack of ethics and of taste. Get your priorities lined up! How sick!
Adam Lambert was performing. We have heard wonderful things about his sweet personality and his sincerity in real life. What's important the way you act in a performance or in real life? Get real - he is not an abuser - he is a performer. If you don't like the performance you can turn it off. In real life it's not so easy and it takes years to overcome the abuse, if ever. Bad choice ABC! Adam is a winner!
If you combine the two you get Donkey Punch while performing Anal!
I LOVE CHRIS BROWN, stop hating, they made the right choice. breezys back :)♥
I like sex more than violence. Feel it is okay to have Chris Brown on after they rectify the situation with Adam--but if Chris goes on and Adam doesn't that is completely sick.
Wow who writes for x17online? So double standard, who the hell needs to see a gay man stimulating gay sex on live tv, I mean what the hell, stupse weather you want to believe it or not the world and America is not ready for that. Chris get off his case will you we know that you hate him already, get over it let Chris Brown be great. Next
Adam's AMA performance is great - I have no issues with it!
ABC can book anyone they want - I don't care.
I'm just pissed that they cancelled Adam over a small matter. SIMULATED oral sex equals to a dance move, it does not equal to having done it. Only those with polluted minds will relate it to the latter.
There was nothing wrong with his performance at the AMA's.He is completely right when he talked about a double standard. Women peformers are constantly gyrating on stage. And lets not forget that it seems to be the "in" thing to have two girls kissing. Give me a break!Chris Brown, on the other hand, should not be afforded an opportunity to promote himself or album.What kind of message does that send? Beat women all you want and you can keep your millions and celebrity status.
TJ Disgusted, can you confirm the said help Chris Brown is receiving? like with pics, docs and all? What's that? No? Alright then.
I think everybody is entitled to be in doubt with a person who admitted to beating their girlfriend, as you would be if, for example, Rhianna was family instead of some pop star.
ABC get it together!
To those of you who much prefer to have females be abused than to have males share a kiss, I know know why the world is getting worse than ever. Way to go SICKO'S !
To those of you who much prefer to have females be abused than to have males share a kiss, I know now why the world is getting worse than ever. Way to go SICKO'S !
I soooo agree with Tj disgusted!!! Its about time for ppl 2 start the process of giving Chris b. a second chance... haven't YOU ever messed up? Alright then... and didn't janet jackson get HAMMERED for allowing Justin T 2 pull her top, although she hd something covering up her nip??? Of course Adams action deserve some action!! Dummies.... sure chris was/is wrong 4 wht he did... he was/is also young immature aand has hofully learned and grown 4rm wht he did.. but we allllllll knw how white ppl do.. does anyone find it strange that roman poliski is out on bail?? Wtf
I'm open to giving Chris Brown a second chance - but i see no change. It seems like he forgave himself very quick and moved right along.
I'm not gonna hate on him but i am surely not going to support him. He now seizes to exist...The day i feel like i see a change is the day i'll give him a second chance.
I would not give him/ or anyone else a second chance JUST based on the passing of time.
Knock it all off! Move on. Move on. Move on. Move on. Move on. Move on. Move on. Move on. Move on. Move on.
its not all his fault she should of shut uhp and she already knew he was to much man for her.
Alexis, how would you like it if her beat the shit out of you? Grow up and think about what you say.
