Twitter'The View' psychic moment on 'American Idol' Adam Lambert's same-sex kiss
When it comes to "American Idol" Adam Lambert's same-sex kiss at the American Music Awards, the hosts of "The View" are frighteningly prescient.
The women of "The View" wondered why the more scandalous parts of Lambert's act were censored while video of a kiss between Madonna and Britney Spears at the 2003 Video Music Awards has been widely circulated on network television.
No, they weren't talking about CBS' blurring of the kiss on "The Early Show" during a segment on Lambert. In that case, CBS defended showing an unblurred clip of Madonna kissing Britney Spears by saying that video had been "widely disseminated."
(As opposed to, we suppose, the millions of people talking about Lambert's performance.)
No, they meant the ABC West Coast feed of the American Music Awards, during which parts of Lambert's performance were censored. Viewers elsewhere in the country saw a live feed of the ceremony, and an uncut version of the performance.
The supposedly shocking show generated a meager 1,500 complaints, according to ABC. Still, a scheduled Lambert appearance was bounced from that network's "Good Morning America."

Anyone who watches the VIEW.....disgusting. If they rag on someone, it only makes you like them more. This group of ladies is a disgrace to all women....and, excuse me but I use the term "lady" VERY loosely!!!!! If they are hard up for material of interest, how about the end the show!!!!
like whoopy and walter- the blacj girl sherry? and hazzelbech dont like her at all;she sounds like shes a virgin in fact she like sex she has lots of children. duh
this has nothing to do with the view and the women on the view. people please. the issue is same sex kiss. you want to discuss the women on the view send them an email.

Funny, but I really get Adam Lambert and I am an all-American mom like Elizabeth but I have NEVER gotten Elizabeth!
She is such a prude and so full of herself. I do not know why B.Walters hired this women because they all try to shout her down when she opens her very narrow-minded mouth.
Adam rocks! Elizabeth has nothing to offer the world, seriously, unless it's to be president of the George Bush fan club. Ugh.
Iam 65 years old and I am a fan of Adam Lambert. He rocks and he will have a very bright future, I look at his video and really he delivers.
Adam if you read these can you send me your first album.
Your fan.

Adam Lambert shouldn't apologize to anyone. He did his performance with honesty and really did his best. He went out on stage to have fun, do his thing, surprise us with his new song and I believe the kid when he said he had no idea it would get that kind of reaction. I mean this kid has proven himself on Idol as a very gifted singer. His album is so diverse and strong and powerful and ORIGINAL! Yes, it is not the same track after track of everything else out there. The view is a very narrow view and yeah, who is Hasselbeck? How did she even get hired? She has no journalistic objectivity. Adam offers the other slice of the pie and yes some of us want it! I found his performance to be the highlight of the night! I loved all of it and wanted more. I'm so tired of all the loose women who wear barely there outfits and show off their sexuality. Where is my man candy? I am so happy Adam Lambert is out there doing his thing. I love his dancing! I LOVE HIS CLOTHES AND OUTFITS! I go nuts over his singing. Give me more Adam Lambert please and less of the narrow minded view.
