The plot thickens
MJ says she has a source at 19 who has confirmed the cancellation.
Adam Lambert 11/25 Good Morning America Appearance CANCELLED
Published on 11/24/2009 in American Idol. 2 CommentsI’ll update this post with new information as we get it.
It’s true.
I have a source who confirmed it with 19M.
Apparently Seacrest just confirmed the cancellation as well.
This was left on comments (if you’re already in NY, might as well swing by!):
RELIABLE SOURCE – ADAM ON EARLY SHOW TOMORROW – CBS STUDIOS – PLEASE SHOW UP AND SHOW YOUR LOVE.
ETA: Poor Tommy! LOL

Ok I’m REALLY sorry for the mix up!!! I JUST found out that we are not playing GMA. We ARE playing The Early Show! 5 minutes ago from UberTwitter

















My guess – venue change. First come, first serve seating – not such a good idea.
a quote from the other site:
“LOL GMA, you don’t know what you’ve started. 2012 has come.”
RELIABLE SOURCE – ADAM ON EARLY SHOW TOMORROW – CBS STUDIOS – PLEASE SHOW UP AND SHOW YOUR LOVE.
Tommy just twittered they’re on the Early Show!
I just wrote an angry letter to GMA website- I’m seriouslly pissed. ADAM STORM. Their assholes.

ABC = morons. CBS snapped him up. I hope GMA gets killed in the ratings.

It will be interesting to hear what Adam has to say about all this!
Realizing details are being planned as this is happening….hoping those with travel plans don’t get shafted. That a venue will be found large enough to accommodate the fans that do show up.
DOES THIS MEAN HIS APPEARANCE ON DICK CALRK’S ROCKING NYE THING IS LIKELY TO BE CANCELLED TOO?
#ABC SUCKS GLITTER BALLS
The obvious winner here is the Early Show.
I like Lyndsey’s #ShameOnYouABC twitter hashtag.
I just complained to GMA, too. I guess ABC wanted to publicly slap his hand. Good luck with that, ABC. CBS wisely grabbed him. It’ll be great since he’s on Letterman tomorrow night. He’ll be awesome and sweet and ABC will look as stupid as they are, LOL.
ABC HAS NO IDEA WHAT THEY JUST DID
LOLZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ
I just sent a complain to GMA as well. Everyone should! Its total crap and I am very angry. Hopefully Adam will let it roll right off – he has such a positive attitude.
@JC – I KNOW. I almost feel sorry for them. Almost.
The shitstorm shall rain down upon them in 3… 2… 1….
Perez just posted about it:

I just…I barely have words right now. What the FUCK is going on! THIS IS A DISASTER FOR THEM, I WANT AN EXPLANATION FROM THEM ABOUT THIS!!! SERIOUSLY, HOW DID THEY NOT KNOW WHAT KIND OF SHITSTORM THIS WOULD CREATE, I REALLY REALLY WANT TO KNOW WHAT THEY ARE THINKING
But did ABC give an official statement yet. I just want to reserve judgment until I know the actual reason for the cancellation before going all “glambert” about it.
Here is the feedback form for CBS:

@cestlavie But what reason could there possibly be other than to publicly slap his hand for the AMA performance? I mean, if they were worried about crowd control, they could have moved him in-studio or something. No. They’re scared. But I’m not “going glambert” about it. I just think that they’re lame and unfortunately for them a lot of other people are gonna go glambert. Yikes.
IA, C’est
Someone from needs to get that statement out ASAP, the damage is done, they should have has this covered, they should have known. This is gonna get ugly!

An ABC News spokesperson tells TVNewser, “given his controversial live performance on the AMAs we were concerned about airing a similar concert so early in the morning.”
that should have read “someone from the network” etc.
The same spokesperson is quoted in the NYT article Candy posted: http://artsbeat.blogs.nytimes.com/2009/11/24/adam-lambert-concert-planned-for-good-morning-america-is-canceled/
mj also said in comments that her source confirmed with Roger of the cancellation.
RIDICULOUS
Well, anyone find an official anything from CBS of the Early Show? They would be crazy not to pick HH up for the Early Show!
Hooray for CBS for Letterman and Early Show tomorrow!
@Cinn Of course it’s ridiculous. But Adam’s gonna be fine. He got snapped right up by CBS (they’re smart) and this will only make people rally behind him. (And the people who agree with ABC were never gonna be fans anyway.) (Also: hi!)
@Heart Tommy tweeted that they’d be on the Early Show. But then, he didn’t know that GMA had canceled either, so….
Adam!Storm was calling it mildly! This is a typhoon!
And this is just the beginning…
GMA fails at life.
Claire: I was just wondering if CBS or 19E sent out anything yet about the Early Show? Mainly, so those people coming from out of town know where to go??? And we can video the right channel!
This is so crazy!
poor Tommy…he didn’t get the memo about GMA. he just knew he was performing and didn’t care where, probably.
I KIND OF WANT HIS TO DO FYE with the same choreography from the AMA’s on CBS just to say F-U!!
@Heart – you’re so right! They need to confirm so people know where to go! I’m sure they’re doing some serious scrambling right now trying to set it all up.
Okay, if that is the official reason, I will send a respectful e-mail concerning the cancellation.
I’m still reeling. ABC can’t possibly actually believe he would do the same performance on GMA that he did at the AMAs. They just can’t be that stupid, but the press release implies that. Ya think they would ask what he’s singing, DUH FREAKIN DUH. Gah they blew it.
