The performance wasnt the problem, it was the horrible singing.

You have a remote. Change the channel. It wasn't my thing, so I watched something else. But too shocking... not really.

I've seen far worse on daytime soap operas than Lambert's performance. And why would children be up at 11pm at night to watch him?

Do we remember when Madonna, Christina Agulara and Brittany Spears shared a kiss on national TV? Did we freak out collectively? Grow Up!

Adam, or Miley on a stripper pole? Hmmmm, tough choice. She's underaged and got less complaints. Go figure America.

I turned it off halfway into performance. Not appropriate for my 18 yr. old son.

Wow! The PTC says he chose to treat American families to oral sex and other demeaning behavior? Hmm...when did oral sex become demeaning?

Ironically, omment are supposed to be short and classy. While worse stuff can be seen on TV, Lambert lacks class

Madonna and Britney did the same thing. The only reason anyone is "offended" is because of Adam's sexuality.

I've never liked ANY of the crotch-grabbing, but it's allowed for everyone else. And why is this different than Madonna kissing girls?

    Be shocked, be amused, be entertained. However, don't be reactionary or prudish when you watch rock and roll.

    I think Adam is right there is a double standard. Its ok for Madonna and Britiny to make out but its not ok for him? I mean...really?

    Good Morning America should be ashamed of themselves.

    The kissing of the men didn't bother me. But I really don't consider a face in the crotch as art, or the least bit entertaining.

    The worst part about it was that it was not well done. The singing was off key. The "dancing" was weak. The whole thing seemed disingenuous

    I like Adam Lambert, but I thought the performance was shocking just to shock. Did Frank Sinatra, ever do this? It was juvenile.

    Absolutely deplorable! ABC knew what was coming and AMA is completely devoid of any class or responsibility to allow this vulgarity.

    Adam, it is not about your sexuality. It was always about your music. And now it's about your bloated ego. Not a good way to start out!

    People with TALENT do not need to shove someone's face into their crotch or get groped at every turn!
