THANK YOU! ADAM LAMBERT'S GOOD MORNING AMERICA APPEARANCE GET'S CANCELLED!

Two days after Adam Lambert thrust a guy's head into his crotch during a screechy show-closing performance on ABC's "American Music Awards," people are still talking.

More than 1,500 complaints were leveled at ABC, according to The Associated Press. ABC officials deemed that a "moderate" response when compared to other events that have stirred viewers' ire.

Though it's doubtful that anyone at the network thought the controversy would go on this long, Lambert's show-stopping number – which also included a kiss with a male musician - was still fodder for morning TV debates over the artistic merits, or lack thereof, of what happened during Sunday night's performance.

"When you're on television, that's public and you have children watching. I think you can tone it down," Dr. Steve Salvatore , a WPIX/Ch. 11 anchor, medical expert and parent of two teenage daughters said on Tuesday's "PIX Morning News."

"I think he went one step too far," said Ch. 11 anchor Sukanya Krishnan.

The "PIX Morning News" crew debated the topic Tuesday, and even showed the clip in question — twice.

ABC continuously touted Lambert's performance during Sunday's show as something "everyone will be talking about."

It was. But the scene where the dancer stuck his head in Lambert's groin to simulate a sex act was cut out before the show aired on the West Coast.

The Parents Television Council, a watchdog group with an ability to find fault everywhere, lashed out at the performance and urged viewers to complain to ABC, Dick Clark Productions and the FCC.

PTC President Tim Winter in a statement called the show "tasteless and vulgar."

"Adam Lambert, the second-place finisher in last season's 'American Idol' competition, chose to treat American families to simulated oral sex and other demeaning behavior," Winter said. "ABC and Dick Clark Productions had every reason to know what to expect, as Lambert himself proclaimed that his performance would be 'very sexy' and would include leather and chains. But the producers and the network chose to bury their heads in the sand."

The Ch. 11 crew Tuesday noted the issues with the performance didn't seem to be about the kiss, but rather the simulated sex, and had nothing to do with Lambert being openly gay.

Lambert told CNN immediately after the performance that the kiss was spontaneous, and that if people were upset with his onstage antics, "That's a form of discrimination and it's too bad."

Not surprisingly, the debate is likely to continue.

"The bottom line is these guys are performers and they want to go out there and do something you're going to talk about," said WNYW/Ch. 5 anchor Rosanna Scotto said on "Good Day New York" Tuesday morning. "They want you to remember them, because there's so much competition out there."
