Disney Reviewing Live Shows After Adam Lambert
Adam Lambert is a trail-blazer after all. He just forced Disney to review their live shows after last week's AMA performance which involved:
1. Simulated oral sex on-stage with backup dancers
2. Kissing a man
3. Giving the middle finger to the audience
From Reuters:
Disney/ABC Television Group President Anne Sweeney told Reuters that in reaction to the Lambert performance, Disney was reviewing the steps it takes to vet live performances by getting assurances from artists that their stage shows will resemble their rehearsals, and using contractual obligations to hold them to that.
She added that it was the right decision for ABC to cancel Lambert's scheduled performance on "Good Morning America," noting that many children watch the morning news show.
"We really had to take the decision very seriously and found that his performance was very unpredictable at night and (we) didn't know what to expect in the morning," she said.
