Adam Lambert: ABC Did What They Needed To Do

ET has the latest... ET spoke with Adam Lambert this morning just after his "Early Show" appearance where he told us he understood why "Good Morning America" canceled his performance.

"ABC did what they needed to do," he told ET. "I respect their decision. They probably have a lot of politics going on behind the scenes that I don't know about. I just want to do a concert and sing. I'm glad that we got to give a show to the fans who came out. A lot of them traveled to New York so I'm glad that they got a show. That's what matters."

Meanwhile, "Early Show" reporter Maggie Rodriguez said she found Lambert to be very mature and didn't understand why he wouldn't be invited to explain his side of the story.
