US TV network ABC says glam-rocker Adam Lambert will appear and perform on its daytime talk show The View on Thursday.

The announcement comes almost two weeks after Lambert's racy performance on ABC's broadcast of The American Music Awards. That led to Lambert getting axed from an appearance on the network's Good Morning America.

Since then, Lambert, who is openly gay, complained of being dropped from two other upcoming ABC shows.

In the meantime, he has been scheduled for NBC's The Jay Leno Show on December 21.

And his taped appearance on The View will air a day after he is honoured by View co-panelist Barbara Walters on her 10 Most Fascinating People of 2009 special. That also airs on ABC.

Appropriate move, and quite frankly a savvy business move by ABC, who got quite a bit of ratings mileage out of Lambert, and then didn't play fair with Lambert or own up to their own role in the AMA situation. I think consumers would very much like to see Lambert on Dick Clark's NYRE telecast, a good venue for Lambert. Lambert has shown in various ways and methods that he is indeed able to discern differences in his potential audience/viewership. In a biography I was reading earlier, it was said that when asked what his main contribution was, Dick Clark replied that he was proud to present more artists on television then anyone else. Clark, who was apparently inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 1993, ought to have something to say about the appearance of a gifted performer/artist on a telecast bearing his name, and in some ways then also the weight of his legacy where it concerns music. I for one will not be watching ABC on NYE unless they reconsider and put Lambert on the DCNYRE broadcast.
