Officials for the same parental advocacy group that blasted Adam Lambert’s homoerotic performance at Sunday night’s American Music Awards has accused ABC of “overreacting.” Network bosses scrapped the ex-Idol’s live performance on Good Morning America Wednesday morning, fearing his shocking three-song set would be inappropriate for early morning viewers after the singer stunned Americans with a sexually-charged finale at the AMA.

Officials for the straight-laced Parents Television Council were among the 1,500 viewers who complained to ABC about Lambert’s “simulated sex and other demeaning behavior” on the show, but it appears the good has changed its tune. The group’s spokesman, Dan Isett, now insists the network has been too harsh on the talent show sensation.

“I do think it’s a little bit unfortunate… The idea that he should be scrubbed from TV completely is not where we’re going. It may be a bit of an overreaction on ABC’s part.”

Adam will on perform live on CBS’ The Early Show on Wednesday morning.
