Quote :: The ladies of The View dove right back into the controversy over Adam Lambert's performance at the AMA's during Wednesday morning's 'Hot Topics' segment. The View matriach Barbara Walters interviewed Adam Lambert on Tuesday as part of her '10 Most Fascinating People of 2009' series, and asked the American Idol star turned scandalmaker-of-the-month how he was coping with all of the controversy.

Barbara Walters explained:

"The reason that GMA canceled was that he was going to do a performance, and ABC thought 'maybe not, this might not be exactly the right time, but we interviewed him just yesterday because he's one of our '10 Most Fascinating People of The Year.'"

So what did Barbara Walters think when she met the man Elisabeth Hasselbeck referred to as 'sexually aggressive' face-to-face?

"First of all I liked him," said Walters. "He's very likeable. He wasn't at all upset. He said that he just got carried away. He said that he's a very sexual person. He had not rehearsed this. And then he said 'You know there's a double standard. If Madonna had done this and you know people would not have been so upset, after all she kissed another woman on television.'"

He said: "You know. I got carried away."

Sherri Shepherd chimed in that Adam Lambert hasn't yet scored a high enough status in the popular music echelon to compare himself to stars like Madonna, or Janet Jackson with her Super Bowl wardrobe malfunction.

Although Adam Lambert was booted from ABC's scheduled performance on Good Morning America, he was scooped up by The Early Show on CBS, and will perform on Late Night with David Letterman on Wednesday night.
