"It was called "raunchy," said Walters.

"Mm-hmm," said Lambert.

"Lewd. You ... groped a female dancer, you kissed a male musician.... Why did you do this?"

"To be honest with you, I just, adrenaline is a funny, funny thing," Lambert told Walters. "And I got ... I got really excited. You can't plan everything -- if I did a performance exactly how I rehearsed it, it would be so boring."

Walters asked Lambert if he regretted the performance.

"No," said Lambert. "No regrets."

Walters pointed out that "Good Morning America" canceled a scheduled appearance by Lambert after the AMAs.

"You were too lewd to be in the show," said Walters. "What effect is this going to have on your career?"

"I'm not sure," said Lambert. "Um, I -- you know, the other thing is, I -- I don't think that, you can really ... jump to conclusions about me as an artist based on one performance, that's, that's an ignorant thing to do."
