Both is very bittersweet, but beautifully done. That's the greatest homage to Freddie and Queen in my books. But believe me, I wish Freddie was still with us. |

One thing is for certain...AL has been the best thing to happen for Queen in the States when it comes to concert attendance since Freddie died. I believe many of the QPR shows were less than half full. |

Queen had a resurgence in popularity then too. I'd actually put that above the biopic.i don't just mean money wise, but the music was out there, selling, being used in film, tv etc. Let's see Freddie Tribute and Wanye's World Made In Heaven. That managed to get Queen a whole new generation of fans. The biopic is what is doing it these days. |
SweetCaroline 13.02.2019 18:49 |
I think Queen music has always been with us. Just because I am a fan of Adam doesn’t mean I wasn’t aware of it before. Like his family, I was thrilled at that Idol finale when Kris and Adam and the rest of the contestants sang WATC with Brisn and Roger. It was an exciting surprise. Most iconic artists have one or maybe two songs that they are known for worldwide, but the Queen band has so many you can’t count them on two hands. The best thing about the movie is definitely the music and they did a very good job of inserting each song in the appropriate scene. Despite its timeline flaws, the movie works because of the music. And despite the criticism from the people who don’t think Adam is the right man to tour, the shows are loved and successful because of the music. I recommend both — the movie and the live stage shows — not because of Rami or Adam — but because of the spectacular and magnificent music! I’m reading that some people have seen the movie 6 times (I’ve seen it 3 times). So what is wrong with the people who call it trash and refuse to see it? Are they afraid they might like it after all? |
PrimeJiveUSA 13.02.2019 20:32 |
@Icy Yes...the mid90's was a comparable resurgence. I guess what makes this movie resurgence so spectacular is how LONG it's now been since Freddie died. |

Gaga is one of my fav songs and it gives me chills when I see the audience interaction with the band, whether it be Freddie or Adam. It was so cool to be in an audience of thousands and have everybody responding that way to the music. Are there any other songs, Queen or otherwise, where there is a certain response by the audience like the Gaga thing? Don't laugh as I really don't know Sweet Caroline being sung at the Red Sox game at the bottom of the 8th inning is comparable, but not really the same! Queen music just touches the inner fibre of your being like no other music. |

He so touched lives that someone else can sing it and folks still respond in the way they did for Freddie. Freddie lives through the music. |

I wouldn't call what Freddie did and AL does the same at all. Yes, the music is living on, and so is Freddie's legacy, but it didn't and doesn't need AL to be the one to bring it back, simply because it has never went away. |
snifflese 14.02.2019 02:37 |
Icy, you sound so resentful towards Adam for no good reason. Freddie isn't here to sing that song and it has gone away if no one is singing Gaga and continuing the tradition. Adam brought it back because he sings for QAL and that is one of their signature songs. I have never seen Freddie in concert singing this live, so I have no comparison in my mind. Adam does an amazing job with it and moved the audience to respond in the way they always had. You could just feel the love in the audience when this song is performed. I would say that it was a job well done. Adam isn't playing a part. He isn't Freddie, doesn't need to be Freddie and doesn't want to be Freddie and he carries this off being Adam, who most people who go to the concert are very pleased with. The concerts would not be sold out already if people didn't like the way Adam sang with Queen. Just playing the music with an average singer/frontman will not guarantee a full house just because it is Queen's music. PR didn't sell shows out and had pretty mediocre reviews. There was a reason they quit touring. It is a full house now at the QAL concerts because Brian, Roger, and Adam put on a kick ass show. Too many people go to multiple shows during multiple tours and they are not thinking, "Wow, this isn't Freddie" like you. They go because they love the show in its present configuration. People don't pay the kind of money it costs for tickets to attend a concert they don't really enjoy. It just doesn't work that way. You have to conclude that Adam does a great job and people are happy to watch him perform with Queen. Everyone I have talked to in person who was at a QAL show has been effusive about the performance of Roger, Brian and Adam. I haven't talked to one person at any of the shows who didn't think it was awesome. I know you don't want to give Adam any credit, but they wouldn't be selling out with any other singer, IMO. |
SweetCaroline 14.02.2019 03:00 |
There are people who think by watching the trailer of the Bohemian Rhapsody movie, they can judge the whole movie and there are people who think by watching a YouTube clip of a QAL concert, they can judge the whole show as if they are physically there in that arena or outdoor venue surrounded by the magic of the spectacular sound and lights! |

But I'm never going to like everything to do with it, but on the flip side I'm never going to hate everything eithier. I'm aware Freddie isn't here to sing the songs. Fact of the matter is that the music has never died out, for years before Q+AL began, the music was still being used on TV, film, it was still being sold and played. It was that way even before Q+PR began. I personally think and I know this to be true that many Queen fans go see Q+AL show/s because they want to see and hear Brian and Roger play the music. That and the power of Queen's music and that's what I've been told why some people go. And if some people don't go, hey their choice. Yes, it does come across that AL is playing a part during Q+AL shows. 99% of the music isn't even his own after all. It's more Broadway than a hard rock concert is how I see it. As for Q+PR, you have to keep in mind that social media and the internet wasn't the same as it is today. Personally, I think Q+AL kicked ass, in my opinion. It was more about the music than gimmicks than Q+AL has been... I think I'll always feel that way. |
snifflese 14.02.2019 04:41 |
Of course, I am sure people go to see Brian and Roger. I do, too! But they couldn't carry off the show on their own anymore. It is impossible for them to play and sing and do everything. It is amazing that they can do what they do, esp. Brian. How he manages to sing and do all that amazing guitar playing at his age is a puzzler to me. A lot of young people couldn't carry that off. But many, many people go because with the three of them, it just works. I am not sure why you keep bringing up that it isn't Adam's music. At this point, so what? If you can sing the songs and carry them off and people are more than happy, why does that affect anything? Tons of people all around the world sing music that they didn't write or weren't the first to perform. That is not a non starter for many people. On Broadway they change stars and singers all the time. People don't say, "Well, So and So was the first to sing this part, now I am not going because someone else is". I personally find that kind of silly. You go and either enjoy the show as it currently is or you stay home. Some of it is Broadway, but there are still plenty of rock elements. Brian isn't playing broadway, trust me. The show is divided into segments and covers different genres of music with different costumes, background elements and it is really neat the way the show is configured. As I always say, It just works! As far as QPR, you are one of the few (and mostly they are die hard Queen fans) who say that QPR kicked ass. I have read tons of comments and reviews and that is not the general consensus. Everybody likes something different, but you really work hard at denigrating everything Adam does. I don't get it. You always have reasons why he is not worthy, if you want to put it that way. We will just agree to differ on that one. |

Phillip Storey should check this youtube out and see how uninterested the audience seems and how they are all sitting on their hands and totally bored. Right! Adam's voice and personality are infectious and the audience is always enthralled when he sings. People don't attend concerts if that is not the case. |

Jennifer Lopez was awful. It became all about her with that butt wiggling and hair streaming. IMO she was totally inappropriate and brought nothing to the table. She is getting a little old to wear a tight onesie like that!! It was an homage performance to herself and not Elvis. Other than Erlich hardly anyone thought she did a good job, if you read the 100's of comments on that article. I found it to be embarrassing performance and she needs to take a break from singing performances. |

I would have loved to hear Adam sing "It's Now or Never", one of my fav Elvis songs. I enjoyed Josh Groban very much and I have a lot of his music as he has a great voice. But I would have loved to hear a high tenor sing that one! Of course you are not sure if you liked Adam's cover! Why does that not surprise me, Icy! Most everybody (from tweets and comments online, not just my opinion), loved Adam's version which combined great singing and showmanship. He woke up a sometimes sleepy crowd and most thought Adam was one of the top performers of the night. I still think you have a bias against Adam and you don't even realize it. You are somehow programmed to pretty much dislike anything about him, just because it is him. Not fighting with you, but that is what I always see and it is no different here. There is always something that is not quite right and you just aren't like that with other performers normally. At least you are consistent, which is a good trait! |

It would be a cover after all and those are not good to be singing, obviously and they have no relationship to Queen. I am really confused about this? I think it is a terrible idea.

Now you have 2 singers with no relationship to Queen and suddenly you think that is a great idea, obviously. Why should they be singing with Queen all of a sudden? It would be a cover after all and those are not good to be singing, obviously and they have no relationship to Queen. I am really confused about this? I think it is a terrible idea. They need to go with the guy who has been their lead singer for over 6 years.Relax, it was just a joke. |

But I would have loved to hear a high tenor sing that one! Of course you are not sure if you liked Adam's cover! Why does that not surprise me, Icy! Most everybody (from tweets and comments online, not just my opinion), loved Adam's version which combined great singing and showmanship. He woke up a sometimes sleepy crowd and most thought Adam was one of the top performers of the night. I still think you have a bias against Adam and you don't even realize it. You are somehow programmed to pretty much dislike anything about him, just because it is him. Not fighting with you, but that is what I always see and it is no different here. There is always something that is not quite right and you just aren't like that with other performers normally. At least you are consistent, which is a good trait!Oh dear. Yes, I wasn't sure if I liked it right away.Fact is, I was watching it while having a migraine by the way. I literally had to lower the volume during some of the show, even for Carrie Underwood. I recorded the show, so I will be watching it again. Right now, I still don't know if I liked it, because I've only watched/listened to the whole show once as of now. Dammed if I do, dammed if I don't. |

No clue what those weird marks mean. They make no sense to me. I didn't think any of it was funny personally. Don't get how mentioning Adele and Sam is a joke/ and or humorous at all. I am obviously not on the same wavelength as you two, but we already know that! If you have to watch something several times to decide if you really like it or not, chances are you don't. Things grow on people, of course, but for something like that, it normally strikes a chord or it doesn't. That show was a really good one, with a lot of strong singers and I wish they had more things like that on TV. I liked it the first time around! The only weak thing was the medley at the end, that was pitiful. |

But leave Brancelli out of it. He was being funny, sarcastic, witty, the fact you didn't get it and needed it pointed out to you that he wasn't being serious is a SMH moment. Even more so that my response to his post has ruffled your feathers. Good for you if you like things right away. I wasn't in any mood to pass judgement on the performances last night, like I said I had a migraine and those bitches hurt like hell ;-). I will watch it again, hopefully sometime this week. I will let you know if I end up liking it. Or if I don't like it, I will let you know that too ;-). Fair enough? |

Let Brian and Roger perform with Sam and or Adele and then we will see your butthurt then LOL. You were jealous enough when Nate and GaGa sang with them for crying out loud. You thought it took away from AL and his time. I don't know why you continue to harp on about Sam being British by the way. Another thing you hold against him, I suppose. One of many things you have against the guy, because it boils down to that Sam is more popular than AL. Sam and Adele do not need to perform with Brian and Roger to make their marks, because Sam and Adele already have made their marks without riding on coattails. |

I think the difference is that you guys are perfectly fine with no Adam at the Oscars or not ever playing with Queen. I know that applies to you, Icy, and the creeps on here. Brancelli appreciates Adam's voice, but not so much singing Queen, is the impression I get. You all think the joke is hilarious. For those of us who really like Adam and QAL, there isn't much funny about it. It is sarcastic at our expense and Adam's. You and Brancelli and the others are all in lockstep with this one, Icy. We will see who has the last laugh. And anybody who can once again mention people (Adam) riding on coat tail's has little respect for that person. I just think that is a totally unwarranted thing to always say. I doubt it is an easy thing to sing with a band like Queen and it is doubly so to have to put up with the nastiness that comes from Queen's fans. It sounds as if the job could be very onerous at times, both for Brian and Roger and even more so for Adam. |

So, yes, it's a surprise he will be attending and apparently performing. I guess you missed it where I had said I think it would be unlikely for Brian and Roger to perform, since there was no original music written for the film? Hands up, I was wrong. I wasn't expecting a performance. Why is the joke Brancelli and my reply to it getting to you this much? It's hardly remotely offensive. You seem to be insulted, and I don't even think AL would be insulted by the post Brancelli made or my reply to it. I think once again, you are looking to fight over the least little thing. Brancelli meant no harm for God's sake. And you couldn't tell his post and my reply to it was sarcastic, so boom you go off again. You are making a big deal out of nothing once again. |

To each his own, but I don't see it that way. There are way too many digs here at Adam and QAL. You guys are laughing at and not with. You have mentioned about Adam not appearing at anything to do with the movie since it wasn't his place. He always has nothing to do with anything Queen related, since he just hangs on their coat tails and he has absolutely nothing to do with their success since Queen has always been successful. And on and on it goes. I can read between the lines. I know you had absolutely no desire for them to have a chance at being at the Oscars. It is veiled in everything you say. I think this will be a big deal for QAL and it will get them tons of promotion and more people interested in the Queen story and hopefully, for Adam, too. He has new music to put out and this promotion can only help him. He has worked really hard all these years and I would love to see him more successful and more well known. This is a great start for the band and for him personally. I hope it will be a wonderful night for them. |
Brancelli 19.02.2019 02:07 |
It wasn't my intention to offend. Everyone knows how much Caroline likes Adele and Sam Smith, and it was just too easy not to resist the opportunity. I do like Adam, and I think he is a great singer. Even though I don't necessarily think his voice fits with Queen, I'm happy for him for the opportunity and wish him nothing but the best. I hope he performs well at the Oscars and don't wish him any ill will whatsoever. |

Because of what some other people have to say about AL, you have your feathers ruffled about an innocent, harmless joke. You didn't get the joke, so you are upset at brance and I. Of all the thingsfor anyone to become insulted by. Come on, snifflese, you are better than this. Yes, I have mentioned that...a while ago, but not today. It seems you hold on to grudges somewhat. Since you want to go there, alrighty then... Of course you think this will be a big deal for Q+AL and AL too. Why not guess what they will perform in the thread I started? Or make your own thread. No doubt that Q+AL performing is a big deal. It will be a bigger deal if the biopic wins what it's nominated for, good luck to it all. If the biopic wins everything it's up for, that will be a bigger deal than Q+AL performing, IMO. As for the Oscars promoting AL and his solo music/caree, well his own music will have to do that for him instead of his fans hoping and putting ntheir hopes that the biopic success will somehow help AL and his career ( and you wonder why I say AL is riding on coattails ). The biopic isn't about AL at all. It's about Freddie and Queen and what they did together, not about AL or even Q+AL. |

Brancelli, did you see that pre Super Bowl concert where Taylor Hawkins sang “Under Pressure” with Dave Grohl? At the end he said that Queen songs are hard to sing, That’s why we are so complimentary to Adam because he makes it look so effortless. I’ve been reading that he is vacationing in Mexico and not rehearsing. Oh boy, if they open the Oscars with Bohemian Rhapsody, which I am assuming they will do, he better not get those lyrics out of order. I hope they are able to flash Freddie’s image at the end. |

I hope Freddie and John will be shown somehow during Q+AL performance no matter what Q+AL performs at the Oscars. Because they were...and still remain such an important part of Queen and that history after all. IMO, Freddie deserves more than just a 'flash' at the end. Hopefully Freddie's vocals will be used at the end of Bohemian Rhapsody, with no 'duet' with him and AL at the end if BR will be performed. |

I am not counting on the biopic to do anything for Adam. As you always say, Adam has zero to do with the success of the movie. However, the biopic has given Adam a chance to perform at the Oscars. How he performs and whether it will be a successful performance is all on him. Often one performance is all it takes to make or break a career. Adam creating that moment and being successful at the Oscars has nothing to do with the biopic anymore, It was simply the vehicle to get him to that point with the other guys and now it is up to Adam to kill it! It is a huge honor for Brian, Roger and Adam. It will be a bigger deal if the movie wins the Oscar, but performing at the Oscars has to be every band or singer's secret wish. Lots of folks get an opportunity, but stumble. It is up to Adam to bring it for a performance that nobody forgets and that will have nothing to do with the biopic or coat tails. It will be his moment (independent of the biopic) and Brian and Roger's moment. What has gone on in the past or the biopic has zero to do with that moment. It is on the band to bring and make it something people don't soon forget. I figure Brian and Roger and Adam will definitely be able to create an amazing moment in Oscar history! I think they will sing a short medley of 2-3 songs including parts of BR. |

Brian and Roger are giving AL a chance to sng at the Oscars that he would not have likely had otherwise, however. Brian and Roger at the Oscars will be way more important than AL singing what is likely to be another cover/s of Queen song/s that he has likely done before. Win or lose, Brian and Roger and Freddie and John is what is very important this year Oscars, not AL, sorry. Like heck it is AL's moment and like heck it is up to AL who I doubt will or has much input as to what Brian and Roger decide to perform at the Oscars. I imagine as usual, time will be tight, even without a host. I'd rather one complete song than a medley after thinking about it more. I also imagine it could be hard to pick one song. Bohemian Rhapsody is the most likely choice for it. |
Brancelli 19.02.2019 05:02 |
Adam is like Sisyphus here, destined to push a rock up the mountainside. He's on the wrong side of the slope. Unfortunately, no matter how great (or strong) he is, he will be compared to Freddie. He has the potential to fall short in the eyes of the public even if he sings it better. It's gonna be hard for him to have "a moment". But at the same time, he gets to open the Oscars with a couple remaining members of Queen, so in that respect he's been thrust into a great spotlight, one of envy for many. Good luck, Adam. |

Icy, why don't we just forget about Adam and just have Freddie sing from the Great Beyond? I think that is probably the only thing that would ever make you happy. Then we could do a Hologram of John, who doesn't care enough to join in, but he should also be remembered!! I can see why having Freddie take some part in BR is entirely appropriate to this because of the biopic. But other bands who have different singers, musicians, etc, when folks have died or been replaced, don't have constant reminders of the missing band mates. At some point enough is enough is they are moving into future concerts. I will concede the point here, but it gets a little stale at some point. QAL always remembers Freddie, but it seems it is never enough for you. I don't know how many concerts you have listened to lately, but if the lead singer doesn't bring it and sings like crap, the performance will be a dud no matter how brilliant the musicians and back up vocals are. Of course Brian and Roger make all the decisions but I am sure Adam has input after all this time and it will be how well Adam sings that will determine how the performance is judged. For me you can leave John totally out of it. He has the choice to attend if he wishes. This is Adam's moment to shine regardless of what you think. That performance will sink or swim depending on his singing and showmanship. The biopic won't help a bit, if Adam doesn't shine in that performance but I know he will! QAL is amazing and many more folks here in the US will realize that after this performance. I am sure it will be one of the big moment's in Roger's and Brian's life, not just singing another Queen cover for them. You are amazingly dismissive sometimes. You know, everything isn't always about Freddie at this point either. There is a lot more to Queen than just Freddie, although that is not the case for you. This is an important moment in |

It would be nice if his vocals was included in what Brian and Roger decide to perform. Even having his vocals at the end of Bohemian Rhapsody if that song was picked to play at the Oscars would be a nice touch. Since Freddie wrote the song and it's the title of the biopic, you know. Sheesh, I can't believe what I have to explain to you today/, tonight. I don't like holograms by the way. I've said more than once I think it's tacky. But a little montage wouldn't hurt, well except for the AL fans who might think takes away from AL. No, the Oscars aren't AL's time to shine. It's not even his music that he will be singing. The biopic is about Freddie nand Queen, the focus should be about that and not AL. You know AL will shine do you? Let's wait to what he does and how it's pulled off. And most importantly let's not forget that it's Freddie's and Queen's history and music that matters most of all . Freddie deserves to be recongised, but that doesn't mean I think he is the only one who matters in Queen. |

Every performance at a big event is a huge deal in the life of the performer. Why do you think Gaga gets more and more outrageous at her performances? She is looking for a grand slam that will catapult her career ever higher. Every performer is thinking about that. This is a moment for Adam which doesn't take away from Freddie or the biopic or anything else. But he is a performer also and this is a big moment for him, for Roger and Brian and for all their fans who all want them to be hugely successful in that performance. This is a first for Brian and Roger also and they seem over the moon about it!! Let it be about someone besides Freddie for just a couple minutes. That would be a refreshing change of pace. |

It's not his music, not his biopic simply put. Going by your recent posts here, it's obvious you think AL should even come before Freddie, the biopic, more than anything else. All AL will do is sing some songs/s he has likely sang before. The biopic and the Queen legacy is more important, as it should be. |

Adam is a more skilled singer especially in mix voice, but it’s hard to deny Marc Martel has the voice for queen songs. He does a pretty good Nessun Dorma as well. |

They used Marc for the Happy Birthday, Love of My Life and smile Audtion, the rest was Freddie - according to the sound editor guys it was 99% Freddie. I've no doubt they recorded far more of Marc but it likely ended up on the cutting room floor. link Puzzled why Adam would follow Marc since Marc doesn't follow either Roger, Brian or Queen anymore and they don't follow him. I personally see no reason he would be singing with them at the Oscars, Adam is their current singer for the last 7 years and IMO they wouldn't appear with Marc instead that would be weird and not make sense he was just a hired soundalike and if it hadn't been him they'd have found someone else. |

I am sure Brian and Roger are also rooting for him as I know they would also like him to be successful. They have been nothing but great friends to him and they are also appreciative of what he brings to the table. They are not as dismissive as you are, luckily. This will be a big night in a lot of people's lives. All the other singers of the big songs are hoping to have a breakout evening. I am not sure what is so awful about that.Despite what some people think Adam gets lots of opportunities away from Queen, the Elvis tribute in the company of big names, the Cher tribute etc, he's far more respected in the industry than some people like to imagine and it's likely the reason he gets no stick from the media about singing with Queen +, they would have eaten him alive if he couldn't cut it but instead they talk about him as an equal and often mention him as a solo artist first before tagging on the "current frontman for Queen" moniker so I wouldn't worry about a few people's perceptions, they aren't shared out in the wider world. |

Icy, for you the band and the world is only here to pay homage to Freddie. If you can't even understand why an Oscar performance is a big deal to any singer, regardless of whose music it is, then there is not point in saying anything else. It is totally useless. |

It would be nice if Freddie and John was somehow included in whatever Q+AL decides to perform. Do you think that's wrong or something? Or do you want all the attention for AL since you think it's AL's time to shine as you put it? |

Everything you write on here is about how wonderful Freddie is and how he always should get more acclaim, more notice, more mentions in the show, etc, etc. Then sometimes you add in John. In all of that there is never really much mention of Roger and Brian. And, of course, Adam is a nobody who definitely shouldn't even be mentioned. You say, "Why would this performance be important to them as the biopic is about Freddie { what exactly are Brian and Roger, are they not also a big part?- (you did state yesterday again that the biopic is about Freddie for the umpteenth time), and it is just a cover Adam will sing so basically who cares?"} I bet Roger and Brian care a damn lot about their performance, maybe as much or more as the film winning the Oscar! They are performers, consummate musicians that get one of the biggest platforms there is. If you don't think that gets their juices flowing, you have another think coming. Adam is a huge part as to whether or not that will be successful. It could be a huge help for his future success. They are in the here and now, not in the great beyond, so this whole Oscar performance is extremely important to the 3 main members of QAL. They have gone forward with their lives and will be looking to the future. Roger and Brian want to be successful in this endeavor as much as Adam. It is a matter of pride to them and they want to show the world what they still have as musicians, that Queen is still pertinent to 2019. At this point I doubt Freddie is uppermost in their minds. They just want to give a killer performance that will set twitter blazing. |

You must be worried it might take away from AL or something. All you are proving, is that you are bitter to the legacy of Freddie and that AL is the most important person for you. It might help AL and his future success? The biopic and the Oscars are not about AL. Not even about Q+AL. So Q+AL want to give a performance just to get Twitter blazing? That's all that matters is it? No, I don't think that way for a second. Get the Glamberts chatting about his hair, what he will be wearing, instead of what should be about Freddie and Queen. You make it obvious that you feel AL is more important than the Queen legacy and Freddie's legacy. Hate to break it to you, AL isn't that important this time around. No matter if the biopic wins what it's nominated for, people will be speaking about Freddie and Queen. |

I will be shocked if the opening of the Oscars is anything more than an outstanding performance of Bohemian Rhapsody where they will be able to show the opera portion with all four original members and because the biopic is about Freddie, they will have the image of Freddie at the end singing “any way the wind blows.” That is enough to bring the house down with a standing ovation I would imagine! |

You are so filled with malice, Icy, that it is not even funny. You can not, will not appreciate anything that is not Feddie centric and since he has not been with us for close to 30 years, that means you don't give a crap about anything since that point. Hate to break it to you, but that performance is really important to Brian and Roger and Adam and that is basically all I care about at this point. This has nothing to do with Queen's or Freddies's legacy. This has to do with QAL and how they appear to the rest of the world. After a phenomenal performance people will also be talking about QAL and thinking of seeing them in the future at a concert and buying Queen's and Adam's music. You know most people in the viewing audience in the US will never have seen Freddie in concert. What they will remember is this performance because it may well be the only one they will ever see. People only remember what they see on TV and they don't go for the backstory or any of that any more. So, If Brian and Roger and Adam do a super job, that will be the take away for the general viewing audience, not what Freddie's legacy is. The majority of the American viewing audience could care less. |

For you everything and anything must be about AL. How selfish and entitled you are coming across. The Oscars you said are AL's time to shine, sure let's just forget about Freddie, Queen, the biopic to make it all about Lambert, shall we? Get over yourself. You don't get to say how a viewing audience would feel. I guess you have your hopes and fantasies set on AL being what people will remember and be talking about. Like I always thought, it's AL that matters the most for you. If not for Freddie and Queen, he would be very unlikely to perform at the Oscars at all. I think deep down you know that. Turn your rage on me once again because you didn't get a joke yesterday, and you want AL to get attention because he will perform at the Oscars. Do you have a thought about hoping the biopic and or Rami wins, or the biopic itself? Apparently you dont, same goes for Freddie and Queen. You can't be bothered. |

You just twist everything around, Icy. I love Queen and greatly appreciate Freddie's talent. I am sure there will be a lot of accolades for the biopic which they deserve. Freddie will be highlighted in the performance just like they always do. The band always references him in a tasteful way. I sincerely hope Rami wins, he deserves it. But I think the performance is also important to the members of QAL and you refuse to see that point. It is you being selfish, entitled and hypocritical, all the things you are calling me. Nobody is forgetting Freddie, least of all me, but there is another side to the evening. That is also important and yes, it is important to Adam. How that detracts from the wonder that is Freddie, I don't know. There is plenty to go around for everybody, but you can't see that. Every little thing that is not about Freddie is upsetting to you. I find that really sad. I am done discussing thissince you just will not see any other side but your own. To me all of it is important. |

You make it seem so bad that I'd like a little more of Freddie and John being shown at the Oscars, because it's their music and history too. Way more of their history and music than AL's. Are you sure Freddie will be highlighted? I'm not, because at this point I don't know what Brian and Roger will decide to perform and how given the time limits. The Oscars are more important for Queen than it is for AL, that's a fact. It's not AL's history, not his music,not his life up there. I hope Rami wins too. The biopic might not win, but either way I am happily surprised how things have gone this far regarding nthe biopic. It honestly did better than I ever thought it would. I'm sure if Rami wins, he will give another heartfelt speech. |

Brancelli 21.02.2019 04:26 |
Ok, just saw it. Well, guess it was smart singing a song in English (even though his English is not good), but this song has been done to death on these type shows. I don't like that they condense the songs to a couple of minutes, cause it sucks the soul out of them and he has to hit the highs. That being said, I thought he did pretty good and looked better this week physically. Don't think he was sick. He has full versions of this particular song that are much better though. Glad he made it to the next round. |
SweetCaroline 21.02.2019 06:53 |
Dimash got the highest score of the night once again. They do the same thing on other talent shows as well. Adam always had to cut his performances on American Idol down to 2 minutes. I actually liked those 2 minute versions better than the longer studio versions that he recorded later. Going back to Dimash, I think he will be the ultimate winner because he has the natural charisma and exciting presentation of his talent that grabs his audience. |

He looks so much younger there!! WoW!! I had forgotten about Naked Love. That was one of my favorites even though it wasn't a ballad with lots of high notes that I am normally a fan of! My daughter-in-law had heard his CD and that was her pick for the best song that could do well for him. It was catchy and I loved the lyrics, but I guess it wasn't something a gay guy could sing from snippets I had read, just like Underneath. Had any boy band or other person sung Naked Love, I do think it could have been a big hit Adam just missed out on the "anything a gay guy sings is now OK"' period of time. I also thought Fever could have been a huge hit, but Adam wouldn't sing it with "She". So, Icy, I do think his career has been affected by homophobia, even though you always say it isn't true. With Adam I feel it has been the case. He also is more of an in your face kind of gay man so that he can't get away with things like a milk toast Sam Smith can, although Sam is starting to "feel" it and coming out with interesting statements about his sexuality. That is the other part of the equation that hurt Adam. I forget how many of Adam's songs I really did like. He was ahead of the train with the Trespassing album and songs like Shady that others like Bruno Mars and Nile Rogers came out with in the same style after that. Avici never released his song with Adam as a song that went to Billboard and it was one of the best. I loved Lay Me Down. Adam's career has had a lot of near misses, so I hope this time around he hits it right on target. He deserves it after all these years of working so hard. I really hope his new song on the Play Mobil movie will be popular. Can't wait to hear that one. I know that If I had been choosing Adam's songs, I would not have picked any of them and I really dislike WDYWFM. |

I know that If I had been choosing Adam's songs, I would not have picked any of them and I really dislike WDYWFM.I will never believe that homophobia has hurt AL in the ways it has been claimed by some of his fans. All of the excuses that some have of his fans have gave has actually hurt him more than helped him, IMO. That's as plain and as simple as I can put it. Not meaning to argue with you, busy couple of weeks, my dad took a turn for the worse, so I've barely been here. Actually just got back from visiting him in the hospital. |

Sorry about your Dad, icy. Take care! Sorry but just think if Adam were straight what a whole different life he would have had. I don’t think he would have needed American Idol to get noticed. Like Paula said, he should have been snatched up way before 2009. But ........ on the other hand, he might have been like Brad Pitt and Tom Cruise, married and divorced several times! I just played my recording of the Oscars opening again and it really is outstanding! Our cousins in Pennsylvania finally watched the Bohemian Rhapsody movie today thru Amazon and are on Facebook raving about it. |

I guess we will have to agree to disagree. I am not sure how fans believing something hurts the artist. Most people are not reading blogs and forums and wouldn't have a clue about any of this. You have to be pretty hard core to know these things and it is only discussed in places like here or Adamtopia. I firmly believe if Adam had been straight his career would have be entirely different and it started with that disastrous AMA performance where the initial homophobia raised. It only continued from there. Not everything has been due to that, some of it was just wrong timing or wrong choices, but homophobia played a good part in the problems in the beginning, even prior to the AMA's. It was apparent in his outing on the show by Bill O'Reilly and the questions he had to endure about it. He lost lots and lots of fans after they realized he was gay. It was a shame, but even 10 years ago viewpoints on homosexuality were not nearly as progressive as now and Idol had a rather conservative audience. If he had done that AMA performance today, most people would not bat an eye, but he got cancelled on a show the following week and pretty much was not on mainstream TV for a long time. This is the first year he has had any big performances like the Kennedy, Elvis and Oscar shows. Adam himself has said that he thought his career was gone after the AMA's and that was due to homophobia, so I don't know how you can think there were no such issues for him along the way. Freddie wasn't the only one with gay issues, although his problems were much more severe due to the time period. So sorry to hear about your dad. I have wondered if things were problematic since you haven't been posting. I am sending out lots of good thoughts for both you and your dad and will add him to my prayers! Take care of him and yourself!! |

Take care of him and yourself!!It can hurt an artist. I've read everything from homophobia to payola that some believe hurt AL's career, a poster here has come up with many excuses, so many excuses, it's unreal at this point. As for the AMA same sex kiss that AL did, who knows what would have happened if AL didn't do the same sex kiss. It was done spur of the moment for shock value...what was done, is done. And I honestly think he has moved on from that now. As for him getting major appearances, sure, but with those three events, it was to sing cover songs and not his own music. Other male gay artists have had crap ( to put it mlidly ) thrown at them too, Freddie, Elton John, George Michael are three men who truly had it worse than AL ever did frankly. The tabloids hounded Freddie when he was very ill and even on his death bed. Tabloids spread rumors about Elton John which could have ended his career, he was right to sue about it. Horrific and heartbreaking to think about even now what Freddie and Elton John went through. And I will always feel that way about it. Thanks genuinely for your well wishes for my dad. It's sad... actually fkn depressing and fkn scary as hell going through this. I wouldn't wish it on my worst enemy. I'm going to give him your well wishes tomorrow when I go visit him, every little bit helps <3. I hope you are doing well these days. I got to try to sleep because I'm in desperate need of sleep. |

Iron Butterfly, It wasn't the same-sex kiss that did Adam in. It was when he pushed the head of the male dancer into his crotch. Most watching thought Tommy (the guy Adam kissed) was a girl anyway. |

I suspect after what he's said about his new music and the pics of other artists he's posted recently he's going back to a 70's glam rock style of music and the hair is going in that direction as well.although his latest pic isn't very glam, looks like he be could be going grunge lol link |

I haven’t learned? That article was in the L.A. Times — nothing secret about it! What have YOU learned about picking on people and what they are free to post in a free country? Why was the moderator at QOL splitting out posts from people fighting with each other again? Can't blame that one on the “evil” lady who isn’t there. Did you get Mithril banned? The poor thing posts once a year and you immediately go after her like you will if I ever stupidly go back there again. Suggestion: mind your own business. |

The above was said, first page of this thread and not by me. This person who said "try sucide" was never called a hateful bitch, selfish, heartless, compared to Hitler and the Gestapo in response by SweetCaroline , not even close to what SweetCaroline has said about me. Saying try suicide is not right, but nor is what SweetCaroline says about me. The fact is the person who said try suicide never faced SweetCaroline's wrath the way I have. Which speaks volumes about the hate she has for me, and not even hate for the person who said "try suicide". I actually defended SweetCaroline about this. She would have everyone believe that no matter what, I'm the most terrible person here. And its not true. |
