Time still will be tight I dare say even without a host. If Bohemian Rhapsody is performed, I think it will be an edited version.

I guess that choice of song would make sense too. But yeah, edited down.

snifflese wrote: I would rather have a medley of several songs than one complete long song. I hope they do something other than WWRY and WATC, not my favs except at a sporting event, but the most popular, I guess. I am sure some part of BR will be played!

snifflese wrote: Well, it is about QAL also because they are opening the show and people are going to be very interested in their performance. They want to do their best and prove to people they still have what it takes and Adam wants to perform well so that he gains some more notice which will help sell his new music and further his career. Every artist on that show singing a song or performing is hoping for the same thing. So get over it being all about him. I am sure he would never think that, but he has to hope it will be positive for his career and for QAL who probably will be touring a lot more over the next year or two. I just bet that! People are interested in the history of Queen shown in the Biopic and are certainly curious what they are like as a band almost 30 years later. I love to see old performers on TV and compare them as to how they used to be. I think the audience will realize they haven't lost a step and they will be selling more of their hits than ever and gain lots of new fans. You can only play a DVD so many times, but you can play a song over and over. That is the part where I totally disagree with you. It is not just about the biopic, there are other things important to the band.

SweetCaroline wrote: As I said before, I am convinced the Oscars show will begin with Spike playing the famous beginning notes of Bohemian Rhapsody, then Adam will appear singing “Mama, just killed a man ..,..” Then Brian and Roger will appear playing their parts. Then the opera portion with the 4 original members singing will be projected. Then Adam will sing again and go up a ramp where he will salute the image of Freddie who will sing the last line, like they have done in their recent shows, followed by a standing ovation! I will be very surprised if they also do WWRY/WATC.

But I'm tuning in for Brian, Roger, the biopic and many more people. Sure, I bet the Glamberts are interested in the clothes AL will be wearing etc more than anything else. Fact is these days it's because of Queen's music, and the biopic that is helping make people into Queen fans. Both go hand in hand. The music is more popular these days than it has been in years...and that's without Q+AL shows. Queen and the biopic doesn't need AL, but you bet AL needs that to promote him. Don't tell me what is so important for the band after you are so horrified that I'd like to see Freddie and John being shown at the Oscars or Q+AL concerts. What is important for you is that Q+AL will get Twitter buzz after they perform, you have admitted to that much. Doesn't the hard work of the many people behind the biopic, the actors, and that it's keeping Freddie's and Queen's legacy alive matter anything at all to you? Doesn't seem like it. You are looking at things from a Glambert side, I'm looking at it from a Queen side. But you don't have to have a pop at me for hoping Freddie and John will somehow be included." Icy, you are impossible! You may think whatever you choose. I think you are so besotted with Freddie, you can't see straight. He is your guy, fine. As far as clothes, that is ridiculous. Not really worrying about the attire, although I am sure they will look appropriate, they always do. I also disagree that it is only the music and the biopic making Queen's music more popular. Playing close to 200 shows around the world with lots of publicity added quite a few fans to the mix. I can't believe you really think that, but that is your Queen world view of things. They have gained tons of fans after playing to millions around the world. Sure, the biopic has added many more, but you can't totally disregard QAL's touring. That is just plain wrong. Of course, I appreciate the work of many in the film, but there is a crap load of work involved for all the world tours QAL done and you sure disregard that. They are 100's of people involved with creating the show, the props, the lighting, the roadies, the sound people, etc, etc. Think about all the salaries that were earned by the folks working with the tour. The tour is keeping the legacy alive ALSO. And no, keeping Freddie's and Queen's legacy alive is not at the top of my list. You are just consumed with this idea. Wow! I have lots of other things I deem a lot more important. The biopic and QAL touring and Brian's tweeting and his work in scientific areas and his books are keeping Queen's legacy out there. I attend their concerts and that is good enough for me. I just hate how everything about QAL is pushed to the back burner and is totally minimized by you. You have had lots of shady remarks about Adam the last few days and that is the issue. You don't like him. I think it is because he gets so much praise and is reminiscent of Freddie in a lot ways and you can't abide that. Otherwise there is no reason for all the hate you throw at him and don't you even tell me that you like "Save Me", because you say far too many insidious things about him. I just don't want to hear it. I see what you write and hear your tone every day and it shows pure animus on your part. You have a totally different opinion that I do. Just have to leave it at that.

snifflese wrote: At some point Adam fans get tired of the constant derision and just throwing shade at both Adam and QAL. That is all you people do. Whenever you get a chance to make a sarcastic remark or laugh at Glamberts, you go full force. It just gets a little old. You are more subtle than some of the folks, but you do the same thing. Just tired of it, Icy.

soxtalon wrote: From everything that has been said - there is no host, the first award is expected about 7 minutes into the telecast. That leaves just enough time for Bohemian Rhapsody in it's (mostly) entirety

snifflese wrote: I don't feel like answering because no matter what I say, you will say the opposite and how stupid that is because Freddie is obviously way superior. It is an exercise in futility.
