Excellent! Now we know when to start watching - approximately half way and then about 20 mins before the end... Thank you, bama ! GUYS, GUYS GUYS...if we want others to listen to Adam and come to appreciate him, we have to be prepared to offer the same respect to their favourites..... just saying.... we can't keep on indicating that we have no intention of watching anyone but Adam and expect them to like us or him.... and yes, this is a pretty public place and posts here end up in google searches... Not pointing to you particularly...and many, if not most of us, may share your sentiments.....but as a group we spend a lot of time dissing other performers and it is counter productive to our overarching goal of assisting Adam to world domination! LOL I cannot connect the dots on your logic exactly but I have no intention of watching this whole show and do not believe that decision will effect Adam in any way. *** I like many other musicians not named Adam Lambert and have a broad range of musical genres I like. I attend many, many concerts and a few major music festivals every year. I do not appreciate every artist and do not believe that if I post something critical about an artist it will affect Adam's career unless I am completely disrespectful and rude. I try to remain respectful. With so many options of music shows to watch, I am selective. (Example: I have seen Taylor Swift and Iggy Azalea and Meghan Trainor and Auria Grande enough times for this year. No knock, just bored with them for now. Maybe when they have new songs I will be interested again.) In this case, I will cherry pick this show because I do not want to spend 3 hours watching many artists that I have little or no interest in. For example, I have seen Sister Christina's "Like a Virgin" cover music video and YouTubes of her performing already. Nothing against her but not of interest to me to see again. I just watched Take That perform on the Graham Norton show, and once is enough for me -- I have no attachment to them/memories of their glory days, and no great love for their music. Many of the other artists are German and I do not know them. I do not believe that if I watch an entire 3 hour live stream or not anyone programming German TV will notice. I do not thing one fan will be offended by my selectivity -- if they are, they need to re-examine their perspective. I am not that important. But I will also not bash a show I have not watched in its entirety and not criticize artists I do not know and did not take the time to watch and learn about. ** On the larger point, there is a line between a thoughtful critique of an artist and a disrespectful, thoughtless comment. I posted my opinion of Taylor Swift (I am not a fan of her as a vocalist, and I question how much she had to do with writing a specific song that was a co-write with Max Martin and Shellback. It is a song that was very much like 2 prior Martin-Shellback songs.) It was based on actually seeing her perform live, on following Max Martin and Shellback closely for many year, so I believe it was a thoughtful, informed opinion -- and I stated it as my opinion. At least a couple people here believe I was bashing Taylor. So assuming I was bashing Taylor, no one outside of this board even noticed my post or commented on it. (based on a Google and Twitter search). It went unnoticed. My conclusion, unless an Adam fan behaves very badly -- for example, going to a Queen fanboard and posting that Adam "owns" STL (a song written by Freddie) and sings it better than Freddie ever could and is the best vocalist who ever lived -- I do not think we have that much effect. Even in this STL example (a real case), the posted was dismissed as delusional and the performance of SLT was classified as an excellent cover by Adam by many Queen fans. ** I believe that Adam's success is in his own hands. Fans can support him and help him but his destiny is not up to fans, one way or the other. It is his live, his career and his music. I feel lucky to be along for the ride. ** If someone can connect the dots from me posting a critical post about a musical performance or recording by an artist other than Adam and Adam's career success, I might change my mind but in many years of music fandom I do not recall any artist who was not successful because of passionate, single-minded, or even rabid fans -- and some artists have fans who make Adam fans look like they do not care at all. (Examples: Tokio Hotel/Bill Kaulitz, Ramones, Sex Pistols) ** Special moderator request: I used two examples above to illustrate my point. You are welcome to discuss the main point and disagree with me vehemently. But please do not start a discussion about Taylor Swift or about the Adam fan's post on the Queen board. Thanks.

Winebert @adamsanaconda 1m1 minute ago “@barry_Clarke93: @spamforben The X Factor duets are Fleur East and Bruno Mars, Ben Haenow and Adam Lambert, Andrea Faustini and Sam smith”? ETA: JAMES INGHAM @jamesinrehab 49m49 minutes ago The X Factor contestant WILL sing duets on tonight's show. I've been asked to keep them a secret though! @thexfactor JAMES INGHAM @jamesinrehab Daily Star Sunday's REHAB showbiz columnist. Celebrity, Reality TV & X Factor pundit. All views are my own & not those of my employer. LONDON · dailystar.co.uk/showbiz/rehab/ If that's true the duet pairings sound great... Some of the guest performers are presumably promoting their singles and not doing a duet > this is a possibility - but I've seen nothing official yet. (Remember, two nights' finale - starting soon, lol, in 1h30 I believe)

Out of the three finalist duets I would say @bhaenow would be the most pleased with his partner. Though all 3 good songs. #xfactor

I'll be watching this stream www.filmon.com/channel/itv1 (less ads and buffering than the tvpc ones, I recommend this one if it works for you).
