Geez, what a difference a label makes. All the South African social media peeps seem to beat to their own drum. I seem to remember the RCA SA twitter doing the same.

Proud Mary keep on burnin
I wouldn't be alone going to Urban Dictionary, right? Proud Mary 1. Proud Mary is a classic Creedence Clearwater Revival song. 2. A Proud Mary is a girl who will always stand up and be proud, nomatter what. 1. Rollin, Rollin, Rollin on the river. 2. She's such a Proud Mary, I bet she would Stand up for what she believes in. by Leah4543 October 24, 2007 I remember Adam using "Mary" somewhere before... WeHo slang? lyrics? It's a Tina Turner reference. He dances like her sometimes in STL when he throws his arms forward and shimmes back. ETA: adding a gif of Tina (closest to the camera) doing the Proud Mary dance move.

Some publications even went as far as to say that Freddie Mercury himself would have approved of Adam Lambert and the way he presented himself on stage, as the performer apparently has quite the energy and talent, and is not shy at all to show them to the public. Of course, those same publications were quick to remind people that they were in no way comparing Lambert to the late Freddie Mercury, who has an iconic status in the world of music. However, he still deserves a place in the musical hall of fame, as despite his early age, he’s already made some significant contributions to the industry. And Adam Lambert himself is reportedly enjoying the whole ordeal quite a lot, as he has expressed satisfaction from his performance and his ability to mesh with Queen, while also admitting that the whole experience has been a significant boost to his confidence. That should come as no surprise to anyone, as getting to play alongside one of the most iconic bans in the entire history of music is definitely something that can shoot a talented performer’s career into the skies. Lambert seems to recognize this and he’s already on the job to make use of his newfound fame, as the performer has been reportedly recording his own solo album, which he claims is going to transition his music into an entirely new era. He has evolved in terms of lyrics, emotions, sounds, and everything else, in his own words, and he describes the album as feeling very fresh. Many fans have been enthusiastic at the news, and seem eager to hear the album in action – although when exactly this is going to happen remains up for speculation. Lambert hasn’t given any indication about a possible timeframe for the album’s release, and given the fact that he’s reportedly only started his work on it recently, it could be a while until we get to hear it. In the end though, this could very well be the rise of a new star, and the wait could definitely be worth it, no matter how long it is. Lambert will probably keep his fans up to date with any new developments on the album, as he seems to rely to a large extent on his popularity with the crowds. And there’s certainly nothing wrong in that, as it’s an important aspect of a successful performer’s career.

Last night, woke up the spirit of unbridled rock band back in Berlin to life: Queen playing in her 45th year stage still the big stadiums. Since 2012, they come with talent show star Adam Lambert on tours. Like the man makes, you read here. It is quiet, almost dead silent. The legs are close to 15,000 people in this giant concert hall in the abdomen, half sitting impatiently in the stands. Starts a clapping, the o2 World does not need four seconds to match. From the stage roars, Spotlight search the huge curtain with printed logo from Queen. 20 clock it should go. Queen , the wondrous rock band of the '70s and' 80s wants to experience a revival in Berlin. An event that took place recently in 2008 with Paul Rodgers. Before that, there was the last chance to see one of the biggest rock bands on the planet in Berlin in 1986 with the phenomenon of Freddie Mercury. It is 20.20 clock. Some glow even in the warmest Wängchen Red, other natural rumple her hair with excitement. Then appeared as Brian May's shadow on the curtain - even the verdrießlichsten among the seasoned men conjures the guitarist now a smirk on his cheeks. ADAM LAMBERT IN PERFECT ROCK STAR POSES When the curtain falls, the looks are mainly due to the "new man" thrown on the mic. So Brian is Adam Lambert before later, the second of the "American Idol" season in 2009, the then presenting with Queen covers and must accompany the band since 2012. A dream for him, but, the 33-year-old real legacy? In fact, the erwatende to skepticism remains off instead flashes as a spark of nostalgia in the boozy faces on, emit little tear from eye. Because Adam just does everything right. Scrubs May one of his countless solos in exaggerated length, he is awesome Lambert to the side, even kneels down in front of the guitar legend when it defeat all the power of the distortion. Is it time to spin, he rides the microphone stand with his damn tight leather pants in "Stone Cold Crazy" or prancing in perfect rock star poses to "Another One Bites The Dust" on the big stage. He plays with the spirit of Mercury without get too close to him. There is a vast difference between the two namely: Adam has outed the beginning of his career, Freddie until shortly before his death. With his second album "Trespassing" Lambert was even the first obvious gay artist who topped the Billboard Charts. He oozes like Freddie ago sympathetic self-confidence: "? Now we rock finally, right" , he calls mischievously the Berliners and cheekily: "My Bitches out there who rises to your bikes and ride off." Hardly anyone seems it felt sick to assume that he moved his voice in the usual musical style in falsetto heights. Because he did not aggressively tried to imitate Freddie. Only in operatic pieces like "Killer Queen", he is his own idol remarkably close, especially if he still sipping on red besamteter couch from the golden champagne bottle. "I want to thank you. Because I am so happy that every night to be able to make. If it works for the one and only Freddy, then I am happy " , Adam brings out. "I love Freddy so hot." He wants to celebrate it on like every night. That sounded perhaps a little too plump therefore said, but before resentment can arise, Adam disappears again and returns to the legends. Brian continues with the acoustic guitar on a stool and surprised with knowledge of German: "Good evening, Berlin, alright It's nice to be back here ye me sing for Freddie.?" Then the doctor revealed in astrophysics with the white Mozart -Löckchen his "Love Of My Life". In the background - between the giant Q-construct that acts as an oval canvas - appeared to Freddie. Spooky. And somehow familiar so beautiful. May wipes away a tear and gets in front of his best buddies, with which it shares 45 years of band history: Mr. Roger Taylor. The nice Opi with the light gray Santa Claus beard shines in "A Kind Of Magic". He walks comfortably from the stage, on drums now sits his son Rufus Tiger Taylor, overflowing with energy. Even as the two duel in the drum solo, not a single sheet welding spot the black shirt by Taylor. Professionals, both. For "Under Pressure" then Adam Lambert comes out again. Somehow he has been wanting the man with the big gestures and the high notes. In "Who Wants To Live Forever" he sings tenderly like a bird under giant disco ball - the drama queen who just never forgotten. In them, the phenomenon of musicians who are six feet in front of you but will affect world away lives. Adam is just the perfect host, he served everything with pinpoint accuracy. Human adults become children again, amazed than wait a mountain cotton candy at them. Touching, but somehow also very easy to paradise. Outbreaks missing, rough elemental force, yet so alive from the rock. But this is whining at a high level. Lambert's voice dances with the audience, then again with May's guitar. "Radio Gaga" is the opera in which to live out Adam and can cuddle with the first rows. Brian makes Berlin a question: " What do you think of the new guy? " Buh will be a some escapes, but the crowd cheered. Because it simply just a way for Queen's "The Show Must Go On"! And prove the British damn strong in the encores "We Will Rock You" and "We Are The Champions". Lambert is in leopard coat and a golden crown in front of Berlin. " We will work with anyone else more after we have worked with the great Adam , "Roger Taylor was not until last December, know. OK then.

Well that review was much better! ETA: Although I read the "headless" review too, and I laughed my head off! It read like a parody.

On the discussion about the reviewer that gave QAL a bad review....of course everyone has a right to their opinion but....I'm thinking, by some of the things printed here that this person said, she had an agenda before even stepping into the arena....those type of people hardly ever change their small closed minds and, therefore, are irrelevant to me.JMHO For me it's ............. "PROUD MARY KEEP ON BURNIN"!!
