It drives me crazy that a reporter from my home town is dragging up old "news". It's all about the music!!!!!
Me too! I am from Milwaukee and I wanted to make a comment on the website but you can only do this if you have a subscription. I cancelled this rag several years ago and I am unwilling to throw money their way for this type of journalism.
I was frustrated with the weekend highlight portion when the writer said "several" arena concerts and festivals with Queen since 2011. Several??? How about 66 and counting.
Then he selects the 3 most overdone, outdated topics ever to include in his edited version of the interview: the AMA question, the Gay question, and then, "Why aren't you more successful?"
I am embarrassed and saddened that Adam had to respond to this tripe. He didn't throw nearly enough shade at that interviewer if you ask me. But Adam is infinitely more gracious than me. OK, rant over.
To end on a positive note, I am so looking forward to seeing TOHT on Tuesday. Adam was shown a lot of love at the Riverside during the Glamnation tour. I was lucky enough to be in the front row and witness a super sexy WLL encore with him splayed on the stairs. This will be the 1st concert since Idol performance and I am hoping to hear him perform WTTS!!!
I feel so much better now. Rather than use the comment section, I sent him an email. Really, Pete?
A new single, final appearance on American Idol, a successful solo tour in Asia and Australia/NZ, a summer festival Tour with Queen, a role in the upcoming Rocky Horror Picture Show on Fox....and your interview was about his sexuality! Who cares? This is about music. You are dragging up 7 year old stuff that doesn’t matter anymore. This is a man with an iconic voice; maybe just a little too good for the “pop” scene that competes with the likes of Swift, Bieber and other “auto tune” artists. This story makes Milwaukee look like a backwater town and I’m embarrassed by the comments I’m reading on the “boards” about this article. I’m a woman and I could care less that he is gay. I buy my concert tickets and music based on talent. Please focus on that in the future for other artists. I thought Adam’s response was very mature and gracious, by the way.
Thank you. I feel much better now.
(Then after I sent it, I realized his name is Piet). So sad, too bad.
