Interesting comment on the Queen professional video of WWTLF. StephenDHenderson5 hours ago every time I hear him sing a queen song his feet get slightly bigger in freddie's shoes Here's one that quoted Brian, and I was not familiar with it. geenagreen0532 hours ago Song is probably more for the victims' families and friends - who wants to live forever when love must die Brian May - 1986"The hero of [Highlander] discovers in his first battle that he can't die, and unfortunately he finds that he falls in love with this girl, and everybody tells him that it's a bad idea if they stay together because eventually she must grow old and die, and he won't. But nevertheless he does, he stays with her and she does grow old and she dies in his arms and she says, 'I never understood why you stayed with me,' and he says, 'I see you just the same as I saw you when I first met you', and she's old and she's dying. I was very moved by that and I wrote this song called 'Who Wants To Live Forever (When Love Must Die)'." "This is a very different era, of course. The song was written – I've documented this very well, I know – but what happened was we went to see the Highlander rushes with Russell Mulcahy, and that was our first experience in any way with Highlander – I hadn't read the script; I don't think any of us had – and it was very moving. [The film is] about a man who becomes conscious that he's immortal, and he's reluctant to accept that fact, but he's told that if he falls in love he's in big trouble, but of course he falls in love anyway. And the girl that he falls in love with eventually grows old and dies in his arms, and that kind of opened up a floodgate in me – I was dealing with a lot of tragedies in my life: the death of my father, the death of my marriage, and so forth. I could immediately hear this 'Who Wants To Live Forever' in my head, and it was almost complete in the car going home – I remember singing it to my manager as he drove me home, and he was pretty surprised. He said, 'Where did that come from?' and I said, 'I don't even know.'" And another that I've read before but enjoyed seeing again: pinkmilkyway milk2 hours ago Brian May, 2012: "At rehearsals, I was sometimes overwhelmed with emotion. When I first heard Adam perform Who Wants To Live Forever, I was literally stunned, just was not internally ready for such an amazing interpretation of the song."

If I want to complain about outfit is that why Adam doesn't wear that sexy Zorro outfit anymore. arrggg... ITA -- I sure hope "sexy Zorro" returns. *** Totally OT but it is insanity in Cleveland right now because the Cleveland Cavaliers just won their third game in the finals -- to tie the NBA finals 3-3. May not seem like a big deal but Cleveland has not had a championship winning team in 52 years - since 1964 NFL title (football, pre-Super Bowl), 1948 World Series title (baseball), NBA Finals Appearances (2007, 2015, 2016, no championship). It is not quite the US record -- San Diego has been waiting for 53 years but they only have two major sports franchises. It is so bad here that Cleveland has a paragraph on the Wikipedia page for Sports Droughts.

I find both of these statements by Brian so moving -- and connected. WWTLF always seems to me like it was written for Adam to sing. His performance of it has an emotional effect that I have never experienced before. And with Brian on guitar, it is like a perfect duet. I really think the IOW WWTLF is one that will be remembered for a very long time.

Who cares about his outfit when he can sing like that? LOL. I don't think anyone has mentioned on the video comments. They just comment on how great he sang it. No one is saying the show is relevant now. But it was very relevant for years world-wide, had 30 million viewers at one point and Adam was probably the most memorable contestant ever. Adam is the MOST successful male from the show (4 other males were mentioned) and probably the most world-wide recognized idol. Other successful non-winners were mentioned and Adam was not. It is just one article. IT doesen't mean anything. I Am sorry but I Think your making too much of this. No one is going to even notice. IT is just my observtion that the outfit is awful. Never said it takes away from his singing. I think you're making too much of his outfit. And you're the only one who thinks it's awful. Not ONE mention of it on the video. But there were a few people here that it bothered that Adam was not mentioned. We're all allowed our opinions without having to be bashed about it.

It is so good. Brian is so right -- it is special. Very reminesent of his IHR performance of WWTLF. Where everything just came together, and hit a perfect storm. He has sung this song alot of times. But this to me was his best imo. The emotives and the power of the vocals were just phenominal.

Time Out Shanghai @timeoutshanghai 3h Queen with Adam Lambert set for #Shanghai? bit.ly/1UmccafQueen with Adam Lambert set for Shanghai? Rumour has it that the revived glam rockers are coming our way By Jake Newby Posted: Thursday June 16 2016 2:29PM Weibo is rife with speculation that Queen and Adam Lambert are set to play Shanghai's Mercedes-Benz Arena in September 2016. The cause of all the excitement is a screenshot from the Ministry of Culture's website purporting to show that such a concert has been approved. There's been no official announcement just yet, but word is that the Shanghai show will be Monday 26 September, which would make sense given that the group are in the region around that time and have a Hong Kong date for the following Wednesday. Further weight to the rumour is added by Lambert having been here a number of times before and enjoying a strong following in China, where he's appeared on a number of TV talent shows in the past. twitter.com/TimeOutShanghai/status/743624110366810113

Adam followed Kid Cudi. Kid Cudi followed Adam! "Dance songs" Just sayin! Could be or could be related to Orlando. Kid Cudi was one of very few hip hop artists that spoke out in defense and support of the LGBT community. He was quite vocal.
