Is there a You Tube version of the earlier XFactor promo video where the judges have the cards and are answering questions? (have seen the screen shots) The one on the XFactor site never loaded right for me. I am still on the previous thread, so if it has been posted already, I will come to it. But just wondered if there is one out there. Thanks in advance! I am also hoping for that promo to show up on YT! I couldn't load it too (tried two different devices) !

LoL! I for one don't really care who accepts Adam with Queen. He is the frontman that they chose and he is doing a fantastic job. They would not be touring the world like this without him as they have said. His reviews have been great for the most part and the publicity he receives is top notch. Look at what they wrote as advertisement in Singapore.
"Adam Lambert’s debut album For Your Entertainment earned him a Grammy Award nomination for Best Male Pop Vocal Performance, and a worldwide smash hit with ‘Whataya Want From Me’. His second album, Trespassing, debuted at No. 1 on the Billboard charts. In 2013, Adam appeared as a guest star on the hit TV series, GLEE and as as a featured vocalist on Avicii’s album ’True’. Adam released his highly anticipated third album, ‘The Original High’ last summer, which entered the worldwide chart at number 3, and took his overall worldwide sales to over 3 million units." Add to that his solo world tours, endorsements and tv shows.
They often even list his many solo accomplishments and career achievements along with the announcements for QAL so it carries a lot more weight than some upset people who think he replaced Freddie. He did not. He joined Brian and Roger on this (in demand) adventure at their invitation. These people know what Adam brings to the table but some are just too angry to admit it. His success boils their blood and it is irrational. He is not viewed as some nobody by anyone who matters. They have been together since 2011 and it works, so they should get over themselves if they don't like it because Queen, Adam and QAL fans have. If Queen wanted Marc he would be the Queen frontman instead of Adam. They didn't. He isn't. Period.

A few weeks ago, someone from work that I don't really know well, in her early 20s, listened to Fat Bottomed Girls on the radio and saw that I was singing along. She told me she's a Queen fan, but didn't know if she should go the show, because she didn't know Adam Lambert. I assured her that he's the best singer in the world, and told her I've already seen the show in London and it's amazing. She's made up her mind and bought a ticket. I saw her a couple of days after the concert and asked her how she liked it. She was very enthusiastic, but said it started off slow, and then took off. I said that my opinion is, they started off with a few deep cuts to cater to the die hard fans right away, then moved on to the hits. My point is, Brian and Roger have to take into account a lot of different factors when thinking about the setlist. (although personally, I'm very happy I got to know In The Lap Of The Gods Revisited. I hadn't known it before, and now I think it's one of their most beautiful songs).

While it has been said by a few people I just wanted to agree that there is little vitriol towards Marc because Marc isn't touring with B&R. ANYONE touring with B&R would get their fair share of vitriol. Paul Rodgers got a fair share of vitriol as well. He may have gotten less than Adam for 2 reasons. A. Paul is COMPLETELY a different singer. A non-campy, low blues and soul voice. So there was far less comparison. and B. He had a semi-legendary career of his own with 2 largely successful bands (Free & Bad Company) so it was more the meeting of contemporaries. While Adam is seen as someone with no real pedigree of success on his own- and like it or not - he's associated with American Idol which is considered the anti-artist type show. Marc is someone who sounds a lot like Freddie at times and is just singing in a tribute band that DOES play deep cuts as well.... Me? I liked Paul for the reasons I've stated. I loved Marc at QEX which can be a 2 hour show. I saw them a few times when they were in the US. I wish they'd come back now that they are doing the whole A Night At The Opera album. THAT would be awesome. In fact I wish QAL would do that but Brian is far too....comfortable (if I'm honest and I don't mean this negatively because he's far more than earned the right to do what he wants - too lazy) to work out the arrangements and practice on something like that...He's just happy slinging the old lady on and playing all the hits medleys they've been doing at this point. I've also liked Adam for what he brings that Paul couldn't. Hopefuly we'll get a leak or single release of the QAL recordings :D THAT is something I'd really want to hear even more than concert footage Sometimes I feel that Adam doesn't get the credit he deserves for what he brings to this whole QAL thing! First of all, I am so glad he is comfortable now with the whole thing. I've seen Paul too and don't think he brought anything special to the band. Made Queen just another band with a singer out front. Adams pedigree may not be long but it's brilliant! The anti-artist statement because of American Idol has nothing to do with talent. It's just the way he was able to break through. The snobs out there that dismiss an artist because of that are using it as an excuse to not accept him. It's almost like Brian and Roger did something to them personally when they decided to tour again. We are all enjoying the rebirth of Queen and the Brilliance of Adam that made it happen. I think we all know there would be no tour without Adam. Both B & R have said as much. So maybe a little more appreciation and less criticism is in order! No disrespect to you Talon. You are the biggest fan of Queen I know, next to me of course and yes I am devoted to Adam!!!! Without him we'd have nothing to talk about!

It is my understanding that his collaboration with Queen was on a smaller scale. Did they ever tour arenas or stadiums? I simply don't know.
