I hope you all are wrong, over the top and flamboyancy it is not what I am hoping for the future. I'm in complete agreement with you, enchanted. Even if flamboyance is more congruent with his heart of hearts? As I suspect it is, but do not claim to know conclusively...Should he continue to wear man-drag [his term] when in 'public'?

I think Adam is long past the point of needing to make a statement. At least I hope he is. I am hoping for some good music and performances and great high profile opportunities to showcase his talent. Queen was flamboyant but in the rock mode. Killer Queen and one or two others were camp but most of the others were very rock and roll to me. I like the camp but only in small doses. Some of his most outstanding and most talked about performances were the serious and emotional ones. I'm not sure that what he is doing in his personal life is a signal for what he will do with his career. Can't wait to see what he has cooking tho and where he wants to take his career. Whatever he does, I want to see him on my tv and hearing him on my radio stations would be wonderful as well. Even with this crazy political climate right now I am still hoping for the best.

I hear you lurleen and understand what you are saying...I just think, personally, that you may be making a subjective point but it misinterprets what I was saying...or meant to say. You are assuming that Adam being flamboyant is "making a statement" and I am saying that the uber masculinity and lack of flamboyance is more likely to be Adam "making a statement" than the gender fluidity he exhibited for years before fame, and has been showing again just lately. Saying he should not be flamboyant is tantamount to saying he still needs to "make a statement"...a masculine one.... He may well need to make that statement to much of the radio listening public, but he seems to be saying a small private NO to that need, in my estimation. YMMV as usual, and I have been wrong lots of times...but rather hope not right now.

twitter.com/Metal_Talk/status/817018112486862848MetalTalk.net @metal_Talk QUEEN GUITARIST BRIAN MAY WANTS TO BRING ROCK TO A NEW GENERATION metaltalk.net/news_seventeen/brian_may_serious_music_new_generation.php … @queenwillrock @oiqfc @queenfanclub_ Queen are still playing of course, with Adam Lambert now occupying the frontman's position but Freddie is very much "part of the show" but as Brian points out, the band do not "rely" on him too much. "We have Adam, who's an incredible performer in his own right but you know Freddie is part of the creation of all that material and we like to have him appearing now and then to sprinkle some fairy dust on it all."

And a pink suit with flowers doesn't make him flamboyant at least that I could tell. I see him wearing costumes and playing dress up and certainly the TOH tour was full of costumes. Do the spikes of QAL equal flamboyant? Or was it the feathers and heels? But then maybe flamboyant isn't the right term. Perhaps we mean effeminate? Save

But I will get out of this conversation cause I don't want anyone attributing things to me that I did not mean or say.

I hope you all are wrong, over the top and flamboyancy it is not what I am hoping for the future. I'm in complete agreement with you, enchanted. Me too. He has seemed much more "authentic" the last couple years than when he was over-the-top flamboyant (the heavy makeup, etc.) It always seemed that he was playing a part - almost trying too hard to be a way that he wasn't anymore. In the last couple of years, he has seemed so much more real and relaxed in his own skin. I think at one time he even mentioned "hiding" behind the heavy makeup and flamboyant garb. He doesn't need to do that anymore. He played around with it during the QAL and TOH tours, but then always came back to what I saw as more real and him.
