`If I had been a Queen fan back in the day, had moved on after Freddie's death, and heard that Queen was going to tour with a former American Idol contestant, I would be highly skeptical about it. I mean, imagine if Queen decided to partner with the other guy who sang WATC with them on the finale. Or with James Durbin or Lee DeWyze. I would suspect that Roger and Brian had sold out or gone a little soft in the head with age.
If the writer or the reader hasn't heard Adam sing, and hasn't seen him front Queen, they would be justified, in a way, to doubt the value and legitimacy of QAL. They might be justified in thinking it would be better to leave the past in the past, go see Queen Extravaganza, or just sit at home and listen to Queen classics. I can't fault them for their snark. Adam is so far above the norm they couldn't predict how wonderful he would be in the role of frontman.
BUT WE KNOW THE TRUTH. THE SHOW WILL BE AWESOME! No wonder we want to catch it before it is gone forever.

TRue ,but my impression is that lots more people know how great a singer Adam is now even more than they did a couple of years ago..I'm reading and hearing almost all acceptance and praise. The publicity for this tour has been beyond amazing..

The A.V. Club @theavclub Queen and Adam Lambert are going on tour, again trib.al/XvX9Hhm In what should be fantastic news for fans of American Idol singer Adam Lambert and a kind of resigned shrug for fans of Queen, Rolling Stone reports that Lambert, Brian May, and drummer Roger Taylor are going back out on tour. The trio has been working together for the last eight years, when the vagaries of fate and reality singing competitions forced them into each other’s arms. Since then, they’ve performed a number of shows and tours as Queen + Adam Lambert, with Lambert attempting to fill the late Freddie Mercury’s kickass Adidas sneaks. Tickets for the 25-stop North American tour go on sale on February 3; members of either Lambert or Queen’s fan-clubs will have early access to sales. Got a sad kick out of this snarky, snotty article. The writer obviously has never seen QAL and knows nothing about the show. Doesn't know that Brian and Roger call Adam a Gift From God. Don't know how great Adam is. The "comments" below the article say pretty much the same thing. They have no idea how great the magic is that QAL creates. These types of articles make my blood boil. Gotta go settle down. Yep. The snark seemed a bit odd. They have been touring together for years now. I'm sure he would know that Queen fans have been attending the concerts. Yes, Adam has a lot of fans but I doubt this guy would give him all the credit for putting all those butts in the seats for those sold out worldwide concerts. I guess he never read any of the reviews about this fantastic partnership either but decided to write about them cause Rolling Stone caught his eye? Oh, well. Adam is recognized worldwide as an outstanding vocalist and showman. No one is forced to attend.

I am so excited for these shows....I am tickled pink, as they say. I am also really happy to be going to see Kinky Boots in a couple of weeks...yeah.
A agree with those who are ticked by the nasty snark from that site...ignorance is just never pretty. If they had seen the show and had realistic complaints...specific...I would be fine...but that is just mean spirited for the sake of being mean...shrug.. Now...I have the kind of story we all love to hear:
I just returned from cutting the hair of a woman who really is pretty bed ridden with very serious arthritis...she stays pretty upbeat considering the constant pain she is in. Well I was telling her of our trip and she really likes Queen but had no idea they were playing again or of who Adam was...so I just happened to have my iPad, with the 2012 Kiev concert in it so I played her the concert while I cut her hair. Well....we could have a budding Glambert. She could not get over how cute and sexy and talented he was...by the end she was ready to invite him to the boudoir lol. Made the haircut fun....she will be googling him, I am sure. She was pretty jealous of our trip....she has had a really tough few years....from her husband dying with cancer a year or so ago to her dog of 13 years dying 3 weeks ago. Watching Adam in all his glory perked her up quite a bit.

For some odd reason, I cannot do a right click on this site...to reload...yet a command R on the keyboard works just fine. When I right click I simply get nothing. I am not seeing this on any other site so how can this be? Any ideas? Anyone else with the same problem? I think this is just today but maybe not...I can't remember.

Okay, I'm over myself now. Renewed my fanclub membership, booked a hotel in Nashville, signed onto LiveNation, American Express, and ticketmaster to make sure all my passwords work. Checked the balances on my credit card. Should be ready for the presale now. Eek!
