Again, I'm in awe of the body control Adam exhibits in these Queen performances. Not only is he controlling his prodigious voice in terms of tone,volume and emphasis ( by this I mean his ability to inhabit the music with his whole being) his total internal vision of his entire body allows him to control his body into poses dancers would envy that are completely in sync with the music.
I also think the reviews are more enthusiastic than ever before in part because Adam provides virtuoso performances on a level both Dr.Bri and Roger achieve, and the fact that Adam is not just a stand in, but truly part of Queen now.
Also, now many more people are opening themselves as up to the sheer joy of Adam's performance, realizing that he is "giving it all" on stage.
There is also the fact that audiences for the most part can relax because "he's got this" and they are giving themselves over to the performance, not looking for Adam's flaws or that he is an upstart American trying to cash in on Queen's reputation. I think that took some time, and the obvious total acceptance and fun he brings to the royal pair has won over most skeptics.
Eta Queens instead of Sudan's - I hate autocorrect.

Just recently was on another one of my long-ass road trips. Always, mid-way through I’ll put on an Adam disc as I know all the words and singing along kills a good hour. I travel with a few dogs and I have one in particular who seems to love Adam - she cocks her head on the higher notes and, I swear, gets all dreamy eyed when he uses his softer melodic voice. ANYWAYS.....the choice this road trip was FYE - hadn’t really listened to it for awhile and in any case not straight through. Flippin’ magnificent!
Broken Open - I forgot all about that one. So beautiful.
Sleepwalker always a favorite. Wouldn’t that be a great song to be Queenified.
So many favorites - that disc in particular has always reminded me a little of Sgt Peppers Lonely Hearts Club Band from a production standpoint. So much going on behind the vocals — varied and layered. Seems thoughtfully placed.
It was good to hear it again and made be long to hear Adam’s new music. What will he introduce to us this time around?!

And, just one other thought that seems to be a recurring revelation (or relief) for me as an Adam fan. He seems to really know who he is - I felt he lost himself for awhile. It was his Zodiac performances, his Glamanation tour, his first NYE performance - all the “out of the box” creative and more daring performances that I really LOVED him for - not the usual formula, that’s for sure. I recall that first interview after the AMA’s where he reacted surprised that parts of his performance had been edited for the West Coast viewing public and made the double standard comment. THAT’s the Adam that I felt had disappeared for awhile. He toned down, wanted main stream success, or whatever. AND, I don’t really blame him for that. He’s smart. BUT - I missed the free-spirit Adam - he wasn’t really showing that to his public much.
It just seems to me that side of Adam is coming back into play. He seems to have a renewed courage to show that side of him once again. Obviously, the Queen experience has given him the freedom to bring that to the stage. And, I hope that creatively we’ll continue to see that daring and free-form spirit that just lets him “be”.

I'm just bringing her tweets over as is. Sometimes Jadelle, who is also Russian, will post them.....but she only does it randomly. Don't know how or if you can translate tweets. I don't even read the text just click on the IG link to see who Adam is liking. I don't follow or know of anybody else who monitors Adam's likes as they happen. If you don't grab them almost immediately....they disappear from his timeline. I think generally she is just saying "Adam liked 5 IGs", etc.
