ya...that is interesting...I guess depends on the "star" level of the singer...and if Gaga is Mary then she'd probably use up the budget...is John Legend a really big name? Will he be a big pay person too? Didn't they say that John Legend is also an executive producer? What does that mean? Does he have a say in casting then? An executive producer has more to do with the financial management of the production. I don’t think they have much say in the casting. Also I don’t think Gaga is available for JCS. I think she’s working on A STAR IS BORN during the same time period.

I always find it weird, when people here discuss, how much money Adam makes. It‘s just an observation from my „outlandish“ point of view (no criticism!). In Germany we don’t speak about how much money we earn or have. I can only speculate, even when it comes to closer relatives. There aren’t lists like that from Forbes (other than these from the US, which get posted here). Sometimes some yellow press speculate about some VIP‘s money, but they can only speculate. So I don’t really think about these kind of things. The same goes for houses. I was shocked, when I found out , that there are (I guess only in LA) tours, that show the houses of VIPs. Or that you can find almost everybody’s addresses and former addresses (+other information like birthdays, telephone numbers or workplaces) in the internet. I mean, with Facebook many people give these information away for free, but really?😳 When I think of Adam’s future house, I don’t think he really has a chance to keep it a secret. He can just choose a house, where nobody can get without his knowledge. Or leave the country.(I don’t think he is going to do that.) So, just my two cents to the „dancing money cats“. It’s weird to me, but nevertheless I‘m happy, Adam can live a happy life! ...and then there is a little app called Google Earth...just plug in an address and take a look... Yep. Great and bad at the same time. Actually I‘m glad that goo gle hasn’t an up to date 3D Version and Street view of Germany ( all you see is the one from 2011 of a few big cities). There were too many complaints by citizens concerning privacy rights. Google had to pixel out about 250 000 houses. That’s why they don’t update it. My house didn’t exist back then. You can see it from the air, but nothing more.👍

I was recently re-watching some pre-QAL 2011 and 2012 interviews , those promo for Tresspassing, and one reporter said that she always thought Queen would be Adam's backup plan if his solo career would not bring in the desired revenue. I'm glad that the paycheck form QAL gives him way more creative freedom than he would otherwise had I think. Didn't Adam say in one interview that he invested some of his money to form his own company to do his TOH tour or smth the way he wanted to do it? The way he talked about his new music this year is the same way as he did while promo TOH. I do think that the earnings from QAL is in part what allows Adam complete creative freedom. I don't really care how much he earns as long as that is enough to allow him to be free and to do what his heart and soul wants in his solo career I still remember the conversations I overheard as a teen, between some of the artists from my country discussing how hard it was for them to create the same type of music over and over again, in the same genre because they had no choice and the label would drop them otherwise. Yet they had family and relatives to support so they could not quit their job. Some of them had to sing in a language they didn't want to in order to sell the album. They said they felt like it was destroying their soul to do that cause it wasn't art anymore but a job which one had to do. Adam is very lucky indeed and this is what I remember every time I get annoyed when he is not invited to perform on a big award show like Grammy's, VMA etc. It doesn't matter really as long as he can create what he wants to create Non fan too always say Adam is doing QAL because his solo career did not take off. But we all know that is not true. His solo career is doing fine. Yes it could be bigger but he has a Grammy nom, gold/platinum albums/singles/award wins in the US and other countries. He has made millions on his solo headlining tours. So I take Adam at his word when he says Queen is a side by side career that he is happy and lucky to have. Adam was with a major label so they would put up the money up front for his tour. He is not like an indie artist who would be responsible for the bill himself out of pocket for a tour. QAL does allow him more freedom, but again he is with a major label so complete creative freedom is not always possible or even wanted as long as they are in the picture. They will still have some say in when and what you release. The label puts up tour money and Warner has labels all over the world, which helps Adam with his international success and exposure. But for sure, Queen money is great and gives him some choices. There are not many artists who have two music careers, that make millions on both sides for an artist, so Adam is managing things very well. I hope it continues as long as Adam and Queen want to continue. But I also hope his solo career continues to move forward.

I think she’s working on A STAR IS BORN during the same time period. Gaga’s potential conflict is that she is on tour thru February 23rd in Europe . A Sar Is Born is already filmed. It was scheduled for release in the fall and was moved to May 2018.

I’m assuming she’ll be doing PR for the film when it comes out. As far as her touring in Feb. Adam’s touring till March 6. John Legend is touring till March 23. If it’s true Adam has this it will be interesting to see how they work rehearsals for a April 1st filming.
