I work in a museum, and one of my co-workers, whom I've known for a long time, is a guy who immigrated from Russia and is now an art handler. He used to be a professional musician and composer back in Georgia, but like so many immigrants, when he came here he found there are no jobs for his profession. But he volunterily formed a museum choir, which he trains, conducts and accompanies on keys, and he does an amazing job with that.
Today he happened to mention to me that he flew with his son on a weekend to Barcelona to see the sites and attend a football match. I told him I did the same a couple of years back, only I flew to London and combined it with a show, not a football match. I told him I went to see Queen, not so much for Queen, but for their current frontman. I didn't have to say anything further; He knew right away who I was talking about, and said he's an amazing singer with a crazy range. He said the things he's done during AI were unbelievable. I asked whether he's heard him sing WWTLF and he said yes, of course, and it's out of this world. So apparently he's watched Youtubes.
But the thing which meant the most to me was not what he said, but how he said it: he talked about Adam as if it's abvious that he's one of the best singers out there, as if it's a well known fact, everybody knows it, and the discussion is redundant.
I absolutely love moments like that. Slowly but surely more and more people are realizing what a great singer Adam is. And to hear somebody else sing his praise like it is obvious is the best thing ever. Happy for you that this happened, and thank you for bringing it here.
For me, I had one of these moments when I overheard my (normally sceptic and often really critical) husband telling somebody else that Adam was amazing and a great singer and that especially his interpretation of the songs was fantastic. This was after the QAL Brussels show. I think my husband would never tell this to me (and he would get my 'told you so' stare if he did, so I get that). But it was so good to hear that Adam had convinced even him.
