Not sure why WATC is a disappointment. Prob due to different expectations. But Watc is a big song. Adam always Nails it. And it really shows off his voice. I have been a Queen fan for many, many years, and WATC is just not one of my favorite songs although I admit to loving to sing along to it, it is a great way to end a concert, and very well suited to any sporting event - figure skating to football. And it goes well with confetti.
As a Queen song to dance to? Would not be my pick.
WATC was my absolute favorite song as a kid. When I was about 7-9 I wrote that song into every of these „My School-Friends“ books as my favorite song. Since I didn’t know English back then, my mum had to help. She still can’t listen to that song, because I played it too often, I think. Or maybe she never really liked it. I grew out of it, but when I’m at a concert and Adam sings WATC, I‘m a kid again .

But WATC is for Strictly which very much could be the close of the show song. If rumors are correct and he's singing Believe for the Honors program then that doesn't sound like a close of the show for it. Yes, that is what I meant -- WATC would be a good way to close Strictly -- but it appears that they don't do that with the guest performer.
*** [switching to the possibility of Adam performing tomorrow too.]
The Believe rumor is based on the fact that it is Cher's biggest hit, and Adam performed it on Idol. I don't think anyone has any idea beyond that. There was a tweet that said someone had a source and he would be doing Believe. But again,nothing confirmed. When I look at past years I'm not seeing that any of them announce the performers ahead of time.

I would of preferred WWTLF. But looks like a cool dance arrangement. So could be a different interpretation. Of course Adam nails anything.

WATC is a good song to sing along, when there is someone or some track leading the way, like in a stadium or at a concert. It is not easy to do, and a bit deceiving, if you need to find your own way, because you are delivering the lead vocals yourself. Just try to sing to this karaoke track and you will see what I mean. www.youtube.com/watch?v=KI7od5afDnoAnd I concur with the above regarding dancing to this track. Hard to imagine. Also means that Adam had less leeway with regards to rhythmic or vocal improvisation. He had to pretty much stick to the laid out format.

I'm not disappointed at all. It's a great song and it really shows off his voice. And I'm sure the dance routine will fit in well. Can't wait to see it! I was gone all day tonight to kind of late to the party. So, there's chance that Adam may perform at the Kennedy Honors tribute to Cher? But maybe not on the televised part? Kinda confused. Sure would be great if is happened. I'll bet anything Cher is a Glambert.

Pretty sure Adam can deliver the song for the dancers with no problem. What is difficult for some to sing is hardly difficult for him. He adapts and interprets well. Heck, he did a great job with Kris Allen in the way, lol. Sure impressed Brian. He was almost jumping out of his skin.

Not unmanageable, just a bit more demanding rhythmically and vocally, than people presume. That's all.

We do have a radio DJ saying Adam will be in town and linked to the Honors show and another "source" saying he will be there and singing Believe. We'll find out tomorrow for both, probably. We may not find out on the Honors until the TV show before xmas.

I would LOVE to see Adam participate in the Cher tribute in some way. It wouldn't even surprise me to learn that Cher requested him. But that's just me and my daydreams. LOL First things first. It will be exciting to see Adam belt out WATC. Nobody does it like he does!
