I hope we can stop with all the speculation soon. If Queen were to do a high profile performance without Adam I would sell my tickets to the show in August! This Queen and Gaga thing really turns me off! She does not sing Queen very well in my opinion! The time she jumped on stage with Queen and Adam was like nails on a chalkboard to me! A real hot mess! I have to agree with cheriemelissa about the "nails on a chalkboard" thing. Gaga has only become better and better over the years, and now she's a true star, but that time she jumped on the stage with Queen and Adam...she looked kind of terrible...and sounded horrible. Adam dealt with it like he always does, with class and a smile. He just went with it, but I cringed. She tried taking control of the moment, and it was almost embarrassing to watch. I really don't think Brian or Roger would put on a performance without Adam, but they might do something with Adam and Gaga together on the stage, although the only person I want to see singing with Queen is Adam. I wouldn't sell my two tickets that cost me a kidney, part of my liver, and my first born to buy if they sang with Gaga ONLY during one performance, but I would not be happy about Adam being replaced even once....Just my opinion of course. I would be heartbroken but I really wouldn't sell my tickets but I would be mad at Brian and Roger.

OK, thanks for the clarification. Yes, present perfect links to the present. I learnt that some time ago in school. 😁 Javi‘s post sounded indeed very positive. He’s happy in LA. There is no hint of Adam in it, but that’s OK. We will probably see, where he’s moving. He could even move in with Adam. Or they are both moving. Or Javi moves closer to his job or... I somehow hope, that Adam will have his special someone for Valentines Day this year. We are on the "same page", dear nightowl . I have the same hopes and dreams for Adam, and I try to be super careful to not project and make assumptions a fact. We'll see. Just to make the confusion perfect: but i understood sizzlings post as if they weren't together anymore as well...lol...make it three Germans ^^ But I'm with you guys. Just because Javis moving doesn't mean he's moving out of town. He just started a job there after all. He might even be moving in with Adam (the new house). Javi only recently started following Adams friends and vice versa. And because of the age difference I feel (just my speculation) Adam would be extra careful to put this relationship out there. To me the group picture at the theater that got deleted where Adam had his hand on Javis waist (seemed quite intimate/committed already) was a slip wasn't supposed to be out there but after Adam also posted pictures from that getty art place i took it that he's ok with us knowing or even wants us to know. And this is as much speculation as i want to do atm lol

$100 million in Japan is awesome! ( The title is a little misleading.. "Biggest film in 2018".....and then...."in one territory"...Japan. Not only in Japan though. It was the #1 film in the Netherlands in 2018 as well. In fact the revenue for the movie is more than we have inhabitants. In both Euros and dollars. Funny the studio said they would be happy with half of that return. On a 56 million budget. Unprecedented success really. 830 million internationally quite amazing really. Sure their were deficiencies in writing and dialogue. And timeline issues. But it was so compelling. I really think it’s strong aspects outweighed it’s flaws. A sequel prob a good idea. To fix these flaws. As for Oscar from what I’ve read looks like they are the favourite for Best Editing. Ramis Favourite for Best Actor. He deserves it. Funny I watched BR right after SIB. Which I loved but I found it cynical and lacking depth. Mostly due to it being the 4th adaption. BR I fell in love with the film. It felt like an event. I only felt like that watching Star Wars. I’m not sure it we’ll win Best Picture. But being nominated is such an honour. And Live Aid was Incredible. The Accuracy was mind blowing. Tbh if they win Best Picture. Maybe for the ending alone. When Freddie sang Mama. And they cut to his Indian mother. Most touching moment I’ve seen in film 2018. I thought this was cool Live Aid side by side. Has 14 million views youtu.be/-XqPBEODZ4s

I was thinking, Adam and Dr.B said no to the Oscars, but the Grammys are next week? I just hope that if Queen and Gaga are involved that Adam will be included as well. I love Gaga, but she wasn't the greatest fit with them ☺ To be fair that was a one off years ago. And they barley rehearsed it. So probably not a great point of reference. And yeah I think it is absurd to not want Adam to do a show as big as the HT Show at the SB. Because you don't like sports. People watch the SB every year. Even ppl who dislike sports, its a huge event. And the HT show brings in 90+ million viewers a year. Not to mention international audience. Big exposure for Adam, that is the main focus. Yeh, I guess you're right about them not having time to rehearse, I dont hold it against them 🙃 I for one would love it if they get to do a big gig with as many other artists that they see fit, as long as Adam is included I wouldnt mind him sharing the stage and I have a feeling he wouldnt either😉. Only time will tell 🙂 🤞

I have come to a conclusion in the past few hours. I think if Queen or QAL was going to appear in any capacity on any of these major awards show, we would know it by now. I don't think they will. I hope they don't. And the thought of Brian and Roger performing with Gaga and NOT Adam kind of turns my stomach. I really don't think that will happen, though. I just want the BR support group (Brian, Roger and some others associated with the movie) to be there in the audience at the Oscars cheering for Rami and the movie. That's it. As far as the Grammys go, I don't think Queen will be doing anything with them this year.

As far as the Grammys go, I don't think Queen will be doing anything with them this year. Some good points. After seeing Adam give interviews with Queen and being the spokesperson for the band when Brian and Roger were not available, I would be very sad if he were left out of a big performing event with them. He has been the one traveling the world for 6 years as the frontman to great reviews and glory before the movie was even out there. He even promoted the movie in interviews. Gaga is getting all the recognition she needs for her own efforts/song/movie. I just can't imagine that if Queen got the chance to perform they would turn the frontman duties over to someone else. Everything does not need to involve Gaga. It is okay to give someone else a minute to shine. Especially if that someone is a major reason why the band has been, and will continue, touring the world to the delight of many old and new fans.

A fan posted that photo of Brian, Roger, L G and Adam on that day Adam posted it, before Adam I mean, I suppose Adam saw it and that’s why he posted it. I don’t think there’s more to that. I would love to see QAL performing at the Grammy’s, but don’t see it coming. 😊
