I don’t know if the conversation expanded from my mention of having a dream in which he who shall not be named had taken over Adam’s position. I hope so bcs I never once said I hoped he did but that in my dream, he did. I cannot even listen to a whole song of he who shall not be named LOL. I was not, however aware there were even words we were being pressured not to use LOL. I love QAL, wholeheartedly, always will. My message made that as clear as I know how. I’m done on this subject. One day, I will figure out what I can and cannot say, maybe.

I thought radio concerts were used to try to get radio play? Exactly. The shows in the big markets (Madison Square Garden for the iheart stations) were for acts which already had the airwave blessing. The secondary markets - like Wilkes-Barre - were very local affairs, with maybe 3 artists featured with meet and greets. Back then, the featured artists were Adam, a family teen group, and Rachel Platten. I wouldn't want to see Adam doing 20 minute sets in those situations. Looking at the set lists for the 15 radio shows Adam did in Oct-Dec 2015 for TOH, 1 show had 8 songs, 1 show had 9 songs, 1 show had 13 songs, and all the rest had 10-12 songs. Those are 50-60 minute sets! Adam was headliner for most of those shows. The 2015 Wilkes Barre show that you mention was a 1 hour 11 song set, not a 20 minute set!!! I believe the 20 minute MSG set was from the Trespassing era. TOH era radio shows were much better for Adam. I can certainly see him doing the same for this era.

See: adamlambertmtt.com/viewforum.php?f=83I do remember him doing a lot of radio shows in the Trespassing era that resulted in very little radio play. Why would they put an artist thru that grueling schedule with no intention of playing his music? Oh well what is done is done and he survived in his own way, lol. Different time and effort but hopefully there will be great results in whatever he chooses to do this time.

The demographics of those radio holiday concerts don't seem like they would be predictable about a mature singer and his base. It was almost a disconnect 5 years ago. Not sure if you mean age or vocal style or both.
I don't recall any disconnect in 2015 -- Adam was well received even by the young fans at the concerts I attended. And I attended a lot of those concerts.
The important thing for the big holiday concerts like the Jingle Ball tour is have a hit(s) on pop radio. Calvin Harris is 35 and he was a headliner at most of the JB Tour last year. Also, the Chainsmokers - Alex is 31 - were at many. It is not really about age.
Drake is the number 1 artist in the world and he is 32.
That said, big pop hits are very rare and I am not expecting that Adam will have a mega Top 40 hit. It would be nice but really is not something someone could plan on now.

See: adamlambertmtt.com/viewforum.php?f=83ITA none of the 2015 concerts were 20 minute sets.
There are two different types of radio concerts -- one are the big promotions with 12+ artists, which are a way for radio stations to make a lot of money and have a big location promotion. This would be the IRH Holiday Shows and Jingle Ball Tour. Some artists get 30 minutes, some get a couple of songs, some in between. The artists generally do not make much money for this concerts but they get a lot of airplay.
The other radio concerts are sponsored by radio stations - this would be like Adam's 2015 Wilkes-Barre, Cleveland, St. Louis, etc. concerts where he headlined. If they sell a lot of tickets, the artist can make money on this and they get a lot of free promotion.

One day, I will figure out what I can and cannot say, maybe. Thanks for sharing your dream and your well formulated thoughts as in page 2 of this thread. That's what a fan forum should be for, shouldn't it? I think that sensitive subjects are part of the deal. I did not misread or misunderstand anything you said as you made it very clear that you love Adam with Queen but that at the same time you had some worries regarding their future collaboration due to Adam's solo career. Valid thoughts in my opinion. Not everybody reads through every interview or series of tweets to know the perfect or "obvious" answer that might have already been discussed. I really do admire people who speak their mind here at the risk of getting harsh responses back, and you are one of those people. (I think there is no need to worry though. Adam is locked in and I can't imagine that Brian and Roger would even think one second about someone else. I am sure they are more than willing to coordinate with Adam's schedule, and it appears that it is totally manageable)

Javi posted this picture of lazy Pharaoh: It was great to see a picture of Pharaoh again today, and the fact that Javi posted it made me happy. Add to that Javi's IG wearing Adam's jeans jacket, and Adam liking it, and my smile got even bigger. Who wore it better? I think that's not the point, is it? Sharing clothes is a reflection of "intimacy", something that Adam was looking for, and I believe it is a good basis for a lot of things Adam related. Fingers crossed.

I don't know, the way he keeps dropping those Adam hints on social media almost feel like "marking territory" and to me comes across almost as bragging. Pretty juvenile, if you ask me. And for the intimacy part, etc. We know that Adsm has been feeling low and in that vulnerable state, it's easy to pin our "happiness" on one person, in this case a person who is very young . And that's a very risky thing to do since the crash can be even worse when that relationship ends. Real, stable happiness can only come from within. I know Adam is an adult and makes his own decisions, I'm just saying when we're in a bad place, it's easy to get burnt. I'm personally not going to get into the 'shipping match between this guy or that guy as I don't really know any of them. Just hope Adam is very careful.

He only drops little hints. You would never assume, that Adam was his boyfriend from looking at his social media profiles. Only Adam‘s hardcore fans recognize his 2-3 clothes in these. For someone, who seems to have been dating Adam for 5 months and possibly lives with him, Javi keeps a very low profile, IMO. It doesn‘t come across to me as almost bragging at all. It‘s the first or second pic of Pharaoh by Javi. Then there have 2-3 little videos, all only in his stories, that disappear within 24 hours. Plus about once a week a pic with a the sight from the balcony or so. Both Javi and Adam seem to be very happy at the moment. Adam has been glowing from the inside everytime I saw him during these past months. And Javi seems to be happy too. For me his little hints are just outbursts of his happiness. I mean, usually, when you find a new love, you are over the moon and want to show and share that. Since Adam is a celebrity, that wouldn’t be wise. So he must keep silent, which can be very hard. Of course, when you`re in a bad place, it‘s easy to get burnt. I‘m actually not sure, if Adam even was in that bad a place in November. That song was written in March/April last year. That low time, when he felt depressed might have been in 2017. Before he decided to change management, leave the label and buy a new house. Adam actually told this in his lyrics (Feel Something): I've been leaving my heart in all the wrong places Took it back way too soon when I should've been patient I built all these walls so no one could break inTruth is I miss those nights when my heart could be naked Adam knows, that he must be careful about whom he can trust. That‘s always the hardest part, when you are meeting someone new. And it‘s much harder for celebrities, of course. So Adam knows, how to play the game, he is no fool. I get from this song, that he feels, that he was too careful or impatient at times in the past. But he has to trust a possible partner to build a relationship. Otherwise he would stay a bachelor forever. I believe, Adam knows, how to handle his relationship. And that it isn‘t Javi‘s fault, that some glamberts created Adam+Javi accounts on instagram or are spreading every little hint in spades on social media. I think, we are all happy for Adam, should he have found love. Besides, I‘m watching German TV at the moment while writing. They have WWFM as their background music.
