I think we're going to HAVE to come to terms with the fact that the above is not going to go away any time soon, and just celebrate Adam being a part of the Queen history. Brian and Roger have bent over backwards to praise Adam, and make their feelings as clear as possible, but IMO there will never be a time when Freddie won't be mentioned in conjunction with Queen. It's just not going to happen, especially since the shows are set up to include Freddie. The name Queen is always going to include Freddie, not Adam. If it bothered Adam enough, he does have the choice to not sing with them...and he's been with them for years now.
Personally, I just enjoy watching the videos...love their collaboration, and love the attention it has brought to Adam as an outstanding singer and performer. I hope my comment did not imply that Adam needed to stop fronting Queen, lol. Seems a stretch from thinking the speech is getting old and the media is obsessed with it. I doubt that he would want to leave Queen but for the speech. There are plenty of reminders of Freddie in the show and rightfully so. But clearly Adam likes it or feels he needs it to be accepted. So if it makes some feel better about Adam being there that is okay. But after all these years of it, it still feels a bit morbid and a downer, imo. Honestly, I love Adam singing with Queen, but it will always be Freddies's band (with Brian and Roger). Queen is Freddie's legacy. Clearly Brian and Roger adore Adam, and they would not be doing this without him, but they called it "Queen WITH Adam Lambert" for a reason. Personally, I love Adam's "speech," and I think it is a very necessary part of things. And, Adam gets it, and I don't think he is bothered by it at all. He is a confident guy who understands his role and his place in the history of this band. Freddie will always be considered the lead singer of Queen, which is how it should be.

The fringe looks more lethal than the cape though. Wonder what those fringes are made out of. I believe that they are long strings of tiny metallic threaded beads. They bounce and reflect light like metal when he moves and that jacket and silver pants are my absolute favorite costume. Eber looks good in it as well. Also thanks SophieB, ladyM:), and sizzling63 for your kind words.

I love you LindaG23! My favourite part was about how loud the applause was for our guy. I always listen to the end of every concert closely to gauge the audience response and I too, am so pleased when it's appropriately loud.

Can't wait for my QAL concert to roll into town. It can't come fast enough, lol. So looking forward to seeing Brian and Roger rocking out with Adam again. Seeing them rock the Oscars, and all the wonderful videos posted of the Rhapsody tour, make it even more exciting this time. All the recognition and accolades they receive for their collaboration with Adam are well deserved. Brian and Roger found their GFG and fans are all benefiting from and enjoying it. I'll just have to tune out the occasional detractors and naysayers from now on. HA!

LindaG23, your recap was wonderful! I think it's cool to see a show from a different perspective. Really lets you see what's going on. And cheriemelissa, I will be at the Chicago show, too, singing my butt off. Can't wait!

For those of you who use Twitter, they now have changed everybody over to New Twitter. New format and new features. I'm seeing lots of unhappy folks, especially those who use Twitter a lot by posting links, pics, articles, etc. Lots of folks are very unhappy with the new format. Scorpiobert has found a way to revert back to Old Twitter w/o causing any problems on your computer. This is the link: www.reddit.com/r/Twitter/comments/cglb6f/this_chrome_extension_brings_back_the_old_design/
