I guess I am the dissenting voice. Really didn't like the Shallow performance. If I hadn't had the closed captioning on I would not have understood most of the lyrics. I read that Brad taught himself to sing...... maybe, but not well. Not a pleasing voice. Gaga was fine on the lighter parts, but when she belted, it sounded like yelling to me. Strained and strident. Oh, well. Glad others enjoyed it. I totally agree with you.......I was not impressed at all with this performance or the movie either.

Hi Everyone... It's MsZue's daughter... GoodKarm... I was with my mom at the Winstar Casino New Years Eve show in 2014... and though I have never logged in here since joining... I know my mom stays fairly active with y'all! I am happy to say I just got my two tics in the mail today... for the Queen Adam Toronto show this July 28, 2019. Mom showed me how to log into here to Adamtopia to make this post... in fact, she is on skype with me right now! I live in Ottawa. I am wondering if anyone you know is traveling from Ottawa to Toronto (and back)... for this show... I would love to ride share. Also; If in case the driver is staying overnight before returning home... I'm good with that too. I am trying to convince my mom to fly here from SaltSpring Island, to join me for this show. ... ha! fun fact, she will have already seen it, as her tics are for the Vancouver show. EEEEEEE! Mszue is a real die hard, and always knows the inside tid bits on the latest greatest! Much love for this.
I also posted this note on the meetup thread for Toronto.
Welcome........I don’t post a lot but love this site and check it daily. I live in Toronto so I can’t help you out with a ride but I will definitely be at the concert. If you needed a place to stay over night let me. know.

Perhaps they’ll put another song in the middle of BoRhap as they did in the London NYE show - Killer Queen then back to BoRhap I still think it will be a WWRY, BoRhap and WATC. Adam is not always clear on the details he gives us........but it will definitely be one incredible performance. Some Queen fans suggesting, Mark Martel, Rami and the other actors from the movie performing along side or instead of Adam kind of got my back up.

A while ago I was talking to an artist friend who went thru a very dark time recently. I had no idea at the time! It was scary to think we could have lost her. Depression can be a serious condition, and often we don't know what even our close friends and family are dealing with. Part of the condition is to think that others don't want to be bothered with them, or that they aren't worth their loved ones' time and attention. So, it is scary to think of Adam struggling, even tho' it seems inconceivable that such a talented, successful, kind, outgoing, gregarious guy could possibly have reasons to be in a dark place. It is my observation that there is a higher percentage of artists struggling with depression and bipolar than in the general population. Artistic temperament? The huge pressures to succeed? The constant requirement to prove oneself repeatedly? Every performance or lack of one judged by thousands? Is the brain chemistry of passionate artists different from us "normal" folk? I don't have answers. But my heart ached to hear of my friend's silent struggle, and of Adam's. I have great respect for him clawing his way out and up, and for sharing the struggle with us as he did. It is a reminder to me to check in with friends and family more frequently and with more loving acceptance. Excellent point.......we should all check in with family and loved ones who are vulnerable and going through a difficult time.

Wow......Adam’s letter and his honesty is beautiful. We can all understand his depression but I’m so encouraged that he sought support and professional help. It sounds like he has a new label, a new song and a new album ready to go but more importantly he is in a much better place emotionally. I’m so happy for him ........now kill that performance at the Oscars Adam!

I think that if Adam takes someone to the Oscars....... it will be his mom. What do people think......will he be able to sit in the audience after the performance? I can’t wait for this epic event!

Knowing that lots of dumb decisions are often made by network and TV bosses, I hope that the Oscar peeps realizes what a coup it is for them to have QAL perform on the show. It's really creating a buzz! And then, of course, is the Gift From God, who has made it possible for Queen to be the magnificent band they are today after so many decades. I'm being a bit catty, but it would be nice if the NFL guys happen to notice this and think, "Damn, why didn't we.....? I was just thinking along the same lines.......but then there is always next year!

If Queen and Adam are the opening the Oscars......it will be epic! No reason they can’t do a medley of BR, WWRY, WATC, and TSMGO! Best way to replace the opening monologue. I’m sure Adam will wear the most incredible Tux on the Red Carpet and then some amazing leather outfit to perform in. I feel like a proud parent.....so happy for Adam but also for Brian and Roger.
