Last thing I wanna say I definitely hope Queen & AL can perform @ the Oscars-I understand the rule only the songs nominated for a movie but are there any other popular songs from the movies besides Gaga’s. Their music is the entire Bohemian Rhapsody Movie so I hope they are invited & can go, especially if the movie is nominated for Best Picture then I would hope they would have Queen & Adam perform, everyone will talk about it the next day & it’s Good publicity for the Oscars & the network it’s on.
My last wish is for Adam & Queen to be honored for all their amazing shows they’ve put on overs the years. They sooo deserve a Grammy-Maybe they can get a Lifetime Achievement award for past & present so Queen & Adam, as well, can all get a Grammy. Also I want them to be able to perform @ The Grammies as well. Performing @ The Grammies Would be the ultimate honor & from that point on the World would know what Adam Lambert is doing & the Ultimate Rock Star he truly is.

Also I wanted to note Queen songs were happening in a lot of commercials too during the GG’s. L’Oréal was using “Don’t Stop me Now”. The real one w/ Freddie singing.
At one point they went to commercial for Silk (almond milk??? I think It is) that was playing “Don’t stop me now” but a different guy singing then they switched right to a L’Oréal commercial & that commercial was using Don’t Stop me Now” but Freddie’s voice it was so weird, cause there was like no break in the song but a new commercial & new voice so really really odd. Then my daughter caught they were using “We are the Champions” song for ad for The show “America’s Got Talent”. So Queen is sooo popular right now.
Someone had noted a few posts back that Peleton was using “Crazy Little Thing called Love” a couple months b4 X-mas.
Everyone has Queen fever right now!!!

I actually watched skimmed through most of the Golden Globes. Sooo thrilled for Rami & Bri & Roger, I cried for both. Loved Rami’s speech soo much!! Kinda wished Brian would have talked a bit about the making of the movie & how he’s ____ Old & this is his very 1st Golden Globe & how thrilled Freddie would be with all this right now. He could have said that the world works in mysterious ways & now @ ____ age (forget how old Brian is) Queen is doing exactly what Freddie would have wanted—we’re touring to sold out shows all across America & the world w/ an amazing new lead singer who brings Freddie’s spirit alive onstage & we now finally after working on our movie for a decade finally found an actor that fit & exuded the exact spirit of Freddie & all his being, he also made Freddie come alive in this film. We are so thankful for all the fans we still have & love us & support us for honoring Freddie while still doing what we love to do. I know Freddie is just smiling from ear to ear with all this & he’d be so proud-thank you to everyone for this we’re incredibly honored that you loved the film as much as we did and thanks for still loving Queen; Brian & I are truly blessed to have all your love & support. Thank you.

I have actually heard most of the nominated Dorian vocal performances which is way more than I'm normally aware of for these awards. I liked the rendition of Simply the Best on Schitt's Creek..was interesting, but not award worthy IDT......and Home on Pose was very moving and definitely could win IMO. Pose could win many awards. I thought This is Me from last year's Oscars was a little bit shouty, but it was a big number. The only one I don't remember is Mystery Love. Of course I loved Believe more than any of them....lol. Since Believe is fresh and new maybe it'll be on the minds of the voters. We'll see. Sorry wasn’t trying to post this. I’m in my cell & not working same as my computer. I’m trying to figure out do we know for sure Adam is not performing w/ Queen @ GG’s tonight. Why would GG’s not use this huge opportunity of all the hype w/ Adam for KCH performance & Queen’s movie to not have them perform-seems kinda stupid to not take advantage of all that publicity & have them perform. Could it be a surprise performance do u think-cause that will get people talking about it more the next day. Reallly really hoping they perform. Adam is in LA-where are the GG’s held? Is Universal close?

So I just want to say I am a huge huge fan of Adam. From his very 1st audition on Idol I knew he was amazing & have loved him since. Went to Idol tour for him & seen him live many many times & Queen many many times multiple states. I’ve met him live one on one conversation just me & him in a parking lot & he gave me a hug signed my Trespassing album spent time w/ me & said hi to my daughter took the time to stick his head in the backseat of my car to look into the eyes of my 4 year old & said Hi Ali. He twirled my older daughter in Atlantic City during his tour and sang to her while singing Shady. During Radio Gaga I was on the side/front of thrush & he passed me by 1 person, and came back to me to stand up on a ledge in front of me & sang & stuck his microphone in my phone/face & said sing it sing it. He is sooo incredible & I feel connected to him it’s really odd. I truly feel connected to him ...like I sometimes wonder if we are distantly related in some way because it’s almost like this odd force that pulls us together, like when you know someone. There have just been so many odd situations where somehow we have connected. My grandmother was Jewish, she passed away, her family lived in Poland, she was 1st generation US citizen. I just wonder sometimes if his mother’s mother could be a long long distant cousin to my grandmother or something, or maybe even a cousin to my grandmother. I know I sound cray cray but it just seems odd. How many US Queen concerts were there & how many times during Radio Gaga did he stop & go up on a little ledge thing in front of someone & sing while going around shaking ppls hands. I think it was only 1 other time. People pay to have met him through meet & greets, I’ve never done that. I hope you don’t think I’m crazy it’s just been so many odd things. By the way, when he twirled my daughter, we just went down for 1.5 songs to the front from coaxing from someone sitting next to us in the middle section. My daughter wanted to do it but was nervous, we crouched down in the front & stood up more when he came by us & he sang to her held out his hand for,her to grab it & he twirled her forward & back-now granted she was wearing a Queen T-shirt but it still was so random. Anyway I just wonder if we are very distantly related somehow. Do I sound crazy. The day he went up in front of me and looked me in the face and said sing sing, I was just wearing a normal shirt. I had only gone to 1 other Queen concert that summer (NY) the one right b4 (PA) but I was in a similar location so it’s possible he remembered me maybe. Anyway it is just odd we’ve had soo many run-ins. He’s personally in a way met or touched or come within 1 foot of my husband & both of my daughters, my entire family, on 3 different occasions, without paying to meet him. How many people can say that -kinda odd right. Believe me I’m beyond thrilled, it’s so beyond cool, but just makes me wonder if there is some other pull or reason this happened so many times. What do u guys think. I probably just sound crazy to everybody. Of course you don't sound crazy! These things happened to you and your family and no one will never know the rhyme or reason behind them. Perhaps something about you appealed to Adam when looking for the welcoming and familiar from the stage...perhaps he recognised something warm in you in the brief moment in the car park...perhaps your young family dynamic took him back to his family, when he needed to be reminded of them in a lonely moment, Who can say? But enjoy the memories... Sorry somehow I never saw your response before until now, I really appreciate your response. You got me thinking, it's possible I remind him of his mother when she was around my age, not as beautiful as she is now. Yes, he loves kids & he is so great with kids, it's sooo awesome. I love that about him too. I wonder if he remembered me though, sometimes though you meet someone have a casual peer acquantance & you see them later & know you know them in some way but can't make the connection. It's possible he might have felt that kind of feeling during the concert I wonder, like I vaguely seemed familiar but he couldn't place me maybe that was why he did that.

Looks like he got comp'd the GAGA show & amazing seats & place to stay probably for performing at ParkMGM, I would bet they give them free tics to shows for performing there. The venue gets a lot of $$ & publicity for that & Queen & AL had their choices I'm sure. I'm thrilled for him & thrilled he & Katy Perry got to hang together & he's seen in her crowd a little.
I hope this is the year for Adam, he deserves another #1 hit for sure & a lot of radio play, his time is due. It just bugs me on the radio they'll play any of the top names even if the song is horrible & that just pisses me off. Adam has put out some great songs & the radio won't really play them the way they play other artists.
Would be so amazing if they will have Queen & AL perform a Queen medley of songs @ the Academy Awards & possibly even the Grammys, which would be the most incredible thing ever!! They need to strike while the iron is hot-now's the time to get them on these shows to show the US just how incredible they still are & how incredible Queen's catalog truly is and just how unbelievable of a singer Adam is.

Last thing I'm dying to know or understand!! Does anyone know how he got this gig to sing Cher's song for the Kennedy Center Honors. Not that he doesn't deserve it I'm just wondering. I know Cindi is a big fan of his, do you think Cindi told Cher to watch his few seconds of "Believe" he did on Idol & then Cindi was the one to get her to use Adam to sing the song to Honor her. Did Cher pick him, did the show pick him, did his label & management fight to get him in, it's killing me I really want to know how that worked out.
I'm sooo thankful it did though either way...I'm soooo glad he was able to show the world he's safe, he's amazing, and the most incredibly gifted artist w/ this creative way of being able to twist & change a song & the way he can interpret a song is just unmatched. Besides the incredible range & voice. There is just no live singer today like him. Brian says that a lot too, the way he interprets a song and the way he puts emphasis on certain words to change the entire meaning, it's incredible & such a gift. Just listen to his national anthem, it just means so much more when he sings it, you really feel what the song is about, I don't get that when others sing it, because they put emphasis on the wrong words & it just doesn't feel the same. That is a huge part of why WWTLF is so gut wrenching because the drama he brings by emphasizing certain words & his use of the pause is incredible too, very few singers can be comfortable w/ such long pauses, I've really never seen anyone else do that so well.

3 Million views in 3 days, it's remarkable-truly is!!! The BEST press he's ever gotten-he's deserved it for a long long time, but this song & bringing Cher to tears just won him sooooo many accolades & made him legit!
I do think the Bohemian Rhapsody movie helped give Queen more kudos & top of mind & respect for people in the US. Many not so die hard Queen friends of mine commented that they forgot &/or didn't realize how many amazing songs Queen had!! It's got them street cred big time!! Those friends also commented how addicted now they were to Queen and how they couldn't wait to download their songs & keep singing them.. This led to people googling Queen probably & seeing Adam & Queen together & then the tour Sold Out & now this has given Adam a lot of credibility as well-People are waking up to the whole world of Adam Lambert they probably weren't aware of.
I wonder if his label will work with him to get that version of "Believe" released on Itunes. I would imagine Cher loves all the publicity this is getting her as well-she's getting ready to go on tour. I "Believe" this publicity helps both of them a lot!!!

Soooo proud of him-He deserves this though-it was just unbelievable!!! I've never seen him perform a song like that ever, I'd say WWTLF is up there very close but I think this was just incredible. How different the song is. So glad Cher got emotional & had tears because I do think that title made many people curious who might not have listened to it otherwise. Now the ultimate cherry on top would be the Oscars inviting Queen & Adam to perform a medley of Queen songs to honor the Bohemian Rhapsody movie. The accolades he'd get from that, would secure his place out there w/ everyone & would more than likely guarantee him radio time when his album comes out!!!!
