So Shosh is heading back to NY while Adam goes to Maldives for a few days. I wonder if Adam will go to NY after Maldives and if there is something happening in NY. I think the QAL announcement should be soon. I expect they are waiting for Adam's solo PR frenzy to abate first. A well times QAL announcement could actually help HD sales & streaming. That just seems odd. I have heard some guessing that the Maldives may be his private event and then maybe staying a few days to rest up-but who knows. The instas and tweets they put up just leave a guessing game going on. I guess it makes it exciting. It didn't make sense to me that he would travel all the way to the Maldives from NZ with yet another time zone/date change just for a rest. We have no way of knowing if Adam is with her or not. Too bad we didn't get to see any of the promo from NZ, but we sure have been treated to a lot over the past few weeks. Love that the album is doing so good and the label is supporting him so well. He sure deserves it. This is far out, but I was thinking about his Antinous tatoo and the story he told about Antinous myth about the sacrifice, and it hit me, Adam was the sacrifice 14 years ago, so there could be this shift in diversity and acceptance. I know, my brain goes to strange places. We are assuming Adam was in NZ. But if he was, he didn’t do any promo while here. So far we’ve had one radio interview (the Edge) and one TV (The Project NZ) both of which were done from Aussie. We’re still waiting on one other radio interview that was also recorded when he was in Oz. I saw someone speculating that he was here to film an episode as a judge on Ru Paul’s Drag Race Down Under which is apparently filming at the moment. But we actually don’t know anything! 😔 I can tell you us kiwis were so frustrated knowing he was likely here but knowing nothing about exactly where and why!!!! 🤷♀️😩

Finished watching ATDAG this morning and wow! Adam as the devil is just brilliant!!! The best character in the entire series. 😈 And listen out for him voicing another character in the final episode! it’s a minor character, but it sounds more like him, in fact he sounds similar to Emperor Maximus! 😂

Hi everyone, just thought people might be interested to hear from the winner of the FS video chat…. No it wasn’t me, 😓 but it was a very lucky friend of mine from NZ… She is happy for me to share her comment on the content of their chat… (the tribe she mentions is out NZ fan group, “NZ Glitter Tibe” 😁 )
We chatted for about 10.5mins. Nothing we don't already know about really. Musical is coming along but he's still not ready to tell us more yet. I said hello from you all, he asked how many in the tribe now, which I wasn't sure but said there's quite few. We talked about the QAL tour & how much he loves NZ. I said we all love him ❤️ and want him to come back! I asked about the Kilt skirt / trousers...he ordered it from Scotland so it's authentic, he said its very hot to wear etc. Told him we love it 😍 He said New York was great, he was excited to catch up with old friends & go clubbing etc.
I think she’s still in shock a bit! Lol

Ty for bringing this summary! It turns out I’ve missed the Reuters one and I can’t watch the NZ Project (“not available in your area”). If anyone has a working in the US link plz share! This should work...

Hi, Just a long-shot request.... does anyone have a spare Velvet signed CD that they’re willing to sell at a fair price? I ordered one seconds after they became available to buy online, and paid via PayPal. However Empire informs me that my order never went through and was not processed. They are now sold out, and they’re “sorry for the inconvenience.” 🤯 😭 To say I’m disappointed is an understatement, so I thought I’d try another way. eBay has some but they are way beyond my budget! Thought it was worth asking! 🤞🏻Thanks.

Cleopatra, thanks for replying. I know how you feel. I too have bought my share of fan "stuff." It helps Adam and it makes me feel like a supportive fan. But even a fan who buys nothing is important, too. We do what we can. And you're right: It's NOT A JOB. It's ultimately a gesture from the heart, whether we spend money or not. It's been a long-time puzzlement as to why Adam's fan base does not grow, most importantly in the US. OZ and NZ are very strong fanbases. And the UK and some European countries, like Finland, are strong. Adam gets great respect in the music industry, and when he does some high-profile performance like the Kennedy Honors or the Oscars, he gets a lot of buzz. His music is as good as anybody. Maybe it's just not cool to like him. I dunno. He gets plenty of props for his voice from just about everyone. Maybe it's his image or persona that doesn't appeal to a wide audience. Good thing he has his core fans who are here for the long haul. NZ has had zero promo for Velvet 😞 his album topped the iTunes chart for a couple of days after release, but has since disappeared from even the pop chart, however FYE seems to always be there, currently #151 on pop. I dunno why we’ve had no promo at all this time, guess were too small a market to bother. Makes me sad as this album is soooo good!

He’s watching an Elton John concert on NZ TV tonight! And Elton John is performing at a vineyard in the Hawkes Bay region of NZ at the same time! 😁

Yay! I over-complicated things. I thought about the opening nodes of Bohemian Rhapsody too, but they did not seem right. There is no notation of the song anywhere I could find that fits those notes... But if the Royal Mint says it does, I will have to live with it. I also read somewhere that Queen approved the design, so I'm assuming they know what those opening notes are ... de-lurking to comment on this cos I find it really interesting! I had a listen to the opening harmonies of “Is the the real life?” And yes, the chord does indeed include a D,F &G but also a Bflat which would be considered the ‘melody’ note that one would sing along to, but that note is not highlighted on the coin....so idk... on another matter, less than 2 weeks to my first of 2 QAL shows in NZ....I’m going to the first two....excitement is building for sure!!!!
