LOL, I'm with you, lurleene. I enjoy the build-up and promos and announcements almost as much as I do the actual event. It's Adam no matter how you look at it. I hope Adam can pick up some momentum before, during and after Vegas. Star Struck in the UK and the Cover Bands show in the US will get him some media attention again. And down the road a bit, we'll get that animated Hansel and Gretel series and also whatever Lino says he's working on with Adam. Adam says his next album will be songs from that musical he's working on. That's a long process. We'll see how long it takes. Would love to see him sing new music again and get it out there. QAL is still on for 2022. PLEASE! Do we assume Oliver is on the boat with Adam? Lots of smiling going on. We do assume that, because of Oliver's reflection in Adam's glasses. Here's a tweet Bamafan posted in yesterday's thread: Escorpio Flag of United Kingdom Flag of United States@ScorpioBert
I also see an Oliver reflection, sunning on the Deck lol

Hi, Katycake, your video is blocked, so I'm not sure what you posted. Oh! It's another X Factor Aus performance - Aya singing End of Time by Beyonce. I wonder why they blocked it, it's not like that season is yet to be aired where you are...

Thanks, Katycake! Halo is the only Beyonce song I'm familiar with, and that's because Isaiah sang it. I'll have to go listen to Ave Maria. Sure, but I think there's another Beyonce song you know: www.youtube.com/watch?v=zGty2xNvfTY

Live shows are a bit of a pipe dream here in oz right now. Le Sigh. Seeing it is quiet on the Adam front a little something from the latest season of The Voice starting here in Oz (I live in hope of Adam judging for it one day US UK Oz don't care)... First night of blind auditions delivered a lovely effortless performance - I'd love to hear Adam tackle this song and suspect it would have many of the same flourishes. One for cassie ... www.youtube.com/watch?v=mzfxbdNBeoAOoooh, that was lovely. I'm not usually one that enjoys a ton of flourishes a la mariah carey, but she did a beautiful job. I like that husky quality to her voice. I'm glad she picked Guy...he always comes across as such a genuine guy (just from watching him with Adam). Do you know what the song is? It doesn't sound familiar to me. Apparently it's a Beyonce song open.spotify.com/track/1j9HwUMSkRUeVFRWlHcFsy?si=89477ece75d14d48

at long last….. for @papermagazine i wrote about @adamlambert and the most personally formative awards show performance of all time Before Lil Nas X, There Was Adam Lambert In 2009, America just wasn't ready to see queer kink on primetime TV. papermag.com Before Lil Nas X, There Was Adam Lambert by James Factora 6h I've moved far past the need for my queer identity to be validated by mainstream representation, but I'd also be lying if I said that I didn't tear up a little when I watched Lil Nas X's "MONTERO (Call Me By Your Name)" music video for the first time. Part of the reason why the "representation" conversation wears me out so thoroughly is because people, for the most part, are only concerned with "good" representation — good meaning family-friendly, likable, and certainly never ever sexual. Never mind the fact that sometimes, stereotypes are based in truth, and queer people in real life are often not very "family friendly," depending on what your definition of family is. But here was the biggest male pop star in the world, defying the puritanical sensibilities that seem to characterize much of his extremely online queer Gen Z peers — bringing an "all-male leather orgy," as Jazmine Hughes put it, to his Saturday Night Live debut, passionately making out with a backup dancer while clad in a gold miniskirt at the BET Awards. Here was Lil Nas X, breaking the "love is love" era taboo that has mandated the sanitization of public queerness. In the "MONTERO" video, he elevates and defiles the aesthetics of antiquity that white right-wingers favor so heavily, taking the place of Eve in the garden, seduced by none other than a reptilian version of himself. And of course, there's the penultimate moment in which he gyrates down a pole to hell to literally dance with the devil and take his place. Even when hearing the song's radio-friendly version, it never fails to tickle me that censors can force the rapper to swap "champagne" for "cocaine" and say that he wants to "put a smile" on his lover's mouth while he's riding. No amount of censorship can hide that this is a deeply horny, gay song. It's taken a while to get here. Especially when you recall the very different reception that Adam Lambert received for his overt displays of raunchy, queer sexuality at the American Music Awards in 2009. Whereas Lil Nas X's career has remained relatively unscathed by his performances, Lambert was nearly ruined. In a recent interview with Billboard, Lambert discussed how his performance of his song, "For Your Entertainment," immediately led to future television performances of his getting cancelled, which led to him having to "toe the line a bit" for the sake of preserving his career. Blessedly, he's never apologized. more: www.papermag.com/lil-nas-x-adam-lambert-2653881330.html?rebelltitem=12#rebelltitem12
