Alessandra Torresani @bambolabambina Thanks Doll! Kisses and Loves RT @adamlambert: Congrats @gocheeksgo and @bambolabambina! ---------------------------------------------- Brian May com @brianmaycom
@argeneau twitpic.com/ajowil - Great Review in Classic Rock - #Queen+AL, Hammersmith by Kate Mossman, critic and Queen devotee.--------------------------------------------------- Wow. I have been a long time Queen fan. I really thought Brian May was an evolved human. Count me out of his cool club. Curves, castrato perfection, pop voice that sounds like a built in auto-tune, young worker bee. She's making Adam out to be slickly perfect (product of the machine). Where as Brian and Roger are perfect in their unique, beautiful, nuanced imperfection, the mark of true artists. That is just bullshit. Servants of the status quo, playing it safe, lacking the courage to break down the fucking walls! Do you not see what you are doing? On that note: My favorite Bullshit lecturer. Sometimes I just think Adam got lured into a trap with Queen. They are like a venus fly trap for lead singers...Predetermined that no one can live up. But here's some sugar. Come on in. Triangulation. And all the singers end up tarnished by the experience. Instead of flourishing for who they are. Instead of truly being set free. They are instead under the harshest judgement. All that can be felt is "Not Freddie." It truly is a human dynamics trap. Adam is worth more. First, I think the review was overall very positive. Some questionable words used, but not homophobic imo. Does the reviewer see Adam as a polished product? Yes. But still the overall impression of the concert was positive. High praise considering the source. Second, the @brainmaycom twitter is run by Brian May's webmistress and not Brian. The account has tweeted links to pretty much every Queen + AL review including the ones that praised Adam to the heavens while being highly critical of Brian and Roger. To infer that Brian May is not an "evolved human" based on this tweet makes no sense to me. Queen has been doing everything but "playing it safe" for decades. As for Adam singing with Queen, the response has been positive beyond all expectations, from both fans and critics. And it was Adam's choice to take this gig. He went into it knowing the risks. |

I will only watch Idol if Adam is on the show. I only watched Idol during season 8 because I was channel surfing and caught Black or White and then I was hooked.

TY. I don't get the reason for idol despair. He says he hasn't heard yet, and that means he expects to hear one way or another at some point, which all means he is up for consideration. |

Don't know how much non-idol watching fans he can bring to the table. But they certainly exist, like me. I first saw Adam in the AMAs, and never watch idol before. I'd start watching if he'd be on it:)

Servants of the status quo, playing it safe, lacking the courage to break down the fucking walls! Do you not see what you are doing? While I did not enjoy some of the words used and the implication you have to lose your balls to sing like that, it is really a matter of POV what it all means in the end. Looks like Brian May felt it was a positive reviews. You thought it wasn't. I personally think it was a positive review of the concert, and a mostly positive review of Adam from someone who does not care for pop idol products. The one thing that balanced it out for me was the part that I always agreed with - Freddie could NOT sing live as well as Adam does, and when a Queen fan admits that, I am in my happy corner. Freddie had the stage presence and crowd control magic and the charisma, but technically I prefer listening to the QAL concerts because they are mostly vocal perfection, and I like perfection. And then there was something said during the short interview Brian and Roger gave when arriving in Russia. I think many missed it because it was covered by the Russian voice-over. In short, Brian said about Adam "Frankly, I have never heard such a voice in my life". This coming from one of Freddie's closest friends meant a lot to me... ;D My 2 cents, YMMV. |

The castrato thing is just a joke about how high he sings, I've seen it used towards Matt Bellamy, Tom Chaplin, Daniel Bedingfield, even Prince! Lighten up guys!

I'd start watching if he'd be on it:) Non idol watcher here. Randomly watching AI songs on YT just to pass my time. I found Adam on YT auditions and started finding ways to watch the show on line lol. |

What am I missing? Did Adam actually say that he was never approached by Idol? Is this recent? I really don't think he has it, but if he actually came out and said this then it would seem Idol wasn't ever in play. In any event, Idol must have picked the judges by now. I think it might be too late to worry about trying to trend something. I tend to think Adam isn't on Idol's list . After listening to the Aussie show and Adam's response for the 12th time. I think he would love it but it's not there for him.. As far as the empty calendar.. :dunno: |
