alidol @glam_alidol 50 min they used @adamlambert WWFM and Trespassing as background music on Voice of China tonight This is great news! I was thinking about Chidol too, how far have they proceeded with the contest, as there were some plans for Adam to perform in the finale (in August?). I guess he's still going if they invite him. Exposure to an enormous tv audience would be awesome and might further his chances to get lucrative gigs there. ETA alidol @glam_alidol 3 min someone just sang mad world of @adamlambert version on voice of china tonight  |

The AIRumors tweets were just that, rumours. The account was suspicious to begin with... no followers and only 3 tweets. Now the account is suspended already...

And they used the official Idol logo which I assume is a big NO-NO. I doubt that a Dallas radio station has legitimate information. I think they're just repeating THR and other gossip sites. I'm assuming Ryan himself didn't say it LOL. |

This photo makes me curious ... what's the story behind this mysterious photo? maybe someone knows it. I'm curious creature ..  It looks like a sad story..  and I think that is Tommy... Could be when Tommy's father passed away almost three years ago. |

Ok so the whole Idol thing is just a big old "meh" for me. I think Adam is very focused and if given opporunity would focus on Idol. He respects the break the show gave him and so would probably be happy (for what he as said) to be involved if asked. I haven't however seen anything that goes so far as to suggest he "wants" it - which suggests longing for something rather than being willing to take an opportunity. Personally I've always thought Idol post Adam (and Simon and Paula) has become a giant vortex of doom that seems to swallow everything and anyone who goes near it, so I am just as happy for it to feed on the letter people (JLo Will i am)... I think Adam has expressed very clearly that he indeed wants to be an Idol judge: I'd be thrilled, where to I sign? More recently he said he still felt the same, namely he would be thrilled. Personally, I am trying to not get too invested in him being on Idol. Last year I was, and it was a big disappointment. With the rumors starting to come, it is beginning to feel a little like last year all over again. One thing is certain, Idol could not get a better judge, knowledgeable, articulate and most important, contestant centered. From my travels around the net, it seems like a lot of people feel this way. If he isn't chosen, Glee will make that a lot easier to accept and move on. |

Don't know if you saw this and it is originally in German (I think) so translation is only through google but it appears that the QAL in Vegas is the only confirmed gig. It sounds as if whatever the London gig is has come to nothing unforunately: Brian Interview |

Right! Adam has expressed several times in several ways that he would love to be a judge!  |

The Google translation in Talon's paragraph above is in essence correct. So, I guess there is no second Queen concert in London after all, only the one.
The majority of the interview is about Brian's work with Kerry, but one other paragraph is worth bringing here because it describes Brian's frame of mind with regards to calling it Queen+.
German original - Quote:
'Apropos Queen: Werden sie je wieder live auftreten?
Brian May: Es ist natürlich umstritten, ob wir je
wieder Queen sein können. Ist das denn noch Queen, ohne Freddie und
John? Möglicherweise nicht! Aber es ist etwas das direkt mit Queen
verbunden ist, denn wir sind ja noch die selben. Also können wir an und
ab dieses “Ding”, was auch immer es ist, machen. Ich spüre aber nicht
das Verlangen es noch sehr oft zu machen. Denn das Leben muss
weitergeben und mir gefällt was ich hier mit Kerry gerade mache. Das ist
sehr spontan, während es bei Queen immer diese riesigen Erwartungen
gibt und die Vergangenheit so schwer auf meinen Schultern liegt. Hier
kann ich Queen Songs spielen, oder eben auch nicht. Da gibt’s keine
Druck. Doch wenn am Plakat “Queen” steht, dann müssen die Songs auch
nach Queen klingen.'
Translation:
Re Queen: Will you ever perform live again?
BM: It is of course a matter of debate, whether we can ever be Queen again. Is it still Queen, without Freddie and John? Maybe, not! But it is something that is directly connected with Queen, because we two are still the same, of course. Therefore, we can every once in a while, do such a 'thing', whatever it may be. But I don't feel the desire to do it very often. Because life has to go on and right now I like what I am doing with Kerry. That is very spontaneous, whereas with Queen there are always these huge expectations and the past weighs so heavily on my shoulders. Here (with Kerry), I can play Queen songs or I don't. There is no pressure involved. But if the billboard says 'Queen', then the songs are supposed to sound like Queen.
End of translation.
As with all these texts, I wish we could get the English original, because in this back and forth translation invariably some detail will be unintentionally changed, but I have tried to represent at least the German that I am working from, as correctly as possible.

Here I am doing the very thing I am trying not to do, obsessing on the Idol judgeship. What I am holding out as a hopeful sign is that he has a spot on Glee. At first I thought that was a negative because he would be spread too thin, now I think that it is a positive because of the cross promotion both of these very important FOX shows would benefit from a double placement.

and I think that is Tommy...
