Sauli has the same magic that Adam does. Hard to describe - you just know it is there. He is an absolutely beautiful specimen. That skin gets me every time. I always wanted to glow like that.

Is this a friend of Adam? I watched the Miley video and had no idea what the song was about because of watching all the sex and nude visuals. When I watched Eli's version, I actually heard the words and appreciated the song. I posted an article yesterday about Katy wanting to tone down her sexuality and focus on the music. This is a perfect example of a song getting lost because of selling sex. Yeah, I know it's a hit for Miley. (With the latest photos of her in VERY sexual poses, I fear a meltdown may be on the way for this young thing.) Again, it makes me glad Adam was older when he found fame. Adam and Eli Lieb were together at the Lovelace premiere. You can see both of them at the beginning of this video: www.youtube.com/watch?v=xoN4vhJHj1EThanks. The name seems familiar. |

Cute guy.. good looking with a very good voice. I love his voice. I usually don't like Adam due with anybody, but would love to hear him sing due with Eli Lieb. .. ohh.. Adam and Eli can be a very good looking couple too..  Is this a friend of Adam? I watched the Miley video and had no idea what the song was about because of watching all the sex and nude visuals.

OT but I'm really curious - is it just me or did I miss all the talk about it, I like Eli's version, though the song sounds so... not copy cat, but really resembles 'Set fire to the rain' by Adele, the only song I loved by her. I went through my sound library and listened to it - really really very close (though it might be my ears, just returned from my kid's flute lesson ![]() ) |

‘It just works with him’: Adam Lambert has put to rest questions about fronting Queen
by Something Else!
Fans of Adam Lambert’s recent work with Queen have to be thrilled with the response from its two continuing original members, as both Roger Taylor and Brian May seem ever more impressed with his command of their legendary catalog — and the former Idol finalist’s ability to expand upon it.
“I think even since we did a short tour in Europe last year with Adam,” Taylor enthuses in this iHeart clip, “even since then, he’s just come on. He’s just amazing. He’s such a great interpreter of our songs. He has a great stage presence, and we really enjoy working with him.”
The multi-generational trio recent made a splash at iHeart’s Las Vegas music fest, playing a September date that marked their first-ever live appearance in the U.S. Lambert has been sitting in with Queen, off and on, since 2009.
If recent comments from May and Taylor are any indication, this is a collaboration that’s just beginning.
Lambert was stepping into some pretty big shoes, of course. Freddie Mercury, the band’s late original singer, is widely considered one of rock’s consummate frontmen. Still, it’s clear that something has clicked with Lambert.
“He really is a wonderful foil for us; he’s a gift from heaven, really,” May adds. “It wouldn’t happen with a billion other people, but it just works with him. It feels comfortable and nice, but challenging also — because he puts different interpretations on the songs and it gets us to play a little differently. It’s alive.”

I don't think you missed any discussion if you have read today's thread. Adam tweeted this video late last night. |

After the the iHeart concert, I whined about reviews using the stock phrase "He's no Freddie Mercury . . " followed by something like "he did a good job." It's such a back-handed compliment--to me. This particular author acknowledged Freddie's great reputation without taking anything away from Adam. Much better writing in my opinion. The other way seems a bit lazy and predictable. |

This particular author acknowledged Freddie's great reputation without taking anything away from Adam. Much better writing in my opinion. The other way seems a bit lazy and predictable. It is impossible to think or talk about Queen without Freddie looming large in the background. For many, Freddie WAS the face, voice and spirit of Queen. Add to that he got sick when he was arguably at his prime creatively and in terms of performance, and you have an icon and legacy that takes on mythic proportions. No one in the media or in the rock world would EVER dare to say that anyone singing with Queen was equal to Freddie, much less even hint at the possibility that in some ways, he was better. In the comparative safety of an Adam forum I will risk saying that in terms of vocal technique, control and range, Adam exceeds Freddie. (And yes, you don't have to tell me that Freddie was not a trained singer while Adam has a dozen years of lessons at least.) In conventional terms of classic beauty, Adam is better looking than Freddie. Even on this forum, there will be argument about these statements because, for many, Freddie is incomparable. You just don't go there! So, I figure that the "he's no Freddie Mercury" but "he is damned good" is the closest authors can get to enthusiastic praise of Adam as long as Freddie's ghost is still very much in the theater. |
