I think Shoshanna is acutely aware of what she's saying at all times. I think she gets so many tweets throughout each day that she picks and chooses those that will help her get across whatever her message du jour may be. This isn't the first time she's gotten a tweet misconstruing or "jumping the gun" on her delivery of Adam news; with all that's been going on media-wise with Adam, I'd be willing to bet that she's been getting a lot of speculation about his career--both accurate and otherwise--that she's feeling a need to put a little damper on some possibly over-enthusiastic fan reaction. Both Shoshanna and Adam have intimated that big things are coming, but fans can take encouraging statements and escalate anticipation to the skies. Shoshanna might be feeling the need to keep fan minds and hearts grounded on Earth! I think you are spot on about Shoshanna knowing exactly what she is posting on Twitter at all time. It all has a purpose. The tweets people send to her a maddening! I do not know how she deals with it. And not just Adam fans -- she has a ton of other fans tweeting her. ** But this made me smile "fans can take encouraging statements and escalate anticipation to the skies." With Adam fans that is just a bit of an understatement. I saw one fan actually tweet that Queen was not big enough for Adam to tour with. It was not a joke but real! |

I think if Shoshanna doesn't really consider fan interaction part of her job, then she shouldn't interact with fans. If she does see it as part of her job, she should figure out how she wants to that part, do it that way, and not be "thinking aloud" and figuring it out as she goes. That's just my humble opinion. I think Shosh does just fine. It's the fans that get "confused" by what she says. I assume if she isn't generally doing what Adam expects he wouldn't be paying her, but to me tweeting "maybe I just shouldn't say anything at all" is LAUGHABLY huffy and not too professional. It just makes me think, "yeah, maybe you shouldn't, I don't know, what does your job description say?" Of course, fans get excited and "confused." I think that should be expected and IF interacting with them is part of her job (I have no idea if it is), then she should handle that without the drama. She's paid. |

I was talking with someone on Twitter who was arguing Adam aint big enough to tourwith Queen, and that hes only big in the states, and has no international fanbase, which is kinda an contradiction in term. I guess extending a tour to Asia kinda throws that theory out the door haha, if anything Adam is huge internationally in cntries like Japan, China, NZ, Finland, Australia etc. Most likely where Qal tour well extend to some of those countries if extended. Nz for instance has had 8 radio singles; Fye, Wwfm, Iihy, Fever, Sure Fire Winners, Btikm, Ncoe, Trespassing, Wwfm, Fye, Iihy, and Fever all went platnum. Some people just choose to have selective state of mind, Freddies a legend so ppl just choose to presume no one can come close, its really just ignorance. Ppl see him as a showtunes singer, or a theatre kid idol runner up, or a pop singer like katy perry. Its only when ppl give him an oppurtunity they realize while no Freddie, vocally hes on par, an. Hes a pretty good Adam Lambert. Most of the haters are trolls who 90 % of the time are not real Queen fans, and just live off an audience, and betty sue types feeding him. Trying to convince ppl oh heres Adam Lambert singing wwtlf suck on that haha, theyre idiots they dont deserve to listin to vocal genius any way.

I wonder if QAL might try to shake up some arrangements this time around. B&R have been known to experiment with arrangements...but usually for one offs not for tours...although we did get the different ending Somebody To Love (that started with QE). But I would love to see them shake up an old familiar like WWRY like how Roger did it on tour in the late 90s... One of my favorite versions...even if Roger isn't too sure on the words   The Official Queen channel just started posting this concert from the Cyberbarn in 1998! It's remastered and unlike the VHS release it got, this seems to be the whole gig without the interspersed (and music-cutting) interviews! I'm pretty happy with this YT upload by the site :D |

OT but this silly quiz damn good! And nailed me! Which Classic Rock Band Are You? You got: Led Zeppelin You’re the dual-axe wielding, mythological wizards of rock. You’re unquestionably legendary, but still often misunderstood. People will either love you or hate you. Ramble on, you multi-talented visionary you!

rpeura - I think you are a shining star on QOL. You are an example of how to act as a fan of Adam in a hostile state You keep your sense of humor and you can even laugh with the trolling a bit, but you stay supportive and it wins over everyone. Even that Adam haters tend to like you  Like you I tend to try to be extra diplomatic here because I know where I am. I don't hide that generally I'm here for QAL and while I like Adam, I was not a big fan of Trespassing. But I know I don't need to say that all the time to throw it in people's faces. And when some question my talking Queen on here instead of Adam, I simply smile and understand that not everyone here likes Queen either. Lucky for me it is far more Queen friendly here than it is Adam friendly there LOL.. Hostile state is so perfect for QOL. If people can not handle the trolling and the baiting.. they better stay away from it.Though sadly I've seen a few fans that don't understand that they're in a foreign territory and some shouldn't even posted there. Just because it has Adam's name on the thread it's not an Adam centric site or Adam fan site. Like Q3 said they really gives bad names to Adam fans. |
