Regarding Glee.. can I just say I fell hard for Elliot and I miss him too? He was so , what's the word, endearing. Either Adam did an absolutely amazing job at acting ( yes!) or did we just see a glimpse of the real Adam ( maybe?)
Anyway, I watched this weeks episode (I think it's the first total transitional one to NYC? ).Bear in mind I am not a regular watcher so this is just my take from this week, but it seemed so much more mature than episodes of the past and it made me wonder if Adam's job was to take Glee from the kitchy high school setting to the new one in NYC.
Even the topics were real.. leaving higher education because you have landed your dream role already ( sound familiar?) gay bashing and standing up for what is right and getting hurt in the process ( also familiar )and mixed race couples.
And I will always be on team Elliot was autobiographical, perhaps even to the relationship advice Elliot gave Blaine ~ " Maybe you should just stop trying ", not to open that topic please, just stating my opinion.
Anyway, he did a great job. And why didn't they make it clear why he was leaving the show?
I actually think they did in the song "Rockstar" . The lyrics seem to parallel his journey and leave an explanation as to where he was going . " I just want to be a rockstar. I was born to be a rockstar. "
And there he goes ...

I put the odds of this being played in North America at 0.00000000001%. But because it was not a hit and was mocked, not because they never performed it or Roger does not like it (which he pretty clearly does not). Setting aside some of the lyrics, the composition is really beautiful and I think that is what Brian likes (just guessing). And some parts of the lyrics are quite nice. Too bad that it would be "sacrilegious" to rewrite the lyrics. I don't necessarily disagree with that. BUT as for your reasoning, sometimes Brian has a tendency to do things against the grain to say "Screw you! It deserves to be a hit and not mocked!" etc. Sometimes...As my 3% indicates, I don't think this will be one of those times  For the most part I think the lyrics are fine. They are obviously WAY too idealistic and sugary sweet for some, but I think that it's amazing that a man in Freddie's state at the time to be writing lyrics like that says a lot... OH and one more thing regarding that album as a whole - It was supposed to be a return to Queen's roots and it was...just not the way everyone thinks. It wasn't a return to Queen's hard rock roots (although part of it was) and yes there was a ton of synths, etc. BUT what it WAS a return to was a return to how they made an album. The four of them together working on tracks as a team rather than individuals bringing songs in and the others maybe appearing on it. It got the band gelling again and while the album is not a fan favorite, I do think it was a steeping stone to one of the band's greatest albums, Innuendo. I think Adam would sing this quite well and a video of all the "miracles" could go over well live...but it won't happen... |

English-speaking radio DJs play Queen songs then mention Adam / Q+AL coming to Summer Sonic:
