Speaking of New Zealand...  Last night, I watched an interview with Jared Leto (I'm a huge fan of him as an actor, but I hear he is pretty successful as a musician as well) and Lorde (who is also a very delightful cookie from NZ). linkAdam link #1, the irrelevant one: Lorde has the same platform shoes as Adam. She wore them in both videos I checked out, this interview, but also for her 2014. Grammy performance of 'Team'. linkAdam link #2, the relevant one: Jared said: "I've never had sudden success... I've always had a long, slow build, and I'm really grateful for that, for myself, because I didn't start out great like she did. I had to learn how to get better." I'm not trying to compare any of their roads to success to Adam's, because his is a bit different, but I do strongly feel that Adam always learns how to get better. I remember thinking in the days right before QAL started that I'd never go to the Chicago show, but to the later ones, possibly the last one? Because I knew he would keep getting better. And he did. Just like Jared appreciates and is grateful that he had to get better, one of the things I appreciate the most and am immensely grateful for regarding Adam - that he is so hard-working and willing to keep getting better. This whole journey with him is one amazing and delightfully intense buildup. And when he tweeted that the third time is going to be the charm, I didn't feel it as any kind of slight towards FYE and Trespassing, but I believe what he meant was exactly that: that the third album is going to be better, in a sense that it is going to be a reflection of his personal and professional development, improvement and betterment. Plus, we concur: FYE was great, Trespassing was greater, and A3 is going to be the greatest:) Cannot wait:) PS/// Adam link #3, the least relevant one: Lorde is a pseudonym. I just realized that I have weird issues with that. Honesty is very important to me. I cannot but ask, for example, if one is singing about love, are those their true feelings? Did that really happen to Peter Hernandez, or is it just Bruno Mars, a stage persona, singing about what he thinks the audience wants to hear. I resent the very idea that someone is trying to sell me something fake, especially human emotion. I know that so many artists use fake names, there's probably nothing wrong with that anywhere outside my head. Both Bruno and Lorde are insanely talented. I just needed to point out that Adam doesn't (use a fake name), thank lord(e). He is very honest and I am very thankful for that:) |

I just needed to point out that Adam doesn't (use a fake name), thank lord(e). He is very honest and I am very thankful for that:) Well Techniquely Adam had a stage persona through his makeup. I think some artists use stage names, because they have an identity crisis, or it is just an artistic and creative thing. I well admit I Thought Lorde was her real name haha. I like Lorde though well I'm a Kiwi I have too haha, she kinda came out of no where, and unlike most of the pop acts her age, her music has an edge, and kind has a rock edge that I appreciate. Not that I want Adam to copy Lorde, but they do have similarities both really different and unique artists. Adams achillies heel has always been he can do anything, all genres. He prob is going to have to pick a lane and stick to it for A3. 2009 was a very long time ago, alot of his fanbase then has erradicated. Then again he has increased and expanded certain areas of his fanbase. Funny thing is Adam has always had a very diverse fanbase, many demographics from 1-100, male/female, young/old. So this Queen tour has really done wonders for the Adam Lambert brand, in terms of visiblity and exposure. You could argue he hasen't had this amount of visibility since his run on Idol. He's no 27 anymore, but he is also 32. I think the past five years has chronologically prepared him for the "real" part of his career. Trespassing and FYE were great albums, the term you have to walk before you run, you have to fail before you succeed (not that the first two were a failure in any stretch) terms come to mind. This tour reminds me not that I was alive then haha, but Elvis rise to fame in the late seventies, it was the begginning of his rise to megastardom. Not saying this can applicable, but compare Adam to every single pop act alive today, Adam is like the love child of Elvis and Madonna with a side of Freddie. But the great thing about Adam Lambert, is he is Adam Lambert one of a kind and the only one. I hope A3 is a smash it, he deserves it, I can't think of any artist, solo act e.t.c. Alive today who deserves megastardom more then Adam. |

Alive today who deserves megastardom more then Adam. I agree that Adam also has a "stage persona", even multiple ones, if you allow me the liberty to interpret your intended meaning of the phrase. But I don't think it has anything to do with what I think stage personas are, or his makeup at that:))) I would use a different name for that. I have probably expressed myself poorly, I'll try to explain. Even during QAL, he always says after Killer Queen that it is not really him. But that's not Adam having a stage persona, that is Adam painting a picture, acting a role, creating an artistic experience. That is not fake, no matter how detached it gets from him personally. It's interpretation. For me, stage personas are the ones who in order to make money create a version of themselves they think would be appealing to the audience and then as such, they create products which they can sell best. And THAT is not Adam. I'm so sorry if this also came out wrong! I really tried to explain it as best as I could. ETA/// I so agree with you on the underlined parts!!! |

"he can do anything, all genres. He prob is going to have to pick a lane and stick to it for A3." Can't understand why fans say this. The man can do any genre and enjoys that. Similar to Queen in many ways. Are they Rovk? Pop? Pop/Rock? Don't expect Adam to stay in one lane for A3 because he's already said, "No!" "Genres are passé," most recently in his Twitter party, where he almost seemed annoyed by the question!  I hope Adam is signed with WBR because Cavallo seems to be on the same page as Adam in that an artist's vision should never be limited for trying to predict what will be commercially successful! Cavallo's exact words, "It doesn't work." @lambetterer: @adamlambert will the new album be rock genre?” I don't believe in genre. It's passé

Q3 you missed A Kind of Magic from your list which Roger performed in last series of shows. It was only for the North American shows. So anything past Toronto didn't count.... Otherwise I would have added Teo Toriatte and IWBTLY and would have considered both AKOM and IWTBF AKOM and IWTBF are not songs performed on American soil. For the QPR 2006 tour, AKOM was skipped, Break Free was in the first few gigs and then dropped. The guitar solo is tough. When I say Guitar Solo, to me that automatically includes part of Brighton Rocks...as it's been the same basis for his solo since 1974 no matter what the solo is named in concert videos/CDs (Brighton Rock Solo/Guitar Solo/Guitar Extravagance) etc. As far as 2 more additional songs beyond BR and Last Horizon....I don't remember 2 more. I remember 1 more when he quoted Welcome To The Jungle... |
