While I was looking thru Youtubes for more Mad Worlds, I ran across this Underneath from CapeTown. Oh my, the close ups of his eyes and expressions...I can see water inside his nose like you get when your eyes overflow......The emotion of this song almost breaks my heart. And now we know looking back to Nov 2012 that his 2 yr love affair had "run it's course".

I feel like Adam, his fans and supporters, delivered the NA Tour, selling the shows out. That in itself was quite a feat, as Queen in their heyday with Freddie were not able to do likewise. Have heard via Queen website, that some of the shows in Europe are selling a bit slowly, but perhaps it should be considered that this is the holiday season, and perhaps ticket sales will pick up prior to showtime. Even though a lot of us overextended outselves to attend one or more shows, it was more than worth it, but now in retrospect, we were spared tix purchases before the major holidays. Does anyone know any of the actual figures with regard to Europe? And we did not have to brave the cold weather in NA! |

I find it interesting that it is the older long established female singers, Cyndi Lauper & Melissa Etheridge, who or asking Adam to duet with them. Wish Barbara Streisand had asked him for her just released Partners (duets) album. Interestingly, Cyndi and Melissa are also both out lesbian artists and LGBT activists and were both early Adam supporters -- even when he did not get whole hearted support from the "gay establishment". ETA: But there are other people who want to duet or record with Adam -- Demi Lovato, and Brian and Roger are two that come to mind. Plus he just did a duet with Lady Gaga with Queen. I am sure she could have asked to do a solo lead vocal with Queen. I don't think Cyndi is a lesbian....of course she's a major LGBT activist but she's not gay. (or maybe you didn't mean that) |

(or maybe you didn't mean that) Correct. Cyndi is married to David Thornton. Her sister, however, is a lesbian. |

Even though a lot of us overextended outselves to attend one or more shows, it was more than worth it, but now in retrospect, we were spared tix purchases before the major holidays. Does anyone know any of the actual figures with regard to Europe? Queen almost always sold out their NA concerts from their first solo shows through 1986. The peak was probably the 1980 The Game Tour -- when they played stadium shows. I love Q+AL and the tour was a big success so far but it is far smaller than their tours in the early 1980's. The Queen + Paul Rodgers Tour (71% of US Tickets sold) was not as successful although more successful in the rest of the world. I attended many concerts during the Q+AL tour and I think that there were far more Queen fans than Adam fans at every show. There are, of course, many Adam fans who are also Queen fans. I am one. *** Regarding Europe -- many shows are sold out already and it will be a "sold out" tour perhaps with a couple show with some tickets left. North American was not completely sold out -- IZOD, Atlantic City and Detroit were not sold out. Surprisingly to me Chicago was not sold out. There were a few other shows were not sold out. But it is considered a "sold out" tour. |

And now we know looking back to Nov 2012 that his 2 yr love affair had "run it's course". Nov 2012??? I think They were still very much together then. It was when they got their condo together. The relationship hit the skids mid to end of January, 2013. If anything, that period end of 2012 is 1) When Adam was gone a lot. 2) When Adam knew Trespassing was done! :( Yes, that is right. The first sign that there was any trouble between A&S was late December 2012. I think Adam does not get enough credit for his ability to bring emotion to a song without it being a reflection of his real life. He is a pretty good actor but when he performs a song, he sometimes seems completed invested in the performances. |
