@laurenceconnor1 you recruiting him for Miss Saigon Broadway, haha?
Is the last tweet suppose to be an insult? recruiting Adam for Miss Saigon (Broadway)? Anyway, I hope the producer of Les Miss movie who's so mad of Adam because he was brave enough to criticize the actors they chose finally get a chance to hear Adam's voice. {snickers}
Hey, I have said to a few times: Adam would have a blast....and be amazing as The Engineer. It is the best role in the play, IMHO and I imagine it would Adam's choice, for sure. Has some amazing songs.....certainly not an insult... |

I can't decide if that is unfortunate because so many will lose interest before they hear these great songs or fabulous because it will leave them wanting more. I'm jazzed people are listening to Adam's solo music..a prep for A3. (Not so tickled that RCA is getting the bucks.) I'm all for feeling fortunate that Adam will have new followers..some fab music on both FYE and TP. Saw a few tweets from new listeners that were posted here..very positive comments. Guess we'll find out more when-ish A3 droppish.. ??? ETA: Biggest boon of all to me is that now Adam's name is known, especially in the UK where it is so hard to break into. Bless Queen. My gawd, what their support has done to bolster Adam's visibility. Love Brian and Roger for embracing Adam as they have. Adam's got the goods, no doubt, but fronting Queen has been such a mutually beneficial collaboration. A total joy. I believe Adam will get royalties from any music he wrote or co-wrote on both albums..Now UK Amazon order more Trespassing and For Your Entertainment until A3 arrives.. and have a bloody lot of that new album..

I'm kinda embarrassed to admit how many pics of Adam are on my computer, actually I haven't counted, but it is in the 1000s!!! I have a special Adam/Queen external hard drive full of photos and videos all categorized in folders by song, era, interviews, etc. Yeah all of mine are on an external drive also, after I lost them once on my hard drive! I also was forced to categorize by performances, early life, friends, parties, red carpet events, etc!! Only way I could find anything LOL. BTW how did you like the Fleetwood Mac concert? I saw them in Houston and they were fantastic! |

@kwpheaney
@adamlambert: "The amount of raw talent in Adam's voice is unbelievable.Dear kwpheaney, Not to be a contrarian and in no way making light of your statement; but that is pure, well-honed, well-studied, hard-work talent right there. Respectfully, A Glambert  No, that is not Cassie posting. It is LindaG23. She took the words right out of my mouth! |

My nephew and his GF, who are 23, are going to the Cleveland show next month and he bought her tickets for Christmas! She is so excited. . |

The almost constant Freddie reference in regards to Adam is bordering on the religious.. kind of like murmering a prayer before you eat or maybe a mantra Ommmm or even thoughts of poor Yorick,I knew him well....
I skip all mentions of Big shoes,not as good,spirit of ,like ,almost like , never like and especially he would approve.I am ready to go screaming into the night for It's become like the theater of the absurd.

Thanks for your recap Cassie. I always look forward to your observations. I've learned a lot from your critiques. One thing for sure is that I never realized all there is to singing well! One other thing I noticed about Adam's "freedom" when he sings with Queen is that he's not busy orchestrating all the other things -- he seemed to really be managing a lot of things when he went out on his Trespassing tour. He can just sing and let Brian and Spike handle the rest. Very good point. He's got the dream band, and he only has to do front man duties, not worry about the entire show. |

Death has erased all of Freddie's flaws. Shortly after my Dad passed away a relative of mine asked me, "Is he a saint yet?" At that time I didn't really understand the reference but, now as the years have passed, he is a saint in my mind's eye. I get this sentiment completely.
I watched a documentary on Freddie this a.m. -- well, the very last part of it. They mentioned that Freddie felt self conscious about his skin and his teeth. Seemed funny to hear that. Also, after Freddie's death the press was extremely hard on Freddie's life style and some sources were actually condemning him for having died from AIDS. Brian and Roger gave a few interviews seriously defending him and standing by him steadfastly.
I thought about Freddie during the opening of NYE as the broadcasters mentioned that the last time Queen had played on the BBC (or maybe it was Westminster) was in 1975. I'm sure Brian and Roger acknowledged that within their hearts.
I do get the feelings of the Queen fans. Freddie was viciously attacked during his life by the media so they are protective of him and his legacy. I have no problem with their memories of him being that of perfection; what I have an issue with is them feeling that they can't appreciate or at least acknowledge Adam's talent out of fear that it is disloyal to Freddie. |
