I don't think Adam's career is "stuck." So I can't answer that, katycake.

Not Patti, but Adam has been with them at least since 2011 I guess (5ish years) since they helped get the EMA gig for him by this account. Right!! Thank you! Well, I must say I'm not very happy now. It's been 6 years, and the one big accomplishment they had with Adam is putting him together with Queen. It's big, I'm not saying it isn't, it's huge even, but I'm here for Adam, not for Queen. Why is his music career so stuck? It isn't the songs' fault, it isn't the production, it isn't his singing abilities, it isn't his performance skills or his looks, so why is it? Are they managing him wrong? Adam's music career isn't stuck. He's done really well; he's constantly being creative with his own stuff, is touring with Queen and having a blast with that. Not stuck at all.

I don't think Adam's career is "stuck." So I can't answer that, katycake. No, I was asking you about how you found that video - it's pretty amazing that you did! As for Adam's career - I never used to care whether the singers that I liked had their songs high in the charts. Mostly they didn't. It means nothing to me. With Adam it's different, it's the first time I care so much about a singer as a person, and obviously he's interested in having success in the charts, then so do I. And in this respect, his career is stuck, because he's only had one mid-size hit since 2010. If he had put out albums with songs that were beautiful but had no hit potential, I'd say nothing. But the opposite is true - in the last 2 albums he's had several songs that had huge potential to be hits, but except for GT, no one even tried! Something isn't working there. And now, it doesn't look like they're in any hurry to put out the new music. I want to trust that they have their plans and their reasons, but realizing it's been 6 years, my trust is starting to fade...

You look beautiful! Me personally, I feel that Queen isn't Adam's career. It isn't his band, not his songs, not his heritage. If all he does is sing for Queen, he won't be remembered. Just my opinion. Touring with Queen made the world realize what an amazing singer he is, but he has to take that and and use it for his own songs, that will be identified with him, in order to carve his own place and legacy in the music world.

I think Adam and Sauli are smart to define their relationship on their terms. If or when they decide to have an exclusive, committed relationship there is no need to tell the press "but we do get together intimately sometimes." Why cheapen it for the enjoyment of others who think they know more about the relationship than Adam has said? The last time the press (and some fans) had them practically married only to see things come unglued. I wish for great happiness for Adam in his personal life but I trust that he knows what he wants without any pushing and intrusions and speculation from the media.
Adam's career is a solo career and fronting Queen. His choice and he is doing great with both. If radio gets on board he will do even better. He has made millions with his solo efforts and he has made millions as the Queen frontman. He is recognized worldwide for both. Well played.

I really loved that Interview from that DMG guy... he mentioned tv-interest in Adam, there were/are several broadway offers...so much to Adams "dead" or "stuck" solo career^^ ...I just don't think it is fair to judge Adams solo career, while he is still splitting his time with Queen...jmho yes one can treat the Queen gig as earned one time and now a easy/given choice...but was Queen+Paul Rogers successful? I do think that Queens current live success is a big part due to Adam and of course their simply stunning/timeless/classic (and so on) music catalog...If Queen fans didn't like Adam they would maybe give him a chance once, check him out but not come around for a second or third tour...I feel that Adam in a way has to earn every tour they get to do, that they are able to sell out, again and again...

I want to be clear that I want for Adam only what I believe he wants for himself. In that interview, Jensen says of K.D. Lang "she's not the most ambitious person, she likes to have a very quiet life", and that "they have to light a fire under her to get her to work". That sounds sweet, and if that's how Adam was, I'd be content. But of Adam Jensen says (at around 11:25): "Adam is not only talented, but a very hard worker, he's determined, he's ambitious, he's focused". To me, it means Adam wants more success than he now has. Watching him though, he's certainly found a way to combine being ambitious with being happy with what he's got. He doesn't ever look bitter. Nothing is worth it if you aren't happy with your life, and he looks nothing but happy and content .

They have learned from past experiences to keep it quiet at least until or if they decide to take the next step. If they told the press something now, there wouldn't be a minute of peace from the media or the fans. Let them enjoy life on their own terms. They look happy, what ever the relationsship status is. Also agree with Adam's career. Of course fronting Queen is something he really enjoys to do. That'll also give him the much needed recognition. So happy for him. Have a good day, you all. 😊

I want to trust that they have their plans and their reasons, but realizing it's been 6 years, my trust is starting to fade... katycake, I pretty much agree. So many other singers with only half of Adam's qualities are filling arenas with their own music and are topping the charts. It's so frustrating. Adam simply isn't accepted by a wide measure of the listening public for some reason. To us, it's a no-brainer. He's got everything you could want in an entertainer. It's puzzling why he isn't totally A-list in every way. There are plenty of major singers who are about his age, so it's not all about that. Queen has been a huge bonus for him. The positives FAR outweigh any negatives, IMO. And it won't last forever. I am confident that his label and his management want him to succeed and will handle him well. His own new music will come in due time. I know how you feel about caring about him as a person and not just as a singer. Most of us here feel the same way.

Happy Monday!I am so excited...my Hummingbirds are back again for the Spring/Summer!! It snowed here today. Also, I think Adam has the best of both worlds. For a guy who thought musical theatre was it for him, my guess is he's pretty satisfied.
