I love our Evropa 2 HOT radio! I listen to it all this week and they played it every day. It's always so amazing to hear the song (or another Adam's song) on radio. :D

Hi all! I haven't posted in a long time, but I am here everyday. Special thanks to Q3, pi and all you regular contributors for YEARS of fun.
I was one of many Chicagoland Glamberts at the United Center last night. I thought I'd write a recap since I enjoy reading them.
I'll begin with the obvious:
Adam Lambert is a very sexy man.
There I said it. I may be "old" but I am not dead! 😊 Also, remember when Adam said, "Glitter is dead to me"? Well, Lordy, Lordy there's been a resurrection! Each costume was "sparkly-er" as the show went along, especially the sleeveless t-shirt with the wings. My eye had no problem following Adam as he prowled the stage.
Other posters have pointed out that everyone is so happy at this concert...the performers, the crowd, and even security, lol. This is my overall impression as well. In fact, I was grinning like a loon the entire time. The terrible traffic both to and from the United Center could not bring me down. (Of course, my wonderful husband was driving.) But beyond the sheer joy we experienced, Brian, Roger, Adam and everyone associated with this concert should be so proud! The concert was so tight, the pacing crisp and the lighting/special effects phenomenal. Beyond this, Queen's legacy is very much alive. Their life's work a cherished part of the soundtrack of so many people's lives. Adam must be proud of the way he can win over the audience every single night. The fact that this is necessary is a tribute to the Queen legacy and Adam's unique talent.
I'll close with yet another example of Adam winning over the audience, one Queen fan at a time. The guy seated directly behind me was singing the lyrics to "Hammer to Fall", so he knows his Queen. (Perhaps not the same tune as was sung on stage, but my pitch control is not so great, either. 😏) Anyway, during Adam's "I am not Freddie" speech, my neighbor was saying things like " That's right. You'll never be Freddie. Freddie forever". Next thing I know, this same guy was singing along with "Two Fux" by the second chorus! Go figure! I guess the on screen lyrics were irresistible. By the reprise of "We will Rock You" he was saying "You did. You did that good, son!"
It's all good indeed. Meeting challenges head on...smiling most of the way...may be Adam's greatest talent of all.

What the hell?!! This artist didn't spend too much time finding his inspiration did he?! If Warner Bros wasn't the DC parent company, I'd suggest Adam sue!
