A thought or two: remember how Adam said he felt locked into playing whatever the director decided night after night--about Wicked, I think, but also about why he would like to create a role on Broadway rather than be cast in an existing play. He also slipped in one of his latest interviews that he did not want to become a "brand" ( Glamrock, 80's hits RCA wanted?), although it's one way to success, it locks one into a certain genre--and he doesn't like to cramp his style that way.. So, my point is that Adam evolves very quickly, and while he knows the generic sound he is going for( more live instruments) , he is always pushing ahead, so after music camp, he may have decided to add or delete or rework songs he had selected previously? Taking that a step further, he loves the variety of Queen's catalog, and I think he will always be on a musical quest his entire career, or at least his immediate future. This may indeed limit his exciting, eclectic performing style away from pop radio. I think he's going for a progressive body of work--songs he can inhabit, not just sing. OR NOT--lol. I heard LeAnn Womack on NPR talk about the real soul sucking work it required of her to please her label with more pop country, when she wanted to do old time country spiritual music like that she'd been raised in ( her father was a country DJ in East Texas.). She is doing what she wants to share now and she is enervated by writing and performing to please herself, not exhausted trying to please a label. Just sayin'. I never realized what an emotional battle Adam may face trying to be himself and pleasing the powers that be. Thank god for Queen where he can hone his style and achieve enough financial independence to be himself. If that limits radio play because he's not a "brand" in order to please radio, labels, etc., I think he knows from Nile, Brian, and Roger, that his longevity in music doesn't have to be a compromise. Remember Nile telling him that no matter what, Adam will always be able to sing for a living. Very interesting comments. Thank you! I think we're all subconsciously (or consciously) looking ahead post-Queen. QAL has been Adam's ace-in-the-hole for quite a while. A gig like that dominates everything else for the time being. It's a once in a a lifetime opportunity. It's really given Adam world-wide cred. But what happens afterward is yet to be seen. He's risen above the bowling alley, local bar, county fair level (not that there's anything wrong with that!). But his solo longevity is still a mystery. He's never reached the arena-filling level as a solo act. He's still a niche of some un-named sort. His music is morphing. His personae has evolved. Personally, I prefer longevity and steady work rather than short-term arena filling. I hope he gets a chance at acting, too. I think he could handle that just fine.

We know that Brian is a big fan of Adam's. But this statement is still incredible. He says he has seen a million singers and no one has the voice that Adam has. Dare I say it? The implication is...... not even Freddie. Sacrilege, I know. But, IMO, Brian has just weighed in on the constant debate on who is the better singer. Case closed.

Gotta admit I'm a little bummed about the album apparently still not finished. I hope it's just that Adam decided to change direction a bit, not that he submitted it to WB and was told to do more work on it like RCA allegedly did with TP... Have to trust Adam that he knows what's best for him though. We'll hear something new eventually! I don't remember RCA telling him to do "more work" other than FURCA wanted a Dr Luke song and a Bruno Mars song instead of Adam's amazing songs as first singles. IMO, Adam wasn't satisfied. Just guessing. I don't want to get too specific, but I have some thoughts.

But he's said something very similar before. My favorite quotes are these: "It's not a museum. He's stepping into a place where he can create with us!" Perfect for the on line QAL haters! "We have this guy. And we have a band!" Damn, I love Dr May soooooo much! It's just not that deep. "we have this guy. And we have this band."
