As for becoming a legend and solo a worldwide superstar: I would be careful what to wish for. I just thought of Demi Lovato. Some here were really upset, because Adam didn’t get the chance to tour with her or because she often got opportunities, that Adam never gets. But we can clearly see, that this doesn’t make her happy. Adam is happy with Brian and Roger. I actually cannot remember to have seen such happy faces on a professional stage. They are all beaming with joy. It’s one of the things, that I absolutely love about QAL. Adam is a teamplayer. This band is good for him. And I would rather want him to play with Queen forever (that won’t happen😉), than him ending like too many of these „legends“. If I believed for one second that Adam is satified being with Queen, I would've said nothing. I'm sure it makes him happy, as much as I'm sure he also wants to have his own big success. Dealing with fame is hard for sure, especially for people who became famous as children. I guess they need a very stable background in order to deal. But I really don't think we should worry about Adam in this regard. He's had a healthy childhood, he has supportive envirement, and he seems very balanced emotionally. I think Adam will do what's best for his own career. . One doesn't have to become a legend to have a happy and fulfilling life even in the music business.Just saying.. but I don't speak for Adam,he speaks so eloquently for himself.

Cassie and you think Adam's satisfied and fulfilled with the QAL gig, graciejane and I think he isn't entirely. We all base our opinions on different things Adam says, but we don't know for sure and can only guess.

All I know is that behind every „legend“ or superstar stands/ stood a big manager or other mighty person of the music business. Just look at Elvis or Bieber for instance. Without their managers, none of them would be, where they are. You can have all the talent of the world. As long as there is no manager, who thinks, that there is a market for the singer, you go nowhere. Radio won‘t play you. People won‘t hear you. And as I said before: Adam already had two shots. And the labels did try their best. They just had problems to find the right strategy to market Adam, being who he is. As he himself had said by the way. I would only blame them for letting him fall too fast.
Can you tell me how to market him to become a mainstream success? Elvis was young, goodlooking with new rock‘n‘roll hits. Bieber was just the cute kid, who made his own music. Both were easily to love by millions of people. They fit the bill, so to speak. But, both were also completely in the hands of their managers.
As you said: Adam came later into the business, is smart and knows what he wants. He will (hopefully) never sign a contract, that makes him dependent from a manager. Problem: Therefore he’s not that interesting for them. They want to make money.
At the end, he’s fine. And I‘m sure, he will do his best in era 4 to become even more successful. But it’s a complex situation. Just putting new music out won’t work in my opinion. A great plan is needed and it will take it‘s time. And until that can unfold, Adam is happily singing with Queen.
PS: Just thinking about it: If the contract situation with management and labels is as complicated as we believe it is, then I’m absolutely glad, that Adam has Queen for distraction. I think, he would get mad otherwise... and no, I don’t believe, that Adam is mentally as stable as some believe. He has his insecurities like everyone.

YUP you're so right, we can only guess.. sigh

I have a quick question! Down at the bottom of the page, the atop members twitter timeline isn't working. Nothing there. Anyone know why? Is this just a temporary glitch?

I'm on Chrome and it is working fine for me. Try exiting and opening the app again? Or a different browser? Or posting some of your wonderful gifs as bribes?

So as Adam's Manager - How would you manage him?
Kardashian style - reality series
Justin Timberlake style - acting
Arsenio Hall - start his own show even if it's just on youtube
Turn him into a writer - we know he has good writing skills, what would he write about?
Social Media? From my viewpoint snapchat and instagram are far to short to be very interesting but I like video
Commercials - Is he turning down to many or are they not asking enough?
Broadway - is it time or does he even have enough time as that's harder to work around
Guest - judging, emcee, political - we see him at fashion shows, maybe he needs to talk about them. Remember when he talked his way into hosting on the red carpet his first year out?
Create a band - not just solo
Music expert - instead of just tweeting about other music maybe something lengthier that can also include some of his own stuff
Fashion Line - of his own or maybe a small selection of someone else's
Charity - does he have enough $$ to start his own
Video games - he's had several songs that would have been perfect for new games that have come out including some of the car chase games.
Anime - one of the reasons Runnin is big is because it's used or been co-opted by one theme. What about starting a contest and giving a prize.
I'm just not of the opinion that music on the radio can do it all, what else can sell Adam the person?

I'm on Chrome, too.... the tweet timeline was gone for about an hour, but now it seems to be back! And I can't post gifs because my thousands of gifs are stuck in fuckitbucket, and I don't do fuckitbucket anymore. ETA: Huh. The atop twitter timeline is only "sort of back". A tiny handful of tweets, then it stops. I'll check again later!

I think it is hard to come up with what Adam should do as we don't exactly know what he wants to do and what he wants to invest HIS money and time in.
