Wow! I am trying to shrug it off. It doesn't matter. But I am PISSED. I wrote that OPINION piece for Atop friends, not for Freddie diehards. Ah, well. Shake it off. Cassie...please don't let a small group of people spewing irrational negative energy bother you. I know you might feel violated that your thoughts that were meant for Adamtopians were stolen and posted on another fan site. The person who did this has no character. People like that really mean nothing in the larger picture. They just talk hate. Queen fans have a right to feel Freddie is the best and are to be respected for their loyalty. That can be understood but vile mean spirited comments are not acceptable, in my opinion. I have enjoyed watching Queen fans come around and express their appreciation for Adam's talent and his gift of letting them experience again the Queen songs they so loved and missed seeing performed. And they can still love Freddie...miss Freddie...and will always love him. I will always feel Adam is the best and love him but I respect and understand the love Queen fans have for Freddie.
Enjoy and celebrate all the positive, joyous, and magical energy Adam and Queen fans share together at a QAL concert! That is what is important. Let us Adam fans feel he is the best and let the Queen fans feel the same for Freddie. Agree to disagree in a positive way and celebrate both Adam/Freddie! I have learned to ignore the negative because, for me, it really doesn't matter anymore...QAL are a complete success world wide and are enjoyed by thousands!!

Another point about Brian is that he is an environmentalist. That is not an easy job. Years ago, my husband and I were involved in saving a natural area near our home -- trying to get the neighbourhood motivated and fighting City Hall definitely took its toll on my health. I really don't know how environmentalists keep at it year after year. I have a lot of respect for them after my one little venture. I noticed on Brian's instagram that he was trying to get people in England to a rally and it got very few likes compared to his QAL posts. That must be discouraging and now he might be feeling daunted by having to get back into that activist mode. Also, for one who cares about the environment, Vegas must be an anathema. I try to keep a very small carbon footprint and my efforts seemed pretty futile when you think of the amount of power needed to keep Vegas running -- plus the water being used and the garbage being generated. I even felt badly being on an airplane burning up all that fuel and then I had to watch all those other planes coming and going. But that is the way the world operates right now and if I'm going to enjoy life, I have to suppress a lot of these thoughts. It is a contradiction in the brain and I wouldn't be surprised if Brian feels that too. I don't want to be too much of a Debbie Downer here. I did enjoy my time in Vegas -- it was stimulating and over the top -- I just had to wrestle with my conscience a bit while I was there. Totally agree Happy....and the biggest thing...I saw no sign of any recycling, anywhere!! WTF...it is 2018. I have been recycling for 30 years....it is not a new concept Vegas....seriously!!! Fortunately, there is curbside recycling in the regular neighborhoods, as I had a recycling bin at my rental house. But with all those hotel/casinos WTF indeed!!

Same. I also had the impression, that it’s more Adam’s friends, who are crazy about her. Some of them post often about her music and/or have her poster in their home. I didn’t notice that with Adam... I saw a very interesting youtube video by a gay man about their love of Divas. It actually goes back to earlier obsessions with Judy Garland, Liza Minelli, Ethel Merman. Beyonce and Gaga are the new generation's heroines because of their "in your face" attitude. Great videos if you like musicals by Musical Theatre Mash. www.youtube.com/watch?v=-gDVfjj1Wa4&list=PLkUsqr1FIaGFE5Z8lhBMb2i8PlYl9ILoW&index=2Yes, I know about Adam and his divas. Though I believe he‘s much more into Madonna, Rihanna and Lady GaGa than into Beyonce. But he would always love a great show-and that is what her performance was for sure. Plus he was spending time with his friends, whom he made apparently very happy. They had backstage tickets and one of them called Adam the „host“ and thanked him for the evening.

I like this vid where you see the shadows of all three of them (Adam Brian, Roger) walking to the front of the stage in HH.
