@enews: "I get some power from (Freddie Mercury) that is about stepping up and living your best life, being exactly who you want to be and accomplishing everything you so desire. And I feel that and he allows us all to feel that, so this is, again, for him." - Rami Malek #SAGAwards I am really impressed with Rami. Not only was his acting in BoRhap superb (and the win well deserved) but given the BS drama, he really held it together beautifully with a meaningful speech. He found the right words and honored Freddie's legacy and Queen, without making it all about himself. I like this guy. Yes that was a really nice speech. How he held it together was a thing of beauty. I thought I would lose it, lol. This win just felt more emotional and important than the last ones because of the unfair hits directed at them. I think they all needed to be uplifted and validated. I hope this will make the Oscar people, who are yet to vote, decide to let BR stand on their own merit instead of following the lead of Glaad. No need to punish those who are not responsible for the accusations leveled at BS. I see that Robin Wright also had a nomination (tho not a win) after the charges against Kevin Spacey. I would hate to see a trend started of collective punishment. There would be no end to it.

So happy for Rami! Don’t know if it’s sour grapes or because I mistakenly went on some performance of his and read some vituperative comments regarding Adam that were as bad as the hard-line Queenies were at first, but if I hadn’t had to suffer hearing Marc Martel’s name mentioned, I would have been far happier. And I know that Marc didn’t write those comments, so I’ll have to stay away from any and all of his performances and change my attitude about him if I can.
I’ve been having to do lots of skimming these past several weeks, so forgive me if this has been answered, but do Adam and Javi live together? I saw the recent small get together that Javi had at Adam’s house and realized I didn’t know. Doesn’t truly matter, but I just was curious. Thanks.

Javi just posted a pic walking Pharaoh in the dark then deleted it before I could save it. Don't know if it's in real time or not. He posted a pic with his friend Marco Salito from Spain an hour ago and it was daylight. I'm guessing Adam is in London. Maybe a photoshoot on his Birthday....just a guess...or maybe some other business. I think the picture with the friend was in real-time from LA. Javi was wearing one of Adam’s hoodies. i think, Adam could be everywhere: from wandering Rome to London or whatever. WITWIAL? And: Congratulations to Rami for his SAG-award!

Getting into the comment sections of anything Queen related can be toxic, and it seems that MM fans don't really like Adam. Ah well. Wonder why... I try to avoid those forums. Javi... from what I've been gathering, he has his own apartment. But he also appears to take care of Pharaoh during Adam's absence. And "naturally", he seems to spend a good chunk of time at Adam's. That's all I know, but I am not an expert. Anybody, feel free to correct me if I say something wrong.

I don’t recall Rami ever mentioning Adam. Rami has seen several QALs - I sat within feet of him at two concerts and could see him having a great time. Yet..i’ve not seen even a passing reference to Adam. Rami would undoubtedly be aware of the Marc Martel fans antagonism towards Adam. (Edit: referencing Rami’s super-enthusiastic praise of Marc last night) Adam saw the film and praised Rami effusively. Rami saw Adam perform in concert with Queen several times and... Given his relationship with Brian and Roger I would have thought it a simple professional courtesy for Rami to reference their tour and chosen frontman. It’s what social media is all about. I am obviously bitter and twisted. Very happy to be told I am wrong and that Rami has said nice things I’ve missed. (and yes, I know the world doesn’t revolve around Adam and the film was about Freddie - not my point )

Adam does not sound like Freddie, look like Freddie, or act like Freddie -- I am glad he had no part of playing Freddie in BoRhap movie. It makes sense that they used Mark Martel's vocals -- he sounds like Freddie. I don't think Adam has anything left to prove -- he is a great vocalist and is becoming recognized as a great frontman. I really have no interest in Adam being Freddie in any way, shape, or form.

I really have no interest in Adam being Freddie in any way, shape, or form. I, for one, couldn’t agree more....with every word. Casting Adam could never have been in anyone’s mind. He would not have been believable in any shape or form and more and more, I am happy for him to be distanced from the film. I am happier still that they didn’t try to squeeze his muscular body into Freddie’s little skinny onesies!! Rami was just perfect. Marc Martel is the best soundalike for the job. Not ‘bitter and twisted’ about any of that....

Just my opinion but I think Adam believed that Rami was the best choice for the part. But I also think he needed to make it clear that he thought that cause some earlier media reports wrongly suggested that Adam was one of the ones considered for the part but didn't get it. Adam is not an actor on the level to carry a lead of a major motion picture at this point in his career just as Rami cannot front Queen for real. For some reason some seem to get the two mixed up as if they are the same. I even saw some silly KA fans claiming that Adam's fans were probably jealous cause Adam was not cast as Freddie. Adam does his own thing fronting Queen and does not try to copy Freddie. No way he would want to imitate him in a major movie role. So I think he was wise to really be vocal in his support of Rami to put that foolishness to rest if possible. Rami was not faced with that problem of some thinking he wanted to be the actual Queen frontman but was rejected. My guess is they all want to keep the Freddie and QAL thing separate even in interviews.

That's all I know, but I am not an expert. Anybody, feel free to correct me if I say something wrong. I think you’re right. I‘ve the feeling, that Adam likes to have a housesitter. Even before Javi has been there, there has lately been a friend at Adam’s house with Pharaoh, when Adam was gone for a few days. Maybe it has to do with the burglary.
