I am going to speculate that they’ll open with WWRY/WATC shortened combo and may be will add a few bars of something else... but I am sure they are very limited in time, so how much can they squeeze in? since there is no host this year opening the show with those two songs would be perfect IMO! I edited my previous post but I can really see this scenario: Intro to BR floating over the unarguably real life/fantasy crowd and then BAM! lights, camera, QAL! Is this the real life? Is this just fantasy? Caught in a landslide No escape from reality .... fades Lights!!! Stomp, Stomp, Clap! etc.... Etc. being WWRY/WATC

My first thought was a medley. Do you know if they have a previously performed medley that includes Bohemian Rhapsody? In the Rock in New Year concert in the UK, the sang Killer Queen instead of the video taped middle section. Sounds likely. Look at the 15 seconds they posted, I think there is a split second of KC in it (Adam pink checkered pants on top of robot). There's another shot that's not WWRY Adam in the long leather cape - of course he opened in that so could be another hint that they will open. And commercials - just heard "I Want it All" on add for one of the restaurant delivery services, new to me.

I thought the Elvis special was well done. I thought almost all of the acts did good jobs: professional, on pitch, decent voices. Except for the scream fest with Carrie, was it? No thanks. That's what the "skip forward" button is for. My lingering impression after watching (and fast forwarding) the show was "One of these things is not like the others." Everything about Adam's performance was a cut above: the control, purity, flexibility, vibrancy, 3D character of his voice, the energy, the moves and vocal stylings that were not an imitation but a nod to Elvis, the color-popping suit, the blue suede shoes, the sense of fun and playfulness. Even with the company of his peers in the field, Adam is without peer.Perfectly said. I thought the same last night and didn't quite know how to put in words. This was another great gig for him - very good company indeed, yet he stood out.

Wow, what a great surprise!!! What a great day: Waking up to Adam’s Elvis performance, that carried me out of bed, while watching his beautiful pictures from his vacation. And now I just came home and find the news, that QAL will perform at the Oscars. The day can hardly become any better. As for the fact, that Adam had denied the appearance before: I believe, they were asked rather recently, as the Oscars were first said to only show 2 music acts. Then they decided to show all 5 nominated ones and now Queen + Adam. That show was still in the planning. I wonder if there were some negotiations with Queen insisting that Adam had to be a part of the performance? I keep imagining them trying to push gaga. So happy this is happening. Why would they ever in the world want Gaga.. Adam is Queen's lead singer.. and only Adam can do the songs justice.Lady Gaga Has her own song to sing
