Here is an English version of the German articles posted above: twitter.com/notsignedtv/status/1127491860996345856NotSigned.TV @notsignedtv Adam Lambert didn't believe he could be a songwriter dlvr.it/R4XR0GAdam Lambert has admitted he lacked self-belief at the start of his career because he didn't think having a musical theatre background would enable him to become a recording artist. Adam Lambert ''didn't believe'' he could be a songwriter. The 37-year-old singer shot to fame when he competed on 'American Idol' in 2009, but admitted that with his background being in musical theatre, he didn't think he had any chance of becoming a chart star, so credits his friend Alisan Porter - who won 'The Voice' in 2016 - for encouraging him to follow his dreams. He said: ''Alisan won 'The Voice' and was a child actress so she's been in the business for a long time and I respect her a lot. ''She's a songwriter and a mother-of-two, and very independent, which I really admire. ''We were in a musical together and became good friends. ''Alisan encouraged me to write a song aged 23 - it was the first time I'd ever done that. ''I didn't believe I could become a songwriter and a recording artist because if you come from musical theatre, people make assumptions about the type of artist you are. ''Alisan is one of the reasons I made it.'' Adam also praised his mother Leila for always being his biggest fan. He told Marie Claire magazine: ''Mom has always given me unwavering love and support. ''As a teenager, she became more than just a mom to me. She was my friend and we were really close. ''I remember going on a trip together to New York when I was 14 and we laughed a lot. ''She's always been my number one, telling me I'd make it before I really believed it.'' Though the 'Ghost Town' singer admitted his life ''changed a great deal'' after he found fame, he vowed never to move on from his loyal friends. Speaking about his pal Danielle Stori, he said: ''We grew up down the street from one another and Danielle is like my sister. ''When the 'Idol' thing happened, she said, 'I feel like I'm gonna lose you now.' I remember saying, 'That will never happen.' ''My life changed a great deal but I was 27 and knew the people I loved weren't going anywhere. ''I respect Danielle a great deal. She's hugely inspirational to me.''

Don’t miss this inspiring speech at the Human Rights Campaign dinner in LV by Pete B: youtu.be/CuCKSFtNhRQLove Mayor Pete ! Thanks for posting this...he's such a wonderful speaker. He always makes me realize how far we HAVE come, and makes me hopeful that we'll keep going forward (in spite of the ugly backwards trends of the last couple of years). Love Chasten also...he's hilarious.

About Brian's interview with BBC: Rockol Pop Rock News @rockolpoprock Queen, Brian May: 'Ancora un tour con Adam Lambert, poi...' www.rockol.it/news-703837/queen-ancora-tour-lambert-poi-scioglimento … Google translate of the article: Queen, Brian May: 'Another tour with Adam Lambert, then ...' The guitarist on the band's future: 'I hope to bring the Rhapsody Tour to Europe. Later, though ... ' At present, Queen's are not planning concerts in Europe. Brian May and Roger Taylor, in the company of Adam Lambert, the 37-year-old American singer called to occupy - since 2011 - the seat on the microphone left vacant by Freddie Mercury, will inaugurate the 2019 tranche of the "Rhapsody Tour" on 10 July in Vancouver, in Canada: after twenty-five dates in North America, the training will take place between January and February 2020 between Australia, New Zealand and Japan. At the moment, however, the announcement of a European branch of the tour is missing. Interviewed by Zoe Ball on BBC 2 Radio, Brian May did not rule out that the show could be back on the scene even in the Old Continent. "I hope that happens," said the guitarist, "For the moment, however, no announcements". Then, at the microphones of the British public broadcasting service, the revelation: "As I see it, it will be the last round before we break up". Boutade or real project? May, turning to Ball, played down the possible withdrawal - "I can still move and talk," he joked - but it is inevitable to consider the conditions for collaboration between the two elements still active in the glorious formation of "We Will Rock You" and the former American Idol star do not include record projects that can find long-term outlets. In particular, it is almost certain that May and Taylor - with Lambert or any other singer - will never record unreleased material under the aegis of Queen. To admit it, as early as 2017, it was May himself during an interview with the American edition of Rolling Stone: "With Paul Rodgers [with whom Queen recorded in 2008 the first and only unreleased album without Mercury on vocals," Cosmos Rocks! "] We have worked as damned for months, doing very good things, but - there is no doubt about that - no one is interested. They simply disappeared. In some ways, we received the message, right or wrong as it is: people want to hear Queen on records with Freddie's voice ". Recently, even Taylor had expressed himself on the subject, refusing for the comparison between the shows staged with Lambert and the historical production made with Mercury: "Those who make comparisons with Queen with Freddie are wasting their time. He is dead and to our there will be no concerts. And we are not trying to bring him back to life ".

A nice fan blog. She's from India. Aaliya Vatsla @aaliyavatsla Love At First Voice With Killer Queen scatterbrainedfemale.blog/2019/05/12/love-at-first-voice-with-killer-queen/ … via @aaliyavatsla @adamlambert #Glamberts #Velvet #AdamLambert #NewEyes Sigh! It has been more than a decade and I can’t get enough of Adam Lambert. Never in my wildest dreams I thought that I would fall head over heels for this man and it will stay. My first memory of knowing about Adam is hazy. I was most probably in my second or third year of college when I heard about him. Or was it a fellow student who recommended For Your Entertainment to me? Nope, I don’t remember. All I remember is watching this video on my Samsung L-700 and absorbing this man’s charisma. That song stayed with me for a while before I searched for If I Had You. I felt my soul being swept away as I held my breathe and watched him spread his magic. What was it about this guy? Why was I so mesmerised by him? I didn’t know. One thing is for sure, it wasn’t only his drop-dead-gorgeous looks. It was more than that. I still don’t know. I probably will never know. I think I don’t need to know as long as my heart is connected to his otherworldly voice and angelic(?) charm. This experience is being written probably a decade later when it should have been written. I think I am ready to write in detail about me falling in love with this man who I don’t know, may or may not meet, or even get to see him. ...
