WAIT:

@adamlambert 3) You can borrow the bassline from Another One Bites The Dust without fear of being sued....
14 Nov

Was this just a random tweet or did she perhaps know that Trespassing had the bass line from Another One Bites the dust? Did we miss a huge clue here? LOL.

Well, she wrote the article we´ve got the info from, so I would say: Yep, we missed a huge clue.

I do not believe the writer of the Sunday Times article is doubting the success of Trespassing as such, just weighing in if touring with Queen would be more profitable in the short run for Adam. Personally I'm sure both Adam and Queen agree that Adam will continue to further his career and occasionally step in to front Queen. Brian & Roger are not keen to tour extensively, they've done that... LOL.

I think based on Roger's interview they're talking dates... so maybe 2-3 dates next year. I mean I don't think they also can do a lot of tour dates in their age right now. If anything is signed between Queen & Adam, I think they're looking for a 1-3 off very special events in a year. And I also think that they want Adam to be available for these dates. Sooo... if they sign the agreement our BB will be very busy flying back and forth Atlantic... just like a Rock Star.. ;D ;D ;D

ETA:... Ohh.. I hope that Levine guy actually watched the EMA performance and I hope one of the dates that Queen will do their concerts will be in the US... Madison Square Garden?

I would think one date would be NYC too! Hoping!

If you are referring to this one, that was when they arrived on the 16th, I think. Looks like they are at the airport, packing the van, and leaving the airport.
There are only 2 flights leaving early in the day, the 1:00 ones I posted a few posts back.

I don't think he's much of a Jew at ALL! LOL! Jewish people are just like anybody else - they all have different degrees of beliefs. Some go to Temple, others not. The real orthodox ones have all the kosher stuff & don't eat certain foods on certain days. I don't think Adam follows ANY rules! Doesn't mean he doesn't believe in a higher power - he just calls it the "Universe".

And I certainly don't know how the Jewish religion feels about homosexuality. Most religions don't accept it openly - except for the Episcopalians. Do we have a Jewish ATOP member who knows what the Torah says about being gay (or if it even says anything)?

I second Katycake's post most of us are either agnostic or atheists (I am an atheist Jew).
If I remember correctly 70% of Israelis are secular. In most cases you are Jewish if your mother is Jewish - you are just part of the tribe if your mom is part of it - it has nothing to do with following the religious rules.
For a convert the rules are different...
As for homosexuality and the bible (torah, old testament) - I believe the christian's are using the same book "The old testament" as us and the rules that forbids two males from sleeping together originates from the old testament. But there are other rules that are listed and are considered anachronistic and are not being enforced - like slave owning rules, punishment for adultery etc.
Also, there are many stories in the bible describing unconventional relationships between a brother and a sister and between king David (before he was a king) and Jonathan (king Saul's son).

Most Jews do not read the bible as a literal rule book and there is a whole book of debates that tries to deal with the Jewish law and explain it (Talmud). In most cases the result of those debates is: Rabi no. 1 thinks that you should do x and Rabi no. 2 thinks you should do Y and you can choose which Rabi you agree with and follow.

I hope this helps

Thank you Im2718 for the great info. Also thanks to Zinnia for your comments. Interesting stuff! I love talking about religions & what people believe. I think everyone here at ATOP respects each other's opinions & viewpoints - that's what makes it such a great place. We can learn so much about each other's cultures.

So now back to our regularly scheduled services here at the Lambert Temple. Hopefully the High Priestess will tweet from the plane. ;D

Diversity makes life so much more interesting than the alternative. The alternative being everyone living in their own country and no mixing of races or religions. How boring the world must have been.

I am so loving that the Times article is on the Queen Rock Band blog. I think it adds even more credibility to a cemented relationship of some kind. So excited. It could not be more perfect - Adam as his own man in a rocket ship to the stratosphere as well as the go to front man for major events with Queen. Wow.

Happy Birthday QueeenAl, keylie and tbaker2167!!!

Stealing this! ;D Happy birthday to everyone!! You share bdays with some MAJORLY talented people, including Steven Spielberg, Brad Pitt and Christina Aguilera. (My famous bday peeps list is kind of meh...)

*whew* Just finished reading yesterday's thread and this one too. I was also very shocked to see that mika was listed as a guest. And was very worried that there was some kind of trouble ahead in the thread, but no, everything seemed fine. :-/

Welcome Blueberry and anyone else I might have missed. Thank you again everyone for all the birthday wishes. It was a great day. Had a wonderful time berting with my local Adam friends in the afternoon. Such an exciting time!! So much love for him all over.

As I left to go to my family/RL friend party, I glanced at Twitter and saw the Times article. OMG!!!! I should have read it right then and there, but I was afraid I'd be late, so was reading a couple of lines at a time when stopped at red lights.

It is GLORIOUS!!!

So excited about all these reviews!! I really hope this song will lay a proper foundation for both critical and commercial success for him. Going to be such an exciting time.

I am REALLY hoping for "X Factor." There are just too many variables that make it make complete sense, including:

• RCA/Sony connection
• Claude connection
• Single release being moved up to an unorthodox date
• Adam flying directly back to L.A. after Shanghai and NOT to Finland
• The silence about any single promo (sekrits and more sekrits)
• Simon/Paula connection
• His success helps validate the legitimacy of competition shows

Like most finales, XF has been very quiet about who would be performing. All the rumored people (save for Mariah and Bieber) have ended up on previous shows.

Bieber taped his performance last week and they DID bring in an audience for it. Some friends who have gone to many of the XF shows this year were trying for finale tickets. They received an invite to go to a "special taping" last week, but then found out it was for Bieber and took a pass. IF Adam is there, I don't think it will be taped, but live.

Ohh.. susie, I surely hope so he will be performing at XFactor so the Josh guy would actually hear Adam's AMAH-ZING AMAH-ZING VOICE LIVE. That guy said that AI's karaoke or sometin... everytime I remember that I feel like I want to smack the guy... sooooo I hope Adam's voice and the receptions of the people in the studio will smack him front and center... Ohhh and I hope they will ask Adam about performing with Queen on the EMA .. and their next project heee..

okay.. sorry for the ranting.. :-/

I am so ecstatic over the positive reviews about BTIKM. Over and over again you read about his incredible voice. The little snarky part of me wants to comment,

DUUUUHHHH!!!

The powerful, wonderful voice is referred to as a "given," like it is a known fact, not a discovery. "Yup, there is that signature Lambert voice we all love." Where the hell have you been for the past 3 years? You just now nabbed onto the fact that Adam is the best male singer in the world currently? And you are practicing revisionist history to say that the acknowledgement is retroactive?

Not complaining, mind you. I love the recognition.....FINALLY.

ABOUT DAMNED TIME!!

Words make you think a thought. Music makes you feel a feeling. A song makes you feel a thought.
