Fantastic news day -- just caught up on the thread. Whew! Gonna take the Queen news very lightly until there is some official confirmation. Why would RCA tweet something about Queen and then take it down? Makes no sense. Although, I think if Adam were to sing with them again it would be more of an honor for him to represent Freddie -- I don't think he'd be thinking about cross over advantages, etc. The video -- LOVE IT. I really do like BTIKM. It's in my head more days then not. I really hope the video gives him a sales boost. I loved reading everyone's comments this a.m. I couldn't believe how upset I felt when I saw Good Adam gasping for air near the end of the video. I was like, THEY'RE NOT GONNA KILL HIM, ARE THEY??!!! Sorta like the end of My Dog of Flanders.........I may have been the only one on here to have seen that one Stellar flailing to everyone. RL calls me to my vacuum and the laundry -- weekend guests!

As regards the air canisters- I think they were looking for some way to show the connection between the two rooms/Adams. Could have been something umbilical or something like this shared air supply. Not that we wouldn't know anyway but maybe it was a clear effort to make even the most dense person see- maybe they thought folks wouldn't get why light Adam is passing out because of a fire next door, LOL. I agree, Buders. I think the whole scenario is going on inside Adam's brain, or psyche, and of course both sides are present and share the same air. I was thinking some more about the vid, and it occurred to me that both Adams are kind of impotent. Light Adam is all goody-goody and doing all these "good for you" things, but he's still trapped. He looks outside but he can't leave. Dark Adam is violent and destructive, but he can't really destroy himself-- not even with fire. He messes up his makeup but in the next moment it's perfect again. All the passion and power is in Dark Adam, but without a purpose, it's just flailing. Light Adam tries all these different ways to "tame" Dark Adam. He tries to sweetly coax him, he tries to ignore him, he tries to sweep (Dark Adam's messiness?) away. He meditates and loses himself in music. He even tries to win him over with logic (chess). But nothing works, I think because Light Adam was not accepting Dark Adam-- shaking his head, judging him. It was Dark Adam who had the power to bring them together, and that power was compassion. Compassion towards Light Adam, and on another level, the compassion that a person should have for themselves. There was a moment near the end when Dark Adam draws back and I was scared that he was going to leave Light Adam to die. But instead he was just gathering his strength to break down the wall and reach out gently to his other side. Have I said how much I love this video????!!!!! Usually I agree, that Adam doesn't want to read message boards. But today I wish he would lurk here, to see how much we appreciate him and his art and his soul/mind/thoughts/?. And that we get him. He definitely should read THIS^^^^ Maybe someone on his staff collects the glorious posts for him. *hopes*

Oh, my. This is definitely a force five hurricane today. The EPIC (sorry, but no other word for it) MV that, IMHO, blows away other pop videos. The news, apparently now confirmed by RCA, that Adam will do a series of performances with Queen in Europe this summer, a showcase happening in just a few minutes now, right? But, do not miss the interview with John Kearns that I posted a couple of pages ago. soundcloud.com/galechester/long-version-john-kearns-showVery good interview. No nonsense about Idol, gay, gay, eyeliner, meeting Madonna, bar brawls etc. Mentions the EMAs, and focuses on the MUSIC. Two things made me pause and think. First, was the host's comment that Adam is getting accolades for 'THE VOICE', and Adam's acknowledgement that this IS his signature, IS the core of his music, and he is making sure that it is highly featured. I know he has said this repeatedly, but I never tire of hearing it, and the way he acknowledged its importance put a smile on my face. The second thing was when the host asked what the non-performing Adam does with his days, and Adam repeated his comment about being boring. The really serious, passionate, dedicated musicians I know (and I imagine this is true for all artists) LIVE for their music. It consumes their day and their thoughts. Just like we Adam fans tend to experience everyday events and link them to something about Adam, artists see and hear art in everyday events. The artist's brain rarely shuts off or gets diverted. Their art, and the art of others around them, is not only their profession, it is their hobby, their constant companion, what gets their adrenalin flowing, what arouses them, what pacifies them. It is obsessive/compulsive, in a way. So, Adam's statement does not surprise me at all, once I think about it. Cassie thank you so much for the link. I was on the verge of asking about the interview because I missed it and I didn't see it being discussed. I agree with your take, it is a great interview and the voice discussion is exciting.I am so glad Adam is very aware that his voice is his main gift and that his fans appreciate it. Very happy to hear again that it will be the highlight of this album.
