underthegunreview.net/2012/02/03/holy-sht-adam-lambert-is-the-temporary-new-frontman-of-queen/HOLY SH!T: ADAM LAMBERT IS THE (TEMPORARY) NEW FRONTMAN OF QUEEN
Former American Idol contestant turned relatively successful pop star Adam Lambert has confirmed he is set to join Queen as the band’s new frontman for a tour this summer. While this may come as a shock to some, those familiar with Lambert’s career may not be so surprised. Lambert, who is set to release his Sophomore solo album this March, was joined by Brian May and Roger Taylor during his finale performance on AI in 2009, and again at MTV European Music Awards later that year. The tour is set to begin in May, but no tour dates or ticket prices have been revealed. Speaking with Britain’s Daily Star, Lambert said: “The intention is to pay tribute to Freddie and the band by singing some f–king great songs. It’s to keep the music alive for the fans and give it an energy that Freddie would have been proud of.” more..

Skylar, this ^^^ and your earlier analysis rock! (As did NoAngel's). I am so enjoying reading everything today! This is all so interesting. I had not considered the extra layer of symbolism regarding society. It ties in in so many ways. One aspect that comes to mind is how the Internet has brought both the light and dark side of the human mind into our faces. (As in the comments controversy on Lyndsey's blog). Darkness in the fandom itself. How do we face this dark side? Back to the personal side. I can't see the Jungian meaning applying here (as far as the dark side "winning"). To me it seems that Dark Adam is begging for acceptance. His eyes are full of anger and desperation (when did Adam get to be such a good actor?!). But no matter what he does, he doesn't get the results he wants from Light Adam. Light Adam is a sweet guy ... but he doesn't seem to understand Dark Adam at all. As your analysis says, perhaps he doesn't really want to, because facing Dark Adam is too scary and shameful. He reacts with exasperation and even disgust to Dark Adam's escalating antics ... finally seeming to recognize the seriousness of the situation, he tries the chess game. He doesn't seem to realize that Dark Adam is tortured beyond the reach of reason. It is interesting to me that Dark Adam reels back as if afraid, as NoAngel said. ("If I give in to you, will you tame me and thus destroy what makes me unique?"). Again, as you said, a sort of answer to those who wondered/wonder why Adam cannot be more tame, more like everyone else. He destroys the gift of the pomegranate (BTW, so relieved to learn it was not a real heart!). He rejects the love he yearns for rather than be tamed. Instead he burns himself with the lighter and finally resorts to a mad mindless act that will destroy them both. What is amazing is when he then decides that he doesn't want Light Adam to die. He is ultimately the strong one -- Light Adam needs him as much as the reverse. That's fascinating! Love talking with you about this! I don't think the media will ever get who the "Glamberts" are. On the one hand that angers me like anyone else. On the other I like it. No press/media etc. would ever take the time to appreciate the above as it deserves. Glamberts always will!!! ETA: THANK. YOU. BOTH. for voicing my thoughts so eloquently. It has just occurred to me that the light Adam/conscious Adam was the one to reach out to his shadow side. He faced him, spoke to him, and even tried to play chess with him. So he was aware. So I think I was wrong to suggest that according to Jung, in this video the light Adam ended up the servant of dark Adam.

Anyone notice that the horse bookend flips between having books and not having them? Also, is that horse supposed a chess piece?Thats what I thought or at least repeats the imagery. Thanks! Forgot to mention that I LOVE THIS VIDEO!!!!! His best one so far (my previous favorite being FYE). I think I've viewed it about 30 times now and I keep seeing something new each time. Really makes you think.

RollingStone Rolling Stone American Idol alum Adam Lambert is the new lead singer of Queen: bitly.com/AnKyVO1 minute ago Adam Lambert Is Queen's New SingerDiehard fan was backed by Queen members in his 'Idol' finale By Rolling Stone February 3, 2012 2:20 PM ET Adam Lambert is apparently the new singer for Queen, replacing the American Idol winner's own late idol, Freddie Mercury. Lambert broke the news to the U.K.'s Daily Star. more.. I'm kinda worried that this is all like a big game of telephone...that somewhere along the line someone misinterpreted what Adam said and it just keeps growing and growing. Just hope he doesn't end up getting backlash if it doesn't turn out to be true.

MTV MTV BRAND NEW @adamlambert video 'Better Than I Know Myself' -- check it out >> at.mtv.com/zwb buzzworthy.mtv.com/2012/02/03/adam-lambert-better-than-i-know-myself-video/+ Watch Adam Lambert's "Better Than I Know Myself" video after the jump. The cinematography is lush and vibrant, nicely capturing the juxtaposition between the light and dark sides of Adam's personality -- and that's exactly what Adam's said Trespassing is all about, so the video serves as an ideal introduction for what fans should expect on the album. Most importantly, though, it gives us an opportunity to ogle at his ridiculously covetable style. Dramatic leather trench with angular lapels? Yes, please. Or at the very least, can we borrow that grandpa sweater? Once we cool down from watching this video, that is.more LOL "Dark-and-gloomy Adam is guzzling booze, throwing furniture, and staring at the camera with an expression of total spiritual depletion (he's like one of the "Real Housewives of New Jersey"!), while light-and-angelic Adam is making a nice pot of tea, writing in his journal, and probably meditating on how lucky he is to be super-talented and hot and famous. (Just a guess, guys.) " I heart Sam Lansky so much <3 <3 <3

And I love the pomegranate, I don't know the poem that mika was reffering to, but the thought of using the pomegranate in reference to the Greek mythology is so interesting to me. Persephone , Half a year in the underworld half a year up in the living world. I have to remember to ask Adam at a twitter party and I really hope he will answer . When I saw that, my first thought was oh noooo pomegranate juice stains like crazy.. and his beautiful leather coat.. but I noticed they protected his jacket right at the wrists in case of drippage. ;D
