Adam Lambert a 'great interpreter' of Freddie
www.musicrooms.net/rock/45803-Adam-Lambert-a-%26%23039%3Bgreat-interpreter%26%23039%3B-of-Freddie%E2%80%8E.htmlQueen say Adam Lambert will be a "great Interpreter" of Freddie Mercury's songs at Sonisphere. The 'We Will Rock You' group confirmed on Monday (20.02.12) they will headline the rock festival in July, with former American Idol contestant Adam taking the place of late frontman Freddie - who passed away in 1991 - and guitarist Brian May is sure he can step up to the challenge. Speaking at last night's (21.02.12) BRIT Awards, he told BANG Showbiz: "I think all the vibes will be good. And I'm, sure that if Freddie was around, or if he is around then he'll appreciate what we're doing, because its interpreting those songs and those songs should live. "A lot of those songs are Freddie's and you've got a great interpreter there in Adam. It will be challenging - my God, it will be challenging, but you've got to set yourself big hurdles to get over really, that's what life is about." ...more

elliegf: Today's issue of BRAVO Bulgaria has a gorgeous poster of Adam twitpic.com/8n5q7q and a tiny other (cont) www.twitlonger.com/show/g29df7Today's issue of BRAVO Bulgaria has a gorgeous poster of Adam twitpic.com/8n5q7q and a tiny other picture showing his ~other talents twitpic.com/8n5ocxTranslation of the text: HIDDEN TALENTS He doesn't only have an incredible voice (Queen legends have invited him to 'replace' Freddie after all!), but he obviously is doing pretty well in the drawing department as well. Especially for BRAVO Adam (30) made his own portrait. Then he asked, smiling 'Does it even look like me??' And the answer is 'Yes, Adam, kinda'.... For the Readers of BRAVO the Better Than I Know Myself singer drew him self for you! :D

Is anyone familiar with the children's story about the Rainbow Fish? It is a very popular allegory about not thinking you are better than everyone else, but sharing your attributes with others in order for them to accept you and be your friend. A very good lesson for kids. However, something about the story always bothered me. See, the Rainbow Fish WAS the most beautiful fish in the ocean, with gorgeous jewel-toned scales. All the other fish wanted his scales. In order to be accepted by them, the Rainbow Fish gives each of the other fish a beautiful scale, until he only has one left--- the same amount as all the other fish. Then, they all play happily together. It seems to me that the story is not saying you need to share yourself with others as much as it is saying you must strip yourself of your individuality and beauty in order to "fit in." You must make everyone equal - even tho' it requires you to painfully extract the very thing that makes you the special person you are. Why am I writing about the Rainbow Fish on Adamtopia? Because it seems to me that there are those out there who do not like Adam, will not play with Adam (or play his songs) BECAUSE Adam is uniquely himself, uniquely beautiful. In order to get his songs played on the radio he has to strip himself of those unique qualities in order to sound like everything else on the radio. I would much rather Adam stay true to himself and make his kind of music his way, even if it means he does not become a mega-star with songs playing every hour and soaring up to the top of the charts. I would much prefer that Adam gets the critical acclaim and recognition and has healthy sales and a reasonable profit. I'm not saying it is an "either/or" situation. There is always the possibility that his unique voice and musicianship will catch on and rage thru the pop music world like wild-fire. But, if it doesn't, I never want him to compromise his voice, his style, his musicianship in order to look/sound like every other fish in the sea. IMHO. YMMV Cassie you said what I have been thinking so beautifully..The Rainbow Fish says it all. I feel Adam's pain.. It's right there in his description of Trespassing.. what he has said many times in interviews.. to paraphrase: that in spite of being an outsider and having people not want him around(music business) fuck them he's coming in. Adam seems to have gotten caught up in the competitive nature of the business.. IMHO, He wants the trappings of success and he wants it bad.I understand the rationale of playing the game ,so that eventually you can become famous and then finally will be able to be creative and unique. The truth is that many of us fell in love with Adam for his uniqueness,creativity and balls to the wall attitude to begin with. No makeup,I do love him without it,songs that are generic,placating Djs ,RCA,etc. at what point will Adam no longer recognize himself?? Is it worth it to sell your soul to the devil.. Only Adam can answer that. Of course he has RCA and a contract to also answer to. In the meantime,when the next single comes out,I wish with all my heart that Adam's label will let him go for it.. release an over the top 'real' Adam ,self written song. At this point what do they have to lose? IMHO they have everything to gain.. Because stripping that Rainbow Fish is just WRONG! |

Guys... Can we imagine if Adam hit the AI stage and then Ryan bring up about Queen performance??? Do you think he's going to ask the question?? I mean AI should be proud of it too, coz they're the one who first introduced Queen to Adam.

Thank you for all the links and info, Gelly :-)
I'm going to try and find the poplick magazine tomorrow. It's apparently an insert in a free paper that is available in train stations and other places. As I don't usually travel by train, I'm not sure if I can find it in other places. If I do, I will try to get more than one if anyone wants one.
I'm really not sure about whether to get a ticket to the Sonisphere thing. On the one hand, London is "quite" close to me and I think I could get a plane ticket with a bit of luck via my job. On the other hand, I'm not good with crowds and I can't afford the vip ticket. But a big draw for me would be meeting all of you - that would be so great :-)
I just don't know what to do....

Only Adam can answer that. Of course he has RCA and a contract to also answer to. Wow, melliemom, I think that that is putting things very strongly. I do not believe for one minute that this feels remotely like selling your soul to the devil to Adam. Just look at him, truly look at him: he is doing what he loves, connecting with people, getting his message out + he looooves pop(ular) music, he states that over and over. ETA: obviously I still do not know how to correctly quote parts of a quote, sorry  Read more: adamtopia.com/index.cgi?board=daily&action=display&thread=738&page=5#ixzz1n77Jx9FR |
