Does anyone else remember at what point it looked like Roger was fighting back tears while he was drumming? Pure guess, Show Must Go On? |

Thank you to our Tutka ladies, Zinnia and Mia! That was laugh out loud funny--I loved it when they couldn't lock the car doors! That car has been its own adventure. Beautiful scenery. Love you guys!
Now back to our continuing coverage of Kiev flailing! (I'm on view 6, no 7). I hope this is the worldwide breakthrough that our Adam deserves!

I saw that yesterday, along with a photo of the DVD, but since there wasn't a link to purchase it, I assumed a skilled fan made it for themselves. |

Haribert, should I congratulate you? Are you going to go? Oh, HELL YEAH I'm gonna be there!!!  Yes, it's only a state fair, but - Arizona is a VERY conservative state and last time Adam was here for the GNT, he played a theatre that accommodates 3,000 and has no seats. The venue for this show, Veterans Memorial Coliseum, is 5 times larger, so it's progress! (Still, I wish he were playing at University of Phoenix Stadium - though my chances of getting good seats at the Coliseum are much better.) |

www.ology.com/post/132021/watch-adam-lambert-fail-to-ruin-bohemian-rhapsody-with-queenOkay, so a lot of us (myself included) scoffed when word broke that American Idol runner-up (and rightful winner… I don't even watch and even I know that) Adam Lamber would be joining Queen on tour this summer as de facto frontman, filling the very intimidating shoes of the late Freddie Mercury. To be fair, though, who else out there has both the chops, stage presence, and, um… visual flair to really do justice to Mercury's irreplaceably unique joie de vivre? A hologram? Get outta town.
Almost can't believe I'm admitting this, but I actually would've rather heard Lambert sing the entire song. I mean, the Freddie Mercury projections are a nice touch, but Adam more than nailed his parts and would've (I think) done a great job during the trademark breakdown section, which, best as I could tell, was done entirely from tape. I know, lame, right? Get a men's choir up there and do it for real! Apart from that, the band sounded great; Brian May especially seems to get better and better with each year.
Verdict? Yes, I'd like some bread, lettuce and cheese for these words… Adam Lambert is the perfect personality (and voice) to bring Queen's music on stage this summer. Slap a fake mustache on him and you wouldn't know the difference!

I absolutely love this one, you can really hear the crowd singing during the chorus of WWTLF. This song, alone, is what is compelling me to travel all the way to London, I cannot wait to hear this voice soar live!!! I'm not sure I will recover :-/
I have watched the video of WWTLF more times than I can count in the last 2 days. I thought I had gotten over my emotional response but this short fan video brought tears to my eyes AGAIN. Indescribably beautiful. |

(although the chances of that happening are about as unlikely as him singing with Quee .... um, never mind.) |

Looks to me like Adam is gaining converts more than one at a time... maybe one venue at a time... :  |
