Just checked my onscreen Guide for TV shows and the EMA’s are listed and the time is 8:00pm. Here the channel is 29. I thought it would run for 3 hours but it’s a 2 hour show.
Thanks, mils. I have been listening to some Queen over the last few days of uncertainty…but I just don’t like it. Don’t like Queen, don’t get Freddie (but clearly his voice is amazing, regardless of my personal taste) – but that doesn’t matter, because I have all of you to be happy for. Not to mention that clearly Adam is over the moon.
So it’s all good, and I am prepared to flail!
I’m still a bit confused about the time element for tomorrow.
I originally thought it was going to be televised here on the east coast around 8 tomorrow evening. According to the recently posted updated televised schedule, it seems we may be scheduled for 4:00 in the afternoon. Ultimathule, adamized, and Kradamour…. you all live out in my area. Any thoughts here???
Good to see I am not the only one excited but so nervous for Adam,I feel sick.
He just has to do what we all know he is capable of and blow everyone away. Not just anyone would be asked to sing with Queen. They know and we know he is amazingly talented.
Thanks to Brian May for giving Adam this awesome opportunity.
Adam’s family, friends, and Sauli must be so proud.
Kradamour, I understand you not liking a band. I can think of several that no matter how much you listen it doesn’t help. For me Grateful Dead, Abba, Dave Matthews, Coldplay…these are or were all huge and I just didn’t get it.
Kradam, you gotta get on youtube and check out some Queen. Freddie is amaaaaaazing, the music still brilliant.
hmmm…trying to think what Queen song is big on the drums. Probably all of them!
Hi Ron!
Thanks so much for your input. It looks as though I am back to 8:00 for the TV viewing part. You are right in that we will most likely see it on YouTube first!!
This in The Mirror.

I’m so excited for the exposure Adam will get from this.
By the way that John Kearns didn’t tweet about any others singing with Queen.
nkd – do you know who John Kearns is?
dcglam – have Comcast in Prince George’s County. Thought it would be on one of the two MTV channels. I’ll check it out
OMG! My heart goes aflutter!

Happy Anniversary Sauli!! One year ago tonight we met in Helsinki!!! I love you! pic.twitter.com/9q2esciR
ADAM & SAULI…CONGRATULATIONS!!!!!
I’m crying happy tears right now.
Now that it’s pretty much public, I hope Adam tunes out everything and just sings. He can’t have that adrenalin take over him except in a good way. Please please universe let it all happen organically. The publicity is starting to sound like 2 yrs ago and it makes me so nervous for him.
Best I can tell, John Kearns has a morning radio show in London.
luval, I was thinking the same thing – this does bring back memories of November 2009. Hopefully Adam learned from that experience and will go out and kill it this time like we all know he can.
Aww – Adam’s tweet
So glad he is happy and in love. Hopefully Sauli will help keep him calm. IIRC, Adam and Drake had broken up before the AMAs in 2009.
Adam and Sauli last year!

Now back to which song(s) will Adam sing with QUEEN!!
nkd…that link didn’t open for me.
ultimathule…. I have FIOS out here in Fairfax. I am seeing channel 1660 listed for Tr3s and MTV. That happens to be a Spanish station, but I am still planning to check it out at 8:00 now.
Hi nkd!! Gonna put you on the spot.
Which one do you want Adam to sing? One pick, one choice … which one?
Kradam, Who Wants to Live Forever is one of the most beautiful and evocative songs by Queen, written by Brian May. Below is Freddie’s version, but I also included Sarah Brightman’s beautiful cover, which you might like.

I would absolutely LOVE for Adam to sing this, I think he would just sing it better than anyone – he could reach the higher notes that Freddie didn’t quite.
This!

kradamour, don’t know if you found these samples, but thought you MAY enjoy these two links. The first one just sounds so celestial to me. I BELIEVE Freddie may have written the opera-type songs. I know she asked him to write some songs for them to sing together. Freddie was just like no other–way ahead of his time and his own person. That’s why Adam seems so like him, so many of his mannerisms and (seemingly)his thought processes in writing. JMO.

Well hi Ron!
I want Adam to sing all of them! But if I had to choose…Under Pressure if Bowie is there because that would be the ultimate for Adam. But you just can’t beat Bohemian Rhapsody, the best song ever! We only heard Adam in a short clip at the auditions. But then, Killer Queen is great, and Play the Game…
riskylady, you hit on my very favorite Queen song.
See if this one works luval. It’s Adam with his hands on Sauli’s face in Helsinki.

NVM I don’t think that one works either. IDK!

Adam is in a lot better place than he was 2 years ago with the AMA’s. He has a Grammy nod, and almost sold out tour, a new album coming out, lots of shows he was a guest on, so people believed in him, A great boyfriend, everything is going his way, he was kinda in a bad way before the AMA’s and felt he had something to prove, now he only needs to entertain, with a Historic band, and support from around the world, it cant get any better for him, and I cant wait for the world to see him, because he is going to have a performance that will be talked about for years.
This will be something I think that will change his life and future. Now lets all hold hands and think happy thoughts for Adam! I am so happy and proud for him!!!!!!!!
Yes! Miss Chaos!
I’m with you there, nkd! Also very much like riskylady’s and Ceddies (HI Ceddies!) choice.
Maybe we should all place our bets and guess which song Adam will sing. The winner will receive that ever elusive but always desireable … toaster oven!
What’s Adam’s favorite Queen song?
Who has the toaster oven now? I lost track of it!
I know, Ceddies, it is just plain gorgeous and great for showing off a wonderful voice and range. I also love Love of My Life and Don’t Stop Me Now.
This is just so emotional:

And just to add, THIS is how you accompany someone on guitar!
Miss Chaos, thanks for your calming words, lol. I’m “alot” late to the party, but what a treat to sit down with my laptop after a long day to this amazing news.
Initial reaction: Flashbacks of November 2009. But like others have said, I’m positive that Adam is now in a better space personally and has learned from his prior, overly-hyped TV appearance. This is such exciting news; everything about it is perfect. So excited for him and for us.
nkd, what time should you and I be tuning in tomorrow?
I lost track of it, too. I think AL has it. He must have about 6 of them by now.
Miss Chaos…the voice of reason…thank you!
Good question nkd, don’t think he’s ever been asked that.
Wonder what last year’s viewership for the EMA’s was?
Hi there, Ron! Did you happen to check out the second link that I posted above? You possibly may have already been familiar with those opera songs. I really like them but didn’t hear too much publicity about them.
I feel confident that we have nothing to worry about, luval. Adam has grown so much both professionally and personally since he was let loose from the Idol gate two years ago. Yes, eywflyer, I, too, feel he will kill it this time around.
I never heard Love of my Life. In fact I never heard many many of Queen’s songs…just the popular top 40 ones.
From an old twitter party!
Oh and I believe it was glambotgram who won the toaster oven for being the 10,000th post. I do have a few extras that I can share though!
How about this one for today/tonight:
http://youtu.be/RG_kerFL6yE
Texas, do you have MTV3? It airs on that at 5pm CT. As for the stream, gee, I just don’t know anymore!
I think if it’s at 9pm GMT, that will be 3pm CT for the stream and 2pm for the pre-show.
Hi AL!! You’re right! It’s glambotgram!
Dear glambotgram, give it back!
Question – should we have a special separate thread for the EMAs, or keep the chat tomorrow here in the November monthly thread? The philosophy here has been that we would not have separate threads for every TV appearance, but this may be a special case given the magnitude of this event. What do you guys think?
jlurksacto, Oh yes, this one, One Year of Love, is perfect. Thanks for bringing this over.
Dear nkd and luval, Why don’t we simplify things? I think you should both come to Toronto and watch it at my place. We KNOW it’s on here at 8:00PM.
Just a thought.
Hi Ceddies
Yes, I watched both of the Links. Thanks for posting them!
Luval, did you listen to the link I posted above of Love of My Life? It’s so emotional because Freddie started to become very sick after this concert in 1986, but the huge crowd just loves him.
We know that Adam learns from his mistakes and doesn’t make the same one twice. I’m not worried at all, truly. I think he will kill it and his performance will in fact herald the second important stage in his career after Idol.
Re time – I agree (hope!) that it will be youtubed before the taped showing at 8 pm, especially since I won’t be able to watch at 8, with no TV!
Re Queen – thank you for the links, guys. I listened and really tried to like it. But I just don’t. And that’s okay! This isn’t about Queen, it is about Adam. And THERE, I have no hesitation at all!

Can’t wait until tomorrow!
