dcglam is correct, just because a single gets sent to radio doesn’t mean it will get any significant airplay. In this case I would imagine it will get a few random spins here and there, draw either little response or negative response, then get quickly dropped.
I actually sent a tweet complimenting a local radio station for their AL EMA gallery on their website. A small attempt to negate any negative fan responses they might receive about BFM.

It would be
unbearableironic if THIS is the first Adam single I actually hear on the radio here…I can’t help feeling it will all work out for the best.

Our posts have been so interesting today! Nice to have new bones to chew on…or suede shoes, lol…
Okay, peeps…time for bed, gotta get up at 5 to take soldier son to airport, he is going to be in the vet’s day parade in NYC with a friend, plus other visits.
Sweet Adam dreams, y’all!
ETA: nekkid, I think it is really important that we do these little positive things while the bastard CD shakes out and there is negativity out there. Brava!
agathe.hb, thanks for the link to the official MTV video! I was able to embed it in the post above, great sound quality!
ETA: Oh wow – if you click on the little bar icon in the lower right corner you can switch it to HD video mode – looks fantastic!
awww ok Kradamour! That’s awesome for your son! Tell him I say Thank you for defending our freedom and our country!
Sweet Adam dreams to you too! Goodnight Kradamour!
Wow! It did reach 1.2 billion. I’m not sure that’s official, but that’s a lot of people to see our Adam.
WOOHOO,nkd!!!! What a way to end the evening.
Just saw that MJ’s has a list of all the people choice award nominations – no Adam anywhere
I have a theory as to why no loved ones accompanied Adam for this momentous event. This was a big deal for him. Right?
“& that this upcoming project will take you on a wild ride!”
I’m dreaming big, but I don’t think that the upcoming project is the new album. I’m just hanging on and I’m probably wrong in my conjecture, which I may share later! Adam is so cryptic with his tweets. It’s like a puzzle all the time, always piecing together the clues!
This is the only tweet from the series of last nights tweets that Tommy retweeted.
Nkd, do tell!
My theory at the moment is that Adam may be tempted to join Queen for a short tour (not permanently) after all, especially after the triumph Sunday night. It would give him the opportunity to perform highly dramatic sets in enormous stadium venues, which has to be an exciting prospect for him to consider. Frankly, it would also bring him some considerable $$$, which are probably needed considering all the recording he has done for this album, and now possible legal costs to boot.
Just my own wild theory…
My theory runs along with yours eywflyer. I think he may be planning on joining them for a short anniversary tour. Maybe we’ll know something soon. We could be way off base though! And OMG, he was born to sing that music. I cannot stop listening to that performance!
Nkd, ITA about that being the type of music and performance Adam was born to do! I know he likes pop/dance, that classic rock doesn’t get played as much, that it would be hard for an Idol alum to break into the rock world etc. But, his voice is so perfect on those huge sweeping rock anthems! I mean, who else can sing like that? I place Sunday night’s TSMGO right up there with the very best of Adams performances all time, I’m talking Fantasy Springs WLL, Valley Musical Theater benefit Heaven on Their Minds level. Even more amazing, apparently his earpiece wasn’t working so he sang that without being able to hear himself or the band very well.
Hi everyone — a few tidbits…
A little tidbit of Adam after the EMAs – Adam is at 2:28

Beautiful photo of Adam and Sauli from the Supper Club (Sauli posted it in his blogpost):

EMA Pink carpet clips – Adam is at :25 and :40:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ekw6lqET3Ik&feature=feedu
There was discussion upthread about the possibility that Adam/Queen really did perform Under Pressure and that it was cut from the broadcast. Not possible. Remember on Sunday that we were all watching the LIVESTREAM? Livestreams are just that – they are unedited streams of what is happening live. If Adam & Queen had actually performed Under Pressure, we would have seen it on the livestream, even if it was later cut from a broadcast.
And of course, the fact that videos from those in the audience contain only the snippet of Under Pressure before We Will Rock You starts just confirms that. Apparently Queen just wanted to throw that little Under Pressure riff in there for fun – maybe they just really like that riff!

Snippet of “I love Queen, because I am a queen and I will always be a queen” on youtube:

Another music visit in London, this time with 4Music:
Eywflyer and nkd…all I have to say is don’t you ever sleep?
Thanks cwm … for all the goodies. Love them!!!
This one is so hilarious …my fav.
Another way we can look at this is it was scheduled to be performed but Queen cut it out because the show was running long.
I also agree that touring with Queen is probably being considered. I would love to see what he could do to some of the other Queen songs. His voice is totally suited and just think of the new fans he will pick up.
Now, WHAT??? He is master teaser I say…
Ok does everyone have their seat belts attached because I think the wild ride he promised is about to begin!
I was just about to bring that tweet over. What do you guys think…It must be pretty major. She sounds really excited.
It was Adam’s tweet to Alisan. It’s him who is excited…
This is really annoying!
OMG What could Adam be so excited about, what can it possibly be, come on, there has to be guesses, I have no idea! He does this knowing everyone is going to read it!
nkd and eywflyer, I sure hope your theories are right! I would LOVE to hear Adam perform more of this iconic music with Queen – some of the best contemporary music ever written, IMO of course. What a chance of a lifetime!
Just had my morning coffee and enjoyed several replays of the EMA performance, a routine I don’t see changing in the foreseeable future
. I still can’t believe how amazing it was. He just killed it and I’m so proud and happy for him.
PINK suede shoes?
He heard he is playing at Wembley with Queen.
Thanks, cwm, I had not thought of this. And, just the few riffs of Under Pressure is all it takes for folks (those who were familiar with Queen’s work) to know what the song was. So it was almost (well, not really) like them having done the song.
ETA: Maybe it was a tease in the way of reminding us and making us want more, more, more of what they were giving us.
Didya watch Brian’s face as Adam was saying this? That was priceless!
Would love for the snippet to be five seconds longer, it almost certainly was followed by one of Adam’s delicious laughs!
PINK suede shoes, Oksana? LOLOLOL!
Monday morning I slogged through 8 pages of Google links to articles/reviews of the EMA’s, from every imaginable country you can think of, and I would say 97% were positive, with maybe about 90% positive comments. One annoying thing was the comments on YouTube constantly harping about trying to step into Freddie’s shoes, spamming Marc Martel (the Christian band guy competing for the Tribute Band), but worst, saying that Paul Rodgers should have sung and “sings” better. WTF?
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uJfvMRREeD0
He doesn’t so much as sing, he sort of talks/sings. And, look at Brian’s expression, almost a grimace.
Now I think I understand why Brian fell so in love with Adam’s voice. And, doesn’t Brian May deserve to hear his beautiful sweeping rock anthems sung this way once again, by a voice that can match his guitar florishes? He looked so joyful – how he must relish having this stunning creature on stage singing with such power and emotion!
I think this performance is the most iconic of Adam’s iconic performances (there are several already). Can’t stop watching it, hope I don’t wear out my DVD!
I kind of worry about the strain on his voice, though, with Queen.
On another note, I’m not a fan of Katy Perry’s live singing, but she does put on a very entertaining show. But I just love how sweet she is to Adam, wherever they meet she greets him and poses with him. I thought she looked very cute, and her behavior was miles better than Gaga (fake sobbing, stupid hat covering face, sitting in front of Brian May and Roger Taylor in the audience and blocking their view and ignoring their protests, per British newspapers). She sings well, though.
Well, we know Adam likes to tease. Maybe his response was to her tweet…
…nothing cryptic although only Adam and Alisan know for sure!
Maybe Alisan is auditioning for something?
So Adams case file has be made public, anyone able to comprehend it, I know nada about law matters.
Does anyone know where can you view the case file? I’ve been looking for it.
There is a link on MJs

Check out the second picture – Adam wearing a flame. Very creative. And, oh yeah, HOT!
A clue as to which thread? I’m just not seeing it.
ETA Found it.

Nkd, thanks for the case file link. I see that one of the commenters on MJs is saying this is not a big deal, I tend to agree from first reading. I see no claim made to Adam’s current works with RCA.
My initial take is that that Colwel and company will get to release the album and make whatever money from it they can. Otherwise don’t see much coming from this.
Hopefully Kradamour can give us an expert opinion later on.
Has this GORGEOUS picture been posted?

Me, too, but Adam has a lot of experience with touring/strain now. I think he will protect his voice, and it appears that the possibility of a short tour – and it’s only a possibility in OUR minds, lol – would not be a terrible long-term strain.
Katy can’t sing live but she is def adorable and intellectually bright.
I will always love the pic of the Adam Lambert cape on Idol.

Awesome! Adam’s finally getting airplay in the UK.
Still reading through this file! Not a lawyer.
If he were to do a short tour with Queen, there probably would be a few days in between concerts, and just not that many. I think his voice will be fine.
It is fine, isn’t it?!!!
11/9/10 – the Glam Nation Tour plays the sold out Debaser Medis in Stockholm, Sweden:
http://www.adamlambertlive.org/2011/gnt-stockholm-sweden-110910
I was also thinking about Adam’s voice during a potential (although still unlikely) Queen tour. Although the sets would be considerably longer than he is used to (2 hours or more I’d think), and there would be considerable workload for his voice in each set, there would be a much smaller number of shows, and I highly doubt there would be more than one or two shows at most in any given week. Nothing like the 4 to 5 shows a week that the GNT averaged for long stretches, or the total of 113 live shows (without a single cancellation!) that Adam logged between 6/4/10 and 12/16/10.
Adam couldn’t belt out every single song at 110% power like he did TSMGO at the EMAs, but with reasonable care I think he would be fine.
Unrelated note – looks like AO got their site up and running again. Appeared that they lost their database for a few days there – including the day of the EMAs. Murphy’s Law of websites – this site was down for an hour during Adam’s Moscow concert due to a server crash (not related to this site) at the web hosting company.
Re Adam’s voice and Queen and tour – I don’t know anything about Queen, but I assume that Freddy Mercury toured with them? and did his voice hold out? Just thought I’d throw that out there.
If they play big venues, they may have some days off between shows as well. So time to relax his voice.
The thought that this may be true, but they may not end up anywhere near me is sorta killing me. On the plus side: travel!
omg if this tour happens…stubhub here I come.
We should be Adam’s management!
Not so sure about that! How would he survive the 2-3 hours of M&G’s we would schedule for ourselves at each concert.
