Morning everyone and thanks for the get well wishes. Much appreciated.
I think we all agree that Adam is a natural mentor. rs, love your fantasy. Not at all far fetched IMO. Afterall didn’t he just produce and star in one of the most creative and fun stage shows ever? I would love Adam to direct and star in a movie some day. Just imagine seeing his face on a large screen.
The whole BFM/Monte thing is so upsetting. Seems that BFM is being sent all over the world. You have to hope that people don’t think it sucks since it is associated with him. Can’t win for losing.
I’ve been thinking about The Show Must Go On. I’m looking at it (in my mind, of course) as Adam’s new single. Out in November. And as Randy Jackson said on Idol after WLL “you could go out right now, make a record and go straight to number one”. Or something like that. Does anyone think this song could be recorded now and be relevant in today’s music industry? I’ll bet Queen wouldn’t mind!!
Fantastic idea luval! How do we make it happen? So many people love it already and would want a really good recording. And Adam could make some money from it, which would be a nice added bonus. Has anybody tweeted the idea to him?
Funny you should call him a glambaby! When we were at the hospital I noticed glitter on his head, lol. Thought he might have had a famous visitor but alas it was just the glitter off of his sisters shirtl
Thank you turquoiswaters, cher, HK fan
I’ll tweet Adam as soon as I get home. Am at the dentist right now. Glad you like my idea, rs. Adam/queen are now number one on MTV’s most viewed videos!
rainbowgal…my deepest sympathy for the loss of your mother. My thought and prayers for your partner’s good health. May both of you have many many Adam’s concerts to enjoy forever.
Ceddies, my thought and prayers are with your mother also. Hope that our love and concerns here ease your pain and worries.
For all of us here, we double our joys together, like nkd and glambotgram cerebrated their grandkids, and PlanetFierce moved on to the new place, new adventure.
And we here help divide and ease the aches and pain and any suffering one must have.
Though, this is virtual friendship, the sincerity is real.
Love you all.
A beautiful post, asif.
I can’t add anything betterer.
Best wishes and love to Ceddies and rainbowgal.
Ceddies, in a couple of days there will be a little surprise in the usps mail. Something small to look forward to from Adamized and me.
How nicely said and how true. Thank you so much asifclueless, kradamour, cher and HK fan for caring.
Yes partner is an Adam fan. She supports so many of my interests and loves his music. She’s not the music buff I am. I’ve always been attracted to singers with a good voice. Which makes my play tune list sometimes really limited. Pretty much it has to be people who can sing live. Although I enjoy someone like Katy Perry (just for fun)I don’t spend much of my money on those types of singers.
I laughed over the idea of seeing Adam on ITAS with Lipton. Let’s hope Lipton is still around when that time comes!!
Off now to my second favorite toy store (Adam always comes first) Menards!! LOL
It’s difficult to lose one’s mother – mine died two years ago after being hit with a very bad stroke that had kept her incapacitated for months. She had been the focus of our large family and her loss was hard to take. The death of someone like my mom takes so much family history with it. My deepest sympathies, rainbowgal.
To everyone who has expressed illness or loss of loved ones, and everyone who reads these comments going through the same thing, I hope you have the strength to get through it.
The thoughts of many are with you.
To our new oma’s on the site, and maybe some opa’s?, I hope you have the best time evah!
On a different note, and waaaaay late, I don’t understand the negativity on the vibrato during Adam’s performance with Queen. After the first notes I thought he was somewhat mimicking Freddie, since in my mind the latter used the same kind of vibrato. It may have been a bit more subtle, but I definitely hear it.
Am I the only one?
I can see it from Adam fans, since he doesn’t usually sing like that, but there are Freddie fans who bash it as well.
mieps, I like the vibrato now (wasn’t sure at first) and if you listen to the few different videos that have been posted, in some you can hear it more than others. I wonder what it sounded like to someone who was actually there and not through a video cam?
It’s definitely interesting how things can sound so different when heard through different media. Mils’ comment on the Starlight performance (chipmunk on TV, but not on video) made me think back to the Idol tour. I had driven 16 hours to see Adam, sat through everybody else (that sounds more negative than it should, I really enjoyed almost everyone. I might have even enjoyed Danny, but I wasn’t paying attention to him since I was getting too excited by what would happen next…!), only to get chipmunk Adam
I came away a big Allison fan though, she sounded fantastic 
Of course I got over it, and the video’s of Vancouver were great, so I had plenty of time to recreate my memory.
This just came across twitter. The article by John Kearns, for The Irish News, about the Adam and Queen performance. It was out earlier in the week but not readable from the pic available. You will still need your magnifying readers!

Look at this lovely!

That article says it all.
I checked with my son-in-law who’s a professional singer in New York about vibrato and this is what he replied:
I assume what you’re referring to is a vibrato of 6 – 8 oscillations (or pulses) per second. It doesn’t surprise me that someone has actually studied what kind of vibrato is pleasing (or beautiful) to the ear and what isn’t pleasing. (The companies that design today’s electronic MIDI instruments have to take that into consideration when designing sounds.) I’m sure that there are also studies that determine how far the pitch can deviate within the vibrato for the note to sound “pleasing.”
Ultimately, it’s all about the personal aesthetic tastes. If you are going after a tone that sounds “open and beautiful” to most people, then the vocal sound will, most likely, have a vibrato of 6 – 8 oscillations per second.
Singing is like any art form where the aesthetic effects – and the transparent mental, emotional, and physical/mechanical techniques to achieve those aesthetic results – are two distinct things. Ideally, as a professional vocalist, it’s all about achieving a certain aesthetic effects to communicate a song in the most mechanically efficient manner possible. Within that context, “6 – 8 oscillations per second” really doesn’t mean anything; because, as a vocalist that isn’t what you are striving for.
I could go on…
mieps, I like vibrato. Most singers I like have great vibrato.
I like this comment on youtube when peeps complained about Adam’s too much vibrato.
Omg nkd….that pic. Am waiting in my car to have lunch with my drummer friend. I’ll see if he had any comments from the EMA video he posted on his Facebook.
Yay!!!! Keep it going everyone!

Cher, is that for real? Holy @#%, that’s really cool. I can’t play any of the video’s but that’s a good looking page!
Here’s an enlarged view of the Kearns article. The Irish News is a daily newspaper in Northern Ireland with a circulation of 40,000 – 50,000.

You might want to try Burton Cummings. Wonderful voice, not unlike Adam albeit started 30 yrs ago.
Two close up mini vids from the EMAs! What a view, but terrible audio. Done from a mobile phone. Who cares. Gorgeous bb.

Can u tell I’m not doing anything constructive at work today? My hooky time ends at 4pm though, but then I get to leave at 6pm to go with my friends to see JayZ/Kanye concert.
I’ll let you know if I suffer.
Roger Taylor talking about Adam at about 5:15

It’s nice hearing Roger talk about Adam. … his unparalleled range, effortless performance….fits right in with their flamboyant style, etc. Also interesting that he talked about how well Adam did/did not fit in with Queen. Roger talks bout how Freddie’s personality is unique, but as for performance, Adam fits right in and they’ll probably to do that again sometime. Spiff! Spiff!
Love Roger and Brian. I really think Brian especially wants to promote Adam’s career. Good stuff!
Thanks for posting spiffysmiles! I’ve felt abandoned here for a while now. lolol
Good to have some company.
mp3 of the part of Roger’s interview that we want to hear over and over again.

So, Adam has taken over the top 10 — LOVE IT!!!
ETA: Just arrived home from work and so much to catch up on!
Wow, that mtv.most popular thing is great. I thought it was good yesterday when he had 10 in the top 30 but now….and I’m with Mieps, its not me doing it as ‘I’m outside the US’ (although at the moment its been letting me watch TSMGO, but none of the others. It pi***s me off a bit, as it will let me watch quite a few of the other artists (if i wanted, which generally I don’t!).
That newspaper article was great, have never seen an article that positive about him before, just wish I’d seen nkd’s enlarged version before I’d strained through the other one!
The article by John Kearns….
Wow, this could have been written by all of us. I know for sure that he managed to capture all of my thoughts since American Idol 2009. It is so cool to hear these sentiments expressed from someone other than us!!
Hmmm….It appears that some early recordings with both Michael Jackson and Freddie Mercury might possibly be released. I, for one, would love to hear these sounds!

I loved hearing that interview with Roger Taylor and him talking about Adam. I’m looking forward to that day they do it again.
Today I’ve been cleaning blinds, floors etc… My house cleaning has taken a back seat to all things Adam, but I’ve got company coming for Thanksgiving. So I play youtube vids on my TV while I clean!!! EMA performance and Ste Agathe concert! I have to stop to watch every once in a while, thus extending my cleaning time!
Yes, nekkid, but those little breaks can enhance one’s energy and make the cleaning so much more thorough…
Bert Bert Bert!

Good evening everyone! How is everyone doing?
Well, we know he’s made it……

nkd, I got all excited seeing you post, thought we’d finally got a pic of him in his costume for KP’s party…
did we have this pic posted yet?

Good evening, glamberthaf28
It always makes me smile to see your cheerful greeting. It’s completely in character with the girl I saw just across the way from me in Ste.-Agathe. BTW, if I was asked or had thought about it, I would have guessed 16-17 years old. I do mean that as a compliment! I could be your … well, I’ll save that happy thought for another time.
Well my drummer friend will be the first one to go to a Queen/Adam concert wherever it is.
Unfortunately, I don’t think it’s going to happen. You could tell by that Roger Waters interview that they are focusing on the contest for a Queen tour. haha unless they regret now having the contest. That Mark Martel from Canada is very good. Looks and sounds a little like Freddie but no stage presence and he doesn’t have that bombastic, commanding presence that Freddie had.
I’m thinking Hiawatha for the party.
That’s great luval, someone to travel with!
I wonder if we’ll ever see the party pics.
HK fan…9 of the most beautiful pictures of Adam.
Hi Ron…Hi glamberthaf28 (or Heddy)
eta; mieps…oh gosh, I’d rather go alone than be with a ” could care less” Adam fan as we’ve discussed in the past!
Hi luval!!
But didn’t Roger say that it looks like it’s going to happen again? Meaning Adam singing with Queen?
I was just going to ask nkd, because she’s cleaning today, if we could use her broom to go to Wembley for a Queen (with special guest appearance by Adam Lambert) performance. Having met nkd, I’m sure she has a broomstick tucked away somewhere.
I’m going back to listen to that interview. BRB
Yeah, I remember, but now he’s motivated to go, surely that’s different? Hmm… no, I can see what you mean.
Luckily there will be many of us going as well!
