Adam Lambert 24/7 News

I'll be watching!

Yay, something I can access. My calendar is marked.

Me too hopefully !

Oh, wonderful!! And I love the song they assigned to Adam — it's actually one of the heftier Christmas songs of the show and Adam can really sink his teeth into it. I mean look at the song they gave to Michael Buble, king of the standards, pretty lightweight. So I'm pretty chuffed for Adam here. Also — P!NK..!! If someone had some real genius here, they woulda given them a duet — but maybe that's better for a different special anyway.

And can we all have a revelation here..? Adam was asked to do something for DISNEY. Remember, when Adam was on Idol, the show had a relationship with Disney — the winner being given a parade at Disney World, which Kris Allen had, and they also had The American Idol Experience show at their Hollywood Studios theme park in Florida (which was there when I worked there and I saw several times). And there was suspicion, mine included, that Disney had some behind the scenes influence in Adam not being chosen the Idol winner that year (despite that the winner is supposed to be chosen strictly by public vote) because they were uncomfortable with his being gay, which is so ironic given the large numbers of gay men & lesbians who work there, but they didn't want to "offend" certain segments of their customer base. So, for me, I give major kudos to the Disney executive who this year said YES to Adam being on one of their TV specials — and a Jewish man at that! :)

Wow broddy did'nt know about Disney's supposingly part in Adam not winning Idol. Those dummies, but flash forward now Adam has made it back to Disney! Haha "Have...Christmas" is a favorite of mine amongst others. Adams version will be gorgeous no doubt. :)

broddy, thanks so much for reminding us of that background with Adam and Disney and Idol and Kris and the whole debacle. Those days seem SO long ago now. Just goes to show how much things have changed since then. A long way yet to go, but still.... I am thrilled that Adam is on this show along with other very big names. NETWORK TV is always a bonus when it comes to getting public attention. And yes, the song choice for Adam is perfect. He will make that song magnificent. It has a lovely melody and he can give it a bit of that "big" voice treatment that we all love to hear. he will nail it and make it soar.

off topic - The pro-trump million man march starting Washington this morning is playing Queen's "Under Pressure" full blast.

Patria, Yuck. I don't think Brian and Roger would like that.

Yuck is right. I doubt the Bowie fans or the keepers of his legacy like it either.

also off topic. Scrolling thru twitter someone mentioned "Gloria" so I googled the Glee performance with Adam. It is so much fun I thought I'd bring the link here in case someone else wants to revisit it.

Thanks Patria....I loved that performance...and still visit it occasionally myself....my favorite among Adam's iconic ones on Glee. He was just so charming and loveable there! And those three performed seamlessly together. It was such fun.

So tragic about Naya!

Can not wait to see him on the Disney show. He will sing so wonderfully that song. Trump crazy press woman said one million came out for it. That was a big old LIE, CNN said no where near that. It was fairly large He ask his proud boy groupe to come out. Also asking for money. He done nothing in this health crises now, he is just playing, golf, getting shut down by judges, trying to stir up riots by the proud boys to under mine a fair election. His non masked rallies have led to a whole lot of Covid cases. We desperately need a leader. That leader will be Joe Biden on January 20th no matter what mess he does. But, Biden needs access to info.
Under Pressure my a-s. They are the one under pressure over 5 million more votes went to JB and a land slide popular votes. They can hold up all the stupid signs they want.
Watching News now Anti Trump people coming out, Biden supporters. Was a little trouble. But, think it's ok.
Mostly out now are JB supporters just a few left over marchers.
So happy Adam will be on a show to help people get fed and little children get christmas gifts in this ridiculous and scary time. Love You and support you Joe Biden.
Sorry for the politics not fair what they are trying to pull on JB. They will not prevail. DT is only trying to protect himself from many things. I wish they would stop using Queen songs for hate. That not what they are meant for at all.

Nanbert, it just breaks my heart all over again when I think of Naya.

Sue they were singing "We Are the Champions" too. It was later in the day. We knew the awful behavior would continue even after the results were called. Like you, it still upsets me even tho I know. I can understand trumps behavior. I can't understand why his supporters don't back off. There is more to come. Even so I feel more relaxed knowing Biden has won.

I'm hoping Adam finds a way to make "Have Yourself A Merry Little Christmas" up beat and actually 'merry'. But I'm thinking Disney will want him to be traditional.

Patria and Sue, just want to add my 2 cents on your comments on the idiots (sorry but I'm fumed) singing Queen songs, I would love it so much if Queen/Adam sing at the Biden's Inauguration with those same songs and stick it to those Maga people!

OMG Sunflower! I love that idea. It just has to happen.

Patricia he has won and it is a crime what that man and his band of cowards are doing. So scared he will do a dirty tweet on them. Any good people ( honest) people that he has power to fire are getting fired and replaced with not great people. As far as I know he can't fire congress. It is the current Republican cowards. Unfortunately for them an honest man is coming in a couple months. Not saying Republicans in most part are not good people but there is something wrong here.They are so not used to character and integrity in a president at least in the last four years.
There is no proof of fraud and he knows it. You have to have proof in court they have zero. Saw one of the so called dead people they said voted, on tv. Unfortunately she was very alive and voted for JB her husband was the one passed on.
I do think finally good will prevail over evil. Such a novelty in Trumps administration. I feel like a whole bunch of crooked going on in Trumps administration.
I do feel like you Joe Biden did win and won fair and by a good margin. If America can survive until then.
He needs a security briefing it dangerous. Republican S are calling JB people saying congratulations but we can't say it in public yet. Just give us a week. Well it's been more than that. Right now most of the secret service men and others in the White House have covid.
I feel like you he will be president and come january 20 Trump will have to except it. Listening to the JB Long journey to the White house. It's very good on CNN seen it once before. He lost so much. His wife and baby daughter years ago and his boys survive but badly hurt in a car wreck. They pulled through. Then one of his sons died of cancer last year, I believe.
He just a lovely good man but I do feel he very strong. Obama will be on 60 minutes tomorrow about all this. In case any person wants to watch it.

Patria those people singing Queen songs have no idea that Brian and Roger don't like Trump. Lol Agree with you too Sue, Biden is our new President end of story! Trump and his followers remind me of that Jonestown Massacre in the 70s with Jimmie Jones, very sad ending.

Actually the Electoral College decides who is going to be president and that will be December 14, 2020

I love this conversation you guys are having!!! Oh, yes, sweet revenge if Q+AL were to perform at Inauguration — as well as some of the other artists Cheeto-in-Chief's campaign co-opted, including Springsteen and Guns 'n' Roses. Actually, guys, there is a whole page on this subject on Wikipedia — very interesting! — and, yep, Queen is on it&

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Musicians_who_oppose_Donald_Trump%27s_use_of_their_music

Broddy, thanks for that list. I've had a few conversations with people about this topic but other than two or three examples, I couldn't come up with a whole list. It will be interesting to see who Biden chooses to perform at the inauguration ceremony and at his inauguration ball. Someone should whisper "Adam Lambert" in his ear. Or maybe shout it from the rooftops!

Broddy, my first reaction from reading that list was to lean my elbow on my desk and rest my forehead into my hand. Second thought was 'We do have a concert list here. Put it on the morning of the inauguration as an opening ceremony'

btw Broddy, you got no response last night because you came in as Eastern and Central time zone posters had gone to bed.

Dee — I'll take Adam Lambert or Queen + Adam Lambert..!!

Patria — oh, yes, plenty to choose from! Of course, indeed, there are other artists who have supported Biden-Harris whose music has not been co-opted by the 45 campaign. But I say that it's gonna be such a monumental day that they should make it like an all-day festival (except for when Biden and Harris are actually sworn in, and Biden's acceptance speech). And then run it all over again! Of course they'll have to decide who gets into the 2-hour all-networks special vs. the rest of it which would be online.

No worries on quick response, Patria — I'm a true night owl! 🦉

broddy, I love your description of what the inauguration celebration might be like. An all-day festival of joy for the country!

I remember when our current POTUS's staff was trying to get big acts for his inaugural ball. They kept getting turned down.

I think this January, things will be A LOT different!

Thanks broddy for that list of artists. They did keep playing "YMCA" at those rallies though.

Doubt Brian & Roger would play at the inauguration party, they have always stayed out of any political ‘things’ but would love to hear ‘Another one bites the dust’ when they kick Trump out of the Whitehouse though lol ! Adam could sing Suoerpower though ?

Super Power even !!

AUDIO/NEVER HEARD IT BEFORE,AMAZING!
Queen+Adam Lambert

MiReLa....thanks so much for that amazing audio....with Queen and Adam polishing up "I Was Born To Love You" for their Tokyo performance.....lucky Tokyo!!!

There's an immediacy and intimacy about this soundcheck that is thrilling...and SO impressing! This group never rests on its laurels, but are constantly "tweeking" and perfecting its sound among themselves. And even a soundcheck NEVER plods...but is brilliant and NEW throughout....perfectionists, ALL!
And Adam's voice is stupendous....especially so when it stands alone in sections here!

I've come to realize that Queen and Adam Lambert have created its own niche in the music world...that emcompasses all the splendor of a great classical orchestra while it still relates to all popular preferences....absolutely UNIQUE. As a classical music afficiando all my life, I find that QAL MORE than satisfies that taste. Each instrument is in the hands of a true maestro, and the orchestration/arrangement/harmonies compare favorably with any classical composer, IMO.

QAL NEVER plods through a performance...even a soundcheck. It skips, dances, flies, thunders, lilts, cries, soothes, roars, charges....and always takes the audience with them!

Long live Queen and Adam Lambert!
