You’re melting and I’m shvitzing. Adam is causing global warming all by himself!!!
I cannot stop laughing from this! This is the best one yet! The person that started making these is a genius!
I love these DeeDee. So much fun to watch.
I was going through Queens music and am astonished how much music they put out! I came across 3 songs and immediately thought Adam would KILL both of them and leave everyone in Sonisphere speechless! One is called Fat Bottomed Girls, combines country & rock and I think Adam would slay this song. The other is One Vision and if Brian May and Roger Taylor are as smart as I think they are, not only would they perform this there, they would let Adam release this song as a single-Adam would leave everybody with their mouths hanging! The 3rd is one of the last songs Freddie Mercury sang-These Are the Days of Our Lives; hopefully Adam can maybe end the set with this because i can hear Adam singing this. Check them out on Youtube if you can; whatever Adam does end up singing, Adam is going to put on an extravaganza that will be equal to no one else – this is going to be a performance of tremendously epic proportions and will propel Adam in to the ionosphere-there won’t be a soul who’s never heard of Adam Lambert again!
I agree about These Are the Days of our Lives. I have that one on my iPod and it always punches me in the gut emotionally. Not that crazy about Fat Bottomed Girls, but so many of their songs I can so hear Adam singing. I agree that after this there won’t be anyone who hasn’t heard of Adam.
My particular favorite is “Who wants to live forever ” and I can see Adam doing a killer job on it. Their voices are different, equally fabulous, but Freddie’s is crystal clear, Adam’s is more powerful and emotive, i think. Hard to compare them … like two majestic mountains.
I don’t know… I listened to an album Freddie made singing operatic kind of music, duets with an opera singer. I think it was something he’d always wanted to do. I’m afraid that it showed the limitations of Freddie’s voice. I was severely disappointed in the album. Not to diss Freddie or anything. But I’ve never come across anything Adam sang that I was not totally impressed with.
Freddie always loved Opera, I love this performance from 1988, two years after his last performance w/ Queen and two years before he died -

There are so many things about them that is similar- stage presence, flair, vocal range, confidence, showmanship, joy. But their voices are totally different, and equally great.
my personal favourite is also Who Wants to Live Forever. It just stirs something in me. After I saw We Will Rock you a couple of years ago I went online to see what other music they did, and was equally surprised to see how many songs I know of theirs. Freddie definitely had a stage presence. That is what I first noticed from the many concert footage videos I watched. Wasn’t Days of Our Lives, Freddie’s last recorded song, the video of which took a lot out of him because he was nearing the end of his life.
More insane gorgeousness – HELP!!

I AM NOT 100% POSITIVE BUT I THINK ADAM ANSWERED ONE OF MY QUESTIONS ON SATURDAY NIGHT ONLINE, BUT I THINK THAT QUESTION MIGHT HAVE BEEN MINE!!!!! I AM SO EXCITED!!! BUT NEED TO FIGURE OUT IF THAT WAS FROM ME!!
well, you are Dorothy from New York, but did you submit a question about being in a movie ? That whole Q & A was amazing.
Here is the Q & A. Wasn’t he wonderful?
I had written out a question about whether he would tour in Israel, and then when I saw that you had to go thru Facebook or Twitter hoops to post it, I didn’t. But then he answered the question that he would like to go there. He is totally delightful when he answers questions. So
sincere and sweet. No wonder we all love him. Everyday I thank g-d for his wonderful and understanding parents.
