I loooove this duet as well. The drama and theatrics. They both sound beautiful, and they really seem to be enjoying one another, which lets me enjoy them. When I was watching Adam perform with Gaga, Adam was really having to work hard even though he was loving it. This seemed more like a pleasure for both of them.
Adam is both a fiery and an extroverted performer - his energy pursues you, enters into your world and blends with your own, if you let it. Helene seemed much cooler, more of an introverted performer - at least here, she made me come to her, so to speak. Was an interesting dynamic that played out between them as well. It was a filmed performance and I definitely felt she was far more conscious of playing to the cameras than Adam.
Q3, I would put
Under Pressure at the top of the QAL duets. Simple preference only. Roger's harmonies are spectacular (as they always are), it is a full song and the joy and chemistry between them is off the scale. It was the surprise song of the tour for me - one of my least favourite Queen songs, which became one of my favourites. I still watch this Vancouver performance:
Of all his other duets so far, the most natural chemistry to me has been Adam and Angie Miller. I found his duet with Alisan surprisingly stiff and awkward, but maybe it was different seeing it in concert.

Q3 the contest. I think it will be a simple
demonstrate how big a fan you are type contest rather than a sales-based video for the cards.
I really hope you don't have posters all over your bedroom wall and an Adam-pillow-case though
. Unless Mr Q3 is tolerant beyond all reason!
If it is this type of contest, I think you could do something creative around the fact that Adam loves that his music has inspired and created friendships and fellowships across the world. And what we get up to. I'd use this site as a theme - 'our not so secret glambert behaviour', the fact that you provide this place and find examples of posts, images, serious discussion, our stupidity, flailing and our love and kindness.
I really hope you win.,
