I think she means...you cannot access ....choosing a seat by viewing what is sold and still available. (The way you can see the open spots versus sold seats....the option on the left.) It still opens only for computer selected choice, as I was trying to see open seats last night for Edmonton. The on stage seats were selling for approx. 1,575.00. In Edmonton.... Holy Moly eh! ...and assuming the Vancouver would be the same. But you can...or could a day or two ago...Thursday because I bought Live Nation seats that way...using the seat map and choosing them and paying for them. I know what was meant and at least a couple of days ago, you could. When the reg sale and pre sales start and there is massive volume of buying, they turn that option off but once the pressure is off, they turn that option for seat purchasing back on. Sorry... I just tried and you are right it worked fine. I was trying on my ipad last night...and it did not work. Just now my test to see the seating worked perfectly on my "brand new desktop computer" that was being put together/loading in my old hard drive info yesterday afternoon and into the evening by a tech guy! (Cannot loose anything Adam!)

I hope, those that were disappointed with the Access Hollywood interview here realize that there are two parts. One part is entirely about Adam (and Queen, of course) and the other is second half Adam, and so only about 1/4 of the whole interview is Gaga related.
Given the timing with the game this Sunday, the connection that Adam has in various ways to Gaga, I thought this was just chit chat about a cultural topic that was current and allowed Adam to take it where he wanted to go with it.
If you require an interview to be about QAL and Adam only, then journalists would ask a question about this only and then cut the interview off. How sad that would be. Instead, a question about Gaga tells you and any other listener a lot about Adam too.
1) He could have stated / corrected how his relationship with Gaga was, given that the interviewer got it wrong. He chose not to waste his time on that, but rather leave the mis-conception.
2) You see how good he is at answering the question he wants to answer, not directly the one asked. A skill that public figures need to have, but I always find it amazing how Adam is able to sidestep a potential problem by responding indirectly. He is very quick on his feet that way and it helps him come across as suave and personal, and friendly and everything good, no matter what.
3) They went through some possible song choices for Gaga at HT-show. You saw Adam's evalutation process on how to pick songs for such an event. I thought that was insightful.
4) For any person that does not observe Adam all the time, this kind of chit chat also tells them something about Adam, puts him into that A-league of people, who have (at least so it seems in the interview) access to people like Gaga. That is great for Adam, publicity-wise. It presented him as having a great place within the industry. We just talked in previous posts about Alison. If she were given an interview, she would surely not be presented as belonging into that league. That's the difference. It's all good for Adam.
I think it is important to keep the bigger picture in mind, be thankful that Adam is considered in this interview as A-league, and just enjoy the remaining 3/4 of the interview, if we really need to hear about Adam only. I for my part love to hear Adam talk about something else too, whatever it may be, even if it is not a topic I particularly care about. To paraphrase Randy: he could recite the phone book and I would listen with interest.

Watched 3 minutes of that Access Hollywood interview and had to turn it off. Who wants to hear about Gaga and Beyonce? One of the worst interviews I've seen in a while. I felt the same way. I guess if you are are Gaga or Beyonce fan or big fan of the pop ladies it was good for you. But I was interested in Adam and Queen as they don't get as much US tv time. Some of the headlines about the interview even had Gaga in them. I am pretty sure Adam did not go on to give her more promo as she/Beyonce don't need it. He went there to promote Queen and himself. But still happy to see him getting a lot of tv and print. Hopefully this will be the last time they try to make his interview about the S/B Glad someone else felt the same way. Although someone said people are talking about Gaga like it's big news, absolutely no one in my circle of family, friends, or co-workers has mentioned Gaga and I doubt they care. Her last album flopped and sorry I did not like that repetitive million reasons song that Adam liked. IMO, Adam has very little connection with Gaga, a song six years ago and no they did NOT tour together, they did one song in one show. The interviewers acted like fangirls of Gaga trying to grasp any tidbit of info about her. I felt it was disrespectful to Adam. I was so turned off by those interviewers I won't bother watching the other segment.

HB, looks very good for a 2nd show. IMO, it was always planned! In anticipation of this happening, I changed my hotel reservations to accommodate the two shows. Patti, when do you think an announcement will be made.

I agree with what was previously said about learning how to read music. There is a difference between knowing what a quarter note is or looks like, and being able to translate that into the perfectly played melody on the instrument. It's kind of like the difference between knowing how a bishop is allowed to move in a chess game, and being able to play chess. Big difference. In addition, you can play chess at many different levels, and obviously you can play an instrument (vocals included) at different levels too.
Anybody can learn to read music, even as a child, but our ability to translate that into music varies. I don't even know when I learned to read music (G-clef), it was pre-school age, so I have no memory of it, but my piano playing remained basic, even with years of training. But then I also don't consider myself to be talented, when it comes to music.
But beyond this discussion, it needs to be said, that especially with guitar, you don't need to read music to be able to play guitar. I bet Adam would be more the type to just play naturally, without written scores, and in pop/rock music there is no reason to learn it.
I agree, that Adam probably has absorbed a few basics of music reading in high school choir, but if his talent carried him the way it surely did, it may have never been apparent that his score reading itself was not developed. He probably carried the whole tenor section through 4 years of choir performances by keeping the whole group sounding strong and on pitch. Many high school choirs would love to have somebody holding up the usually short-staffed tenor section.
I cannot even imagine singing next to somebody who is that strong, in a choir. Or to be the alto in front of that tenor trying to hold my own voice against him, lol. It must have been something.
Tbh, I don't care that Adam does not read music, or does not read it well. It does not make a difference, imo. I just wish he would pick up the guitar, but he has to want that for himself. And want it enough.

Part one is all about Adam and Queen. Part 2, they ask about Gaga and the Super bowl! That whole show was about the Superbowl! It was the main theme! IDEK how Adam's management managed to get him on there, with the Super Bowl being their BIG story! And even during the Gaga talk they got great stuff from Adam. They even got Pharaoh info in there! I LOVED the whole thing!
