Today is SuperBowl Sunday....and it is OK to post about the halftime show, music news in general, and Adam!!2.5.17 by Q3 Just about anything is OK today except posting about politics -- global, American or any other local activities. So if you are watch "the big game" or not, post freely but be respectful to other posters. Country star Luke Bryan will sing the national anthem at this year's Super Bowl. No I did not make that up!! Gaga will take over for the halftime show, and since no one likes to do the Super Bowl halftime show alone, Gaga has invited Tony Bennett to join her. No kidding!!
CNN reported that Gaga is going to have "hundreds of lit-up drones" flying around the stadium for her show and she had to get FAA approval before she was allowed to move forward with her idea.
One report has suggested that Gaga may attempt to do part of the show from the roof at NRG Stadium.
I don't have any idea what she will do but I expect it will either be great or crash and burn under the light of 100 drones.

That vids going viral. Bodes well for the Qal tour. Which I predict we'll be the best one yet. I mean Qal have not had this level of publicity in the past correct me if I'm wrong.

That vids going viral. Bodes well for the Qal tour. Which I predict we'll be the best one yet. I mean Qal have not had this level of publicity in the past correct me if I'm wrong. There was actually much more promo effort and more press in 2014 than this tour. They did that big press conference in NYC and more appearances. But tickets are selling briskly and they did all they needed to do because they were good in 2014. Two differences this tour promo are: 1. The press is more positive. 2. Adam is doing most of the promo. Brian and Roger did the RS Interview, one performance and a couple bits more -- then flew home. I think this will be a mostly sold out tour -- like the last tour. There will be some venues that only sell 80%ish but that is because they are playing Houston+Dallas and KC+Omaha and Detroit+Cleveland which are really close to each other. Cleveland will be interesting, classic rock acts don't usually sell out in Cleveland which is ironic because they will be down the street from the Rock n Roll Hall of Fame -- the big perfect venue for QAL is Blossom Music Center which is where I wish they were booked. It is an outdoor pavilion venue, the summer home of the Cleveland Symphony and several miles from my home. The acoustics are amazing!! Too bad that I did not get to plan this tour! I would have found a way to get QAL in Atlanta and Miami. Although it was great for fans, it is great there are no small venues on this tour like they had in Vegas last time. And no second tier venues in dead markets like Atlantic City, NJ (although that is a great venue for acoustics and they did almost fill it.) Overall, this tour has the top venues everywhere.

For people who like to keep score... Front Man Battle w/ Queen + Adam Lambert The Late Late Show with James Corden 2/2/17 1,223,726 views
Battle of the Singing Waiters w/ Sting The Late Late Show with James Corden 1/31/17 has 590,018 views
So QAL ia >>>>> Sting.
Regarding any thought of this video going viral, it's not. Viral has a specific meaning -- the rate of viewership needs to increase geometrically as the video spreads via social sharing. The Front Man Battle is increasing in total views but the rate of views is not increasing. So it is not close to a viral video.
****
The video has almost entire positive votes, but there are 336 thumbs down and from the looks of the comments they must be from the Marc Martel fan club.
