Wonderful confirmation of the 2nd LA show....... must be especially heartwarming for Adam to have such great response in his hometown..... And how exciting for all of you who get a 2nd bite of the Hollywood Bowl cherry..... Good luck getting the tix you want!

I thought Martel was supposed to be really really good?! These YTs are painful! Not what I prefer, nor would I go out of my way to see this or QE, but those recordings are exceptionally bad. He is actually a very competent singer, not charismatic or exciting but capeable of carrying the tribute show. As to who should front Queen, there is absolutely no contest.

Great to hear the tickets are selling so well and that you're sitting pretty with yours already, msloyalfan! So much fun to have something like this to look forward to - I share in everyone's excitement!

Good luck getting the tix you want! just had rotator cuff surgery on Friday so not posting much for a while, but just a few things. Love hearing about the added LA show! ADORE Adam's outfit at the pre-Grammy party. So sexy. As for M Martel, he does his own Queen job well as does Adam. Neither could do the other's job. GOTTA go rest my shoulder. It's a beast tonight. Good night!

No real reason that Adam would have been considered -- but too bad for the viewers because he would have done George Michael justice -- and Adele did not. Setting that aside, I am one of the few fans who would rather not have Adam do tributes like this. I want him to be recognized as a very talented solo artist, performer and songwriter. No as the "go to gay" for cover performances of famous dead gay singers. He has been able to respectfully make his role as Queen frontman not an impersonation because he is so different from Freddie. He is more like George Michael -- and that could be a bit of a karaoke risk. JMHO YMMV

But then I remember when he did Faith, and it was Adam doing Faith, not a GM impression. Also, Bruno's tribute was fabulous & he pretty much tried to BE Prince! IMO, It totally worked. I figured out why I disliked the Adele tribute so much. It was HER tribute to George! It wasn't a tribute for fans or for the Grammys. Her performance in a medley of several artists would have worked. Or if it had been at a special event honoring George and that song had been one of many songs. But to choose that song, which was not a big hit in the US, then arrange it so it is completely unrecognizable...... IDK, what she was thinking. And what's with the awful starts of her songs for 2 years in a row now? What is that all about?! IDGI! I think the moral of the story, for Grammy, should be that tributes should be done by multiple performers.
