My guess is Queen was never asked to perform at the Oscars and that was a dream of Whoopie and others. And a wish of ours. I can't think of any reason why the Oscars would say you can sing but not with your frontman. Even if they suggested someone else and Queen said that is not acceptable, if they wanted Queen there and they wanted to do it they would be there doing it their way. I can also understand why Adam would not attend the Oscars. He supports Brian and Roger but they and the cast would be front and center and he would be the odd man out. Happy for the new music news! Your take on it makes perfect sense. If Adam did attend the Oscars, he would not be with the group from the film. And yes, it seems most likely that QAL was not asked to perform at the Oscars anyway. Just Whoopie's wishful thinking.

Why must you time and time again insert your biased politics into this forum? The moderators have asked us to leave politics at the door when coming to this site but it seems like some people need a periodic reminder. Please take your political opinions elsewhere. The topic being discussed is Adam-related, IMO. He has spoken about same-sex marriage. As an Adam fan, I'm interested in the topic.

A must watch: ht tps://twitter.com/colbertlateshow/status/1091202682604478464 Why must you time and time again insert your biased politics into this forum? The moderators have asked us to leave politics at the door when coming to this site but it seems like some people need a periodic reminder. Please take your political opinions elsewhere. We are on the forum of an LGBTQ activist and I think most people here support LGBTQ equal rights and like to highlight others, like Adam, who do the same. This is not a political issue, but a human rights issue. Calling out supporters of something as egregious as conversion therapy is not a political statement, but an earnest cry for simple human compassion.

THAT is why I posted this clip. This is NOT POLITICS! ...it is about humanity or lack there of in all of us. Unless you are trying to state that bigotry, homophobia and misogyny are all positions of the politics on the right

We will also hear his new music before the PlayMobil song apparently. Plus he probably doesn't have a writing credit on the song for the movie. So no Oscar or Grammy for him.
He's not at the Oscars. I wonder if Brian and Roger said: we only want to perform with Adam or not. Re Oscar/Grammy for the Maximus song: Ya, I didn’t think of that! But..IF the song gets nominated for Oscar Adam might get to perform - THAT would be something! Re QAL at 2019 Oscars: interesting question... but as I’ve posted before, I can’t imagine they’d say NO to Gaga (which I suppose would be on the table if they were asked to perform)... on the other hand why would they refuse to perform on such a big stage? I can see a scenario where they would have agreed to have Gaga join Adam, but she wanted to perform solo, and that wasn’t acceptable to B&R. oh well, useless speculations... one thing we know: 2019 will be very exciting in Adam land! I can't imagine they'd say yes to Gaga. Adam is their current front man and to perform without him would be ridiculous especially after the last time. I thought it was a mess! Also we assume they were asked. I don't think they were, it's all speculation.

Also we assume they were asked. I don't think they were, it's all speculation. Agree. She was also a mess when she sang with Metallica at the Grammy's. You can't stick someone into everything because they have a big name. If Queen were to perform on a big platform like the Oscars they would want to come with their A game and that would be Adam. The guy they are actually filling arenas with. Besides she will be performing her own song for her movie. Why would they want to stick her into a recognition of BoRhap when she is there for ASIB? I wonder if there is any chance that QAL will get to perform at the BAFTA Awards.

Also we assume they were asked. I don't think they were, it's all speculation. I say, that it was most likely just a rumour. But I can imagine, that Queen would play with Lady Gaga at such a special occasion. Mind, it’s not QAL, that plays a role at the Oscars. And Brian did collaborate with Lady Gaga before. Brian and Roger are musicians, who love to play. They won’t tour with any other singer again. But Roger for instance plays from time to time with Spikes SAS band and sometimes performs a Queen song with them. The same with Brian and Kerry Ellis. It’s their music and they do respect other musicians and do collaborate from time to time. AND they also always have been a band looking for fame and money... just saying. The thing is, that I don’t believe, that they were even asked. Lady Gaga will perform her song, that’s enough. It’s not a music show and she’s not the center of that show. There will only be 2 music acts. It’s highly unlikely, that - had they decided to have a third act - this would have included Gaga again. Lady Gaga & Brian May: youtu.be/InNs_wKlzX4

Lady Gaga did sing with Queen and Adam. I thought it was a hot mess! I don't advocate for a repeat.
