Usually don't share personal stuff but has been tough week and have not had time to check in to see news and what is happening. Brothers house burned down last weekend. Total loss of structure and contents. So, So thankful that everyone able to get out of the house and safe, including pets. We were able to go through the structure and retrieve a few items with insurance agent but everything buried in burned out walls and roof. Incredible what survived and what didn't. Just about all of the family picture albums survived, some heritage pieces from Grandparents and sister in laws angel collection. Strange mix of things. They have great insurance so will be able to rebuild but it has been difficult looking at the devastation and knowing what family memorabilia was lost. The news about Adam being on AI, Queen songs being featured, and the very strong probability Adam will perform his new song cheers me up. Looking forward to the 3 QAl shows I will be attending this June. Sort of wish the tour was starting tomorrow. Need some diversion to all the other stuff happening. Looking forward to Playmobile movie, tour, Adam's new music, and whatever else is sent our way that is Adam related. So much to be thinkful for and that family is safe and as an Adam fan - have so much to look forward too. Thanks to everyone for all the news and information you have been posting. Have a lot to catch up on. So sorry to hear about your brother losing his home, but good to hear that he had sufficient insurance to be able to build new.

twitter.com/MichaelOrland/status/1119342871314747392PattiHum @pattihum And everyone will find out just how hard those Queen songs are to sing! 😂🤔 Michael Orland @michaelorland For sure. And learn how to put some theatricality in to a performance that is usually sadly lacking.

Javi didn’t go to work this morning, but posted now an IG story from a photo shoot. Caption: „Guess, who’s working today.“ Maybe Adam has a photo shoot? There is some kind of throne in one edge of the studio... Looks like the photo shoot is for Javi according to his insta stories.. maybe a birthday gift from Adam? I wonder if Lee Cherry will be taking the photographs at his studio?

Do mentors get to sing? Damn but I would love for Adam to sing WWLF on national television. Then, of course, his new single on the finale!!!

Looks like the studio they used today is FD Studios. It was tagged along with the makeup artist www.instagram.com/toni_mua/ and the photographer www.instagram.com/itstylerrowell/ who Jason, Jovan and Terrance follow. www.fdphotostudio.com/

Maybe we'll get a little bit of coaching singing like we did with Elvis in Vegas. Idol will probably show a clip of Adam singing with QAL.

This is actually a pretty good video.
The singer lists the 6 most difficult Queen songs, in his opinion, and then explains why he considers them difficult.
He limits it to the GH plus a few other currently performed songs (WWTLF and TSMGO), so he does not list more rare creations like Cool Cat or White Queen, etc., that are also vocally challenging.
The interesting part for me was that he talks from the perspective of a typical singer who has the traditional C3 - C5 type voice with a few higher falsetto notes above that. He is also clearly attempting to imitate Freddie. It is not about re-interpreting in his own style for this guy, so the things he says would not apply to Adam in exactly the same way, because Adam can sing very comfortably in the range that that guy perceives as difficult. But that does not mean these songs are easy for Adam either, just easier.
But the video clearly shows up where the difficulties with the songs lie for the usual well-trained singer, and as such, I thought it was an interesting study. (Btw, I am glad, the comments are mostly about MM, because Adam does not need to be dragged into this discussion. Adam does not imitate Freddie, he sings in his own style, so no need to even compare)
Hope you like it.
I enjoyed watching it. I think all the examples are of Freddie himself and not this guy singing. He only sings one portion that you can see on camera, everything else is from Freddie recordings.

Michael Orland @michaelorland Hey @adamlambert I should be a psychic. I said a month ago (let’s find the original tweet or insta comment) that if Idol wanted some ratings finally they would have you on as a mentor. Happy to see that’s happening. So proud of u always. One more reason I’ll have to watch 🙈 Nice to see the support but I wish they would not put the ratings on Adam's back. With all the money that Katy, Lionel and Luke are making, it should be up to them bring in the ratings or to pick contestants that people want to tune in to see. Of course, if more tune in because of Adam that would be a good thing. But often the rating change little no matter who is on these shows.

Question to the people in the know...do you only see Insta stories if you're signed up for Instagram? I can never see them when somebody posts them or when I look at Javi's insta account, but I'm not signed up for Instagram either.
I just looked because I noticed Pattihum being very impressed by his photo shoot.
