It always astonishes me how hard fought it still is to present topics like a documentary honoring Freddie's legacy or alternatively anything that is related to Adam's career, as mainstream. The go-to place still seems to be the R-rated section, in the minds of many.
Obviously, we know what happened, when Bohemian Rhapsody gets turned into a PG-13 film, and it now seems a bit out of place to read that for 'Rocketman', they did not go down that same road. Not a smart move, if you ask me, but that is their decision. I don't want to see R-rated stuff around Elton John any more than I would have wanted to see it about Freddie.
Whoever this Fox studio executive responsible for BR was, he clearly has understood something that some others have yet to learn. That the segregated bubbles dictated on us when it comes to the gay community, are definitely a thing of the past. Being homosexual has come out of its separate bubble and into mainstream. According to the stories it's Elton that's pushing for the R rating, or at least for including all the rock and roll atmosphere and the sex scene. This Vanity Fair article says that R rated musical usually do poorly at the box office www.vanityfair.com/hollywood/2019/04/elton-john-biopic-rocketman-bohemian-rhapsody-classic-roc-movies . Who wants to relive their youth with their kids, adult age or younger, when it's less about the music and more about the music man? BoRahp got it right. Hadn't heard that Elton himself was the one pushing for the more sexually-focused theme of the film. Interesting. I still think Brian and Roger made the right decision. And I do really like Elton John and his music, too. I'm probably go see the movie regardless of how it's done.

Must say, Adam looked mighty fine last night @ Evita....does this Alli person hang out at the gay clubs a lot? I've seen a lot of her pics with Adam...she's a bit clingy, isn't she ? And Adam sure seems to have a ton of artists in the fandom....very talented for sure, some more my cuppa than others. And yes, the ones I usually find weird or strange, he likes them...kind of makes sense as I'm the most boring person ever lol. Just a few days now until the new single comes out !!!!!!!!!!

I was surprised, when I listened to Adam's IG chat, how kind of rough his speaking voice sounds...not really clear at all. I kept wanting to clear my throat just listening to him. Yet when he sings, I don't hear any roughness...unless he purposely adds it to the song.
You can really hear it on the edit that was just posted.
