All I can say is I would be glad not to be sitting next to or behind Johnny....lol. He was even "singin" during WWTLF. No, No. I know Adam loves him.....but he's a handful :D Noticed Linda Perry two seats over.....hope she wasn't too distracted....lol. Same for me. I want to hear Adam in all his glory. You expect some singing and fan engagement and Adam and Queen would too. But some songs need the star to be heard stinging them. There have been some distracting videos of others singing thru Everything and I always think, I don't want to be near them at my show, lol.

Giving that back to Adam is one of the things I like to do. I've had two moments in 2017 and 2018 where Adam and I exchanged some of that and it was such a rush. Guess I never should stream as that will disturb people. Singing with WWTLF is part of my enjoyment also. I can hit the notes, but I am loud. So when I have friends next to me I try to sing in a direction that doesn't bother them so much. Being at the front row at the barrier at least makes sure there is no-one in front of me. I wonder how that will go in the US next week.

Heavy Fire is one of Adam's many hidden gems. I love it. So many of Adam's songs from all this albums would be great radio-friendly songs right now, IMO.
Both LA shows were epic with great reviews and fan feedback. We wouldn't expect anything less.
And except for the big "sing-a-long" songs that everyone sings together, I sing under my breath. LOL
Adam is amazing.

LOL Adam is amazing. "Heavy Fire" is not one of my favs, but I love some other TOH tracks. Can't imagine HF fitting into any radio format in 2015 or now. I'm not even sure what genre it is. But Ghost Town was an unlikely radio song. Overall TOH has some interesting tracks on it, but it is without a unifying theme or connection from track to track.
I think TOH is the track from that album that would have fit best with CHR radio in 2015, less so now. I am still surprised they did not release and promote that single to radio in the US. ALN still seems like the a weaker, more boring track to me. And ALN was an odd follow-up to GT, but it was the Max Martin track on the album so very likely it was guaranteed to be a promoted single to get him to work on the album.
I am pleased that there appears to be some unifying concept and style to Velvet. Now hopefully, there is a big song on this album -- and hopefully it is the next track. That said, I really do not care if there is a radio hit on this album, I just want Adam to get a big streaming hit. Big enough to fund a solo tour.
**
I like you sing alone on the big "sing-along" songs, participate in the flashlight phone and arm movements/stomping/clapping as a Queen fan should, and sing the other songs inaudibly most of the time.
**
I am pleased Adam is FINALLY being accepted as a great frontman. That is a huge accomplishment. It is easy to take it for granted but go back and read the reviews from 2015 to see how far he has come. And think about Adam in 2012 who was working to remember the lyrics to Adam in 2019 who owns these songs (and the audience) when he performs them.

So when I have friends next to me I try to sing in a direction that doesn't bother them so much. Being at the front row at the barrier at least makes sure there is no-one in front of me. I wonder how that will go in the US next week. Mostly, I think people should do what makes them happy at a Queen concert as long as it adds to total event.
For this concert, being in the first row or on the catwalk, is a great place for singing the whole concert. And being on the catwalk barrier is great for how this concert is staged.
I never mind anyone singing along (anyone who can sing that is). But I was once at a QAL concert (2015) and next to a very loud, very flat singer who did not know the lyrics and still sang along. It was occasionally funny but overall not pleasant. Eventually, some people on the other side of this woman asked her to be a bit more quiet. Thankfully, she stopped singing along. She was an avid Adam fan who was at her first Queen concert. She was quite nice and not rude. I think she just got carried away with the whole thing. But clearly, she had never listened to a Queen album and she did not know any of the Queen audience participation "rules."
The only thing that I think is a "never do" is for people to talk loudly during WWTLF. Just no, no, no.
Other than that, the QAL sound is so loud, it is hard to hear anyone else except on the sing-along parts, during WWTLF, and the acoustic segment.

Adam is amazing. Yep I sing along too and will this time as well. But I would never sing so loud that the people around me hear my voice instead of enjoying Adam. So for me, I would not want to be next to anyone who made their voice the most heard of the show, lol. And I agree that Adam had many songs that would be great on radio but only if they were played. We all love what we love but there is no way to know what could have been a hit cause most were never given a chance. But I think there are many who would love to hear a beautiful ballad from Adam Lambert. His fans as well as the public have diverse tastes in music. Radio plays diverse music when they want. But now we don't need to worry about that cause it seems radio is not in the cards for Velvet. And there are not enough fans (or exposure to enough big playlists) to make his streaming numbers so big that radio would get on board. Will be interesting to find out what the deal is with his management.
