I have been gone most the day so this is news to me!!! I have to go back and see what I missed but... I think a concert tour with both of them would be awesome. I have never followed xtina but there are a few songs of hers I have really liked...and she is the female equivalent of Adam in terms of talent imo....so it is a natural pairing I think. I hope they can pull it together at another time....a brilliant pairing. Poor Adam....these things seem to fall apart for him so often....but he always lands on those gorgeous boots of his!! ETA after going back I just want to say that I would sure hope Glamberts don't start dissing xtina and threatening to walk out or enter late, etc..as that would reflect on Adam...not xtina. If some are unhappy and prefer not to go to the shows, it is a free world and by all means, don't go. Personally, after all the sh## Adam has gone through because Freddie fans don't like him...I really would not like to see us do the same to someone else. Great point (ashamed to have floated the see Adam and leave thought bubble). I'm sure Xtina puts on a hell of a show. I threw in this fact from her wiki... in a previous post. She won the 2020 SSE live award --best solo act live performance. There were also many stellar quotes from critics about her last tour performances. I indicated I have not been an Xtina fan, but have based that ONLY on a few tv performances. As I mentioned previously a joint tour would be a great opportunity to see this award winning artist in action. I might become a fan. 🙏🏼👍Her shows are supposedly pretty glitzy.

I know bridgey...it is so frustrating when things don't work out the way we would prefer...grrrr... I just had to ask for a refund on the Vegas shows....there is a limited window of time on those ticket refunds and I really cannot see free travel between Canada and the Us and big shows going forward this fall. All the medical pundits are forecasting a resurgence of covid along with the regular flu season...and the Vegas mayor sure is not going to close down if she can help it, lol....she offered up Vegas as a control group for testing...going back to work. Seriously...Vegas...share with the world their very own strain!! I hope Adam is not feeling pressured to do that show if it is unsafe.... Sorry for being a debbie downer...I am just working my way through my disappointment. But.....oh for a xtina/Adam big show around Xmas, in LA!!! Now I would be front in line for that.......

What I don’t get is: Adam said on one hand, that with Velvet he made this more retro kind of music with real instruments ect, , wich has a bit more of a Queen sound to it, because he also hoped that fans who got to know him through Queen would like it. And then he wants to tour with CA? How does that fit together? He didn't make rock music. He made pop music with a queenish hint. Going out with CA would have hit more of those pop fans that he needs in order for his own music to be heard. But if you just want him to do covers.........

There are not many singers who can actually sing together with Adam and hold their own, but obviously CA could. Whether you like her or not, think about the opportunities of the two of them singing either together or off of each other. They could also have a combined segment, besides individual segments, of course, reducing the numbers of people who would be eager to run off for either one or the other segment. A few such fans would always exist, but most are quite interested to take in a show as it is planned out by the artists.
Both Adam and Xtina love theatrical staging, it would allow for tons of glam, glitter and the works.
A song like Roses, for example, could totally work for both of them. Maybe it would be even time to dig out old songs like Strut. And a ton of others that would work in a show together with her.
Adam would get the big camp show full of costumes that he was always dreaming of having, and Xtina would fill a few more seats, which she previously could not do alone, but needs to, to afford the diva production she likes to put on.
I am quite sad that this plan did not work out. I am sure that Adam's management worked it out such that he would not get thrown under the bus on this deal (like a typical opening act is). This would have been more of a partnership. Music business is changing and not evey artistic decision is about pulling rank. I think it is more that Xtina had to learn a lesson or two here, and previously she may have been less willing to go for such a deal. But I am pretty sure that as generous as Adam is, she would still shine as the Queen, yet people in the audience would pay attention to Adam's singing and hopefully even fall in love with him.
YMMV.

I probably shouldn't say this, but I will anyway. Hopefully those for whom an Adam/Xtina tour would be a big "No" will have some new insight into what some fans who expressed QAL overload at various times were feeling. It's easy to be supportive of an artist, and break open the ol' wallet, when the artist is doing what you want them to do. It can be more of a challenge when they aren't. Doesn't mean you don't love the artist. Doesn't mean you don't want the best for them. Doesn't mean you're trying to dictate to them. Doesn't even mean you don't understand how what the artist is doing can be beneficial to them, even if you're not into it. What it does mean is what an artist wants does not always equal what a fan wants, and that's okay. It's allowed. It doesn't make you a "bad fan." And if it means passing on a project/tour/whatever, so be it.

Adam has already said his Velvet tour was going to be more intimate with real instruments and no dancers. But with lots of fashion. I doubt he is looking for another Glam Nation. He has already done that. And doing a co-tour with Xtina I doubt would make him want to return to past type performances. He seems ready to move on and showcase the type of music he is doing now. Funk, pop, rock and soul. With what we have seen so far (Nov. and Dec.), he puts on a hell of a show with his band and backup singers. Xtina is not doing that dirty dancing stuff now either. When was the last time someone saw her doing that? Even when she performed on The Voice, when she was a judge, she had moved way past that. I think Britney is still doing it but she does not have Xtina's talent. Sometimes artists grow and if they are lucky their fans grow with them. They are not trying to appeal to a teen audience. Adam has Queen and Adam fans and I think Xtina's fans are more mature as well. Tho some teens would still be welcome to come to the shows. But they would not be going for Ariana and Mendes fans for the most part. Thank goodness for that, lol.

I would totally go to an Adam/Christina concert. The staging and costumes alone would be epic. I feel confident that something will work out for them to do this in the future.
I've been watching a show on A&E called Celebrity Ghost Stories. Paula Abdul was on the latest one, from last week. Her story was interesting, introspective, and emotional, and it really gave me a new perspective on her as a person. Sometimes she appeared ditzy and unfocused on Idol. Her appearance on this show sort of explains why, and adds a new depth to her public persona. I love the psychic medium who joins each person on their trip back to the places where they experienced something paranormal. She acts as both a medium and an intuitive therapist.
I watched Adam's journey on Idol again last night. I was only going to watch a couple of the songs, but I stayed for the whole thing, which included the judges' comments. Paula was so enamored and impressed by Adam. I was glad I had seen her on the ghost show, because I watched her through different eyes this time. And wow, Adam was out-of-this-world intoxicating. Already a star.

If you're able, please report this account Krzysztof Krzysztof on youtube for harrassment or bullying on the YATC video. You can't miss the many negative posts harrassing Adam mostly, and also Brian and Roger. I've reported many of the comments, but if more people report, maybe they will do something to prevent more comments from this poster. www.youtube.com/watch?v=7LcLqIHzNkYI have reported this person several times. He is about as unhinged as they come. I know a couple of people reported him, too, but this is a case where numbers matter! He needs to lose his account. Things are escalating in a disturbing fashion. This is far more than a MM Troll or a casual passerby launching off insults.
