Good luck, svca, wih the storm. I have seen news casts of all the flooding in CA. My thoughts with all who live there. This is my brain overworking. But, I am wondering, again, if Queen and/or Adam have some kind of problem. I notice weird things, so I'm just venting/thinking out loud. We haven't seen anything of Adam except for the photo getting off the plane. The band seems to have different arrangements on (what in my opinion) is quite a few songs with Adam leaving out his usual "ruffles and flourishes" as I call them, or changing to going low where he usualy went high and loud. No high heels with the silver outfit, so maybe only with the black if that, I couldn't see his feet, not all of the costume changes. He voice seemed to catch in TSMGO (unless just the audio). All of that being said, he looks and sounds amazing, as usual. I just have my fingers crossed that someone isn't sick or something. My brain is on overtime, can you tell its a slow day for me. I haven’t noticed anything unusual. I only think that - unlike the UK crew - Adam traveled from LA to Japan and probably arrived one or two days after Brian and Roger. What I did notice were the flat shoes for the glittery outfit. And I really loved it, because finally Adam was able to move and even run a bit on stage!

Nightowl, thank you for answering my question regarding the Teo song. I haven't had time to google it, we're dealing with a storm here in Cali and I've been busy trying to make sure we have had at least breakfast (and my coffee lol) in case our power goes out. Good thoughts to all our Cali Atoppers in the path of the storm. Good luck with the storm! 🤞

Adam looks GORGEOUS! Does anybody know the history of Teo Torriate (sp) ? I don't think I've heard it sung before. It's beautiful though. Teo Torriatte was written by Queen (well, actually by Brian) after their first tour in Japan in 1974. They hadn’t been that big in Europe or America yet, but the fans in Japan had welcomed them like real rockstars. The band was completely overwhelmed by all the love and fell in love with Japan. Freddie had lots of furniture and other things from Japan for instance. And Brian wrote this song, which Queen has always played in Japan, to give some of the love back to the people from Japan. By the way, Teo Torriatte was always played by QAL in Japan, too. Brian did it in 2014, 2016 and 2020 as part of his acoustic section, right after or before Love Of My Life. QAL 2014 youtu.be/NIDUjMgnwV4?si=AOEytw5oLh7xy38b Japan even used the song during their Opening Ceremony of the Olympics 2020 (I remember THAT big surprise!). It shows, how much Japan loves this little song. youtu.be/Rbcg7zvCJio?si=vXLP-F6e4ADVAqL2The original record from 1976 youtu.be/Ge18n2JCwBs?si=B9pv5mXtZhAzCktsAnd one last one: Queen performing the song live 1979 in Tokyo. Because it’s an excellent video for its age! youtu.be/WDynFluHPJs?si=_wYXOEggQvlCrYlT

This is such good news! Australia loves Adam. Lots of fun to look forward to! Adam is so great at everything he does. Hope the whole year keeps him very busy! Yes, this is great news for Adam. He is really sky-rocketing. I can't help but be a little sad, though, when I think of Oliver back in LA and Pharoah. I know it is their relationship and they work it out, but I would be so unhappy if my significant other was gone for so long. I wish they could both travel with him. I also wish he was this popular here in the US!!!!!!! Why do you think Oliver won’t travel to Australia with Adam?

I keep trying to make out what they are eating, but I can't. The same from Thanksgiving. It looks like an array of home-made items, but I can't tell what anything is! I wonder who did the cooking? Looks lovely wherever Adam and Oliver are. Can't tell if they're home or not. In the videos from Christmas Eve they were at home. According to one of their friends they played a Danish Christmas present game: Pakkeleg. I didn’t know that this was a Danish tradition. I‘ve played this here in Germany at some Christmas parties in the past as well. Here you can read about the game. allgiftsconsidered.com/pakkeleg-danish-gift-exchange-game/Adam’s and Oliver’s last Instagram stories have not been from home. It looks like they traveled to some holiday retreat in the mountains/desert on Christmas Day.

Does anyone know exactly what "venom" is? It seems to be Friday nights, but what on Friday night? Love the pics. Adam looks all dressed up, Oliver not so much. Hope they are enjoying their private time together. “Venom” is some kind of open party that Oliver and his friend Stephen host every Friday night at The Wild.

Adam looking very polished in that amazingly designed suit and top (plus perfect fit). Hope we see it again … it needs to be seen again. Busy, busy guy… supporting friends AND checking in on his new bar… in one night. Agree, he looks great. It kind of sounds like Alisan needs all the support she can get...I don't follow her, but I don't think she's exactly setting the music world on fire, is she? And she has a good voice. I get worn out just thinking about his schedule lol. Not a person that likes to go, go, go all the time...unlike my sister, who gets antsy if she sits still for more than 10 minutes. I think Alison’s main work is as a voice teacher. She has some regulars students and is also working for „The Masked Singer“, where she helps and teaches some of the contestants.

I could not agree more with your whole comment above @lurleene. "Oliver just brings attention to himself..." - exactly. I don't follow Oliver but it is difficult to escape his glitter bombs when being an Adam fan, and I don't even love all the stuff that Adam posts. Sometimes I just need to take a good break. Oliver said, "..we aren't dressing for you.." so I am wondering why there is so much need to post about everything on social media and then get all defensive when not everybody applauds? Did he mention "love" three times in one post mixed in with "venom"? Lol. Just my opinion. Most of these pictures are personal and posted on personal instagram pages. I rarely see parties posted on Adam's page. Not never but rarely. Now, I know the idea of social media is to be social, but if you don't like what you are seeing, why look at it. I love seeing Adam in all of his different versions, so I look. Some I like, some I don't. But, I don't comment because it is I who chose to look and it is their business what they are wearing - or not wearing (LOL). I think (again my opinion) sometimes Adam and/or Oliver feel the need to respond for whatever reason, but they don't seem to do it often. People party how they party. Adam's group likes to dress up and be over the top. It is how they have fun. However, I do believe you are correct, responding to negative comments is not necessary and does draw attention. I agree with what you wrote. It’s not Oliver’s fault that some of the big Adam accounts on X decided to repost every single picture that he posts on his Instagram account. Some fans should (or maybe even want to!) rather stick to only Adam’s pictures. But they have no choice.

Who is Oliver addressing? Adam's fans or non-fans or trolls? Adam has been in this business a long time and his fans comment about everything related to Adam, lol. Most celebrities get that so nothing new about it. HA. Oliver just brings attention to himself by fighting with fans or trolls. If they were not with Adam (he is the celebrity), would anyone care? Don't see how that helps Adam if this gets the attention of the press instead of promoting his wonderful performances and good works. I could not agree more with your whole comment above @lurleene. "Oliver just brings attention to himself..." - exactly. I don't follow Oliver but it is difficult to escape his glitter bombs when being an Adam fan, and I don't even love all the stuff that Adam posts. Sometimes I just need to take a good break.

Did he mention "love" three times in one post mixed in with "venom"? Lol. Oliver and even Adam use Instagram as one way to communicate with friends and family. They do like all the comments made by friends and family, Oliver often replies to them. They usually ignore all the fan comments. So at least Oliver‘s Instagram is not made for Adam’s fans. In general I don’t get, why so many fans or non-fans can’t just ignore pictures that they don’t like, but have to spread negativity. Scroll and let others enjoy the pictures. And Adam and Oliver their lives. I know it’s a bit different with Adam being a public figure. But these pictures were from a private party at home. And Adam hasn’t posted much ag all in the recent past. I‘m just happy, when he decides to share something that isn’t another mere promo post.
