Since Adam is such a popular star in China and will likely be making many trips over there in the future, or next week,  I hope he (or his people) has kept himself informed of some basic 411, like for instance, who's the new President of China? you never know what you might be asked on TV in front of hundreds of millions?
That's right! By late this week, China will have a new boss, a new president by the name of Xi Jinping but I'm more interested in his wife, the First Lady-to-be, Peng Liyuan.
("Ms. Peng performing in April 2007")
"Ms. Peng, 49, is a hugely popular folk singer who has been more famous than her husband for most of his career. Hundreds of millions of people have heard her sing during the country's annual Spring Festival pageants on television; she is also a major general in the People's Liberation Army musical troupe. It is a striking change from the past three decades, when Chinese leaders' spouses have kept low profiles. Liu Yongqing, the wife of current President and Party chief Hu Jintao, rarely appears—and seldom speaks—in public, even inside China.
"Ms. Peng has accepted more public responsibilities recently, hinting that she could take a more active first-lady role. Last year she became a goodwill ambassador for tuberculosis and HIV/AIDS for the World Health Organization. In May this year, she appeared alongside Bill Gates in Beijing as part of an anti-smoking campaign."

Thanks, Maddie, for keeping us informed! * I'm loling so hard rn at 'a hugely popular folk singer who has been more famous than her husband for most of his career'Sorry  I'm sure she will make a great first lady. |

I thought those DVDs Vistadiva made were for the US only. Ooops... I must have misunderstood too, Gelly.
Off to the Member Only thread to request those DVDs. ;D

Thanks, Maddie! This is another sign that "the times they are a changin" IMHO. I think Adam would really impress the Chinese audience if he knew this information and even listened to a couple of her songs. Will he be having any interviews while he's there? If so, maybe after, SA, a bunch of folks should tweet this link so he might notice it. Couldn't hurt.

Seems like it would be very helpful. |

Hay, has anybody ever heard Adam's SiriusXM performances? They got recorded back in Feb this year. Just found them by accident on YT. He sang WWFM, TP, OOL, BTIKM, Fever & Purple Hazel. All unplugged. Every song he sang differently than the usual acoustic versions. ALL FREAKIN GOD DAMN BEAUTIFUL! Here's the link (donno how to embed them here) www.youtube.com/watch?v=DHMeTSoJp-c&feature=BFa&list=PL6D7AC5122A96F886There's a soundcloud of the whole hour, but I could only find this: Larry Flick talking about the show before it aired. Worth a listen! [soundcloud]http://soundcloud.com/scorpios4music/2012-05-15-adam-lambert[/soundcloud] |

Does anyone know if it's the Cape Town concerts that Raja got involved with the re-design? I understand that the dancers have been added -- I wonder if the "look" is going to change. Can't wait to see!
