Been out this evening and just checking in here. What great reviews!!! They are especially thorough and insightful, IMO, more than most. A real acceptance and appreciation for what Adam has given to Queen. Was taken by surprise a little with the one reviewer who had seen Adam on his solo tour and he described him as somewhat "uninspiring." I disagree, of course, but I can see that any comparison to his belting out the Queen catalog and singing his own material solo may be an unfair comparison. But it's a challenge that I know he can live up to. Hope Adam comes out of this QAL tour season and into his A4 era with guns blazing and be as COMPLETELY INSPIRING as we know he can be. Yep there were a few reviews that felt that way the last time. I think they wanted and expected a more rock Adam. Some just don't seem to accept him in the pop/dance arena. If he finds a way to make music with some of the Queen rock influence, it might bring some of those fans who love him into his solo tours.

IKR! LOL Glamberts can make a pilgrimage to Vegas. Actually that would work out pretty well for me.....lots of dates to choose from in order to get down front seats and Southwest flies direct from Birmingham to Vegas. Whoa! This sounds like more than just a rumor to me! I wonder if Roger and Brian would agree to it? I wonder how long the "run" would be? Actually this is a great way for Adam get more exposure outside his fan base and the QAL fans. The more he can show a wider audience what he can do, the better. More potential buyers of his solo music. More $$$$$$. It just might work! Vegas shows are plum gigs to get. Gaga will be there. Britney, Beyoncé, etc. have done a stint there (I think). And yes! I would make the trip, of course! As for A4, I'm sure it's still on the late 2018 early 2019 schedule. Well, Gaga is set to be there in December...so would have to end before then. Maybe they are trying to fill the calendar sometime in the late summer into the fall months. Elsewhere on the Park Theater calendar, Lady Gaga’s planned residency at the theater, set to begin in December, remains unchanged even as she was forced to cancel the final 10 dates of her Joanne World Tour. Her reps announced those spiked shows on Feb. 3, citing “severe pain that has materially impacted her ability to perform live.”

I agree. But Queen also has the up-tempo songs that he can rock with and even throw in a few dance moves, so he would not be restricted to ballads only. But the young arena acts (Mendes, Ariana, Bieber, Demi, Selena) are mostly appealing to the tweens and teens. Adam is a beautiful and sexy man who looks as acts like a rock star and I don't think he is trying for that audience. Most parents are not going to drive the kids to his shows. But I think if he were to put out music that was appealing to the young and a more mature audience (Adele, Same, Ed, Legend, Pink, some of the alt acts/lighter rock acts) and got big radio play and exposure as they do, he could fill those arenas too. I think his voice and talent will be more on display this time based on some of his interviews about bringing something different and more Queen influenced. I don't think he is making all these changes and moves just to try to blend in with the talent that is getting younger and younger and more produced. Sarah and lurleene, Ditto to both of you! Adam's demo is not tweens. But there is that great niche you mention (Adele, Sam Ed. Pink, etc. ) that he is perfect for. With new dynamic songs and some strong (new?) promotion, he could build upon it very nicely. And QAL has been an incredible learning experience for him, too. I think A4 will be new and different and exciting and risky and very sexy. And I also love that open-front, coat-kilt thingie. (Wish we had a vid of GDML. Maybe from the next show.) Sigh. There's a GDML from Auckland here in Lynneville's playlist. He didn't get down on the floor in his culottes...lol www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLOxuiinEi6F33C0s5zf_gxplRRu6BrBEx
