"Petition against Q+AL"
Really? May and Taylor don't listen to fans so it's "wrong turn".
the best way is not buying anything from Queen.

So email Brian. He has a public email address. Tell him you think his little Queen tour sucks, but if his feedback there is anything like the comments at Save Me FB, the negative ones disappear.

Brian has handled criticism in such a way over the years that few would bother. He's absolutely guaranteed to get a skewed view of what the whole thinks. But whatever. It has to please and inspire them first, because the one sure worse thing than Adam Lambert up there would be having Queen up there for cynical reasons and with little belief and emotional investment in their own show.
There is a fair amount of staff standing between Brian and the public, and email goes through them so who knows what gets weeded out? He doesn't just rattle around that old house out there by himself.
I like Adam, though I am not unconditionally crazy about him, and I love Brian to pieces, and I really do want this little Experiment to work out for them. I don't think Adam is as soulless in his delivery as is often credited to him here, and I also think he jumped into this without a great deal of preparation and has been playing catch-up. You could say that about the whole thing, which seems somewhat uncharacteristic of Brian who seems to like to be well prepared for things, but he has so many irons in the fire these days......
There are some songs like I Want It All that I just don't see Adam doing, and I absolutely cringe when he does do it, and I think they really need two singers, Adam for the high end and someone else to handle the gutsier low-end songs, with some overlap. It seems to me that it would be a compliment to Freddie that it takes at least two other singers to attempt what he did.

Grateful, you just don't make sense when you explain yourself. Maybe Holly can help. Keep trying, though.
Thanks for the encouragement Fester. Always inspiring to see an educator so invested in intellectual bullying. ;)

That was kind of the point! Not every damn post needs a :) at the end to carry some levity. I do tend to forget how grim the written word can look sometimes, though.
Are you making fun of my :)? :'(

lol! Didn't see this until today. Nestor really is following you around like some sad internet stalker. For someone who boasts in almost every topic that he's an academic, you might think this kind of anti-intellectual bullying would ring a few alarm bells, but I guess his mega ego won't let him stop digging the hole he's in. Must be half way to China by now, the silly sod.
Greetings from China! I'm a regular 4chan, aren't I?

Yes it's very difficult to understand. Impenetrable really. An asshole, wrapped in a douche bag, inside insufferable pretention.

LOL@Holly and Grateful
This is just leveraging the wrong message.
Just tuned into the thread for the first time in ages... how is the petition doing?
A petition??!!!! HAAAA!!!! Hilarious! :D You sad, sad fuckers!
I deeply love Adam Lambert and really hope Queen collaborates with him again. He honors Freddie in more than one way. Adam is gay, and Queen still suffers from the ""shame"" of Freddie's gay lifestyle (Sarah Palin's Wasilla Alaska, for instance).
Brian and Roger's choice fof Adam was brilliant. Hopefully he returns. Freddie must be smiling at the very best honoring of him through this magnificcent person.
