So, I guess then we will have to read another 100 times about the BoRhap flubbs in the future...
As you might see, I‘ve no problem discussing these things. It can be interesting. But not time after time after time the same. That’s why I‘m out.

Snifflese and I were even discussing it civilly. But out comes the Adele videos by sweetcaroline to point out she too messed up, even though it had nothing to do with Q+AL. So it's not only me.
I'd talk about the other times AL screwed up if you like, but that's even further back.
My POINT is that Adam doesn’t stop, swear and start over. He powers through and only the annoying nitpickers are offended. So I guess no one would mind if HE stopped, swore and said “oh dearie me, I’ve forgotten the words?”

Both AL and Adele handled messing up differently. Not as if you like Adele in the first place. Why even post her messing up? Because you know I like her and to shift the discussion? I've never denied she messed up. A few times, I tried to explain to why she likely messed up at the George Michael cover. You still can't accept that for some reason.
What would your reaction be if AL ever had to start over? He isn't perfect, no one is. If you are offended by Adele swearing, I know AL swears too.
Annoying nit pickers you say. Are you defending AL again and being upset by what I'm posting? Sure seems like it.
@sweetcaroline
Every artist is different. I don‘t think, that starting over is a good way to handle lyric flubbs. Apparently Adele thinks differently.
All that had also been discussed by you before.
The friend i mentioned, who was at that Tokyo show, might have been happier, if the boys had started over on TSMGO, by the way.
@ironbutterfly
I actually thought, you belong to the second group, that I described. And you even confirmed it. Even without knowing every concert, I‘m absolutely sure, that we could find lyric flubbs in every show. Usually not that noticeable, but they‘re there. No need to discuss old ones. ;-)
But don‘t worry: I won‘t go there.

Yes, I'm a Queen fan first and foremost, that is the group I am in. I've listened and watched many streams, videos regarding Q+AL, and I have noticed mistakes here and there. I get stick for posting about Bohemian Rhapsody and how he messed up, if I pointed out other songs and parts he messed up, I doubt it would be pretty. I was disappointed when he messed up Save Me a few years back, and that's my favorite Queen song I've heard and seen him do. I think he got it together with that song after he messed it up. Bohemian Rhapsody, three nights in a row. To my ears it was very noticeable, and I noticed as soon he did it. I would not have minded if Bohemian Rhapsody was started over, actually I'd have more respect for it, or at least given a reason why he messed up. I think some fans said it had to do with monitors?
I'm not being offensive here, stubborn yes ;-).
Most musicians don‘t start again, when they messed up. I can’t see Queen ever doing that. There are several reasons:
1. When exactly is the mistake that big, that it would be better to start over? Who decides that?
2. They are a band. If they started over every time one of them has a problem/fails, they would need to start over on a regular basis. (Just imagine RiR 2015! With all the issues they had, they would have needed to play every second song twice.)
3. The result would be, that everyone in the audience recognized the mistakes. The band would be considered unprofessional.
4. Especially concerning lyric fails: You said, that Lambert got BoRhap 3 nights wrong. Do I remember it correctly, that it was always in the same verse? If it was at the same moment each time, then it weren’t the monitors. It‘s a typical memory fail. The melody is the same and the brain has the wrong connection. Had they started over without Lambert being able to read the lyrics, he would have certainly had the same problem again at the same moment. It was the same with TSMGO: he had the same problems the nights before. But thanks to a teleporter on stage he had been able to save it earlier. The nights later, he stayed in front of that screen for the whole song. ;-)
Problem: During BoRhap he was on a little lift without the possibility to look at his little helper.
So starting over wouldn‘t help in most cases.
As long as the singer is able to go on, even though he is singing wrong lyrics, most people really don‘t recognize it. And for fans it’s usually rather amusing. I still remember Freddie’s „Lalala“, when he couldn’t remember one of the verses. And Roger’s face, when Lambert made up some strange lyrics at RIR was priceless as well. As Brian says: Live shows are dangerous.

Yeah and I wouldn't take his lyric flubs on Queen songs personally either, he messes up the lyrics to his own songs as well. His song Two Fux mentions ADD and judging from what his mum & dad said about him as a child it's possible he does have that, hence his concentration lapses. Who knows, but at the end of the day he's far from the only singer who forgets lyrics.

Like you said earlier though, every artist handled messing up in their own way. I can understand why Adele started over...and IMO, she pulled it off.
I don't expect perfection in live shows. I remember watching one of the shows along with a friend when he messed up Bohemian Rhapsody. I couldn't believe it, because it was that song. And honestly, I think that song means something to AL, considering what he had to say recently the magazine article. We both know BR is a heck of a song to sing.
I feel kind of bad now... honestly very bad because I never thought about ADD to be honest. I will try to cut hm a break about messing up. I'm sorry.

Embarrassing seeing this tool who wants to be taken seriously visiting a morning brunch show for the housewives. Well it s the new core audience now so it is understandable. In glorious times they catered for the rock fans
