Advice?

Adam is not trans. He said he is cis (whatever that means)!

cis means he identifies as the gender he was born, so not transgender/transsexual but I think runner is calling him a transvestite. Bit confusing when trans can mean any of those.

“#MusicMonday Adam Lambert describes exciting new music “there's rock n' roll vibes, there's funk, there's singer/songwriter vibes, a little blues, & there's a lot more soul. It just feels more classic that way, but there's still a modern edge to it."

That's nothing new. He said that pretty much the same thing weeks ago with the Wonderland article or interview. Don't try to rehash stuff here too, for Pete's sake. You did the same thing on QOL four or five times.

Couldn't you look it up what it means? You are so careless at times on Queen boards, 'the gay thing again' and now whatever cis means, you say. It would take a minute to look it up, after all you manage to find out everything else about AL.

I never posted that on QOL and your favorite “rehash” word gets people in trouble because you don’t know how to mind your own business!

More than once you ended up posting links that were nothing but rehashing about what his new music will sound like from the Wonderland article. Once right before your current absence from QOL, and four times before that. Don't even try to deny it.
No dear, you get yourself in trouble. Yes, sure rehashing that you did is something else that you will blame me for, I suppose.

It was a whole different article and yes you are a miserable busybody who should mind her own business!

Ok, I apologise now. Thought it was the same that you had already posted, because how AL described it the music is pretty much how he described it n the Wonderland article. Hand up, I was wrong.

It is my business when you post the exact same thing, just with other links. That's spamming and trolling, and I hope you don't end up doing it here as well. That's not my being miserable and a busy body, because very rarely do you even bother to explain what is in the links you post. I bet if other outlets pick up on this AL article, you will post about that too.
I guess you can't stop promoting the guy. Are you hoping runner and happystar will turn into AL fans or something? If so, good luck with that, LMAO.
I dare say AL is going to need luck too, especially without WB. Even if some other record company snaps him up, after AL has invested so much time with Q+AL, it's going to be hader for him for his solo music. It seems like he wants to try as many genres as possible...and sometimes that is very hard to pull off, even harder to be successful at it.

Exciting new music no sane person wants to listen to thats why he got dropped from Warner. Thanks Warner Kudos for keeping the airwaves Lamebird-free!

Freddie was a very successful singer for Queen but when he went solo he found it so so hard and sadly his album struggled. The same will happen to Lambert when that fine day comes and he quits
singing in a karaoke group, he will be on his ass.

Why is this comment even in this thread?

The reason it was so so had or Freddie to sell his album was that he simply wasn't a bigger name than Queen.

He also lacked the input of the other three when recording the album as a solo artist, in the position of making all the decisions.

Of course I'm sure someone will question this in a pretty expected way!

Back to topic: Stay away from this mess as far as you possibly can

VH you talk utter drivel again, Freddie was bigger than the other three easily, he was the first in the band to score a number one for nine weeks with Bohemian Rhapsody,
He was the first in the band to get an ivor novello award for Killer Queen and as you should know he took over the whole Queen legacy from Crest to brand.
He was also the most easily recognisable member of the band. Ask anyone who is Freddie Mercury and they will say lead singer in Queen.

So folks.

I should have anticipated that the discussion might stray away from my original question, but I thank everybody for the advice given.

I am already at work, the concert was yesterday. And it was simply awesome. I must say I am terribly thankful for having changed my mind and decided to go to the concert.

It was a great experience. At first, it took a while to get used to Lambert. Yes, he is nowhere near Mercurys singing voice. And he has (from my point of view at least) a slightly different stage persona than Freddie. He seemed more flamboyant, more pronounced. And thats okay.

At first, it was a bit difficult when you know the voice and songs of Freddie..but they are sung by someone else. At some points thoughts popped up in my head in which my mind presented me the way Freddie had sung the song, which was then accompanied with some regret.

But mostly it was allright. Lambert did not ruin the songs for me. Though he was not a competition voicewise and Freddy (for me) also had a more compelling stage-personality, I can see why they chose him. I guess anybody who would go to a Q+PL-concert and asking "yeah how will he match up to Freddy?" is bound to be disappointed, which I could totally understand.

Of course, there were millions of songs which they did not play. After all, we're talking about a band who published music for over 20 years. So yeah. I think it might be hard for some fans to distinguish that, although the name Queen is on it, they are not touring as Queen (wich would imply that maybe they'd also play lesser known songs from time to time) but as Q+AL, they are bound to stick to the more known songs, I guess.

It is a celebration of Queen. I would have loved to hear other songs as well, but yeah. I do not know for how long the guys will be doing this, but I guess, not too long. So I just revel in the knowledge of having heard some of their songs by 50 % of the original band. And I was also by the way they integrated Freddy in the show for these two or three occurences. It had me on the verge of shedding tears. All in all, thanks for that wonderful experience.

liveistheshow : Well glad you enjoyed the experience of the show.
Brian & Roger always deliver a good show but unlike you i could not bare to hear those songs sung by someone else as your right it is rather upsetting.
My last Queen show was back in 1986 and for me the Queen chapter is closed.

Good photo. Glad you decided to go, and that you enjoyed it. YouTube really does it no justice, you can't beat being part of the experience.
