Icy, you seem reasonable and open-minded when it comes to Adam. At least I feel like you want to give him a chance. I don't understand why the fangirls don't see that. Perhaps I've missed some of your posts where you berate and trash him. The criticism I've seen of yours is very reasonable, and again, I can understand your perspective. Adam is not for everyone. I like him personally and think he's a very skilled singer, but can't fault anyone who doesn't particularly like his voice. I wouldn't say it's very palatable, like say Elvis. Listen to "If I Can Dream". As much technical skill as Adam has, there's no way I'd prefer him singing it over Elvis's version, even if Elvis is not as good a singer, technically.
Anyway, I have a 14 year-old son. We watched the Golden Globes together. I told him, there's no way Bohemian Rhapsody will win. He said, "Dad, you don't understand how popular Queen is right now." The popularity of Queen has increased dramatically because of the film. Adam is a very minimal part of it. So last night I thought maybe it would be a good idea to go see Queen in Nashville in August, take my son to see it. Unfortunately, my wife shot the idea down. I probably couldn't get tickets anyway, but for a moment, I thought about going.

Also, I agree, I'm glad Adam is toning it down with the high notes. Which is why I did enjoy "Believe". For me personally I didn't think the high notes were out of place, and not particularly high, like Adam has done in the past.
Here’s the info about the Elvis tribute on February 17th:

Maybe snifflese ( because sweetcaroline is never gonna reply to me again ) will correct me if I'm wrong, but here is why I think I get so much crap...partly anyways.
I don't defend AL. I don't like everything he does. I discuss him with people on all sides of it. Glamberts, AL fans, the ones labelled as "trolls", Queen fans, Q+AL fans. Rockchic is a better example than I am of being open minded, got to say that.
The day I call AL a tranny, a lady boy and stuff like that, yes, fire away at me and ?et me have it. I promise you this, I've never said anything like that, or have ever said I hated AL, but hey I'm hated by the main Glambert here ( not snifflese who said that ) anyways. What really appalled me is that someone sank so low as to drag my ill parents into her vendy against me, and says I'm like Trump...more recently that I'm actually Trump. Before that it was said as if I'm Hitler. Actually going to post the screenshot below.
Yes, I've said alot to and about sweetcaroline, but I've done nothing like what she has done regarding me. This screenshot is just one example. It's gone beyond bickering the last couple of months, it's gotten ugly as hell.
Sweetcaroline may come back to reply to you that I deserved what she has said here as a way to try to excuse herself.
I hope you get to see Q+AL someday, Brancelli.
I was shocked in the best way possible when Rami and Bohemian Rhapsody won the Golden Globes. I never expected it at all.
Queen are more popular now than they have been for decades. Wow.

I know I've said it before, but there are certain fans of Adam (2 here on this forum) that make you want to not like him, even if you do like him. He's probably one of the best singers in terms of technical skill I've ever heard. What I like about Believe is that he uses his falsetto in some parts, but when it comes to the big high notes at the end it's a very strong, not falsetto, but mixed. The guy is extremely talented, and there's not many singers who can do what he does. He's a very "Wow" singer, with what he can do. Many times I've shrugged my shoulders due to being so impressed.
Of course, there's a guy in Kazakhstan who's like Adam on steroids. I'm sure the 2 glamberts here wouldn't agree. No way Adam could sing these songs (they are wrong though in the first one, the C2 is an A2):

Thanks, and I was truly shocked as well. I haven't seen the movie, some of the people on this forum shot it down due to inaccuracies, so I've been a bit dubious about it. But, I am looking forward to seeing it at some point. I do want to see Queen in Nashville. I know Marc Martel lives in Nashville and will probably be there. I will beg. My son actually wants to go, even though he knows nothing about Adam. Anybody else here going to the Nashville show?
Brancelli, I hope you and your son are able to see the show in Nashville. I’m going to the Columbus, Ohio Show In August. I was fortunate to see the Chicago and Detroit QAL shows in 2014 and the Cleveland show in 2017 and they were all spectacular.
Lots of things about the Elvis tribute are popping up on my Facebook tonight. Here is one of Adam at the tribute:

Thanks Caroline. Just as Icy wishes Adam would tone it down a bit with the high notes, I am hopeful you will tone it down with the unhealthy praise of AL. I truly do want to go the show, just gotta get the boss to approve. Any advice?

I haven't seen it either, although I had plans to see it. My dad was diagnosed with Stage 4 cancer, and I was traveling back and forth to see him for weeks.
I will buy the DVD, I hope. The movie sure has many people discovering Queen and you bet I think that is a good thing.
Again, I hope you can go to a show, especially with your son, that will be a great memory for you both.
I keep forgetting about MM living in Nashville.
Guess Brian is still in L.A.:
“@DrBrianMay Dinner with King Adam !! Discussing Apple Pie. Did your Mum make it with cinnamon or not ?! What are the implications for the First Fathers ? And ... making some plans ! Bri”

Without knowing the reasons your wife has for not going...tell her it will be a great memory for you and your son to share, a bonding thing of sorts, even if she is unable or she doesnt want to go.
Good luck!
Just realized why there is so much Elvis news. Can’t believe his “84th” birthday was on January 8th (yesterday).
Brancelli, when I say the QAL shows are spectacular, I don’t say that because of Adam. It is because of the spectacular Queen music and the amazing cast and crew, who all work together with a chemistry of joy and fun and professionalism. All six guys—Brian, Roger, Adam, Spike, Neil and Tyler excel at what they do from the exciting opening to the last bow!
I’ve posted before that my greatest regrets are that I was not able to see Freddie live and Elvis live because they were both the best!

Brancelli, tell your wife that most people come away from the Queen shows saying it was the best show they have ever seen. Whatever the cost of the tickets, you will get more than your money’s worth. I swear Brian and Roger are getting younger instead of older and seem to be thriving from all of the love they get from their audiences!
Between these shows and the biopic movie, Queen music is getting the love it deserves and reaching some new fans in the process.
