That sounds wonderful to me as long as they go heavy on the singing. I assume it will involve more than singing? I just read the blurb and wasn't totally sure. I bet many Queen fans won't like it, since it is a reality talent show and that is one of the biggest complaints about Adam! I think that is ridiculous, but a lot of folks here seem and on QOL to find it areal problem. Personally, I don't care where an artist is found as long as he or she moves me. Very interested in hearing Dimash. Thanks for the info!

Yeah, I was very surprised to see him on it. There were five or six commercials, but one of them was all Dimash, even claimed he had the world's greatest vocal range. From what I've seen I don't think it will be predominantly singing. Looks kinda like an America's Got Talent but showcasing people from all over the world. I think the only reason Dimash did this show is garner attention in America, as he is already an established star in Asia.

Well, I can't find the commercial I saw, but Dimash is in this promo @ 20 and 24 seconds.

That sounds interesting, I can't tell if the contestants will just be regular people or already known in their field but along with the judges it says there'll be a panel of 50 experts from around the world they have to impress as well. I can't get CBS so I'll have to see if it get's uploaded anywhere when it starts.

I think it's possibly true about Dimash's range, it's something like 6 Octaves or more, insane stuff.

There you go, no freaky clothes, Adam on James Corden last night - http://youtu.be/lihUT3a_cCo

James Corden has a palatable voice and can sing! Thought this was great . . . glad they were able to get the new lyrics right, especially considering Adam is not exactly a sports aficionado. I'm guessing Corden is a fan of Adam, as I think he's been on his show a few times?

On a side note, Corden's the host a new show that was being promoted during the AFC championship game. It's called "The World's Best" and will premiere on CBS February 3rd, directly after the Superbowl. Dimash was featured in one of the commercials as one of the participants. First time I've seen him on U.S. television.

Yeah he had Adam on for his 50th show singing WATC with changed lyrics and they did the front man battle when QAL were doing promo for the 2017 North America tour. Whoever did the lyrics for the football one were pretty quick coming up with them and they seemed to fun doing it.

Cheers for the link, I imagine it made people there laugh, they were always playing around like that and still do a bit.

You think billions of true Queen fans accept that?

Well their shows keep selling out so clearly they do, and that clip is from years ago he doesn't look the same now anyway.

So who's buying the tickets, is it the fans that you have often said Lambert doesn't have or is it the fans Queen do have but aren't interested.

They regularly fill the venues Queen used to play in the 70's and 80's and occasionally sell huge numbers at outdoor shows, so either Lambert has the same sized fan base Queen had, or there are Queen fans in their tens of thousands, maybe millions joining Lambert fans to buy tickets.

Either way they have an audience who ants to see them.

As long as I get to hear Dimash, I will definitely be tuning in, although I don't like America's Got Talent. I just enjoy the singing, so I love being able to record and scroll through the various acts to find acts that I am interested in! I have put it on my calendar.

Somebody must be attending the QAL concerts. I think there are a ton of folks who go to multiple shows. You have the Queen fans, the Adam fans and the new fans and that is getting to be quite a big number. I only go once to each tour, but I have met so many people that go to 5-10 shows on a tour and it is mind boggling. I have never experienced that before. It seems if you like QAL, you REALLY like it! And of course, the biopic coming out when it did stoked the flames and made the tour even more popular!! Works for me as I know that I am in for a treat. I just get such a kick out of the 2 old gents and Adam together. I love them all!! Brian is the one I would love to meet. Something about him just speaks to me!!

Not only that, there are 7.7 billion people on Earth and he thinks at least 2 billion of them are Queen fans.

VH I think the majority of ticket sales are people wanting to see Brian & Roger and the rest are loopy females with a teen crush on Lambert who take there grannies and uncles etc.........
Queen still out sell anything Lambert has done.
If Lambert had had not been offered the Queen vocalist position i doubt he would be performing on such massive world stages, but Queen are at home performing on such a massive scale.

Actually more people prefer Queen with Freddie than Adam Lambert and that is a fact!

Of course they prefer Freddie, but Adam is a nice alternative.

January 20 was the day he auditioned with the Queen song, Bohemian Rhapsody. I’m glad he celebrated the 10th anniversary of that day by performing a parody of the Queen song, Don’t Stop Me Now.

What’s this? Whoopi Goldberg thinks QAL should open the Oscars broadcast:

“@WhoopiGoldberg -have @QueenWillRock + @adamlambert open the Oscars by singing “We Are the Champions” @TheAcademy”

That would be an awesome idea! In addition to playing at the Super Bowl instead some of those limp bands that get chosen whose music has nothing to do with sports. Obviously most of Queen's catalog isn't for sports, but We are the Champions and We will rock you sure are played at any sporting event I have ever been to, including the NBA, NFL and the NHL. I haven't enjoyed a super bowl act in forever. But the Oscars would also be great as Bohemian Rhapsody is so huge this year. That would be a treat for Brian and Roger and they would deserve the recognition!!

What a horrible idea :(

Maroon 5 has already been picked to perform at this years Superbowl.

I know they have. That is why I said limp and I really like Maroon and Adam Levine. I just don't feel their music translates to a football game, nor have any of the acts recently, other than maybe Gaga. Her music is energetic, the others not so much. You need some banging rock and stadium anthems which Queen can provide.
