2014 wraps up this month and what a year it has been. We did not get a new album but many of us got to see Adam and Queen perform live and will see them again in the UK and Europe. Adam still found time to record “Imagine” for UNICEF and starting December 1, also be part of “giveStars“ where all proceeds go to charity. Throw in a Classic Rock Award for Band of the Year and an appearance on the UK X Factor and I would say that it was a pretty good year for Adam and ALL his fans. December will probably be quieter as he prepares for the Winter 2015 Q+AL tour but we have plenty to keep us going until the tour starts. Here’s hoping that some news about the new album will be Adam’s year-end gift to us! He’s the gift that keeps on giving!! And speaking of gifts, how about spending NYE with Queen and Adam in London! What a way to ring in the New Year!!!
Enjoy the chat!

Al Dec.looks fabulous love all the photo choices. What a year you are so right on Adam the gift that keeps giving.
Thanks, AL – couldn’t have picked a better pic up top as far as I’m concerned – it’s a beauty and an iconic Adam pose – lovin’ it –
AL … Delicious December photos!!!
Thanks!!! Great choices as always!
And you included this one. Precious!!! http://www.imagebam.com/image/eaaa77367939404
Well, I can finally comment…..managed to watch the video early this morning before work…once or twice….and its now taken 1 1/2 hours since I got back to catch up and be able to post…doesn’t help that after I read a few comments I have to go back and watch the video again….
what can I say that hasn’t already been said (remind you of anyone??)…amazing performance. I always get really nervous when he’s doing a live performance on tv..there’s been a few where there has been a slightly dodgy first few notes. But this was perfect, he looked so relaxed, not nervous at all. The vocals were spot on, with great glory notes, the finalists didn’t spoil it, they just sang enough to make it cool, and they all looked thrilled to be singing with them. And the clothes…love the retro 1950’s look.
And all the great tweets….hope they all go out and buy tickets…and his album!!
I wonder if the ‘more good news tomorrow’could be more tv announcements….while he’s there maybe they’ve got him on some talk shows to promote the tour .
Hi sistasif!! AL, love the photos!! If there’s room for one more, I’d like to suggest one of the in the mirror shots – gorgeous!
Hi HK fan – loved your comments – spot on!
Killer Queen: Brian May, Roger Taylor and Adam Lambert rock out on X Factor
They performed a soaring version of Somebody to Love

I saw HKfan‘s comment there.
Huddle!!!
Sweet Best Thing I’ve Ever Seen / Impressed the Living Piss Out Of Me Dreams, ALL!!
I don’t normally comment asif…but there was only 2 comments, though there should be more…kept it very short though!
Hi December, what a gorgeous picture
!
Only 5 hours of sleep last night. Now I am scared to go shopping, if the news is something that requires immediate action – learned my lesson
I really hope it is an announcement of the single
Extra concerts have been informed more briefly…
Lol for someone had a restless night… Eye candy pic for breakfast
Love the pic Al!! Fantastic performance. Heard from my nephew and a friend from the UK. My nephew who went to Hammersmith with me and who has a ticket for the O2 said he did great and the female friend who never saw them together before said and I quote “Your man did good”.
So exciting. Can’t wait for tomorrow to see the actual show.
This was a huge win win for Adam. So many people watch UK XFactor and I bet his albums will pick up some sales from this. He was magnificent and to quote my oldest sister, pristine and polished!! That boy oozes stage presence and sex appeal. Unfreaking real!! Love him!!! Duh!
WOW! Didnt have plans for NYE, now I will
Stream…
OMG! I just saw that ladynorth! Awesomeballs!!
Yes Cher! Let’s hope there is a good stream
They are really going to treat UK in 2015.
I hope Adam doesn’t have to sing outdoors on NYE. Have to go and read the details.
Pity I don’t live in the UK!! Well just saying that. Quite happy and warm where I am. Tickets are going on sale for the NYE event!!
Would be about 6pm here.
There had better be a livestream ladynorth. We don’t get BBC One here only BBC America. Sadz.
Omg…my heart just beat extra hard…seriously, its thumping at the moment….was not expecting that…..and being broadcast live on BBC 1…huge
Time to get my expat tv back, then I can watch it live….
If I got it right this is the venue
http://www.c-h-w.com/venue/
I have no idea if BBC1 is possible here. Probably only if you pay for satellite channels… But I am sure some Brits stream it somehow. It will be late NYE for me, before and after 2 am. But it’s NYE
Have to go shopping now, I borrowed my mom’s car for that yesterday. I’m so late! Had to wait for what the news is. You go to sleep Cher my friend!

Great for New Year’s Eve! I took several days off around then but not enough time for a London trip. I think I get BBC1 on my cable so won’t have to go searching for a stream. Only about 4 weeks away! Was secretly hoping for a performance here in the states. Will probably never be here again.
Great photo up top!
whats the flight time luval???
I’m supposed to be flying to London friday night (seats permitting), arrive sat morning, fly back out sunday night….if I, who hates flying with a passion can do it, you can for NYE
OMG, this is fantastic! The only thing more exciting than last night’s performance was this morning’s news!
Why does everyone think that they won’t be able to get the concert on their local BBC TV? We get the Queen’s message etc. so why not this? The local BBC has to show something on NYE. Last year was Gary Barlow – very Brit – but this is more international and, if they get enough queries, perhaps they will show it. (if not live at least as a re-run on New Years Day?
I’m going to start bugging the BBC now. Of course, the contract might say UK only but….you never know. How much is satellite TV?
HK fan..The flight time for me with connection via Philadelphia or Charlotte NC totals at least 8-10 or more hours. And of course getting a seat on the flights over a holiday if you know what I mean. But anything can change! We’ll see.
BTW, BBC One is the biggest name in UK radio – if you don’t get BBC1 radio play you might as well give up on charting. This is a little like the iHeart concert. Through Queen, Adam has effectively put himself on the radar of two key radio networks. A major plus!
YAY! BBC1 has a live stream:
http://www.stream2watch.me/live-tv/bbc-1-live-stream
Hooking it up to the TV!
I wonder if you guys get anything like HKexpattv, that we can get here. It costs $400hk a month, we can watch it on the computer, or a smart tv if you have one, my husband even gets it on his phone. We can watch any UK channel live, has a 2 to 3 min delay, or rewatch any programme from the previous 7 days. we’ve stopped it at the moment…but I’ll get him to get it back before christmas. I know the company that runs it does do it in other countries, don’t know what it would be called though. The good thing is you only have to pay monthly, you’re not tied up to a 2 year deal like cable or Now tv over here.
Thanks TLKC
It alerts I am missing java and many other things, have to consult IT clever friends not to get my lap top full of bugs again.
This certainly is a nice first box to open in the Christmas calendar

When I was shopping, the cosmetics section of the store was full of Sauli pictures, those Kone ads for make-up, jewelry etc., and a booklet with all the pics. So I guess he’s not doing bad either
OMG – looking at the NYE venue, methinks I spy room for a Bohemian Rhapsody choir (or a cast of WWRY choir.)

Acoustics will probably be amazing!

Just had to watch the xfactor vid once more before bed…that vimeo is such great quality.
Love that vimeo, too.
One little quibble about last night – those creepers screwed up his “whirl” at the end. They are basically clodhoppers. I much prefer the shoes he wore to iHeart and on last year’s tour. They accommodate his incredible flexibility.
Ha ha Jacky is telling Q fans on email not to share the link!
ETA: just clicked the link and it requires your password so the link is pretty useless.
The NYE concert with Queen is such fantastic news. I almost jumped out of my seat when I saw the email about members presale when I got home a little while ago. Now, through Queen, the UK will know and love Adam, possibly claim him as their own and promote his new album when it comes out. (He had just better not let too much time elapse between the QAL concerts and the album release.) I just wonder if this is doing anything for his career in the States. With all the great on-line reviews and sold-out concerts, main-line Press and most of America still has no idea who he is, or if they remember him from Idol, don’t know where he is now. I don’t know if a stint of a couple of days judging on AI will change that. I am not being a Debbie Downer, really I am not. I love the way Adam’s career is going and I am delighted with his world-wide stardom. I just think that most of the USA is missing out on something great and I feel sorry for them. I still have this niggling conspiracy theory that TPTB are keeping the lid on him so that their “artists” can copy him and get famous for it.
rs…love your post. Of course I am the #1 Debbie Downer! Have been pretty good lately, though.
With a bit of luck, iHeart Radio may have Adam in it’s sights for the US. With this UK NYE event he may impress BBC1 radio, too. Maybe his singles will get some radio play in both countries.
We don’t know the name of his label yet – with any luck they are invested in him, not a copycat.
Would that “church” have enough room for the “Q”?
I think I am confused. Is BBC 1 a tv station or radio station?
TV ?
just got a glimpse on youtube of Queen and Adam Lambert’s magnificient performance on X factor UK (without the twirl attempt) and my internet provider blocked the vimeo video on this page… Le sigh.
luval, the key word in the press release is “watched.” (Why broadcast fireworks on radio LOLOL.) Kidding aside, it is both – they (BBC) have a TV channel (actually, four I believe) and radio (at least two). BBC1 is the most prestigious. Someone correct me if I’m wrong, going by my last visit in March 2013 after the WAG concert in Helsinki *sigh, soooo good!!!*
Amost another year
