    Okay, supper with some handsome boys. Woot, friends in London.

    None of whom are wearing a hat, and none of whom have played with their shavers and made their beard chinless.

    WTF???

  2. luval says:

    TWitter is saying he’s in Italy at a restaurant but how could that be if rehearsals started today in London.

    All look alike with their dark hair.

    Interesting observation by Northern Spirit over on Facebook.

    There were so many reviews of the New Year’s Eve concert that she read, both in print and online in the UK, and not one of those reviews used the word “gay” in reference to Adam.

    Yes

    Far cry from the U.S. press and blogs that, not always but most of the time, feel it’s necessary, I guess necessary, to preference the name Adam Lambert with “openly gay”.

    No

    Promising “big and daring” set design and presumably even bigger hair from Brian May, the band will be joined on their seven-date UK arena tour by American singer Adam Lambert, whose theatricality and sweeping vocal range is a perfect fit for the greatest hits.
    Metro Radio Arena, Newcastle (0844 493 6666), then touring

    Did Fallon put out that pic??

    Hmmmm.

    Methinks there may be an over-seas appearance for QAL on Fallon, by remote, hmmmmm…

    Fallon and his musical tributes are becoming legendary.

    I found it very interesting, very interesting indeed , that the director of that infamous BoRap music video was indeed the director of American Idol when Adam was on…***scratching chin and saying, hmmmmmm. ***

    Hi ALL!! I’m back after spending time with my family. The New Year has started off so wonderfully for all of us with the NYE concert and I’m so excited and overjoyed at the response that Adam is getting although I really can’t say I’m surprised – he truly is one in a billion – as a singer and as a person!

  17. sparkle says:

    I spent NYE going to several performances as part of a “First Night” celebration. A soloist with an orchestra performed “They Call the Wind Maria” – I had never heard that song live and it has special meaning to me. He had a beautiful, powerful voice and I really enjoyed it. Was surprised when Ryan Seacrest was showing celebrations around the world that he didn’t mention QAL when he talked about London!

  18. sparkle says:

    Sweet “Holy, Holy, Holy” Dreams, ALL!! Hope he does find somebody to love again this year! Of course, he does have ALL of us!!

    Hi sparkle! Hug Right

    No other singers version of this song can begin to compare with mine because mine … well, why spoil the surprise?

    Laugh

    Just yesterday, when I was 29, I could do this song with all the hard edge conviction and drive that’s needed to be able to pull it off.

    Now that I’m 29+ though someone, somewhere along the way, pulled the plug on me. Beyond my reach.

    weep

    But, I love the music and arrangement of this song so listen to that and just tune me out.

    Smile

    Maybe he could be the one who had the idea to invite Queen to the AI set.
    Remember Adam’s hosting job on the TV-show Diva’s ? The musical director on Diva’s was the musical director on AI when Adam was competing.

    And Nene Leakes who was Adam’s partner in crime in the comedy skits, is a guest star on Glee…

    OMG! Please get better soon, cher! I can’t even imagine what it must be like to be unable to walk. Praying for good news on Monday. Take care, my dear!

  27. TLKC says:

    RE: Turin pic – photos of Adam have a way of turning up a day late – maybe he flew back to London in the late evening or early morning. Or maybe the rehearsals today are all about the band. Remember, prior to the GN tour Monty had some strictly band rehearsals.

    RE: the guys in that pic – remember when Marcus opened that new restaurant this summer?

    http://www.latimes.com/food/dailydish/la-dd-first-look-the-nice-guy-west-hollywood-20140818-story.html

    Sometime in the Fall, Adam was photo’d there, sitting with a group of guys who were visiting from Italy. Methinks some of the same guys are in both pics.

    I’m trying to find the pic but googling “Adam Lambert” and “Nice Guy” brings up a lot of articles, LOL!

    ETA: I have looked and looked and can’t find the pic. Will try again later.

    Oh Cher, I’m so so sorry that you won’t be going to see QAL!! Please feel better, keep your social media close, and stay off your feet!

    It’s so hard to switch roles from giver and doer to the “taker.” I know from personal experience and from my work, it is a challenge. I honestly hope that you are feeling better soon. Meds help!!!!

    Oh, and Adam vids and pics are just the right tonic.

    That photo gallery posted above by our ulti

    http://www.adamlambertphotos.org/portfolio/G0000eApyvx9IySM

    should do just the trick. The NA Italian photo book gallery is very nice. Very nice indeed. I only have opened that one so far, but, lordy, #11 is beautiful. That repose is just how I always imagine Adam from Toronto 1. Le sigh.

  30. milwlovesadam says:

    LOLOL luval, the trucks!!!!

    Honestly, I think I’d faint if I ever saw one of those…

    I remember when Idol was on tour in my town, I left work and drove to the arena they were playing here, lulz, about 4 whole downtown blocks, and just stared at the trucks. Knowing they were in my town, that Adam was in my town, just gave a me a huge thrill. I even saw them move from the hotel across the street to the arena parking area, near the loading docks. They stayed at the Hilton.

    Gawd, I’m such a juvenile.

  31. mmm222 says:

    luval– I’ll do everything in my power to get a good QAL truck photo for us when I’m in Europe. They look great!

    Thanks, mmm222.

    I’m curious too about the Jimmy Fallon photo. I follow him on twitter and you’d think he would have posted it there, but nothing. I did tweet him the entire NYE show, however. Smile

    I want to say to some of these people who complain about why bother to go if the seats are bad…that Adam’s voice and the band soars to the farthest reaches of the arena and you will hear so many songs you’d never thought would ever be sung again.

  35. luval says:

    Not that funny to me but maybe it’s because I’ve never seen mean girls.

    Dear Cher I am so sorry to hear what happened to you. I had a similar experience years ago. I am sending strong vibes from the universe for good news on Monday. My only advice to you (from a fellow Pisces) is.. do not use the toilet paper holder to help get up and down from the toilet they break and therefore another accident will occur. Pain

    Venice! My favorite city. I’m so glad Adam got there. He will love it. Just sorry it couldn’t have been in February for the Carnival. He would have gone absolutely bonkers for that. He would have been able to dress up to his heart’s content! Dance

    Haven’t seen this posted so here’s a translation of that Polish magazine QAL interview. Remember I didn’t care for the Classic Rock guy’s theory that being gay like Freddie was the reason Adam clicked so well with Queen? Well, in the section called MAN OR WOMAN, Adam refutes that and says it was MUSIC that made them click. Wish it had been said in an English-language mag. Although, have to be diplomatic because Classic Rock has featured them so much, I guess.
