    Don’t know if krad is hanging around here, but I got a surprise package from her yesterday. Chocolates, sugar plums, a book, tea bags, gossip mags, an Adam Lambert bag… to keep me busy and cheer me up and obviously happy snacks. Thanks Krad. Laugh

    Dance Dance Dance Dance Dance Dance Dance Dance Dance Jump Jump Jump Jump Jump Jump Jump Jump Dance Dance Dance Dance Dance Dance Dance Dance Dance Dance Dance I think that that was the loudest (remember the venue was smaller) and longest cheer for the New Guy yet! They would have continued if Adam hadn’t have stopped them so he could get on with singing CLTCL. Who said that the French weren’t so crazy about Adam Question

    @cher..
    So nice of Kradamour. Was hoping to “meet” her now at ALL, as Adam performed in Paris…
    thank you for that fun clip in which Adam got that thunderous applause from the audience…really touched my heart…

    Just a few tings..
    crazy = fou (Adam only heard the “ou”)…
    He is crazy: il est fou
    She is crazy: elle est folle…

    And Brian said:
    J’ai une autre question… I have another question…

  8. Axxxel says:

    Usually for the concert videos, I go to see STL, WWTLF, DSMN or TSMGO… but lately when I leave home for work… another tune kept playing in my head: KQ !!

  9. Axxxel says:

    Mieps and I speak dutch… but if I am not mistaken, Mieps will be at the concert in Amsterdam… and I may be in bed… As for Brussels… I think I will try to stay awake as Brussels is bi-langual (flemish-similar to dutch-/french)… and just out of sentimental reasons LOL….

  11. milwlovesadam says:

    Hi guys, I’m home again with my ickiness.

    Just listened to TSMGO, and wow, he really pushed it hard ( vocally ) ** pervs*** on that one!

    (( Hey, I may be home sick, but, I’m still me !!! )) Muwhahaha

  12. Axxxel says:

    @ultimathulevery interesting this Paris Match article in which they mention their doubts first, but then say that Adam is much better than Paul Rogers.`Also that the set was very varied. And the writer likes Roger’s and Brian’s musical solo’s. So I guess the writer is on team Queen but was won over by Adam’s performance…

    Sentences that I like about the article:

    Adam rugit, Adam danse, Adam chante, Adam provoque, Adam fait le boulot, mille fois plus que Paul Rodgers entre 2005 et 2008.

    Adam roars, Adam dances, Adam sings, Adam provokes, Adam does the job 1000 times better than PR (2005-2008).

    Adam est là pour rendre hommage à son idole et se fiche de la comparaison.

    Adam is there to pay tribute to his idol and he does not give a d*mn about the comparison.

    Qui aurait cru qu’en 2015, Queen, n’ayant pas composé un titre nouveau depuis 20 ans, sonnerait avec une telle fraicheur ?

    Who would have thought that in 2015, Queen still sound fresh although they did not have composed a new song for 20 years ?

    Qui imaginerait qu’un jour Brian May et Roger Taylor trouveraient enfin quelqu’un pour chausser les crampons de Freddie Mercury ?

    Free translation (help Calgary<bold\):
    Who would have thought that one day Brian May and Roger Taylor would finally find someone to take on the spiked shoes of Freddie Mercury?

    Même les puristes se pinçaient, hier soir à Paris, il y avait «a kind of magic» dans l’air.

    Even the purists were pinching themselves yesterday in Paris. There was " a kind of magic" in the air…

  13. Axxxel says:

    review… but I think it is written by a Glambert because of the mention of Whataya want from me…and also mentioned about the 3rd upcoming album… Or maybe it is just someone who made their homework…

    http://www.justmusic.fr/actualites/queen-adam-lambert-au-zenith-de-paris-nous-y-etions-145124

  14. Axxxel says:

    review but more team Queen and special mention of Roger Taylor and the fact that Roger brought his son…

    http://www.directmatin.fr/musique/2015-01-27/queen-en-concert-25-ans-apres-freddy-mercury-698514

    Alors que beaucoup de fans s’opposaient au remplacement du chanteur historique de Queen, Brian May (guitariste) et Roger Taylor (batteur) décident de faire confiance au jeune chanteur.

    Even though many fans were against the replacement of the historical singer of Queen, BM and RT decided to trust the young singer (=Adam)…

  15. riskylady says:

    Some really good videos in that batch posted by Glambotgram! Notable: STL, HOLY CRAP THAT FINAL RUN! And TSMGO, another HOLY CRAP ending!! Save Me was lovely, captured very well from the beginning. ITLOTG lovely too. RGG, great, but left me pondering about Alexander Morner’s claim of extensive chest-groping. Adam moved pretty fast and only stopped briefly twice, seemed to step up above the crowd a little. And that white shirt isn’t low, covers him pretty well. So, grain of salt….

  16. milwlovesadam says:

    Yes, risky, methinks that fan is quite young and quite enthusiastic!

    I totally agree that Adam was vocally super-charged yesterday. It’s like he knew had a couple of days off and just went for it.

    Then again, whenever he has a hot venue, it’s like the sweat gives him energy!!

    Whatever it was, those Parisians sure got a helluva show.

  17. milwlovesadam says:

    Adam rugit, Adam danse, Adam chante, Adam provoque, Adam fait le boulot

    Oh my, seeing this in French….ahem………..

    (( Has anyone here ever seen A Fish Called Wanda?? Kevin Kline scenes, with a boot?? )) LOLOLOL

  18. Axxxel says:

    A faint imitation of rs’s research…
    From the 3 french articles I read above, only the third one mentioned that Adam was discovered through American Idol…(no mention of runner-up).

    I had the impression that Article 1 and 3 were team Queen while article 2 was more team Adam…

  19. Axxxel says:

    @milwlovesadam Everything sounds sexier in french… and I don’t recall the story of the “Wanda movie” but I do remember that I loved it when I saw the movie… John Cleese and Kevin Kline… sigh… LOL…

    While reading the french articles…I suddenly read that singer Demis Roussos passed away…RIP.. Rain and Tears…

  24. milwlovesadam says:

    Thanks AL, I put that through Google translate, and it was one of the best reviews I’ve read in a while. Very respectful of Queen and Freddie, acknowledging the loss of Freddie and the need to play the music for the next generations, and loving Adam.

  25. Axxxel says:

    http://www.byzegut.fr/2015/01/queen-adam-lambert-paris-zenith-26.html

    Personal blog, a sceptic, who was afraid that Adam would be too over the top after watching some videos… but he seems to like the QAL concert and gave it A+. He did not like the music solo’s though… No mention about Adam’s background…

    The comments were mixed.. lovers and haters…

  26. milwlovesadam says:

    Adam and Rufus (and manager) out in Paris.

    Gorgeous, rockstar, superstar gorgeous, leather shirt. I’ll say it again. LEATHER shirt. Laboutain’s. Stunning.

    Riskylady I thought the same thing about Radio Gaga when I watched it this morning.

    Leather shirt indeed. He looks fabulous

  29. Axxxel says:

    @milwlovesadam…especially for you, freely translated by me from the chartsinfrance article :

    Sur “Another One Bites the Dust” ou “Fat Bottomed Girls”, il étincelle, cabotine, joue les effarouchés, danse, fait la moue, remue des fesses, du bassin, use et abuse d’un sex-appeal torride et animal.

    On “AOBTD” or “FG”, he sparkles, he camps it up, he dances, he pouts, moves his bottom and the pelvis, it’s a use and abuse of a torrid and animal sex-appeal

    All your fantastic work is greatly appreciated!!! Heart Rose Grin

    It’s so amazing that we are so global here.

    We are watching and listening to the show in France from our different parts of the world. Instantly we get twitters, photos, IGs, to tell us what’s going on. What Adam is wearing and how hot he is (sweats a lot.) Sweat Hypnotized In Love

    Then a few minutes after the show we get to listen to the whole show from the recorded stream. Then videos, photos, reviews are streaming out. Grin Dazed Hypnotized Drool weep Cry ROTFL

    Most of the twitters and reviews are Greek to me ..ooops … French to me. I’m clueless. Question IDK Struggle Side Frown
    But we have you and other French speakers here translate it for us. Grin Rose Heart

    It’s just so WONDERFUL!!! in this fandom. Heart

    Adam … indeed is a WORLDWIDE SUPER STAR!!! Star Star Star Star Star Star Star

  47. sparkle says:

    Bonne nuit et beaux reves from Etincelle (Sparkle in french if I’m reading AXXXEL’s post translation correctly!)

  48. asifclueless says:

    Good Night .. sistaEtincelle!!!

    Haha … Pretty lame of me. Laugh

    ulti … Now I remember that Adam flapped his arm and hand like that (to Roger) at the beginning of Red House at WinStar, Thackerville on NYE-2013.

    Am I right?? … For people who went to that show. Question
