    If I’m reading Dr. Bri’s tweet correctly, could the surprise tonight be Gaga?

    Oh. THAT Ms. notdoingsowell.
    Ugh. Neutral

    I really hope they don’t. Tonight doesn’t need to be about doing any favors…

    Those fans deserve better.

    I also think that it could royally tick off some Queen fans.

    I suppose if she does end up performing…. it would be under the auspices of paying homage to Freddie. Being that he is an inspiration to her, she may sing one of his songs.

    Regardless, this show is not about shock & weird.
    (sorry if I sound offending to any gaga fans. I truly do respect her gifting & talents)

    This something different all together. QAL is elegant, classic & regal.
    Gaga is, well . . . . very different from that. Two totally different approaches to music. Would be an odd mix, imo.

    Honestly hard to imagine Gaga looking ‘normal’.
    But anyway, my view is not about costumes . . . It’s about a very different persona.

    Okay. I’ve had my say.

    You know, cher I had totally forgotten about that.
    And who knows? If she crashes the party, the audience may totally eat it up.
    One would hope for their sake, anyway.

    I hope if Adam does duet with her, he doesn’t hold back. Show her who’s Queen!

    Sums it up for me – then it’d be fine –

    One more thought:
    With all the PopArt bizarreness… there may be intent to “normalize” her a bit? Thinking

    ulti, cher…. Really, if Adam’s Sherwin pants get any tighter… he might just
    cut off his circulation…

    Ok I admit I was a non believer! Could he fill Freddie’s shoes? I’m pleased to report that @adamlambert did an amazing job! He is talented, witty and sooo good looking (ok I know his preferences don’t lie with my gender!). I enjoyed this show much more than I thought I would and relished the chance to rock along just like my old rock chick days!

    Tonight’s Sydney show #2 thread will be automatically posted at 4 AM EDT (6 PM in Sydney).

    I have not seen any info on dinner for tonight.

    Since the show will be on from midnight to 2 AM here in Hawaii, I’ll probably be asleep. Will get the thread updated on Wednesday.

    So Gagas definitely going…….can’t imagine her sitting in the audience with all the hordes like Adam does when he goes to a concert….and I can’t imagine that she won’t get up and sing if she’s there.

    Thank goodness she’s not sporting her black curly Brian May look-alike wig.
    That would be just ridiculous.
    Or kinda comical. (thing looks like a fro)

    I can’t decide … LOL

    I can fully admit Gaga’s talent/drive/smarts, but still have no interest in her whatsoever.

    After all these incredible pics & videos. . .
    I really don’t see any difference between apparent “activity” in
    his snug black stretchys … his Under plenty of Pressure pants . . .

    … and the Great Whites.

    So he may as well wear ’em, dangit!

    I wonder what is there not to like? Does he look at himself in the whites and think,
    “Do these make my butt look big?” lol
