After a well received first show, Queen and Adam play the second of two back-to-back shows at the Allphones Arena in Sydney. Apparently Lady Gaga is attending, and may be performing as well.
Enjoy the concert and the chat!

Very interesting that Adam favorited these tweets. He obviously doesn’t want fans’ whining comments on news stories.

Oh ma gaahhhh…. This One.
I love the closed eyes… his expression… lighter natural hair… his look…
everything below the look….xoxox
And I adore this outfit on him. One of my favs of the tour.
I think it’s stunning & classy, and highlights his features.
Geez… I can’t even look at this photo too long. It just does thangs.
Hi jess! Welcome!
You snuck in on the last post of the page.
Thanks for posting the video link for WWTLF.
It’s great! I certainly don’t hear any voice fatigue on that one.

“Absent: American Idol contestant Adam (L) – who is seen here performing on stage with Brian, was nowhere to be seen at the Aussie animal encounter.”
(Maybe had some other encounters in mind.)
Hi … jess.
Welcome to our playground.

So many female singers do this “squat” thing –
I posted the Melbourne thread already if anyone wants to hang out there and post any pre-concert goodies.

asif…as soon as I saw that headbanger in the Bo rap video, I thought it was Caleb Johnson too……
Lawdy!!!… this is one sexy as hell performance from Adam.
I would think there were mega numbers of people gaga over Gaga in this performance while equally as envious of her with the Man…
Those movesss of his . . . .
I’d say Sydney2 is a definitive benchmark for Adam.
Standing with LG on stage…..
He’s Huge. He fills the place.
Owns his stage while leading in AOBTD. Like a true gentleman.
Not diminished one single iota. In fact ….
He looks more the Star than ever.
So right, smalls – was a bit afraid he would rein himself in too much in deference – but he performed brilliantly – solicitous, but at the same time commanding.

(Do they have 20 cameras at every show – or was this one special? Anyone know? Thanks.)

Hi mils. For whatever reason, I’d accidentally overlooked responding to these in my earlier reply post. Whenever you check in again… Couple of thoughts FWIW:
Some things can be hard to consider, understand & contemplate when not involved in the industry. I think it’s good that you’re going with what the most comfortable is with this. Going with assuming there’s no need to resort to any method is probably the best way to go with these things about Adam, imo.
Happens quite a bit with touring singers. Skilled MD’s and qualified med. professionals are involved. Mid-Show, even. Thousands waiting. Major celebrities watching. It’s nothing special or new.
The higher level of performer… the more contingencies are planned for and the more arrangements are made.
In general, singers and their managers know ahead of time before the show when they are dealing with vocal region concerns. And they, with their management, prepare before a show and arrange the appropriate MD. & medical professionals to be available and on hand for the possibilities of what they may need.
Pretty standard modus operandi.
As for Celine… She hasn’t used her voice more than other concert/recording singers on her level. The very nature of touring and the wear on the cords and muscles causes overuse – no matter who the singer or person is. The cords & muscles can only take a certain amount of use before inflamed responses. Standard concert touring goes beyond that for every touring artist. Cords are no respect of persons.
Vocal rest, (& whispers only if signs of vocal fatigue), hydration, no second or first hand smoke & no alcohol reign supreme. Doesn’t prevent all, but regular part of the overall touring program for a concert singer. Celine is known for being quite diligent in those areas… even to the point of total silence for several days at a time during tours. From what I understand, Dion protects her voice.
When Brian stated, “no assists” he was referring to QAL not using pre-recorded voice overs ‘assistance’, nor stacking for vocals and instruments. QAL is 100% live.
I think it’s likely that’s the ‘no assist’ reference he made in his interviews. Though, I agree with the wisdom we should be cautious about easily misunderstood convo falling into wrong hands, regardless.
Hope your time in vacation mode is starting out smoothly & beautifully!
Hope you’re feeling better, too.
