I already tweeted to Brian. Asked that they not put her on it. Didn’t say I wouldn’t buy it but should have.
Ginger……that is my main gripe with it all too…..the US press have said nothing about the tour since the first week it was announced (apart from the reviews in the press from each city), but no doubt they will be all over Gaga playing with them….probably with no or very little mention of Adam.
I hope she’s not on the video either, unless its as a bonus track…I still want a performance of each song they’ve sung rather then a concert video from 1 show.
Riskylady , although I like GaGa’s voice I would never have wanted her to duet on AOBTD. It is Adam’s favorite and I wonder how they came up with that. I don’t think it will do one thing to help him. Just my opinion. Hope I am wrong.

yay…a tweet without a Gaga mention
RT @scottjonathon35: @QueenWillRock and @adamlambert just literally blew my mind, one of the best shows I’ve ever seen
sorry…sarcasm….but they have been few and far between so far.

That Lady Gaga / Adam Lambert duet is a bit of a mess, obvs unrehearsed, but so much fun. I want a new collab from them; Fever was great!!

great tweets

Thanks, luval. I am certain you will not be one of few…
Says “this page doesn’t exist”, HK fan. Alexander Morner tweets.
With you 100%!! Why Adam’s fav… one of the most quintessential Queen songs of all time? Adam rescued the song, some… But held back to give Gaga a chance to shine.
Really though… AOBTD isn’t meant to be duet and wasn’t written in a way to accommodate that at all. It would have sounded odd with any two people, no matter who. Awkward choice.

Did anyone else notice that in every picture Dr.B is hugging up LGG like crazy. He must have the hots for her! lol
We have to remember that the show was SOLD OUT before LGG ever showed up!
I thought the I Heart radio thing was the bigger insult to Adam, having the “other guy” sing on of the best songs.
One more thing, then I am out the door: We have to pray for NO FAN WAR because no matter how loyal we are, her 30 million followers would crush BB 3 million.
WWTLF note but it’s slightly different than Iheart.

Small repeat. Queen records (videos) EVERY show, using
multiple cameras. Assumptions.
@HKfan, so funny, those Alexander Morner tweets… thanks !
I am not (yet???) an Adam Lambert purist… No idea what Queen song Lady Gaga could have sung… Queen songs are so difficult to sing… with such a wide range. Just by process of elimination, AOBTD is one of the only choices.. but if I , with my limited vocal capacity” ever would sing a Queen song with Adam Lambert on stage , it would be “Crazy little thing called love”… easiest to sing for me… and usually according to some of the reviews, one of Adam’s weakest interpretations… So it will not be too bad if I ruin the song with my bad singing…
Good to hear that Sir and Lady Gaga are having fun on stage… hope it really happens one day on an award show… .

Thank you Jenny! I agree with you 100%.
Ten minutes of Gaga in a 2 hour show is livable; it’s not the end of the world! Adam admittedly adores her and looked as though he enjoyed himself. I think its short-sighted for us fans to throw negativity on it. Yes, the press will likely have a field day over “Gaga plays with Queen” and leave Adam as a side-note, but any press is good press. I’ll follow Adam’s lead, and be happy and grateful for this latest tremendous experience on-stage.
Here’s the duet…

Nice pic with fan? Hair is high and maybe new highlights?

I don’t think about fan wars. We can have an opinion, post it and no problem if anyone agrees or disagrees. Just about any blog on earth can be read by anyone. Look at CNN or any news organization’s comment sections. Shocked at what people put there but still, a person’s opinion is what it’s all about. Not “we”…”I” am a die hard fan but I don’t represent anyone except myself. I will continue to post what I want as long as I follow the rules of the site.
I agree that what we post here on an Adam site is fine, I would not go to a Gaga site and post negativity about her. Just like I posted how truly awful the Fun guy was at Iheart. I posted it here, not on his fan sites.
I really don’t even know how she did, didn’t listen to them.
Reese. No slicing and dicing, everyone is entitled to their opinion and all matter. And I read everyone’s posts here, whether I know them or not.

I am jealous of her

@AL…to borrow some of the words of a tweet previously posted here… that duet was some hot fun mess. Hope someone can get a picture of Adam on his knees near Lady Gaga….
@luval.. uugh I want that kiss too…
World is talking ?

There are so many articles out about Queen and GaGa on twitter I can’t keep up!
Well, boys are happy – LG’s happy – happy they’re happy – also happy I didn’t pay to go to that show – would have been annoyed out of my mind.
And did hear something slightly “off”? “different”? in his voice on certain notes – just conservation perhaps – but definitely there for me.
Has LG ever said anything remotely nice about him?
Waiting for that Perth review, luval!
Alexander Morner @AlexanderMorner • 1h
BASICALLY I THINK WE ALL DIDN’T GIVE A SHIT ABOUT GAGA BUT WE PRETENDED TO FOR ADAM’S SAKE LMAO
Alexander Morner @AlexanderMorner • 2h
LETS JUST SAY AFTER THE CONCERT THERE WAS NO ONE TALKING ABOUT GAGA. 100% OF CROWD = OMG ADAM!?!?!?
The pic with Adam in his knees was in twitter. Trying to find it but work gets in the way!
Friendly reminder that all opinions are welcome here – regarding Adam and music-related only though. Positive, negative and anything in between.
We may not always agree but that makes for interesting conversation.

Adam retweeted these LG IGs.
Maybe that’s where I saw it, ultimathule, not twitter.

lol, makes me realize just how awesome Adam really is having only one rehearsal before slaying it with Queen at the EMAs that night!
Hahaha, luval – LOVE that Perth review – says it all.
