Adam Lambert Label, Single and Album News

Last week was a very busy one. Adam started his European tour fronting Queen (with the most amazing, positive reviews I’ve ever seen), he appeared on American Idol as a judge, AND we finally got the news we’d really been waiting for – who his new label was, and even a tentative date for both his next single and his 3rd album.

Adam comes Home to Idol

Yes, I know it was almost a week ago, and I’m not blogging Idol this year, but I figure I should write about this one episode.

Adam is Naked and he’s Far from Home

Nearly a year ago, the remaining members of Queen plus Adam Lambert had a press conference to announce a tour of North America. Brian May made a point then that he would make multiple times in months to come – these concerts would be “live and dangerous.”

It’s become a tradition. The Forbes list is out. And it’s actually somewhat surprising.

Changes to American Idol 2015

The fourteenth season of American Idol starts in about three weeks. We have been promised more seasoned contestants, more involved judges and (best thing from my perspective) fill-in judging from Adam Lambert for the New York auditions, since Keith Urban had to be with his family after his father-in-law died.

We also know that they had a “club” concert with the top 48 to see how they perform in front of an audience. That seems a huge number to me, so perhaps I read it wrong. But those aren’t the truly big changes. That’s the one of the basic tweaks they do every year. There are bigger changes.

Concert Review 2 – Queen + Adam Lambert Izod Center 7/23/14

Yesterday, someone (hi, @JazzRock3!) asked if I was going to do a review of my second Queen + Adam show. I told her I wasn’t sure if I’d see anything new. She said I would. She was right, and here’s the post to prove it.

I’m not an unbiased reporter. I’m not going to pretend to be. I love all these guys, especially the front man, and I’m not going to hide it.
