Queen+ Adam Lambert Pt 2

Quick thought: Since Adam has said "he's filling in for this god", wouldn't that make him a rock god himself? Anyone good enough to be the FRONT MAN OF QUEEN has to have something special! And honestly, his live skills-one word: Supernatural. Sure, he grew up singing. But

And think about this analogy: Let's say a real, human God died. But then someone took his place as the next God. I think probably that being would get the same respect as the original God. So, there you have it. Adam Lambert is definitely the rock god of my generation. All the other rock gods are getting old and irrelevant to most of us young people. But since Adam is young and kicking, and he can sing that well, live-that is a 21st century rock god right there. And he's more than "just the guy who sings the Queen songs now." Think abour what it takes to be able to sing in that band! He is no mediocre vocalist or autotuned pop singer. Okay, and he helped revive Queen back to top-tier performance. And his "Crazy Little Thing Called Love" really does sound like Elvis sometimes. Brian May even called him "camp Elvis." So, yeah. As Paula Abdul said : He's not a rock star, he's a rock god.

Queen + Adam Lambert...My thoughts

Being a 200's-2010's child, I only knew Adam Lambert as the guy who sang "Whattaya Want From Me." Sometimes the intro to that song would pop into my head and I would use my memory to remember what that song was. I just kept thinking "WHAT is that song?!" I distantly recognized the 2009 pop hit. But finally I looked up Adam Lambert, and suffice it to say I am duly impressed. Even if the Queen fandom is split down the middle, I am impressed. He is the only other man to sing in Queen. He's not Freddie Mercury, but he never tried to be. Even from his American Idol days, it's evident that Adam has a big, theatrical, rock-Broadway-ish style and stage presence. In the Netflix doc (which I've watched 3 times now, lol!) They talk about how he's not Freddie, but Mercury himself wouldn't want a cheap impersonator. As Roger Taylor said in the doc, "good luck on the cruise ship," with regards to those who think an imitation would...

Dumpster-Fire Disney

May the 4th be with you. So, in my last post I talked at length about Star Wars, the seminal saga of the 20th century (we love alliteration!) It was amazing. Still amazing, and when I watched the original 3 movies, all I could think about was "Why don't we have hoverboards and lightsabers?!" Seriously, Back To The Future thought we'd have hoverboards in 2001. So where are the hoverboards? Get it together, Silicon Valley! We don't need electric cars. We need hoverboards. But all jokes aside, I'm gonna talk about the Disney sequels, cause boy, are they bad. They are not good at all. Yes, box-office good, but with audiences and fans, it went over like an atomic bomb. Yeah, that Palpatine thing was clearly the only thing the writers could think of. But why did Rey have to be related to Palpatine? There were so many other Jedi like Windu, Qui-Gon, Obi-Wan- that could have been an epic story. One that people actually liked. I was inspired by the lameness of the ...

The Marvel Cinematic Universe and Harry Potter are the Defining Stories of the 21st Century So Far

How lucky are we? I got to be alive at the same time as Avengers Endgame and Harry Potter. I was reading some articles on why Endgame is the best movie of all time, and honestly, it made me realize how lucky I am to have been old enough to live through the release of Endgame. Endgame and the MCU is to my generation what Star Wars was to my parents' generation. I particularly admire what the MCU did with those movies because it is a feat of writing and storytelling. It's "a once in a lifetime accomplishment". You can watch all 23 as stand-alone films, because they work that way, or you can do a marathon and see the interconnectivity of it all as well. It works that way too. And I've done both. I have to say, I think I prefer watching them stand-alone, irregardless of the little nitty gritty easter eggs from other movies. Granted, Endgame basically asks the audience to watch 2012 Avengers, Thor:The Dark World, Age of Ultron and Guardians Of The Galaxy, but it...
