A Decade of Queen + Adam Lambert - Part 1 (Episode 49)
/ queenofficial

[@castlebell3275]

Queen with Freddie were truly the best of the best musically, lyrically & performance. What Adam had given to the party is a new dimension of queen no one was expecting. His performances are astounding and a fitting tribute to it's creative founder. No one could have predicted this young man would put Queen not only back on the world map but in the hearts of new & old audiences alike. Totally delightful & indulgent...just as Freddie would have wanted it.

[@colettesfavoritethings3750]

I WAS there at Summer Sonic in Tokyo 2014! It was on fire and the moment I fell for Q+AL, they're magnificent! And the Wight Island 2016, especially Who Wants To Live Forever is incredible!!! But they're always incredible! 　 I've seen Q+AL live 6 times in Tokyo, and I saw Queen live with Freddie and John 12 times in Tokyo! Adam Lambert is a gift from god, Q+AL are a miracle! Thank you Queen and Q+AL, アリガトウ！

[@Astfgl]

Anyone who is still blasting Adam for not being more like Freddie don't understand what Brian and Roger need, what Queen needs. They don't need a Freddie imitator. They need someone with real stage presence who can breathe new life into these songs while channeling the spirit of Freddie. Adam is that person. He's done a terrific job over this past decade to help Brian and Roger keep Queen's legacy alive.

[@valeriedalby3538]

Well said!

@DL Um, no. Adam is a Broadway level singer.

Technically it was Paul Rodgers who brought them back to touring but that was only supposed to be a temporary thing to begin with

@@trentoninnewjersey Paul Rodgers is great for rock and folk, but he didn’t even sing Who Wants to Live Forever and other songs they couldn’t do with him. They had to lower the key of other songs so he could sing them. So while he was an OK stand in, they are home with Adam, who can do it all and has the persona to fit the Queen aesthetic.

[@andreasmith6528]

@@carolhagerty4288 Off the top of my head, I can name 15 different genres that a Queen song represents. From metal to rockabilly to madrigal to folk to disco and on and on. And Adam can do all of it too. Paul just didn't have that versatility. He's great for Bad Company, but not for Queen.

Brian May and Roger Taylor must have a deal with the Gods. To have been fortunate enough to have a singer like Freddie Mercury even once in a lifetime is 1 in a trillion. To find ADAM LAMBERT is like lightening striking in the same place twice. While making the songs his own, he is still able to pay respect to what Queen was, is and will continue to be.

[@karenrawling7737]

He is nothing like Freddie

[@sylviabroese6965]

I am a big Queen fan since their early years, and I adore Freddie's performances. But if you listen to what Adam said, he never wanted to be a replacement or copy of Fred. He just has an extraordinary voice and goes on stage and performs the songs of Queen in his own way...

[@TerraUmbraVampWriter]

I love and appreciate that Queen is able to adapt and change at this stage in their career. New takes on their own music, and take advantage of such a vocalist and performer. I’m a huge Adam Lambert fan, and I have been learning and loving Queen’s music because he’s involved and growing to appreciate the legacy and majesty of this band and it’s history. People ask what artist I’d want back and I say Freddie because he had so much more to do and say. I think he’d be proud of these tours.

[@Sharon-sj1hx]

He’s the perfect frontman and he loves Brian and Roger. I love how respectful he his to all the band members past and present

[@Harvey.M_Theater]

Such an inspiration!!! 😜🤩🥰👍

[@blondiebluetx64]

I do love the collaboration Brian and Roger have with Adam and visa versa. It works beautifully and I believe Freddie brought them together so the legend of Queen and their music could live on. They were magical in Dallas on the Rhapsody Tour in 2019 and I’m looking forward to the 2 London shows I’m attending this coming June. I felt Freddie’s spirit in Dallas and I know I’ll feel him stronger in London and I can’t wait! Looking forward with joy and sorrow for the final installment of this wonderful 50 week journey from Queen’s humble beginnings to what they’ve continued to be 50 years on, I hate to see it come to a conclusion, but all good things must eventually end. Thank you for taking us on this fabulous journey! Now, on with the show!

[@andreasmith6528]

Of all the people alive on this planet, I don’t think there is anyone nearly as perfect for Queen as Adam. I’ve been a Queen fan since 1975 and I adore Freddie, but I also adore Brian and Roger and I’m so glad to see them just thrilled to be able to perform at this level in their 70s. I wish Queen could have a Return of the Mothership concert if John would be willing to come out of retirement for it. Wouldn’t that be amazing???
