Queen + Adam Lambert "Somebody To Love" St.Paul,Mn 7/14/17 HD

Xcel Energy Center

[@paulsimmons5726]

I have great respect for Adam as a singer, he's obviously very talented. But where I really find him as a stand out is having the guts to take on a new audience in every city. 99% of the people at these Queen concerts have grown up listening to Freddie and that's a damn high bar to challenge, even with Brian and Roger playing besides you. My hat's off to you Adam, you're a brave fellow!

[@erikagolcher1353]

Adam you are the best singer on the planet.

[@maryruehl5380]

Let's face it, there will never be another Freddy M. Can you imagine how tough it is to follow up that act? But Adam can sing it! So impressive the way he involved the audience, he knows he isn't Freddy, it isn't his song. But he took the song he obviously loves and made it a special gift to the audience and they gave it to him too. What a talent! This was a joy to watch and hear. I know Freddy would approve. Bravo!

[@drew6755]

mary ruehl you can’t even spell freddies name right

[@clintwood1083]

He made it sound gospel. That’s terrible. That’s not rock.

[@DakotaCelt1]

I agree with your comments. I loved Freddie's work but Adam had done a beautiful job with it. He's a talented artist in his own right. It's nice to see Brian more playful with the audience. Both men have a great rapport with Adam.

[@janetpierce676]

Still love this!!

[@spiritblue9]

Thank god for Adam as we can enjoy Queen for years to com!

[@AiredalesRock]

Adam is a fantastic singer and is perfect for this band at this time. He has a stellar voice and can cover a song like nobody's business. Should have won American Idol hands down.

[@wendycohen9038]

Beautiful. What a fabulous audience!

[@thulekovish8188]

It shows that there are more ways than one to perform an original song. Adam's vocal are just superb, he gets better with age. Thanks for this beautiful video.

[@JoseGarcia-jn5fv]

Thu Lekovish he's at his prime

[@jamesold7774]

Love this kid and what a great way for the band to carry it on! 40 yrs and still a great song no matter who sings it!

[@pankakesnotstellar]

James Old it's a great song but it does matter who sings it, especially with Bri & Roger onstage.... That's why they had so much trouble finding someone right.

[@deliamuir7359]

Went to see Queen +Adam Lambert at th O2 in December 2017 what a night...Adam Lambert doesn't try to imitate FREDDIE in anyway but can really give an outstanding performance..FREDDIE would so approve...Thank you Queen +Adam Lambert for one of the best nights of my LIFE xxxx

[@theofficialcman]

adam does an amazing job. No denying it at all. His voice is amazing, and it has to be in order to sing Queen songs.

[@carolyngara9169]

Adam has such a good voice! Love this group.

[@xajtoons1609]

saw him with Queen live in NY a few days ago was just great love awesome concert!!!!!!!!

[@Phished123]

As someone who us not a big fan of pop music and never got caught up in american idol, i was leery of Adam Lambert being the new frontman for Queen. But I'd be damned if he's not the perfect "freddy" for our time. Of course Freddy Mercury was a god and he cannot ever be replaced. But they found a man who is everything Freddy was, just born in a different year. He talks to the crowd well, has a similar sense of style on stagel, he puts on a great show, and has the pipes to back it all up! not to mention he is a big advocate for gay and transgender rights, something very important in this day and age, and something i think any Queen fan can agree Freddy would be in the current climate.

[@noahwanick7273]

[@beckyhegenbarth4764]

Adam is the best singer ever!!

[@inesmdq4619]

Adam is the best!!!!!!!!!!

[@karlas2629]

This was the concert of a lifetime for me, thank you for sharing!!

[@jayelle1258]

Ugh he's amazing. I saw them in Nashville and it was pretty much the best night of my life. Adam's vocals and performance are incredible and Queen songs transcend all generations. So lucky I got to see their music live. (this video is awesome quality btw thanks a bunch!)

[@michaelsantini9784]

Soooooo talented, this is insanely good

[@aldonapranckevicius9863]

Adam!!! Queen!!! l love you!!! And many many people around the world love you!!! 07.23.17

[@Tra368]

+LOV2ROK2PJ All your Queen +Adam Lambert videos are Fantastic! TYSM for sharing! Hope you enjoyed the show.

[@antonelladellefave3878]

Thank you so much for sharing your wonderful videos! Lucky you ! I am an "old" Queen fan, I have been loving them for more than 40 years and I can't wait to see them in Italy next November....but I won't be able to record so well...so every night I am with you in the States.......FREDDIE FOREVER - WE STILL LOVE YOU !!!

[@fayewade3326]

As Simon Cowell would say perfect vocals! Queen is a perfect fit for him!

[@mihaigheorghiu2211]

Adam is terribly good Best singer ever

[@borednerd2100]

Mihai Gheorghiu You sure got me with the "terrible" there for a second lol😄

[@turg9115]

Bored Nerd Same

[@theofficialcman]

I kinda want to hear a re done version of this song with adam's voice. I know that sounds absolutely terrible but it can be a duet with freds voice and his. It would sound so soulful

[@brianolson2204]

Tears of joy.

[@niman00]

Omg thank you very much!! I Love Brian.

[@cdsh4606]

Your videos are fantastic. It was a night of my life for sure. :) So thankful you got such good songs and moments to share so I can revisit that night!

[@mypositivedisabledlife1781]

GREAT NIGHT, GREAT SHOW, DREAM DATE--AMAZING

I don't remember anything about American Idol except Adam Lambert & Jennifer Hudson and neither won???????!!!!!!!!🌷

[@maryruehl5380]

Yeah! How is that even possible?

[@happyfree9225]

Why did such a god come 2nd

[@alfifatmayani2112]

Adam 👍👍👍 Iam from Indonesia. When you are with queen concer in Indonesia? Iam always waiting for you....

[@CyberBears87]

Does anyone have a better guitar stance than Brian May? I don't think so.

[@nannienita]

I think Adam's done Freddy proud!!

[@silverinofuno]

Adam good !!!

[@ourwayne]

As George might say, "absolutely flawless".

[@annette175]

Adam with fiery red hair. So cute!

[@fedsthegoat444]

[@ashe984]

I saw them once

[@SOC675]

Just imagine if Adam had an English accent, I reckon it would sound almost like Freddie

[@johnshaffer6571]

[@apepmedia3059]

I'm just going to have top wash my ears out with some Freddie ... Adam just does not do it for me.

[@sasha07775]

No problem, he does it for the thousands upon thousands who go to their concerts all over the world.

[@gogcc]

never freddie

[@sasha07775]

Correct, there is only one. This is Adam Lambert doing his thing with Queen and their music.

[@jlambert951]

No shit! If you don't like it, why are you watching every video?

[@kittycomere]

Freddie is dead, been dead a long time. Myself, I'm going to a live awesome concert, and I'm taking 3 generations with me. Thank you Adam for bringing Queen on the road! You can stay home. Fans need the seats.

[@keithbarrett5790]

Adam Lambert is great, but any one who seen Freddie Mercury still no won I the world hit the high notes like Freddie did.

[@huitrecouture]

You're out of your mind. FIRST of all, Freddie was a BARITONE not a tenor like Adam Lambert. Secondly, Freddie destroyed his voice very early in his career. Never on his BEST day did he have the skills of Adam Lambert.

[@annette175]

backwards Adam can hit even higher notes cause he's a tenor and nobody in the world can hit those notes the way he does. Even Freddie could have envied this guy's range

[@abigailserranogarcia6946]

Not good enough, I still believe there are people outside that could do a better job than Adams, lets face it, Adam can sing, yeah he can, but Im going to tell you something,HIS VOICE IS NOT FOR THIS KIND OF MUSIC AND IT ONLY RUIN THE SONG. Anyways, Brian and Roger, ¡perfect as always!

[@sasha07775]

Brian and Roger think they have the perfect frontman in Adam. "One of the great things about Adam is that he's never an imitator. He always finds his own way with the songs and that's what we all want. We want our music to be alive and dangerous and still open to change. Freddie particularly would hate to have thing reproduced the way they were. We take it to a different place, it's exciting. And I don't think we'd be doing it if we didn't think we were actually going into new territory and every time we work with Adam, we do that so I'm very happy." ---Brian May "It's been great with Adam - he's a camp Elvis," says Roger, speaking before he stepped on stage in Sydney, Australia. "He's completely different. The last person we'd want is someone impersonating Freddie. He's someone who is himself."Brian and I never expected to do all of this again, it's been unbelievable. "It's great, except this time we're actually getting good reviews." He has a lot of things in common with Freddie Mercury. He has an incredible sense of humour, which is very important, and he has an incredible vocal range - and those two things really make him perfectly fitted for Queen. It's a delight really for us. Rather unexpected - Brian and I didn't expect to still be working under the name Queen - but this is our fourth or fifth tour [with Adam Lambert] now and we've found ourselves absolutely loving it. "His presence and charisma reminds me of Presley in so many ways, the look, the showmanship, the overtly sexual attitude." Although the 65-year-old musician noted Adam's resemblance to Elvis, he also admitted he thinks the singer is extremely similar to original Queen frontman Freddie Mercury, who died of an AIDS-related illness at the age of 45 in 1991. He continued: "He is absolutely scintillating on stage, a voice in a million, and the same was true of Freddie. There are almost frightening similarities, especially socially, as an overtly gay man full of wit and banter." Although Adam insists he has not "replaced" Freddie in the band - which is why they are billed as "Queen + Adam Lambert" when they tour together - Roger revealed he feels much closer to the late singer when he is performing with the singer-songwriter because of their similarities. He said: "There are some moments backstage when it seems like nothing has changed at all."___Roger Taylor

[@sasha07775]

Brian and Roger think Adam 's voice is more than suited for their music. Seems as though the fans do as well considering these are the kinds of tweets they send after seeing them: Before concert-So, taking my wife to Queen tonight. I'm not particularly excited, don't get me wrong love Queen, just not Adam Lambert. After concert-We will never speak of this again. It was Amazing! Mad respect for Adam now. Dare I say, I'd go again? Shhhh. In Omaha with Queen, ADAM LAMBERT proves there’s no better sub for Freddie Mercury. There aren't words for @adamlambert voice or the show Queen puts on! Had a great time at @QueenWillRock with my family. @adamlambert knows how to perform his heart out. Great time, great music!! "Wow I am just blown away!! This was the best concert!! . . . .Adam Lambert was the bomb!" He gave an outstanding performance! Holy Begeebers! We loved loved loved Adam Lambert as frontman! Queen Rocks! Brian May and Roger - WOW! #Queen #adam-lambert this #may have been the best show I have ever seen. I was blown away - at Gila River Arena Damn @adamlambert you may not be Freddie Mercury, but that was damn close! #queen #crownforthewin #boston had a awesome night at @TMobileArena watching @QueenWillRock + @adamlambert thanks for a awesome show Freddie would be proud R.I.P #freddiemercury would be proud!! #bravo @adamlambert… @adamlambert sir you absolutely blew me away tonight. Awesome! #philly Adam Lambert does an amazing job of paying tribute to Freddie while still being himself on stage. He's incredible and respectful and awesome Having seen Freddie Mercury front #Queen say 10 times, I think he'd say the show must go on; & w/ the hyper-talented @adamlambert If you ever have the chance to see @QueenWillRock with @adamlambert, DO NOT MISS IT. Absolutely crushed it. Adam Lambert sings so effortlessly and tops it off with an insane stage presence, a Performer

[@MusiCizzLife1729]

Says who, YOU? lol. Believe it or not, you are in the minority. Go to a live show and watch all the skeptic Diehard Queen fans become Adam fans. I have. It was unreal, in so many ways. Your loss.

[@skykid9088]

pls tell me who could do it better than Adam, i'll wait.

[@pankakesnotstellar]

Sara Potter nah... He'll probably throw some stupid name... He has no idea what he's saying...

[@youtubingbabs]

Just. No. No. I'm sorry. Sometimes you have to draw a line and be like no. This is karaoke to me.

[@TheaterPup]

K, bye then.

[@tropicano75]

please replace Adam with Martel

[@ClassicRock-gx8hd]

No thanks. We don't want a copycat with zero allure. As a huge Queen fan, I get the nostalgia, but Lambert brings way more to the stage. And Martell falls short.

[@tropicano75]

We? You Mean You. .

[@sasha07775]

How about the "we" being these fans who tweet to them after concerts: (Have lots more if you're interested.) I walked in a huge @QueenWillRock fan, walked out also an @adamlambert fan! @adamlambert What a voice & what a show tonight in Boston! Thank you! Interesting, but to be fair, @adamlambert might be the most perfect & credible choice Queen could have ever made. He IS a Champion. Turned on car radio to hear DJ's still gushing re: St Paul QAL concert-RAVED about vocals & showmanship. Called it the Adam Lambert concert @adamlambert wasn't a fan before tonight. You were awesome. Fan of queen, now a fan of yours. @omahaqueenconcertwithadam Couple at #QAL show saw Queen w Paul Rodgers. I said @adamlambert is perfection. Guy argues. After, he rates show "20 out of 10" Snap!! Hands down, best concert I've ever been to. May & Taylor still have it, @adamlambert is delicious & flamboyant w/ amazing range. #QALOmaha (From Instagram) When I bought my ticket to see @officialqueenmusic I will freely admit I was on the fence about @adamlambert. But no more. He is not Freddie. No one can be Freddie. But damn, the boy has pipes and is a consummate showman through and through. Brian & Roger clearly love him, and he clearly loves them. Thank you for impressing me, kid. The show must go on. I last saw Queen in 1986 at Wembley London, Freddy was awesome back then. I was happily surprised by Adam Lambert... I mean, I am not some idolizing youngster; I am older than Adam Lambert. But... he resonates deeply with me. @adamlambert Dude. Who Wants to Live Forever vocals tonitght... you killed it. Incredible. Freddie would be humbled by your performance. Thx Thank you @QueenWillRock for a fantastic show tonight! Loved @adamlambert 's humility, grace and pure talent! almost didnt go because I didn't know how I felt about @adamlambert After tonight, Adam Lambert has a new fan in me Freddie Mercury was a one of a kind but @adamlambert filled his shoes like no one else could. Amazing performance! #Queen Adam Lambert sings so effortlessly and tops it off with an insane stage presence, a Performer There aren't words for @adamlambert voice or the show Queen puts on! Had a great time at @QueenWillRock with my family. @adamlambert knows how to perform his heart out. Great time, great music!! "Wow I am just blown away!! This was the best concert!! . . . .Adam Lambert was the bomb!"

[@nicks.12]

While there's no doubt that Adam is an exceptional singer, queen made the biggest mistake not accepting Marc Martel as the new lead singer.

[@sasha07775]

They have been touring the world with Adam for over 6 years to sold out concerts. There is no mistake. LOL

[@nicks.12]

@@sasha07775 And I have no doubt that they would have sold out just as much with Marc and would have had a much better singer to replace Freddie. Ummm.....LOL

[@sasha07775]

ROTFLMAO. You can think whatever you like, but none of it is based on facts. Brian and Roger are not replacing Freddie. If they were they would have just retained the name "Queen". This however is "Queen + Adam Lambert". Adam does not pretend to replace Freddie because they all know Freddie is irreplaceable. Marc is just a Freddie wannabe. "There's never going to be another, and I'm not replacing him. That's not what I'm doing. I'm trying to keep the memory alive, and remind people how amazing he was, without imitating him. I'm trying to share with the audience how much he inspired me." "To me @QueenWillRock is Freddie and I am a guest,” ---Adam Lambert

[@nicks.12]

@@sasha07775 Are you really rolling on the floor laughing your ass off or is that just a weird way of making yourself feel like your opinion holds more relavence than mine? I.e. your writing your response saying to yourself "boy I'm really going to stick it to him with this response" then think by prefacing the response with ROTFLMAO in big bold letters that it makes your response much more of a "wow I'm really, really going to stick it to him even more now that I added that!" Just curious because I always wondered why people do that. FYI, didn't work.

[@sasha07775]

joe smith I was, but that was awhile ago. I just have to laugh when people express opinions that are irrelevant considering Brian and Roger have the final word and they have the guy they want. They have said they would not be touring had it not been for Adam and that they will not play with anyone else. Can't argue with that.

[@pabloo8837]

Adam Lambert has a great voice but there are singers that sings way better and sound just like Freddie. And if someone trying to take Freddie's spot at least dress up how Freddie used to on stage. Not like a clown. Just saying. George Michael was way better than Adam when he did Somebody to Love in 1991. Not impressed by Adam singing

[@pankakesnotstellar]

No problem. He impressed the hell out of Brian and Roger. They call Adam Lambert the Gift from god and a voice in a billion. Move on to what you consider "better" singers and Freddie wannabes.... Adam Lambert is strictly for the original taste.

[@gogcc]

a parody of a classic song

[@RobChurch1988]

more of a tribute but to each their own i guess

[@sasha07775]

More like Adam's rendition of a classic.
