Yes he did! Roger is a good singer and having adam sing this while being his own kind of magic even better

They are pure magic together. QAL was the best rock show I've seen in 50 years of listening to ROCK music. ❤🎉❤

I felt like that the first time I saw them and it was my first ever rock concert glad I went to.

Magic 🎉❤🎉

[@ronws2007]

Great performance, of course. But I am a little confused. The title says Queen + Adam Lambert. I thought he is now a full member of Queen. Not a replacement of Freddy but the evolution of the band to a new era. For example, Adam does not try to sound like Freddy. He does the songs as they fit his voice.

[@silasaraujo2849]

No, he is not a member of Queen and never will be and he himself has already acknowledged that. Queen is Freddie, Jhon, Brian and Roger. Furthermore, Brian and Roger themselves wanted to keep that.

[@ronws2007]

@@silasaraujo2849Thanks, I did not know that. It makes sense, now.

[@lstapes7]

Adam has also stated that it is important to his solo career to keep his identity of a collaborator-also, though, he, Brian, and Roger use this signifier to show their identity as a touring group.

[@rickardnyberg4899]

Brian May said in an interview that they tour as ”Queen + Adam Lambert” as only Roger Taylor and himself is ”Queen” now… Adam has also said many times that he wants it this way so he can have a solo career at the same time

[@DoloresWeatherspoon]

Sir Brian May, Roger Taylor, John Deacon and Freddie Mercury's Phoenix Trust Fund Team chose Paul Rodgers as frontman from 2004 to 2008 and Adam Lambert from 2011 to present dates. The + signifier was a wise and important decision to insulate QUEEN legacy.

@paxvelocity Whothefuck is Valensia Clarkso? After Freddie Mercury's death in 1991, Sir Brian May, Roger Taylor, John Deacon and Freddie Mercury's Phoenix Trust Fund Team chose Paul Rodgers as frontman from 2004 to 2008 and Adam Lambert from 2011 to present. Paul Rodgers and Adam Lambert are unique and original vocalists with successful solo careers. Their livelihood doesn't depend solely in singing QUEEN's eclectic catalogue of songs. Marc is 1 of thousands of Freddie Mercury mimics worldwide. He even published a series of online videos on how to sing like Freddie Mercury. He was never considered, was never a choice to front QUEEN. They'll never tarnish Freddie Mercury's legacy and memory with a mimic. Pimp insignificant Marc elsewhere.

me rompe los oidos escuchar al adam lambert lo diré siempre es una gritona no sabe cantar dios mio, con lo magnifico que es y tener o a valensia clarkson o marc martel, estos dos si que son y seran voz casi igual a freddie mercury aunque si me das a elegir el mejor es valensia clarkson, solo es escucharle y te pareceria que estas oyendo a freddie.

[@DoloresWeatherspoon]

Actually, li'l marc martel is the screaming wannabe gay singer.

Sir Brian May received over half a million calls, texts and a clip of Adam Lambert's audition for his solo career in 2009's AIS8. Roger Taylor and Phil Spike Edney were blown away with Adam Lambert's rendition of Whole Lot Of Love and they've included the song in their setlists as well as some songs from Adam Lambert's solo career Albums. After the AIS8 finale, Sir Brian May had a private conversation with Adam Lambert, expressed his desire to work with him in the future. Their 1st live on stage performance was in 2011 at the European MTV Music Awards, 2nd was in 2012, three full concerts in Eastern Europe and three in London, 3rd was in September 2013 at the I ❤Music Festival, albeit 19+ minutes became the true inception of their successful worldwide tours because Music Promoters were stepping on each other toes to promote them. These FACTS are highlighted on QUEEN and Adam Lambert's 2019 The Show Must Go On NETFLIX movie.

[@DoloresWeatherspoon]

Adam Lambert already amassed multi million dedicated worldwide fans and was already a multi millionaire before he acquiesced to join QUEEN who patiently waited 2years while he promoted and performed his 1st and 2nd solo career Albums worldwide. His 2nd debuted #1 on BILLBOARD 200 in 2012, the same year he insured his voice for 48million $ which eventually was increased to over 50million $. Adam Lambert has 6 solo career Albums, started working on a ROCK MUSICAL based on a 70's New Yorker in 2020 and a successful playwright is working on a script for live on stage performances and will possibly be turned into a movie as well.

[@DoloresWeatherspoon]

Adam Lambert is a classically trained tenor, 2nd best on Digital Door, an archived list of ROCKERS. Listed greats are unique and original vocalists with incomparable singing style and techniques. BOTH Freddie Mercury and Adam Lambert are listed. Adam Lambert is capable of singing multiple music genres including Opera, hold his notes for 21seconds or more and his range is from the lowest to the highest note of a guitar. Adam Lambert has been singing QUEEN's eclectic catalogue of songs in their original keys live on stage in Arenas and Stadiums since 2011 to present.

[@DoloresWeatherspoon]

Marc Martel failed singing Christian music in Canada, his own manager told him his songwriting doesn't bring the dough and advised him to find other means to earn money and PAY HIS BILLS. Ergo, he forego his originality and became a mimic. Sir Brian May fired Marc almost 9years ago and haven't promoted him. Marc knows what he did, that's why he unfollowed all Queen Websites. Marc is an ingrate. He also failed mimicking Sir Elton John, Rob Halford and George Michael. After attending QUEEN and Adam Lambert's 2014 Madison Square Gardens Concert, he started copying gay Adam Lambert's phrasing. How come Marc doesn't mimic nor copy Paul Rodgers, QUEEN's only straight frontman out of 3?
