Northern Echo It's a kind of magic for Queen fans in Newcastle LIVE: Adam Lambert on stage in Newcastle Picture: KEITH TAYLOR SHOW: Brian May entertains Queen fans in Newcastle Picture: KEITH TAYLOR First published 2 hours ago in News by Andy Walker MUSIC fans may have felt as though they were going slightly mad when rock band Queen took to the stage in the region tonight, sporting a new-look line-up. But US singer-songwriter Adam Lambert's turn in the Freddie Mercury frontman role, alongside surviving original members including Brian May, proved that the show must go on Queen devotees. The band kicked off their UK tour at the Metro Radio Arena, in Newcastle, on Tuesday evening. Indianapolis-born Lambert, 32, has a long history of collaborating with Queen, having performed the group's hit We Are the Champions on American Idol in 2009. A link-up at the MTV European Music Awards followed in 2011, before Lambert performed a series of sold-out shows with the band in London and across Europe. Queen guitarist May has described Lambert as a "great interpreter" of the work of Mercury, who died in November 1991. www.thenorthernecho.co.uk/news/11721503.It_s_a_kind_of_magic_for_Queen_fans_in_Newcastle/?ref=twtrec

Perhaps it's just me, but Adam did not look happy to be doing that. It felt to me like they were putting him in his place. Maybe he was nervous as he said but it is a weird power move that Harry pulled. Jmho! Oh, I am pretty sure that was staged. Producers probably asked Adam to reprise his audition, and asked Harry to request it. If Adam didn't like the idea, he would have said "No," politely, but firmly.

I agree Cassie. There had to be a way to demonstrate to many Idol viewers what they may have forgotten and that is why Adam rules in the first place. Not just his beauty and intelligence which is on display as a judge, but his ability to interpret song. There was really no other way in the context of auditions for him to sing (JLo and Harry will have many opportunities over the course of the season) and what better song than one that ties back to his Idol beginning and Queen present. So I am also pretty sure it was staged as well.
I am so ready for new music though. Summer, sigh.

Marsha vistadiva I say we put Dr Bri & Nile in a room together and let them fight it out. Or, guitars at 50 paces. Susie Fierce SusieFierce The Hit Maker vs. The Red Special. Battle of the dreads vs. Dr. Bri Hair ... Who. Will. Win??? NoAngel @noangelpf SusieFierce They both have legendary guitars and magical hair. They both love Adam. How will this epic battle play out?!?!?!!? Susie Fierce SusieFierce@noangelpf They MAY be the same person!! Maybe Nile assumes the form of Dr. Bri when he can't sleep? Hmmm....

NEWS/ This Video of Adam Lambert's American Idol Judging Debut Will Slay You
(Adam singing audition vid to JLO and Harry here.)
Let the record show: Adam Lambert can still audition for American Idol like nobody's business!
This Thursday marks the season eight winner's debut as a guest judge (filling in for Keith Urban), and we have your first look above.
In the clip, Jennifer Lopez gushes about how thrilled she is to have Adam on board--no disrespect to Keith, obvi. And during the auditions process, Jennifer and Harry Connick Jr. challenge Adam to "audition" once more.
His choice? "Bohemian Rhapsody," which he sang in his 2009 audition (along with "Rock With You"), and the results prove the 32-year-old has still got it. Watch for yourself!
American Idol airs Wednesday and Thursday on Fox.
