This post began on Ye Olde Smith-Corona, but Your Blogger has been doing gel manicures of late and her nails are a bit too long for efficient typing.
I’ll get on with it.
I LOVE Adam Lambert.
There, I said it.
So why is Your Blogger embarrassed?
I am way too old for this shit. I’m (theoretically) almost old enough to be his mother. I thought Duran Duran in the 80s got all that fangirl stuff out of my system.
I think “American Idol” is the corniest, most ridiculously over-hyped thing on television. It’s horrifying that more people vote for the contestants on this show than they do in our presidential elections. And I tend to categorically dislike all of the over-produced derivative dreck that comes from their alumni.
But a while back I found out that Lambert has been performing with Queen, a favorite band that I grew up with.
QUEEEEEN!!
I was three when Queen’s first album came out. I’ve always loved that timeless combination of Brian May’s Red Special and Freddie Mercury’s heartfelt vocals about overcoming adversity. Their performance at Live Aid in 1985 is one of the best I’ve ever seen from anyone (and of course I was watching it live on MTV.)
So I had to see this for myself.
I went on YouTube and found a clip of Lambert effortlessly belting out “Killer Queen” while lounging on a fainting couch and looking extremely saucy.
I went full George Takei.
And then I found more: “Radio Gaga,” “Somebody to Love,” “Don’t Stop Me Now,” and of course “Bohemian Rhapsody.”
HOLY FUCKING SHIT.
Yeah, no one will ever replace Freddie Mercury, but I think this is something he would have wanted. Lambert has a phenomenal set of pipes, his outfits are fabulous, and (from what I’ve seen) offstage he’s super-nice to everybody. When I watch his interviews I can’t stop smiling.
Their performance on BBC1 on New Year’s Eve was what finally did it for me:
Adam, you are a fucking nightingale. And BTW, gay men LOVE me.
(Readers, I promise this will not turn into another Glambert blog. There is enough of that out there already.)
