"Lifts up her energy for Queen you? Or are you tired of Seiler & spear? In the middle of the set of his band of Wanda, Wednesday evening at the stadium in Linz, singer Marco his audience had to ask this question. Because the 15,000 visitors of the "Steel City" Festival wanted after previously having been at Seiler & spear in mood, of hits such as "My sisters" or "Bussi baby" can be not really carried away. The band took it with humor. Because for most of the Festival was a Queen concert - with many previous groups.
Right, now it has spread Yes also already widely: singer Adam Lambert is a godsend for the band that wrote music history with the 1991 late singer Freddie Mercury. Of course, mercury cannot replace it, not even tried it. "Thank you, great music from Queen to celebrate me here with you can be", he said at the beginning. And Queen concerts are just that today: unforgettable rock classics are brought back to life. "One vision", "fat bottomed girl", "Killer Queen" and, and, and.
A hit on the other joins for two hours. On my own that would make for an entertaining evening. But Lambert, whom met the Queen at a performance at the talent show "American Idol", is surely the best possible approach to mercury. Else than its predecessor, the earthy, sober Paul Rodgers of the Band Free, Lambert - like once mercury - puts glamour, wit stolzierendem course, Grand gestures and glitter or springs outfits and somewhat tongue in cheek swagger onto the stage. But the most convincing with his voice: he is safe in every pitch, in the heights has been strong and dynamic with the harder rock passages. He makes "who want's to live forever" and "Somebody To Love" highlights.
There's a drum duel by Roger Taylor with his son of Rufus, an acoustic set with guitarist Brian May, alone with the audience (and later also with the Freddie played on the video wall) sings "Love Of My Life". Admittedly, on electric guitar today, not all solos succeed may desire. But he makes up for that with his passion. He shines only because he can play and be instrument onstage. His famous long solo in which he does it through his echo harmonies, was refurbished and no longer follows the classical structure of anno dazumal. But the finale with "Bohemian Rhapsody", "We Will Rock you" and "we are the champions" is then again quite traditional. And at the end of grin and shine 15,000 "Steel City" visitors just as happily as Brian May.

The music of Queen follows in the form
Chronicle of the concert this may 22nd at the Palau Sant Jordi in Barcelona from the legendary band, now with the voice of Adam Lambert to replace Freddie Mercu
Adam Lambert and Brian May, at a concert of the new Queen
The band formed by two members of Queen Brian May and Roger Taylor and singer Adam Lambert (Queen + Adam Lambert) have visited this Sunday, the Palau Sant Jordi in Barcelona in order to offer the second concert of the summer tour to several European countries and which started Friday May 20 in Lisbon, at the Rock in Rio, which was held in the Portuguese capital.
After some touring and concerts with voices such as Elton John or Paul Rodgers, May and Taylor have become in Barcelona, this time with Adam Lambert, singer who knew when participated in the program American Idol in 2009. I have replied that the stalwarts of Queen wondered for years: How can you live a Queen without the soul of the Group Freddie Mercury?
This Sunday at the Sant Jordi, Taylor, May and Lambert showed, watching the reactions of the public, that a concert so you can live like a tribute to Freddie Mercury doing what they know and how they know to do. With the first notes of the soundtrack for Flash Gordon and a song from the same album, The Hero, opened the concert, which would last nearly two hours, while the Club took the Copa del Rey against Sevilla.
Rock that is still in the form
The show continued with some songs more rockeres: Hammer to fall, Seven Seas of Rhye and Stone Cold Crazy, for change of registration at Fat Bottomed Girls and Play The Game, while track viewers jumped and sang with Lambert. A Chair as a throne was the scene where Adam Lambert sing Killer Queen, before arriving in a classic of classics: I want to break free followed by Somebody to love.
Followed by Brian May sang Love of my life with surprise: Freddie Mercury on the giant screens to sing the last verse. Ovation before Roger Taylor sing These are the days of our lives while on the giant screens you could see images of the Queen original, with Mercury and Deacon, and all a lot more young people. The same Taylor after he continued with Drum Battle, a series of demonstrations of battery between him and his son Rufus Tiger Taylor.
It seemed that the songs are not finished, and that the Queen might not finish ever: Under Pressure, Crazy Little Thing Called Love and, again, another classic that everyone knows, don't Stop Me Now. Another One Bites the Dust allowed the showcasing of the bassist who accompanied them, it wasn't John Deacon, removed from the death of Freddie Mercury and with no intention of returning to the stage. I Want It All turned the power on the stage before entering with Who Wants To Live Forever and the solos of Brian May: Last Horizon and the Guitar Solo, I stopped listening to the sound of the Red Special guitar, built by Brian May.
Final stretch with big "hits"
The final stretch of the concert, Tie Your Mother Down encouraged the environment and continued The Show Must Go On and two of the classics that couldn't miss: the first Bohemian Rhapsody, with part of the song as a video clip on the screens and Radio Ga Ga, Sung between Lambert and the public. A rapid retreat to continue with a few encores that they would strike the concert and that at these heights everyone knew what songs had to bear: two major hits We Will Rock You & We Are The Champions. The last standing ovation he was carried away as it sounded, recorded, the Group's version of God Save the Queen.
The concert was left in a general feeling of satisfaction among those who attended were: Adam Lambert is a lot more to the height that those who have tried to occupy the space left by Freddie Mercury and in addition, is aware that it can replace. So, he put the audience in his pocket when he claimed that Freddie could only have one. "Ever". For his part, Brian May and Roger Taylor have away an important part of the role, even though there is still a vacuum left by bassist John Deacon.
A show that is not Queen, but Queen + Adam Lambert. Some stalwarts criticize will continue using the name of Queen, but everyone is aware by now that the occasions to see Queen live were sold out many years ago and that if they want to continue to enjoy their music, the best option they have is the wisdom of May and Taylor to find a singer that can accompany. And it seems that now it has been successful.

Queen + Adam Lambert Pop Rock in Rio Lisboa 2016

Last Friday (May 20) day by day seven years after Adam Lambert for the first time with Queen appeared in the final of American Idol, he stands as the current frontman of the legendary band on the stage of a sold Rock in Rio Lisboa 2016. Queen + Adam Lambert gave it to kick off their Summer Festival Tour. And how!
From the first notes of the "Flash intro is the audience the globe and it is clear that a strong party is used by nearly 75,000 attendees here. 'Fat Bottomed Girls, "" Another One Bites The Dust, "" Do not Stop Me Now, "" I Want To Break Free, "" Crazy Little Thing Called Love, "" Bohemian Rhapsody "," Show Must Go On' ... the one hit follows another and the whole concert is one big singalong.
Adam Lambert has mastered the Queen repertoire and shines in his role as frontman. His vocal range is as legendary as the band itself. Lambert fills the stage and play the audience with ease, but also makes it clear: "There's only one Freddie Mercury" and this is his way of honoring Freddie and bring the songs to life.
Lambert is a stage animal, a showman par excellence that effortlessly switches from tough rockstar, to frivolous glam rock diva and seeming boy next door. Of the five costume changes, the most notable quite a jacket iridescent black and green haneveren. Lambert is clearly disclose Content and wants to know what it finds its audience. The majority agrees with him, but much to the amusement of Lambert shows a fan in the front row nevertheless clearly different to think about.
After 'Somebody To Love' is the turn of Brian May to perform in the foreground. Before taking over the vocals, he trades his guitar as for his latest gadget, a stereoscopic movie selfie stick with which he wants to perpetuate the public. Demand for much light as possible is met with tens of thousands of cell phone lights and you see all the Parque da Bela Vista, which goes on Rock in Rio Lisboa, lit up as far as you can see. A breathtaking sight!
The first goosebumps moment of the evening comes when Brian May "Love Of My Life 'commitment and the audience takes over from him the prompt. When Freddie Mercury appears midway through the song on the big screen center stage and thus take his share of the vocals and a massive singalong directs, this is for many fans a very emotional moment. The song then ends with a deafening applause. As with "Who Wants To Live Forever 'later in the evening, which Lambert gives the most fragile moment of the concert.
Roger Taylor is a first time from behind his drums to join the center stage Brian May on 'Days Of Our Lives. " This is the only time we are active members of the original Queen occupation together to hear the vocals with the large screen images of bygone times Queen. Nostalgia asset!
'Under Pressure' with both Roger Taylor Adam Lambert on vocals is another nod to David Bowie, who co-wrote the song as well as on the big screen.
Roger Taylor and Brian May are also among the best musicians in the world, proving their solos. Father and son, Roger Taylor and Rufus Tiger, let battle during the drum hear a strong piece of drumming and get turn out the best in each other upwards. The guitar solo by Brian May leaves no one untouched. It is quiet during the slow part and then burst into applause as May begins the uptempo riffs.
Lambert still the audience is in for a rapidly meet & greet when "Radio Gaga" and "We Will Rock You" provide a more than impressive sight as all 75,000 attendees in sync to start the characteristic clapping. The nearly two-hour show is a show not to be missed and soon comes our way.
Queen + Adam Lambert you can see them at work on Wednesday, June 15th in Hall 12 in Brussels. Tickets for the unique indoor concert you can here your order and pending can already soak up the atmosphere in our Queen + Adam Lambert album . (Wendy Andries)

Queen + Adam Lambert (Palau Sant Jordi) Barcelona 22/05/16
The controversy with the reformed image of Queen was served from the same day it was announced that Adam Lambert, a former American Idol contestant, would fill the gap left by the late Freddie Mercury and irreplaceable. Last year, Brian May and Roger Taylor had tried to resuscitate the Queen with Paul Rodgers brand, but has been almost neophyte Lambert when they have managed to turn well - oiled machinery again. They showed plenty of his concert in Barcelona was also a spectacular display of lights, scenery, lasers, smoke and golden confetti, redemption. The redemption of Queen and Lambert, always separated in the title, proving that if there is Queen still the remnants of what was classically trained, but this time, spurred with the freshness of a new voice. The image and brutal technological spectacle might have played in his favor, making up what could have been a setback Lambert when trying to reach the level expected as legendary vocalist group. However, the sound quality of live performance was undeniably outstanding.
Brian May and Roger Taylor enough of the spotlight retracted to make way for the theatricality of Adam Lambert, who paced the stage with a kilometric heels to finish sitting on a throne ostentatious "Killer Queen". Lambert, on the opposite side of those who are the alma mater of Queen side, jump around the stage dressed in glitter, leather, glasses or tacks impossible, displaying an enormous self-confidence and a portentous voice. May not seek the spotlight or need. His presence weighs alone on stage, as embodying the essence of Queen solid, which everyone expected to see to feel at home and say "is not Queen, but it seems". Brian does not let his classic guitar Red Special, reeled off one by one the most legendary riffs of the group, leading to ecstasy with single, duping in the acoustic sweet and walking occasionally down the catwalk for shortly thereafter return to your site. Without fanfare, without teatralismos, but offering the most pure hard rock from the initials "Flash", "The Hero", "Hammer to Fall" or "Fat Bottomed Girls".
"Freddie Mercury there is only one!" He quickly said Adam Lambert in an emotional speech before starting "I want to break free". Not a few tribute moments with that delighted the group, including bombings as "Somebody to love", "Another one bites the dust" or held "Bohemian Rhapsody", in which Lambert alternated his voice with recorded Mercury. They were also tributes "These are the days of our lives" (with Roger Taylor microphone against projected the golden years of Queen images), the beautiful acoustic ballad "Love of my life" (after a speech in which Brian May was Sant Jordi thank Freddie and remembered) and "Under pressure" (with an image of the late David Bowie on the screen).
Brian May and his offered that night an emotional and visceral spectacle, with magical moments, emotional, energetic and spectacular. Nor were not lacking the classic "Do not stop me now", "I want it all", "Who wants to live forever", "The show must go on" and anthems "We will rock you" or "We are the champions "to close, topics that Lambert showed great quality and vocal versatility, raising his voice to infinity and sometimes twisting as soul. An explosion of sounds where May and Taylor demonstrated an energy and virtuosity that have not lost over the years (especially Roger Taylor wore in battle against his son Rufus batteries Tiger). So no, Queen + Adam Lambert is not Queen and Adam Lambert is not Freddie Mercury, but the spirit of the group remains the same, and its sound, unbeatable at this point.

Alisan Porter and Adam Lambert 'Talked Every Single Day' Throughout Her Journey on The Voice: 'He's Just So Supportive and Wonderful'

After being crowned the winner of The Voice's tenth season, Alisan Porter has a lot of gratitude for not only her coach, Christina Aguilera, but also her family and friends, including Adam Lambert.
"Oh my God, Adam – I think we talked every single day throughout this process and from beginning to end, with song choices, with outfits – he's so particular," Porter, 34, told reporters after the finale on Tuesday. "He's like, 'Your makeup tonight was perfect except for this.' And I'm like, 'Okay, well Adam said...'"
Because Lambert – who appeared on the eighth season of American Idol – has been through a similar process before, he knew just what to say to keep Porter at ease.

"We bicker a lot because he's like, 'You need to sing a current song!' and I'm like, 'No, I don't,'" she joked. "He's just so supportive and wonderful. He's always, always supported me, always wanted me to continue trying to do this work, so I think just having him as a role model, seeing what he's been able to do and knowing that he wanted the same for me."
The roles were reversed in 2009 when Porter offered her support during Lambert's stint on Idol.
"I was there when he was doing Idol ... picking songs, sitting at the cafés, what should you sing. It was so crazy to have him be able to do the same thing for me," the singer said.
"He's touring the world himself and fronting Queen, so for him to be taking time to call me and see how I'm doing and 'How's your spirit? How's your body? How's your soul?' Those are the things that true friends really care about through all of this because you really can get trampled if you’re not prepared for what this work was."

Porter, who expressed her excitement on the fact that she is no longer looked at as the former Curly Sue actress, is also looking forward to a bright future.
"The ride doesn't end here," she previously told PEOPLE. 'I'm going to keep going and making as much music as humanly possible."
