Adam Lambert’s charismatic and energetic manner of performing originates from his work in theater and experience on American Idol ... Since his Idol run, Lambert has toured throughout the world and released two albums. His flourishing career may receive a huge boost, as he’s been rumored as a possible judge when American Idol returns for its eleventh season in January 2013. The last time we spoke to the pop star, he talked about what he learned from his Idol journey. (Click on the media bar below to hear Adam Lambert)

Excellent show. Adam has appeared to get over his hiccups and has settled in quite nicely. An occasional run or two much for me still to be honest but I'm not going to be nitpicky. A fun fun show  Hoping for more surprises. I wonder if they were saving his voice for the next few days by cutting The Show Must Go On and letting Brian do it. I remember you noted in your comments about the Kiev show that Adam was very good but not a home run. The most problematic song was TSMGO as he was uncharacteristically under pitch maybe due to sound issues. I noticed it also in Poland though not as obvious. I also thought he sounded a bit strained. Have to go back and listen to Moscow but it didn't strike me the same way. He was of course still great and he is quick to fix and compensate but I think with another show tomorrow night, if it was an intentional move to rest him, it was a good call. I really liked it in that intimate moment of Roger and the fans and if it has special meaning for them, it was the right thing to do. Oh absolutely, I mean it's a DIFFICULT song to sing. No doubt so a rest might be good. And yes it is VERY special to Queen fans. I might have said this elsewhere (and it's mentioned in the bio in the Queen thread) but Brian told the story and I'll paraphrase: 'I heard this little run by Rog and John and I started writing lyrics with Freddie. We never talked about it but we both knew. I even asked him if he would be okay singing some of these lyrics. He looked up, smiled and said, "I will give it my all, dear". And then later Freddie was very sickly and could barely stand at times. So he'd give it a try and it wasn't good enough for him, so he propped himself up on the mixing desk as he was too tired to really stand, downed a few vodkas, and really let it rip and it was quite possibly the best vocal he'd put down on a Queen track" So yeah, it definitely has a lot of meaning to Queen fans and to Brian especially. |

But mincing and Old Queens are definitely not gay friendly comments, especially when used together. :( They aren't and I don't want to belittle it but not knowing him it's hard to know what he meant. There were plenty of times that Freddie would say something like "we're not bad are we for 4 aging queens..." He would call them queens all the time. And as for mincing he might have simply meant that an American reality star was mincing with the old queens instead of Freddie mincing. He might have been referencing previous Queen gigs he'd been too. I don't KNOW that for sure, but it is possible.. Maybe he just couldn't resist, because demeaning gay people is just oh so fucking funny. Those kinds of remarks belong in a museum next to the Amos n' Andy reruns. >:( |

Adam WON that crowd. The crowd of Queen fans more less! And his signature was written all over that show. They gave him standing ovations on songs that showed off HIS greatness. He shared the stage with the best of the best and made a huge impression. The song "we are the champions" has never been my favorite but the words are so perfect for Adam. Regardless of what some idiots my write/say about him or whether he hits stardom on American radio, he is and will always be a champion! Bravo. I'm so glad so many folks from Atop and twitter were able to be there. And I'm happy for the folks who aren't there, but who support and love Adam, and get to feel the satisfaction of having his greatness recognized. |
