I agree that he used a prominent vibrato. I hear it as a stylistic thing. He did it on Soaked in GNT as well. I think it evokes drama in high order. OTT. One can't do Freddy without super drama vocally and visually. The vibrato adds a type of sophistication, class, and a classical touch to my ears. Instead of the hard rock piercing wails. Freddy enjoyed adding classical references in his compositions. Lots of sophistication, musically. He also sometimes used a lot of vibrato. What is amazing about the performance (well, what isn't?) is how powerful Adam sounded, how fierce, how commanding, and yet, there was not a smidge of strain or stress in his voice. A very classical, legitimate sounding powerhouse, that somehow totally fit with Queen's classic rock. How can people who write musical reviews for newspapers be so ignorant?; www.telegraph.co.uk/culture/music/music-news/8871749/MTV-EMAs-2011-live.html#disqus_thread23:03 One can only hope Brian May has been thinking too much about the hedgehogs to make clear decisions about who he should share stages with. Adam Lambert's self-indulgent warbling over Brian's badass guitar was horrendous.  Oh great, one bad review out of 50 and of course, it has to be from the UK! What the hell?!! Can our UK members maybe go kick the crap out of this guy tomorrow? Please? ;D |

Hi cassie - to my ears it sounded like Adam used more vibrato than usual in this performance. I'm curious if you agree and if so, why do you think he chose to do that? I agree that he used a prominent vibrato. I hear it as a stylistic thing. He did it on Soaked in GNT as well. I think it evokes drama in high order. OTT. One can't do Freddy without super drama vocally and visually. The vibrato adds a type of sophistication, class, and a classical touch to my ears. Instead of the hard rock piercing wails.

A very classical, legitimate sounding powerhouse, that somehow totally fit with Queen's classic rock. I'm glad you didn't think there was any stress. To me it did seem like he was pushing it (maybe more in watching it than in just listening) and not something he'd want to do every day. Reminded me a bit of Time for Miracles where the producer pushed him more than he wanted. Here at least he could back off and put it where he wanted and of course for a measly three songs (ha) he could take it all the way to the end wailing as much as he wanted to. |

"perry Friday"? adamlambert Adam Lambert @katyperry congrats again on your awards. I be native for perry Friday. How. This tweet cracked me up because I could not figure out what the heck he was saying! Hmmm. Friday is 11/11/11. What is Katy Perry doing that day-- anyone know? And my (probably lame) interpretation of that tweet -- "native" as in Native American? And "how" is a stereotype of a Native American greeting. I don't know, but I'm sure it all made sense in his head  ;D ETA: I see that Katy is premiering her new vid for The One That Got Away on Ellen that day. Okay, back to knowing nothing :D |

OMG! Taking a break from berting at the moment and am watching Majors and Minors. And they previewed Adam's episode. It was a little different then the promo that was posted earlier. He was there telling them to own it and said that they sound fierce. And they announced that, this is "the mentor we were all been waiting for is almost here." Yay! more berting and flailing \0/!! W Whoa, how did you see it. I thought it was premiering on the 13th. How did you see it? Was it on tonight? Where can I see it? Crap, I'm always a day late and a dollar short. Crap Crap Crap!!!!!! No, it was just the promo for next week. Was saying they showed more in this promo then the one they posted earlier. |

When Adam sings full out I always get this picture of a kid riding a bicycle down a hill with no hands that feeling of thrill and faster faster wheeeeeeeeeeee look at what I can do. So much fun to watch. |

this has been an epic day of flail!!
Every thing about that performance/appearance was on point.
the one negative review from the UK is no big deal. The UK is notoriously nasty from what I remember, especially regarding american idols.
everyone else loved him! He did what we knew he could do, he wowed the world!
I do think the single is coming next week. Probably friday.....

Adam Lambert, Queen Perform At MTV European Music Awards (VIDEO)www.huffingtonpost.com/2011/11/06/adam-lambert-queen-performance-mtv-emas-_n_1079050.html?ref=twThe crowd at Belfast's Odyssey Arena roared as Lambert, dressed head to toe in black leather, crooned a medley of the band's best-known hits, including "Show Must Go On," "We Will Rock You," and "We Are the Champions." Earlier in the evening, Queen was honored with the Global Icon Award. It was a fitting match for Lambert, whose theatrical performance style has frequently been compared to Queen's late frontman, Freddie Mercury, who died of AIDS complications in 1991. He isn't the first modern pop star to team up with Queen; Lady Gaga enlisted the band's lead guitarist Bryan May for her MTV Video Music Awards performance in September

Adam's performance with Queen has already been added to the Wikipedia entry for The Show Must Go On. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Show_Must_Go_On_(Queen_song)Live recordings-At the 2011 MTV Europe Music Awards, Queen closed the awards ceremony, with Adam Lambert on vocals, performing "The Show Must Go On", "We Will Rock You" and "We Are The Champions".[11] Wow! I didn't know the story behind "The Show Must Go On" until I read the wiki page.  Freddie was near death when he recorded this song and was never able to sing it live because he died 6 weeks after he was miraculously able to record it. Adam captured the emotion that was behind this song in his performance. Just stunning! |

Almost 500 posts about this in the Adam thread at MJ's. 99% are gushing and postive, but as an example of how far people will reach someimes, someone said Adam is not theatrical enough to sing these songs!! LOL!  hahaha...this person (marchle ) is consistently hearing challenged and is actually pretty funny (mods delete if I am overstepping):" Adam's vocals faltered in several places. He's also not very good at the rapid fire phrasing in "We Will Rock You". Karaoke-ish, once again.
He didn't manage to capture the meaning and emotions behind Freddie Mercury's incredibly written lyrics, and as it is, the performance felt empty and lacked power.
Love knowing that he had fun, though. ... I actually feel sorry for this poor soul... haha.. Nica.. what she said's meaningless, coz there's one die hard Queen's fan that admitted Adam's vocal ability |
