Thank you so much for watching! ❤️ Check out my first Adam Lambert reaction to his Cher tribute performance of Believe here: ua-cam.com/video/Z9Untpa_jlM/v-deo.html
@@jackwhitbread4583I agree, I find Freddie’s performances entertaining but Adam entertains but his voice pulls at your heart and soul and leaves a warm sense of joy … no words can explain it if you don’t feel it. His music got me through some very lonely times during COVID isolation.
This is certainly true but it is people like Freddie who have made it possible for performers like Adam and Adam will be the first to admit that Freddie paved the way for him and others. Freddie was far more than a singer and Frontman, Freddie was a force of nature and nobody could get in the way of his dreams. I love both Freddie and Adam and also performers like Bowie and Prince who made "different" the new normal in rock.
I love the way you describe and appreciate Adam’s voice, training, and talent. And the way you reacted emotionally to this very emotional performance. You can hear the pain and cry in his voice. Thank you so much for this!
There are no words to describe how talented, beautiful and unique ADAM is.Phenomenal artist, the best what we've got in the music industry last years!And the most underrated, unfortunately.Whishing , the last one gets changed soon He is deserves the best!
Yes, Adam is classically trained. He took voice lessons thruout his teen years and even had a year of opera training. He still works with a vocal coach to this day. Such training has not only allowed him to sing different styles and genres, with different tones or sounds, it also has given him great breath control. Also, importantly, his training and experience in musical theater has taught him how to take care of his voice and sing for two hours on multiple nights without causing strain or damage.
Cool to see this being reacted to. No words describe how spectacular the entire live show was. Every song was this good. Random fact: I’m the girl in the mermaid wig you see at the end with one of my beautiful bffs who was shining in gold. It was worth standing at the stage for 6 and a half hours before they started, to be front row. We cried like babies during that performance. I’m gay, it hit home. It was the most amazing tribute.
I have been a massive Queen fan for 40 years. I looooved Freddie, his death hit me hard. I thought nobody could ever front Queen again, then Adam appeared, to me he is a gift from God, I feel blessed that he exists. I adored Freddie and I adore Adam 💖💖
Thanks for your great reaction . I’ve heard this version many times and it never fails to bring tears to my eyes .Goosebumps every time !! What an amazing talent Adam is❤️
Brian said that they never had heard it like that - - just watch Rogers face - - and Brian - who wrote this masterpiece - said that it was surreal to listen to Adam just ascending into the stratosphere . Listening to yours are the best reaction to Adam that I have heard from a professional .A fellow Scandinavian - from Denmark-
Gorgeous performance. I can't believe that so many people still refuse to listen to Queen without Freddie and act like the band needed to die because Freddie did. It would be a shame for new generations of people not to be able to hear these songs and see the total production that is a Queen live show. Freddie never would have wanted for his music to stop and I truly believe he would love Adam, perhaps he sent him to us. I was lucky enough to see Queen live when Freddie was still with us all and I will cherish that memory for the rest of my days but I am also so glad that Adam is able and very happy to perform with Brian and Roger and honor Freddie's memory. Thank you for your reaction.
Totally agree. Adam has himself said multiple times he's not trying to replace Freddie, he's just doing his best to honor him in his own way. In the Netflix doxumentary The Show Must Go On: The Queen + Adam Lambert Story (I wholeheartedly recommend to watch it) Roger and Brian gush over Adam's talent just like the rest of us. And imho their total endorsement and appreciation should be enough for anyone to accept that Adam is the perfect frontman for Queen now that we don't have Freddie anymore.
I actually believe if Freddie was alive I don’t think he be as popular as he is now. Brian and roger did a great job keeping his legacy a live but if he was here he be almost 80 and his performances today would not be even close to those in the 1980s. Plus I don’t think he would have continued with the band. He was going in his own direction. It’s because of Adam, Queen is a big arena touring band, keeping the legacy Of Queen and Freddie music alive.
@@CJ-oi7zm I agree to an extent but had Freddie lived longer, he would have needed to have throat surgery which might have made a difference in the longevity of his singing ability. Freddie had tried the "go my own way" thing which was not received to the point he had hoped until after his death, and admitted that he had been an ass, coming to the realization that he had always known, which was that with Queen, the total was greater than the sum of the parts. Honestly, I could see Roger or Brian being the ones to break up the band because they were the ones who were always fighting and always threatening to quit. Also, at that point, Queen were all working separately, not really working as a unit as they once had. You are right about Brian and Roger doing all in their power to keep Freddie's legacy going, they have been really involved in that from the time Freddie passed and Brian never really got comfortable with losing Freddie and then the slam of losing his dad only amplified that for him. Brian and Roger were both fine with going off into their own music careers and pursuing other things and interests in their lives, but Queen wouldn't go Quietly and their little fun tour with Paul Rogers, doing Queen and Bad Company stuff on the road only solidified the idea that Queen was more than a band, it was a legacy that people still wanted to be a part of. Adam has been a huge boost for Queen because he has the ability to do all the music and do it in the key it was written. Also, Queen shows are now like huge Broadway extravagant performances becoming more and more elaborate with every tour. Adam melds perfectly into Brian and Roger's concept of what a Broadway performance of what a Queen show should look like and they all have been having a great time pressing those edges of the envelope. Adam's theatrical background, campy style and incredible makeup only enhances the whole thing.
I have seen him sing this in person. Unreal, stunning. He has a once in a generation voice. He has had classical training. Check out him singing Nussum Doma in Italy during Queen concert.
This is one of the songs I am looking forward to hearing him sing live when I see them live in November and know tears will flow. Adam does have classical training and showed it last summer when QAL performed in Italy last summer and he surprised the audience by singing Nessun Dorma.
Well, I don't know how to put a pink heart here, but I always watch your reactions to Adam to the end. I love that you fangirl, and give us information about the technical reasons he is so good. I'm 74 and grew up in rock n roll and other kinds of music, and he is the best male singer I've ever heard.
@@HegeOfficial I saw Queen + AL in Vancouver, BC, the first concert on their last US tour right before Covid lockdown. Serendipitously found a ticket on the day of the concert. It was spectacular! I do hope you get to see him live.
Adam Lambert is my absolute favorite vocalist. I don’t know enough about singing to explain why but he is. Thank you for your heartfelt reaction. It made me cry❤️
Adam totally killed this performance! He's just too incredible! Such a great singer! I remember that tragic mass shooting when that happened. Such a sad time. You should check out Adam's recent performance on American Idol this week on his new single. He was helping the contestants and sharing his advice. 💕💕💕
Loved your analysis and emotional reaction. Adam poured his heart into this performance. It’s as if he was singing to those poor souls who lost their lives the night before. He never ceases to amaze me. Bravo!
OH MY LORD !!! This is definitely my TOP 3 most favorite Queen song I never get bored to this masterpiece What a great reaction This was ver emotional 💛💛💙💙💙
Adam does a great job with this and I'm sure Freddie was smiling down on him. This is a powerful song, written by Brian in 1986. Seeing Freddie do this in that same time frame, knowing now how long he had left, with the crowd singing along it gave me chills.
@@HegeOfficial you want another moving Brian May song? I highly recommend checking out "Save Me" from Rocks Montreal 1981. I saw them on that tour in Madison Square Garden in September 1980. It was a new song off the Game album.
Adam does it in his own way, Queen didn't want an imitation of what once was.. For someone like me who was a child when Freddie died, I'd never have got to see them live with Freddie. Brian and Roger wont be able to do this forever, so we should be glad to be able to take the opportunity to enjoy this music live while we still can, and if you get the chance to see them just go and experience it.
That's it! They're great vocalists both of them in their own right. That's something to appreciate, not something to have fan wars over. We can't change it. Queen has been blessed with two stellar voices, and I love that they kept going
Adam is amazing and my all time favourite vocalist, I don't think no one can compare. It's always enjoyable to hear him sing, like I don't have to worry about him singing off key or straining his voice live, I can just relax and have a good time.
I went to two shows on this tour and this song was my favorite both times. It was so amazing. Adam’s voice just slices through you. On a side note, I met him before he joined Queen and he was very nice and has the most intense eye contact when he talks to you like he truly cares about what you are saying. 🩷
Oh, Hege, THANK you for this video! You know Adam Lambert is my absolute favorite male singer and this performance is magnificent! What a tribute to the Pulse nightclub victims (and to all victims of violence or prejudices, for that matter). I love how his voice just soars as his notes go higher and higher. You made me smile with your discussion of the word distortion choices that I’ve asked about before (forever vs. forevaaa) because now I understand and appreciate the reason behind that. As you know, I used to think it sounded stilted or pretentious when singers would turn those “rr” sounds into “aah” sounds 🙄 It would have been kinda hilarious if anyone had seen me reacting to YOUR reactions and analysis here because I was so constantly in agreement that I’m sure I looked like a little bobble head doll 😂 I love how effortlessly Adam can transition his voice from powerful belting to whispery-soft light breathy vocals. And can we just take a moment to appreciate his tremendous range? Sheesh❣️He has complete command of the stage and of his voice…and of our hearts 💕💕BRAVO on this one❣️🙂🌈👸 Sorry this comment is so long but you know how much I love me some Adam! A new favorite performance❣️🩷
Thank YOU so much 🥰❤️ You know I like your taste, and Adam is absolutely phenomenal! What a vocalist 🙌. And singing THIS song after Pulse?? Oooof, he must have felt it but you (at least I) can't tell in his voice. And it's much thanks to you that I talked about that pronunciation ☺️. I feel very country when i sing foreverrrrrrrr hahahha. And lol I'd love to see the bobble head video 😂. Thank you again ❤❤
Адам великолепный вокалист, мощный, техничный с красивейшим тембром. Слушать его в живую большое удовольствие. Я каждый год бываю на концертах Адама с Квин и это потрясающее шоу, а ведь они вместе уже почти 12 лет
I really enjoyed your reaction and musical insight. I adore this song and Adam but you're absolutely correct, Adam is his own artist (and a fabulous one at that) and needs more visibility for his own music. I remember that Queen saw him and were blown away. The Resurgence of Queen began that moment. I believe that Freddie would be proud to be represented by Adam. Didn't Freddy say something like he didn't mind his music being performed, just don't make it boring? This sure isn't! I've subscribed for more reactions. Thank you!
Great analysis. This is more than a reaction. Clearly you know music and vocal production (very much appreciated, by the way!) I have a huge pet peeve against people singing a hard "R". It's just ugly. Anyway, yes, Adam did take opera in his early days. Did you see him sing Nessun Dorma in Bologna last summer on the Queen tour? I mean, he's not Pavarotti, but he KILLED it. Totally worth the couple of minutes.
Tone from Adam voice ‘ miraculous .’ As well tone young lady reacting…kinda matches with ‘feeling’ Adam conveys…this thrills me as most commentary falls so short …in capturing The artist voice ie: talent! Bravo! Few reactions capture this. Have clinical depression…such complete reaction helps me a lot.T U 💕💕
The eternal joy of Queen is how the band members explored and pushed the boundaries of rock music. Belter can be defined as the ability to hit the back of the venue without the need for amplification. As an aside, you might to check out Freddie and Monserrat Cabaille ‘Barcelona’
Brian's response to this was "Wow" and Roger said he had never heard it sung this way before. Adam fits well into Queen, he is able to put his own emotions into his singing (which often gives songs a new meaning, something Freddie encouraged his fans to do), and is able to give great performances without any of the modern aids used by many.
Fun fact for you. You mentioned your "Norwegian brain" - Adam's ancestry is Norwegian (and French) on his father's side. His grandfather was a visiting professor in Norway when Adam's dad was growing up.
Ah fun :)! I'm guessing he doesn't have much connection to Norway himself at this point, but I know there are some Lamberts (and variations of the name) in Norway.
One of my favorite performances by QAL! Adam is the epitome of perfection in everything he sings. Brian May said that he had never heard this song sung as well as Adam did in this performance. ❤
The only disappointing thing is we don't get to see Roger and Brian's immediate reaction to this performance. We only hear about their reactions after the fact.
Not even kidding, I did not like Adam at first, like FOR REAL I USED TO HATE THIS GUY SO MUCH but his voice man📈 Out of this world and obviously he ain’t the level of Freddie but still gotta admit, Adam’s range is insane!!
Adam doesn’t consider himself a replacement nor do many of QAL fans. "There's never going to be another, and I'm not replacing him. That's not what I'm doing. I'm trying to keep the memoryg alive, and remind people how amazing he was, without imitating him. I'm trying to share with the audience how much he inspired me." "To me @QueenWillRock is Freddie and I am a guest,” ---Adam Lambert
@@sasha07775 As a true fan of Freddie since 30 years, i prefer the original to the copy, so I see no reason to get excited about A. Lambert. Greetings from France
@@jeanneleost1909 There are many of us who are long time fans and some have even seen Freddie live. Those same fans tweet their approval of Adam after seeing QAL. I just so happened to capture and save their tweet: @adamlambert @QueenWillRock were absolutely brilliant @TheO2 tonight. Adam’s vocals on Who want to live forever were superb. I have seen Queen with Freddie twice but this was a brilliant celebration of the best rock band ever’s music. As a huge Queen fan, huge Freddie Mercury fan and huge @adamlambert fan- Netflix doc, ‘The Show must Go On’ is a TREAT!! I don’t think theres a better singer than Adam Lambert around today.--Mia Farrow Seen both Queen with Freddie and Queen and You. Don’t let the haters pull you down. You are a front man and you do the songs proud and with your own style. Keep smashing it. (Following opening of millennium celebration) Joe Elliott (Def Leppard) Queen "For me the absolute highlight of last Saturdays show at the 3Arena in Dublin was Queen and Adam Lambert playing that song. (WWTLF) Unbelievable. The lights, the lasers, the sound, the performances of everybody on stage was absolutely top notch. If you haven't got a ticket yet, go see these guys. Legends of course we all know that. Adam Lambert will be the first to stand up and say he's no Fred, but my goodness one of the best live vocals I've ever heard. And Rick Savage who was sat next to me said exactly the same thing. Was Adam Lambert last week in Dublin." I saw #Queen with #FreddieMercury at The Spectrum in Philadelphia back in the summer of 1980...a show and memory I will never forget! Have to say tho, I was even more blown away with the #QAL #RhapsodyTour Show! Freddie would be proud of #AdamLambert , #BrianMay & #RogerTaylor!💗 I saw Freddie's Queen and I've seen Queen with @adamlambert . BOTH men are extraordinary, phenomenal, other-worldly vocalists and performers...in completely different ways. Those that hate on Adam because he isn't Freddie have clearly never seen him do what he does. I was lucky enough to see Freddie sing, was unsure as to what to expect, in short was blown away, fantastic gig & am sure Freddie would be proud to have you continue the Queen legacy, have fun tonight My first concert was Queen at Slane Castle in ‘86. Saw Queen with Adam Lambert last year. You are in for a treat, enjoy! Saw Queen with Freddie 1975 Christmas Eve, tonight with Adam Lambert. Both incredible shows fronted by incredible showmen. Messrs May and Taylor constants of course. @DrBrianMay @OfficialRMT @QueenWillRock @adamlambert wow!! That gig will live in my memory forever, I was at Knebworth in 1986, miss Freddie’s voice so much, so happy you guys found each other! Thank you! #matchmadeinheaven I was fortunate enough to see Queen with Freddie twice. I have never seen anyone play to an audience like him. He was never afraid to take chances. I got lucky, and saw Queen with Adam live recently, and my jaw dropped. What a killer show they put on. Go see it! I've been going to see Queen live since 1978 but @DrBrianMay, @adamlambert and @OfficialRMT last night in Glasgow was phenomenal. Thank you!!!!! Hey mate, the bloody game was called off! Anyway we moseyed on up the toon, I’m just in actually after a 12.30 start, great day out. Queen were terrific mate,m I’ve been lucky enough to see Freddie Mercury in the 8O’s and Adam Lambert to his credit was a great front man 30 years since I have seen Queen and this was just brilliant! @adamlambert Freddie would be so proud Having not seen Queen without Freddie until now - I’m so pleased that I saw them @TheO2 with Adam Lambert last evening. It was one of the most incredible shows I’ve seen. Adam Lambert doesn’t attempt to replace Freddie but pays great tribute to his memory - an honour You know you loty Queenies....we make people rich. Told my relatives not to expect any monies upon my death because I am throwing it all at Adam and Queen. Saw Freddie 5 times have to say this time around is twice the fun. Fellow Canadians at the bar who had seen Queen with Freddie have to admit Adam's range far surpasses Freddie's. Guy beside me had seen Freddie 3 times, Paul Rodgers 2 times. LOVED @adamlambert Lots of OMGs, phenomenal & wows. Told you, I said. I last saw Queen in 1986 at Wembley London, Freddy was awesome back then. I was happily surprised by Adam Lambert... boygeorgeofficial Went to see @adamlambert performing with #Queen in Sydney and it was fabulous. Adam’s voice is astounding and he does not need to apologize for not being Freddy Mercury. Adam brings his own flavor to those timeless songs and he is a wonderful artist in his own right. Loved the glittering 70s platforms. Brian singing ‘love of my life’ was beautiful. No need to apologize Brian you bring beauty and vulnerability to my fave Queen song! Roger on ‘It’s A Kind Of Magic’ was also full of feeling. Very Bowie-esque and I loved the drum solos and Brian’s axe lamenting. It was a night with everything. GO you will live for it! @adamlambert I saw queen 5 times 77-86. Saw u with the guys in 2014 and again on Wednesday in Sydney. U enhance their brilliance and it is just as enjoyable watching them now as it was with Freddie.credit to you. Haha my dad a massive Queen fan. My parents saw Freddie live. Yes Freddie not Freddy. Now considers @adamlambert as “Freddie’s heir apparent”. Was stunned by his performance. This is Adams legacy
Thank you so much for watching! ❤️ Check out my first Adam Lambert reaction to his Cher tribute performance of Believe here: ua-cam.com/video/Z9Untpa_jlM/v-deo.html
YVW, I have watched that one. I've watched most of your videos but this is my first time commenting.
Adam is an icon. People say he’s no Freddie, Freddie is no Adam either
That's it! They're not the same person and they don't have to be
Personally I prefer Adam's voice, yes both are powerful but I just prefers Adam's tone more and I can listen to him for hours.

As you know, I used to think it sounded stilted or pretentious when singers would turn those “rr” sounds into “aah” sounds 🙄 It would have been kinda hilarious if anyone had seen me reacting to YOUR reactions and analysis here because I was so constantly in agreement that I’m sure I looked like a little bobble head doll 😂 I love how effortlessly Adam can transition his voice from powerful belting to whispery-soft light breathy vocals. And can we just take a moment to appreciate his tremendous range? Sheesh❣️He has complete command of the stage and of his voice…and of our hearts 💕💕BRAVO on this one❣️🙂🌈👸 Sorry this comment is so long but you know how much I love me some Adam! A new favorite performance❣️🩷
Thank YOU so much 🥰❤️ You know I like your taste, and Adam is absolutely phenomenal! What a vocalist 🙌. And singing THIS song after Pulse?? Oooof, he must have felt it but you (at least I) can't tell in his voice.
And it's much thanks to you that I talked about that pronunciation ☺️. I feel very country when i sing foreverrrrrrrr hahahha. And lol I'd love to see the bobble head video 😂.
Thank you again ❤❤
Looks like you got excited at adams amazing vocals 😊
Indeed I did :D haha. He makes it too easy!
Loved your comments!
💕Loved your reaction!
Thank you
Адам великолепный вокалист, мощный, техничный с красивейшим тембром. Слушать его в живую большое удовольствие. Я каждый год бываю на концертах Адама с Квин и это потрясающее шоу, а ведь они вместе уже почти 12 лет
Ah you're so lucky that you've seen them live. Sounds like a great tradition you've got going! :)
I really enjoyed your reaction and musical insight. I adore this song and Adam but you're absolutely correct, Adam is his own artist (and a fabulous one at that) and needs more visibility for his own music. I remember that Queen saw him and were blown away. The Resurgence of Queen began that moment. I believe that Freddie would be proud to be represented by Adam. Didn't Freddy say something like he didn't mind his music being performed, just don't make it boring? This sure isn't! I've subscribed for more reactions. Thank you!
Great analysis. This is more than a reaction. Clearly you know music and vocal production (very much appreciated, by the way!) I have a huge pet peeve against people singing a hard "R". It's just ugly. Anyway, yes, Adam did take opera in his early days. Did you see him sing Nessun Dorma in Bologna last summer on the Queen tour? I mean, he's not Pavarotti, but he KILLED it. Totally worth the couple of minutes.
Thank you so much
Tone from Adam voice ‘ miraculous .’ As well tone young lady reacting…kinda matches with ‘feeling’ Adam conveys…this thrills me as most commentary falls so short …in capturing
The artist voice ie: talent!
Bravo! Few reactions capture this. Have clinical depression…such complete reaction helps me a lot.T U
💕💕
Thank you so much for watching :)
The eternal joy of Queen is how the band members explored and pushed the boundaries of rock music.
Belter can be defined as the ability to hit the back of the venue without the need for amplification.
As an aside, you might to check out Freddie and Monserrat Cabaille ‘Barcelona’
Brian's response to this was "Wow" and Roger said he had never heard it sung this way before.
Adam fits well into Queen, he is able to put his own emotions into his singing (which often gives songs a new meaning, something Freddie encouraged his fans to do), and is able to give great performances without any of the modern aids used by many.
Fun fact for you. You mentioned your "Norwegian brain" - Adam's ancestry is Norwegian (and French) on his father's side. His grandfather was a visiting professor in Norway when Adam's dad was growing up.
Ah fun :)! I'm guessing he doesn't have much connection to Norway himself at this point, but I know there are some Lamberts (and variations of the name) in Norway.
Even Roger Stone has said that he had never heard this song performed like this, and that this was really special.
Oooo just notified❣️I’m jumping in and I’ll be back 🥰
💖
One of my favorite performances by QAL! Adam is the epitome of perfection in everything he sings. Brian May said that he had never heard this song sung as well as Adam did in this performance. ❤
Have you heard him on the vanquishing of the threeheaded sea witch?
I haven't :) Guessing I should check it out?
@@HegeOfficial no live version just studio but pretty cool.....different....
It’s on the Andrew Lloyd Webber bad Cinderella soundtrack. Search by song name not Adam’s name
Freddie and Adam, apples and oranges-I love them both despite them being different
HI from Iran.💓
Hii! :)
now try his a'cappela nissun dorma in italy
The only disappointing thing is we don't get to see Roger and Brian's immediate reaction to this performance. We only hear about their reactions after the fact.
watch Closer to You or Underneath

he has some opera training
he was classically trained, took opera lessons.
Жаль что вы перестали реагировать на Диану Анкундинову.
Not even kidding, I did not like Adam at first, like FOR REAL I USED TO HATE THIS GUY SO MUCH but his voice man📈
Out of this world and obviously he ain’t the level of Freddie but still gotta admit, Adam’s range is insane!!
"It is impossible to replace Freddie." (John Deacon)
Adam doesn’t consider himself a replacement nor do many of QAL fans.
"There's never going to be another, and I'm not replacing him. That's not what I'm doing. I'm trying to keep the memoryg alive, and remind people how amazing he was, without imitating him. I'm trying to share with the audience how much he inspired me." "To me @QueenWillRock is Freddie and I am a guest,”
---Adam Lambert
@@sasha07775 As a true fan of Freddie since 30 years, i prefer the original to the copy, so I see no reason to get excited about A. Lambert.
Greetings from France
@@jeanneleost1909 There are many of us who are long time fans and some have even seen Freddie live. Those same fans tweet their approval of Adam after seeing QAL. I just so happened to capture and save their tweet:
@adamlambert @QueenWillRock were absolutely brilliant @TheO2 tonight. Adam’s vocals on Who want to live forever were superb. I have seen Queen with Freddie twice but this was a brilliant celebration of the best rock band ever’s music.
As a huge Queen fan, huge Freddie Mercury fan and huge @adamlambert fan- Netflix doc, ‘The Show must Go On’ is a TREAT!! I don’t think theres a better singer than Adam Lambert around today.--Mia Farrow
Seen both Queen with Freddie and Queen and You. Don’t let the haters pull you down. You are a front man and you do the songs proud and with your own style. Keep smashing it. (Following opening of millennium celebration)
Joe Elliott (Def Leppard) Queen
"For me the absolute highlight of last Saturdays show at the 3Arena in Dublin was Queen and Adam Lambert playing that song. (WWTLF) Unbelievable. The lights, the lasers, the sound, the performances of everybody on stage was absolutely top notch. If you haven't got a ticket yet, go see these guys. Legends of course we all know that. Adam Lambert will be the first to stand up and say he's no Fred, but my goodness one of the best live vocals I've ever heard. And Rick Savage who was sat next to me said exactly the same thing. Was Adam Lambert last week in Dublin."
I saw #Queen with #FreddieMercury at The Spectrum in Philadelphia back in the summer of 1980...a show and memory I will never forget! Have to say tho, I was even more blown away with the #QAL #RhapsodyTour Show! Freddie would be proud of #AdamLambert , #BrianMay & #RogerTaylor!💗
I saw Freddie's Queen and I've seen Queen with @adamlambert . BOTH men are extraordinary, phenomenal, other-worldly vocalists and performers...in completely different ways. Those that hate on Adam because he isn't Freddie have clearly never seen him do what he does.
I was lucky enough to see Freddie sing, was unsure as to what to expect, in short was blown away, fantastic gig & am sure Freddie would be proud to have you continue the Queen legacy, have fun tonight
My first concert was Queen at Slane Castle in ‘86. Saw Queen with Adam Lambert last year. You are in for a treat, enjoy!
Saw Queen with Freddie 1975 Christmas Eve, tonight with Adam Lambert. Both incredible shows fronted by incredible showmen. Messrs May and Taylor constants of course.
@DrBrianMay @OfficialRMT @QueenWillRock @adamlambert wow!! That gig will live in my memory forever, I was at Knebworth in 1986, miss Freddie’s voice so much, so happy you guys found each other! Thank you! #matchmadeinheaven
I was fortunate enough to see Queen with Freddie twice. I have never seen anyone play to an audience like him. He was never afraid to take chances. I got lucky, and saw Queen with Adam live recently, and my jaw dropped. What a killer show they put on. Go see it!
I've been going to see Queen live since 1978 but @DrBrianMay, @adamlambert and @OfficialRMT last night in Glasgow was phenomenal. Thank you!!!!!
Hey mate, the bloody game was called off! Anyway we moseyed on up the toon, I’m just in actually after a 12.30 start, great day out. Queen were terrific mate,m I’ve been lucky enough to see Freddie Mercury in the 8O’s and Adam Lambert to his credit was a great front man
30 years since I have seen Queen and this was just brilliant! @adamlambert Freddie would be so proud
Having not seen Queen without Freddie until now - I’m so pleased that I saw them @TheO2 with Adam Lambert last evening. It was one of the most incredible shows I’ve seen. Adam Lambert doesn’t attempt to replace Freddie but pays great tribute to his memory - an honour
You know you loty Queenies....we make people rich. Told my relatives not to expect any monies upon my death because I am throwing it all at Adam and Queen. Saw Freddie 5 times have to say this time around is twice the fun.
Fellow Canadians at the bar who had seen Queen with Freddie have to admit Adam's range far surpasses Freddie's.
Guy beside me had seen Freddie 3 times, Paul Rodgers 2 times. LOVED @adamlambert Lots of OMGs, phenomenal & wows. Told you, I said.
I last saw Queen in 1986 at Wembley London, Freddy was awesome back then. I was happily surprised by Adam Lambert...
boygeorgeofficial Went to see @adamlambert performing with #Queen in Sydney and it was fabulous. Adam’s voice is astounding and he does not need to apologize for not being Freddy Mercury. Adam brings his own flavor to those timeless songs and he is a wonderful artist in his own right. Loved the glittering 70s platforms. Brian singing ‘love of my life’ was beautiful. No need to apologize Brian you bring beauty and vulnerability to my fave Queen song!
Roger on ‘It’s A Kind Of Magic’ was also full of feeling. Very Bowie-esque and I loved the drum solos and Brian’s axe lamenting. It was a night with everything. GO you will live for it!
@adamlambert I saw queen 5 times 77-86. Saw u with the guys in 2014 and again on Wednesday in Sydney. U enhance their brilliance and it is just as enjoyable watching them now as it was with Freddie.credit to you.
Haha my dad a massive Queen fan. My parents saw Freddie live. Yes Freddie not Freddy. Now considers @adamlambert as “Freddie’s heir apparent”. Was stunned by his performance. This is Adams legacy
@@sasha07775 Oulah ! You should write novels. 🤔
@@jeanneleost1909 You misunderstood. Those were copied from Twitter as they occurred and saved. Now they are merely a copy and paste.
Marc Martel kicks Lambert's ass.
Lmao
only in his dreams lmao
Beautiful song written by Brian May. And Adam's voice is always amazing! Love this guy and the band!
