    Praise to Adam’s mother… Adam in the American Idol contest allowed my husband and I to watch with our young daughter …and to affirm him for being himself. So glad he took a chance. He never lost us. We admired him even more. And December 2023 he sang in Westminster Cathedral for the Christmas carol service. There you go, Adam! 🐑🐑🇳🇿🇳🇿NZ

    I’ve been a hardcore fan since I in stood in my living room, jaw dropped, mouth hanging wide open, watching him sing his version of “Ring of Fire” on American Idol. I was mesmerized during that performance and knew beyond a doubt that he would end up a super star. Not a doubt. Best vocalist I’ve ever heard in my 53 years!

    My first concert was Queen 1977. I saw Queen live four different amazing tours.
    I liked Lambert on Idol, but I thought I would never see Queen+Lambert because I saw Freddie. Freddie was The Best.
    This last Q+L "Rhapsody Tour" I decided to take my wife and see Brian and Roger once more.
    The show was terrific, and Lamberts' voice is exceptional singing the Queen catolog.
    We had a great time.

It is mesmerizing, my all-time favorite to date, not only because of the voice, but the theatrics is outstanding and the audience is speechless.
