Jake Deceased Toe .....Brian is the BEST ever. He is amazing, as is Roger! I’m not crazy about Adam Lambert. Something is missing that was there with Freddie. He’s not a “showman”.
Freddie filled the stage with his presence. Adam Doesnt fill that spot, but fills his own unique spot, and its phenomenal. He doesnt try taking the glory of Freddie, but makes his own mark on the music.
@@theresanolan1157 Have you seen him live on stage with Queen? I have. And I disagree with you absolutely. He states absolutely that he is not there to replace Mercury but to honor him. And he does it spectacularly.
@@marlenesullivan3113 🤣 you did listen though and decided to leave a comment. Ha! Hahaha!! You listened. Thanks for adding to the views & comments count.😹
Holy Cow .. I had heard that Lambert toured with Queen but I had no idea he sounded THAT GOOD . I think Freddie is smiling and more than giving his OK !
You should hear them live ... it is IN CRED IBLE!!! Adam brings so much intense emotion to Freddie's lyrics, at the same time he is so humbled and keeps pointing up to heaven and thanking Freddie 😍 The band really love him, Brian May calls Adam their gift from God
Was at Queen and Adam Lambert's Rhapsody tour last night in Glasgow. This boy has a set of pipes - it's unworldly! Brian and Roger do not age. It's a match made in heaven (probably by Freddie himself)
Brian May is 71. Roger Taylor is 69. They don't have to work anymore if they don't want to. Isn't it great that they want to? About to do a tour this summer '19 as well.
@@tomiton6661 It's not up to you to tell anyone other than yourself when to and when not to work. They love what they do and will continue as long as they like.
Wow!!!!! Adam Lambert is a phenomenal talent .. the drive in his voice is just incredible. I saw Queen & Adam Lambert perform in Melbourne, Australia and AL's voice is stunningly good live .. such vocal command .. such charisma, he brings such joy, such humour and in "Who wants to live forever" such pathos to the performance. He is over the top .. but if you run with it .. you get so caught up in the powerhouse rock voice and strutting around you just find yourself enthralled .. under a spell. Brian was so mesmerizing singing, his performance, his presence is very moving .. what a wonderful, caring, generous, inspirational man he is .. and the inclusion of Freddie on screen was so poignant. So very sad he is not here, but it is a tribute to the music they created how successful this touring has been and a credit that they can deliver such world class entertainment. I love, love, love Queen and am so happy they came to Australia and so thrilled they have such a brilliant singer to tour with. If you get a chance go see them . they are legends!
He's the only singer who is able to give me a RUSH when I hear him sing... I'm talking ADRENALINE! It happened the first time 6 years ago when I was channel surfing and I stumbled on to Idol and saw this boy perform 'Satisfaction'. I didn't know what hit me then... His performance was playing in the back of my mind everyday after that n I just had this nagging urge to look him up n watch it again. He did something vocally crazy... something I've never experienced before. I didn't become an instant fan but I think it was at the point of 'Born To Be Wild' that I realized he's crazy good and then I found myself rooting for him to win. Then he did that epic performance with KISS n Queen and when he didn't win, I started to support him n his music n unknowingly became a Glambert, till this day! All of us who have seen him with Queen on that Idol finale felt and knew there was an undeniable chemistry between them. They are soooo exciting together! Some think that it's serendipitous that they met but now, it's obvious - it's DESTINY!!! Adam was BORN for this!
@@deanaxlrose being a second rate imitator who can't sing rock is nothing to brag about. Adam Lambert is the best singer alive and Queen wanted only him.
Still. They finished a world tour earlier this year, did a ten-date Vegas residency and Brian May announced on TV this morning that they would be doing another big tour next year.
By far the best performance ever on that x factor show. Adam is phenomenal and Queen is still in credible. Im rewatching this again and again and it still amazes me. Fantastic :)
Adam has that "Freddie essence" that makes him perfect to have taken that position. He does it respectfully but with enough of his own flair that doesn't make it seem like a karaoke performance. 👍💕
Honestly- I love this pairing. Adam Lambert is not Freddie Mercury. And he's not trying to be him. He's paying tribute to a legend and doing an amazing job. He's got an insane vocal range and strength just like Freddie. And I'm sure he would be proud of him.
I definitely agree Amanda. Adam has the charisma, stage performance, vocals, high energy and he's down right sexy...JUST like Freddie! Even though FM was gay, (just like Adam), he charmed every women of every age, right along with the boyz... (just like Adam)!!! No-one can replace the shoes of the late, great, Freddie Mercury, but Adam is right on the money! Kudos to him...Fan 4 Life, Queen + Adam Lambert ;-P
It's an unfortunate case of being overshadowed by awesome. He's definitely talented, he deserves that much at the very least, but he's trying to fill one of the biggest pairs of musical shoes out there. Give dues where they're given though, he smashes this brilliantly.
Why Adam is the PERFECT heir to Freddie's Majesty. 1. Brian and Roger both agreed Adam should continue Freddie's legacy. He made them feel young and lively while performing again. 2. Adam shows great respect and maturity alongside these legendary musicians. 3. Apart from giving his all in his singing, he repeatedly said he's not there to replace Freddie. He's merely there to continue his (and Queen's) legacy. 4. His vocal quality, range and stage presence. I actually hear and see a bit of Freddie in him.
Glad you figure it out, also, to add his solo career and what he did, already- is VERY POETIC. :P one day, I think you will understand, but I'm not sure it will be when he is around. But to add- it's great they won band of the year.
@@ramielwarda8164 Apart from the fact that Martel tries to sound like Freddie, no person of any musical integrity has ever denied the fact that Queen and Adam together is a fantastic combo.
I love that Adam pays his respects to Queen and Freddie and to their music! I don't want a imitator of Freddie Mercury, if I want to hear Freddie I listen to Freddie! Adam does Adam and pays respect with his voice perfectly!
@Kieran Tickle You must be joking. Lambert is a total imitator who can't read notes, who can't play any instrument, and who can't perform on a stage without hundreds of people ( hairdressers, lighting specialists and others). He is a product - a mediocre one without real musical skills.
A power house singer, performer who takes total control of the stage especially performing along with one of the greatest bands of all time .Adam Lambert you you may have had really big shoes to fill, but oh boy you did pull that off with mastery , displaying a powerful vocal range, tremendous stage presence being sultry, sassy and classy all together.
toxboxic It's timeless - period - many artists have sung this iconic music - you may prefer FM and that's your privilege - but this music belongs to Queen - not one performer
toxboxic You are wrong. I love Freddie's voice. But he is dead and life is going on. Brian and Roger genius musicians, thanks to them we are still able to enjoy their music live! Adam is their choice and absolutely rightful one!.
So happy for Brian, Roger, and Adam. Although no one can ever replace The Freddie Mercury, Adam Lambert is a great singer! I’m sure Freddie is looking down from heaven with the biggest smile ever❤️ The legend still lives on
I think Freddie is smiling down on Adam proud that they found someone worthy to carry on his legacy. Its almost as if there is a piece of Freddie in Adam.
Dude has some pipes. Great range, and he brings his own style to the songs. For the people bent on him not being Freddie. He's not supposed to be. If I could sing even half as well as either of them, and Queen asked me to sing with them, you bet I'd be there. Well, after I recovered from my heart attack from when they asked.
First time of heard this guy sing. He'll never replace Freddy and he's not trying to but he seems to fit right in as if he's been there all the time. The guy can sing.
Brian the man! Rocking the hairdo STILL and Adam portraying Freddie like a champ. Adam is a fantastic singer and he adored Queen. They made the right choice choosing him to fill in. He didn’t replace, he just filled in and did his best! 👏 great job, Adam!
"Roger and I have seen literally thousands of singers in our lifetimes including some great ones auditioning for our We Will Rock You show, but we’ve never seen or heard anything like Adam. I always think that Freddie, with a wicked smile, would say something like “I hate you, Madam Lambert,” because even Freddie would have been gobsmacked at his range and his ability to reinterpret these songs which the four of us originally created together." (Classic Rock)
JESUS every time I watch this (and I've watched this probably too many times to count) I'm like ADAM who gave you the right to hit us with that riff at 4:07!!! I mean my god!! Just incredible. Props to Brian and Rog. They too sound f'n amazing as ever. So, so much love
Have you seen this from queen and Adam? It's insane what he does all the way through, but especially in the end... ua-cam.com/video/zVriLnMOCcM/v-deo.html
Listen to the high notes sung by Freddie in { mother love} and he was dying. Adam was good, but don't Disrespect Freddie. Roger even commented on how well he hit the high notes
@@Dr.Freeze was that reply necessary? You are always entitled to an opinion as am I. Do you have to be "dumb" in the reply? Just asking. Not saying u are dumb.
f k this is awesome....I thought Adam lambert was a bad idea but sht he's good with Queen.he captures the same emotions and operatic vocal style of Freddie.....awesssooome i am now a fan
+Anti-Hater If he's so horrible, then I'm wondering how he sold out all those arenas, got RAVE reviews world-wide, kept extending the show due to high demand, and won two awards from Classic Rock. I guess those hundreds of thousands who actually paid to see him were not disappointed.
+Jess Dela Fuente Yes. Adam sounded quite good on this song...his own version, but it worked. Have heard some other songs he did with Queen and wasn't as good, but maybe I was subconsciously comparing to Freddie at the time. If Adam keeps rocking it out like this one, looking forward to more.
+Jess Dela Fuente first at Juliusz. He's not trying to be Freddie, but he is as close as they cold ever get. Its about memorializing a legend and making so many fans happy. Now to Jess. I agree 100%. When I saw him on American Idol. The irt thing I thought was that the guys should scoop him up quick and tour with Adam. Bonus is he's just as flamboyant, wears snazzily clothing, and he has mad respect for Freddie and Queen
"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 memory 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
Adam is so amazing!!! He is definitely staying true to himself as he honors the great Freddie Mercury!!! So very proud to be a fan. Adam has an Amazing voice and such a beautiful soul. Oh yeah I forgot to mention he is gorgeous.
Freddie would be real damn proud of Adam. I think Adam is brilliant, bought his flair to Queen and instead of being bombast with hate, people should commend Adam for stepping into Freddie's massive shoes and pull it off!
I agree with you 100% there are unfortunately haters that follow Adam everywhere on social media b/c they are so jealous of his talent and are critical of Adam thinking it's going to change Brian and Roger's mind. Ha!
Brian and Roger knew what they were doing when they chose Adam. They would never tarnish Freddie's legacy with an imitator. Instead, they picked someone who honors Freddie's' vision for the band. "When the whole point of Queen was to be original." Freddie Mercury "A concert is not a live rendition of our album. It's a theatrical event." Freddie Mercury "I have fun with my clothes onstage; it's not a concert you're seeing, it's a fashion show." Freddie Mercury
I'm finally seeing queen this summer and I'm so excited! Adam brings his own unique talent and vocal range to these already classic songs makes me smile. They bring in fans old and new, and Freddie is smiling from heaven that the legacy of Queen is still alive and well
I always knew Adam Lambert would go far! I remember throwing my shoe at the television when he didn't win American Idol. I was so upset because I knew he was a champ. Just love him. So happy for him.
I think it’s better that he doesn’t sound like Freddie. No one could ever replace Freddie Mercury. He has some of the stage presence and the charisma, that’s enough.
@@rachelaubie4818 I would legit, pay $800 to watch marc martel live. It's the closest we'd ever get to Freddie because he's an impersonator, he doesn't have a 10th of the talent or showmanship but I'm happy to just see that. He knows it too, he just loves queen so much and as Freddie said "I don't care what you do with my music, just have fun with it"
We seem to live in a society nowadays where people can only praise someone by belittling anothers talent. Adams a wonderful vocalist. True fans know he isn’t Freddie, but respect his tribute none the less. The rest of the band liked him enough to pick him and that’s good enough for me.
Yes, I agree with you, Curtis Cameron. After Freddie Mercury's death in 1991, QUEEN members and Management Team and Freddie Mercury's Phoenix Trust Fund Team chose Paul Rodgers as frontman from 2004 to 2008 and Adam Lambert from 2011 to present. It's embarrassing how much hateful epithets are labeled on Adam Lambert on this almost 10year old promotion video of QUEEN and Adam Lambert's 2015-16 successful UK and European Concerts Tour released by Queen Official. Jealousy is one of human intrinsic emotions how anyone handle such separates who's decent and who's not.
Great performance - Lambert's voice superb - as May said - Freddie would be jealous of Lambert's range and would love him, too - can't get all the angst here - Freddie's dead - long live Lambert - bringing this great music back to life again - lovin' it -
toxboxic When you play all the years with Freddie I think they know's him more than you my dear, they knows Freddie like a brothers so they know Freddie will like Adam jeez do you think we need to verify that with Freddie...its to late so please wake up and lets the Best Group play there succes they have to make the Homage to Freddie...I love Adam Lambert he his amazing performer and singer...so its time to accept Freddie's dead but we always love him for ever...thats it.
@@pamodhudawatta4922 absolutely. It's the right way and the most difficult one, it's easy going for copying and imitating... It's extremely difficult to make it your own and add new fresh flavours, which he does and he's fantastic.
@@BestBeatsDailyUS why is it when people compliment Adam marc martel lovers always butting in...like people are allowed to like Adam more. We like originality and individuality not impersonators ...
What a thrill that must have been for Adam in that moment! If someone told him , in a year or so you’ll be singing w/Queen, I wonder what he would’ve thought! Great performance!
I saw Queen when I was a kid back in the 70’s. It’s easy to say Lambert is not Mercury. But Mercury was no Lambert either. As far as Queen goes, having seen them on stage with Freddie, seeing this with Adam gave me goosebumps. That kid is fucking great.
Rachel Clayton - Marc Martel sounds JUST LIKE Freddie, which ISN'T what Brian and Roger want. that would be similar to hiring a replica/impersonator of Freddie, which, let's be real, is disrespectful. and Marc doesn't have the charisma & stage presence Adam has. it isn't just about the voice, especially when you have to engage thousands of ppl at concert venues.
that was why he came in second place! he can be free as an international superstar!! been a fan of queen for decades..so glad it is still around giving awesome performances!
Though he is not Freddie (no one will EVER be Freddie!!!!!), Adam is 100% the best choice they could have made to perform with them. He can actually sing, he has great range, he is theatrical and he doesn't try to mimic Freddie; he sings the songs well enough, but in his own way which is still suited to Queen.
+giggleweed From the Tribute concert? I have that on DVD; all the performances are top notch and the artists chosen are well suited to their songs! Only thing wrong with that concert is that no one sang "Friends Will Be Friends" - which, considering the tribute material, would have been most fitting and very touching.
I was never a huge Queen fan.. liked their tunes.. i was a Southern Rock N Roller.. Really learned a lot about Freddie & Queen watching the movie Bohemian Rhapsody.. Watched American Idol when Lambert was on it.. With that said.. i think Freddie would smile & give a thumbs up to Adam being on stage w/ Queen.. He has his own vocal style .. he isn't trying to replace Freddie.. simply honor his legacy.. HUGE props to him.. He does an EXCELLENT job!! There are those that will NEVER accept Adam in this role.. if so.. dont watch.. just listen to your original Queen albums.. see how easy that lil fix was 😊
Adam is the man. Nobody is Freddie of course, but boy oh boy can that kid sing and hit those notes and then take them into the stratosphere. Phenomenal.
No fancy words needed, Adam Lambert is outstanding, singing and stage presence, Freddie Mercury would be a fan, I certainly am from the first time I saw him and I’m a straight white 68 year old lady, he quite simply spreads magic on stage.
@@bartilliak If you hate Adam then you ain't a real Queen fan. Freddie said himself that "the show must go on." He would not want the spirit and music of Queen to die with him.
Correct, Adam Lambert is not Freddie Mercury, but he's a helluva singer, and it's great to hear and see the songs of Queen being performed live again....rock on!
Your comment made me think of an old video (2010) of Adam Lambert exercising on a stationary bike huffing and puffing while singing "shine like a diamond 💎.
I recently attended an Adam Lambert/Queen concert at the Hollywood bowl. Yes, nobody will EVER replace Freddy Mercury, but it was refreshing to see that Adam has brought new life to Queen and that Queen lives on because of him. May we be thankful that this pairing continues to keep Queen and their music alive.
I swear Brian will be like 100 years old and STILL be playing the guitar with such charisma. He is immortal
Carcharodontosaurus 831 i truly hope so
In 2016 I read about some thing that would make you immortal or live for like 200 years.. can you imagine that though..

Freddie filled the stage with his presence. Adam Doesnt fill that spot, but fills his own unique spot, and its phenomenal. He doesnt try taking the glory of Freddie, but makes his own mark on the music.

And it is even better if you hear i live. The guy is unbeleivable!
Mark Boston he sings in a very different fashion than from the original. I can't decide if this is good

So jealous. Never even knew that gig was on til after the fact. Hoping they’ll tour one more time and play the hydro!

Been a Queen fan since 1973, saw Queen with Freddie 7 times through the years. Adam gets my blessing, awesome singer and band sounds great.
I envy you so much :)
You are lucky to see Freddie that amount of times, amazing...
It's just mind-blowing how Adam sings that song so effortlessly
It's amazing the dream Adam is living right now. So happy for him.
Yes he's living off the songs Freddie wrote and sang like no other.
Lulu Cidette what do you mean by "living off"
He has his own stuff out as well and it is doing well. However, to stand in the shoes of Freddie in honor of his work, that is a dream.

toxboxic It's timeless - period - many artists have sung this iconic music - you may prefer FM and that's your privilege - but this music belongs to Queen - not one performer
The label on the song says written by freddie mercury, so it is his song. Ic it were the bands, it would have said "queen composition"
toxboxic You posted music (plural) - not STL (song) -
toxboxic You are wrong. I love Freddie's voice. But he is dead and life is going on. Brian and Roger genius musicians, thanks to them we are still able to enjoy their music live! Adam is their choice and absolutely rightful one!.
Adam is frigging awesome - best choice possible to sing for Queen. What a performance!
george michael was slightly better.
Kyle Roberts No.
OOMackica 1000 nope
George Michael is dead and he did not want to perform regular with Queen (Brain&Roger asked him)
George Michael was too unique to sing for Queen.
So happy for Brian, Roger, and Adam. Although no one can ever replace The Freddie Mercury, Adam Lambert is a great singer! I’m sure Freddie is looking down from heaven with the biggest smile ever❤️ The legend still lives on
How long have you been a fan of Adam lambert
I think Freddie is smiling down on Adam proud that they found someone worthy to carry on his legacy. Its almost as if there is a piece of Freddie in Adam.
there's no piece in him
Adam Lambert is amazing...
Never,He would be bored and angry . Neatly 30 years after he passed away and still the same songs.
Absolutely
Mike Mortell. Not adam
Bryan Mays a fantastic guitarist. His solos sound as good now as they did 30 years ago .
Dude has some pipes. Great range, and he brings his own style to the songs. For the people bent on him not being Freddie. He's not supposed to be. If I could sing even half as well as either of them, and Queen asked me to sing with them, you bet I'd be there. Well, after I recovered from my heart attack from when they asked.
First time of heard this guy sing. He'll never replace Freddy and he's not trying to but he seems to fit right in as if he's been there all the time. The guy can sing.
Daryl W no body will replace Freddie but Adam is good in his own way
He has such an amazing voice. He is keeping Queen going!
My favorite current singer (male). He was so robbed on American Idol. UA-cam his songs as well. He is amazing!
Brian the man! Rocking the hairdo STILL and Adam portraying Freddie like a champ. Adam is a fantastic singer and he adored Queen. They made the right choice choosing him to fill in. He didn’t replace, he just filled in and did his best! 👏 great job, Adam!
"Roger and I have seen literally thousands of singers in our lifetimes including some great ones auditioning for our We Will Rock You show, but we’ve never seen or heard anything like Adam. I always think that Freddie, with a wicked smile, would say something like “I hate you, Madam Lambert,” because even Freddie would have been gobsmacked at his range and his ability to reinterpret these songs which the four of us originally created together."
(Classic Rock)
Brian i think you made the right choice with adam.. there should be no debate.. it was your and Rogers choice.
right
Exactly.
He is good but no where near freddie
Billy Boy I’ve seen them both live. They are different, but both are amazing vocalists and performers.
No voice can replace Freddie's... but Adam is about as close as you can get. Phenomenal.
Close, but without imitating.
Yes, but Marc Martel is so close to do it
@@teddcas868Marc is a mimic and published a series of online videos on how to sing like Freddie Mercury.
Roger's back-up voice is old but gold. Love u Rogah!
He’s just an outstanding vocalist, I love him with Queen! Freddie would be proud!
He’s not as good as Freddie
@@jasoncammarata8476 In Live singing ability, he far surpasses what Freddie was capable of.

JESUS every time I watch this (and I've watched this probably too many times to count) I'm like ADAM who gave you the right to hit us with that riff at 4:07!!! I mean my god!! Just incredible. Props to Brian and Rog. They too sound f'n amazing as ever. So, so much love
Have you seen this from queen and Adam? It's insane what he does all the way through, but especially in the end...
ua-cam.com/video/zVriLnMOCcM/v-deo.html
I didn't realize Adam Lambert was this good. Wow.
Freddie or not, this gives me the chills.
Freddie or not, this gives me the chills.
His range gives me chills every time!
NO ONE can do those high notes back to back like Adam...and place a vibrato while belting a few octaves..DAMN
Listen to the high notes sung by Freddie in { mother love} and he was dying. Adam was good, but don't Disrespect Freddie. Roger even commented on how well he hit the high notes
@@margarethirsche126 where did I disrespect anyone?
No one? You're dumb
@@Dr.Freeze was that reply necessary? You are always entitled to an opinion as am I. Do you have to be "dumb" in the reply? Just asking. Not saying u are dumb.
Freddie could, and he makes Adam look like a dime a dozen singer. Never thought the mates would sell out :(
f k this is awesome....I thought Adam lambert was a bad idea but sht he's good with Queen.he captures the same emotions and operatic vocal style of Freddie.....awesssooome
i am now a fan
+Sparq Meister *Not true for me - he's much worst. Freddie was (is) a real legend. There's no one better than him*
+Anti-Hater If he's so horrible, then I'm wondering how he sold out all those arenas, got RAVE reviews world-wide, kept extending the show due to high demand, and won two awards from Classic Rock. I guess those hundreds of thousands who actually paid to see him were not disappointed.
+Jess Dela Fuente Yes. Adam sounded quite good on this song...his own version, but it worked. Have heard some other songs he did with Queen and wasn't as good, but maybe I was subconsciously comparing to Freddie at the time. If Adam keeps rocking it out like this one, looking forward to more.
+Jess Dela Fuente first at Juliusz. He's not trying to be Freddie, but he is as close as they cold ever get. Its about memorializing a legend and making so many fans happy. Now to Jess. I agree 100%. When I saw him on American Idol. The irt thing I thought was that the guys should scoop him up quick and tour with Adam. Bonus is he's just as flamboyant, wears snazzily clothing, and he has mad respect for Freddie and Queen
bull
"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 memory 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
Adam is so amazing!!! He is definitely staying true to himself as he honors the great Freddie Mercury!!! So very proud to be a fan. Adam has an Amazing voice and such a beautiful soul. Oh yeah I forgot to mention he is gorgeous.
Wow indeed adam lambert is a great singer,How long have you been a fan of Adam lambert
They get so much joy out of watching Adam. So sweet.
Freddie would be real damn proud of Adam. I think Adam is brilliant, bought his flair to Queen and instead of being bombast with hate, people should commend Adam for stepping into Freddie's massive shoes and pull it off!
I agree with you 100% there are unfortunately haters that follow Adam everywhere on social media b/c they are so jealous of his talent and are critical of Adam thinking it's going to change Brian and Roger's mind. Ha!
The good thing is Brian & Roger love to perform with Adam. It has helped them continue what they love to do
He has breathed new life into these iconic songs and introduced them to a whole new generation- luv u Adam💕💕
Never believed this, but Adam is a great contribution to Queen. I am sure Freddy would have had love and respect for him. He is such a great musician.
Adam Lambert will always be one of the finest entertainers in show business!!
+Nicole Long And vocalists!
I would put him alongside Freddie for sure.
+jinga roblox Lambert alongside Freddie? No chance.
+Lee Anastassi some members of Queen have already stated that Lambert is better than Freddie was.
😂😂😂😂
AMAZING performance! What a voice, and Roger and Brian clearly still got it!
Brian and Roger knew what they were doing when they chose Adam. They would never tarnish Freddie's legacy with an imitator. Instead, they picked someone who honors Freddie's' vision for the band.
"When the whole point of Queen was to be original."

"A concert is not a live rendition of our album. It's a theatrical event."

slynnc kitty Well said 👊🏻
👏👏👏 Adam is the Right choise.
Beautifully said
Adam is an amazing performer and he has everything to be an artist. Don't need comparisons!!
I'm finally seeing queen this summer and I'm so excited! Adam brings his own unique talent and vocal range to these already classic songs makes me smile. They bring in fans old and new, and Freddie is smiling from heaven that the legacy of Queen is still alive and well
I’m going to queen on tour in July
Omg same in July !!!!
I'll be going in July and August. I can't wait 💜
I'm going in July too!!
I always knew Adam Lambert would go far! I remember throwing my shoe at the television when he didn't win American Idol. I was so upset because I knew he was a champ. Just love him. So happy for him.
That he didn't win crushed my soul. But just look at him now!
Adam didn't win because Queen wants him
I think it’s better that he doesn’t sound like Freddie. No one could ever replace Freddie Mercury. He has some of the stage presence and the charisma, that’s enough.
Google Marc Martel!
@@rachelaubie4818 I would legit, pay $800 to watch marc martel live. It's the closest we'd ever get to Freddie because he's an impersonator, he doesn't have a 10th of the talent or showmanship but I'm happy to just see that. He knows it too, he just loves queen so much and as Freddie said "I don't care what you do with my music, just have fun with it"
@@imnotataco the good news is you can see him for 50 $.
Stephanie Mac exactly
Rachel Aubie I like Marc Martell too. I would pay to see him perform.
We seem to live in a society nowadays where people can only praise someone by belittling anothers talent. Adams a wonderful vocalist. True fans know he isn’t Freddie, but respect his tribute none the less. The rest of the band liked him enough to pick him and that’s good enough for me.
@@CurtisCameron nope
Yes, I agree with you, Curtis Cameron. After Freddie Mercury's death in 1991, QUEEN members and Management Team and Freddie Mercury's Phoenix Trust Fund Team chose Paul Rodgers as frontman from 2004 to 2008 and Adam Lambert from 2011 to present. It's embarrassing how much hateful epithets are labeled on Adam Lambert on this almost 10year old promotion video of QUEEN and Adam Lambert's 2015-16 successful UK and European Concerts Tour released by Queen Official. Jealousy is one of human intrinsic emotions how anyone handle such separates who's decent and who's not.
@@DoloresWeatherspoon lol 🤡
@@conceicaopinto1296what's the matter? This is UA-cam comment section, a free public forum for discourse.
That was so good it bought tears to my eyes. Freddie would be looking down with a huge smile. Well done that was stunning.
As a life-long Queen fan (almost 50 years), I've warmed up to Adam. His vocal skills are amazing, I must say. Kudos!♥️
Great performance - Lambert's voice superb - as May said - Freddie would be jealous of Lambert's range and would love him, too - can't get all the angst here - Freddie's dead - long live Lambert - bringing this great music back to life again - lovin' it -
May presumes, but we don't know what freddie would have thought.
toxboxic Knows better than you would, tox
toxboxic When you play all the years with Freddie I think they know's him more than you my dear, they knows Freddie like a brothers so they know Freddie will like Adam jeez do you think we need to verify that with Freddie...its to late so please wake up and lets the Best Group play there succes they have to make the Homage to Freddie...I love Adam Lambert he his amazing performer and singer...so its time to accept Freddie's dead but we always love him for ever...thats it.
I saw the Rhapsody Tour in 2019 in Phoenix. Adam was amazing 👏 Brian and Roger still rocking..Freddie is proud
This is so epic. I get hysterical just thinking about the fact I have seen these great legends play in their late 60s. Sadly never got to see Freddie.
I came here after saw how Adam Lambert absolutely nailed and killed this song in Argentina!
WOW a true powerhouse :O
Freddie is smiling big time for this young man bc I am blown away!
tleesmith781 he's doing it right making it his own without damaging the legacy of Freddie
@@pamodhudawatta4922 absolutely. It's the right way and the most difficult one, it's easy going for copying and imitating... It's extremely difficult to make it your own and add new fresh flavours, which he does and he's fantastic.
peter pan go search Marc Martel. You’ll lose your mind if you thought this was good.
Here we go again, Marc Martel aaaalll over again ..smh
@@BestBeatsDailyUS why is it when people compliment Adam marc martel lovers always butting in...like people are allowed to like Adam more. We like originality and individuality not impersonators ...
What a thrill that must have been for Adam in that moment! If someone told him , in a year or so you’ll be singing w/Queen, I wonder what he would’ve thought! Great performance!
he's been Queen's frontman for a 9 years now
Adam is off the hook fabulous.
Freddie would be so proud!!
blastphmamous sinner
+Alex Dunn that feelts themself guilty for watching non pure things
Freddie was gay too, so umm why are you on a Queen video period?
@Samuel Taylor - Judgemental & hurtful sinner!
You've got to be kidding! Do you live in this century or belong to a cult? This is too insane & ridiculous for words.Why are you even here?
I saw Queen when I was a kid back in the 70’s. It’s easy to say Lambert is not Mercury. But Mercury was no Lambert either. As far as Queen goes, having seen them on stage with Freddie, seeing this with Adam gave me goosebumps. That kid is fucking great.

Merli Thomin how did he spit on roger and brian?
Merli Thomin oh
you obviously don’t know mr marc martel
Rachel Clayton - Marc Martel sounds JUST LIKE Freddie, which ISN'T what Brian and Roger want. that would be similar to hiring a replica/impersonator of Freddie, which, let's be real, is disrespectful. and Marc doesn't have the charisma & stage presence Adam has. it isn't just about the voice, especially when you have to engage thousands of ppl at concert venues.
Adam is never going to replace Freddie he is simply honoring his awesomeness by singing his song.
that was why he came in second place! he can be free as an international superstar!! been a fan of queen for decades..so glad it is still around giving awesome performances!
The true lovers of Queen, know that this is an awesome collaboration . congrats to Adam for his decency
@@evaglykou6978 nope
🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥 thank you to our gift from universe. Freddie+Queen birthed these songs and Adam+Queen are keeping it alive and how ? Wow-o-wow 🙌🙏👏
Though he is not Freddie (no one will EVER be Freddie!!!!!), Adam is 100% the best choice they could have made to perform with them. He can actually sing, he has great range, he is theatrical and he doesn't try to mimic Freddie; he sings the songs well enough, but in his own way which is still suited to Queen.
+Lemon Drops late reply, but idk, george michael's tribute was top notch.
+giggleweed From the Tribute concert? I have that on DVD; all the performances are top notch and the artists chosen are well suited to their songs! Only thing wrong with that concert is that no one sang "Friends Will Be Friends" - which, considering the tribute material, would have been most fitting and very touching.
+Lemon Drops No one else will ever be Adam Lambert either...he is simply magnificent !!!!!
+Bdtty Bowles no adam is good but he sucks compared to greddy adam lambert
+Lemon Drops nobody could replace freddie. adam is good but they way he changes the songs he should just make a cover band.
I was never a huge Queen fan.. liked their tunes.. i was a Southern Rock N Roller.. Really learned a lot about Freddie & Queen watching the movie Bohemian Rhapsody.. Watched American Idol when Lambert was on it..
With that said.. i think Freddie would smile & give a thumbs up to Adam being on stage w/ Queen.. He has his own vocal style .. he isn't trying to replace Freddie.. simply honor his legacy.. HUGE props to him.. He does an EXCELLENT job!!
There are those that will NEVER accept Adam in this role.. if so.. dont watch.. just listen to your original Queen albums.. see how easy that lil fix was 😊
Adam is the man. Nobody is Freddie of course, but boy oh boy can that kid sing and hit those notes and then take them into the stratosphere. Phenomenal.
No fancy words needed, Adam Lambert is outstanding, singing and stage presence, Freddie Mercury would be a fan, I certainly am from the first time I saw him and I’m a straight white 68 year old lady, he quite simply spreads magic on stage.
Imagine starting off on a TV singing show, and becoming the missing void from a band who arguably had the greatest frontman in rock and roll history.
Imagine auditioning for that show with a song from that band and then becoming their frontman
You can’t tell he sounds like a hack until he sadly attempts Freddie’s work with his sellout band.
@ Rino Zisa - It was great and Adam is so deserving of it.
@@bartilliak If you hate Adam then you ain't a real Queen fan. Freddie said himself that "the show must go on." He would not want the spirit and music of Queen to die with him.
@@bartilliak But hes not AtTeMpTiNg FrEdDiEs WoRk!
Adam is absolutely insane. The greatest voice of his generation and the only one worthy of stepping in for Freddie
adam sounds amazing what a treat for the audience flawless performance.
Applause. Not Freddie, but Lambert is good in his own right. I love how engaged the audience is with Queen.
@ElectricalFusionRoblox I suggest a lot more research on your part.
How can you not like this hes bloody good ok hes not Freddie but not trying to be ,,, keeping Queen alive , ,, love him 🥰🥳🥳🥳

Correct, Adam Lambert is not Freddie Mercury, but he's a helluva singer, and it's great to hear and see the songs of Queen being performed live again....rock on!
His voice pierce through the horrible echo in the hall and still shine like a diamond , pretty amazing
Your comment made me think of an old video (2010) of Adam Lambert exercising on a stationary bike huffing and puffing while singing "shine like a diamond 💎.
Adam is awesome and underrated, HE ROCKS!! Let’s give him some love
Wow! Adam Lambert's vocals are insane!!
Brian May's face when he plays beside Adam is everything. The guys seems to be enjoying this new era a lot
Forever Queen
I recently attended an Adam Lambert/Queen concert at the Hollywood bowl. Yes, nobody will EVER replace Freddy Mercury, but it was refreshing to see that Adam has brought new life to Queen and that Queen lives on because of him. May we be thankful that this pairing continues to keep Queen and their music alive.
Thankful? Absolutely not. and its *Freddie by the way
Brilliant! Electrifying! Contagious! Queen + Adam Lambert are truly a match made in heaven.
How long have you been a fan of Adam lambert
What a show!!! Adam Lambert- the best "gift" for Queen. He is different from Freddie but the same talent and spirit . FABOULESS.
I'm sure he is "amazing" with that voice
Thank you for choosing Adam, Mind blowing
