Adam rocked it!

Adam Lambert z lebrity, not fit to tie the laces of freddies ballet shoes or polish Paul rodgers cowboy boots.

Very enlightening... thanks for posting that twice.

I am listening to the album right now. It is not my piece of cake, and I do listen to a lot of pop music, including new releases I hear every single day on BBC Radio One.
Anyway, he does have a great voice and I hope for the very best on his collaboration with B+R.

"piece of cake" means a task that is not difficult to carry out...think you confused your "english metaphors" a little ...maybe you were looking for the other similar one "my cup of tea"

Shortly before this thread was made, david (galashiels) made a thread suggesting that there be a new forum specifically for Queen+Adam Lambert related topics. That's actually a good idea.

Also, brenski, nice

I downloaded (illegally - what the hell!) his two albums and promptly deleted them.
What the hell Brian & Roger see in him is beyond me.

It's not stopping me going to one of the shows though and
he 'might' surprise us all and be quite good.

Got to give him a decent chance to prove himself crap or otherwise and besides, wouldn't it be nice if Brian & Roger played a load of songs they didn't play with Paul Rodgers?
I'd put up with AL just to hear non 'greatest hits' songs, especially if they do a load of songs from the first 3 albums!

You're right! Thanks for the help :)

the whole AL thing is easy to work out (btw - i'm posting this in a couple of other threads to see if it can stimulate real discussion)

brian & roger are being nothing more than calculating. AL's star is on the ascendancy, so they've hitched a ride to try and get some "sales" in america.
problem is, they had a "sales" share in the UK already, and this whole "project" will doom their UK reputation beyond repair.

I can see a bad day coming for BM & RT when AL (the manufactured pop star) decides that they are doing "his" career and reputaiton harm by association....that day AL will ditch Queen and the dignity legacy and reputation of a once-great band will once and for all be damaged, dumped on and destroyed beyond recognition....serves them right

Hey guys, there are plenty of people who are fans of Queen, adore Freddie Mercury, and are also fans of Adam Lambert. (We are Queenberts...just a little levity !) Adam is doing a few gigs with Brian and Roger, it's not earth-shattering. For people who have never heard Adam sing live, remember this: Hot Space. Remember how different Staying Power was at Milton Keynes vs. the recording? I like both versions but I think most people would agree that live is completely different, and much better. Same is true for Adam.

Freddie was a lover, not a hater. Peace : )

melina67: Couldn't agree more. I'm not able to go to the London shows but I really hope AL works out - I was not a fan of Q+PR (nobody but Freddie!) but...if BM and RT want to perform I'd choose AL over PR because his voice is closer to Fred's in range and tone without being a tribute act.
And before someone takes a swipe at me because I post rarely 1) Someone has to listen (read) or there is no point talking (writing) - I do my fair share of listening to others on this great forum
2) I've been a Queen fan since before many here were even born and even had the great pleasure of seeing their Majesties play at Wembley in 1986 - I've earned the right to hold my opinion; just like you have!
Hope they play some of the less often/never performed stuff - Dragon Attack / Machines (or 'Back To Humans') / Flash / The Show Must Go On. A Live double CD of the shows would be a pre-order item for me!

I wouldn't call The Show Must Go On 'less performed' at all. Since they played it with AL at that award thing, I don't see why they wouldn't this time. We'll have to wait and see.
