Let's put this in perspective. They let Freddie put "Delilah" on an album. Nothing is worse than that. Friends don't let friends put songs like Delilah on an album. Even Adam Lambert's occasional squealing is better than that.

It's just his style, get over it already.

I was surprised at how much Lambert's stage presence was not good. After FBG, to say "anyone have a fat bottom?" (or whatever he said) made me realize he did come from American Idol.
WWTLF was great, but he sing it like a musical, which to me is his niche. I don't think Lambert really is a rocker. His first album blew and his second sounds like a dance club. I remember when he sang WATC on AI with Queen and thought "wow, that's cool" but Lambert's longevity is suspect.
The set list was odd too. Start with SSOR? Really?!
I'm watching Queen+PR in Ukraine right now. No comparison. He's a much better frontman rather than Lambert. Plus a better singer.

Comparisons to Freddie are meaningless. He was an unknown, playing with other unknowns. What he was when he started out was not what the public heard when the band finally made it big.
Lambert is not new at this. He's been singing for a long time. For him to screw around the way he was at the gig was pretty inexcusable. Honest, the show was better than I thought it would be, but really I think a lot of that was down to Roger and Brian. When Adam concentrated on the music, his contribution was very good. He just needs to understand that he's there to serve the songs, and dick around a lot less.
I'll be interested to hear how the next shows go.[/QUOTE]
All valid points--Brian and Roger and Rufus made the gig fairly decent. Another point these are live shows and there will be mistakes..it happens..the beauty of live performance and I thought Brian and Roger both screwing up the lyrics was pretty funny :)

Just watched some videos of Q and AL in Moscow. I think A learns quickly. He is more the relaxed and sexy showman that i usually see on stage. He sounded really great on WWTLF again. I Really enjoyed his STL. sounded GREAT to me except that one "believe" part that he seems to go off key on. Did he lower his key to sound less shrill in this show?

Just heard Dragon Attack from Moscow, and he can't sing rock. He sings it from a showy, Broadway perspective, he has no heft of "oomph" in his voice. Lack of grit is great if you're in the cast of WWRY as that's not rock and roll. Playing big venues, that's a very bad thing as it makes you and the sound tiny.

Well, I only watched the first hour of the Kiev show and, bury me,I thought Adam's voice was no worse than Freddie's in sone of the shows of the 70s. This was one of his first shows with a LeGenD and I don't think he did bad at all. You know, if you don't want it, why tune in in the first place?

I can't see the point of purists putting down this performance. Being an absolute fan of Adam's voice and having the utmost respect of the legacy of Queen the combination is just winnig. And this is not for the long run because Adam has his own career to pursue.
The performance was great and as far as I was catching it Adam was putting his emotions behind the lyrics too. He is a performer with enormous courage as should when stepping to the stage with the maestros. Some pitch issues rose in some songs but the delivery was great. Concerning his vibrato... it's his thing and live with it. Hitting high notes was just brilliant. We cannot bring Freddie back and this is just fine way to see Brian and Roger in action.

Live in the same city Sauli is from but no!
I'm not sharing the same sexual preference as those
boys. I respect the musical talent. Just as
I respect Elton John's career and Freddie's.
Peace, bro.

I watched the Life Is Real on youtube and it struck me what a fantastic song it is. I love getting these revelations.
