Lambert and Killer Gay

Rick true... this is just catastrophe ;///
@splicksplack - ok I'm really sorry, it was not good from me.
But this style is awful it is as I wrote above. He brings a style reminiscent of Lady Gaga on Queen stage... ;/[/QUOTE]

I agree. Killer Queen was a shocking embarrassment.

Tragic. Queen Extravaganza is better than Queen + Adam Lammbert. What the hell are Brian and Roger thinking? Paul Rodgers was so much better. Personally, I would like to see either Matt Bellamy, Justin Hawkins or Jeff Scott Soto front Queen shows.

Liberace, Elton, George Michael and Freddie would say this is too gay. Ffs, Brian and Roger, there are limits.

I thought it was only slightly too much. I think he was trying to be funny - like a TV variety show sketch ... because of the lyrics of Killer Queen. Also, I think he was trying to entertain the Adam fans. His poor fans have to sit (or stand) through an entire concert of Queen music. There is not one Adam song for them to look forward to. And I'm sure Brian could do his magic on some of Adam's hits. So ...

I guess the best thing he could do at this point (my expert advice - ha) is try to interpret the Killer Queen song more based on the music instead of the lyrics. I think he is over-thinking the lyrics and that is distracting from the melody.

He is chanelling a bit of Army of Lovers attitude here.
Too gay is what i thought too. On the other hand during the iHeartRadio concert he was not camp at all.
I think he is experimenting and that is good even if sometimes crosses the line of "acceptable taste" ( even if there is such a thing)

On the other hand Mercury did that too but in a more homoerotic less camp sort of way. For example ... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9E-WasNzVpI[/QUOTE]

Exactly. We must not forget he is still a young performer and he is still learning. It must be a very difficult role to tackle. On one hand, he entered a certain format of a super established band, but on the other hand, it is a bit of a new band, isn't it? And he seems to get this idea, not simply singing the songs and acting as a singer "for hire", but actually trying to introduce something new to the whole idea of "Queen". I think it should be treated as a credit, because he is trying to be a little creative in a situation (a tour like this) which could dampen any creativity whatsoever. So, I wouldn't judge him just based on this on this particular song performance. At the same time we get really good renditions of many other songs (which many other performers could only envy; see the FM tribute concert) and occasional moments of brilliance (Love Kills). The fact it gets so much attention is also priceless, as this is one of the things showbiz is about. Do not forget, it's not 1975 anymore, it's 2014 and it seems they are not only trying to appeal to "old fans", but also to new fan base, which must be vast, considering big sales of albums like "Absolute Greatest" or ongoing referencing by performers like Muse, Foo Fighters or [sic!] Lady GaGa and Katy Perry. Yes, it was camp as hell, but frankly I don't know how I'd react to some Freddie moments if I was a fan in the time when he was the main culprit.

Please omit this embarrassment from the rest of tour. I mean specifically the couch

That clown Justin Hawkins?! Are you kidding? Matt Bellamy? Oh yes, if he only wanted to. Jeff Scott Soto? Forget it. Queen needs someone with some sort of a name.

Ok to anyone thinking negative comments on here are bordering on homphobic...my gay best friend said this video is embarrassing. This is just extra gay for the sake of it. It's not a statement or risque or revolutionary. It is a bad, bad choice.

Haha! Haven't checked in here for a long time, but I see little has changed.

I think Adam's voice sounds great with Queen this time out. The young lad is gettin' the hang of it, and he, Brian and Roger are having a helluva glorious time out there, and THAT'S the important thing. I love to see them enjoying themselves and making people happy.........except for you people, and nothing short of Freddie being raised from the dead would do it for you, but I'm afraid that hell might just freeze over first so I guess you-all are going to have a loooong wait.

There is one thing...he admitted only knews the hits!!!!
I mean, when I was at his age I know all the Queen songs, Led Zep, etc...

Limits to gay performance styles in the context of Queen. This place is great.

Even Freddie wasn't that gay. And the annoying vibrato still lives on.

Its funny how everybody forgets all those ridiculous, gay and tasteless things Freddie did in the 70s...

Anyway...

The only thing I find really funny is Adam wearing a crown, he looks like Jughead from all those Archie comics, lol
