Wrong ! Adam is an imitator, he wore the crown like Freddie and came on stage at the recent Bafta awards wearing the flag wrapped around him like Freddie used to, plus he wears black finger nails.....
Lambert is a fake and a total embarrassment for the serious rock fan. More and more people are slating him now and rightly so.

He wears a crown on stage?! Yikes. No, Adam, just stop.
Honestly I can't decide whether Brian is doing this to line his pockets or because he misses playing live.

Well, if Lambert is not an imitator, as Brian has said, as others have already said, he should stop IMMITATING Freddie...... perhaps, Brian doesn't know the meaning of the word....'imitator?'
For Lambert to do the things Freddie used to, on stage......is, 'imitating Freddie.'

e-man
the fact that brian feels he has to emphasize this in EVERY interview show only one thing; he knows very well lambert is nothing more than an immitator.

Adam isn't the least an imitator and anyone who goes to a show or knows anything about the guy prior to teaming up with Bri & Roger would know that.

Still flogging this dead horse? Adam has always had Black nails, nothing to do with copying Freddie and he's far from the only one to ever wear them. Freddie only did one hand anyway. You can clearly see here he had black nails on American Idol - https://www.rollingstone.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/06/rs-193474-85473242-copy.jpg?crop=900:600&width=440
And what are you on about at the Bafta's, they didn't appear there? Did they by any chance show a clip from Rock in Rio because that's the only time I've ever seen Adam with a flag just briefly at the beginning?

Yeah he sings songs, looks at Brian May and Roger Taylor so he clearly is an imitator!
Back in the real world he is the front man vocalist in a band like any other in that position. As for this crap about the crown. On the Magic Tour the crown was part of a big set piece at the end of the last song at the end of the set. Freddie waked out like a newly crowned monarch. Yes it was done with humour but there was also a clear statement in it too.
The thing that Lambert wares is nothing like as regal or big as what Freddie had, it's obvious to all who are there that it's a joke and he is laughing at himself as much as anything and it doesn't have the sense of over the topness that Freddie brought..

Jesus, these AL-apologists are every bit as bad as the AL-haters...
To anyone able to look at this with the least bit of objectivity, it's perfectly obvious that AL is consciously imitating Freddie Mercury in a *lot* of ways. Yes, he is also adding things of his own and he's leaving out certain other things that are typically Freddie, but that doesn't change anything.
Now, as far as I'm aware it's not a crime to imitate Freddie Mercury. I haven't spoken to the pope recently, but I've consulted several lesser theologians and they assure me that it's not, in itself, a sin either. Nor, I would like to add, is it inherently offensive.
So why, WHY are you people so incredibly uptight about admitting it? I'm fairly sure that, the AL-groupies like SweetCaroline aside, you all realize on at least some level that AL is imitating Freddie. So? If you enjoy the show, does admitting he's imitating Freddie detract from that in any way? I don't see why it should.
Lying about it, gaslighting the world, like Brian May has been doing with seemingly every insignificant detail of Queen's history these last few years, THAT detracts from the objective qualities of the shows. THAT detracts from the reputation of Queen, not that they're touring with a singer they found in a talent show.
There is something deeply, darkly broken with the band Queen. It is *not* Adam Lambert leading the band, it is not the movie, but it is the campaign of dishonesty, whitewashing and revisionism engaged in by Brian May c.s. And backing up Brian May whenever he's engaged in throwing around his BS is not helping, it's simply misplaced loyalty helping to tarnish a hard-earned (by Brian May as much as the other guys) reputation by latter-day foolishness.

I don't feel the need to, and , I'm not apologising for anything Adam Lambert does. I'm certainly not a Lambert fan, what I've heard of his songs I've thought them to be ok I've certainly not disliked them but I haven't felt a need to go and buy any of his albums.
I just don't see him as a Freddie imitator any more than some in the early days drew a parallel between Freddie and Mick Jagger in the 70's. I think the band, including Lambert, have crafted something of a visual connection between their current shows and the Queen of old.
I enjoyed Q+PR but to me it was a far less Queen like experience although visually Rodgers (sometimes) sleeveless shirts and jeans (either blue or white) looked to me far closer to early 80's Freddie or Live Aid Freddie than Lambert ever has. In the same way a leather clad Freddie didnt look a million miles away from Rob Halford in some ways. I think it's purely what people choose to see ot imagine.

Has it occurred to you that maybe, just maybe, it's not always "purely what people choose to see to imagine", but sometimes also what they choose NOT to see or to imagine?

I'm with Vocal Harmony on this, I really don't see any connection at all between what Adam does on stage and what Freddie did. After watching loads of video's and seeing them live his personality is a million miles from Freddie's, there's not a single thing similar in the way they act or talk to me.
Incidentally I wouldn't care if he were copying him if that's what he wanted to do.

Absolutely but that has to work both ways.
The fact Adam doent sound like Freddie doesn't dress like him apart from a much smaller crown and doesn't move like him all ( in my mind) go against him being an imitator
Marc Martel by the very nature of his vocal performance is a pure imitator.
I guess either of us or anyone else could subtract or add to either or any singer to prove the point for or against depending where we ( someone) stand.
