I disagree, I think it was OK, aside from the oversinging at the end. You want awful, go listen to the Kiev 2012 version.
Btw first time in years they ended STL without the new fast ending if I'm not wrong!

The band sounds amazing!
I dont know about you but I dont like that Neil's voice tends to be very high in the mix from time to time, I dont like how it sounds at all. It seems to be deliberated, as his voice was very high in the WATC version from the Summersonic Japan streaming.
Thanks God they cut the fast bit at the end, I dont like it!
EDIT: Thanks, someonewholovesadam! All the streams I got were low quality, this one is amazing!

Good performance, I must say!!! But I missed not hearing the fast part.............I love that arrangement! Maybe they cut it due to time constraints................
I thought it sounded like, well, a typical Q+AL rendition of STL............(except for the ending)

Also, if I'm not mistaken this is the second time a Spice Girls member performed with Queen onstage (first instance being Emma Bunton on the all-star finale at the Queen's Jubilee 2002)

Definitely, as it's for TV. I'm actually surprised they let it be even that long.

He really doesn't have the warmth and depth to his voice to do that song justice.

Just watched Queen & Adam on the xfactor and to be honest i can not believe this was the same band that done Live Aid in 1985!
May and Taylor looked old and Lamberts performance was rubbish and shabby he has no stage presence like Freddie used to have. i also found him boring with the personality of a brick.
I also want to point out that there Metro arena date in Newcastle still has not sold out and that is after 4 weeks of announcing it, as it was advertised on tv last night.
Queens Magic Tour sold out instantly.
Freddie Mercury made Queen who they were, exciting, dynamic and unbeatable, now Queen are weak, boring, and should call it a day. This is beyond a joke guys.

I know Mel C has also performed with Brian a coupel of times, but you're probably right if including Roger too.
The first time I'd seen them do Somebody to Love with the fast ending was on American Idol with the Queen Extravaganza - was that last year or 2012? Before that they always did the 'usual' ending?
The ending of STL was always one of my favourites parts of the old Queen live show - it really was one of Freddie's 'let rip' moments and a real tour de force (Montreal and MK Bowl just two examples we have in high quality). It's probably quite fitting that they changed it as no-one could hope to match Freddie on that particular section.

Why bother being on a Queen forum if you hate so much what they do? if all you are interested in is what they did 23 years+ ago, they you will never get anything you like again, so 23 years after the fact seems to me to be pointless to be joining in a forum, you might as well be commenting on a Doors forum.
I can understand people not liking Lamberts singing, but comments like 'no personality' are simply said for effect, they clearly have no merit or any kind of accurate observation as one thing he has in good supply is personality. and comments such as May and Taylor look old, .... eeerr well they are compared to 1995.... genius
However, taking soley on that performance, it was every bit as energetic as Freddie would have done, and the backing track was just as powerful as a 1982 performance would have been.
Personally I prefer Rodgers vocal to Lamberts, but there is no doubting he can hit the notes and perform the sounds in a way that match Queen's style

Sorry, it was dreadful.
Let's not forget, this was the band Freddie Mercury fronted, look what it descended into last night .
Just awful.

I'm afraid to watch this. Bad reviews here. Might cause nightmares?
