jeffbiano : you shut the fuck up, i have an opinion just like anyone on here, just that this time many on this thread agree with me that Lamberts performance on the xfactor was shit.
Queen should take a leaf out of Abba's book and not get so desperate with taking anyone on board as a lead singer, i now rest my case since everyone has seen that Queen
is a shell of the magnificent group that they were with Freddie.
Just give up now as a bad job boys.
Freddie made Queen and Freddie ended Queen = full circle.
i agree Dermot o'leary was very rude to ignore Roger after briefly speaking to Brian & Lambert.
i really felt for him. What a tosser Dermot is.

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

Let's suppose that Freddie didn't die and Queen broke up in 1993, and decided to reunite in 2014. They're all 20 years older now. I bet quite a few of the same people would be saying "I saw some youtube videos, and Freddie doesn't move quite as quickly and vocally he doesn't seem to have the goods anymore. This isn't the Queen I remember. I'm not going."
Therefore one must wonder how much this actually has to do with Adam Lambert. After all, the same people were complaining about Paul Rodgers too, and had a whole other list of excuses...
Once again, it seems that some people will only be happy if a resurrection is performed, because otherwise they're going to complain no matter who is singing, how they sing, how they look, or how they perform.

Again, excellent post..... ^^^^^^
Some people will moan whatever Brian and Roger do. People want to hear the music, why shouldn't they play?
It's obviously not for the money, it's because they want to play the music to as many people as possible. If you don't like it, don't buy the concert tickets, CDs etc....
We all know who's going moan on here, they've moaned about the same thing time and time again. Ok, we get it. No one minds constructive criticism, but when it's the same bullshit all the time with no real or sensible argument, it gets very boring and tedious

Freddie always stated he would never perform in old age as it would look ridiculous, and i guess he is spot on!
Sometimes dignity must be executed.
"Its better to burn out than to fade away"!
Adam has got one of those west end musical voices and i could see him working along Michael Ball
but slumming it with the Queen back catalogue which he certainly can not do justice too, is pushing the boat out a little.
May & Taylor look knackered.
i use the Queenzone because contrary to what many think this site is also about Freddie Mercury and more so than Adam Lambert,
just remember none of this would have happened if Freddie never got Brian & Roger out of the pickle that was "Smile" and going nowhere.
Respect to king Mercury people!

^^^^ oh god, there really is no talking to you is there? You're rewriting history!!
Due to your stupidity I'm leaving this 'discussion '. You have your views, and are too arrogant and stupid to see the wider picture. Have fun......

Normally I don't respond to you because you're a complete idiot, but I will always correct factual inaccuracies on this forum.
While it may be true that teaming up with Freddie was the next step in world domination, it absolutely must NOT be discounted that the majority of the Queen sound already existed in Smile.
Compare those six Smile songs to the demos of Freddie's band from 1969. Any functioning set of ears can hear that his songs sucked. It wasn't until he started working with Brian and Roger that someone clicked in him. Relegating Brian and Roger to some kind of supporting position completely minimizes what they brought to the table, and in 1970, it was nearly everything. Even Roger says Freddie sounded like a powerful sheep at that point. And judging by the recordings available, that's just about all he had.

Music is magical. To see Roger Taylor looking so good and so fit, is just wonderful. Clearly they enjoy being in Queen. And Brian, you can see his hair is just back to being healthy again. The signs of a happy man.
My beloved band kicking 2015 ... it just don´t get any better than this. I´m going to enjoy this to the max, because after last years "Brian´s health scare" i won´t take any of these guys for granted anymore.
And Adam Lambert is doing a wondeful job with Queen music. He is a fantastc singer, and i´m glad he´s doing this with "our" boys.
If someone can share the HD file of this presenation i would really appreciate that. Thanks!

Only one problem with that argument, Wizard...............gerry wouldn't have heard those Smile songs............why would he bother, since there's no Freddie, it aint worth a damn.............(according to his way of thought, if you call it that)

Wow! They hired Santa Claus for the drums! I wonder what Roger is thinking about it...oh, wait...

There,s nothing wrong with Adam Lambert. Great voice and a lot better than Paul Rodgers. Better peformer also.

Roger and Brian are old(er)! 67 and 66, what do you expect? I saw them in Sydney this year and Brian was on fire as a guitarist, lucid, scarily fluent, as expressive as ever and lapping it all up. They both were two men enjoying playing the music that they were part of. Why rob them of this? How can anything they do without Freddie or Deacy sound the same? It can't and never will. Let's just enjoy the songs people, and leave the politics and hating aside.

if a band is still selling well and still performing live to decent size audiences then they haven't yet reached the "fading away" stage - the bands of that generation may be in their twilight, but due to missing many of them in my youth - id' now give a kidney (or two lol) to see Zep, Rush, Floyd (as is), Yes, eagles or the Who live...so while there's still the faintest glimmer of hope...long may they continue
for me? while the current lineup isn't my cup of tea and i certainly won't be going to see em live, i have to admit that on xfactor (despite oversinging in places) Lambert hit every single note of that song - which is something Freddie even struggled with live.
personally, I'd say Brian & Roger will know when it's time to hang up their touring gear for good...but they both know it ain't yet.
The lyrics of David Gates' "Guitar Man" should be Queen's benchmark....and while the last verse may be applicable in the non-too-distant future...it ain';t just yet.
