Yet when they play songs in the same way they did 30 years ago, people complain because they're not trying anything new.
There's just no pleasing some people.

And some people are easily pleased.
I'm not "complaining" that they've changed it, I'm commenting that it's rather crappy.

JUST COMPARING FOR MYSELF SINCE I'VE NEVER HEARD THE ORIGINAL. Adam's version is every bit as lovely as Freddie's.

Interesting how a thread *against* the constant selling of Adam Lambert can end up being full of constant selling of Adam Lambert. I literally cringe watching Adam's version.

I didn't out it to be a "constant selling" thread. But I just don't get it. And neither do you.

I did love Adam doing Save Me....nice how they changed the arrangement just a tad.........
If you want to see/hear a really good version, check out "Queen Rock Montreal"........can't beat that one!
(just heard Adam's got a new record deal....single in April, album in the summer....)

Well, since this is the "Constant Selling" thread, I must keep up my job of constant selling.
FINALLY! Intergalactic Sonic Boom Adam Lambert has announced his new record label (Warner Bros.) and his new album, which will be released “early summer.” As expected, he’s working again with Swedish mega-producer Max Martin, but unlike Adam’s debut album, Martin will have a hand in the entire production, as well as producer Shellback, who may or may not be a giant sea tortoise, I’m not sure.
Adam talks to Billboard about the project. Here are some choice quotes:
What was important to you in a new deal?
Adam Lambert: Finding a home that was the right fit. As you know, leaving RCA was really due to creative differences. They are great people over there. I have a really nice relationship, but it didn’t feel like we wanted the same things with this next chapter, and so I chose to part ways with them.
How did you, Max and Shellback reconnect?
Lambert: I was working on demos and scheduled a meeting with them. They’re two of my favorite producers and at the very top of their game. I love everything they do, and was really excited to sit back down with them after having worked on For Your Entertainment. It was great to reminisce and laugh. It was an easy, humble, casual vibe, and when you’re in the studio, that’s what you want. I played them a song and we got very excited. They heard my personal growth, and lyrically, the things that I was trying to say. Long story short, they offered me a deal to be executive producers of this album, and that felt like a big moment.
It’s been six years since America first saw you on Idol, what have you learned about the music business in that time?
Lambert: When you come into this quickly with the trajectory out of American Idol, it’s really easy to see the business like a fan would: you don’t see the ins and outs of it. And you learn once you are in it. With Trespassing, I learned a lot about radio. I learned a lot about my fans through the years — the big picture of it and how you have to listen to them. Being on stage with Queen and remembering the most important things about music and performance are the most timeless things: it transcends trend and popularity contests. It is more about truth, emotion, honesty and the connection with the audience, the music and the moment. [The Queen tour] has been good for me on a confidence level. It’s made me feel like I’m on the right path, and humbled at the same time. I am stepping into a position that used to be occupied by the greatest frontman of all time. Trying to live to that legacy has been challenging and rewarding.
There’s lots more at the link, including that the first single will be out in April. So … let the countdown begin, and we’ll ride this glitter rocket together!

Fascinating.
King Of Rhye: one could argue that Hammersmith 1979 is the best version on video. Though Brian kinda flubs the solo...

Lambert - Fat Bottomed Girls in London (Day 1) 2015-01-17
?
The Daily Record said today that Queen’s show “was really special, a proper spectacular in every sense of the word and it was all down to one man. Adam Lambert.”
“If he’d just tried to do a Freddie impersonation it would have been awful but the American singer was firmly his own man, with a charisma and star quality that couldn’t be denied. Lambert stole the show, helped in no small part by that incredible voice. Make no mistake, technically speaking alone, this guy leaves pretty much everyone in the dust. Seriously. He’s that good.”

You admittedly don't even know the songs Queen released as singles, and you're trying to convince people of how worthy Adam Lambert is of standing in Freddie Mercury's shoes ?
Yeah. Clearly you don't know the first thing about Queen. But good job on masking your Glambertness for this long.
You can stop trolling Queen forums now.
