Yeah Lambert is in the wrong musical category. Maybe he should go the Alfie Boe way and play variety at the London Palladium, that is more Lambert than standing
on Wembley Stadium looking like a complete nellie lol[/QUOTE]
What has Wembley Stadium got to do with anything?
Happystar When was the audience "just standing there?" I specifically saw headbangers but most of the audience was in awe and that's why they were still. From what I could see, everyone either had their hands up in the air, were filming with their phones or had a huge happy smile on their face. Revisionist history. LOL.
And BWBW - What makes you think "Adam tries too hard and you can tell he's trying too hard?" Just curious. Being an aficionado on Adam performances myself, I can correct your misinterpretation.
It's okay if you don't like him or his singing style but the audience clearly did!
Happystar The funny thing is ... Adam HAS carved a career out of singing the Queen back catalogue. And is really successful at it! Again, revisionist history on your part. I know you don't fancy him singing Queen songs, and many don't. But there are many who do and that is why they've had a really, really successful tour.

Are you implying AL is the reason for the tours being successful? Because I'm pretty sure Brian ad Roger and Queen's music have quite a bit to do with it.

Sorry to dampen your face cloth but Adam is not the reason why the tours have been successful.
Queen always sold out tour after tour even when Freddie was alive, tickets would get snapped up really fast, and Adam would not sell out if he was on his own or play the massive stadiums
he would only be capable of small arenas.[/QUOTE]
Sorry to switch your tap off, but the Lambert fronted band is selling more tickets per tour than they did with Paul Rodgers. This line up has also been more successful in the US than Queen were in 1982. They most certainly haven't always sold out

Q+PR had very little promotion compared to now. I remember I let my fan club membership laspe after a move cross country in '05, and I didn't even know they were tourng until many shows in. Plus word of mouth online wasn't as out there as it is today, Facebook, streams etc.
Honestly, I do prefer Q+AL than Q+AL. No cheesy gimmcks with Q+PR, and that's just one of the reasons I like Q+PR more.
QPR was a great pairing as it was believable even if some songs did not work at all. QAL is just a sad joke
Says you, but loads of people disagree and are loving it.

Queen + Paul Rodgers was pure rock n roll and not cheesy west end singing like Lambert does night after night.
May & Taylor were in good rock n roll company with Paul Rogers.[/QUOTE]
I think Q+PR was more rock, more than about the music than Q+AL has ever been. I loved what PR gave to the Queen songs, it put it into a whole new light for me, and imloved Brian and Roger playing on Free/Bad Company songs. It worked for me :).

It worked for me, no gimmicks, no cheese, legendary musicians coming together, it worked for me. I will always look at that time fondly. I just wish it lasted longer.

The sexy beast comments are in response to the nasty and bigoted remarks that Adam is fat and too camp or feminine and you know that by now, Icy!
BTW, I didn’t start a new thread about American Idol because Adam was mentioned in some articles. Because you bitched about it, it got moved into the Adam Lambert thread. American Idol isn’t just about him. The new show isn’t about him at all. Since you are so negative about him, why don’t you mind your own business and stop sticking your nose in whatever I do and say?[/QUOTE]
Your blame game that you do stinks, darling.
Adam has sung ALL of the songs well on the set lists of the over 200 QAL shows they have performed together in over 6 years but my personal favorites are Stone Cold Crazy and I Was Born To Love You!
