While using my free time to read and watch a bit about my old love Queen on the net, I found something interesting on Queen Official/youtube.
It’s an interview with Adam Lambert on „Lorraine“ (ITV-UK) from last week. Since it seemed to be mostly about his collaboration with Queen, I clicked on it. After watching, I really think Brian and Roger made a good choice, when they chose Adam as their lead singer back in 2012. (And I was very reluctant, if I remember it correctly.)
In this Interview AL comes across very likable and reasonable. In the beginning he answers a lot of questions about his collaboration with Brian and Roger. It was nice to hear, how much respect he had especially in the beginning, when they did their first gigs. Alas, that would be natural, me thinks. ;)
Unfortunately he wasn’t asked about the upcoming gigs in Europe, but otherwise the interview was interesting to watch. The sometimes „too-much-over-the-top-guy“ seems to be a nice guy. Somehow that reminds me of good old Freddie: the guy on stage was a different persona from that behind the scene...

Glad you spotted the difference between someone who has to win over 20,000 and the person behind the stage image. It just amazes me that the same few people on here can't see that.
Yeah, actually, I know, that a stage persona is most of the time different from the real person. As I said, just look at Freddie as an example for that.
I guess my problem with Adam in the beginning was his image. And I watched interviews with him in 2011 (?) and he looked the same as on stage. He never came over as a natural person (at least to me, who didn’t dig deeper).
Nevertheless I went to see Brian and Roger play with him in 2015 and I thought the show (and Adam) was great. No objections there. This new interview shows clearly the person behind the stage persona, without costumes and make-up. I liked it.
I like seeing Adam in interview almost as much as watching him perform, he has a very warm, likeable personality. He must be a dream for an interviewer, he just goes with the flow and he's pretty open as well.
O.K.
It wasn’t my intention to start an AL praise and adoration thread. lol
The guy is talented and nice, IMO. He got lucky, when he got the Queen-gig. (I‘m not speaking about his own career, which he surely seems to have.)
And for those Queenies, who don’t know that much about the Adam behind the stage persona, this interview could be interesting. I guess the Glamberts don’t find it that new.
Difference between Freddie and adam is that Mercury created timeless and the other is just a puppet sing thoose songs. Nevermind he is likeable and can also be that. Shit thread

Sorry, that the thread isn’t to your taste. Not.
Just create your own then.
I still can’t believe that the Adam we see today is the same guy who was singing at his high school graduation at age 18:

I will but do but dont stress us other Queen fans about this adam. Create adamzone.com or something
There is a reason, I posted in this + Adam Lambert section of this forum, you know? Don’t read here, if you’re not interested. It’s that easy, buddy.... ;)
F u c k off with your adam section on queenzone.com too.
A Glambert telling a Queen fan not to read it if not interested. On a Queen board. :-/.
It's really easy to post on AL boards too. Of course on one board called Adamtopia, one has to be a fan of Adam's.
What next? Posts here about who is walking AL's dog to be posted here? Or what Twitter and Instagram posts AL clicks like on?
Guys, if you can‘t stay on topic, then we should leave it.
And it bothers me, that it seems not possible in this forum to discuss QAL (or an interview, that is about QAL) without fans either starting a love-feast about AL or fans hating on him and everyone, who can enjoy QAL.
Stay on topic, play fair and we can discuss different opinions. In a mannered way.
Don’t answer, if you’re not interested.
Find something you like to talk about in another thread.
It’s a hard life, I know.
Cheers.
