NO One to punish as it is a best of of Queen videos and not a ladyboy trying to ridicule Queen songs with his "look at me I am guay " attitude. As you all hate Freddie as the ladyboy is depending his career on him I understand your hate.
Lamebird is just a talentfree goatboy thats all he is this lame fucker and I will forever hate him for making my once fave band a joke

Look People, I don't hate Freddie. That is ridiculous and obviously your English comprehension is not up to snuff. I think Freddie was amazing, multitalented, unique and the list goes on and on. However, I think too many people think he was Queen. There were 3 other talented people. Say Smile never made it w/o Freddie, but would Freddie have made it w/o them? It was a unique jelling of 4 amazing musicians and maybe that is the reason it worked. It took all 4 of them. You folks never give Brian or Roger any credit. It is like he was the backup for Freddie. That is what bugs me. Freddie can't rise up and sing with them anymore, so I am happy to listen to Adam sing Queen. I get a kick out of watching Brian and Roger. They are unbelievable at their age. And I most prefer Adam's kind of voice, always have. I don't like the deep, raspy typical rock voice. Never really did, but that should be OK, I love classical voices and more pure voices. I love operatic voices like Bruce Dickinson. His voice can soar and it is extremely good. Adam's voice is similar to my kind of voice and he changes the sound of the Queen catalog, but not much. They are still Queen. He doesn't screw around with the songs, he adds a few riffs here and there, but he sings them pretty much the same. I bet if you played a person off the streets one of the QAL songs, they might not know that it wasn't Freddie, that is how little he changes them up. I really bet that would be the case on some of them. Most people are not so attuned to every note as we are. You can pick out Freddie, I can pick out Adam, but I am not sure about Mr Joe Public. They would hear Queen music and assume. I don't think it is the different for anyone but people on here.

I really am not interested much in back history. I like what I like. I don't know much about my other fav bands, but I either like them or I don't. It is enough for me to just enjoy them. I know more about Adam because he is the most recent and I followed him on Idol and the internet makes learning about someone much easier. If there had been internet back then, I would know more about Queen. Of that I am positive. Thanks for the history lesson.

No one hates Freddie! That is something conjured up in weak minds who seem to worry that the guy who died prematurely over 20 years ago is in danger of losing his legacy because someone new is touring in his place, which is ridiculous. Freddie’s legacy is more than secure and no one can change that so YOU need to stop being so insecure!

I thought that was a fabulous video. Freddie was out there and unapologetic and the whole band embraced the craziness. Their videos are iconic because they are different. They are theatrical. They just don't stand there and sing as that is boring and they were anything but boring. Why you are offended and call QAL theatrical,as if it is something awful, is another puzzler for me. They always have been theatrical. I guess just Freddie can be like that, right. Adam does the threatrics in a different way, but there still is that zany quality which makes Queen, Queen. You don't like some of the things he says or does, but if Freddie were here today who knows how he would express his sexuality. You might be surprised with what came out of his mouth. If Freddie can't be here to sing, I still want to see QAL and hear their music. I think Adam sings extremely well and respects the integrity of the music and brings that zany quality. Brian and Roger get to still enjoy what they love best and seem to be having a ball, so if I am the "evil one" for applauding them, so be it. You can stay home and watch your videos. To each his own.

Adam doesn't ridicule Queen whatever you like to think, he loves them and Freddie, one of the comments he gets most from Queen fans outside of this forum is how respectful he is so that is just in your mind. No one else thinks Queen is a joke with him either, he's fun and his personality is to generally not take things very serious, except the music which he does take serious despite what you choose to imagine.

you have a really disturbed view of the word "fun"

Rockchic You once said people laugh at Lambert because he looks stupid the way he dresses up.
I understand "Runner" when he says he hates Lambert for turning Queen into a joke because they are a massive embarrassment now. Brian & Roger are past caring about the band now and are just out for the money before they die.

They aren't in the least embarrassing, surely all the comments and reviews tell you that, where have you seen anything aside from a couple of people on here saying that? And you have clearly taken my words out of context, nowhere have I said they laugh at him because he looks stupid, I said he makes people laugh because he's fun and doesn't mind sending himself up about what he wears. The headline of this review sums the show and what people feel about it up - Lambert is utterly respectful of Freddie Mercury's position in the eyes of fans, and chooses to have fun with his role rather than try to imitate the late singer.

He's well aware you can't be a replacement for Freddie so he does things his own way and that and the fact he is so respectful means people don't compare they just take it for what it is. Nowhere is any of that an embarrassment.

It’s more than obvious that these Adam critics need to go to a live QAL show in order to feel the joy and energy these 6 talented guys generate together over two and a half hours. The spirit of Freddie as well as Freddie himself is present in the music as well as the actual images projected.

Get a life you guys! Queen’s legacy is in good and capable hands!

Anyone is getting into Queens nest and now you say 6 guys on stage! Sound like a right freak circus to me.
Queen are not what direction Lambert is leading them into.
They have been mislead by him and my god Roger would not have done this 35 years ago if the same situation had occurred.
Brian on the other hand is very naive.

6 guys on stage where 3 are completely unknown and not even in the spotlight. The is the Maylor Ego Show. The Movie will be the same. Bigging their ego up.
