That performance shows that Lambert hasn't learned much in the decade or so since he appeared on Idol. He tries vocal gymnastics at every opportunity and doesn't service the song. It's as if he's still trying to impress Simon Cowell. [/QUOTE]
That can only come from someone, who has just watched this Heartbreak Hotel video and not much else. Because many fans, who actually attend these shows, say, that Lambert has toned it down a lot.
He was too much for me in the beginning. Believe me, it’s not the same now. Although he’s still Adam and does it occasionally.

No I don't believe you since this video is literally from the latest live performance, not something from years ago. Please don't make me suffer through another "many fans think" argument -- I am capable of making up my own mind.

Then don‘t believe me. Yes, he‘s doing it at the end of this performance.
You say, he „tries vocal gymnastics at every opportunity“. I say, that is wrong. That was long ago. And I‘m only answering your posts, because there are many fans on here, who have no idea, how much these Q+AL gigs have evolved over the last 6 years and would believe you. Not that it really matters, but I do think it‘s unfair to criticize AL for things, that aren‘t true any longer.
But keep your opinion, I have mine and we‘ve both made them clear. ;-)

"many fans on here" can make up their own minds by watching the video.

If you want to make a case otherwise, it would be interesting if you would start a thread on the QAL forum pointing out changes, good or bad, between early QAL performances and later ones. There is very little of interest on the QAL forum as Glamberts seem incapable of saying anything remotely interesting about music, so it would probably make for a good read and discussion.

You‘re right. That would be interesting to compare these performances. I‘m just not sure, if I‘m the right person to do this. Since AL is not my particular interest, I will have to search for good videos first. But at least I have ideas for which songs to look at. If I find the time, I might do this.

Awesome and so true. Utterly riduculous how this wanker destroys any song he is covering with his goat voice more over in this section this is about Queen not the annoying coverband QAL

The performances from 6 years ago were cringeworthy. Now they are beyond embarrassing. That us how far evolvement goes.

QAL firat night.. and they sing Heartbreak Hotel.. well done guys must be a highlight singing Vegas...

Nothing wrong with his choice.

They often played Jail House Rock ( another Elvis Cover) back in the 70/80's they even did a medley of old Rock N'Roll songs at most of the Magic Tour Gigs.

The is a great nod to Elvis and his Vegas shows, it's also a good move to play something any none Queen fans in the audience will be familiar with. . . .

There is also another connection in this, CLTCL was a kind of early Elvis pastiche, and they certainly borrowed that late 50's composition and open production sound. Brian, in the solo, was heavily influenced by Scotty Moore the guy who played on Heart Break Hotel.

So if you put some thought into what you've chosen to pick fault with, you'd find a lot of reason for them to have played it.

I'll never forget reading a review in The Detroit News of Queen's concert during 'The Game' tour at a crazy Joe Louis Arena, Detroit, (the Lions had adopted AOBTD as their theme song). As to Queen starting off with 'Jailhouse Rock', the reviewer commented of it being an homage for their later playing of CLTCL, and that they were also trying to play off of the success of the 'The Blues Brothers' movie (released in the summer of that year).

Lambert's looking a bit porky these days. I just find him cringe-worthy.

As mentioned by others, I also think this post belongs in the Queen+ AL part of this forum.

I always found it funny that he wore old Gary Glitter suits with studs and big shoulders.
