Lambert and Martel are destined to compete with each other for the title of Queen Karaoke King. Martel has already made a start by releasing an album of Queen classics and when Maylor eventually call it a day, Lambert will do the same. Lambert will sell himself as 'singer with the real Queen' and Martel will sell himself as 'handpicked by Queen'. As the decades roll by they'll both be in huge demand and make alot of money. They'll star in various productions featuring Queen music, they'll appear on the same tv shows singing Queen songs and have their own tours performing Queen songs.

Still just karaoke though, isn't it?

And many of us will be happy to see them, because there won’t be anything closer to Queen. And the fighting in the forums will go on about, who is better. :D

Only thing: AL still has a solo career. I actually cannot see him doing a pure Queen show. The one or other song, yes.

I don't see him doing that either, and unless he has a change of heart you won't see him doing a Queen covers album, he got asked about recording one of their songs on Instagram and he replied "thanks that's very flattering but Queen already did that one". I've heard him say he thinks it wouldn't be right to re record their old music, doing it live is a different thing. He does throw the odd Queen song in his solo live shows, one's he really likes but I can't ever see him becoming a Queen tribute act, not even when their collab ends.

Arguably Martel & Lambert are manufactured dross. They are making there living on Queen music, hardly original is it ?

Lambert is singing with the band, different thing, and why not, it's an opportunity not many would turn down if offered it and he's still doing solo things as well, it's not like he's just thrown everything in with them, he's no intention of it becoming the only thing he does but he'd be mad not to ride it out and so would they.

None of them is manufactured. Both were asked by B&R to sing their music. I‘m sure at least Lambert is able to make a better living than most of us with his own music.

Martel & Lambert certainly would not have a thriving career if Freddie was still here.

No idea what Martel would be doing, might still have started a Queen tribute band since he says people constantly told him he sounded like Freddie after every gig he did with his original band.

Lambert would have still gone on Idol and would be doing solo music and all the other stuff he still does, just minus the Queen + gig.

I think Adam would have fizzled out by now as reality stars have a shelf life limit and then its curtains.

Actually there is a chance they would.

As much as you wouldn't like the idea, I think it's likely that in his 70's Freddie would have left the band years before and certainly wouldn't be touring.

If Queen were defunct Roger may very well have still set up the Queen extravaganza and Brian and Roger way still have found Lambert and decided to tour in Freddie's absence.

Who knows, anything is possible.

You can't know that since things happened the way they did but I do know the kind of person Adam is and I'm fairly certain he would have found his way to doing something in entertainment regardless if his music took off or not. There's quite a few former contestants from those type shows who now have jobs as presenters etc, getting known is the point of those shows but it's what you make of the opportunity it affords you that counts, they're just door openers. Adam has a great work ethic and he's tough so I very much doubt he would have let it slip through his fingers once he got that door open.

Adam Lambert is just like that loony on Xfactor last night Gio Spanno in which Musical theatre is his forte.
Lambert is not much more than Gio.

Then why do you care? Shut up about him. It would make you look nice. Maybe people would be nicer to you then as well. Just a hint.

And no, I‘m neither a woman, nor a glambert. I know, you tend to forget that. ;-)
