Here’s a good response about Adam:
“Very in-depth interview “Adam Lambert is a modern-day polymath. (person of wide-ranging knowledge or learning).
Lambert has not stopped transforming the music scene — all the while advocating for social justice”

Holly2003, what about first openly gay artist to have a number 1 album on the billboard charts? As a solo artist.
Yup, not Elton John, nor Freddie Mercury, nor George Michael, nor Sam Smith...but Adam Lambert. Sure, you could argue the album did not sell all that well in the end but it still opened at number 1 and all three of his solo albums opened in the top 3 at the Billboard Charts. He's also Grammy-nominated and an gay icon who has inspired many people to be exactly who they are.
Honestly, I have seen Bohemian Rhapsody and it makes me want to know more about Freddie. From all accounts, Freddie seems to be a beautiful person and a brilliant musician/artist. I have the highest respect for him both as a person and as an artist but frankly, I am appalled at the behavior of some of his fans on here. From the little that I know, Freddie was not always seen to be this semi-god when he was alive and he had his own share of detractors.
Who knows what is going to happen with Adam and his career at the end? He's been around since only 2009. Might be too early to judge yet.

You need to stop comparing your boy to Fred -- he's always going to come off second best.
Except Lambert had longer legs. Bo Rap, Live Aid, Barcelona etc vs. longer legs. Hmm...
Yep, longer legs is clearly what matters most to sweetcaroline.

Looks like he will adopt any look to try to find an audience. And to think there is a 40-page thread here asking if Lambert is a rock star. Utterly ridiculous.
I'd rather he did it because he wants to do that way, instead of bouncing from look to look, and genre to genre to find an audience. Things change all the time in the music business.

How many looks did Freddie have?
Adam is not Ed Sheeran or Adam Levine or Sam Smith.
Why don't you at least Google to try and find out?
Freddie was groundbreaking with some of his looks.
If you do Google about Freddie's looks, warning, you might clutch your pearls.
As for AL not being Sam Smith and the rest, that's exactly what pisses you off. For some reason/s you feel AL deserves the career that they have. No kidding, you want it all for AL and only for AL, the praise, the press, the nominatios, the awards, the chances other artists have received. Sorry, but I know your reactions when AL doesn't get what others have achieved...you are very jealous and spiteful.

He mentioned ages ago that he loved the 70's hippy vibe so he obviously asked the guys doing the shoot to give him that look, he even thanks them for it. That's a photoshoot, nothing more, a bit of fun for someone who likes to play dress up, hardly a big deal.

Look, I don't come to a Queen forum to hear about a .... uh .... um ... gay icon. :O
More seriously, I don't dislike Lambert as a person and I've said previously that he's doing ok in a difficult situation. However, QZ has never been a forum for uncritical, gushing praise, which is pretty much all the lambert fans have to offer so far. By all means feel free to talk about his role as a gay icon -- it would be 1000 times more interesting than sweetcaroline's lambert tourettes.
“How many looks did Freddie have?”
That was a rhetorical question. I know how many looks he had and his different costumes. Do you want me to post a link for YOU?

Sure you know *sarcasm*.
Don't bother posting it for me, because I'm well aware of the looks he had.
As for you, you can't even answer what Queen had in common with AL . I guess it's not much at all.

Ah, the Stephen Hawking approach.
Hello Dr Hawking. We think you're a fraud and you know nothing about Black Holes.
Dr Hawking: How dare you! Do you want me to post a link?

Icy, I was responding to the Sealion post just before mine. My phone does not let me post other people’s posts to respond to. Keep up, girl.
Did you see the movie yet? I might be seeing it again today with my son.
No answer at all. Instead you deflect. I guess that's better than bigging up AL on a Queen board in regards what you think he has in common with Queen.
There is very little they have in common. You can't even answer.
It's you who needs to keep up, granny. Or get a clue in first place.
I answered. Read Sealion’s post. I’m not going to repeat everything because you think I should answer only you. Sealion listed a lot of things about Queen that I said Adam had in common.
Adam Lambert is ashamed of his freckled face. He wears makeup 24/7.
This is what Lambert really looks like.
