New documentary

I liked the documentary ... there are some nice bits and Brian's interview from 92 gives us an idea of how broke he was. For those of you waiting for a torrent, someone recorded the documentary using an iPhone camera it seems. It is not great but better than nothing. The documentary is broken in several parts. The first part is available at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JTPd7KR79gk and all other parts are available at: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCMSP6dPnORvHMEpaGvh2-dA

Some quick points:

How Did Lambert not win Idol? He was clearly the largest stage presence on there.
As I've said before, he's a very likeable person.
He is probably the kind of larger than life character that Brian and Roger need on stage with them at this point in their lives.
But sorry, musically, it does nothing for me. I watched a video* of Rog & Brian singing Days of Our Lives in Japan in 2014 and the magic is still there. When I watch Lambert singing Queen songs the magic is missing. It was the same with Paul Rodgers, despite his vocal pedigree.

^Yo. Although I'm not the greatest fan of his and he looked like a potato with a wig, he was a better singer than most but even this doc states a "grassroots" group that had promoted that he was gay and that just takes out a huge chunk of the phony bible belt preachers in the Midwest. I don't know what the largest percentage of American idol voters were, since it was popular among kids as well at that time, but my guess is that'd it'd be the "average middle American" from the middle ages.

(Pun intended)

I DO remember some controversy about that, people locating old photos of Lambert being gay and it's far reaching consequences when promoted as depraved etc, (why else would it staff attention??) but it's probably better for him that he didn't get stuck in a cowell contract at the time.

Not a fan of "his" music either but clearly his career benefited from that.

Despite the cheap attention seeking hijinks that only a 70 year old Madonna would do, and despite floundering interest/sales. ..at least he got a great paying gig with an established band


****ANYWAYS***

WASN'T ALL THAT CRAP ALREADY COVERED (in the film)???

There was also this which probably had a lot to do with why he didn't win - http://www.nzherald.co.nz/entertainment/news/article.cfm?c_id=1501119&objectid=10575622

Ah. Essentially the same thing, only like in real life, people cheated to achieve and ensure the eventual outcome.

Thanks for sharing!

Thank you for the upload I have seen Queen + AL a number of times and it is entertainment, it is what it is, I loved Freddie but he's gone and standing there watching thousands of people enjoying the show probably means the music and those songs are bigger than Queen as a physical entity. I look forward to watching this.

thanks for the link !
will be downloading and watching this evening.
I´m one of those who changed their mind about this Q+AL story after the last time I saw them live 3 years ago.
No, this is not Queen and never will be, and Adam can be too histrionic on stage for my liking.
But he´s a good entertainer and seems to be genuinely a nice guy.
And Brian & Roger, my heroes, are enjoying it so much and still hitting the road. So bring it on !
