Rhapsody Tour 2019

A profession music critic listed the best 10 chicago concerts of 2019 ... and QAL is nowhere to be found.

Maybe he didn't attend the Queen + AL show? I can't read the article, it's not available in Europe.

Who is Ric Wilson, Idles and Jsmila Woods?

I recall you mentioning the importance of a music professional's opinion (your in-law relative?).

Therefore, you must concede that these 10 concerts are better than a QAL concert, because this year end review was written by an experienced music professional. It does not matter if you never heard of these artists as you are not a music professional.

I believe Greg Kot is a pretentious music critic, but my opinion is irrelevent as I am not a music professional.

Saint Jiub, Why would you like a music critic to review a show he'd never attended? How would it be professional?

I cannot have a legitimate opinion of what would be fair, as I am not a professional music critic

I'm fairly sure he did not review the concert or any QAL concert, as it probably was not his cup of tea.

He was very critical of the cheesiness of the Bo Rhap movie however:

'Bohemian Rhapsody' finds 2 redeeming moments amid cliches (and factual errors)"

There are a couple of entertaining scenes in “Bohemian Rhapsody,” the new Queen biopic. Unfortunately, you have to wade through more than two hours of slow-moving, cliche-packed melodrama to get to them."

Greg Kot also reviewed provided a brief slightly positive overview of Queen's career in 1992:

What are Greg Kot’s credentials? Is he a musician himself? I don’t feel like looking him up. He liked only 2 scenes in the biopic? Did he see Freddie in person?

Well, I looked him up anyway. He is a journalist, not a musician, so I don’t know what makes him an expert regarding music:

What an idiotic comment.

What is idiotic? He is not a music expert. He is just writing his own opinion. I could do that, too, but I am not a journalist.

You copy and past 100s (1000s?) of opinions from non-music experts as long as they are saying something positive about Lambert. But when one person posts something that doesn't praise Lambert you start demanding credentials. Are you that demented that you can't see your own hypocrisy? More likely the cold calculation of a disturbed cult member ...

And btw he's a music journalist and probably has forgotten more about music than you'll ever learn.

Sorry to disappoint you but I am neither demented nor disturbed!

Being a fan of Queen + Adam Lambert is hardly being in a cult!

You don't get to decide that.
