Sure it is there right to continue but that does not make it right!
I was chatting to Gregg Brooks on social media and he said he agrees with me that Queen are not the same and he is not a fan of Adam Lambert but he only goes to shows to watch Brian & Roger play which is a fair comment So the shows are sell outs mainly because of Brian & Roger not Adam.

well it does make it right. because it's their right to do so. you may disagree, but you don't have have a "dog in the fight" - their continuing doesn't affect you any more than it should anyone else not attending the gigs. perhaps it's time to just let it go, it won;t help you arguing over something you have no control over.
i would agree with you on your closing statement - you may have a point. but we'll never know that to be a fact - not unless you ask every single concert-goer who they were there to see.

Plenty of Adam's fans go to the shows regardless of whether his songs are included. As to Queen fans there are plenty who like what he does, you've argued with a few on facebook and you know they've seen Freddie live, there's plenty on twitter who comment after the shows that they've now become fans of Adam as well, some even saying they'd love to see him solo and some who don't even check out his solo stuff but still rave about him with Brian & Roger. Of course there's others who do go just for Brian & Roger and probably would regardless who was singing and some go even though they don't particularly like Adam's voice. The result is there's not just one type of fan.

"others" who just go for Brian and Roger......How delusional can you get????
I go to see Q+AL mainly because of Brian and Roger of course, but the majority of people who attend (and me included) leave the venue you amazement of Adam's vocal technicality - to be able to sing Queen songs in the same pitch as the original version nearly every time is quite something, whether you like his voice or not!

Those Queen fans you speak of who has turned into AL fans, still hasn't made AL to be able to sell or even download millions of his solo music.
I don't think many AL fans have turned into Queen fans as you might think. Examples thr two main Glamberts here who can barely post about Freddie and Queen, while posting on Queen boards.

Freddie is an original and one of Adam’s idols, along with Michael, David Bowie, Elvis and even Madonna. It is taking awhile but I think Adam is leaving his mark with his creative interpretations of both existing and new music.
Freddie, Jackson, Bowie, Presley and Madonna have been pretty groundbreaking in their careers. AL not so much. While AL seems stuck singing other people's music. He's not as creative as you like to think.

I hardly think two people on a Queenzone forum is representative of everyone out there and there are some of Adam's fans who are now Queen fans but it's irrelevant anyway, they don't have to become Queen fans, it's not essential.
I've seen plenty comments on Twitter after the shows about Adam, not all will check him out solo and of those that do his music is nothing like Queen so maybe they don't like it enough to buy/download it who knows, but there are definitely lots who go for Brian & Roger and come away fans of Adam even if it's only as the singer of QAL.

Snort. Those two people think I and so eine else here represents Queen fans, funny enough.
Sure, Queen fans have wanted to check AL's music out. I don't think many of them turn into mega AL fans. I have quite a few of Queen fans on my facebook, and not one of them have turned into s mega AL fan. One came close, but she is ot even an AL fan these days.
AL hss said some of his latest music was done hoping to catch Queen fans ears...I think he went the wrong way about it. That statement he made about that made it seem he wants to piggy back of Queen's sucess, and one of the reasons I say he's riding on coattails.

I really couldn't care less who likes his music and who doesn't I was simply pointing out there are plenty Queen fans who have seen him QAL and rate him as a singer, that has zero to do with his own music. So what if he hopes some Queen fans like his own music, he's been with them for over seven years now so if some fans check him out (and some definitely do) and like what they hear all well and good, those that don't fine as well, he's not holding a gun to anyone's head, they have free will.

My point is, from what I've seen and read those Queen fans who check him out haven't made his music sell better. He is unable to keep any of his momentum going, mainly because he has always gone back singing with Brian and Roger...and even that hasn't helped him as maybe he hoped.
From this Queen fan, I will say one of his songs is absolutely very good, great even, but that doesn't mean I like the two songs that followed. They were so weak, I'd be surprised if he got new fans by those 2 songs.

He's put an EP out since those two songs, will be releasing one new song tonight and his full album in March so he's not going back to singing with Brian & Roger he's doing both. As I pointed out their tour is broken up into bits and there's plenty time for him to do his own thing this year, Album in March, tour with QAL from May then solo tour after the QAL tour ends in early July.
The solo tour wont happen and his album will bomb like his EP.
