Short like I thought. Funny thing some people said he was suited more to Vegas than singing rock songs. Look at him now...but I'm sure he will still fit in a cover or two during these shows.
Asda got Adam Lambert's new "Velvet" album in but no one purchased a copy so the whole batch got took off display and sent back !
I'm not a great fan of his solo music but to be honest I don't like a lot of modern music but he can sing and perform really well with pretty much every song he does so I'd rather see him live singing songs I love - that's why I quite like Q+AL. Seeing Brian and Roger perform love - the thing they enjoy the most about being musicians and seeing someone who has got the vocal capability to sing Queen songs.
Yes if you like your Queen songs insulted and turned into west end musical theatre by Adam then go for it but Queen started out as a hard rock band with Freddie not mushy musical theatre
which is what Lambert has turned this band into.

These German shows are tiny clubs. And not even those will sell out. Wonder what makes him think he will sell out Wembley Arena.

The last one who had the capability to do that was a guy from Zanzibar
Who else finds Adam’s version of Who Wants To Live Forever absolutely terrible? He starts screaming the notes because he can’t sing them correctly. Freddie’s original version was a power ballad, I’m unsure what Adam’s is. Bunch of thin pitched screaming. Perhaps his worst vocal performances.

Me (but I find any QAL performance terrible. WWTLF is the prime example though that the guy has no clue how to perform a Queen song. No feeling , annoying oversinging with his paperthin shit voice. Same as WATC, or TSMGO or.....or..... (you can add any song here). WWTLF is the icing on the cake though when it comes to destroying the Queen catalogue

From memory between 1200 and 1500, what size venues do you think accounts for 80 percent of live tours in Europe.
Also the Amsterdam venue is somewhere between 5 and 6 thousand and Wembley is twice that.
What makes you so factually knowledgeable about the number of tickets Lambert will or won't sell.
Not every artist plays arenas or stadiums and even Queen back in the day didn't sellout every show.
If Freddie performed in similar circumstances as Adam does now, how do we know that he wouldn't perform as theatrical as Adam does with Queen?
If you don't like him tough luck - hundreds of thousands of people obviously want to see Q+AL live otherwise they wouldn't be on a global tour. Just deal and respect Brian and Roger's decisions and stop complaining because it'll change nothing. Stop ruining it for those who want to as it's a free world, it's not a dictatorship.

Young Music Fan People are going to the shows because of Brian Nd Roger as they are the rock legends.
Adam is just the singer helping them out.
Lambert needs Queen more than Queen needs Lambert.

„People“?
People go for very different reasons.
Most go for the music, what else? (some are just accompanying parters).
Some are Brian and/or Roger fans.
Some are Adam fans.
Some are both.
Some are no particular fan at all and only casual music fans, who always wanted to see Queen.
And others are longtime fans, who don’t care much about QAL, but want tosend a great night.
Percentages differ from country to country and nigh5 to night. My bet is, that the particular Brian, Roger and Adam fans always are in the minority.

You are in for a surprise, my dear...
(And since when do tiny clubs have a capacity of 1600? LOL)
