They changed the review. The original article was a lot longer. They even changed the headline. The original headline was "minus + minus gets plus".
I'll post the original translation:
Queen + Adam Lambert - Minus and Minus results Plus
Since Freddie Mercury's death Queen is headless. Now let Adam Lambert serve as organ donation. The Berlin audience in the nearly sold out O2 World liked it.

A band because it behaves like the human body, has, at best, only a head. So it is ideal, because two of them break apart (Oasis) and if it does not have more, then she's dead (Nirvana). But then there's Queen. Royal stubborn, the band tries to dismiss all poprules since 1991. Headless she wanders across the stages around the world, only to frantically cover themselves and their second row members, drummer Roger Taylor and guitarist, Brian May, to make it to stardom even more to the pop-Prometheus. Queen mends the missing head new again and again.
At the moment this head’s name is Adam Lambert. He‘s American and looks like the glam-rock version of the former Lagerfeld muse Baptiste Giabiconi. Yes, you can imagine Lambert drinking with Lagerfeld Diet Coke, both fingerless gloved in the shade on a Mediterranean terrace somewhere, but as soon as the Coke would be sucked out, Lagerfeld would be turning away. The conversation would not succeed, because at Lambert follows one banal pop platitude to the next: "Hey Berlin" "Are you ready to rock and roll?" "Ich liebe dich." Boring, but not surprising. For Lambert is not a pop star, he only has won American Idol, a star performer that was sewn as organ donation in a band. He should replace Freddie Mercury? Minus and minus should arise Plus.
It's Wednesday evening, the hall, which is no longer called O2 World soon is full. Man wearing red velvet and glittering Q brooches on the lapel. Man reading newspaper, or peeking with binoculars towards the stage. It rumbles, it growls, it smokes - then the Popmonster is born. "One Vision" is the first song and the theme of the evening. "One Flesh, One Bone" Lambert sings lukewarm of the stage, which is decorated with a capital "Q", and in this first act, because it stands for "Question Mark" - question mark.
Lambert seems to be listless to the max.
Lambert is the youngest and weakest, but he does not fly, he moves in slow poses stop-motion. In "Fat Bottomed Girls", he runs his hand up and down at the golden microphone stand, and has a maximum listless. Out of "Killer Queen" he makes on a lounge chair lying drag queen. When he sings "I want to break free" one believes him immediately. A little later he is gone.
Brian May is now sitting up front, alone on a stool, sings "Love of my Life" for Freddie, and everyone is singing along, and this is so cheesy and sweet that you feel the same there is the Coca-Cola Christmas jerk next angels and snowflakes fly through the hall. Freddie, appears in the belly of Q, - it stands for Queen - then sings the last line and they melt in the audience ears like hot chocolate bars in the audience palate. Then follow solos. May and his guitar in the Seventies Shooting Star buzz. Taylor and his drums in the drum-off against the young accompanying drummer - and what can I say, this is sex and power, and play. The audience has passed the binoculars, it now stretches his fists.
For this yesterday undertow escaped out a perfect finale. Lambert also fits now. He is now the golden boy in suit with gold crown. As Jesus after Easter he sings "We will rock you" and of course "We are the Champions". And while gold confetti explodes over all, you do not know what you want first: eat Mozart balls? Drink eggnog? Throwing little golden pictures at them? Oh, "I want it all!" and "Now!" wants to call, because you now know in life is nothing like it was, but everything eventually comes back somehow. And that's damn comforting, so for the heart and the head.
And please don't tell me that this is a good review...
