Those types of negative reviews are so biased as to be irrelevant. The rolling stone review on this page said it well, they are characterised by being:
under the pressure of mass delusion about replacing Mercury
Best response to the #FLD of the tour

Is this a major newspaper? Can you summarize the gist of the review? Yes it's a major newspaper. I can't summarize it - maybe you can do it, I'll send it to you. Thanks augenpoesie! Well obviously she didn't do her research.. he wins Idol again. : Does she normally review music events? Doesn't sound like she was a fan and there's a general snarkiness to the review. And though she talks about Adam's performance style and presentation, she didn't have any comments about the quality of his singing which is odd for a music review, unless I missed something.. Oh well, the positive reviews far outweigh this sorry excuse for a review. Glad not to be giving it hits.

Yeah - great response Yet this review wasn't exactly about FLD. What really bothers me about that review is that they make Adam appear to be a silly and stupid person, where you would turn deadly bored away in any conversation with him, because he's got nothing to say . And the ultimate insult is that the writer said, that he is the maximum listless performer...and that he sang "I want to break free" because he was so eager to get off stage. The reviewer gets so personal... but I should concentrate on all the wonderful and rave reviews they got... but it'll take some time, til I calm down.

There are many things I will miss about this union (improvs with Bri; Save Me; soaring notes, dorky dance moves and sexy slink...). The constant #FLD bullshit is most definitely one thing I'll be glad to put in the rear vision mirror when this tour is done and TOH swings into high gear!

The reviewer gets so personal... but I should concentrate on all the wonderful and rave reviews they got... but it'll take some time, til I calm down. Actually I think this review is all about FLD. Because she starts with the premise that Queen without a head is Queen no more. She is not looking at what is good in this incarnation, but rather reminiscing about what is no more. And this together with the bias that you are not supposed to like this, which is still present in some places (and yes, the Netherlands is one of those places too). I have been angry as well about some of the pieces that were written. BUT this time the comment sections saved the day for me. At each and every one there were people saying 'I was there, and it was brilliant', 'were you even at the same show?', 'have you listened to that man's voice?'. And those were not Glamberts, but sometimes Queenies and sometimes people who just like music. So what I did (after a while) is shrug, and listened to that great streamer yesterday, who sang his longs out and clearly had the time of his life. I think about the show in which Adam sang to me. About that beautiful beautiful improvisation before IWIA. About the love and fun that they have on stage. The people singing BoRap on their way to the tube. And that is what this show is about.

I found this one lurking on my camera. Did I post it already? (sorry if I did, I'm going to do it again, anyway). It's from Cologne.
