Prague Review
REVIEWS: Queen and Adam Lambert brushed the jewelry. And Freddie Mercury appeared
British band Queen has long been unable to rely on the phenomenal voice of Freddie Mercury, because he died in 1991. But today he has a good replacement in the form of singer Adam Lambert. His talent was on Wednesday evening guitarist Brian May, drummer Roger Taylor and other musicians on stage at the O2 arena in Prague, living in teenage blood.

Today 9:21
More than a two-hour concert showed how necessary the songs Queen had written during their career to play live. They make the audience happy and make them happy. Regardless of the Mercury beloved, but the voice is otherwise tinted, yet to the extent of a sufficiently strong American. When the passages were full in some passages, the frost was running out of his back.
The Queen have musical jewels in their repertoire, and together with Lambert they are dusting again in Prague. Hearing in their current release Radio Ga Ga, Bohemian Rhapsody, Under Pressure, I Want To Break Free, Somebody To Love or We Will Rock You, whose theme the Prague concert started, meant going to the rock history and absorbing creative creativity at that time view of proven timelessness.

In the first part of the concert, Lambert also took the post of real rock stars. He spoke to the audience, he was fond of the extremely heeled boots he was wearing, and was sitting on a pink bicycle on the Bicycle Race and taking his way through the scene. He also feared Freddie Mercury, and, moreover, he was more and more resembling his age as he grew older. Last but not least he shone thanks to his reliable singing performance.
When Brian May played on the pier with the acoustic guitar, Love Of My Life, in the projection behind him, he appeared in Mercury's extra-large size, and the melody sang with him. The farewell to the two of them stretched out their hands, and then Mercury walked into the darkness behind the stage. May let the audience clap and dry the tears that had blurted him in that moving and emotionally strong moment.

At the end of the basic set, he played an atmospheric guitar solo, which he imagined and imagined the light park, and indeed the entire scene with a large projection arc. He stood above the stage and the projection gave the impression of playing huge metal fists. Exactly such a moment to Queen classical concerts belong. By the time they set out on the world and his musical paradise reigned, such a solo at the concerts was played. Often these were the moments of the show.

Roger Taylor also played the drums. At the end of it, Tyler Warren, otherwise a percussionist, joined him and created together a dynamic cannon of strikes that licked his hearing. Bassist Neil Fairclough and keyboardist Spike Edney also got plenty of space, so it's no surprise that the six-member band reached a dense band with an unbelievable record of history.
The classic Queen, for obvious reasons, will not see the audience anywhere in the world. However, the current one is mature enough not to fall into the status of a true musical legend and continue to walk with dignity.

Best American Music Awards Performances No. 12: Adam Lambert Incenses the Parents Television Council With 'For Your Entertainment' at the 2009 AMAs
by Bryan Rolli
In honor of the 2017 American Music Awards, Billboard is counting down the best performances from the awards show’s history. Here is No. 12.
“You probably thought I was soft and sweet.” Don’t worry, Adam Lambert, you squashed that notion within the first 45 seconds of your 2009 AMAs performance.
Fans eagerly anticipated Lambert’s show-closing performance, his first live appearance since losing to Kris Allen on the eighth season of American Idol the previous May. The singer took the stage to the ominous piano intro of “For Your Entertainment,” the title track off his debut album, sporting signature sky-high hair and a glittery, studded blazer.
The beat dropped, and then Lambert strutted the stage with a hungry, determined glint in his eye, leading a scantily clad backup dancer across the floor on a leash, and pushing another dancer’s face into his crotch. He tumbled as he traversed the stage’s multiple platforms, playing it off as part of the routine. Then, around the three-and-a-half-minute mark, he marched to the back of the stage and planted a kiss on the lips of his male keyboardist.
The gesture outraged the Parents Television Council and ABC received a deluge of complaints, but eight years later, the performance seems almost tame by today’s standards. Despite the myriad stage antics, Lambert kept the glam-pop stomper on the rails with his stratospheric vocal runs, a testament to his already realized stage presence and artistic vision. The singer released For Your Entertainment the next day; it bowed at No. 3 on the Billboard 200 albums chart with 198,000 copies sold in its first week. Clearly, Lambert’s AMAs performance didn’t do his career much harm.
Watch the full performance below.
