Finally, with an hour left in the program, Malek, who won an Oscar for his portrayal of Freddie Mercury in “Bohemian Rhapsody” earlier this year, introduced Queen and guest vocalist Adam Lambert — and the group did not disappoint. Lambert’s operatic vocals echoed Mercury’s and guitarist Brian May showed off his considerable chops on a hit parade that included “Bohemian Rhapsody,” “Another One Bites the Dust,” “We Will Rock You,” “We Are the Champions,” “I Want It All,” “Crazy Little Thing Called Love,” “Under Pressure,” “Radio Gaga” and “Somebody to Love.” Video clips of Mercury meshed with the live band on several occasions. I know I am preaching to the choir, but this phrase just pisses me off. I can usually deal with the FLDs everyone feels the need to throw into their comments about QAL. "He's not Freddie". Or even, "Almost as good as Freddie." Everyone is entitled to their opinions, I tell myself. BUT, let's talk facts. Adam's vocals, operatic or not, do NOT ECHO Mercury's. Echoing meaning copying or sounding the same. They do not. Not in tone, not in technique, not in delivery, not in style, not in intent. Granted, he sings the same songs, and he can hit the high notes Freddie did in the studio (tho' not often in live performances past the very early days). That is where the vocal similarities end. Yes, Adam's vocals have an operatic quality to them; not unexpected considering his training and background. Freddie's never did. Freddie sang rock very well. Freddie wanted to sing opera. Freddie even sang some songs with an opera singer. But, he never sounded remotely operatic. Sorry folks. OKay, I will get off my soapbox now. Thanks for letting me vent.

That was an amazing interview! Funny that someone joked about "Adam for president" because he speaks so brilliantly and is eloquent and enciteful and has such a huge understanding of human nature and diplomacy, the only other speakers that are comparable are Obama and mayor Pete!! Ha! I'll sware, Adam is one brilliant man!
