Uh, Q3, weren't the Queen vids for I'm Going Slightly Mad and I Want to Break Free totally campy and comic? I mean I wqs surprised by how silly all the band members were. But maybe you mean live onstage.

OMG That National Post review started off promising, but this: "And where he[Adam] legitimately faltered — in stage presence, mostly, which all too often amounted to standing idly until his next vocal cue — May and Taylor stepped in ..." ??? WTF? Where are the videos of Adam standing idly waiting for his next vocal cue? Cause I wanna see Adam standing idly - I'm serious, folks - I can't go to any of the concerts and experience Adam's stage presence for myself, so I can only watch videos, and I have never seen him NOT be "on" and "present". I wanna see if he does switch it off during the show. I won't believe it until I see actual proof.

I am convinced Freddie would not approve of those videos of him singing being used in concert. I am pleased someone finally wrote about it in that way. I honestly believe that Freddie would prefer to have the music he wrote performed -- particularly BoRhap. I am sure many Queen fans feel differently. But they used a tape for the chorus section when Freddie was alive and that part really would take a lot of people to perform live -- more then 6 voices. This! It would be absolutely fab and a highlight of the show. I'm sure there's a gay men's chorus in every city that would happily help out :-) Why specifically a gay men's chorus? Straight guys can sing too. So can the "bi-curious."

My pet peeve is the reporting : Adam went from Idol to Queen with nothing inbetween. This type of reporting drives me crazy. He's a star .. He's on his third album,He's toured the world with sold out concerts,he was up for a Grammy... and so forth... no mentiion of who he is since IDOL.. I know some think It's kind of an amazing journey from Idol to Queen and it is. BUT to quote someone " Adam is an overnight success but it took 20 years." I wish the press would give him his due..

@vegas1024: This person is gloriously losing their shit britishbeatlemania.tumblr.com/post/91712222211/ok-i-just-got-back-from-the-queen-concert-and-holyConcert review from a Beatles fan..OK I JUST GOT BACK FROM THE QUEEN CONCERT AND HOLY FUCKUERSGJURTSH FUCKKKK IT WAS SO FUCKING GOOD FUCKKK Tbh I was never a fan of Adam Labert like yeah I acknowledged his voice was spectacular so obvi he could hit those high notes Freddie’s famous for but I never rlly digged his music idek. buT let me tELL yoU I am BLOWN aWAY bY THAT MAN HOLY FUCKING SHIT He has such a fucking character he made me laugh and he made me giggle and smirk he was almoST PERFECT HE WAS SO CLOSE TO PERFECT (Perfect is Freddie and of course no one can replace him). But honestly man aDAM was on fiRE he was so cheeky and outgoing and his wardrobe was hella fuckign fine I cam out of that stadium with a different perspective on that man I fuking love him okay YEPPP And of course, Brian and Roger. aYYYYYY. Roger is actually the cutest shit ever every time he appeared on the big screen hed have the cutEST smile on while jamming and eveRY timE I’d nudge my brother and squeal “ISNT HE SO CUTE ISNT ROGER THE CUTEST OH MY GOD.” And his sON RUFUS WAS THERE JAMMING TOO I DIDNT EXPECT THAT WHEN I SAW HIM FOR THE FIRST TIME I WAS SO IN AWE HE LOOKS IDENTICAL TO HIS DAD WHEN HE WAS YOUNGER IT WAS UNBELIEVABLE AND THEY EVEN HAD A DRUMMING DUEL IT WAS SO CUTE FUCKCUGJC THE TAYLORS ARE JUST TOO CUTE OKAYYYYY and Brian oh my god brian was so fucking grooVY his solos were on poiNT his lil breaks where he talked to the crowd made me all warm and fuzzy inside and his haIR NEVER CHANGES ITS PERFECTTTTTTTTTT And when they had video clips on the screen every time they put Deaky on I’d just scream “DEEEEEEEAKYYYYYYYYYYY I LOVE YOUUUUUUUUU” aYYY my heARTTTT My favourite parts where when they sang Killer Queen, they put one of those sofa chair things that you like lie down on idek what theyre called on this part that stuck out of the stage and fucking adAM LAMBERT WALKS THERE AND LAYS DOWN IN THE FABBEST FUCKING POSE AND STARTS SINGING LIEK A CHEEKY BASTARD HE EVEN FANNED HIMSELF AND SHIT IT WAS BRILLIANT I COULDNT STOP SCREAMING/LAUGHING But my favourite favourite part was when its only Brian on stage, he comes out to the sticking out part with a stool and acoustic, sits down, chats, and tells us he wants to sing with us, “see if we can make a little magic.” and he starts playing Love of my Life and it was luvely yknow we’re all singing. But at one point, the screen changes, and right before my eyes Freddie Mercury is there, Freddie fuckign Mercury is on stage singing to me and to us and to the world, "Bring it back, bring it back. Don’t take it away from me, because you don’t know what it means to me…" and even before that, even before he said the first word, I just started bawling. Like actually fuckign bawling so fucking hard I kept wiping my face over and over. I wanted to record that moment bc whenever there was a really good moment in the concert I’d record it…. but I just couldnt. I dont know if it was bc didnt want to miss a single second of him or if I was too awestruck to react in any way but with tears or both idek. I just stared and cried and cried I couldnt even sing anymore I tried at one point and I couldnt do it. It made me so upset yet so happy at once somehow. It’s as if Freddie was actually here or there or whatever. Its as if he was still alive they were making it seem like he was still alive and I cant tell if that was cruel or gratifying yet when it’s all said and done I’m so so glad they did that. And that was the show y’know The only concert that’s ever topped this for me is Paul’s performances. But the fact Queen was a close second goddamn god fucking damn god fuckign bless them britishbeatlemania.tumblr.com/post/91712222211/ok-i-just-got-back-from-the-queen-concert-and-holy

Oh no disrespect to the straight, bi-curious and transgendered and every other which ways that can also sing but just seems like a gay men's chorus would be kind of fitting... #justme #ymmv #noharmnofoul

OTT but I know there are many many of us who would give significant amounts of what little cash we have left over after buying Queen tickets to hear Adam just once sing "Sweet Child O Mine"...
So of course that Frank dude on The Voice Oz gets to sing it last night (damn you Joel Madden for one by one crucifying every single classic rock favorite at the altar of The Voice). What the actual fuck. He was ok, certainly did a better job of it than he did of WATC, but was still a decent karaoke version rather than any kind of ownership of the song.

Just a very quick hi! I am on holiday with the kids, staying at a campsite with very (VERY) limited wifi access, have been for more than a week, and I just wanted to say that made me realize that you have become such a big part of my life. I feel cut off because I can't follow these epic concerts. But I really miss your voices, it feels as if I suddenly lost a part of my family.. So a big hug to all of you And thank you for being here! And holy fuckamoly! Next week I will fly to Iceland, and from there to Toronto, and I will finally finally finally see Adam + Queen!!! Can't wait!
