@lambertizeme: @adamlambert is not happy about sharing his couch with @drbrianmay in #Montreal #queen
Q+AL is headed back to the USA
Next stop will be Adam's first performance in the "City of Brotherly Love". Yes, he played in the Philly suburbs (Upper Darby, PA) but never in the actual city of Philadelphia.
Queen also played in Upper Darby before they made it to Philly -- and they played the same theater.
I have no idea what the Philly show will be like but this city was the site of many, many epic shows. And here are two of them:
Upper Darby Tower Theater
January 31, 1976 Queen, The Night at the Opera Tour
February 1, 1976 Queen, The Night at the Opera Tour
February 2, 1976 Queen, The Night at the Opera Tour
August 12, 2010 Adam Lambert, Glam Nation Tour
The next time Queen played Philadelphia (November 23 and November 24, 1977), they were booked into an arena -- the Spectrum -- the predecessor to Philadelphia's Wells Fargo Center.
Last night could have been the MOST EPIC concert of the tour --
so far!!

Adam Lambert s’est donné de bien grands souliers à chausser en se glissant dans les habits de Freddie Mercury le temps d’une tournée.
Lundi, l’ex-participant d’American Idol a foulé les planches du Centre Bell aux côtés de deux vétérans de Queen, Brian May et Roger Taylor, avec pour défi de faire revivre le répertoire de la mythique formation britannique.
Lorsqu’on connaît la réputation de bête de scène du chanteur adulé mort en 1991, on se dit qu’il s’agissait d’un pari presque perdu d’avance pour Lambert. Difficile de gagner au jeu des comparaisons avec Mercury en chantant des classiques comme Somebody to Love ou Crazy Little Things Called Love.
C'était mal connaître le chanteur derrière les tubes radiophoniques «Whataya Want From Me» et «If I Had You», qui a impressionné en dépit des attentes pourtant élevées. Lorsque Lambert est monté sur scène, vêtu de cuir de la tête aux pieds, les cris de la foule ont atteint des sommets rarement égalés en début de concert.
Le jeune trentenaire a un tel charisme et une telle prestance sur scène qu'on en oublie presque que ce spectacle sent parfois le réchauffé. Car même si Lambert insuffle une théâtralité rafraîchissante à un répertoire qui a accédé au panthéon du rock, musicalement, sa contribution n'apporte finalement rien de plus à ce que pouvait offrir la dernière compilation des plus grands succès de Queen —qui, rappelons-le, a quand même vendu plus de 300 millions d’albums en carrière.
Élan de nostalgie
Au fil des chansons, on en vient même à se demander ce qui a poussé le guitariste Brian May et le batteur Roger Taylor, maintenant dans la mi-soixantaine, à se lancer dans une énième tournée pour rejouer les chansons qui les ont propulsés au sommet de leur gloire dans les années 1970 et 1980 (après avoir fait la même chose avec Paul Rodgers il y a quelques années).
On peut sans doute présumer que c'est un regain de nostalgie qui les a incités à repartir en tournée, 23 ans après la mort tragique de leur leader. C’est du moins ce qui a dû convaincre les milliers de spectateurs réunis au Centre Bell à se procurer des billets.
Lundi soir, les mélomanes en proie à la nostalgie n’ont d'ailleurs pas boudé leur plaisir, savourant les «riffs» si connus de Under Pressure ou Another One Bites the Dust. Avant même que le concert ne débute, l'enthousiasme des spectateurs était palpable.
Il faut admettre que cet improbable mariage intergénérationnel a donné droit à quelques agréables surprises, dont un «Killer Queen» assez savoureux, alors que Lambert était étendu sur un canapé pourpre à jouer les divas en buvant du champagne.
Solos rock
Le chanteur s'est éclipsé le temps de quelques chansons, laissant May seul sous les feux des projecteurs avec sa guitare. Il a interprété I Still Love You, aidé du public qui complétait les couplets. Son défunt camarade Freddie est arrivé en renfort dans une vidéo projetée sur écran géant. On en avait des frissons! Jusqu'à la fin du concert, le guitariste a multiplié les solos, grattant sa guitare avec une intensité foudroyante.
Taylor a aussi eu droit à ses quelques minutes de gloire avant que Lambert ne revienne sur scène pour un Love Kills assez convaincant.
Si We Will Rock You a électrisé la foule au rappel, la dernière pièce, We Are the Champions, l’a complètement achevée. Ça rockait autant sur scène (avec un May aux couleurs du Tricolore) que dans les gradins.
En fin de parcours, alors que les musiciens venaient tout juste d’entamer l’emblématique Bohemian Rhapsody, Freddie Mercury est une fois de plus apparu sur l'écran géant, joignant sa voix et sa lumière à cet opéra rock qui a fait la renommée du groupe. En dépit du talent indéniable de Lambert et du génie de ces vieux routiers du rock, on n'a pu s'empêcher de penser que pour briller, Queen a besoin de Freddie.

Queen at the Bell Centre

The legendary British band Queen and singer Adam Lambert were show Monday night at the Bell Centre.

Adam Lambert has given many big shoes to slipping into the clothes of the time Freddie Mercury on tour.
On Monday, the former American Idol participant trod the boards at the Bell Centre alongside two veterans of Queen, Brian May and Roger Taylor, with the challenge of reviving the repertoire of the legendary British band.
When you know the reputation of showman singer idolized death in 1991, we said that it was almost lost a bet in advance for Lambert. Difficult to win at the game of comparisons with Mercury singing classics like Somebody to Love and Crazy Little Things Called Love.
I was wrong about the singer behind the radio tubes "Whataya Want From Me" and "If I Had You" impressed yet despite high expectations. When Lambert took the stage, dressed in leather from head to feet, the shouts of the crowd peaked rarely matched in early together.
The early thirties has such charisma and such a presence on stage that you almost forget that this show sometimes feels warmed. Because even if Lambert breathes refreshing theatricality to a directory that has accessed the pantheon of rock, musically, his contribution ultimately brings nothing more that could offer the last compilation of the greatest hits of Queen who, remember has still sold over 300 million albums in his career.
Burst of nostalgia
Through songs, we even begin to wonder what prompted guitarist Brian May and drummer Roger Taylor, now in his mid-sixties, to embark on yet another tour to replay songs that have propelled the top their fame in the 1970s and 1980s (after doing the same with Paul Rodgers there a few years ago).
We can probably assume that it is a revival of nostalgia that prompted them to tour again, 23 years after the tragic death of their leader. This is at least what had to convince the thousands of spectators gathered at the Bell Centre to purchase tickets.
Monday evening, music lovers in the throes of nostalgia have also not hide their pleasure, savoring the "riffs" if known or Under Pressure Another One Bites the Dust. Before the concert began, the enthusiasm of the audience was palpable.
Admittedly, this unlikely marriage intergenerational gave right to some pleasant surprises, including a "Killer Queen" quite tasty, while Lambert was lying on a purple couch playing divas drinking champagne.
rock solos
The singer was overshadowed a few songs, leaving May alone under the spotlight with his guitar. He performed I Still Love You, helped the public who completed the verses. His late friend Freddie arrived as reinforcements in a projected on a giant video screen. We had chills! Until the end of the concert, the guitarist multiplied solos, strumming his guitar with lightning intensity.
Taylor also got his few minutes of fame before Lambert comes back on stage for Love Kills convincing enough.
If We Will Rock You electrified the crowd recall, the last piece, We Are the Champions, has been fully completed. It rockait both on stage (with the colors of the Tricolore May) than in the stands.
In the end, while the musicians had just begun the iconic Bohemian Rhapsody, Freddie Mercury is once again appeared on the big screen, joining his voice and light in this rock opera is renowned group. Despite the undeniable talent of Lambert and engineering of these old timers rock, we could not help thinking that to shine, Queen Freddie needs.
Queen: "Adam Lambert é mais apropriado do que Paul Rodgers"
Traduzido por Danilo F. Nascimento | Fonte: Blabbermouth
A contestada união entre uma das maiores bandas de todos os tempos (ou o que restou dela) com o cantor pop Adam Lambert parece ter, infelizmente, se consolidado.
Há quem diga que a banda já tenha planos para gravar um álbum de inéditas com o cantor em futuro próximo.
Recentemente, Brian May e Roger Taylor disseram ser mais apropriada a parceria com Adam Lambert, em relação à última com Paul Rodgers. Taylor falou a respeito:
"Paul tem uma das melhores vozes do rock, mas é mais orientada para o blues ou soul. Com todo respeito a Paul, eu diria que Adam é mais apropriado para o nosso material e mesmo assim tivemos ótimas turnês com Paul. Acho que os estilos se combinam de uma melhor maneira."
Confira vídeos da mais recente apresentação do grupo:
O talento e a versatilidade técnica de Lambert, como cantor, é inquestionável, mas vê-lo envolvido com o Queen, de alguma forma, chega a ser um sacrilégio.
Infelizmente, Brian May e Roger Taylor parecem não possuir a mesma sapiência e sabedoria de John Deacon, que soube a hora certa de parar, de deixar a marca e o legado construído descansar em paz. Uma pena!

Queen: "Adam Lambert is more appropriate than Paul Rodgers"
Translated by Danilo F. Birth | Source: Blabbermouth
The union of disputed one of the greatest bands of all time (or what's left of it) with pop singer Adam Lambert seems to have unfortunately been consolidated.
Some say that the band already has plans to record a studio album with singer in the near future.
Recently, Brian May and Roger Taylor said was more suitable to the partnership with Adam Lambert from last with Paul Rodgers. Taylor talked about:
"Paul has one of the best rock voices but is geared more towards blues or soul. With all due respect to Paul, I would say that Adam is more appropriate for our stuff and still had great tours with Paul. Guess the styles combine in a better way. "
Check out the latest video presentation of the group:
The talent and versatility of the technique Lambert, a singer, is unquestionable, but seeing him involved with the Queen, somehow gets to be a sacrilege.
Unfortunately, Brian May and Roger Taylor does not appear to have the same wisdom and wisdom of John Deacon, who knew the right time to stop, leaving the brand and the legacy built rest in peace. A pity!
Three reasons Freddie Mercury might approve of Queen + Adam Lambert (and one reason he might not)
Brad Wheeler, The Globe and Mail

Artist Queen + Adam Lambert
Venue Air Canada Centre
City Toronto
Date Sunday, July 13, 2014
A forthcoming album from the bombastic English rockers is apparently to be titled Queen Forever. After 40 years in the business and after improbably surviving the loss of iconic singer Freddie Mercury in 1992 due to complications caused by AIDS, “forever” seems like a more approachable goal than ever. With the former American Idol runner-up Adam Lambert playing queen for the day as the band's featured touring vocalist these days, the flashy troupe gave an extravagant, high-energy, old-fashioned arena rock show to a sold-out, whipped-up Air Canada Centre audience on Sunday. Would Freddie Mercury, who sang Who Wants to Live Forever, The Show Must Go On and “goodbye everybody, I've got to go,” endorse the 2014 edition of Queen and its glam-rock reviving pomposity? Here are three reasons why Freddie Mercury might approve of Adam Lambert and the dowager Queen, and one reason why he might not.
1. On the night after “supermoon,” Adam Lambert didn’t try to produce Mercury rising. Instead, for his first costume situation, he reached into the closet and pulled out a retro George Michael look, complete with shades, a dark shadow of facial scruff and studded black leather garb. Vocally, Lambert doesn’t possess the richness of Mercury, but his swagger comes naturally and the agile tenor didn’t miss a note all night, swooping easily up to high places when required. The first four songs – Now I’m Here, Stone Cold Crazy, Another One Bites the Dust and Fat Bottomed Girls – hit hard and relentlessly. Tushy ladies may make the “rockin’ world go around,” as Lambert asserted, but a bluesy backbeat doesn’t hurt either.
2. Mercury might not recognize what passes for rock ’n’ roll today. Oh, bands still rock convincingly enough, but somewhere along the way the roll was lost. As well, squealing guitar solos – a staple in the day – are long passé. Nobody told original guitarist Brian May, a virtuoso with a taste for stomps, chugs and solo flights, and nobody told a bluesy rhythm section that included bassist Neil Fairclough and original drummer Roger Taylor (with his son Rufus Taylor on drums and percussion). Also, all manner of solos happened – an old-school indulgence that Mercury would recognize. At one point, on the B-stage, the astrophysicist May spoke about how travelling at the speed of light would produce a trip that might seem like it took no time at all to an astronaut, but would actually eat up a hundred years of earth time. Later, during an interminable solo by May (who played various over-driven melodies against a starry backdrop on the giant, circular screen behind him), I knew just what he meant.
3. Though the sexual inclinations of Mercury were a source of intrigue, the openly gay Lambert lives and works in a much more liberated age. A showman who we can euphemistically describe as flamboyant, for Killer Queen, Lambert reclined on a regal half couch, with a bottle of champagne in one hand and a hand-fan in the other. He cheekily played with the line “guaranteed to blow your mind,” but turned more serious about all of us of looking for ways to fill our emptiness as we searched for “somebody to love,” which is also the title for a gospelish hit track off Queen’s A Day at the Races from 1976. Later, for the triumphant, anthemic encore set of We Will Rock You/We Are the Champions he appeared with an effeminate crown and a leopard skin get-up, just in case anyone still hadn’t connected the dots.
4. Let him go. (We will not him go!). One wouldn’t imagine the stylish Mercury condoning the gold-lamé blouse May wore for the opera buffa shenanigans of Bohemian Rhapsody, but, more seriously, would he abide parts of the original 1975 recording being used in a 2014 concert? A tape of Mercury’s studio vocals and live concert footage were also used for the unplugged Love of My Life, though May and the audience sang most of it. Nice touches, but how much Mercury is required? On the wistful These Are The Days of Our Lives, Roger Taylor sang “you can't turn back the clock,” and yet the home movies of the band in its youth were screened to sappy effect. It’s a rock and roll show, not a Mercury tribute. It’s also 2014, and about time the band moves on and calls itself simply “Queen” again, dropping the plus-Lambert tag. Mercury’s legacy is assured; there’s no need to continue the memorial. As the man sang himself: “If I'm not back again this time tomorrow, carry on, carry on, as if nothing really matters.”
Queen + Adam Lambert plays Montreal’s Bell Centre, July 14; and returns to Toronto’s Air Canada Centre, July 28.
Editor's note: The original version of this story incorrectly stated that Freddie Mercury wrote Who Wants to Live Forever and The Show Must Go On. Brian Ma wrote Who Wants to Live Forever. The Show Must Go On is credited to Queen.

Concert Review: Queen and Adam Lambert did Freddie proud at the Air Canada Centre
Rebecca Tucker | July 14, 2014 2:38 PM ET
More from Rebecca Tucker | @rebeccatee
Brian May of Queen and singer Adam Lambert perform at the Forum on July 3, 2014 in Inglewood, California.
Let’s just get this out of the way: Adam Lambert is no Freddie Mercury.
That’s not a jab. Nobody will come close to holding a candle to the iconic Queen frontman, which is precisely what makes seeing Queen in 2014 somewhat of an oddity. The British rock group’s defining feature — with apologies to Brian May’s hair — was the vocal prowess and onstage charisma of its late singer, which, on paper, makes the idea of mounting a world tour at this stage in the game seem like an exercise in futility at best; one likely to fail at worst. Bassist John Deacon knew it: that’s why he’s only joined former bandmates Brian May and Roger Taylor onstage twice since Mercury’s death in 1991.
So, really, in 2014 what you’re getting is 50% of Queen, minus Freddie, plus support. Kind of a tough sell.
Fortunately for the support (again, not a jab), the remaining members of Queen not quite ready to hang up their hats are in as fine form as you could expect from a pair of sexegenarians — and they know we all miss Freddie. That is why the best (and most touching) parts of Queen and Adam Lambert’s Sunday night show at the Air Canada Centre involved Mercury — or at least the spectre of him.
It happened first when May stepped out to the front of the stage to perform Love Of My Life, a song that, when Mercury was around, the pair would perform together. And so it was that on the second verse, the large Q-shaped screen above May faded to Mercury performing the song as the iconic guitarist continued to pick away onstage below him. And then later, rather than struggle through the lightning-paced harmonic arrangements of Bohemian Rhapsody, the group deferred to the track’s music video, closing the song with Mercury trading the song’s final pair of “nothing really matters” with Lambert.
Incorporating Mercury into the show was a brilliant move, not least of all in execution — if you happened to have been watching the screen rather than the stage, he may as well have actually been there. But it was smart mostly because, without Freddie, Queen would have just been another rock group with a particularly good guitarist. With him — because of him — they became legends.
Lambert, meanwhile, is a talented vocalist with impressive range, deeply powerful pipes and a taste for the flamboyant not unlike Mercury’s (though, it’s unlikely you’d have seen the Queen frontman sporting Lambert’s spiked bolero). He did the songs justice, adding his particular brand of vocal flair to May and Taylor’s impeccable musicianship. Lambert’s voice isn’t Freddie’s — the American Idol vet’s loose modern-pop warble is in many ways the opposite of Mercury’s tightly controlled vocal style — but it’s tough to hold that against him, considering. And where he legitimately faltered — in stage presence, mostly, which all too often amounted to standing idly until his next vocal cue — May and Taylor stepped in, with the former in particular taking any and all opportunity to prove that, as an axe-man, he’s still got it. (Having said that, a 15-minute distorted guitar solo interlude midway through the night was … a bit much.)
Aside from a fumbled Under Pressure and rendition of Crazy Little Thing Called Love that seemed to have had all the wind knocked out of it, the performance was tight, the setlist was an expertly crafted mix of glam-rock bombast and down-tempo sentimentalism and the staging itself was old-school rock and roll decadence, dry ice and all. The only thing missing was Freddie — but, as May said ahead of Love Of My Life, when a lot of good people get together and sing, sometimes magic happens. So he was there after all, wasn’t he?

Here’s Why Adam Lambert Is The Most Ab Fab Glam Rock Star Ever—Photos
Posted by Maxine Page on 07/14/2014 at 8:29 AM News
Popdust HEARTS Adam Lambert.
The 32-year-old may have been beaten to the season 8 American Idol winner’s crown by Kris Allen, but—let’s face it—he’s the real winner, hands down, when it comes to most ab fab glam rock star EVER.
This year Adam has been touring with Queen’s Roger Taylor and Brian May throughout North America, and although there will never ever be another Freddie Mercury, Lambert has been giving the late singer a total run for his money, and along the way he’s earned praise for his own unique vocal style and expertise—receiving thumbs up from critics wherever he performs.
But, hey, let’s just forget Adam’s immense talent for one minute—let’s just take him at face value—is there anyone else out there as inherently FABULOUS as the DIVINE MR. LAMBERT?
We think not—and here’s our proof…

Adam Lambert Takes His Perfectly Marvelous Self To Montreal, Happy ‘OITNB’ Isn’t Cancelled
July 14th, 2014
Sorry, I just couldn’t be bothered to write Orange is the New Black in the title. It’s just so long.
You know what else is long? The time since we last saw Adam Lambert! I realize that sentence doesn’t really make sense, but you know where I’m going with it.
The singer, and new Queen frontman, was spotted in Montreal today, looking cute and chatting with fans before hopping into a taxi. Hopefully he enjoys the day before he has to go rock out tonight.
Before performing at the Bell Center in Montreal with Queen, Adam Lambert went out in the streets of Montreal to do some shopping and eat on July 14, 2014. Not long after getting off the cab, Adam's friends pulled out the map of the city to find their way. They stopped by American Apparel on avenue Mont-Royal and purchased a shirt that he wore right away. Later Adam was spotted getting his car on his way to the concert.
Adam Lambert left his hotel around 2PM in Montreal on July 14, 2014 with a friend. He saw a group of 3 fans on the sidewalk so he decided to talk to them before his taxi arrives. He had fun and seemed very happy to see the girls.
Q3 -- Check out the bracelet above right -- it matches his concert necklace.

@lambertizeme: @adamlambert is not happy about sharing his couch with @drbrianmay in #Montreal #queen
Q+AL is headed back to the USA
Next stop will be Adam's first performance in the "City of Brotherly Love". Yes, he played in the Philly suburbs (Upper Darby, PA) but never in the actual city of Philadelphia.
Queen also played in Upper Darby before they made it to Philly -- and they played the same theater.
I have no idea what the Philly show will be like but this city was the site of many, many epic shows. And here are two of them:
Upper Darby Tower Theater
January 31, 1976 Queen, The Night at the Opera Tour
February 1, 1976 Queen, The Night at the Opera Tour
February 2, 1976 Queen, The Night at the Opera Tour
August 12, 2010 Adam Lambert, Glam Nation Tour
The next time Queen played Philadelphia (November 23 and November 24, 1977), they were booked into an arena -- the Spectrum -- the predecessor to Philadelphia's Wells Fargo Center.

Jusqu'à la fin du concert, le guitariste a multiplié les solos, grattant sa guitare avec une intensité foudroyante.
Taylor a aussi eu droit à ses quelques minutes de gloire avant que Lambert ne revienne sur scène pour un Love Kills assez convaincant.
Si We Will Rock You a électrisé la foule au rappel, la dernière pièce, We Are the Champions, l’a complètement achevée. Ça rockait autant sur scène (avec un May aux couleurs du Tricolore) que dans les gradins.
En fin de parcours, alors que les musiciens venaient tout juste d’entamer l’emblématique Bohemian Rhapsody, Freddie Mercury est une fois de plus apparu sur l'écran géant, joignant sa voix et sa lumière à cet opéra rock qui a fait la renommée du groupe. En dépit du talent indéniable de Lambert et du génie de ces vieux routiers du rock, on n'a pu s'empêcher de penser que pour briller, Queen a besoin de Freddie.

Adam Lambert has given many big shoes to slipping into the clothes of the time Freddie Mercury on tour.
On Monday, the former American Idol participant trod the boards at the Bell Centre alongside two veterans of Queen, Brian May and Roger Taylor, with the challenge of reviving the repertoire of the legendary British band.
When you know the reputation of showman singer idolized death in 1991, we said that it was almost lost a bet in advance for Lambert. Difficult to win at the game of comparisons with Mercury singing classics like Somebody to Love and Crazy Little Things Called Love.
I was wrong about the singer behind the radio tubes "Whataya Want From Me" and "If I Had You" impressed yet despite high expectations. When Lambert took the stage, dressed in leather from head to feet, the shouts of the crowd peaked rarely matched in early together.
The early thirties has such charisma and such a presence on stage that you almost forget that this show sometimes feels warmed. Because even if Lambert breathes refreshing theatricality to a directory that has accessed the pantheon of rock, musically, his contribution ultimately brings nothing more that could offer the last compilation of the greatest hits of Queen who, remember has still sold over 300 million albums in his career.
Burst of nostalgia
Through songs, we even begin to wonder what prompted guitarist Brian May and drummer Roger Taylor, now in his mid-sixties, to embark on yet another tour to replay songs that have propelled the top their fame in the 1970s and 1980s (after doing the same with Paul Rodgers there a few years ago).
We can probably assume that it is a revival of nostalgia that prompted them to tour again, 23 years after the tragic death of their leader. This is at least what had to convince the thousands of spectators gathered at the Bell Centre to purchase tickets.
Monday evening, music lovers in the throes of nostalgia have also not hide their pleasure, savoring the "riffs" if known or Under Pressure Another One Bites the Dust. Before the concert began, the enthusiasm of the audience was palpable.
Admittedly, this unlikely marriage intergenerational gave right to some pleasant surprises, including a "Killer Queen" quite tasty, while Lambert was lying on a purple couch playing divas drinking champagne.
rock solos
The singer was overshadowed a few songs, leaving May alone under the spotlight with his guitar. He performed I Still Love You, helped the public who completed the verses. His late friend Freddie arrived as reinforcements in a projected on a giant video screen. We had chills! Until the end of the concert, the guitarist multiplied solos, strumming his guitar with lightning intensity.
Taylor also got his few minutes of fame before Lambert comes back on stage for Love Kills convincing enough.
If We Will Rock You electrified the crowd recall, the last piece, We Are the Champions, has been fully completed. It rockait both on stage (with the colors of the Tricolore May) than in the stands.
In the end, while the musicians had just begun the iconic Bohemian Rhapsody, Freddie Mercury is once again appeared on the big screen, joining his voice and light in this rock opera is renowned group. Despite the undeniable talent of Lambert and engineering of these old timers rock, we could not help thinking that to shine, Queen Freddie needs.
Queen: "Adam Lambert é mais apropriado do que Paul Rodgers"
Traduzido por Danilo F. Nascimento | Fonte: Blabbermouth
A contestada união entre uma das maiores bandas de todos os tempos (ou o que restou dela) com o cantor pop Adam Lambert parece ter, infelizmente, se consolidado.
Há quem diga que a banda já tenha planos para gravar um álbum de inéditas com o cantor em futuro próximo.
Recentemente, Brian May e Roger Taylor disseram ser mais apropriada a parceria com Adam Lambert, em relação à última com Paul Rodgers. Taylor falou a respeito:
"Paul tem uma das melhores vozes do rock, mas é mais orientada para o blues ou soul. Com todo respeito a Paul, eu diria que Adam é mais apropriado para o nosso material e mesmo assim tivemos ótimas turnês com Paul. Acho que os estilos se combinam de uma melhor maneira."
Confira vídeos da mais recente apresentação do grupo:
O talento e a versatilidade técnica de Lambert, como cantor, é inquestionável, mas vê-lo envolvido com o Queen, de alguma forma, chega a ser um sacrilégio.
Infelizmente, Brian May e Roger Taylor parecem não possuir a mesma sapiência e sabedoria de John Deacon, que soube a hora certa de parar, de deixar a marca e o legado construído descansar em paz. Uma pena!

Queen: "Adam Lambert is more appropriate than Paul Rodgers"
Translated by Danilo F. Birth | Source: Blabbermouth
The union of disputed one of the greatest bands of all time (or what's left of it) with pop singer Adam Lambert seems to have unfortunately been consolidated.
Some say that the band already has plans to record a studio album with singer in the near future.
Recently, Brian May and Roger Taylor said was more suitable to the partnership with Adam Lambert from last with Paul Rodgers. Taylor talked about:
"Paul has one of the best rock voices but is geared more towards blues or soul. With all due respect to Paul, I would say that Adam is more appropriate for our stuff and still had great tours with Paul. Guess the styles combine in a better way. "
Check out the latest video presentation of the group:
The talent and versatility of the technique Lambert, a singer, is unquestionable, but seeing him involved with the Queen, somehow gets to be a sacrilege.
Unfortunately, Brian May and Roger Taylor does not appear to have the same wisdom and wisdom of John Deacon, who knew the right time to stop, leaving the brand and the legacy built rest in peace. A pity!
Three reasons Freddie Mercury might approve of Queen + Adam Lambert (and one reason he might not)
Brad Wheeler, The Globe and Mail

Artist Queen + Adam Lambert
Venue Air Canada Centre
City Toronto
Date Sunday, July 13, 2014
A forthcoming album from the bombastic English rockers is apparently to be titled Queen Forever. After 40 years in the business and after improbably surviving the loss of iconic singer Freddie Mercury in 1992 due to complications caused by AIDS, “forever” seems like a more approachable goal than ever. With the former American Idol runner-up Adam Lambert playing queen for the day as the band's featured touring vocalist these days, the flashy troupe gave an extravagant, high-energy, old-fashioned arena rock show to a sold-out, whipped-up Air Canada Centre audience on Sunday. Would Freddie Mercury, who sang Who Wants to Live Forever, The Show Must Go On and “goodbye everybody, I've got to go,” endorse the 2014 edition of Queen and its glam-rock reviving pomposity? Here are three reasons why Freddie Mercury might approve of Adam Lambert and the dowager Queen, and one reason why he might not.
1. On the night after “supermoon,” Adam Lambert didn’t try to produce Mercury rising. Instead, for his first costume situation, he reached into the closet and pulled out a retro George Michael look, complete with shades, a dark shadow of facial scruff and studded black leather garb. Vocally, Lambert doesn’t possess the richness of Mercury, but his swagger comes naturally and the agile tenor didn’t miss a note all night, swooping easily up to high places when required. The first four songs – Now I’m Here, Stone Cold Crazy, Another One Bites the Dust and Fat Bottomed Girls – hit hard and relentlessly. Tushy ladies may make the “rockin’ world go around,” as Lambert asserted, but a bluesy backbeat doesn’t hurt either.
2. Mercury might not recognize what passes for rock ’n’ roll today. Oh, bands still rock convincingly enough, but somewhere along the way the roll was lost. As well, squealing guitar solos – a staple in the day – are long passé. Nobody told original guitarist Brian May, a virtuoso with a taste for stomps, chugs and solo flights, and nobody told a bluesy rhythm section that included bassist Neil Fairclough and original drummer Roger Taylor (with his son Rufus Taylor on drums and percussion). Also, all manner of solos happened – an old-school indulgence that Mercury would recognize. At one point, on the B-stage, the astrophysicist May spoke about how travelling at the speed of light would produce a trip that might seem like it took no time at all to an astronaut, but would actually eat up a hundred years of earth time. Later, during an interminable solo by May (who played various over-driven melodies against a starry backdrop on the giant, circular screen behind him), I knew just what he meant.
3. Though the sexual inclinations of Mercury were a source of intrigue, the openly gay Lambert lives and works in a much more liberated age. A showman who we can euphemistically describe as flamboyant, for Killer Queen, Lambert reclined on a regal half couch, with a bottle of champagne in one hand and a hand-fan in the other. He cheekily played with the line “guaranteed to blow your mind,” but turned more serious about all of us of looking for ways to fill our emptiness as we searched for “somebody to love,” which is also the title for a gospelish hit track off Queen’s A Day at the Races from 1976. Later, for the triumphant, anthemic encore set of We Will Rock You/We Are the Champions he appeared with an effeminate crown and a leopard skin get-up, just in case anyone still hadn’t connected the dots.
4. Let him go. (We will not him go!). One wouldn’t imagine the stylish Mercury condoning the gold-lamé blouse May wore for the opera buffa shenanigans of Bohemian Rhapsody, but, more seriously, would he abide parts of the original 1975 recording being used in a 2014 concert? A tape of Mercury’s studio vocals and live concert footage were also used for the unplugged Love of My Life, though May and the audience sang most of it. Nice touches, but how much Mercury is required? On the wistful These Are The Days of Our Lives, Roger Taylor sang “you can't turn back the clock,” and yet the home movies of the band in its youth were screened to sappy effect. It’s a rock and roll show, not a Mercury tribute. It’s also 2014, and about time the band moves on and calls itself simply “Queen” again, dropping the plus-Lambert tag. Mercury’s legacy is assured; there’s no need to continue the memorial. As the man sang himself: “If I'm not back again this time tomorrow, carry on, carry on, as if nothing really matters.”
Queen + Adam Lambert plays Montreal’s Bell Centre, July 14; and returns to Toronto’s Air Canada Centre, July 28.
Editor's note: The original version of this story incorrectly stated that Freddie Mercury wrote Who Wants to Live Forever and The Show Must Go On. Brian Ma wrote Who Wants to Live Forever. The Show Must Go On is credited to Queen.

Concert Review: Queen and Adam Lambert did Freddie proud at the Air Canada Centre
Rebecca Tucker | July 14, 2014 2:38 PM ET
More from Rebecca Tucker | @rebeccatee
Brian May of Queen and singer Adam Lambert perform at the Forum on July 3, 2014 in Inglewood, California.
Let’s just get this out of the way: Adam Lambert is no Freddie Mercury.
That’s not a jab. Nobody will come close to holding a candle to the iconic Queen frontman, which is precisely what makes seeing Queen in 2014 somewhat of an oddity. The British rock group’s defining feature — with apologies to Brian May’s hair — was the vocal prowess and onstage charisma of its late singer, which, on paper, makes the idea of mounting a world tour at this stage in the game seem like an exercise in futility at best; one likely to fail at worst. Bassist John Deacon knew it: that’s why he’s only joined former bandmates Brian May and Roger Taylor onstage twice since Mercury’s death in 1991.
So, really, in 2014 what you’re getting is 50% of Queen, minus Freddie, plus support. Kind of a tough sell.
Fortunately for the support (again, not a jab), the remaining members of Queen not quite ready to hang up their hats are in as fine form as you could expect from a pair of sexegenarians — and they know we all miss Freddie. That is why the best (and most touching) parts of Queen and Adam Lambert’s Sunday night show at the Air Canada Centre involved Mercury — or at least the spectre of him.
It happened first when May stepped out to the front of the stage to perform Love Of My Life, a song that, when Mercury was around, the pair would perform together. And so it was that on the second verse, the large Q-shaped screen above May faded to Mercury performing the song as the iconic guitarist continued to pick away onstage below him. And then later, rather than struggle through the lightning-paced harmonic arrangements of Bohemian Rhapsody, the group deferred to the track’s music video, closing the song with Mercury trading the song’s final pair of “nothing really matters” with Lambert.
Incorporating Mercury into the show was a brilliant move, not least of all in execution — if you happened to have been watching the screen rather than the stage, he may as well have actually been there. But it was smart mostly because, without Freddie, Queen would have just been another rock group with a particularly good guitarist. With him — because of him — they became legends.
Lambert, meanwhile, is a talented vocalist with impressive range, deeply powerful pipes and a taste for the flamboyant not unlike Mercury’s (though, it’s unlikely you’d have seen the Queen frontman sporting Lambert’s spiked bolero). He did the songs justice, adding his particular brand of vocal flair to May and Taylor’s impeccable musicianship. Lambert’s voice isn’t Freddie’s — the American Idol vet’s loose modern-pop warble is in many ways the opposite of Mercury’s tightly controlled vocal style — but it’s tough to hold that against him, considering. And where he legitimately faltered — in stage presence, mostly, which all too often amounted to standing idly until his next vocal cue — May and Taylor stepped in, with the former in particular taking any and all opportunity to prove that, as an axe-man, he’s still got it. (Having said that, a 15-minute distorted guitar solo interlude midway through the night was … a bit much.)
Aside from a fumbled Under Pressure and rendition of Crazy Little Thing Called Love that seemed to have had all the wind knocked out of it, the performance was tight, the setlist was an expertly crafted mix of glam-rock bombast and down-tempo sentimentalism and the staging itself was old-school rock and roll decadence, dry ice and all. The only thing missing was Freddie — but, as May said ahead of Love Of My Life, when a lot of good people get together and sing, sometimes magic happens. So he was there after all, wasn’t he?

Here’s Why Adam Lambert Is The Most Ab Fab Glam Rock Star Ever—Photos
Posted by Maxine Page on 07/14/2014 at 8:29 AM News
Popdust HEARTS Adam Lambert.
The 32-year-old may have been beaten to the season 8 American Idol winner’s crown by Kris Allen, but—let’s face it—he’s the real winner, hands down, when it comes to most ab fab glam rock star EVER.
This year Adam has been touring with Queen’s Roger Taylor and Brian May throughout North America, and although there will never ever be another Freddie Mercury, Lambert has been giving the late singer a total run for his money, and along the way he’s earned praise for his own unique vocal style and expertise—receiving thumbs up from critics wherever he performs.
But, hey, let’s just forget Adam’s immense talent for one minute—let’s just take him at face value—is there anyone else out there as inherently FABULOUS as the DIVINE MR. LAMBERT?
We think not—and here’s our proof…

Adam Lambert Takes His Perfectly Marvelous Self To Montreal, Happy ‘OITNB’ Isn’t Cancelled
July 14th, 2014
Sorry, I just couldn’t be bothered to write Orange is the New Black in the title. It’s just so long.
You know what else is long? The time since we last saw Adam Lambert! I realize that sentence doesn’t really make sense, but you know where I’m going with it.
The singer, and new Queen frontman, was spotted in Montreal today, looking cute and chatting with fans before hopping into a taxi. Hopefully he enjoys the day before he has to go rock out tonight.
Before performing at the Bell Center in Montreal with Queen, Adam Lambert went out in the streets of Montreal to do some shopping and eat on July 14, 2014. Not long after getting off the cab, Adam's friends pulled out the map of the city to find their way. They stopped by American Apparel on avenue Mont-Royal and purchased a shirt that he wore right away. Later Adam was spotted getting his car on his way to the concert.
Adam Lambert left his hotel around 2PM in Montreal on July 14, 2014 with a friend. He saw a group of 3 fans on the sidewalk so he decided to talk to them before his taxi arrives. He had fun and seemed very happy to see the girls.
Q3 -- Check out the bracelet above right -- it matches his concert necklace.
