Adam Lambert - he's OK, he's alright
 Adam Lambert (left) joins Queen guitarist Brian May as part of Queen + Adam Lambert, ably taking the part of the late Queen singer Freddie Mercury. MICHAEL LOCCISANO / Getty ImagesA.D. Amorosi, For The InquirerPosted: Monday, July 28, 2014, 1:08 AMUntil his death in 1991, Queen lead singer Freddie Mercury was one of Western music's great anomalies: a flamboyant, gay Persian gentleman with an octave-crashing range and operatic highs whose emotive voice graced some of rock's heaviest moments.
In so many ways, Mercury at the time seemed irreplaceable (and still does). Still, Queen's Brian May must have thought the heavens opened when American Idol contestant Adam Lambert - a flamboyant, gay Hoosier with an octave-crashing range - played with the guitarist during that show's 2011 finale.
Fast-forward to Saturday night: The 32-year-old vocalist has hitched his haughty wagon to the bombastic star of May and drummer Roger Taylor as Queen + Adam Lambert and presented a sold-out show at Atlantic City's Boardwalk Hall.
Lambert didn't try to imitate Mercury - he didn't need to. The manner in which his athletic range slipped casually throughout "Somebody to Love" (his shrugging take on "I'm OK / I'm alright" was fabulous) seemed as natural as breathing. So, too, was Lambert's theatrical leap into his upper register during "Who Wants to Live Forever," an easy somersault.
The young vocalist was comfortable in his own skin, flippantly singing the glam classic "Killer Queen," swigging champagne while stretched across a purple divan.

QUEENandADAM @alalwayz 3h Top two trending photos on Grammy.com now: #1 @adamlambert #2 Adam & @drbrianmay! Go QAL!!! @thegrammys
Perfect ending to perfect collaboration would be a concert DVD that wins a Grammy for Best Long Form Music Video- Queen, oddly enough, has never won a Grammy. |

That is a great resource...unfortunately it crashes on me in firefox a bunch. BUT when I can get it stable it's phenomenal I wish I could find a longer video of 39 from Boston - I'd love to hear Brian giving shout out to my second favorite band, Extreme...ah well. I wonder if they do something special tonight as the last night of the tour...Q3's best chance at getting Jailhouse Rock  |
