Awww, Brian says: I guess he's really not the new boy anymore...but what do you think of the other guy?
Toronto, July 28 - Under Pressure and Dragon Attack. Adam moving those hips and headbanging. Who does he think he is? A Rockstar?

Do we have this? Lynneville lynneville 32m View translation Queen + Adam Lambert: Seaside Rendezvous wp.me/p4m5lT-fM via @tonightatdawn Queen + Adam Lambert: Seaside Rendezvous July 27, 2014Events, Reviews, UncategorizedAdam Lambert, Atlantic City, classic rock, Freddie Mercury, New Jersey, Queen, Queen + Adam Lambert Text and image by Kimberly Cecchini If I believed in conjuring the dead, I might say that Freddie Mercury was channeled last night at the Atlantic City Boardwalk Hall. Adam Lambert’s flamboyant and confident stage presence was more tribute than imitation, embodying the spirit of the spirit of Queen’s eclectic catalog. Of course, no one can truly take Mercury’s place, but, to answer Brian May’s question last night, I joined the audience in an energetic approval of the “new guy’s” performance. Lambert’s performance in Killer Queen in which he coyly laid on a royal velvet couch and the way he orchestrated the crowd into a sing and repeat epitomized how he owned the frontman role. There was a natural chemistry between Lambert and his legendary bandmates. Roger Taylor grinned as Lambert led an impromptu “Happy Birthday” and they easily played off of each other while Lambert still showed them deference. Taylor and May played with an energy that convinced me that they still loved what they do. Dr. May did a rendition of “’39” and was joined by Taylor, Taylor’s own son, Rufus Tiger Taylor (who skillfully shared half of the percussion section), bassist Neil Fairclough and keyboardist Spike Edney on the front stage. Taylor followed it up with a heartwarming vocal solo on “These are the Days of our Lives”. Freddie Mercury and retired bassist, John Deacon, were tastefully choreographed into parts of the show through audiovisual magic. During a couple of numbers, clips of the band in their heyday were woven into the performance via a colossal screen framed with a steel “Q”. Lambert fluidly shared “Bohemian Rhapsody” alongside Mercury in a projection of archival footage with Freddie taking the last line, “Anyway the wind blows…”. The lights, Lambert’s costumes and the elaborate set with all it’s moving parts added to the dynamism that the band brought to the classic boardwalk theater. I would counter that all the mobile components were not a necessity because the band itself, from the birthday boy to the young singer, delivered enough energy and drama to create a rock experience fit for a Queen. |

That was so much fun, I got 13 out of 16!!! I actually had to sing the lyrics to get the name right on most of them LOL. I never was good at remembering names of songs. The Stevie Wonder song I recognized, but never knew the name of it. |

14 out of 16...and don't feel too bad about the other two because I never did get punk, first of all, and the second was mainstream dreck. Not that I'm bitter.

   This makes me so damn happy!! This has always been what i have wanted for album #3! I want Adam to make good music, his music! If "radio friendly" was something that was easy to figure out, then more artists would be getting that #1 single! RCA tried to release "radio friendly" instead of Adam's song & screwed up era 2 so badly! If he has good songs, great songs, with label support, radio will play it! There are so many songs out now & even in the recent past, that were not what one would consider radio friendly, but become big because they represented the artist and an authentic sound! I firmly believe this! I AM SO EXCITED!!!!!! ME TOO!!!! Ah, I'm so proud of him:))) Yes to everything you said! Adam has great fucking songs and thank gspot I am sane enough to know that without a doubt:) A few days ago, I was playing in my sandbox, which is to say my tumblr blog about Adam, and my little girl showed me how to create a playlist and have it as a bar at the bottom, just to make the experience even prettier:) So, I've spent some time relistening to his music and yes, I still FLOVE it!!! I chose five songs as perfect mood setters, for me, Voodoo and Loaded Smile, By the Rules, Broken English, CLYG and Feeling Good. Ah, the paradise:)))  And A3? A3 is going to be the bomb, mark my words! |
