Checking out Rufus' twitter and found an old retweet. I didn't realize the it was only the 2nd time queen had done this song live. Adam nails it, of course. How can he remember all of the words to so many Queen songs? twitter.com/DrBrianMay/status/547969116150439936 |

Definitely one of everybody's favorite singers who didn't win the prestigious award of being the American Idol, glam rock star Adam Lambert has gone so far from runnering-up in the competition's 8th season to many more successes in his exciting music career which keeps getting better and better. After two well-received studio albums (released with RCA Records), Adam has announced that he will be working with Warner Records to release his highly aniticpated 3rd album.
Here's some three reasons why you should be excited about the album.
1. Adam Lambert left RCA Records because the label wanted him to do an 80's cover album. He didn't have the heart to go through with that and literally the next day from leaving the label, Warner Records picked the glam rocker up and linked a deal with him. Warner Records will most likely be less restricitve against Adam and he will be much more free to explore his creative abilities.
2. Taylor Swift's 1989 producers will be working with Adam on this record. Johan Shellback and Max Martin produced the incredible 1989 album and just imagine the amazing ideas this duo can conjure up with Adam.
3. Queen may be involved in this upcoming album. Yes, the legendary band which gave us the timeless Bohemian Rhapsody have been on tour with Adam Lambert and who's to say they won't be featured in his new album? Adam definitely looks like he's fit in well with one of the greatest bands ever here.
In the end we probably won't know what to expect from Adam's newest album. But it sure looks like it will be an exciting and fun album for everyone! Let us know what you think the album will be like below!

Green On Seen: Midlife crisis? Adam Lambert + Me I’m getting old – no, really, I am. I’m too old for lots of things like certain clothes for instance; supertight look-at-me-I’m-gay tops are definitely out (with my chest they were never really in), as is dying my hair blonde or any other colour for that matter. And, I thought, I was well past forming unrealistic obsessions with pop stars. I have had them of course when I was younger: Adam Ant was one – I was particularly taken with his arms, David Sylvian from Japan was another and then there was John Taylor from Duran Duran too. My first crush though was on Marc Bolan, I had a huge poster of him on my bedroom wall and I don’t think I was even 10! But it was an uneasy relationship because that poster used to frighten me; I was convinced Mr Bolan’s make-up ran during the night – I’ve never been what you could call normal. But now, in my fortysomethings, I have fallen madly in love with Adam Lambert. Yes I have and I’ve only very recently discovered him thanks to the BBC showing the concert with him and Queen on New Year’s Eve. I didn’t see it live but I downloaded it a couple of days ago and I think I’m now onto my eighth viewing. And from those eight viewings I have come to the firm conlusion that he is the perfect man for me. I want to marry him now! He’s cheekily handsome, glam, camp, funny and just comes across as a fabulously genuine person…oh, and he can sing a bit too. Actually, he is one of the best vocalists I have ever heard. And now he’s coming to Liverpool. Queen + Adam Lambert are playing the Echo Arena February 26. What do I do? Go to the show obviously – if I can get a ticket – but should I try and use my press connections and see if I can get a little bit closer, speak to him maybe? But then what if I did and he turns out to be an idiot – shattered dreams and all that. Or, even worse, he is absolutely charming and I turn out to be an idiot! Maybe I’ll just stalk him instead.  |

The "Tom of Finland" reference is hilarious. Maybe during KQ a little bit of Aubrey Beardsley mixed in.

Review of O2 shows from a post on Queenzone.. just Adam bits.
"Adam was great both nights. Having seen him New Year's Eve I had already bought into him being more than up to the task. He's improved immensely since the 2012 shows, I have bootleg videos of some of those. But what was new to me was how he worked the crowd, he really can get them with him just as well as Freddie did (and I was there and exeperienced Freddie live, twice)."

'One of the best concerts this writer has ever experienced at the O2'
The evening as a whole is a spectacular celebration, one of the best concerts this writer has ever experienced at the O2. Lambert, a man who decided to enter American Idol while out of his mind on mushrooms at Burning Man has not only the theatricality and the sheer vocal chops but also the assured confidence to front a band like Queen. Sure, at times the outfits make it feel like ‘Tom Of Finland Sings the Hits Of Top Gear’ - but there is so much genuine passion, affection and skill involved that it’s impossible to dislike. They duck 'Bohemian Rhapsody' a bit - choosing to leave sections to the video - but it all so moving that one can’t complain.
It is intended as the highest compliment that this is second only to seeing Mercury in his prime.

Fun review. (The old bat in me sure wishes people or staff would proofread their articles. Lot's of typos, etc.) |
