Rock in Rio: Queen makes amazing show starts and the audience gasps
Daniel Outlander *

The public literally raved when the Queen, the most anticipated band of the night, entered the World Stage on the first night of Rock in Rio. The band, which features singer Adam Lambert in its new composition, literally "put to fail" and lifted up those who were lying on the City of Rock lawn, in Barra da Tijuca, West Zone of Rio de Janeiro. Promptly at 0h, the group immortalized by their participation in the inaugural event in 1985, reminded and paid homage to Freddie Mercury, lead singer of the original version.



Adam, in turn, showed his wide vocal range is match yes, but at no time tried to take the mastery won by Freddie. On the contrary, helps in honor of the eternal leader of the band.

Guitarist from the original version of Queen, Brian May is a spectacle. The musician, 68, shows that is in top form and that is an extreme phenomenon. At various times of the show, he performs with his guitar solos, tearing cheers all around. Halfway through the show, Brian ventured words in Portuguese and spoke to the audience doing, even what he called the "most selfie the universe," as he took a stand with two coupled action cameras, whose image was transmitted on screen. "You want to 'selfie'? So let's make the most 'sefie' of the universe," said targeting the cameras.

Roger Taylor, the band's drummer since 1970 is one that excels. The artist of 66 years is overcome and have very well on vocals, making the crowd delirious. But does not stop there. In a sort of "duel", he calls his son, Rufus Taylor, drummer of the band The Darkness, to the stage. Alternately and then together way, drummers earn the public.

Adam: the new king

Clearly the performative capacity and vocal singer Adam Lambert, not least was chosen to integrate this new phase of iconic band. But perhaps because the artist does not try to suppress the original version of the band and overcome the singer Freddie Mercury, put it one step higher. Adam knows it's not Freddie, but also does not try to be. Keeps its roots, his way of singing, his humor, his performance, which makes it even more charismatic and beloved by the public in this new phase of the band.

Queen back to the Rock in Rio 30 years later with tribute to Freddie Mercury
September 19, 2015
2:44 a.m.

The British group Queen returned to perform at the Rock in Rio late on Friday after 30 years of his first and historic concert at the festival with a tribute to vocalist Freddie Mercury, who died in 1991, and today has been replaced by the US Adam Lambert.

The presentation at the Rock in Rio's opening night in 1985 remains one of the most remembered and commented on these 30-year history of the festival and today inspired each chord Brian May and Roger Taylor.

Adam Lambert, who in January 1985 was not yet two years old and became famous after participating in the television show "American Idol" in the United States, today was up to expectations and delighted the audience that filled the City of Rock, It is true to its style and without trying to copy the softness Freddie Mercury's voice, while maintaining the extravagant look of the late singer.

The show opened with "One Vision", followed by "Stone Cold Crazy", two classics from a long list of 25 themes run on a presentation that lasted over two hours and made a pass for the entire history of the group.

The most emotional moment of the evening was when guitarist Brian May stood alone in the center of the stage and asked the audience, speaking in Portuguese, to accompany him and sang, "Freddie", the ballad "Love of my Life", precisely the music most remembered of that presentation in 1985.

In that show, Freddie Mercury force captivated the Brazilian public, which was not used to this kind of performances since, until that year, the country was out of the loop of the great music festivals because of the military dictatorship.

The band left his most famous songs to the end, first with "Bohemian Rapsody" to follow with "We Will Rock You" and "We are the Champions", ending a spectacular night with the same music that ended the presentation for 30 years.

Interview: Adam Lambert talks about stay in Brazil, music, gay activism, drag culture and more
On 09/18/15 at 13:07 By: Leonardo Torres | Adam Lambert, Interviews, Yeah! + POPLINE



Adam Lambert is spending some time in Brazil. Since last week in the country, it was divided between Rio de Janeiro and São Paulo, fulfilling the album release schedule "The Original High". The reason for coming is the tour as lead singer of Queen (Rio, SP and Porto Alegre), but he took the trip to promote his solo work as well. Hosted in one of the rooms at the Copacabana Palace, facing the beach, the US received the POPLINE the day before his concert in Rio there even for a special chat, involving music, gay activism, drag culture and even Ivete Sangalo, which he has understood that it is our biggest star, "the Madonna of you."

Very friendly, Adam granted the slipper interview finger and no stardom. He had just returned to Rio, from the show in São Paulo, and was tired, "wanting to take the night to drink water and sleep," but answered all questions and in the end also amended a Meet & Greet with fans Winners of promotions. Contact with followers, incidentally, is something he loves. But parties, for now, we have not found willingness to go here in Brazil. "The show is my party," he says.

Read hearing "Ghost Town", the single from the artist:

youtu.be/Ix8ocFEMa1o

First of all, I want to congratulate you because I saw a lot of pictures with his fans in Rio and Sao Paulo. That's very nice of you.
Oh, of course! Especially those who spend the whole day at the door of the places. I'm like, "My God, now go home! You have waited too! "It's been very, very, very cool.

And how was the show with the Queen in São Paulo?
It was wonderful! I felt great. The energy in the place was wonderful. People were singing everything, really passionate about, having fun. It was really a very good audience.

You sang "Ghost Town" for the first time with the Queen. How was that?
It was crazy! Actually, it was Brian's idea: "Why we do not do 'Ghost Town'?". And I was like, "Really?". He brought a whole new version of the song, which was very exciting. It's very cool. It is a rock version, and the cool thing is that joins the two worlds into one.

And made ​​news on the Billboard!
Yes, I saw it! (laughs)

You've come to Brazil to play with the Queen at Rock in Rio, where the band played an unforgettable show in 1985. The media and the public are expecting a great show again, possibly the best in the festival this year. You feel the pressure?
No. We did many shows together already. We toured the whole of last year, so I feel it's something that we know very well now. We get along very well on stage. We have a really good chemistry, and I think that will be really cool to show it to a wide audience [85,000 people, sold out]. It will be a bitch energy!



You arrived in Brazil last week. What you've done in addition to the commitments of the release schedule?
It has been only testing, disclosure ... and sleep. I've been very releasing my album in the last two months, so it's good to have some time to rest.

Or beach? [is just across the street and it's on the beach]
Not doing sun. It was raining all the time! I was very happy when I returned to Rio today and the sun came out.

Little party?
No ... No party ... The show is my party! That's what I feel it's like a party to me.

OK then. You did not do nothing. Let's talk about these new developments in his career. Many artists from "American Idol" disappear from the scene after losing a contract with the record company ...
Ahem ...

You are now with Warner, but got scared when he decided to leave the RCA Records?
Yes, I was a little nervous because I felt I did not know what would happen next. I just hoped it was the best. When I had the meeting with Max Martin and Shellback and we decided we would do a whole album together, I felt so much better! (laughs)

You have very special things on this album "The Original High" as the collaborations of Tove Lo and Brian May. What is the most special song for you and you would like to release it as a single?
Oh, I love them all! The crazy thing about this drive is that it has many potential singles, you know? All songs sound like radio hits ... in my opinion! (laughs) Yes, I love them all. For real. I think all could be on the radio.



You had these creative differences with RCA. Many artists claim, for example, because they can not release singles as the music they wanted. I think most people are unaware of these issues in the industry. In his career, the power and freedom do you have?
It's been a maturing process. There was a time when certain things happened because I was still learning. I'm lucky now because I have a wonderful team. My manager is amazing and this new relationship with Warner is very good. It is very familiar and very flexible. And I worked with great producers. This album is very strong, in my opinion, so any frustration or disappointment that I had in the past is in a situation much better now.

Max Martin and Shellback are the same producers of much of the "1989" Taylor Swift. But his record was not the same impact on the charts, because it is impossible ... it's kind on top of the world right now.
Yup! (laughs) It's like high school. Taylor Swift is the popular girl. The popular cheerleader. I know the popular cheerleader! That's it. (laughs)

But he was satisfied with the sales figures and chart positions of your disk?
You know, I think it's a little exciting compete in some way. It is sport type. Do you practice sport, because you want to win or score some points. It's fun, but it's not what I think of when I think of music. There's a song, and have the other, they are different. There is no reason to compare everyone all the time. This is something the industry. One of the things that makes me happy is that ordinary people who listen to music are not thinking in these dung (laughs). People listen to music and want to feel something. That's what I try to keep in my head. Music is not about, you know, competition.

In his other albums, it had a more different look, more camp. In the video for "Ghost Town", it is much simpler, common until. What prompted this change?
I just wanted to do something different, first of all. As an artist, I do not want to repeat, because it is boring. What I love about this album is that it is still 100% me, it's totally my voice. They [producers] did a wonderful job, helping me figure out how to put my voice on some songs: quiet moments, more drawn, more intimate. This album sounds like I'm singing in your ear. This is something that motivates me a lot, because it's new, more modern, has a little influence of the house and also the R & B on a few songs. So I think it's a new turn for me.

The Raja of "RuPaul's Drag Race" takes part in this clip. I wonder if you really follows the drag scene. Here in Brazil, gays LOVE this reality show.
(laughs) I love this program too! Raja is a good friend of mine. I've known her for ages. She actually did the hair and makeup for me and the dancers in my first tour. It was in the middle of the tour that she began to mount. So I'm her friend before she was drag. His name is Sutan and he is like family. One of the things I like about this album is that, more than any other, it shows my lifestyle. The disc shows and I'm going out at night, both in Los Angeles and in New York or anywhere else in the world. It sounds like the kind of music I listen to when I go to parties or when I give little parties at home - alone or with someone. That's how it sounds.

Miley Cyrus performed with a lot of drags of "RuPaul's" at the VMAs. Do you think people are more open to this universe today?
I saw! Things are definitely improving. I think the LGBT community is getting more mainstream, at least in the United States. I do not know here, but as I understand it here, is very open too ...

People love RuPaul.
RuPaul love! (laughs) I've been in the program since! It was very cool! I think a lot of fun drag. It is an element of community. In the video for "Ghost Town", most of the guests are my friends, so we went out and drank and shot the video! (laughs)

Many Brazilian fans were disappointed because you came here, but not for shows with your music ...
Furthermore!

Furthermore! Okay. (Laughs) Do you have plans to return?
I hope so! I have no plans yet, but it's something I want to do for sure! I'll start touring next year. I'm working on it right now, gathering ideas for the show. I will make Asia, Australia, New Zealand, then maybe ... I can come here? I hope so! I would like to.

US too.
You buy all the tickets? (Laughs) So come!

Certainly! What are you planning for this tour?
They are still only ideas. I'm still not planning it fully. I have some visual concepts only. Obviously it will be focused on this new album, but also bring my other hits and fan favorites. I pay attention to what the fans love in time for the setlist.



Got it. I now have a more complex issue. You've always been very open about their sexuality. In my opinion, there are some strange points in LGBT activism in pop music because most of the time are just straight women fighting for the rights of gays, like Madonna, Lady Gaga, Miley Cyrus. Where are the gay men doing it, you know?
Here! I'm here (laughter)

Yes, we now have Sam Smith too, which is great, but we can count on one hand the popstars out of the closet and fighting for LGBT rights. In contrast, pop music is a gay scene, which is a real paradox.
This question is really very good! I ask myself that all the time. It's funny, because, yes, most people listening to pop music and girls are gay. But most decision makers in the industry are heterosexual men. And ... I think that this should change. I would like to see more women making decisions on the radio, on the record ... But it's like that. I also think it's like crawling. One thing at a time. I think it's very easy to go crazy and alienate people, then you have a chance to really [to speak]. It is a very sensitive and fragile thing. For women singers, it is very exciting fight for gay rights, but there is not much risk involved. They will not suffer reprisal, you know? It is a thing of the time in the industry. I think it is improving and will change. I feel like I positioned myself very early in my career, and made many statements about the style of LGBT life, equality and discrimination. I am very proud of everything I said and did, and all the great moments I had. With this new album, I felt I had already done it, and it all built and took me to everything I'm doing now. My idea is now a post-gay mindset: because we still have to talk about it? I'm gay, 100%, totally proud of it, but I have already spoken of this. Let's move on. Being gay is not my whole life. I am human. So that's it.

The Marina and the Diamonds said for some time that some popstars explore the gay, talking about their support just to sell more singles and albums.
It is possible.

In your opinion, how important are the gays for pop music?
I think Marina raised an interesting question, and it may be the case, I do not know. I think an audience is an audience. I try not to separate my fans. My fans are my fans. Some are gay, some are straight, some are women. I try to create a base of diverse fans - of different nationalities, ages, ethnicities. That's what I find cool.

Niall Horan of One Direction said it was in favor of gay marriage in Ireland when the country was voting in this popular referendum, and people thought he was gay just because of that.
(lets out a laugh)

Do you think hetero famous men sometimes do not defend LGBT rights because of this kind of conclusion of public opinion?
Maybe. I think sometimes it's the media that emplaca these rumors. It's all media.

Excuse! (laughs)
No no! Not all the press. But things are not black and white. People can have an opinion or a feeling about something, and the media tries to exploit the idea or statement. Tries to make it more extreme than it really is. It turns the cordless phone of the game and of course the general public is affected by it. People see a headline, post on Facebook and "that's the story." Today, it happens even more, because we communicate a lot for Twitter, Facebook, and so are all words. It is human interaction. It is text, and you lose it. You can sit and talk to someone, look in his eyes, hear his voice, and understand what he feels and what he thinks. But in a text message, you do not have these elements. I think it's a tough time, because much of the intention to lose it.



Robbie Williams said he would like to partner with you.
Yes I saw!

You toparia?
Yup! Why not?

What is your dream partner?
I do not know…

You are with the Queen, which is like WOW.
I know! I think I've had my share, right? (laughs) But it would be too much to do something with Beyonce. The find amazing.

And I think this is the dream of most people.
Yup! (laughs) I sang with Lady Gaga in concert in Australia, and it was great fun too. I love her. I find it wonderful!

Finally, what you have heard recently?
I listen to everything! For real. I hear pop, dance ... I have heard Years & Years, they are very good. You know? I like a lot of house music in the UK at the moment. Very short things English. Gorgon City, Disclosure, Duke Dumont ... I love dance music!

Nothing Brazilian?
No! Someone touched something to me the other day, but I forgot the name ... It's something famous ... [someone about Ivete Sangalo]. Ivete! That! They played for me.

Did you like it?
Yes Yes! It is legal.

She's like our queen.
The Madonna of you! (laughs)
