A celebration worthy of Freddie Mercury

NORJE. Is the queen not dead?
Well, not really. A flirtatious popsnöre in feather boa still see that this year's Sweden Rock tour will be a worthy tribute to a legend.
Queen with Adam Lambert surprises in the right direction.
Sasha Baron Cohen said recently in a fun interview that he turned down the film role of Freddie Mercury when the Queen did not want to emphasize the singer all the scandals but instead protect the band's trademark. The next question would be understood as the brand name for one of rock history's greatest teams feel after Queen continued after Mercury.
Sweden Rock turns 25 this year, as long as the group has been without its frontman. Adam Lambert, who now tours with original members May and Taylor know of course that it is impossible to shoulder Mercury velvet robe.
Popkillen trying its not on Freddie's facial expressions or theatrical side. He is content to flirt, dress right and dared to sing the shit out of him.
Suffice it surprisingly far.
unusual thing
First twenty minutes, it's like they want to prove something up there, we may hit non stop without pause. Until then, it seems the audience does not really know how to deal with the guy in the feather boa as flirt with them, only a quite rare thing at Sweden Rock.
When he clever explains that he is not trying to take Mercury's place, but that together we can honor him, it's like the audience exhale. After that the rest of the show, just a show with grandiose laser, a leaner band and guest singers who stay within their limits.
Then they have the right of good songs to work with too. Just look at the song list to the right. I do not think I seen a more hit-heavy concert in Norje.
In concluding "We are the champions" it feels just like that together, we did this. For a surprisingly strong tribute of both Mercury and tunes that never will die.

Queen + Adam Lambert succeed in the near impossible
June 10, 2016, at. 0:57 Joacim Forsén
Queen, Adam Lambert, Sweden Rock Festival Adam Lambert - with one of the rock world's greatest challenges on their shoulders.
Queen + Adam Lambert
Festival Stage, Sweden Rock
Audience: Secure 25000-30000 people, the festival seems to be here. The vast majority is further left to the last chord.
Duration: 1 hour and 50 minutes.
The best: "Another one bites the dust", "We are the champions", "Killer Queen" and fun "Stone Cold Crazy".
Worst: The 1950s-steeped "Crazy Little Thing Called Love" gets well very musical, the wrong way.
NORJE. It is so easy to sneer at the unholy alliance. A former Idol "committers and one of the world's most iconic bands.
I join the doubters. But sometimes it's nice just to crawl to the cross.
It's like the absent protagonist's spirit hovers over the chilly festival area already a quarter before the concert. It flutters in tygridån. A suggestive sound carpet is emerging more and more, until both a voice and accurate "One Vision" opens the show.
This course also is Freddie Mercury's evening miss none.
But it quickly becomes too Adam Lambert. With one of the rock world's greatest challenges on their shoulders makes the former "Idol" probably his life's work. No, he's not Freddie Mercury. How would he or anyone else could? But the way he takes on the role, singing, gestures. How he goes into the theatrical spectacle with all the body's nerve fibers. Lambert found really energy in each verse, chorus and second.
There is much to trip over in the evening but it is in humility and the attitude to the whole task as frontman changes everything. Already in its first real small talk he strikes clever though it is obvious, there will always be only one Freddie Mercury. Instead, the evening will be a tribute to the singer and the songs. An occasion to celebrate the music and icon.
It is understood the moment that raises the already euphoric audience mood one step. Sing vibrates all the way to the festival's most remote wokvagnar.
The show is perfectly framed. Everything from the extravagant light show to how efficiently they use the monitors. Or when the footage of Freddie breaks in and sing the end of "Love of My Life" and slipping into the "Bohemian Rhapsody". Impressive and heartbreaking.
Adam Lambert's voice does not have the gravitas and depth that Mercury but he impresses here with. In moments, such as in "I Want It All" or "Radio Ga Ga", he is eerily close.
And to see the aged original duo Roger Taylor and Brian May to experience his life's work, as close to the glory days are probably going to come, is a beautiful show in itself. They look so genuinely happy. Especially May.
It's probably fair to call him happy.
The songs in the evening: 1. One Vision 2. Hammer to fall 3. Seven Seas of Rhye 4. Stone Cold Crazy 5. Another one bites the dust 6. Fat Bottomed Girls 7. 8. Play the game Killer queen 9th Do not stop me now 10. Somebody To Love 11. Love of My Life (Brian May on vocals) 12. A Kind of Magic (Roger Taylor on vocals) 13. Drum Solo 14. Under Pressure 15. Crazy Little Thing Called Love 16 . I want to break free 17. I want it all 18. Guitar Solo 19. Tie your mother down 20. Bohemian Rhapsody 21. Radio ga ga
Encore 22. We Will Rock You 23. We are the champions
