Serious question here. Who, besides Adam F. Lambert, could have done this tonight?. Justin B? No. Bruno M? No. Jason D? No. David G? No. It's such an iconic moment. Who else could have done this? There must be someone.... Serious answer here. No one in the pop/rock scene currently. Not even close. Male or female. No other viable choice if Queen wanted it to sound like it did. I still can barely wrap my mind around the idea that Queen asked Adam to do this with them. They were being honored for their lifetime achievement, on a worldwide stage, and they could have had ANYONE. And they chose Adam. For the whole medley of 3 songs. My heart can barely take it. Our Adam... I hope we hear from Brian, Roger, and Adam how it all came about. |

Just got here. 135 pages! What shall I do? Are there highlights? I've watched the video 3 times so far and just can't believe it. I am a huge Freddie fan and seeing Adam asked to sing his part in a big show in Europe just makes me sooo happy!

I've been unable to tear myself away from the computer most of the day rewatching the epic performance, except to watch it on my tv. It was so amazing and it's all been said by now, but I came across these comments at www.fleckingrecords.co.uk/2011/11/wow-adam-lambert-rocks-the-emas-with-queen.html?#disqus_threadand wanted to share.. Posted by Russ "I'm old enough and lucky enough to have seen Queen in concert several times. My favorite band growing up. I'd heard about this guy Adam Lambert a little but didn't know much about him. When I heard he was going to sing with my favorite band, I thought it would be a disaster. Some kid who was trying to be another Freddie. But, I had to watch, it way my band.. They were great. But, I have to say, that kid was phenomenal. He knocked me off my self righteous pedestal He's not Freddie but I don't think he was trying to be. He has his own style and a voice like I've never heard before. Not Freddie, but just as good. I looked him up online and saw some of his other performances. He's really got talent. You can bet I'll be following his career from now on." posted by Bren "Adam and Queen go together like coffee and cream...getting richer with each note that was sung and played. It was an honour tonight to be present for this once-in-a-lifetime experience! This is like a perfect redemption in many ways... ...there was no need to introduce Adam, he gave it all up to Queen, because that's what this tribute was about. The audience gasped when they realized who was standing in the shadows and beginning to sing. Queen and Adam closed the show and were the last faces I saw as the end of the credits rolled by. My Twitterfeed is full to overflowing with people who have not been the traditional Adam fan, and they are oozing good energy and wonderful words about his glorious performance with this iconic band. Thank you, Brian May, for reaching out to Adam and for including him in this tribute to you and your fierce band. I've been a fan of Queen's music for years and I'm now a huge fan of Adam's music, as well. This was an ultimate performance for me...thank you!" |

www.popstar.com/News/Music/Article/182Adam Lambert Lends Voice to Queen for MTV Europe Music Awards PerformanceThe most notable thing about his performance was that Lambert did not make the slightest attempt to diminish Mercury's genius by trying to duplicate him. Instead, he infused his own brand of genius into the arrangement. It was an homage to one of Lambert's admitted heroes and a golden moment for he and his fans - perhaps for some Queen fans as well. more... THIS |

Hi cassie - to my ears it sounded like Adam used more vibrato than usual in this performance. I'm curious if you agree and if so, why do you think he chose to do that? |
