All those years later, his voice is just so much more rich. I made this comment to my mom the other day that at this point his voice feels like it's in 3D. I mean, you can almost touch it. I feel this about his voice too. To my ears, it's richer and more powerful, it has more colours, and---if anything---Adam has even more control over it than he did, say, a decade ago. I guess a lot of it comes down to having a great vocal technique from the outset. That technique has stood him in amazing stead: just look at the gruelling schedule he's put himself through on all the Queen tours. It's easy to forget how many celebrated singers (including even Freddie) could not sustain the kind of demanding singing that Adam regularly does (often in back-to-back concerts) without ending up with vocal issues.
Couldn't agree more, he not only is an amazing talent but also a great athlete. It's amazing how he's able to maintain his voice in such tremendous shape.
Also, I just love the photo of your Schnauzer! I had one too, for 15 years, her name was Zuza. She passed away in May 2018 and we still miss her every day.

It's very interesting to hear Adam sing "Whole Lotta Love" in 2020. It's always been a match made in heaven for him and we know that's when Spike first heard him. All those years later, his voice is just so rich, layered and opulent. I made this comment to my mom the other day that at this point his voice feels like it's in 3D. I mean, you can almost touch it. The many layers of his vocal capabilities are truly astounding, and he has even gotten better and more controlled. Amazing!!!!

We were just at a friends on Saturday night and were watching youtube vids and watched the performance of WLL from Idol

Now that I've picked myself up off the floor, I just want to say that I hope they keep WWL in the set list for a while! Been a long time since we've heard Adam sing it. If anyone can bring an orgy to a rock show, it's Adam Lambert. That song was made to put everyone into a hot, sexy sweat, and Adam did it in spades. I remember the Fantasy Springs version so well. Took us all a bit my surprise. I looked to me like Brian enjoyed playing it, too. Zeppelin songs are a guitar-players dream come true, just like Queen songs. Brian was in his element.
And the vids are great, everyone! I agree that Adam's voice sounds better than ever, if that's even possible. He's at his peak of strength and maturity and it shows. He just never sounds tired. He a miracle. Really.
WWTLF was a tour de force last night. He even added a few more power riffs. Is this guy human or what?

csimms4 sizzling63 Seriously, what a treat! Now I'm looking forward to Vegas even more. Who knew that was even possible.
Just wondering, could we perhaps get the thread started for that in the "Meet and Greet" section? Would be great to be able to have a roll call and share ideas, tips, etc. as we get ready for April.

SophieB i thought he looked a little sunburned... I don't recall Queen and Adam playing wll before... That is so nice of Adam to share the facetime Screenshot with us. Javi has a wonderful smile. The picture sends so much joy. I think this picture pretty much boils it down to what Adam was looking for and found in Javi. Youthful, not jaded, with a differnt view of the world.

It must have been a "whole lot of fun" for all of them to throw in this awesome surprise, and it looks like people totally loved it. Then of course there are still naysayers on Brian's IG post who complain that they don't like Adam's voice. While I think that everybody is free to celebrate and follow and appreciate artists to their liking, I find it almost disrespectful to leave a negative comment about Adam on Brian's IG. I made sure to leave an enthusiastic comment. Thankfully, the reactions are overwhelmingly positive.

Very exciting to hear Adam singing WLL again - and it draws together so many threads of his life which have lead to this point. His joy in it was palpable. That said...I think the close up photo of him above, that he himself posted, is just plain creepy! Don’t get it... Agree with everything! WLL had some special energy, and I am not talking the “usual” sexy vibes, I am talking the TRIUMPHANT vibes... the photo is unfortunately photoshopped to the point where it looks like a caricature ...everything is distorted and lifeless - IMO

Not even photoshopped, I guess it's just one of those Instagram filters. Don't care for that kind of stuff either. But Adam's gonna Adam, haha! Whatever makes him happy.
