After multiple viewings and listenings I am sure we are developing our favorite bits of the performance, as separate from the overall complete awesomeness of the whole thing. A few have been mentioned, the walking backwards trying to cast a spell on Brian May during We are Champions; the hip pump on the "hard man" lyric in We Will Rock You; the turning his back on audience and walking back towards drummer during We are Champions; and on and on; when he sings the "my soul is painted like the wings of butterflies" (a line that could almost be used to describe Adam)... So what's your favorite bits either of performance aspect or singing aspect (again in no way diminishing the whole awesomeness)? Without a doubt, the dramatic opening. Adam in silhouette. Then the voice! OMG! I see I am not the only one who burst into to tears. It was such a beautiful way to start the song and is such a hauntingly beautiful song. The entire song is my favorite part. I have this performance saved on 2 TVs and 2 computers. It is in 4 rooms of my house! ;D Plus I made 2 DVDs as back up! I am so far down the rabbit hole, there is no getting me out, ever! I wonder how many of us burst into tears when we saw Adam in that silhouette? As soon as I saw that and the stage set-up, I realized this "tribute" was going to be all Adam with Queen. No one else was coming out. Me too - get out of my head! Although, I am not a crier, I just get frozen, spellbound, immoble. What an amazing experience to witness such power as it happened. Has anyone found any reviews written by anyone from the audience? Would love to hear a report from someone that was there! |

Ok just wanna say that I am loving the idea of Adam maybe singing with Queen for the Olympics..long shot yeah, but after the EMA's anything is poss...R and B obvs love him so....yeah. I think they not only love his voice but the youthful energy he brought to the performance...as well as the balls out flamboyance and showmanship that Freddie had when he performed....Universe...let's make this happen

Oh, if any of you get MTV U, the full show is on today at Noon, Pacific Time, I didn't think I got this channel, until I checked my guide. The one on the 15th on MTV says it is only an hour, but the MTV U one was on Monday and they show all of Adam. And if you don't want to recoird the whole thing, you can record the last ten minutes and then you will only have Adam and Queen. ;D

I love the part in TSMGO where Adam walks back and forth towards Brian, and Brian leans towards Adam, looking as if he's blowing him a kiss. Then Adam goes towards the audience with his arm wide open, and crossing his leg over the other singing, "I face it with a grin, I"m never giving in!" Gah I love that part, he sings it with so much power, it gets me every time. And yeah Burrito I love the bow, that was my first fave.
Yeah I also love the strut down the runway during WWRY, just so freaking sexy, so dramatic, so Adam. hah

So what's your favorite bits either of performance aspect or singing aspect (again in no way diminishing the whole awesomeness)? I have 3 favorites: 1. During ON WITH THE SHOW when he says, “My smile still stays on,” and takes that little bow, one booted foot behind the other. 2. When he is struts down the ramp during WE WILL ROCK YOU, so Adam. Yeah, that part get rewound a lot. That strut of his always got my attention during the GNT videos, too, especially as he was stalking on or off stage. 3, And, of course, the first few minutes as Adam is standing in the shadows and none of us could mistake the hair, the posture, the whole friggin’ attitude. I’ll leave all the deep vocal discussions to the rest of you and show my lack of depth with my choices. |

Also, have yall seen this? rocknewsdesk.com/world-news/freddie-will-rock-you-again/3875/Queen guitarist May reveals plans to release a brand new album – featuring vocals recorded by Mercury before his death more..... The article also says that they want to re-write "We Will Rock You" the musical. Maybe by then, Adam will want to star in that on Broadway! How awesome would that be? |

I found this at HooplaMagnet:This looks too short and it's written in (duh) Swedish. Swedish fan blog from the EMAs, with a few pics tyras.se/2011/11/08/adam-lambert/ |

mahaila--Sorry bb, the last thing I want for Adam is Broadway. I want albums and shit. Maybe a special perf singig with the Met Opera or something...but not a broadway show. I dunno if he would want that himself at this point...unless he has no other options. But I dont see that happening

One of the things that really struck me about this performance was the command of the stage and the presence Adam had. I think the tour has really helped with his self confidence and presence. I know he has always had unbelievable stage presence, but this performance was beyond unbelievable. It was, to use Adam's most unfavorite word,
EPIC!
I kept thinking, this man needs to perform in arenas!
