I'm 62 years old and my brother was a dyheart.queen fan!!! So I knew all there songs...I first heard Adam on his audition for American idol and followed him all the way through...So when I heard he was going to be joining queen I was delighted...There couldn't be a better person than Adam for queen...I didn't mention he's such a nice person..Welcome to the Glamberts!!!
I’ve seen them in concert 13 times, and Adam solo quite a few times, also, and both are great. I agree with you about Roger. I’ve been a Queen fan since the 70s, but until this documentary, The Show Must Go On, I never knew he was so brutally hilarious.
Adam is the best singer of the world. He is a lyrical tenor with a multioctave range. Live in concert he is unbelievable, he hit notes you dont know exists. Queen with Adam are more popular now than they ever been. I think that Adam achieve the impossible fronting Queen with class and grace, and be true to himself. Thanks for your great review and Adam is an amazing solo artist, you should look at his new album Velvet, its a masterpiece.
Uh
Lots of singers but pop/rock for sure. the most techincal
Indeed. Velvet is a masterpiece by a Master. QAL is such a joy. So grateful for each member of the group that they found each other. OH, especially for Spike's getting a chill during a Whole Lotta Love & the rest is the BEST.
Adam is AMAZING!!!!!!!
Best singer in the world would be Dimash! Adam Lambert is great for sure....Buh check out Dimash SOS and go from there.
@@rjh9220 Adam Lambert is more amazing than Dimash in terms of technique and vocal ability .... I watched many presentations of Dimash on TH-cam, he is totally a master in falsetto, he can sing very loud with his ethereal and touching falsetto. But the consistency of the whole mix is not so good compared to Adam (sorry to say), his mix is very thin, less dense and with litlle resonance, sometimes stretching. And I can clearly hear some breaks through a few different registers in his live performance (rare, but it does). He's very dynamic, but less dynamic than Adam, except in his falsetto realm (but you can't expect many different colors of the falsetto, it's limited in terms of quality)... In fact, I remember a performance by Dimash, sometimes singing like an opera singer, sometimes like a pop star, so he uses the falsetto to hit super high notes, these are much more different and inconsistent sounds that make it strange this passage of registers (from low notes for the highest notes). Besides, Dimash has a classical musical background, and that always prevails in his singing style ... That is, Rock is not his forte ... Adam manages to do well even at Led Zeplin.
Hi. I saw Queen + AL in France in concert on November 2017 (I didn"t knew Adam at that time) He totally blew me away!!! Back home, I watched videos and read interviews and I was converted (or perverted 😜) by Adam Lambert! I love his singing, his authenticity, his vibes! GLAMBERT FOREVER 😍
As Brian May said "Adam has a one in a billion voice" and that he "is a gift from God".
There is no other singer right now that can do what Adam does with his instrument. Effortless with clarity, pitch perfect and that tone of his.
Someone asked him in an interview what was his highest note he can sing...he laughed and said he doesn't know or care he just goes.for it...that is Adam.
ehhhh I wouldn't say "a gift from god...." I think they that give him a compliment.
@@MasiaDe Brian May saaid gift from God. Direct quote
MasiaDe More than a compliment! ❤️
@@seals48100 yes, and Brian's repeatedly said "gift from God" ! 💖
And Roger Taylor has said "Nobody can outsing Adam"
Saw Queen + Adam in 2014. Phenomenal show!
By the time Adam Lambert sang Whole Lotta Love on American Idol I was already a die hard fan for life. But I’m getting a huge thrill from watching so many people now climbing on the Adam train after watching The Show Must Go On. Thanks for sharing your story and welcome aboard! So many old school Queen fans are now Adam Lambert fans and the reverse is also true. Every Adam fan I know is now also a die hard Queen fan.
Old Queen fan got to see Freddie several times and I love this new era. Adam Lambert has brought Queens music back to the kids and that is wonderful. Also a fan of Adams since Idol and loved that he and Queen teamed up. Live blew me away and hope to see more of them when this virus crap is over.
Thank you for speaking out for Adam❤️ He definitely deserves this😎💃🥰😱
Adam has helped bring the Queen catalogue of songs back for a whole new generation of fans, Freddie's memory and music will live on through Adam. Adam's vocals are unbelievable and that's a big part of what makes the Queen songs sound current.
Adam is PERFECTION.
So glad you finally watched The Show Must Go On. I was lucky enough to be at American Idol when Adam first performed with Queen and was VERY LUCKY to be backstage and was talking to Adam, Brian, and Roger, and said to them that they just had to perform together AGAIN. They all looked at each other and smiled, and said, "Yea, I think that we probably should", and the rest as they say, is history. I met Adam before AI and always knew he would be a huge star someday, but never imagined he would one day front my FAVORITE BAND of all time. So needless to say, I was so excited about the documentary 'The Show Must Go On' and I loved every second of it. Have watched it 37 times now. LOL And I'm so very proud of Adam. I don't think ANYBODY else could have filled Freddie's shoes as well as Adam does. And I'm so happy that he is giving the younger generation the chance to see Queen live. I was also lucky enough to have seen Queen perform with Freddie a number of times, and in my opinion, they are JUST AS AMAZING WITH ADAM as they were with Freddie.
There are no words to describe how amazing Adam Lambert sounds live. His stage presence is incredible, the insanely amazing vocals, a drop dead good looking, he really shines on stage. He is one of a kind, beautiful, talented beyond and very humble what a combination. And, Lord, what a voice! "Gift from God"
@@OliverShillito I liked your review because it is honest and principled.
I've seen Queen + Adam Lambert 5 times so far (had a ticket for Berlin in June this year and am happy they rescheduled for 2021) and I will ALWAYS go back for more for as long they will tour. Their shows are amazing and uszally they convince even the most persistent critics among the old Queen crowd. I've seen them walking out of venues, happy smiles on their faces, gushing about "that young boy", after they stood or sat with stoic expressions before the concert started.
QAL really are THAT good live on stage!
My husband, who saw Freddie live twice, was not happy when I bought tickets to see Q+AL last year. This documentary converted him, too, and seeing them live made him a huge fan of this new life breathed into a legendary band. The Live Around the World DVD is a must see!!!
Adam's voice is insane. So powerful and effortless. I remember his first appearance on GLEE where he sang Marry the Night. Unbelievable. The lead cast male said later "I wonder what mad scientist lab experiment made that voice". There is no other voice anywhere that powerful and clear and such control.
If Adam would have imitated Freddie it never would have worked. You can see by how he interprets the songs that he's a seriously talented man in his own right. Brian calls him a gift from God. There is no higher praise than that!
That clip you showed about Whole Lotta Love was what drew all the messaging back and forth with the members of Queen to check out this guy on American Idol and the rest we know is history
I enjoyed your review because you seem honest and sincere. I think Adam is a fantastic frontman for Queen. He has the voice and stamina for sure and in addition he has charisma and stage presence. Adam is an awesome solo artist as well. Good luck with your channel.
Adam is an AMAZING Singer and performer. He is the Best male singer of his generation!!! His voice is Beautiful and Powerful.
I mean he is not bad have you HEARD Marc Martel and Gary Mullen
@@megalo7063 Adam is at a much higher level vocally than Marc. The comparison here is who sings better, who has the best technique and not who imitates Freddie better. Adam has the greatest vocal range, the greatest flexibility and clarity of voice. Marc puts a lot of pressure on his voice, especially on the higher notes and it causes distortion of his voice. In other words, Marc tensions his voice to maintain similarity with FREDDIE's voice. Besides, Adam is a better performer than Marc.
See what Marc Martel thinks about Adam Lambert:
"In my opinion, Queen has the best male singer in the world singing for them," says Martel of Lambert. "I went to see their show in New York, and the guy doesn't make an effort or miss a single note. He's an incredible virtuoso."
www.usatoday.com/story/life/music/2014/09/03/marc-martel-paradise-premiere/14996237/
Even the professional Impersonator admires Adam's talent and recognizes that he is the right guy to be on Queen ... But his fans are not able to recognize that fact.
@@megalo7063 Why are you trolling Adam Lambert reaction videos? Marc has been in the business over 20 years and is still a nobody. He didn't even know who Freddie was but learned to mimic him to win a contest because his HOMOPHOBIC band was failing. At least Gary was a life-long Freddie fan. Marc's solo career failed also so all he has left is being a tribute artist of someone he didn't even know. He keeps begging his fans (who he only got because of Queen) for money. LOL.
Welcome to our world. When i first saw his Never close our eyes video i thought it was autotuned and commercial song. Because no one's voice is that perfect and powerful. And then i heard his live versions. Now i know nothing else except Adam. If i listen to other music then i feel like i was cheating on him 😅😂
@@OliverShillito exactly. I love yhe video because not many people talks about him and that's a good thing because it's easier to find all of them and i can watch them all
@@OliverShillito :/ they think he's "screaming" when he's actually belting. XD people don't know much outside of "falsetto" probably don't know what a hard mix is or metal.
Adam Lambert's voice is fuller, richer and more consistent than most ternors, especially in the higher notes. His powerful voice is incredible.
@@cko1005 consistency is something he probably trained on and he knows how to take care of his voice. If not he'd lose his voice like some of the popular vocalists from the old days. And other than that he's naturally talented and gifted. You can't like generalize him he's quite unbelievable.
Thanks for this great review. I have been a Queen fan since 1975 and I watched Adam on Idol and was completely blown away. His version of Tears for Fears Mad World and Led Zeppelins Whole Lotta Love were incredible. Roger and Brian don't need the money, they are workaholics that love to play their music for the fans. That is why they were so thrilled to find Adam. They say as long as they are willing and able they will keep touring. I am so happy to see new fans because of Adam and now the movie. I saw them last year and they were obviously all enjoying themselves so much it was great to see again after all they have been through thinking Queen was over after Freddie passed. It was a fantastic show I would go to see again in a heartbeat. I saw Queen in 1977 as well and I am so glad I went last year. I loved both shows. Roger, Brian and Adam aren't trying to replace the irreplaceable Freddie, they honour his memory by bringing Freddie's music to new fans. Freddie would be amused at all the fuss!💛
FIRST TIME WATCHING YOU BUT I COMPLETELY AGREE WITH EVERY WORD YOU SAID I HAVE LOVED ADAM SINCE AMERICAN IDOL AND WHEN I SAW HIM LIVE WITH QUEEN MY MIND WAS BLOWN HE IS SERIOUSLY SUPER TALENTED. I'M SUPER GRATEFULLY QUEEN FOUND ADAM I LOVE QUEEN SO MUCH SO TO HAVE THEM STILL TOURING IS A BLESSING WHICH I TREASURE
i have seen the adam lambert and queen in concert twice now .Adam lamberts voice is a gift from god .his tone and his vocal ablility live will blow you away .Adam lambert is a star in a league of his own .That is way roger taylor and brian may chose him they new he was a star .i love all adams music i also love his earlier music glam nation and other tours .he is brilliant
Tania Dwyer has
Glad the documentary converted you. Adam is an extremely gifted vocalist. Got hooked when I first saw him on American Idol 10 years ago. Remain a huge fan till this day. Like Freddie, he does not put himself in a box and can sing different genres, from pop, rock, funk and R&B. Please check out his latest album, Velvet. It has an 80s vibe and I consider it his best work yet.
I absolutely LOVE you! First time on the channel. Look. I'm 72 arthritis fucks with my typing & at some point I'll quit correcting my mistakes. I apologise in advance. Adam I've followed since his first appearance on American Idol Season 8 or 9 (?). Sold immediately. Saw the Finale with Queen, yep, fit perfectly and here we are.
The Show Must Go On I've seen 40+ times. Yah, that production impressed the hell out of me & still does obviously since I'm still watching probably monthly. It's magical to me. Calming, relaxing, soothing. I love the shots of Adam as a little one. All the boundless energy. I remember watching for the first time hearing early on that his birthday is on Jan 29 & he was raised in San Diego & I thought WOW. I was born in San Diego on Jan 30th... Oh, in 1948 🤣🤣. Thank you for this fun channel I've subscribed & liked.
This is the first time I've seen one of your reviews, and I really enjoyed it. I grew up in rock n roll in the US and am now 71 years old. I was not a Queen fan before for various reasons (out of the country not hearing western music, etc) and discovered Adam Lambert last year while late night youtubing. The show he was on was American Idol, btw. Anyway, I'm now a Queen fan because of Adam Lambert. Feels a bit like going back in time to reclaim something I didn't know I'd lost. Saw them last year in Vancouver B.C. Phenomenal. I also like Adam's solo music, especially the new album Velvet. You should check that out.
Adam's smile inspires me a lot. Thanks to ur great video reaction.
I had the same discovery about Roger as you did. :) Thanks for this lovely video.
Seen them live 3x. Wish I had the money and health to follow their tours around the world.
I was a Queen Fan with Freddie and I am a Queen + Adam Lambert fan as well. With the movie, Adam Lambert has brought Queen music to an entire new generation of people and I think that is a great thing. He is the most underrated vocalist of this time, not many could even sing Queen songs, they are just that intricate, and he is quite possibly one of the very few that can do it. If there is another. Sounding familiar? Like Freddie. Freddie loved the great singers and there is not a doubt in my mind that he is watching this and saying, that boy can sing, way to go Brian and Roger! Adam has a sweetness about him too when it comes to Brian and Roger, he gets out of their way when he needs to, there is much respect there. And I also believe Brian and Roger have helped him in this difficult music business and have helped Adam’s solo career as well, performance wise. Adam Lambert is very much an ongoing part of the endless Queen Legacy, it just goes on and on, and deserves many props for being brave enough and to believe in himself enough to take this on. And slowly win over people, for the most part. You will find those old Queen with Freddie fans out there that are against him but he has built up the newer generation now that it is kind of like who cares? He is relevant. Period! 💗
Excellent review! I became a born again fan after seeing the movie Bohemian Rhapsody and in my mad dash of playing catch up- listening to their music and learning about them, I saw some audience recorded concert clips of them with Adam. I cannot express enough how much I adore Queen and their collaboration with Adam. He fits Queen like a glove! He's got the vocal chops, stage presence and his chemistry with Brian and Roger is just infectiously electric! I especially love his comedy/vaudeville banter intro bits with Brian). Plus, you don't get called a GFG (gift from God) by Brian May himself for nothing! On top of that, Brian and Roger started calling him their “slightly younger brother” during last summer’s rhapsody tour. Nothing beats that!
Great in depth review ! Queen and Adam Lambert are absolutely amazing together!
I think a crucial aspect of why they do it and why it works is the palpable joy: Brian and Roger are happy, Adam is happy, the audiences are happy.
@@OliverShillito It's really beautiful and gratifying to see Roger and Brian so happy. And there's obviously so much love and respect between them and Adam. I got tickets to see them last year in April for their New Zealand tour in February, without really knowing anything about Adam, and only having seen a couple of his videos in January. When I heard him live I was SO blown away. As a singer and voice coach of many years, I was absolutely gobsmacked - never heard anyone like him. To me he is every bit as incredible an artist in his genre as Placido Domingo was, at his peak, in opera. Absolutely love the flamboyance too. I could gush for hours. And as far as those who insist on comparing him to Freddie are concerned - you can't compare them. They are two very different artists with very different voices who are each great in their own way. I like to imagine Freddie saying (with a wink and a twinkle in his eye), "Well, he's not me - but he's pretty good." QUEEN did not 'replace' Freddie with Adam. They simply consider themselves blessed to have found someone with whom they can continue to honor Freddie's - and their own - legacy, in the most beautiful way, with an artist who is truly worthy of carrying it on. And I hope they continue to do so for many years to come. I fully intend to see them again live!
Welcome to the world of the Glamberts, I would like to say and thank you for showing your new enthusiasm for Queen + Adam Lambert. I watched the documentary and was just happy that Brian and Roger took this young man into their family and let him do his thing. Which is so indescribably good. I was never a big fan of Queen, I knew them of course. I was born in the early seventies and grew up with them. What drew my attention a bit more to them was their song 'Who wants to live forever' because of the movie 'Highlander', but that was it. At the beginning of the year, I became aware of Adam Lambert by chance. I just needed a few songs and I fell completely in love with his music, his voice, his charm, his manner, and, yes, his stunning looks. Then I found out that he is the lead singer of Queen. I'd never heard of that before. I started watching concert clips, documentaries and now I am not only an Adam fan but also a Queen fan. Much to my husband's delight, who, like you, was won over by Adam through Queen. They brought the music back into our lives and for that, I am very grateful.
@@OliverShillito It is!
I didn't know Adam before I saw the documentary "The Show Must Go On." I didn't even know that Queen was still performing. I happened to see him on TV at night, outside of prime time, when I was still working on a computer. That movie completely engulfed me and I've been GLAMBERT ever since. I may have seen all of Adam's videos on YT, I bought albums. I don't think I've ever been a bigger fan of any singer or band than I am now. I love Adam's voice and phenomenal singing, I love how authentic he is, I love his personality. Adam brought me back to the Queen in the new millennium. It's an incredible joy to watch them on stage. I love Adam's own songs. Most people have no idea what amazing songs he has. I would love to see him live! ❤ I'm a straight woman with two children, but sometimes I say the same thing as Kelly Osbourne: When I see his eyes, I want to be a man! It is not fair!🥰 Nile Rodgers said that Adam is a genius and the world will understand one day. I hope soon!
Almost the same! I saw his video singing Believe to Cher this past winter and fell down the rabbit hole. My kids got me a ticket to see him the day before my birthday in Vegas. I'm looking forward to seeing him!
Glad to see you converted to a fan! Love to hear your enthusiasm- so many of us share ! FYI- he was on the 2009 season of American Idol. And the reason they tour as Queen and Adam Lambert is because they did not hire him. Instead it’s a “collaboration” between two established performance acts. Having watched that video you refer to about 5 times in the last year, it’s one of my favourites. It’s nice when a venture produces a win win outcome. But this collaboration has produced a win win win win outcome. Queen wins- those guys are “drinking his young blood” and having the time of their lives. They adore him, and they’re bigger now than ever. Adam wins - he landed the biggest rock gig in the world. Queen fans win, Adam fans win, new fans win. And of course the rock show promoters and big concert venues win. Most exciting and successful
collaboration of all time! 👏👏👏👏
Totally agree. The most successful collaboration of all time! Press called Adam "larger than life frontman".
Queen is bigger than ever. We can enjoy Queen songs performed live in top level.
Love your review. I hope more people watch the documentary and then Google some videos. The QAL concerts are unbelievable. I'm so spoiled that I won't pay to see any other concerts except Adam's solo shows of course. ;) Welcome to the Glamberts.
Totally love Queen with Adam Lambert! He is the best live performer in the world.
That was a wonderful and thoughtful review! I love your breakdown of the content and how/why you came to the conclusion that you did. I look forward to more reviews in the future. :) I started out as a pretty serious Queen fan and discovered Adam Lambert through them. His voice completely astonished me! I remember sitting there stunned. He is amazing live, I saw him and Queen in Toronto last year, the best concert I've ever been to. Welcome to the Adam Lambert fandom (Glamberts), there is so much good music to look forward to, cheers!
I adore Adam Lambert, I think he is the best vocalist in the world, been listening to him since 2012. Seen him with Queen in 2017. Absolutely spectacular. That's not even a debate: the Queen + Adam Lambert shows are always on another level and his voice is always superb, start to finish, for 2 hours, the man is a beast (I mean that in the best way possible, lol). My only bucket list wish now is to see Adam Lambert at his solo concert.
May your wish come true.
@ toramenor - I too adore Adam Lambert and knew he would be a superstar even the minutes before he auditioned on American Idol in 2009. I have seen Adam several times solo and he is AMAZING SOLO!!! I also had the absolute pleasure of meeting Adam last summer and he is super nice, sweet, a doll, genuine , humble - and the list goes on. His personality just oozes out of him. I do hope you get to see him solo! I have also seen him perform with Queen, but my preference is to see Adam solo. Stay well.
I am right there with you! I have two things on my bucket list and one of them is to see Adam solo. I had tickets to three performances this year that were cancelled, but it will happen eventually.
@@michellecolwell4364 yes, so sad that everything had to be cancelled. Next year hopefully!
I was a fan of Adam from the first audition. I think what I like best about him is that he makes Brian and Roger smile. In the older footage, they rarely smile. I saw the live stream the other day and they spoke of going through the song catalog, so it appears some rarely heard songs may make an appearance.
Adam is simply amazing and spectacular. He's my all time fave.
I love your video, it's a very good review. I'm a fan of Adam Lambert and I'm glad you are now a convert. He is really awesome and can sing anything. I actually prefer watching him perform live, for me he sounds much better live than in recording. Thank you for sharing your review.
The Show must go on is also on TH-cam and yes Adam is amazing go back to some of his shows before Queen and see he has always DRESSED differently and always been an amazing singer and showman
Greta review! I've seen them together 14 times! Best concerts I've ever been to & pre Covid, I usually go to about 10 concerts a year! The key to Adam's success with Queen is #1 that he does NOT try to imitate Freddie. And this was very important to Roger and Brain. Then of course, he has the vocals to be ale to sing every song. And of course, his "take no prisoners" on stage personality! TY, again!
Wow!!! 14 times???? You’re so lucky!!!
Thank you for your honest review and welcome to the Glamberts World :) I have loved Adam since his American Idol audition singing Bohemian Rhapsody, marvelled at his performances throughout the competition, hated that the best man didn't win but hey look who's got the last laugh. It is disheartening that many Queen fans still refuse to accept him even though, as he has often said, he is not here to replace Freddie Mercury but to celebrate his music. I'm glad to have watched both his solo and and QAL concerts. Not quite sure how long the collaboration will last given the fact that both Brian and Roger are in their 70s, but to me he is the perfect fit. I look forward to following his future career with or without Queen.
The problem with beeing converted these days is that you have to wait almost FOREVER to finally see them live. :-) I discovered Queen in Spring 2019 and given that I live in Europe, it will be 3 years till I get to go to their shows. Have to admit though that it's kind of nice to have something like that to look forward to through this whole pandemic. I'll be 41 then, attending my first rock concert ever (but not only one). :-)
Adam is fantastic, and to see the joy on Brian's and Roger's faces is all you need to know! Like many of us, I'm a fan of the original foursome in the first place, but the chemistry in Queen + AL grabbed me right from the start, too! The fact that they got the chance to do this again after the devastating loss of Freddie and after all this time is just moving!
Im one of the younger ones LOL I knew Adam Lambert before I knew Queen.. I honestly thought Queen was dead coz I only hear their songs in videoke, ya know, didnt know who Queen was, only know the songs because drunk guys sing them in the middle of the night.. I finally knew about Queen (freddie brian roger and john) when Adam mentioned them when asked about his musical inspirations.. then that's when I found out all about 70s 80s music and got obsessed with them. At first I didn't like the idea of Adam joining Queen (Queen who? LOL) because I wanted to see him flourish in his solo career, but man I was wrong LOL He was able to do both!! Such an amazing man.. xoxo
Thank you for this! I love Queen, adore QAL and am in awe of Adam L! I’ve never been touched by a voice like Adam’s voice touches you 😃
Hes amazing and natural talented ❤❤❤ Adam Lambert is True to himself❤❤❤
Welcome to the Queenbert bandwagon, darling!
I grew up listening to Queen because of my mom, but never really appreciated the legacy. It was just when Adam joined them, him been my fave singer, that I truly understood what Queen stands for.
@@OliverShillito Very true!!
Adam is amazing. He is probably one of the most amazing singers that has ever been discovered in literally decades. He was totally robbed of his title on AI; HOWEVER< I think that he made out much better by loosing. I'm so happy that Adam & Queen are together...the best of 2 worlds and I think I can see Freddie smiling down in approval. The greatest aspect? HE LOVES FREDDIE AND QUEEN!! How amazing to have a dream come true; but Adam deserves it as does Queen!
I was the same. Massive Queen fan, knew of Adam Lambert, but didn't follow his career. I paid attention after I saw them together in 2014, and I became a Glambert not long after. Like a lot of new performers, they made it all about Adams looks, and not about his voice (lots of auto-tuning. Why???), and I think somewhere along the way people forgot what this man could do, or didn't know at all if you didn't watch Idol season 8 like I didn't. I have no doubt in my mind that he is the greatest singer alive today.
@Oliver Shillito :) you just earnt a sub, yea, With this AL it's about the vocals, not exactly the "music" kinda of. I have a feeling you know what he's doing vocal wise. HIs live session are good. The albums are autotuned, but THIS AL doesn't need it for live, he's got years of experience in live performances with out the gimmcks. If you would like- look up My Convication a production of Hair, to get an idea how skilled he is actually. :) It's old, but kinda confirms what he can pull off. It's just audio , but it gives you an idea.
@@OliverShillito Hear! Hear!
I'm not sure anyone could have pulled off singing with Queen except Adam. He is a gifted singer just like Freddy was.
Please watch the whole of Adam lamberts story before and after pop idol plus his interviews his Cher and other Kennedy centre and oscars and his rock best ballads and new stuff - it has got me through lock down/illness/trauma and I too had forgotten to listen to music( too busy)
I love Adam Lambert. With him Queen has been able to play once again. After the movie about Freddy there are new fans that are able to enjoy the whole Queen experience. I think it was a fabulous choice Roger and Brian made to tour with Adam.
The interesting part about Adam is that he started out in musical theater as a child and initially did plays like Hair and Wicked when he started out. He is a trained singer and spent a couple of years learning operatic technique. Check out his singing The Prayer and Shir Lashalom with 2 operatic sopranos. Then he sang Brigadoon which is also on youtube and he is phenomenal. That is the kind of music I would love to hear more of. I adore him singing with Queen as it is also an operatic, difficult catalog to sing. Sometimes his songs don't do justice to his voice. I would love to hear him sing O Holy Night! Silly
, I know, but I love Christmas and that is my secret wish.
My favorite is My Convication from Hair.. that shows off his voice the best in terms of skill. ( just my opinion)
He has sung bits of "O Holy Night" a couple of times. Have you seen it? th-cam.com/video/U0qHWkUk594/w-d-xo.html Would die to hear the whole thing.
Thanks for the pointer to the Brigadoon clip, hadn't heard that one and it's very impressive!
NM Gal most haven’t heard of his theatre- that’s the sad bit. That’s where he shows his skill. . But Hair was more complex.
have you heard him sing "Please Come Home for Christmas" - with a twist - he's Adam Lambert being Adam Lambert (B.B. King does a great cover as well)
Love Adam Lambert. He has made me a big Queen fan!
Queen + Adam Lambert also gives Adam's name promotion for his solo tours. Listen to Adam's cd Velvet
@@OliverShillito yes please!!
@@OliverShillito Great!
@@OliverShillito YES PLEASE!! 😃 👍 Hubby and I have traveled round the world to see Adam with Queen and solo! We've met him up close 3 times and he's absolutely lovely! And modest. We're trapped now because of this virus scare and are watching reaction videos! There are thousands available! I'm subscribing NOW! Love from Las Vegas mate! 💘 👍 TTFN! 👋
Recent convert. Adam is an amazing singer. There's a TH-cam channel called Wings of Pegasus where he breaks down Adam's Believe performance. It was amazing to see the talent and really understand from a musicians view.
Thank you for this!👏🏼 I saw them a few times live, they are unfkngbelievable! 💪🏼👑🎸
Adam is absolutely the best for Queen. Adam has an incredible voice, a fantastic stage performance. Adam is perfect for the Queen band. Adam's vocal potential is one in a million. And I don't say this because I love Adam, but because Adam is really the best singer. Adam was born to shine and that's it. Adam always charms me, a long time ago. I love Adam Lambert. Adam is the best, my favorite star.
I read lots of tweets from people converted to Queen + Adam Lambert, and Adam on his own, but this is the first video review I've seen of it. Thank you for giving Adam a chance. I'd like to see your reviews of a few of their performances together, maybe one of Adam's solo songs?
You mentioned reviewing drums. Have you seen Roger Taylor's drum battle with Tyler Warren from the QAL tour? The man is in his early 70s and plays like a 20 something - th-cam.com/video/IZytM-pjZSo/w-d-xo.html
Or the drum battle between Roger and his son Rufus from earlier QAL tours.
Roger was awesome in the documentary. Really stood up for Adam, and made it clear how pointless the complaining was. It was hilarious how pissed off the Adam haters got over it, lol.
How do you know Adam haters got pissed off? I would love to see that.
TheLambertLover Oh just various comments on social media, the type of fans who get on a power trip and think bands owe everything to them.
Freddy was a genius. I saw Freddy and Queen in Montreal, Quebec Canada live. It was fantastic. But I love Adam. Brian May has said in interviews about Adam’s vocal ability that he sometimes forgets to play because he can’t believe the notes Adam is hitting he is so amazed.
I love Adam, he is amazing! Yes, he is so genuine! Love that you found him!💖💖💖
great fan of Adam Lambert. Best decision ever to include him in Queen.
Omg I love you ! And I love you for giving Adam a chance. He’s amazing with Queen and as a solo artist. Would love to hear what you think of his new album Velvet
Oliver Shillito Thank you 🙏
Oliver Shillito this is the link to Velvet live sessions from Adam’s YT channel th-cam.com/play/PLuuNtD-xmhd20Eepzc9HOjL0dFyi2Qk_G.html
Don't forget to also check out his first three albums. Lots of great songs done to perfection, especially his live shows. Very sensual, he can really get the hormones raging, but sometimes he breaks the vibe and has to laugh at himself,so endearing that he doesn't really take himself seriously!
Glad you have become an Adam Lambert fan. I have loved him since American Idol. Love him with Queen. There's all kind of videos of Adam in his early years and with Queen all over You Tube. Check them out. His new album Velvet is amazing. Check out the live sessions. You won't be disappointed. Thank you for reviewing The Show Must Go on The Queen and Adam Lambert Story. It is good. ❤
Oh finally a fair intelligent review! It was a few months back that I really stared looking into Adams career, was shocked to see three solo albums with another one, Velvet on the way. I could t believe how little coverage in the U.K Adam had gotten over the 10 years since Idol. Anyway recommending listening to all four albums in a row because it’s a brilliant journey through music! Hopefully QAL will make their own album soon too.
Also he sung opera in videos on here to
To be fair he did do New Year’s Eve once with Queen in U.K. but sadly again, ppl dismissed him recently and were rude when he did a show there. It’s sad cause that wasn’t fair. They call him the adoptive frontman. 😆 also you should not dismiss someone with out knowing the entire story.
@@MasiaDe What people are you talking about? Adam's got many fans over here. Never seen rude people.
@@lararoostalu9318 Yeah, I don't agree. Wasn't he trending on Twitter or having millions of searches on his name after New Year's Eve? And wasn't he doing wembley arena in the UK for his solo tour had covid not happen?
I thank you so much for all the praise you said about Adam who deserve the world’s recognition.... what he doesn’t in some countries - as for ex in France - which drives me nuts! I wish everybody would listen to your words and understand what a « Gift Of God » Adam is. The Queen and Adam Lambert documentary is still not available in France (Neither on Netflix nor on other Official channels) and it is shameful
Oliver Shillito The documentary is on YT... this is not the problem! The problem is that you got to know Adam Lambert to look for whatever vid it can be! I am French, living in France and I can say (having experienced it myself) that his name is unknown here by 99% of the population because of lack of media coverage, lack of marketing... and probably some other issues as homophobia, « protection » of French artists, bad language skills of the French citizens... well, I discovered him through sheer accident and I’m furious that so many people don’t get the opportunity to know this unique and unmatched singer/performer/human being....
Oliver Shillito the band is known! But with Freddie... not Adam!
@@ireneneuschwander6010 Queen (back in the day) - and Queen + Adam Lambert are loved in the Province of Quebec (Canada), they sell out every venue they play in; such a shame they are unknown in France.
Veronica Matchett as I said here already: Queen is known (by every French person) but not Adam Lambert... and that is a shame!
They are amazing...saw them live 2 times....amazing...would go again :-D
Had to laugh when you talked about Adam's costumes and how he doesn't give a f***k. If you think what he wears now is wild, take a look at his astonishing performances with the Zodiac Show in LA. This was way back in 2008/9 before he got famous on American Idol. I mean, he was like the male version of Lady Gaga, before she started her wild dressing phase to get noticed. The vocal prowess on both performances is almost beyond belief and what's equally beyond belief is that he couldn't get signed which is why he went the American Idol route. Crawl Thru Fire: th-cam.com/video/wXvSA6QL7Ac/w-d-xo.html and Change is Gonna Come (2004) :th-cam.com/video/xrcAWtVhb0c/w-d-xo.html
@@OliverShillito Same, LOL. BTW, Adam is in London right now, in part doing promo for the new Queen Live DVD. Hope he can see your reviews.
Queen has had the amazingly good fortune to perform with the two greatest frontmen of their respective generations....Freddie Mercury and Adam Lambert....probably the only two singers capable of performing Queen's ENTIRE multi-genre, wide-ranging catalogue of music with ease! Long live Queen and Adam Lambert! OUR GOOD LUCK that they found each other!
Saw Q& AL live in Nottingham a few years ago - it was a fantastic gig.
@@OliverShillito mmm I know they are staying at 02 for a couple days next year... but that was before all the fun stuff.
@@OliverShillito back when Q+AL first started touring they didn't know how in demand "Queen + Adam Lambert" would be, they did smaller venues with pretty reasonable prices just to test the waters as you would say. Afterwords they did a couple festivals and Free shows. The success of the movie plus the extensive touring from 2012 - 2018 escalated them back to super band status (even though they have been that way forever) with the newer generation relearning of this band. With that they started stadium tours with insane astronomical prices but I'm sure they will go back to smaller venues at some point.
@@RobChurch1988 I wish they would do great concerts like Rio Brazil 1985. They are ready. Tickets often sell out in hours. Amazing success Queen + Adam Lambert!
I have always been a queen fan...Freddie is THE best singer ever...But you explain Adam perfectly. I have watch Queen with adam in Australia and just saw adam in vegas on Halloween eve. Aadm is great...and only one who could ever stand up to all the haters...and carry on Queen....change is good...
Great review!
Great review!!! Adam is a gift...a WOW factor 🥰💜😍
You get it. You’ll appreciate him even more if you hear Adam Lambert live, in person.
Body language is made for Adam 🥵
Oliver Shillito, Sir I am so glad to see this, hear your assessment of Adam Lambert's musical ability in April 2023. Take 🌾🌴 care🌹enjoy each🌾 moment🌾.
Yes Adam has always been a King and Queen and him are made for each other
And also Adam was in American idol. Not AGT 😅
@@OliverShillito American idol, was start of them. I think.
@@OliverShillito Also he should have won that contest travesty that he didnt win, done him a favour though.
@@OliverShillito big time if he had won that show which he should have, he would have been tied to a dreadful contract and restricted for a long time, really thought he was amazing from the first time I saw him audition for the show. Mr Cowell slates him for being theatrical, who gives a shit with pipes like that the man has a phenomenal voice.
Adam is no Freddie Mercury but Freddie Mercury is no Adam Lambert. Both the best of the best and iconic. I LOVE Adam! He is so gifted- that voice!!!
He’s incredible!
Here’s the thing. Yes, Freddie mercury was a rock God hands-down no disputing that but even Brian and Roger have both stated that even Freddie couldn’t do some of the things that Adam has done. So, filling Freddie’s shoes… no. But, creating an updated pair.. yes!
I wish I would have seen this video sooner but I will comment anyway. I am so happy for the documentary - true title - “The Show Must Go On: The Queen + Adam Lambert Story” 😊. That documentary was one of the best I’ve ever seen. I love love love the story. Oh and Adam was on American Idol - not America’s Got Talent 😊
Love Adam since Idol 💚💚
I'm making my first trip abroad next summer to see Queen and Adam in London. I've been a Queen fan since 1975 when I was 11 and got hold of the "Night at the Opera" LP (because my parents thought it had something to do with opera). I adore Freddie and I missed seeing him in 1982, but I can still see Roger and Brian and I've loved Adam since his auditon on American Idol. He is astonishingly good. His version of Who Wants to Live Forever from the night after the Orlando nightclub shootings is, according to Roger and Brian, the best performance of that song ever, and they think Freddie would agree. If you haven't seen it, th-cam.com/video/eHPv80jNoQU/w-d-xo.html
Fleetwood mac's farewell tour ...hahahahahahah
American Idol, not America's Got Talent. The best TV talent show contestant in any TV talent show anywhere in the world ever, and he was runner-up to a typically American wholesome boy (but so was Elvis, whose doppelganger he so definitely is, in a talent show).
As for what range Adam Lambert has, "all the notes on any guitar" and "from Maria Callas to Barry White" as just two of the many well-known producers that have worked with him have put it.
Brian, Roger, etc, didn't really have any plans to perform as Queen again after their tour and album with the wonderful Paul Rodgers (one of Freddie's favourite singers) in the mid-2000s but they came across Adam who has the range, power and versatility to perform different styles, as well as the OTT (some would say camp) performance skills and stage presence of Freddie (as Brian describes him, "a gift from God") without being a Freddie impersonator or in any way trying to be the man whose huge shoes he is honoured to fill.
They tour as Queen & Adam Lambert because Adam has had a solo career for the past ten years as well as being frontman for Queen for the past ten.
I too watched that documentary because I was bored and it convinced me to check the guy out. I found him to be highly creative and respectful of the lyrics. I mean both Smokey Robinson and Cher loved how he reinterpreted their songs.
🤣🤣 although still can’t get over Randy Travis’ face at seeing his rendition of Ring of Fire. Horrified but trying to restrain himself to not showing it🤣🤣🤣
Don’t forget his albums in order rock funk soul garage and his David Bowie cover etc etc and collaborations with Nile Rogers and glee performances and musical
Seen the doc 4 times absolutely love it
I've seen the doc 114 times, and I still absolutely love it!!!
I find myself going back and watching it. If you haven't seen the reaction from I think his name is Dunmore check it out. He does a great job! th-cam.com/video/4yjBRAr81uk/w-d-xo.html
Had to send you this from last year. Adam singing Cher's "Believe" and it makes her cry. th-cam.com/video/5PzQHZLiUPs/w-d-xo.html Great review by the way.
@@OliverShillito Lot's of training - and no autone. Might use verb. lol Check out My conviction in Hair. Its a production of theatre, over that will show you how skilled he is actually. :) He's under apperciated sadly. I get why, but still. He's actually more popular in China then anywhere else in the world...which is .... odd frankly.
He slays it every time 🤗🥰
Adam singing Cher's "Believe"............ A M A I Z I N G
Best part of Adam, is that he actually a nice dude off the script.Even though it's image that's kinda eh. He'll state his opinion like everyone else though. But doesn't brag. Thank you -you seem to get Adam's character. He's a fun dude. Does charity a lot. Lot's off it is a front, he'll go out of the way. *watch more than one interview* He's always done Glam Rock. hahahah yes, that cancel culture, yay. *rolls eyes* The other great thing is looking what Adam can do in the past as well. If your interesed. He's done borderline Metal. Also, Queen wouldn't have asked him if they thought he was a rude dude, they they are next door neighbors in L.A. In 2009, to add, for to able to sing Led Zepplin had to give permission to him. He to his very diverse, least for a current male singer? Sadly gets a lotta hate.. fair warning.
@@OliverShillito lol :) Exactly..just giving you a warning. They did win Band of Year, and replicated Live Aid, actually, he was in the movie too.. thank you. Kinda wish they're more people like you. Nice meeting you. If you ever want to know of his earlier- pre fame stuff- let us know. or its wiki pedia. Led zepplin gave him permission. XD
Thank you. I agree!
Adam is so great.
Thank you for an excellent review! Adam's astounding voice drew us to him, and his humility and genuineness made us love him.
Brian May calling him their "Gift From God" is not overstated. This is another amazing performance from his American Idol journey.
th-cam.com/video/wOZQudeix2Y/w-d-xo.html
Sorry, your're wrong it was American Idol season 8 2009 that Adam Lambert was on.
Dude is the best vocalist of this generation. Point blank period.
Hard to argue there!
