Let's be honest, Freddie can never be replaced but Adam really brings out his style. I think Adam was a good choice because they have the same pitch and even though Freddie really hit those notes well and made it memorable Adam is closest we can ever get. So just be grateful for Adam please.. Just give him a chance, this comes from a true heartfelt Queen fan.
I don't know if you know of the band The Protomen, but back in like 2012 they did an live album tour covering Queen songs. While the lead singer may not have all the technical prowess of Lambert, it feels a lot closer in spirit to Freddie's performances
I really like Adam, he's keeping these pieces of art alive, he's a real showman just like Freddie; his voice is amazing, I don't see what people see wrong with him.
I like Adam, He is a great showman and great singer. freddie would have liked him for sure. only one thing... I love freddie's version of this song better. No one can sing Freddie's songs better. But I would love to see Queen with Adam in concert
Adam's voice sounds amazing live, Freddie struggled a bit more when trying to hit the high tones live, but one thing should never be forgotten! Songwriters like Freddie are hard to come by! There can be only one! Adam you rock!!
Different circumstances I think. Touring conditions are a lot more palatable and clearly Adam's lifestyle isn't one thats gonna take its toll on his voice. At least not at his age. Back in Freddie's bands practically lived on the road, except for the hours they were in the studio. It sounds like a cop out, but it really does take its toll as the years roll by. Freddie was also older than Lambert when he "made it".
Michael Paradise freddie is a tenor and adam is a contratenor but freddie low his range couse de vocal nodes so in the 84-87 in live he sang in a baritone
Johnny Zur WHAT THE HELL MAN it's bad enough you lambo fans don't let us say anything about Fred on the vid and just praise Adam but REALLY?!? Do NOT diss Freddie in comparison to Adam. EVER. that's just wrong in so many ways.
ADAM ME DEJO BOQUIABIERTA.. FUE INCREÍBLE LA ACTUACIÓN QUE MOSTRÓ EN BS AS ..ROGER Y BRIAN DEMUESTRAN TENER MÚSICA EN LA SANGRE..LOS AMO PUEDO DECIR QUE FUE UN SHOW INCREÍBLE,ME ENCANTARÍA VOLVER A VERLOS OTRA VEZ!!!! ADAM PERDÓN POR ARAÑARTE LA MANO EN RADIO GAGA :p.. PD: QUE VUELVA JOHN Y ESTOY ECHA♥
Nobody has said he is Freddie's replacement. As Freddy's not here other people have done the vocals over the years and Adam has just joined them on this last tour. And gone down a storm. Adam has his own album coming out soon.
No one is trying to take over Freddie's place. Freddie is irreplaceable, and Adam knows it. Everyone knows it. This is not a competition between these two amazing singers. Adam doesn't need or try to imitate Freddie, he's amazing by just being himself. If you don't like the Q+AL collaboration it's fine, Brian addressed this issue since the beginning: "We are playing for those who want to hear us. The rest of you, goodbye. Thanks, no problem".
Craig Furges Ironic that you make aids jokes, and your idol actually died of aids. If you have a little bit of respect towards Mr. Mercury you'll not joke in something as serious as that. It's disgusting and disrespectful.
My idol? Freddie is not my fucking idol. In fact I think he must be a joke to have such pathetic insecure fan-trolls who try to shove him down anyone who wants to watch Adam+Queen.
Adam sings those songs and they seem too effortless and easy for him. that's really saying something considering he's covering freddie. not a dis, just an observation. impressive as it is, i like it better when it sounds like the singer is working for it.
+nigeldaddyo Adam has been in musical theater since he was 10 and is the quite the professional . . he has learned his craft and believe me not everyone can hit those notes
Fredrik Jelkefors Freddie is one of a kind for sure but without his band mates he wouldn't have reached the top. It took all four of them to get there. And in case you didn't know Brian and John composed most of Queen's music. When it came to songwriting Freddie was just a lyricist and a piano player. Don't ever say Queen is nothing without Freddie. The truth is he needed Queen more than Brian Roger or John did.
He's great, outstanding but I miss something. I don't know how to describe. I honestly think that he should leave the band and form a new one. Perhaps we'd discover a better Adam. Anyway, congratulations Adam!!!!!
Freddy was the best front man. Adam is the next best front man for queen. Only these two men can do it. But the truth is Adam does have the better voice and can hit notes Freddy couldnt
My comment is a bit late but people with your kind of mindset are just wrong both Brian and Roger said that trying to go with a Mercury replacement would be awful and they were against it they respect Adam I understand how you feel but at the same time you have to respect the fact he's singing with queen and it won't change
No you actually NEVER wondered that since Roger and Brian have answered that stupid question a million times. Let's start with Martel not even being able to sing the full catalog without backup singers and not wanting a Freddie impersonator and Martel being not even CLOSE to a frontman let alone the creative vocalist that Lambert is.
FOR THE PEOPLE AND THE FANS THAT REALY KNOW FRED - THIS IS RIDICULOUS - QUEEEN IS NOT EXIST WITHOUT FRED - I AM VERY DISAPOINTED TO BRIAN MAY THAT TELL INUMERL TIMES - THE QUEEN WITHOUT FRED ARE NOT RETURNING - NEVER! HE IS BROKEN - IN THE STAGE FRED ARE SUPREME - ARE A UNIQUE TALENT - UNIQUE PERSON - IF YOU LIKE THIS - YOU NEVER! NEVER!!!!!! BE A REAL FAN OF QUEEN!
This Martel, Adam bickering is getting really old. Martel is a mediocre, inferior singer. Brian and Roger saw that, they passed on him as well as others they auditioned. They heard Adam, loved that incredible voice, loved Adam , and chose Adam. Now Adam,Bri and Roger have brought Queen back alive and people are loving them. They get to see them live again, hear their wonderful music. I for one, thank Adam for being that spark that lit them up again.
If you hate him then what are you doing here? If he is a toy then how come he is selling out the arenas? You think people who are going to Queen+AL fool? Please at least respect Brian and Roger.
He's not ruining them he adds his own style to them something that a lot of queen "fans" can't wrap there heads around I'm pretty sure Freddie would be proud that his legacy is being lived on
Adam does not just perform a song, he brings the lyrics to life!!! I just adore him and I'm sure Freddie would have loved him, too.
He gets better with every performance. Brian May even said he believes the two would get along.
Let's be honest, Freddie can never be replaced but Adam really brings out his style. I think Adam was a good choice because they have the same pitch and even though Freddie really hit those notes well and made it memorable Adam is closest we can ever get. So just be grateful for Adam please.. Just give him a chance, this comes from a true heartfelt Queen fan.

Awesome voice!!! 👏👏👏
I really like Adam, he's keeping these pieces of art alive, he's a real showman just like Freddie; his voice is amazing, I don't see what people see wrong with him.
This was my first queen concert one word amazing
I like Adam, He is a great showman and great singer. freddie would have liked him for sure. only one thing... I love freddie's version of this song better. No one can sing Freddie's songs better. But I would love to see Queen with Adam in concert
+Gilbarwaters I agree
Oh you mean the Freddie version where he couldn't sing it live in the key he wrote it in and recorded it in so he has to lower it an octave?
Personally I can’t stand him.
WIthout taking anything away from Freddie's genius and the sadness of his loss, Adam brings a freshness to the Queen standards that is welcome.
Love this version, I think Adam has a fabulous voice!
Fantastic! Don't think I've ever seen a vid this close up at intro of Adam, Lap Of the Gods!
One of my favorite segments of the show. Esp. KQ.
LOOOOOVVE THIS, MY FAVE! Thank you!
Adam isn't freddie but my god can he sing... Amazing vocalist.
So is Roger Taylor
3:27 - 3:32 Brian is running to the Mic xD
Can't wait to see them in December😍😭😍😭
Katie Marie me too. Bham
Adam has a great voice, I've no doubt about it, but he doesn't have rebellion and power that just Freddie could have in his voice.
MAGNIFICENT ❣️
Adam's voice sounds amazing live, Freddie struggled a bit more when trying to hit the high tones live, but one thing should never be forgotten! Songwriters like Freddie are hard to come by! There can be only one! Adam you rock!!
well said
+Johnny Zur But Freddie was a baritone, and Adam is a tenor.

*in the lap of the gods...revisited
I love Adam so much omg😍😍😍😍
He's so pretty wtf 😭😭❤️❤️❤️
I bet freddy was sat upstairs in the heavens with a massive smile on his face.
Adam is the Show!
YAS
I love Adam
Jamás habrá nadie que se le parezca. 👋🏼
Falta paixão nesses novos cantores...
Would absolutely LOVE to see Adam sing this independent of the click track.
I don't want to be nasty but let's just say Adam Lambert is no Freddie Mercury. Freddie can never be replaced - and certainly not by him.
Nobody has said he is Freddie's replacement. As Freddy's not here other people have done the vocals over the years and Adam has just joined them on this last tour. And gone down a storm. Adam has his own album coming out soon.
No one is trying to take over Freddie's place. Freddie is irreplaceable, and Adam knows it. Everyone knows it. This is not a competition between these two amazing singers.

Dom Rodriguez Freddie is no Adam Lambert. Who would want to watch that pitchy ugly AidsBag...YUCK
Craig Furges Ironic that you make aids jokes, and your idol actually died of aids. If you have a little bit of respect towards Mr. Mercury you'll not joke in something as serious as that. It's disgusting and disrespectful.
My idol? Freddie is not my fucking idol. In fact I think he must be a joke to have such pathetic insecure fan-trolls who try to shove him down anyone who wants to watch Adam+Queen.
Adam sings those songs and they seem too effortless and easy for him. that's really saying something considering he's covering freddie. not a dis, just an observation. impressive as it is, i like it better when it sounds like the singer is working for it.
+nigeldaddyo Adam has been in musical theater since he was 10 and is the quite the professional . . he has learned his craft and believe me not everyone can hit those notes
Then Freddie died the band sude split. Queen is nothing without Freddie, simple as that
Fredrik Jelkefors : so , dont see the video anymore, just old CD's Queen..Queen + Adam Lambert only for those who have future not for dead man.
Sadly that dead man had more emotion then your living man
Fredrik Jelkefors Freddie is one of a kind for sure but without his band mates he wouldn't have reached the top. It took all four of them to get there. And in case you didn't know Brian and John composed most of Queen's music. When it came to songwriting Freddie was just a lyricist and a piano player. Don't ever say Queen is nothing without Freddie.

He's great, outstanding but I miss something. I don't know how to describe. I honestly think that he should leave the band and form a new one. Perhaps we'd discover a better Adam.
Anyway, congratulations Adam!!!!!
Not bad. Adam sings this hit in his own way. I believe Freddy would like it too.:-)
Freddy was the best front man. Adam is the next best front man for queen. Only these two men can do it. But the truth is Adam does have the better voice and can hit notes Freddy couldnt
Just isn't the same.
Thank God because they are much better with Adam.
M adam Lambert ...
Adam Lambert is definitely a great singer but I have always wondered why queen didn’t pick Marc Martel instead
My comment is a bit late but people with your kind of mindset are just wrong both Brian and Roger said that trying to go with a Mercury replacement would be awful and they were against it they respect Adam I understand how you feel but at the same time you have to respect the fact he's singing with queen and it won't change

YOUR FANS ARE HUNGRY - THIS ARE TO STOP - A WORLD MOVIMENT TO THE REAL FANS
Not for me. Queen does 'High School Musical',,,,,,,No thanks.
No problem. They sell out concerts all over the world.
I'm pregnant
........................
IT IS DISGUSTING - WITOUT FREDDIE THERE S NO QUEEN - THE OLDEST AND GREAT FANS ARE FURIOUS NOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Antonio Arruda Then don't watch. Fuck off.
Old people will die soon so whatever.
Antonio Arruda Ikr I'm 12 and I agree. Queen is shit without Fred.
Only ALwho can carry on Freddie's legacy
Dynamite Dancers : it means that your opinion is based on your parents not your own
FOR THE PEOPLE AND THE FANS THAT REALY KNOW FRED - THIS IS RIDICULOUS - QUEEEN IS NOT EXIST WITHOUT FRED - I AM VERY DISAPOINTED TO BRIAN MAY THAT TELL INUMERL TIMES - THE QUEEN WITHOUT FRED ARE NOT RETURNING - NEVER! HE IS BROKEN - IN THE STAGE FRED ARE SUPREME - ARE A UNIQUE TALENT - UNIQUE PERSON - IF YOU LIKE THIS - YOU NEVER! NEVER!!!!!! BE A REAL FAN OF QUEEN!
+Antonio Arruda The show must go on
+Fernand Blanc freddie was the show.
Think the same Bro
Antonio Arruda Freddie Mercury was queen my friend. When someone says you listen to queen? You don't think of Adam lambert.
Marc Martel is better
This Martel, Adam bickering is getting really old. Martel is a mediocre, inferior singer. Brian and Roger saw that, they passed on him as well as others they auditioned. They heard Adam, loved that incredible voice, loved Adam , and chose Adam. Now Adam,Bri and Roger have brought Queen back alive and people are loving them. They get to see them live again, hear their wonderful music. I for one, thank Adam for being that spark that lit them up again.
I’m not a big fan of Adam trying to turn this show into big gay broadway musical.
Well for 12 years he has been the frontman so billions love him...
O CARA CANTA MUITO MAL
Hate this guy in front of Queen, just a toy in Brian and Roger hands. Money 💰 is the deal! 😠
If you hate him then what are you doing here? If he is a toy then how come he is selling out the arenas? You think people who are going to Queen+AL fool? Please at least respect Brian and Roger.
God no please dont ruin these songs Adam
He's not ruining them he adds his own style to them something that a lot of queen "fans" can't wrap there heads around I'm pretty sure Freddie would be proud that his legacy is being lived on
IS A TRASHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH
