The day the entire world will be able to say something like "he's not replacing Freddie, he's doing his own (amazing) job with Queen songs" heaven will be on earth again
I've seen them live 2 times now and each time I'm blown away. Adam makes it clear he is not trying to be freddie, hes simply trying to carry on the music. Coming from someone who is a die hard queen fan!
The sound guys are geniuses for these concerts. These are the last two songs in the 2+ hours, the energy is so up and no matter how loud the audience is you can hear every word. Something folks often forget is that both Brian and Roger have great voices and the harmonies are really tight. They are phenomenal together, they love performing with each other, the way it should be whoever's shoes are on the stage.
I saw them in Boston 2 yrs. ago... I've seen my share of concerts but I'd have to say this was one of the best! I have total respect for what Adam has done to revive and bring Queen back to the world stage! The pipes on this kid are amazing! He's a powerhouse! He's an awesome vocal talent! If anyone wants to hate on him in any way... go make an appointment to have your head examined!
Also I like your reactions, your articulation is on point. Also you understand Adam is not there to be anybody. He is only there because he also loves Queen!, and wants to give his everything for the band's iconic songs. At the end of the day, these iconic Queen songs belong to the audience. In Adams words: there is only one Freddie, so how can he be Freddie? Thats not the point at all! He CANNOT be Freddie, that would be impossible, right? So, I think you summarized all these misconceptions pretty well
One of the things that just astounds me with Adam Lambert is how flipping easy he makes it look - he's absolutely belting stuff out and he manages to make it look like he's just waiting for his coffee order..... ugh!
If you watch some of his live stuff - like his song with Avicii - he’s got some bits of running around and dancing and so on, too, and then right back into singing like he’s been lounging around the whole time. He makes it look like he could run up half a dozen flights if stairs then just burst into song and not sound out of breath at all, it’s ridiculous.
I went to see Queen with Adam in August. It was an awesome show. Adam does a great job. Only one Freddie and he doesn’t try to be Freddie. He just tries to be Adam Lambert singing Freddie songs the best he can.
Adam is not trying to fill Freddies shoes.. He sees himself as a guest, keeping Freddies mermories alive. Adam is a fan of Freddie himself. Obviously they saw something in Adam in order for them to ask Adam to be Thier front singer. Adam does not mimic Freddie, he's respectful to Freddies memory an sing Queens music as his authentic self. Yes, Adam does have that stage presents an flamboyantcy that Freddie had, but its Adams an Adams alone. No one can fill Freddies shoes, as no one can fill Adams. Its the heart the soul an being true to who you are as a person an artist. In this case, its also about respect
Adam even makes a speech about how he's sad too like the fans because if Freddie's death and hiw he is following in his footsteps. Adam is a Freddie superfan and was nervous to be the frontman.
Both Brian and Roger say Adam is a gift from God …. With an amazing range! Adam has breathed new life into Queen giving themselves to a completely old and new audience that have been able to enjoy this amazing band …. As if Freddie was still alive he would have been 77 and however great a singer people remember him to have been he wouldn’t be rocking and delivering the power that Adam is able to, in fact the band would have probably have had to retire …. So we salute you Adam as nobody could fill your shoes my friend, your simply the best! ❤
I watched Adam on America Idol and he has so many different styles he is able to nail. I loved his vocals from day one. I appreciate that Adam, though singing for the Force known as Queen, he doesnt try to BE Freddy he is Adam and THAT is so admirable. Rock on!! 🎤🎼🎤🎶🎤🎼🤘
Fun fact: I've been listening to live streams of QAL concerts since 2014 and seen them live 5 times. Adam still keeps getting impossibly better with each tour leg and each concert. I'll see them for the 6th time next year in Berlin and I already KNOW they'll blow my mind yet again. Long live Queen + Adam Lambert! PS: You should check out Who Wants To Live Forever at the Isle of Wight festival or Adam solo with his latest Live Session videos for his new album Velvet Side A. ;-)
DUDE, I saw Adam Lambert; I clicked so fast, lol. 😂 I've been following both you & Queen+Adam for a while now, so when this came up, you got me so excited. I'm too young to have seen Freddie live, but I saw Queen with Adam twice on their 1st & 2nd North American tours, and they were absolutely fantastic! And the longer they tour together, the better they get. While WWRY isn't my favorite of Adam's interpretations (though still very good), there are so many songs in their catalogue that Adam interprets & performs brilliantly--Some versions I like even more than the original, believe it or not! Adam is something special to Queen (and to music in general) beyond just the fact that he is keeping the band & their music going--Not only are his vocals & stamina up to the necessary caliber to pull the collaboration off well, but his voice & performance style adds something to the music while simultaneously pulling from it & shining light onto other facets of the songs that are less appreciated otherwise! Love him with Queen, and love his solo stuff, too! Thanks for this review! Hope you review some more songs from QAL's collaboration! :)
Thank you Ken! I saw them live 2 years ago. They were fantastic. There are very few professional rock bands and vocals like Adam's these days. It's worth listening to Adam singing Who Wants's to Live Forever. Amazing.
Thank you for reacting to Queen and Adam! More, please! Love, love, LOVE them! I just wish that once you will choose a video that shows Adam's vocal skills even more!
Brings back high school days from my freshman to senior years in the 1980s during all of our pep assemblies we chanted "We Will, We will, Rock You!!!" and beat our feet on the bleachers... awesome times we had growing up in the 70s and 80s!!!... got only the tail end of the 1960s but least I remember that experience!
GODDDD those people that always have to say "But Adam is not Freddie" "he's not good" Like wtf? Obviously he's not Freddie. And there will NEVER be a second Freddie. But hes like one of the best singers today and is also a very good performer. Like, get over the fact that Queen chose Adam and not someone else. I think it's good that he's with Queen
Not sure if you mentioned this in the video but I think it's worth noting that We Will Rock You and We Are the Champions are the encore songs for QAL. This means that this clip probably follows an entire concert, i.e. hours of singing and playing. That makes the quality of this performance even more impressive for Adam (and obviously Brian and Roger as well). Thanks for this vid!
Hey Ken I love the channel. You should do a reaction video to Adam Lambert singing "who wants to live forever" with Queen. There are some nice videos of him doing that live.
you make a GREAT point.. Adam has certainly injected new life into the band.. and Brain May may be playing better than ever and that was already a high benchmark. Terrific performance.. I might have to go see them.. oh and COOL shirt , Ken :D
I love Queen + Adam Lambert esp their performance of 'Who Wants To Live Forever' at the Isle of Wight in 2016. Would love to see your reaction. Would also like to see your react to some of Adam's solo work, I recommend his live sessions for 'Superpower' and 'Closer To You'.
I think Ken has done 2 other reactions. One to Mad World and the other to Adam's best live vocals. The analysis in the latter by Ken is freakin awesome. Because Adam uses such brilliant and diverse techniques, Ken was able to really spend a lot of time telling us what Adam is actually doing. I've watched it half a dozen times.
Thanks for reviewing Adam singing Queen. I've heard a lot of interviews with him where he says he's not filling Freddie's shoes. He's giving his own thing to the songs. I don't think anyone could ever fill Freddie's shoes. Adam is a brave man to do this. I think he's doing a great job. I think Freddie would be proud to know his songs are getting this kind of respect and care. Thanks again and Take Care.
Adam has a great voice, people are very hard on him and for no good reason in my opinion - of course he’s no Freddie but the man’s voice is very brilliant.
I LOVE Adam Lambert! I was so disappointed when he didnt win AI but so glad now cause he wouldnt be where he is today. I think he has one of the best voices out there today, his voice can go to amazing places that none of these new artists can go🎼🎤🎵🎶
This has been Adam's year with his release of High Drama and his performance at Webley Stadium and healing London Pride. I recently watched a video of Justin Hawkins (The Darkness). He wrote a song on Adam's first album called Music Again. He said that he was outside of a soundproof studio that you couldn't even hear the drums but you could hear Adam's voice always perfectly in tune. If the crowd was outsinging Adam they had to be loud. I saw him for the first time a year ago and he had the most powerful voice I've heard in all the shows I've seen since Karen Carpenter in 1972. Looking forward to seeing him sing as the frontman of Queen soon. I never got to see Freddie but I know it's going to be a great couple of shows!
I caught queen with my dad just before he passed away back in 2006 when Paul Rodgers stepped in. It was pretty cool seeing two masters at their craft. Thank you for the video Ken Brought back a very cool memory for me.
Well Reading the comments must say I am very surprised like wtf. If you guys are Queen Fans you would have seen an interview of Brian May saying they didn't want to fill Freddies shoes. That's not possible. They wanted a great singer and that Adam is a great gift and that his voice is beyond comprehension. Brian's words. So this Martel guy is a mimic. Great voice but wants to sound like Freddie. Adam is Adam. Gosh can you imagine Martel on stage? Rocking? Guys seriously. My first concert ever was Queen. Will never forget. So I've seen him. I've seen Freddie. Adam is amazing. With Queen and without Queen. A singer an artist an entertainer, everything. And as I always say, underrated. And that it's a shame.
I can't imagine anybody else but Adam filling that role. And it's all due to the episode of American Idol, during his season, when they were all doing Queen songs.
I got to say, I never really was a big fan of Adam Lambert's music to be honest. Not that I didn't think he was good it was just his music wasn't really my favorite, but I do say the young man has a great voice and a lot of talent
Seen Queen and Adam Lambert live and believe me .... it was a phenomenal evening. Damn Adam can sing!!!! He isn’t there to replace Freddie he’s there to keep Queen alive .... and he can sing a tad better than this coach!!
Please continue to comment. I am still experiencing delays in receiving your comments. I can't wait to hear from you, but some of your comments are delayed... a LOT! This has been going on for about a month, now. Hang in there with me! I want to know what you think about my videos and what you want to see next! So keep on commenting, and when I see your comment, I will respond!
You talking about the audience. That's a Brazilian audience. Rock in Rio. Brazilians are already the best audience ever, with that big of a crowd, it's just overwhelming
Thanks for this review. Love how Adam inspires you to sing. I saw an interview with Adam where he says that Brian likes to play LOUD. Well, yes, it's not easy for any vocalist to fit in with a rock band. And Adam gives a whole new definition to "fit in". He's the "lead singer". BTW, the sound guys at these concerts are geniuses.
Awesome reaction Ken! I love Adam Lambert with Queen and also solo. I love that he does do his own thing as Queen themselves has said many times they don’t want to tour with someone that is a Freddie impersonator. Plus Adam is naturally flamboyant with fantastic stage presence and has super high vocal range so I think he’s a perfect fit! Brian and Roger seem to really have chemistry with Adam. Thank you again!
While you may not like his tenor on this- he in fact accomplished more than Paul Rodgers- THAT. IS. FACT. .Not putting anyone down ...Ps he won band of year. Also listen Who wants to live forever at the Isle of Wight. And Don't stop me now Rock in Rio.🙌🙅Is amazing. heck of a job! He brought the band to China - where he is really popular. I just follow his solo -current single is in top 40 radio 😝 Jeez he is the only pop singler that tour with a Rock band like this and done what he has. His career is so complicated. fyi. That many Dont know all of it. Like he was on Aviccii's debut album with Nile Rodgers.🙌😉ppl should follow him. He is nice he is also launching his own foundation.
Here’s my take on everyone saying they’d rather see Marc Martel perform with Queen. No doubt, I love Marc Martel and the way he interprets Queen songs because his voice is nearly identical to Freddie, but I can not imagine and I don’t think anybody else in the world would wanna see a straight, married man attempting to run around and dance with a Freddie-like flamboyant ness looool. That is where Adam fits perfectly, but it would not fit Marc at all, and I’m sure he wouldn’t be comfortable with attempting that part of the interpretation of Freddie at all either lol. Especially for the official Queen world tour. I love how Marc and Adam each interpret Queen’s music in their own unique ways and they’re both amazing men, but that’s my perspective on that topic.
@@its_Today_ I know. Did you check out his NEW EP? :P Trying get more ppl to stream. Let me know if you want to know anything about solo career- he released his EP too late. But he already did an award ceremony at the Pride of Britain with Prince Charles in the venue.
Fell in love with Adam from American idol. Would love to see him with queen. Best substitute for Freddy they could find. Miss Freddy but Adam does a great job filling those huge shoes.
@kentamplin PLEASE checkout Adam Lambert + Queen in Helsinki doing Who Wants to Live Forever, one of Adam’s most incredible vocal performances... and I’ve seen a lot of them!
Absolutely cool video! An audience like that must be like fuel to a singer, a band. And as you said he has his own thing, the power of a personality,sure. I´m not able to come up with technical comments on his performance, but it reaches me. Another cool video!
I just seen them in August. Adam was GREAT!! They hologramed Fredie I didn't think show was gonna b good it was excellent he didn't try to be Freddie he has enough flamboyant himself. He came out on a Harley for bicycle. Awesome show and REVIEW!! Was this from wells Fargo center in philly? Same outfit. 👍💜🎼🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🤘nice hitting those notes ken!!
@@kentamplin hey can you a review and have one of your girls cover this wonderful tune so much meaning behind this TUNE for Lindsey❤ ruclips.net/video/49tpIMDy9BE/видео.html
Yes HUGE shoes to fill! I have to give him credit. And "old fartness?" Uhmmm.. they can STILL play better than most of these young bucks coming up. I totally dislike most of the new music because they have no REAL music. My hat's off to Brian May and Roger Traylor. They are still totally unreal!!
Well Done! "We Will Rock You," and "We are the Champions" bring back great memories for me. They were usually played one right after the other, as our fight songs at our (71-75) high school pep rallies! Adam Lambert, even with the crown on his head, does Freddie justice. This is good :-)
I love Adam Lambert You just a lot of other kind of very well but as far as The best other than Of course The original freddie mercury I don't think anybody can step into place but I do believe that the best singer Paul rogers Everything he seems he just rocks it
Check out Adam Lambert singing Cher's song 'Believe' at the Kennedy Center ruclips.net/video/5PzQHZLiUPs/видео.html, he's a brilliant performer who does bring his own energy and stage presence to Queen.
Guitar god! But you need to hear Brian's guitar and Adam's voice "riffing". There aren't too many good videos out there but it is a thing of pure beauty.
Loved your reaction here!! Thought you might be interested in something different with Adam. "Sleepwalker" from his Glam Nation Live tour from his first album. Be sure to watch it live!
Like I've said adam Lambert is awesome all the way around that outfit is hilarious looking but it's his style so far he singing great starting it out its great adam Lambert is rocking it out he will rock us hes amazing singing this great hes spot on great performance that guy on the electric guitar is great to I love good guitar playing as well Ken i love his high notes I have nothing bad to say about him sometimes hes pitchy but always great I would love to see him live he is a champion hes just freaking awesome great reaction Ken 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍thumbs up
I've followed Adam 10 years and counting. Adam is plain old fabulous. I never have ever heard Adam pitchy. He also a spectacular performer. He has the best vocal I've heard in years period.
When the met gala had the theme of "camp", Adam said FINALLY people might understand what I've been doing. People still don't understand and take him waaaay too seriously. Did you see his fact just before he started singing, it was hilarious.
I think, damn let him sing I wanna hear him on this... then you criticize yourself for doing it.... well than ok, I'll sit back down 😂😂😂. Thanks for the great review and laughs too
YES I love what you say about Adam bringing Brian and Roger energy. I was a big Queen fan before 2008 when Adam went on Idol. I remember around the time people thought the new front man of Queen should be this guy that sounds just like Freddie (you can't but he was close) and somewhat looks like him. How boring what that be? Frieddie what hate that
Hey Ken, hope you are good, great review as ever, Queen still rock HARD!!! And Adam Lambert certainly does an awesome job and like you say he has his own vibe and doesn't try and copy the great Freddie! Keep doin your thang ... lovin the reviews ... How about some King's X or Living Colour?!!! 👊
I think that Adam is amazing, but Freddie definitely is in another level, he's a LEGEND!! Great video Ken, my suggestion is a reaction to Loudness 🔥💥🎸🙏
Oh yeah, a new video! Also, you may not remember me but i commented some time ago that i was forming a band and you were helping me a lot. My voice skills got a lot better also the high notes some times i struggle a little but every week i get better. Thank you so much! I won't forget you when we make success.
Ken, I don't think that Queen (Brian & Roger) were looking to "fill" Freddy's shoes; were they, I think they would have had Marc Martel be their front man. Had Marc performed, in that position, I think it would have taken something away from, or compromised Freddy's legacy. We often want to say, "There's nobody like...", in this case "Freddy", and Marc Martel is so much like Freddy, that it's almost scary. Adam is his own man & singer. He does a good job with his added style to the group. Of the two, I like listening to Marc - I think it's just the nostalgia factor... I miss Freddy.
The day the entire world will be able to say something like "he's not replacing Freddie, he's doing his own (amazing) job with Queen songs" heaven will be on earth again
This!!!!!
I've seen them live 2 times now and each time I'm blown away. Adam makes it clear he is not trying to be freddie, hes simply trying to carry on the music. Coming from someone who is a die hard queen fan!

They are phenomenal together, they love performing with each other, the way it should be whoever's shoes are on the stage.
Adam Lambert is one of the best voices on this generation. 2 hours performing live on an eclectic Queen catalogue has proven it.
He's a talented vocalist.
Being praised by legends to.
I saw them in Boston 2 yrs. ago... I've seen my share of concerts but I'd have to say this was one of the best! I have total respect for what Adam has done to revive and bring Queen back to the world stage! The pipes on this kid are amazing! He's a powerhouse! He's an awesome vocal talent!

That's awesome, Anthony!
Adam Lambert is one hell of a singer!!! I don't think anyone but Adam can carry Freddie's torch.
Check out Marc Martel
@@amygaldtoo much of a copycat of Freddie
I agree, I knew it from the first time I heard him sing, He was perfect to replace Freddy.
Still selling out arenas...simply awesome

Exactly. Besides if Brian and Rodger like him who are we to say he doesn't belong
Adam even makes a speech about how he's sad too like the fans because if Freddie's death and hiw he is following in his footsteps. Adam is a Freddie superfan and was nervous to be the frontman.
Both Brian and Roger say Adam is a gift from God …. With an amazing range!
Adam has breathed new life into Queen giving themselves to a completely old and new audience that have been able to enjoy this amazing band …. As if Freddie was still alive he would have been 77 and however great a singer people remember him to have been he wouldn’t be rocking and delivering the power that Adam is able to, in fact the band would have probably have had to retire …. So we salute you Adam as nobody could fill your shoes my friend, your simply the best! ❤
You've got to be courageous to sing with Queen 😉
Indeed.

Adam is amazing.
Emilian he’s a good vocalist with Queen. Adam is a strutter where Freddie used to come on the stage running and jumping around.

Ken, plz check out Adam doing Who Wants To Live Forever at the Isle of Wight festival. I think you can really appreciate his performance!!
These are the last two songs they sing at the concert. Adam sings about 25 songs in each concert.
Check out his live sessions of closer to you and overglow .. its amazing
This reminds me of the film, Rock Star. New guy takes over and rocks hard with the band. Love it. Love it!

Finally an Adam Lamber reaction!! I've been a fan of him since his American Idol days. Such a fine singer!! =) Thanks Ken!!

Um he has done reactions to him before...but should do more...

Adam Lambert - Closer to you (live sessions). I would love to see your reaction and feedback to it. It is sooo good. 😍
It is a stunning performance.❤
Totally agree with you Ken ...hard shoes to fill, but Adam has become a great asset to the band...I think Freddie is giving a smile of approval. 😊
I'm glad we agree, Gretchen!
Adam has a great voice, people are very hard on him and for no good reason in my opinion - of course he’s no Freddie but the man’s voice is very brilliant.
Some People are idiots and cant get beyond the past. Adam is doing a Amazing Job with Queen. His Solo Stuff is Great too
Listen to Velvet -Masterpiece
I LOVE Adam Lambert! I was so disappointed when he didnt win AI but so glad now cause he wouldnt be where he is today. I think he has one of the best voices out there today, his voice can go to amazing places that none of these new artists can go🎼🎤🎵🎶

Brought back a very cool memory for me.
Love Adam! He is a force! Love his outfit too!
He is very talented, Deborah!
Well Reading the comments must say I am very surprised like wtf. If you guys are Queen Fans you would have seen an interview of Brian May saying they didn't want to fill Freddies shoes. That's not possible. They wanted a great singer and that Adam is a great gift and that his voice is beyond comprehension. Brian's words.
So this Martel guy is a mimic. Great voice but wants to sound like Freddie. Adam is Adam. Gosh can you imagine Martel on stage? Rocking? Guys seriously.
My first concert ever was Queen. Will never forget. So I've seen him. I've seen Freddie. Adam is amazing. With Queen and without Queen. A singer an artist an entertainer, everything. And as I always say, underrated. And that it's a shame.
😊
I totally agree with you 🙂
I can't imagine anybody else but Adam filling that role. And it's all due to the episode of American Idol, during his season, when they were all doing Queen songs.
Lisa Meunier 👍👍👍
Actually they did not have a Queen episode in Adam's season. He just sang Bohemian Rhapsody at his audition.
I got to say, I never really was a big fan of Adam Lambert's music to be honest. Not that I didn't think he was good it was just his music wasn't really my favorite, but I do say the young man has a great voice and a lot of talent
Seen Queen and Adam Lambert live and believe me .... it was a phenomenal evening. Damn Adam can sing!!!! He isn’t there to replace Freddie he’s there to keep Queen alive .... and he can sing a tad better than this coach!!
Thanks for weighing in, Helen!
Please continue to comment. I am still experiencing delays in receiving your comments. I can't wait to hear from you, but some of your comments are delayed... a LOT! This has been going on for about a month, now. Hang in there with me! I want to know what you think about my videos and what you want to see next! So keep on commenting, and when I see your comment, I will respond!
In my opinion the greatest singer ever🥰❤️❤️❤️
Rock on!
I saw some of the concert that Queen did in Australia for fire Aid and it was outstanding!
Awesome!
React to Queen + AL - Who wants to live forever!
You talking about the audience. That's a Brazilian audience. Rock in Rio. Brazilians are already the best audience ever, with that big of a crowd, it's just overwhelming
Rock on, Bruna. 😀
You should react to Queen and Adam Lambert live on x factor UK... his vocals are incredible... trust me!!!! Watch it
They do Somebody to love
Thanks for this review. Love how Adam inspires you to sing. I saw an interview with Adam where he says that Brian likes to play LOUD. Well, yes, it's not easy for any vocalist to fit in with a rock band. And Adam gives a whole new definition to "fit in". He's the "lead singer". BTW, the sound guys at these concerts are geniuses.
Glad you enjoyed it, Whiskyburns!
Awesome reaction Ken! I love Adam Lambert with Queen and also solo. I love that he does do his own thing as Queen themselves has said many times they don’t want to tour with someone that is a Freddie impersonator. Plus Adam is naturally flamboyant with fantastic stage presence and has super high vocal range so I think he’s a perfect fit! Brian and Roger seem to really have chemistry with Adam. Thank you again!
Well said, Jame.
I agree. I was about to make a similar comment, but you said it perfectly.
While you may not like his tenor on this- he in fact accomplished more than Paul Rodgers- THAT. IS. FACT. .Not putting anyone down ...Ps he won band of year. Also listen Who wants to live forever at the Isle of Wight. And Don't stop me now Rock in Rio.🙌🙅Is amazing. heck of a job! He brought the band to China - where he is really popular.
I just follow his solo -current single is in top 40 radio 😝 Jeez he is the only pop singler that tour with a Rock band like this and done what he has. His career is so complicated. fyi. That many Dont know all of it. Like he was on Aviccii's debut album with Nile Rodgers.🙌😉ppl should follow him. He is nice he is also launching his own foundation.
Here’s my take on everyone saying they’d rather see Marc Martel perform with Queen. No doubt, I love Marc Martel and the way he interprets Queen songs because his voice is nearly identical to Freddie, but I can not imagine and I don’t think anybody else in the world would wanna see a straight, married man attempting to run around and dance with a Freddie-like flamboyant ness looool. That is where Adam fits perfectly, but it would not fit Marc at all, and I’m sure he wouldn’t be comfortable with attempting that part of the interpretation of Freddie at all either lol. Especially for the official Queen world tour. I love how Marc and Adam each interpret Queen’s music in their own unique ways and they’re both amazing men, but that’s my perspective on that topic.
So what's your part-time job like?
I tour with a legendary band.
MasiaDe Lol! Not a bad side-gig, gotta admit 😊❤️
@@its_Today_ I know. Did you check out his NEW EP? :P Trying get more ppl to stream. Let me know if you want to know anything about solo career- he released his EP too late. But he already did an award ceremony at the Pride of Britain with Prince Charles in the venue.
I think we have found the new Freddie
Does anybody feel liking swaying back and forth and conducting when
“We are the champions” comes on
Freddie Mercury👍
Fell in love with Adam from American idol. Would love to see him with queen. Best substitute for Freddy they could find. Miss Freddy but Adam does a great job filling those huge shoes.
He sure does, KAREN.
@kentamplin PLEASE checkout Adam Lambert + Queen in Helsinki doing Who Wants to Live Forever, one of Adam’s most incredible vocal performances... and I’ve seen a lot of them!
Absolutely cool video! An audience like that must be like fuel to a singer, a band. And as you said he has his own thing, the power of a personality,sure. I´m not able to come up with technical comments on his performance, but it reaches me. Another cool video!
Adam is great!
Ken you have to watch Queen+Adam doing Who wants to live forever in Rio.
Thanks for the suggestion, Tim!
@@kentamplin Isle of Wight is better.
I just seen them in August. Adam was GREAT!! They hologramed Fredie I didn't think show was gonna b good it was excellent he didn't try to be Freddie he has enough flamboyant himself. He came out on a Harley for bicycle. Awesome show and REVIEW!! Was this from wells Fargo center in philly? Same outfit. 👍💜🎼🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🤘nice hitting those notes ken!!
That's great to hear, Cheri!
@@kentamplin hey can you a review and have one of your girls cover this wonderful tune so much meaning behind this TUNE for Lindsey❤

“ reviving the old fartness” you win the Internet😂
Nunya Bizness 😁
@@kentamplin Actually thats what Brian may and Roger said...just not the whole saying...but he made them feel young again.
The band is still super tight🔥
Dizzle 75 👍👍👍
Yes HUGE shoes to fill! I have to give him credit. And "old fartness?" Uhmmm.. they can STILL play better than most of these young bucks coming up. I totally dislike most of the new music because they have no REAL music. My hat's off to Brian May and Roger Traylor. They are still totally unreal!!
Have you checked his new Ep? He brought back old pop sound. :)
Well Done! "We Will Rock You," and "We are the Champions" bring back great memories for me. They were usually played one right after the other, as our fight songs at our (71-75) high school pep rallies! Adam Lambert, even with the crown on his head, does Freddie justice. This is good :-)
I love Adam Lambert You just a lot of other kind of very well but as far as The best other than Of course The original freddie mercury I don't think anybody can step into place but I do believe that the best singer Paul rogers Everything he seems he just rocks it
Check out Adam Lambert singing Cher's song 'Believe' at the Kennedy Center ruclips.net/video/5PzQHZLiUPs/видео.html, he's a brilliant performer who does bring his own energy and stage presence to Queen.
Thanks for the suggestion, Steve!
I always think Adam Lambert is a walking masterclass for singing🤣
Adam is fantastic!
Noting that the concert seems to be in Japan. People obsess over Queen pretty hard here.
Wow, I was curious, so I looked it up..Brian May is 72!!!
He still rocks.
Guitar god! But you need to hear Brian's guitar and Adam's voice "riffing". There aren't too many good videos out there but it is a thing of pure beauty.
Loved your reaction here!! Thought you might be interested in something different with Adam. "Sleepwalker" from his Glam Nation Live tour from his first album. Be sure to watch it live!
Thanks for the suggestion, Annie!
Yes please
He's the prince man! Freddie was King, and Adam's the Prince.
Gareth Thomas 👍
Powerfull voice! Queen for ever!!!🥰😍🤩💕💕💕💕
👍💜😀
Like I've said adam Lambert is awesome all the way around that outfit is hilarious looking but it's his style so far he singing great starting it out its great adam Lambert is rocking it out he will rock us hes amazing singing this great hes spot on great performance that guy on the electric guitar is great to I love good guitar playing as well Ken i love his high notes I have nothing bad to say about him sometimes hes pitchy but always great I would love to see him live he is a champion hes just freaking awesome great reaction Ken 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍thumbs up
Well said, Cade.
Thanks Ken your the man
I've followed Adam 10 years and counting. Adam is plain old fabulous. I never have ever heard Adam pitchy. He also a spectacular performer. He has the best vocal I've heard in years period.
When the met gala had the theme of "camp", Adam said FINALLY people might understand what I've been doing.
People still don't understand and take him waaaay too seriously. Did you see his fact just before he started singing, it was hilarious.
I think, damn let him sing I wanna hear him on this... then you criticize yourself for doing it.... well than ok, I'll sit back down 😂😂😂. Thanks for the great review and laughs too
Hey Ken you need to listen to adam Lambert sing believe live he sings it awesome as well it's great
Thanks, Cade.
Your welcome ken
Ken where do you get your shirts ? That one is rockin!
Father's Day gifts from the kids.

@@kentamplin Don't lie ken you hand pick them yourself :D :D
I would pee to even spell a word with them on stage
Ken you are a really funny guy - and one hell of a singer to boot!
Thanks...Rock on!
YES I love what you say about Adam bringing Brian and Roger energy. I was a big Queen fan before 2008 when Adam went on Idol. I remember around the time people thought the new front man of Queen should be this guy that sounds just like Freddie (you can't but he was close) and somewhat looks like him. How boring what that be? Frieddie what hate that
Thanks for the visit. Rock on!
You made me laugh with the throwing the crown thing.
😁
Hey Ken, hope you are good, great review as ever, Queen still rock HARD!!! And Adam Lambert certainly does an awesome job and like you say he has his own vibe and doesn't try and copy the great Freddie! Keep doin your thang ... lovin the reviews ... How about some King's X or Living Colour?!!! 👊
Glad you enjoyed it!
I think that Adam is amazing, but Freddie definitely is in another level, he's a LEGEND!! Great video Ken, my suggestion is a reaction to Loudness
🔥💥🎸🙏
Thanks for the suggestion.
You should react to his live session of 'Closer to you' !
I'll check it out, Lisa's avenue!
@@kentamplin new song
@@kentamplin yess! It's one of my favourite Adam Lambert performances!
Absolutely check out his live version of Adam's Closer to You. It is stunning.
yaaaaaas Adam!!
Miška Burandová 👍👍👍
Power singing.Clean version of Fredi.No voice distortion like Fredi but new Queen young blood and hard job to be close as possible to original.
RIght? Well said.
Thanks Ken.
Oh yeah, a new video! Also, you may not remember me but i commented some time ago that i was forming a band and you were helping me a lot. My voice skills got a lot better also the high notes some times i struggle a little but every week i get better. Thank you so much! I won't forget you when we make success.
Can't wait to hear about your success!
That was awesome...thanks, Ken...you rock!!!! 💗💗💗
So do you, Shauna Marie.
Amazing concert! Thanks for sharing.
Thanks for stopping by, Hector.
Watch him singing Who wants to live forever at the Isleof White festival. He trumps Freddie in that one. Even Brian said so
😊
Ken, I don't think that Queen (Brian & Roger) were looking to "fill" Freddy's shoes; were they, I think they would have had Marc Martel be their front man. Had Marc performed, in that position, I think it would have taken something away from, or compromised Freddy's legacy. We often want to say, "There's nobody like...", in this case "Freddy", and Marc Martel is so much like Freddy, that it's almost scary. Adam is his own man & singer. He does a good job with his added style to the group. Of the two, I like listening to Marc - I think it's just the nostalgia factor... I miss Freddy.
finally
Yay!
Hey, Ken. Cool vid. Thats all 😉 cheers 👍🏻🤘🏻
Thanks, ToxSic PunK!
hahaha you reaction at the sudden end, amazing
Glad you enjoyed it!
Hahaha,such a funny video 😂Love it
