He’s not in it to be “judged” against Freddie. He’s in it to “carry-on” Freddie. And you want to talk about wardrobe? Please… Freddie was a queen when it came to his outfits. 🖤
Love Adam and Queen they have been together for 8 years and over 200 concerts if he's good enough for Roger and Brian then why complain they are keeping him as lead singer I seen Queen in 1978 and I'm a life long fan and I love Adam he fits in with the band from Canada
First: the other guy is a drum technician. Second: Adam is the best male singer alive (prove me wrong). Third: Adam is a fashion icon. Fourth: of course Adam is not Freddie, the guy has been dead for 30 years, Adam is giving us a favor keeping Queen alive, and the proof is that in a decade they have sell all over the world arenas and stadiums for millions of people. Fifth, Adam is not a copy cat, he is unique, and is considered the most charismatic performer alive.
There are plenty with just as much or even more charisma than Lambert. But he does have the range and skill set to carry Queen songs. Moreover he gets on well with Brian and Roger so he is the best fit for their lead vocalist.I’m just glad they can still tour and we get to enjoy these songs live in large venues. Best enjoy it while we still can - Brian and Roger might not be able to do this for long.
Freddie Mercury performed in tiny white shorts and nothing else. He performed in a Harlequin jumpsuit. He performed in a white dress. And you're worried about Adam's outfit?
*lol* love Freddy and his audacity to do those on stage. You’re right Adam is tame compared to Freddie. You can’t really find anyone with Freddie’s voice, talent and guts. Adam has the range and a bit of that adventurousness. He’s no Freddie but he fits the mold well enough for Queen frontman.
You say let’s give the guy a chance ….. Adam Lambert doesn’t need you to give him a chance, he has made it not only as an individual artist successfully but as Queens front man now for years! Helping to keep Brian and Roger still rocking to HUGE audiences…… I am in my 70’s and was never a Queen fanatic when Freddie was front man but Adam has captivated me and I just can’t get enough of Queen but with Adam Lambert ….. Brian and Roger both acknowledge how amazing Adam is quoting he is a Gift from God! Adam has an out of this world range and deserves to be acknowledged for his talent and not constantly compared to Freddie and for those who can’t let Freddie go that’s fine but please please let the rest of us who have become Queen fans since Adam and for those who were great queen fans before but accept Adam is fantastic continue to enjoy this bands music for what it is now. Queen with Adam Lambert kicked off our dear late Queen Elizabeth’s Platinum Jubilee concert and Adam looked and sounded spectacular, being good enough to serenade our late Queen then he has to be something special together with Brian and Roger!!! ❤ 🇬🇧🇬🇧🇺🇸🇺🇸
Dude can sing his ass off listen and react to more of his stuff alone and with Queen i suggest Who Wants to Live Forever at the Isle of Wight Festival one the best Vocal performances i've ever heard.
The other drummer was Rogers son. As for Adam he is the best singer of our now I am old and did not care for Freddies voice to me he was a good singer but I did not like rock music I am 82 yrs old and fell in love with Adams voice , showmanship and charisma he led me to Queen and now I am a fan
can't replace Freddie, no one can BUT, Adam does say that he isn't trying to replace Freddie, he says it at every concert. however, he is bringing Queen to a whole new generation, and that's wonderful. Freddie did tell them that he didn't care what they did with his music as long as it wasn't boring - well, Adam is not boring. and let's face it, we go to concerts to hear the brilliant music. two drummers - one was probably Roger's son, Rufus. he quite often joins them on tour and is following in his dad's footprints - an exceptional drummer. rock on, welcome to the rabbit hole
I think Adam is amazing. Of course he's not Freddie(no one can be) , but he's not trying to be him either, he's doing his own thing. And he's also doing it as a tribute to him. He's a huge fan too and he's doing to so Brian and Roger can continue performing. He often adressing that in their concerts and that he lives Freddie too. I think he's doing a great job singing their songs.
the extra percussionist is there to ease Rogers work in a 2 hour concert. From what I understand Rogers footwork on drums is lacking these days. Also this being a 20 min special event, a one off, they played faster and more energetic
Rover Waters I figured it was something like that. Had no idea about his physical limitations, but I totally understand. Drums are a very demanding instrument. Thanks for the info and for watching ❤️
React to Queen and Lambert at the Isle of Wight. His wardrobe? Really? Have you met Freddie? LOL! Brian and Roger have told their fans who can't appreciate Adam to "fuck off"...Yes, that IS a direct quote. Lambert performs night after night on tour and we've seen them live over 15 times and they always blow us away! Try another, like Who Wants To Live Forever from the Isle of Wight. Later Gator!
Adam is a amazing singer. He can sing everything and his range is from the heaven. I prefer Adam's voice than Freddie's. Don't attack me, it's my opinion. And than excuse me for my english, I'm from Belgium and I speak French.
Lucia Herion I agree take Freddie out of the equation and Adam is a gift to Queen, amazing voice, great performance and a nice guy who gets on well with Roger and Brian.
@@derkommentar5013 You're just showing your lack of maturity with these comments. Do you think Freddie would give you the time of day, if he saw them? He would be utterly ashamed
Watch the complete 20 minutes of the benefit concert where they played the Live Aid set, Adam's voice is just stunning. This is the link to the full 20: ruclips.net/video/sQEN6qdUk2w/видео.html
Adam is amazing. I don’t think this was the best one to react to. The vocals should have been turned up as they were lower but please do a different song for a reaction. How about who wants to live forever or somebody to love.
Definitely gotta echo the other opinions here. Adam is good. He's not Freddie, but he's still a damn good singer and he fits well with Queen. All I care about is that Roger & Brian like him, and he helps them keep doing what they love - performing! As for why there's two drums, I think it just helps "thicken" up the sound so to speak, since Queen likes strong drum tones and they play huge stadiums. Also, it's probably to help take some pressure off of Rog. He's still as good as ever (trust me - go watch some of his recent solos or his recent Instagram mini drum lessons) but he can't hit *quite* as hard anymore since he has arthritis in both his hands. Having the second drum to fill small bits here and there probably help him relax slightly so he can pull out the harder hits no problem and feel better after long sets. That's what I'd assume, at least. Could just be they wanted to experiment a bit!
Why do people never stop saying he’s no Freddie? I’m gonna say that Freddie is no Adam Lambert either. In terms of sheer vocal ability and skill, Adam is a better vocalist if you’re honestly truthful. Attack me, I don’t care, but I believe that .
They were doing the full live aid set✨full circle for charity. Bri & Roger still got it there both in there 70’s. ✨If you want to hear the vocals better check out the Rhapsody Tour. The opening is really good. BTW Adam not trying to be Freddie. As a 50 yr fan Queen wouldn’t be out there if it wasn’t such a good partnership. So we all get to still enjoy the music👑
They have 2 drummers because Roger played a variety of drums and other percussion instruments in Queen songs. It adds to the depth of the music plus Tyler also provides background vocals as does Spike Edney (keys) and Neil Fairclough (bass). I agree with Adam's volume. He has a voice that you can literally feel vibrate through you when he sings. Everyone is right about Who Wants to Live Forever at the Isle of Wight. It's a performance of that still makes me tear up. Adam's solo career has a number of amazing songs as well. A couple of his songs from his last album to check out are On the Moon or Closer to You. The live sessions are great but he also did both songs on The James Corden show and... WOW! Him and just a guitar player for On the Moon and with just a piano player for Closer to You. You can also see a full Queen + Adam Lambert concert. There's a video of their Rock in Rio performance on RUclips.
I completely agree with your charisma comment. The more I listen the more I realise how important John Deacon was to the Queen sound. Saw them this year. Love your reactions
Definitely go see them in concert. You'll get better vocal quality and also a better idea of Adam's charisma and stage presence. He isn't trying to "replace" Freddie, he's just the best male singer around these days and Brian and Roger wouldn't be out there if it wasn't for him. They chose him. BTW, Freddie was a high baritone in pitch, Adam is a leggerio tenor. He can hit higher notes than Freddie did. In many of Queen's recordings its Roger who is singing the higher notes. Also, fashion choice? Freddie had some pretty interesting fashion choices as well, which at the time were kinda looked down on (not by the fans usually, by those observing -dare I use the term "establishment"?). And I believe that the second drummer is often Roger's son although I don't know if he was on this tour. They have similar styles.
Not a great song for a reaction. Definitely do the Isle of Wight festival “who wants to live forever”. Freddie wore some crazy clothes on stage and Adam even said he wears crazy stuff for the show but it’s not what he would wear in his everyday life, it’s all for show. Adam does a great job for Queen and those chose him because he was a great fit for them so we can’t question that. Thanks for reviewing - please do more with Adam.
there was definitely something wrong with Adam's mic - I wear a $2,000 high-tech hearing aid and can hear a needle fall - I could barely hear Adam and the music was way too loud for his voice - so don't judge Adam on this song
No one will take the place of Freddie, but I think Adam does a good job. One of the drummers is Rogers son. I’m not sure but I think Roger can’t play like he use too.
Sandra Kelley it’s not Roger’s son. It is Tyler Warren from Nashville. He provides extra percussion and rhythm for them. Roger was always so hard hitting, and I think that has abated a bit-but he is still very good! Tyler has been doing a bunch of Instagram live concerts for charity of late.
It is nice to see you react to Queen, there are so many awesome live performances with Freddie please check out Now I am Here live at the Hammersmith Odeon 1979 ruclips.net/video/pkkFKUmFJ70/видео.html or Hammer To Fall live at Wembley 1986 ruclips.net/video/lkZGvdIIA6k/видео.html. Adam is a good singer but he is not a good rock singer, he does have the grit and power. It sounds as if the song was lowered, or something sounds off with this version of Hammer To Fall.
Gotta see him live, babe - his charisma is off the charts - try "Somebody to Love" - Isle of Wight - a barn burner - in fact, all "Alive Around the World" - QAL's new release - #1 in the UK after decades -
That drummer is Roger's son and I am a fan of Adam and now a fan of Queen because of Adam This song was recorded by some one in the audience close to the speakers the worst place try one taken from the front there are many and try another song fo better results and won't put Adam in a bad light he is awesome and deserves better
myfaircher thank you so much for the kind words. Hopefully when the current situation blows off I get to see them live one day. That would be amazing. Thanks for watching ❤️❤️ stay safe
Did you know that Brian has his own RUclips channel called BrianMayCom. He gives short talks and lessons. He’s on Twitter as well as Instagram. I know that his Twitter handle is @DrBrianMay (He has a PhD in Astrophysics). Perhaps his Instagram is the same. I rarely use it. He even posts visits to NASA on RUclips. Nice that you gave Adam a chance. I’m all for anything that brings more fans to Queen music. I still prefer Freddie & John. The other drummer is Roger’s son, Rufus Tiger Taylor, helping out his Dad.
Many people have to dig deeper into Adam and his huge vocals. Maybe react to Lucy by Adam, he has collaborated with Brian on it. And it's not 75%of Queen it's "only" 50%
"Let's give the guy a chance" you said and then didn't. Adam is not Freddie...big surprise, he's actually his own person, and he has an amazing voice and a great personality. And your clothes comments????Did you actually watch Freddie's wardrobe???
Although I really like Adam as a solo artist, I have a really hard time listening to him singing Queen songs. Adam is a great singer, but he is no Freddie Mercury. The songs all sound wrong in my ears. Hats off to Roger and Brian for continuing their musical career. They put 20 years into Queen songs, and are legends! I would rather listen to an old Queen album any day.
It's your problem. I definitely love listening to the songs in Lambert's version and Adam is definitely a better singer than Freddie. Adam is the best singer ever. It's crazy some people are deaf willingly.
Why 2 drummers ... Roger Taylor and son Rufus Taylor ... (I am guessing because at 70yrs of age, playing a 2 hour set is pretty intense) and is Roger succession planning with son Rufus?
Man, about the focus issue: it seems to me you’re recording these with a DSLR? If so, then just switch the lens to manual focus (a little knob on the side of the lens) and make sure it is focused where you want - propably on you ;) I also see you might be using a wide aperture. If you still move out the focus area, then just close the aperture a bit, e.g. from 2.8 to 5.6 or so. Then You just need to keep the camera and yourself in same distance when doing the videos, which you seem to be doing anyway. Now its on autofocus and the camera propably sees more contrasted points in you your quitar necks and prefers to focus there. Other option would be to make your background more uniform - less objects - so that the autofocus sees you as the best option to focus on.
Brilliant singer ,still miss Freddie ,can you please react ,to princes of the universe ,by queen written for the movie highlander ,great track thank you ,stay safe from Liverpool UK x
Yes, it was a benefit concert and Queen offered their "Live Aid" set for the first time since '85! Adam has an awesome voice! I can't get behind his 'fashionista' wanna be clothes (I know it's a show, but...) but you should listen to him sing "Who Wants to Live Forever" at the Isle of Wight concert. Brian said he never heard anyone sing it so well... Thanks! I'm not sure why 2 drummers but they have for some time. Roger's son Rufus toured with them many years, and now Tyler Warren, was also in the tribute band Queen Extravaganza, chosen by Roger. Maybe they want more/other sound, and/or Rog needs some backup.
It is great that they were doing doing this for charity, but I don't understand why they have to copy their Live Aid set, which is generally known as Freddie triumph. You would think they would be able generate their own set.
@BlackQueen29 Because they are basically just reliving past glory. Live Aid is mostly remembered because of Freddie's charisma. Instead of doing the same greatest hits, you would think a fan of Adam would at least want something new from him, instead of being in a cover band.
**Zenobia** ITA...good point there! I realize this Q+AL thingy is all ‘bout singing Queen greatest hits but to do their ‘85 Live Aid set was a HUGE let down for one reason & one reason only...Freddie AND Deacy weren’t there to perform it with them. Part of Freddie’s charisma and showmanship was his piano & guitar playing! We DON’T see Lamburp play any instruments🤔. but what we do see is him putting on some Broadway, cabaret, or some cruise show. This set is yet another example of why he shouldn't be fronting a rock band. He's made for his solo career [which I quite enjoy btw] but can't take his lack of interpreting Queen songs and sing them with feelin'. The way he sings, he's just regurgitating the songs as if being in some high school glee club. If there's to be another fund rising concert similar to this one they did, I pray they choose other song selections...perhaps the ones they were squabbling over before coming to the set they’d ended-up performing. Maylor would remember what those songs were. Perhaps give a Deacy song or two a chance to see some limelight instead of always playing “WWRY!” 😖
BlackQueen29 They are not filling stadiums, it is mostly arenas. They have not filled stadiums if it wasn’t attached to some type of festival. A lot of people are there to see Brian and Roger. Just watch this reaction, this reactioner would go to see Brian. They are not there for Adam Lambert. Queen gained a lot of new fans through the movie. If it was a different singer the fans would still be there. They have clearly lost some fans along the way, they are not playing to the same numbers as they used to. Adam’s last single barely sold 5k copies. He is losing fans. He is a good singer, but he has no business fronting a rock band.
@Motown 1966 Agreed! Freddie performed everything with passion and dedication. Adam is a singer that is more geared towards theatre and pop. He doesn’t have any grit. He acts out the songs, he tends to plan every move out in advance, whereas rock is spontaneous and sometimes a bit dirty.
Marc Martel sounds More like Freddie than Adam does. However Adam has a fantastic voice, and I believe Queen, Being the showmen they are chose Adam because of his Flamboyant stage presence as well as voice. Marc Martel was chosen to headline the Queen extravaganza tours , which were great too. But God I sure miss Freddie ! I love to watch you react , because you are in the industry, and do what so many people today have forgotten to do , or never learned how to do , and that is "Really Listen" to the music.
Just feel it’s not Queen if they’re not outrageous. Adam fits them better than Marc. Can’t imagine Marc lounging on top of the piano, riding a bike on stage, or wearing ridiculous clothes whilst singing those songs. Queen does those things which makes them so different. And from the videos I’ve seen of Adam’s earlier concerts before he joined Queen, he does those things on his own as well so he’s a great fit to the band. I mean his dancing about on stage is so naturally himself... I can see a bit of Freddie in him more than I see on Marc or Paul. Those singers have great voice and does the songs justice, but they just don’t fit Queen in terms of the spirit and persona of the band.
Plz do ur homework before reacting to Adam with Queen or Adam's solo work..he is not Freddie ,and he is not even trying to be, he is unique and precious... You know what? He is way better singer than Freddie trust me.... And 4 the charisma he was born to be a performer no question about it ... Don't judge him before going to his concert solo or with Queen .... Don't compare him to Freddie he brings his own spin to the songs and he sings them in the original key something Freddie had never done ....finally this dude has a voice in a billion
You know, it's just your opinion vs anyone else's opinion... I love Adams' voice, so glad he's fronting for Queen! But please, he's a block of wood compared to Freddie and his clothes suck...And this guy wasn't actually criticizing Adam's voice - he was saying the voice audio on the recording was low - was hard to hear over the music audio.
Your having a laugh ........ freddie couldnt sing in key....... jesus go watch his work with Monserratt and free love..... nothing against the boy Adam but its chalk and cheese...... By the way reaction chap 2 guys from queen is not 75% of queen ........
Yeah your right i can see it now ........ Brian to Freddie ...... listen mate your way off your notes man, if only you could sing in key we could have made it really big........😂😂😂😂😂😂
I hear that they’ve changed the act’s name to ‘Adam and the Backstabbers’. Much more appropriate for this 3rd rate cover band. Queen died in 1991, just ask John Deacon. I can’t even watch this abomination.
This so called "abomination " as you put it UPLIFTED our country Australia 🇦🇺 at a desperate time. We lost so much in the devastating fires. They raised over 2 million dollars for fire victims in this short set alone. Brian and Roger have every right to play THEIR music, and if they choose Adam to front the band , they so can honey. Like your negative option counts 🤣🤣
@@redpoppy7281 Yeah, I still can't understand these people who are hating on Adam when he's performing for charity. They are the lowest form of humans. They'd still be complaining if it was their house that burned down.
Lambert singing Queen makes my ears bleed and my soul vomit. Marc Martel is so far musically superior to him in every way, that it's truly laughable. He should have stuck to his own pop material, he's FAR better suited for that. Don't bother coming @ me Glamberts.
He’s not in it to be “judged” against Freddie. He’s in it to “carry-on” Freddie.
And you want to talk about wardrobe? Please… Freddie was a queen when it came to his outfits. 🖤
Go see them in person indeed, if you can. Adam wins over all sceptics in no time. His voice is insane.
When you see Adam in person, you will appreciate more the power he has
No amiga Freddy Mercury es irremplazable el número 1 el tiene mejor registro vocal

Adam does a great job for Queen and those chose him because he was a great fit for them so we can’t question that. Thanks for reviewing - please do more with Adam.
I’m just laughing at your criticism of his outfit!! 😂 Freddie would disagree!!
ADAM LAMBERT IS THE GREATEST SINGER IN THE WORLD
😂😂
there was definitely something wrong with Adam's mic - I wear a $2,000 high-tech hearing aid and can hear a needle fall - I could barely hear Adam and the music was way too loud for his voice - so don't judge Adam on this song
Clothes don’t “make the man,” but to each his own.
Dude! You are funny! And spot on! Except, I think you mean 50% Queen.
No one will take the place of Freddie, but I think Adam does a good job. One of the drummers is Rogers son. I’m not sure but I think Roger can’t play like he use too.
Sandra Kelley it’s not Roger’s son. It is Tyler Warren from Nashville. He provides extra percussion and rhythm for them. Roger was always so hard hitting, and I think that has abated a bit-but he is still very good! Tyler has been doing a bunch of Instagram live concerts for charity of late.
Your smile when Brian plays in infectious man 😆👍🏻🤘🏻
It is nice to see you react to Queen, there are so many awesome live performances with Freddie please check out Now I am Here live at the Hammersmith Odeon 1979 ruclips.net/video/pkkFKUmFJ70/видео.html or Hammer To Fall live at Wembley 1986 ruclips.net/video/lkZGvdIIA6k/видео.html. Adam is a good singer but he is not a good rock singer, he does have the grit and power. It sounds as if the song was lowered, or something sounds off with this version of Hammer To Fall.
50% of Queen, not 75% - you forgot John Deacon!
Queen and Adam Lambert Who Wants to Live Forever Isle of Wright you will be blown away
Gotta see him live, babe - his charisma is off the charts - try "Somebody to Love" - Isle of Wight - a barn burner - in fact, all "Alive Around the World" - QAL's new release - #1 in the UK after decades -
That drummer is Roger's son and I am a fan of Adam and now a fan of Queen because of Adam This song was recorded by some one in the audience close to the speakers the worst place try one taken from the front there are many and try another song fo better results and won't put Adam in a bad light he is awesome and deserves better
No, He is Tyler Warren from Queen extravaganza. Rufus Taylor is the drummer in The Darkness
You are very entertaining! Saw them 2 years ago with Adam... It was incredible!
myfaircher thank you so much for the kind words. Hopefully when the current situation blows off I get to see them live one day. That would be amazing. Thanks for watching ❤️❤️ stay safe
Adam Lambert Ring of Fire. Amazing vocals.
Did you know that Brian has his own RUclips channel called BrianMayCom. He gives short talks and lessons. He’s on Twitter as well as Instagram. I know that his Twitter handle is @DrBrianMay (He has a PhD in Astrophysics). Perhaps his Instagram is the same. I rarely use it. He even posts visits to NASA on RUclips. Nice that you gave Adam a chance. I’m all for anything that brings more fans to Queen music. I still prefer Freddie & John. The other drummer is Roger’s son, Rufus Tiger Taylor, helping out his Dad.
The other drummer is Tyler Warren. Rufus left in 2017. 😊
Adam Lambert blows up anything he sings. Thank god Queen is smarter than the negative a holes
Many people have to dig deeper into Adam and his huge vocals. Maybe react to Lucy by Adam, he has collaborated with Brian on it.
And it's not 75%of Queen it's "only" 50%
S J I’ll definitely check it out. And yes I’m great at math 😂😂 thanks for watching ❤️
Ghost town rock in rio with queen as his back up
I have to recommend you Queen + Adam Lambert - Who wants to live Forever live at The Isle of Wight festival 2016, Adam's vocal is mind blowing. :)
I definitely need to check this out ❤️❤️ thanks for recommending
@@LewisTexidorMusic Can't wait. ❤️🙏
Bleh. Why have hamburger when you can have steak?
You are rather rude. Seriously.
@Jeanette Kejling LOL. You do know that this performance is -- wait for it -- on a video, right?
"Let's give the guy a chance" you said and then didn't. Adam is not Freddie...big surprise, he's actually his own person, and he has an amazing voice and a great personality. And your clothes comments????Did you actually watch Freddie's wardrobe???
Mehta, just ok
Oooh! Can you do ‘The New Beatles with Kelly Clarkson’ next?
Hey, dear one- get a life. oh wait...
Hmmmm this sounds interesting. Definetly gonna have to check this out. Thank you ❤️
Although I really like Adam as a solo artist, I have a really hard time listening to him singing Queen songs. Adam is a great singer, but he is no Freddie Mercury. The songs all sound wrong in my ears. Hats off to Roger and Brian for continuing their musical career. They put 20 years into Queen songs, and are legends! I would rather listen to an old Queen album any day.
It's your problem. I definitely love listening to the songs in Lambert's version and Adam is definitely a better singer than Freddie. Adam is the best singer ever. It's crazy some people are deaf willingly.
Why 2 drummers ... Roger Taylor and son Rufus Taylor ... (I am guessing because at 70yrs of age, playing a 2 hour set is pretty intense) and is Roger succession planning with son Rufus?
You are right. Adam does not have Freddie's magic! He's a good singer, but far below the greatness of Freddie.
Could you react to the original Live Aid ;)))
I love that performance. "Somebody to love" live 1981 Montreal are my 2 fav live performances.
Man, about the focus issue: it seems to me you’re recording these with a DSLR? If so, then just switch the lens to manual focus (a little knob on the side of the lens) and make sure it is focused where you want - propably on you ;) I also see you might be using a wide aperture. If you still move out the focus area, then just close the aperture a bit, e.g. from 2.8 to 5.6 or so. Then You just need to keep the camera and yourself in same distance when doing the videos, which you seem to be doing anyway. Now its on autofocus and the camera propably sees more contrasted points in you your quitar necks and prefers to focus there. Other option would be to make your background more uniform - less objects - so that the autofocus sees you as the best option to focus on.
Brilliant singer ,still miss Freddie ,can you please react ,to princes of the universe ,by queen written for the movie highlander ,great track thank you ,stay safe from Liverpool UK x
Pat Gallagher will do !!! Thank you so much for the recommendation and thanks for watching. Stay safe as well ❤️
Adam is amazing , is the best for queen !
Your focus loves yor guitars jiji
I know 😂😂 they are definitely better looking than me 😂😂
Can you please react to the Crash test dummies song called The ballad of Peter Pumpkinhead
Please
Yes, it was a benefit concert and Queen offered their "Live Aid" set for the first time since '85! Adam has an awesome voice! I can't get behind his 'fashionista' wanna be clothes (I know it's a show, but...) but you should listen to him sing "Who Wants to Live Forever" at the Isle of Wight concert. Brian said he never heard anyone sing it so well... Thanks! I'm not sure why 2 drummers but they have for some time. Roger's son Rufus toured with them many years, and now Tyler Warren, was also in the tribute band Queen Extravaganza, chosen by Roger. Maybe they want more/other sound, and/or Rog needs some backup.
It is great that they were doing doing this for charity, but I don't understand why they have to copy their Live Aid set, which is generally known as Freddie triumph. You would think they would be able generate their own set.
@BlackQueen29 Because they are basically just reliving past glory. Live Aid is mostly remembered because of Freddie's charisma. Instead of doing the same greatest hits, you would think a fan of Adam would at least want something new from him, instead of being in a cover band.
**Zenobia** ITA...good point there! I realize this Q+AL thingy is all ‘bout singing Queen greatest hits but to do their ‘85 Live Aid set was a HUGE let down for one reason & one reason only...Freddie AND Deacy weren’t there to perform it with them.
Part of Freddie’s charisma and showmanship was his piano & guitar playing! We DON’T see Lamburp play any instruments🤔. but what we do see is him putting on some Broadway, cabaret, or some cruise show. This set is yet another example of why he shouldn't be fronting a rock band. He's made for his solo career [which I quite enjoy btw] but can't take his lack of interpreting Queen songs and sing them with feelin'. The way he sings, he's just regurgitating the songs as if being in some high school glee club.
If there's to be another fund rising concert similar to this one they did, I pray they choose other song selections...perhaps the ones they were squabbling over before coming to the set they’d ended-up performing. Maylor would remember what those songs were. Perhaps give a Deacy song or two a chance to see some limelight instead of always playing “WWRY!” 😖
BlackQueen29 They are not filling stadiums, it is mostly arenas. They have not filled stadiums if it wasn’t attached to some type of festival. A lot of people are there to see Brian and Roger. Just watch this reaction, this reactioner would go to see Brian. They are not there for Adam Lambert. Queen gained a lot of new fans through the movie. If it was a different singer the fans would still be there. They have clearly lost some fans along the way, they are not playing to the same numbers as they used to. Adam’s last single barely sold 5k copies. He is losing fans. He is a good singer, but he has no business fronting a rock band.
@Motown 1966 Agreed! Freddie performed everything with passion and dedication. Adam is a singer that is more geared towards theatre and pop. He doesn’t have any grit. He acts out the songs, he tends to plan every move out in advance, whereas rock is spontaneous and sometimes a bit dirty.
I like Adam!
OMG where have you been!! Adam is awesome
Marc Martel sounds More like Freddie than Adam does. However Adam has a fantastic voice, and I believe Queen, Being the showmen they are chose Adam because of his Flamboyant stage presence as well as voice. Marc Martel was chosen to headline the Queen extravaganza tours , which were great too. But God I sure miss Freddie ! I love to watch you react , because you are in the industry, and do what so many people today have forgotten to do , or never learned how to do , and that is "Really Listen" to the music.
Just feel it’s not Queen if they’re not outrageous. Adam fits them better than Marc. Can’t imagine Marc lounging on top of the piano, riding a bike on stage, or wearing ridiculous clothes whilst singing those songs. Queen does those things which makes them so different. And from the videos I’ve seen of Adam’s earlier concerts before he joined Queen, he does those things on his own as well so he’s a great fit to the band. I mean his dancing about on stage is so naturally himself... I can see a bit of Freddie in him more than I see on Marc or Paul. Those singers have great voice and does the songs justice, but they just don’t fit Queen in terms of the spirit and persona of the band.
Would you do Shinedown’s cover of Lynyrd Skynyrd’s Simple Man. Thanks💥
I’ll get on it ASAP. Thanks for the recommendation ❤️❤️
React to Adam Lambert best live vocals
Plz do ur homework before reacting to Adam with Queen or Adam's solo work..he is not Freddie ,and he is not even trying to be, he is unique and precious... You know what? He is way better singer than Freddie trust me.... And 4 the charisma he was born to be a performer no question about it ... Don't judge him before going to his concert solo or with Queen .... Don't compare him to Freddie he brings his own spin to the songs and he sings them in the original key something Freddie had never done ....finally this dude has a voice in a billion
You know, it's just your opinion vs anyone else's opinion... I love Adams' voice, so glad he's fronting for Queen! But please, he's a block of wood compared to Freddie and his clothes suck...And this guy wasn't actually criticizing Adam's voice - he was saying the voice audio on the recording was low - was hard to hear over the music audio.
Your having a laugh ........ freddie couldnt sing in key....... jesus go watch his work with Monserratt and free love..... nothing against the boy Adam but its chalk and cheese......
By the way reaction chap 2 guys from queen is not 75% of queen ........
Yeah your right i can see it now ........ Brian to Freddie ...... listen mate your way off your notes man, if only you could sing in key we could have made it really big........😂😂😂😂😂😂
Arcadian Luna
Better than Freddie ... lol I like Adam, but Freddie is the best!
I can’t stand adam, and Freddie is the best!
I hear that they’ve changed the act’s name to ‘Adam and the Backstabbers’. Much more appropriate for this 3rd rate cover band. Queen died in 1991, just ask John Deacon. I can’t even watch this abomination.
I loved them when they were Queen, now the duo is just a greedy joke.
Stop being a music fan- you are rude. I hope you never make it in music.
This so called "abomination " as you put it UPLIFTED our country Australia 🇦🇺 at a desperate time. We lost so much in the devastating fires.
They raised over 2 million dollars for fire victims in this short set alone.
Brian and Roger have every right to play THEIR music, and if they choose Adam to front the band , they so can honey.
Like your negative option counts 🤣🤣
So by by
@@redpoppy7281 Yeah, I still can't understand these people who are hating on Adam when he's performing for charity. They are the lowest form of humans. They'd still be complaining if it was their house that burned down.
Meh
Lambert singing Queen makes my ears bleed and my soul vomit. Marc Martel is so far musically superior to him in every way, that it's truly laughable. He should have stuck to his own pop material, he's FAR better suited for that. Don't bother coming @ me Glamberts.
