All I can say is WOW over and over again. It was worth the painful wait watching the rest of the show to see and hear Adam. What a Voice! What an Entertainer! I want more!!!
What a vocal powerhouse! He killed it - that's all I can say. It was a tremendous honor to be asked and he proved that he was absolutely the right choice!
I can't put my feeling into words. that was DEFF Adam's best performance EVER. Loved everything about it. AND to those people who are saying that freddie is moving in his grave now **** u seriesly.Also to that ***** Selena for not calling adams name before he performed >.> for adam: i will always love u no matter what u do :)
Now THAT'S a band and our boy was running with the big dogs....and looked right at home. Nice to hear his full out voice, giving it his all. Wishes granted. Joy reigns in our realm. :)))))
Adam, please join Queen and also be a solo artist. You CAN do both!!!!! Why the hell not? I have seen a ton of Adam Lambert performances but that one... well there are just not words that are big enough to describe it. I am just proud beyond any words. Rock and Roll will turn out to be your legacy Adam! Go with it! Well Done!!
why r people complaining everywhere on twitter that adam was a bad replacement for freddie mercury??? i thought he did him justice and nooooo adam did 10x times better than fm. HOW CAN U NOT FEEL HIS AMAZING VOICE??
NO WORD IN THE WORLD CAN DESCIBE THE THINGS THAT IM FELLING NOW *O* next stop AMAs :) u guys pray with me for this to happen. Adam deserves the best :DDDD
I'm in tears right now. Truly, nobody could've done any justice to than what Adam did with Queen tonight. Wished there was a mention of his name. Adam probably didn't want it that way and he wanted everyone to focus on greatness of Queen without him overshadowing Freddie's legacy. Love you Adam!
WOW!!!! This site never fails to be the first with everything Adam! Thank you so much! EPIC performance - so worth the wait. So good to see him on stage again !!! LOVED IT and LOVE HIM!
I agree with some of you that Adam should tour with Queen and be solo on his own. Come on Adam, you are young you can do both. You're a second coming of Freddie! Great music by Queen and best vocalist ever.
JAK, Queen is an amazing band and Brian May is a phenomenal guitar player. I take back what I said about him in a previous thread. I thought that Gaga was performing with Queen and I got a little angry. xD
I too am annoyed that Adam's name wasn't mentioned if not the beginning, then they could have mentioned him at the end. Maybe they did and we just didn't see it. I haven't seen the whole thing, so I don't even know. Well, word will travel fast. Those that are dissing Adam in this just haven't gotten over the AMA's and are probably listening to Susan Boyle as we speak...too bad, so sad, move over world, Adam has ARRIVED!
I wasn't dissing Susan Boyle, just thinking that her fans probably thought she would have done a better job! I just used her as an example. Could say the same of Beiber fans, Gaga fans etc...
Don't worry even though Adam's name was not mentioned and don't blame Selena, it wasn't her decision. Media is spreding the word about Adam performing with Queen, it's their job. There's a lot of buzz already.
Our man was soooooooo great! He has the voice and everything else, and he sounded great with Queen. So proud of him, and oh how I would love to just hug him. Why would anyone think he should not have been picked to sing with Queen, when Queen picked him? He did not try to be Freddy. He sang as Adam Lambert.
OMG!!! I till can't breath!!! That was really amazing!!I hope that NOW the WHOLE world realize that Adam is the best singer. I can't thing of anybody that could sing the way he just did.Today many people had realize who have REAL talent, voice and power to get the audience wherever he wants.Today is a very special day for him, but after that performance today will be a very speacial day to all of us.
"After about four bars the audience gasped with shock as they realized it was Adam Lambert singing the 'We are the Champions' and 'We Will Rock You' medley." :-)
Amaaaaaazing!!! Adam just blew everyone else away with his performance. And, no, he wasn't trying to replace Freddie Mercury. Adam is Adam with the best voice in the business today. And he proved it with Queen. He must have felt so honored to be asked to perform with them and he was right in his element. He owned that stage with Brian May. It was so great to see Adam on stage again and now I can't wait for the release of his new single(hopefully this month) and then the album in 2012. Way to go Adam.
Adam's name didn't have to be said. Tonight it was about Queen. Tomorrow it will be about how Queen and Adam Lambert blew the roof off of the place with pure rock and roll! No gimmicks. Just great music and great vocals. Pure rock. I am so in awe.
I was worried about that. Freddie was unique and irreplaceable and too many think Adam was trying to do just that. They don't or won't see that he was there to pay tribute to Freddie and the band...not take Freddie's place. I hope that many more will see that Adam is unique and sensational and become fans of his.
I wondered why they only played the first bar to "Under Pressure" (my fav song) and then cut to We Are The Champions....Now I read that Queen, AML and Gaga performed it but MTV cut it. If this is true, I have to say: "Seriously? WTF?" Why would they do that?
OMG, Freddie would have had to be bloody proud looking down on ADAM tonight!!!!!!! What an honor for ADAM AND for Queen! I can't help but think how Eber must be feeling tonight too! Our family love ADAM soooo much and our hearts are sooooo full..... they are about to burst right now! We love you ADAM!!!!
ADAM was part of QUEEN tonight and his name didn't need to be mentioned! If people don't know who ADAM is after this performance then they must be living under a rock! We're talking international superstar here people!
Anyone who thinks that Adam is trying to "take Freddy's place" is a fool. He's trying to do no such thing. Those who are determined to dislike Adam will continue to dislike him, even if Freddy himself came down from heaven and said he loved his performance. I think Adam picked up more fans tonight. How could anyone listen and not love and respect this incredible talent? Sorry to hear that a song may have been deleted. Maybe we'll hear it sometime soon. DRG
Adam owned that stage and outshone every single artist that performed on the EMA's. Heck, it even finished with Adam in all his glory as the credit's were rolling. You always 'keep the best until last' and how glorious was tonight! Breathtaking stuff of superstar status.
Hey have you read about the Lawsuit to Adam. They are like crows!! Read it: http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2011/11/06/adam-lambert-american-idol-lawsuit-ineiigible-_n_1078512.html
Amaaazing. Yes, Adam did a great tribute to Freddie and Queen. He needed that exposure right now. Hope he was paid big bucks. I saw it on you tube, and nothing was cut. Selena introduced Queen and Adam sang 3 songs. What a day for everyone involved with the whole show. Hope they enjoyed a great after party too.
Adam performance was stellar tonight! I hope people will understand that Adam was paying omage to Freddie and to Queen. He wasn't try to replace anyone. The thing that just saddens me is the hate amongst so many. Isn't just possible that fans could like more than one artist at a time. Imagine that! I and many Glamberts just wanted to have our moment with our amazing Adam Why can't the haters just stay away. Tonight was Adams night to shine and as his fans we wrapped their arms around him and held him tight. Why are you on this website to post hate? Go away and never come back. To everyone on twitter and this page who felt every note Thankyou! And Adam thank you for your amaazing voice and for loving us as much as we love you! BS
lyndseyparker Lyndsey Parker If you missed it, or just want to see the awesomeness again: @AdamLambert & @QueenWillRock at the EMAS - yhoo.it/t6ubtO #amazing
Watched this live stream. What a perfect birthday present for me! I thought just getting the day off work was good, but WOW! I wonder why they tagged his name in the upcoming performer credits but never introduced him; and Queen didn't acknowledge him either. What's up with that? Otherwise...PERFECT!
OMG Just perfect. Took my breath away have already downloaded it. Only tiny moan the didnt introduce him, but understandable it was about Queen and his name was in the credits I beleive. We are now in for a big Adam storm or tsunami, the rumours etc will all begin, but hey thats great, couldnt get better publicity for his new album. So proud of him we have been hanging in there right from the beginning and its all so worth it. Jadam.
Adam was fabulous! The Freddie Mercury fans who are criticizing him (and we knew there would be some) would most likely be unhappy with anyone. No one will ever "replace" him. He was unique. I was a fan as well. Adam is not an impersonator, he is himself, a gifted singer and talented performer and I think he will be highly praised for tonight's performance by the majority of those who heard him. So proud of him!
I'm out of town, at a hotel in NYC (hubby ran the NYC Marathon today) and I was going CRAZY (-ier than usual..) because the wi-fi in our room was terrible.. Finally realized the hotel lobby had a perfect connection so was able to see and hear the performance..So there I sat, ear buds in place, grinning from ear to ear, and rocking out to Adam and Queen. (I'm sure people wondered about me..) Adam was finally able to sing "We Are The Champions" as he was meant to sing it..full out and looking like the world-wide SUPER-STAR that he is well on his way to being. So happy..
I agree with all who say this was about Queen, which it was. It was not about Adam, but apparently no one had a problem recognizing him.
Excellent Adam!!!!
I just like to say about those who didn't approve of Adam, he was Queen's choice. If you can't respect that, then you're not a Queen fan to begin with.
By the way, I'm seeing many, many extremely positive comments on twitter from people who either didn't know who Adam was before tonight (they do now!!) or were not fans but thought he did an amazing job...It's all good for Adam..
I've watched the video ten times in a row now and I'm still as awed as I was after the first viewing.. Fantastic performance by Adam - and by Queen, of course!
I'm only slightly miffed by the cruel thing they did when they began to play my favourite Queen song, Under Pressure, only to then skip it and move straight to We Will Rock You..
Ok, off to bed now. Or maybe just one more listen.. :)
nilerodgers Nile Rodgers Get down Adam- That was smoking - If Brian May reached out that's really saying a lot! Not many can hang with Queen-Bravo!nilerodgers Nile RodgersTalk to you from the other side of the pond-I have a funny message from @Adamlambert on my answering machine- I respect him even more now
Guys I have read from the previous post that Adam asked not to mention his name because it's about Queens night....
How can't you not love this young man eh??? He is so unique caring and humble indeed...
While I was watching his performance, I was crying, jumping and screaming indeed!!! My daughter just asked me to calm down or I will get a heart attack!!!
I wish he is my son grrrrr!!!
His family is really proud of him and of course the millions of fans around the world.
I just love and adore this young man...
There is a saying that nobody's perfect??? Now I doubt it:)))
Adam, your wish came true my dear. I's all in your hands now and we love you!!!!
Adam stole the show with Queen as their frontman. He was, as we know he is, fabulous!!! I guessed from the first I heard of this that Adam was honoring Queen and didn't need his name called out. Like we didn't all know who owns that awesome voice.
Adam was perfect tonight with Queen. He sang as Adam not Freddie but made Freddie proud I am sure as he watched from above. No one can deny Adam's talent now and what a way for more true recognition before his album comes out. I am soooo proud and emotional right now Adam was the iconic superstar tonight that we all know and love!
I read that Queen is going on a brief tour. They will name there frontman wednsday. You think Adam maybe the man??? I would go see Queen in concert knowing he would be there. I still think his solo career should be first.
ADAM was paying homage to Freddie & QUEEN!! They are his IDOLS ... why would he want his name included in a tribute?? He WOULDN'T & he DIDN'T!! THAT is CLASS!! I don't care how many awards Beiber .. Mars .. & GaGa got tonight ... ADAM was the REAL WINNER!! What an Honor .. What a Privilege .. What a PERFORMANCE ... WHAT A **STAR**!!
I hope Adam is going on tour with the Queen. It wouldn't change anything, he'd still be a solo artist. He could take his wifey (Sauli) with him. Don't know if it's possible with his own band, because their fans don't like Sauli.
Well - now that I have watched the video over and over for the past 3 hours - there's no doubt in my mind that this performance not only honored Queen and the late Freddy Mercury, but brought the talent of Adam Lambert into many lives. I can't even think of a superlative good enough to describe it.
I hope this shows the ABC producers that Adam CAN and SHOULD be able to be invited to perform on any and all awards and other shows where his co-celebs are invited to perfor!. I am sick of him not being asked to sing. Maybe now?!
Adam really carried the band today. I can't imagine them choosing a different front man. This would be great exposure for him. I wonder if they're waiting to see what the public reaction is. It seems everyone is thrilled with it.
If Queen asks him to front them perhaps it would be a great thing. Maybe he could intermix the FYE music in and audiences who shied away will like his stuff as well. I want those other ya hoo's to disappear!!! Adam is our rock god Forever!!!!!!!
At first I was upset they didn't mention adam's name, but then I understood it. Adam is such a class act- it wasn't about him (well for me it was lol) it looks like adam is getting great feedback everywhere from what I've been reading. It's about time. Oh did I mention he was unbelievable tonight. Was waiting for bohemein rap.. but of course I just didn't want it to end!!!
Stop it, stop it, stop it....Adam's not there to "front" Queen or replace Freddy, I believe he was there in honour and pride to pay tribute to one of his favourite bands. He did an awesome job and I'm more than a little ticked that they cut "all" of "Under Pressure" on the live feed I watched. I don't know, they must have run out of time or something. I would have loved to see Adam and Gaga with Queen. Both love that band and I think it fitting that they both get to honour them this way. Hell, what am I saying. It's undoubtedly Adam and Gaga who feel honoured : ) Great show, very entertaining and love, love, loved seeing Adam perform tonight. So awesome!!
......completely, totally mesmerized, just as I have been for 970 days. He is first, and foremost, a stunning artist. It's what he cherishes and what we crave and all the rest just passes time until these unforgettable performances.
...... absolutely, totally mesmerized, just as I have been for 970 days. He is first and foremost, a stunning artist. That is what he cherishes and what we crave. The rest just passes time until performances like this.
Laugh and tears and goosebupms! Adam, it was your night, it was your show, and you killed them! Just think that nobody can replace Freddie. But nobody can replace Adam!! These two are geniouses. They are very different like we can see today. And nobody can compare them. I am sure that Bryan and Roger love Adam. And it was the reason they invited Adam to perform with them today. It was very special award for Queen and for Freddie. They knew that Freddie will enjoy this show today and bless Adam. HAL
Adam has affected me as he always has, from the very beginning until now. I hear him sing, I watch him perform, and I am transported back in time. He, as always, has that ability to breathe life back into old songs and make us feel alive again. And I agree, this performance tonight was not about Adam. It was paying tribute to Queen and I find myself reminiscing and searching out old Queen music videos and when it comes to Freddie, all I can say is...now I look and I find....I still love you .....
WHOA! WHOA! WHOA! Adam you are indeed the maestro that I have often called you. I watch it again and again and and still say Whoa, at the end of the performance. You brought your voice to an even higher level, the zenith! My goodness! The audience was a little stunned right from the start and at the end they realized they had been taken several notches higher; undoubtedly, the Best performance of the night, by streets and miles!! Congratulations Adam and thank you for such a fine moment!! Lam-my
Adam did an exceptional job paying homage to the late great Freddie Mercury. He and Queen were by far the bast of the night!!
P.S. Does anybody know what's going on with Adamofficial? All the comments read zero and the only current postings are Adam's tweets. Can't create a topic or post any comments.
I've watched the performance so many times I've stopped counting. I've got goosebumps all over while listening and watching Adam. He was phenomenal, perfect, spot on. I believe this was his best performance ever. He completely owned the stage yet remained humble all the while honoring Queen. He is truly a class act. I can only imagine how proud his family feels right now.
OMG @ANON at 10:23PM - you are indeed extremely lucky to have witnessed the most memorable performance of Queen with our Diamond Boy to date. Could you please share with us some more of your thoughts. If you have seen his videos, could you please compare it with the actual performance. More or less i have an an idea of the difference but i'd love to hear it from you if it isn't too much for me to ask :) I'm sorry but i'm just craving for whatever we can get from those who were there.
I manged to watch the last 15 mins of the show when I got up this morning. Adam with Queen, what a moment for him. He was just perfect, everything about the performance was perfect, and I have no words. I wonder if they really did cut under pressure, or had just played a few bars of it to tease everyone. In Canada apparently they cut the show must go on...
When Michael Hutchence died, there were people who dissed his replacement as the front man for INXS so I'm not surprised that this happened to Adam at the EMAs. However, Adam is not trying to be Freddie Mercury; Adam is an AWESOME singer in his OWN right and he did Queen proud - the absolute perfect fit for this momentous occasion.
Anon 10:02, be careful of your sources. Author of that article is not respected. That said, There are plenty of kudos from respected people in the industry. Amazing, amazing performance.
Wow.... So much said I couldn't read it all but WOW! What an honor, what a performance. I almost thought it was cool not to anounce Adam too.. and kind of classy. He stands on his own, no introduction. (Elvis was never introduced once he made it, just walked out on stage and that presence just WHAM! Adam is the same.) It was about Queeen and Adam gave a wonderful performance and tribute. Close your eyes and listen. DAMN!!! Everyone will want to know who that lead singer was, and the drummer sure gave him a stellar review in the comments after the show... "brilliant, once in a hundred million voice"... Holy ----!
WOW Look out world!!! Wooohooo, can't WAIT for the new album. His new managers or whatever better promote him the WAY he deserves... top notch on EVERY show...
SOOOO good to see him back owning the stage and hear him sing like that again. Cindy
Two major ironies: First, the usual haters on other sites who claim to be Queen lovers but diss Adam with homophobic comments. Don't they know that Freddie Mercury was gay? Second, kinda funny one: Adam was vilified and suffered for kissing Tommy on the AMAs. Lost appearances, etc. But the EMAs had a full-frontal naked guy come out and have a conversation with the host while casually clutching his crotch. Crowd loved it. He walked off the stage, penis swinging in the breeze. I don't know whether to laugh or cry. DRG
Does anyone else wonder if this performance means that Adam will join Queen on their next tour (supposed soon) and that is why he has postponed release of new album?
WOW ! AML with Queen, an epic moment! But I feel there is something greater in the works for Adam ! Maybe, for me , to turn some haters to lovers & for lovers to know what MAGIC really is! ADAM is MAGIC!! Mwah!! K

Thank you Adam for having the extreme talent and rockstar presence to give such a genuine tribute to Freddie and Queen.
Thank you Brian and Roger for recognizing the brilliance and allowing Adam to rock out with you on this special night for Queen.
Queen and Adam Lambert. Absolutely hard core rock and roll done magnificently. Bravo!
Amaaaaaazing!!! Adam just blew everyone else away with his performance. And, no, he wasn't trying to replace Freddie Mercury. Adam is Adam with the best voice in the business today.

What a performance! I bet even the troll is now off to poop!

I was worried about that. Freddie was unique and irreplaceable and too many think Adam was trying to do just that. They don't or won't see that he was there to pay tribute to Freddie and the band...not take Freddie's place. I hope that many more will see that Adam is unique and sensational and
become fans of his.
JAK
Just so proud of Adam. And damn he looked sexy.
Well if that wasn't promo for his new CD, then just shoot me now...
I wondered why they only played the first bar to "Under Pressure" (my fav song) and then cut to We Are The Champions....Now I read that Queen, AML and Gaga performed it but MTV cut it. If this is true, I have to say: "Seriously? WTF?" Why would they do that?
Adam Lambert is trending WORLDWIDE (ALL OVER THE PLACE IN LARGE LETTERS!!!) So happy for him! This was an A M A Z I N G performance.
At least they cut out Gaga rather than any of Adam's solo parts. But yes, It would have been good to see.
What a triumph for Adam! I wonder if he ever pictured this day back before Idol.
OMG, Freddie would have had to be bloody proud looking down on ADAM tonight!!!!!!!
What an honor for ADAM AND for Queen! I can't help but think how Eber must be feeling tonight too!
Our family love ADAM soooo much and our hearts are sooooo full..... they are about to burst right now! We love you ADAM!!!!
ADAM was part of QUEEN tonight
and his name didn't need to be mentioned! If people don't know who ADAM is after this performance then they must be living under a rock! We're talking international superstar here people!
Loved the performance, it was BRILLIANT!!
I'll be right back - I just have to go scrape my jaw up off the floor..
Anyone who thinks that Adam is trying to "take Freddy's place" is a fool. He's trying to do no such thing.

FACT: There is no award that MTV can invent for Adam. ;D
Hopefully now adam will get some love from the UK.
NEWS NEWS: Adam is working with Pharell Williams on his new album.
Confirmation from Adam Official: Adam is to Appear on Majors & Minors Nov. 13th. for u glamberts to know :D
All about the vocals and instruments baby, all about the vocals and instruments

Maybe Adam will do some interviews while in the UK.
Watched this live stream. What a perfect birthday present for me! I thought just getting the day off work was good, but WOW! I wonder why they tagged his name in the upcoming performer credits but never introduced him; and Queen didn't acknowledge him either. What's up with that? Otherwise...PERFECT!
ADAM, YOU TOOK MY BREATH AWAY! FLAWLESS PERFORMANCE. LOVED IT. I HAVE WATCHED IT OVER AND OVER AGAIN.
adam was so classy to let the Queen had the honour and not even announcing his name. i salute you sir, you are all class
Adam + Queen = Phenomenal!!
Adamofficial is officially without comments. A meltdown,perhaps?
@ xD
You are forgiven :)))) Some bands have an aura of magic and are worthy of our magic boy. The guys have still "got it"!

It was the QUEEN moment, Adam is always a giver and humble, he did not want to steal the show from the band. Good move Adam, i even like you more now.
Adam is spectacular.....noone today compares to him.The power, the voice,the looks...He is it!!!!
OMG Just perfect. Took my breath away have already downloaded it.
Only tiny moan the didnt introduce him, but understandable it was about Queen and his name was in the credits I beleive.
We are now in for a big Adam storm or tsunami, the rumours etc will all begin, but hey thats great, couldnt get better publicity for his new album.
So proud of him we have been hanging in there right from the beginning and its all so worth it.
Jadam.
Adam was fabulous! The Freddie Mercury fans who are criticizing him (and we knew there would be some) would most likely be unhappy with anyone. No one will ever "replace" him. He was unique. I was a fan as well. Adam is not an impersonator, he is himself, a gifted singer and talented performer and I think he will be highly praised for tonight's performance by the majority of those who heard him. So proud of him!
I'm out of town, at a hotel in NYC (hubby ran the NYC Marathon today) and I was going CRAZY (-ier than usual..) because the wi-fi in our room was terrible.. Finally realized the hotel lobby had a perfect connection so was able to see and hear the performance..So there I sat, ear buds in place, grinning from ear to ear, and rocking out to Adam and Queen. (I'm sure people wondered about me..) Adam was finally able to sing "We Are The Champions" as he was meant to sing it..full out and looking like the world-wide SUPER-STAR that he is well on his way to being. So happy..
I agree with with 4.14pm
Adam was presented as the Front man of Queen, it wasn't Adam Lambert with Queen. It was "QUEEN"!!!!
Epic Moment in Time.

I agree with all who say this was about Queen, which it was. It was not about Adam, but apparently no one had a problem recognizing him.
Excellent Adam!!!!
I just like to say about those who didn't approve of Adam, he was Queen's choice. If you can't respect that, then you're not a Queen fan to begin with.
By the way, I'm seeing many, many extremely positive comments on twitter from people who either didn't know who Adam was before tonight (they do now!!) or were not fans but thought he did an amazing job...It's all good for Adam..
I've watched the video ten times in a row now and I'm still as awed as I was after the first viewing.. Fantastic performance by Adam - and by Queen, of course!
I'm only slightly miffed by the cruel thing they did when they began to play my favourite Queen song, Under Pressure, only to then skip it and move straight to We Will Rock You..
Ok, off to bed now. Or maybe just one more listen.. :)

Get down Adam- That was smoking - If Brian May reached out that's really saying a lot! Not many can hang with Queen-Bravo!nilerodgers Nile RodgersTalk to you from the other side of the pond-I have a funny message from @Adamlambert on my answering machine- I respect him even more now
Guys I have read from the previous post that Adam asked not to mention his name because it's about Queens night....
How can't you not love this young man eh??? He is so unique caring and humble indeed...
While I was watching his performance, I was crying, jumping and screaming indeed!!! My daughter just asked me to calm down or I will get a heart attack!!!
I wish he is my son grrrrr!!!
His family is really proud of him and of course the millions of fans around the world.
I just love and adore this young man...
There is a saying that nobody's perfect??? Now I doubt it:)))
Adam, your wish came true my dear. I's all in your hands now and we love you!!!!
It's all in your hands now my dear...

hairs standing up. he could be the new QUEEN frontman. Astounding!
Adam was gorgeous and sang so perfectly! I am a proud over 50's fan!
I forgot to mention about the naked guy who ran on the stage:)))) Impressive indeed....

Out of this world ..OMG ..WOOW, Adam that was fabulous..perfect..amazing , I keep watching it over and over again. GOD BLESS YOU ADAM.

Adam stole the show with Queen as their frontman. He was, as we know he is, fabulous!!! I guessed from the first I heard of this that Adam was honoring Queen and didn't need his name called out. Like we didn't all know who owns that awesome voice.
My husband watched it with me and said he likes to see Adam sing and thought it was great..I loved it!
Tonight a HUGE STAR dazzled and shined over Northern Ireland.
ADAM you was Amaaaaaaaazing. God Bless YOU.

Adam was perfect tonight with Queen. He sang as Adam not Freddie but made Freddie proud I am sure as he watched from above. No one can deny Adam's talent now and what a way for more true recognition before his album comes out. I am soooo proud and emotional right now Adam was the iconic superstar tonight that we all know and love!
I read that Queen is going on a brief tour. They will name there frontman wednsday. You think Adam maybe the man??? I would go see Queen in concert knowing he would be there. I still think his solo career should be first.
ADAM was paying homage to Freddie & QUEEN!! They are his IDOLS ... why would he want his name included in a tribute?? He WOULDN'T & he DIDN'T!! THAT is CLASS!! I don't care how many awards Beiber .. Mars .. & GaGa got tonight ... ADAM was the REAL WINNER!! What an Honor .. What a Privilege .. What a PERFORMANCE ... WHAT A **STAR**!!

I hope Adam is going on tour with the Queen. It wouldn't change anything, he'd still be a solo artist. He could take his wifey (Sauli) with him. Don't know if it's possible with his own band, because their fans don't like Sauli.
On with the show was it ever released?
Well - now that I have watched the video over and over for the past 3 hours - there's no doubt in my mind that this performance not only honored Queen and the late Freddy Mercury, but brought the talent of Adam Lambert into many lives. I can't even think of a superlative good enough to describe it.
I hope this shows the ABC producers that Adam CAN and SHOULD be able to be invited to perform on any and all awards and other shows where his co-celebs are invited to perfor!. I am sick of him not being asked to sing. Maybe now?!
Adam Levine NOW knows who Adam Lambert is;))))
Adam really carried the band today. I can't imagine them choosing a different front man. This would be great exposure for him. I wonder if they're waiting to see what the public reaction is. It seems everyone is thrilled with it.

If Queen asks him to front them perhaps it would be a great thing. Maybe he could intermix the FYE music in and audiences who shied away will like his stuff as well. I want those other ya hoo's to disappear!!! Adam is our rock god Forever!!!!!!!
That performance is what will set him off on his new music. I predict we will have a new single very soon to keep the ball rolling.
I love this man and am so happy that he had this platform to show the world just what a talent he is!
I have missed seeing him perform...
At first I was upset they didn't mention adam's name, but then I understood it. Adam is such a class act- it wasn't about him (well for me it was lol) it looks like adam is getting great feedback everywhere from what I've been reading. It's about time. Oh did I mention he was unbelievable tonight. Was waiting for bohemein rap.. but of course I just didn't want it to end!!!
Stop it, stop it, stop it....Adam's not there to "front" Queen or replace Freddy, I believe he was there in honour and pride to pay tribute to one of his favourite bands. He did an awesome job and I'm more than a little ticked that they cut "all" of "Under Pressure" on the live feed I watched. I don't know, they must have run out of time or something. I would have loved to see Adam and Gaga with Queen. Both love that band and I think it fitting that they both get to honour them this way. Hell, what am I saying. It's undoubtedly Adam and Gaga who feel honoured : )
Great show, very entertaining and love, love, loved seeing Adam perform tonight. So awesome!!
......completely, totally mesmerized, just as I have been for 970 days. He is first, and foremost, a stunning artist. It's what he cherishes and what we crave and all the rest just passes time until these unforgettable performances.

Laugh and tears and goosebupms!
Adam, it was your night, it was your show, and you killed them!
Just think that nobody can replace Freddie. But nobody can replace Adam!!
These two are geniouses. They are very different like we can see today. And nobody can compare them.
I am sure that Bryan and Roger love Adam. And it was the reason they invited Adam to perform with them today. It was very special award for Queen and for Freddie. They knew that Freddie will enjoy this show today and bless Adam.
HAL
HOLY SHIT!!!!!!! Only Adam Lambert could of pulled that off......remarkable!!!!
Absolutely breat taking!!!! Powerful vocals. Freddie would approve. Well done, Adam
Adam has affected me as he always has, from the very beginning until now. I hear him sing, I watch him perform, and I am transported back in time. He, as always, has that ability to breathe life back into old songs and make us feel alive again.
And I agree, this performance tonight was not about Adam. It was paying tribute to Queen and I find myself reminiscing and searching out old Queen music videos and when it comes to Freddie, all I can say is...now I look and I find....I still love you .....
Better clarity of vocals here:

WHOA! WHOA! WHOA! Adam you are indeed the maestro that I have often called you. I watch it again and again and and still say Whoa, at the end of the performance. You brought your voice to an even higher level, the zenith! My goodness! The audience was a little stunned right from the start and at the end they realized they had been taken several notches higher; undoubtedly, the Best performance of the night, by streets and miles!! Congratulations Adam and thank you for such a fine moment!!
Lam-my
Adam did an exceptional job paying homage to the late great Freddie Mercury. He and Queen were by far the bast of the night!!
P.S. Does anybody know what's going on with Adamofficial? All the comments read zero and the only current postings are Adam's tweets. Can't create a topic or post any comments.
They ask the same question we all do. Read both pages to this article.

I've watched the performance so many times I've stopped counting. I've got goosebumps all over while listening and watching Adam. He was phenomenal, perfect, spot on. I believe this was his best performance ever. He completely owned the stage yet remained humble all the while honoring Queen. He is truly a class act. I can only imagine how proud his family feels right now.

I have no words, because Adam and Queen were SOOOOOO PERFECTTTTT,
love that VOICEEEEEEE of Adam
our planet is not in the same orbit anymore, much better today
thanksssss
Love from Finland (I saw it Live)
Anon 10.02. Thanks for that link, its true, what is going on.
Maybe now things will change, I hope so.
Jadam.
OMG @ANON at 10:23PM - you are indeed extremely lucky to have witnessed the most memorable performance of Queen with our Diamond Boy to date. Could you please share with us some more of your thoughts. If you have seen his videos, could you please compare it with the actual performance. More or less i have an an idea of the difference but i'd love to hear it from you if it isn't too much for me to ask :) I'm sorry but i'm just craving for whatever we can get from those who were there.
I manged to watch the last 15 mins of the show when I got up this morning. Adam with Queen, what a moment for him. He was just perfect, everything about the performance was perfect, and I have no words.
I wonder if they really did cut under pressure, or had just played a few bars of it to tease everyone. In Canada apparently they cut the show must go on...
FABULOUS, Adam! You NAILED IT!!
When Michael Hutchence died, there were people who dissed his replacement as the front man for INXS so I'm not surprised that this happened to Adam at the EMAs. However, Adam is not trying to be Freddie Mercury; Adam is an AWESOME singer in his OWN right and he did Queen proud - the absolute perfect fit for this momentous occasion.
Anon 10:02, be careful of your sources. Author of that article is not respected.
That said, There are plenty of kudos from respected people in the industry.
Amazing, amazing performance.
Wow.... So much said I couldn't read it all but WOW! What an honor, what a performance. I almost thought it was cool not to anounce Adam too.. and kind of classy. He stands on his own, no introduction. (Elvis was never introduced once he made it, just walked out on stage and that presence just WHAM! Adam is the same.) It was about Queeen and Adam gave a wonderful performance and tribute. Close your eyes and listen. DAMN!!! Everyone will want to know who that lead singer was, and the drummer sure gave him a stellar review in the comments after the show... "brilliant, once in a hundred million voice"... Holy ----!
WOW Look out world!!! Wooohooo, can't WAIT for the new album. His new managers or whatever better promote him the WAY he deserves... top notch on EVERY show...
SOOOO good to see him back owning the stage and hear him sing like that again.

Two major ironies: First, the usual haters on other sites who claim to be Queen lovers but diss Adam with homophobic comments. Don't they know that Freddie Mercury was gay? Second, kinda funny one: Adam was vilified and suffered for kissing Tommy on the AMAs. Lost appearances, etc. But the EMAs had a full-frontal naked guy come out and have a conversation with the host while casually clutching his crotch. Crowd loved it. He walked off the stage, penis swinging in the breeze. I don't know whether to laugh or cry.

Interview with Queen and Adam.

can't find the youtube video I was watching last night..it's like they are trying to sabbotage (spelling?)
the performance
Does anyone else wonder if this performance means that Adam will join Queen on their next tour (supposed soon) and that is why he has postponed release of new album?
Adam my boy, you amaze me every time you open your mouth to sing. I can't not listen. Love you!!

Any performing Adam does with Queen should be just "special" event kinds of things, not anything permanent. Adam needs to be a solo artist. JMO
DRG
DGR, Queen is not active in a permanent sort of way anymore. You would not like it if Adam did a few gigs with them? Would be great training for Adam.
Yes Yes...Indeed SHOW MUST GO ON
We just witness the birth of our new ROCK GOD of the 20th Century.
Most beautiful, exhalerating vocals, band of the Universe.
Thank You for sharing this experience with the World Adam and Queen
WOW !
AML with Queen, an epic moment! But I feel there is something greater in the works for Adam ! Maybe, for me , to turn some haters to lovers & for lovers to know what MAGIC really is! ADAM is MAGIC!! Mwah!! K
