EXCERPTS from this review, [which is AWESOME!]
"While there is no chance that Adam Lambert could ever really replace Freddie Mercury as the bands iconic front-man in the eyes of fans and music aficionado’s, the singer led the band spectacularly last night in Sydney with hits that may not have been penned by him but that he made his own nonetheless. Dressed in black leather with golden studs and clutching a golden microphone, the singer’s fabulously camp strut up and down the decked out stage fit with laser beams and lights displayed a glam rocker in his element, jamming with one of the staples of the genre as if it were always his destiny to be doing so. His vocals rose above the 20,000 strong punters that flocked to the venue to catch the bands return to Australian shores since the The Works World Tour of April 1985."
------------------------------------------
"Everything that you could want in a show from this band was found at some point or another and Lambert’s seemingly effortless ability and confidence in delivering some of the most significant songs in history was evident throughout tracks like Another One Bites The Bust, I Want It All, Fat Bottomed Girl, We Will Rock You and We Are The Champions."
------------------------------------------
"Among the highlights of the night was Lambert’s extravagant performance of Killer Queen. Donning a camp, golden spiked and tasselled top and killer heels, the singer pranced around the stage every bit the glamourous entertainer that he has become known as over these past few years. Setting to the end of the runway to be met by a lavish purple velvet couch, the singer delivered a powerful performance of the track clutching a bottle of champagne and making quirky faces to the crowd and the band before he took back to the main stage and delivered an exceptional rendition of the bands roof-raising power ballad, Somebody To Love, hitting all the high notes and doing so with ease."
---------------------------------------------
"Last night’s performance was everything we could have expected from a Queen show and more. We were offered all of the bands major hits and a truly memorable performance from icons of the industry and one of the greatest vocalists around today. It was visually stunning, it was nostalgic and it was musically epic to its core."

Reviews like this make me cry
As Glamberts we know all the things mentioned and it feels good that others "get it"
It looks like the Gaga rumors may be true. They posted a picture of her dressing room with the Queen and Adam signs.

Bet Adam was on cloud nine. A duet with Gaga. Wow.
Longer video here. http://www.goldcoastbulletin.com.au/video/id-dpYzZ3bzp3uVLJAyjBlB5s8umkyLeM47/Lady-Gaga-joins-Queen-and-Adam-Lambert-on-stage-surprise#ooid=dpYzZ3bzp3uVLJAyjBlB5s8umkyLeM47

OMG OMG! Adam must have been in seventh heaven to perform with Gaga! It's been a long time coming for those two to sing together. Hope it's the first of more to come. Can't wait for the whole vid of AOBTD. Also, love that Gaga's fans are seeing her perform with ADAM! What a bonus! I am thrilled!
See what happens when u go to bed early, not only are u destined to have a worm for breakfast u miss all the good rumors !!! Glad this one turned out to be true. This was another great review, Adam nation gains another subject .
I can't play the Gold Coast Bulletin one. Is the US scorned?
Hope we get a full good audio vid soon because what I've seen so far doesn't bode well. Sounds like Gaga is singing over Adam with the wrong lyrics. Hope I'm wrong.
They certainly didn't have time to rehearse this. He has the stronger voice and kept the flow going miraculously despite her bumps throughout. He's a real pro about things like this. Yes, she has a really good voice, but I think they could have picked a better song that would have complemented both their voices. He made this one work, because he's great at spur of the moment remedies. It sure is giving him the buzz and that's a good thing.
