"Critics silenced as Queen rocks Rod Laver in sold-out show"
From the Melbourne Herald Sun
EXCERPTS from the article:
"THANKS to social media, we have seen a lot of people really bothered by Queen continuing to exist, now with guest singer Adam Lambert."
"None of those people were in the sold out Rod Laver Arena last night."
"These ticket holders weren’t debating how this technically wasn’t Queen (Mercury died in 1991, bassist John Deacon retired in 1997), or whether founding members Brian May and Roger Taylor should still be trading as Queen."
"Instead the fans were exactly doing what May and Taylor were doing — wildly enjoying themselves."
"And Lambert plugs into Queen perfectly..."
"While he’s got unmistakable Mercury in his performer DNA, Lambert puts just enough of himself in these songs to stop it being the world’s most musically accurate Queen tribute act."
"Watching Queen songs move the masses in 2014 (with plenty of the audience in their 20s or younger) reinforces just how timeless their biggest hits remain. And for the haters vintage Queen is just a Google away."

So many words want to say to Adam, but the direct contact with him, Twitter, has a strict restriction of word count. Although I can type here as many sentences as I can, all these monologues would only be lots of meaningless murmurs if he wouldn't be able to see them. :(
I wonder if Adam will take a few days off in Hawaii after last show in New Zealand next week. A few days of R & R and it is on his way home. Why not? He needs to refuel to complete that album.
That is if he's headed back to LA after show. Hope for some vids from Melbourne.
