Adam Lambert 24/7 News

It would be helpful if we could get all the reviews in one post.

Cabaret act?

It is time this was all said great article.Adam & Queen are a perfect match but I still am ready for Adam with his own music.I will be watching American Idol the next two nights so excited love Adam to me no one can compare to him.----blueeyes

Just read a review (good one) and can't remember which one. But the reviewer said a perfect thing about the Queen purist/Adam haters. He wrote, "Due respect has morphed into damaging reverence." I think that is a perfect way to describe what has happened with the naysayer mentality. All sense of reality has been lost in their minds. Maybe some of you will see that same review. It's a good one.

Adam deserves tons of credit for standing up to all the heat and meeting it with poise and grace.

I think those who love and prefer Freddie should be allowed to do that as well as those who love and prefer Adam should be allowed to do that.

Putting down the people who will never give up Freddie as the best is as disrespectful as it would be to do it to a glambert.

I'm sick and tired of seeing this argument and cheering for one side or the other.

Hi Dee R Gee :)..... I think the review you read is this one:

http://rushonrock.com/2015/01/14/review-queen-adam-lambert/

.... Read that one a bit ago, myself. Pretty darn good! Some of those things he wrote.... Quite forthrightly.... Are very important going forward in this tour, I think. It was refreshing to read the respect he demonstrated toward Adam, and the tremendous feat he's taken on... quite successfully. He also acknowledges Queen's right to continue on however they please.... After all, it is their music and their band. :) There's a couple things this writer may be not quite have a total understanding on (why Queen and Adam have seperated their names, for example. He thinks that has contributed to the naysaying)..... But even in that he is very pro Adam, very pro Queen and pro the Queen/Adam collab.
Well worth the read!

Dee R Gee and Yada -- the fellow who wrote The Journal critique happens to be the same one who wrote the Rush On Rock one -- Simon Rushworth. So, there you go! :)

Great

Thanks Dr May and Roger

And Love you Adam

and Hi - Rufus

8:27, Agreed, but the difference is that many of the Freddie fanatic/Adam hater types are really vicious and demeaning and rude. It's one thing to prefer Freddie; it's another thing to be really obnoxious about it. I think that reviewer's phrase "damaging reverence" is very accurate. And again, Adam deserves lots of credit for keeping his cool and doing his job so respectfully.

The Adam fanatics applauding chastising of anybody who disagrees with them is rude and obnoxious. We would hold Adam in the same reverence they hold Freddie if the situation were reversed. Adam fans get upset and declare Adam the best when some other artist simply does the same cover song Adam did; they claim Adam is better than the original artist on anything he covers. So hypocritical to not see it is the same behavior in both groups.

"Don´t stop me now
`cause I`m having a good time!
Don`t stop me now
if you wanna have a good time!"

Sounds good, looking good, bring it on,
tour burns in the hearts of Europeans.

I don't want all he reviews on one thread. What a gloop of comments that would be.

Love the new set list on this tour. Hi,M belated Happy NewYear I hope the weather isn't too bad in Finland. It's terrible where I live in Ohio.

Best one so far. He said what needed to be said by almost dismissing the overbearing nostalgic fluff. Adam should be in a position to be celebrated and fully "enjoy the ride".

@Ohio

Happy new year to you too!

Hi, weather is bad because it´s beautiful snowy landscape but right now it´s rainy! Children were already full of joy in slopes and ice-rinks with red cheeks, but rain may change everything.
Not good...

Lets following European tour, it will be nice to hear from you again!

I'm enjoying all the reviews since they're all glowing!

Thanks, broddybounce! :)

The only thing I'm not too keen on concerning mentions in both of Simon's reviews is his opinion that Adam wasn't too great in the first 4 songs... Due to being "hesitant" or even "due to nerves...". I haven't the faintest idea of what he is talking about. I thought Adam killed those songs - royally!! He sounded fantastic and performed them mind-blowingly well. Granted, KQ highlights so much of Adam's charm and charisma.... That perhaps it was at this point in the concert (KQ and on) that Simon was truly drawn in emotionally.

yada, I agree with you. I don't know what they reviewer meant about the first four songs. They sounded great to me. No hesitation at all. Adam came out with all guns blazing. Wonder what made the reviewer feel otherwise? Oh well. It was a great show, of course!

@yada @ Dee R Gee -- agreed on all points! I think what Mr. Rushworth may have been feeling is his own hesitancy and getting used to "the new boy," as Brian likes to say. Had the critic been at the very first show on the American tour last summer maybe that would have made sense. Anyone would have been finding their comfort zone on the first show of a massive tour as this. But Adam has had enough "practice" - no hesitancy there!

Seems to me that the naysayers are doing Roger and Brian a disservice - they seem to be writing them out of the equation and that to them Queen is/was only Freddie. Arguments seem a bit useless - they only serve to demean. And a lot of "critics" just like the sound of their own voice -
blah blah blah. Rock on Queen! Rock on Adam! You're awesome! And your music is forever!
