From The Telegraph (UK): QUEEN + ADAM LAMBERT Concert Review
Queen + Adam Lambert, O2 Arena, review: 'spectacular'
No-one can better fill Freddie Mercury's shoes better than Lambert says Catherine Gee
EXCERPTS FROM THE REVIEW: Read the entire review at the link below..
"July this year will mark 30 years since Live Aid’s enormous simultaneous concerts at Wembley Stadium and JFK Stadium in Philadelphia. That day, Freddie Mercury, dressed all in white, helped Queen deliver a performance so electrifying that their 20-minute set has since been declared the world’s greatest ever live show."
"At the time, Adam Lambert was just three years old. But it’s his youth and rapturous energy that has given Queen the glittering boost that they’ve been so desperately lacking since Mercury’s death. Without attempting to impersonate Mercury - if anything, he looks more like George Michael - Lambert has brought dazzling showmanship and style back to the band."
"It was Lambert’s own virtual duet with Mercury on Bohemian Rhapsody that truly showed how well his vocals compete with the great man himself."
The 32-year-old’s talent is truly staggering, with a range, clarity and tone that make him one of the world’s great vocalists."
"For a brilliantly camped-up version of Killer Queen, a pouting Lambert draped himself on a purple chaise longue. Spitting a long jet of champagne out onto the crowd, he seductively asked an audience member, “Did I get you wet, lady?”"
"As a performance, it was empowering. During those less enlightened times, Mercury himself could never risk being so verbally sexual in public. He could never risk being completely honest about his sexuality either - as the openly gay Lambert can now."
"No one will ever be able to replace Freddie Mercury, this much we know. But there’s currently no one else who could better fill his shoes and put on such a spectacular show than Adam Lambert. And it only took May and Taylor two decades to find him."

Excellent and thanks!!
M
I hope his new label reps. are reading all these reviews and hooking Adam up to a roster of "the best" co-writers available.
Please see what he's capable of with promotion and great material.
The voice is there, ready to go and the personality and handsome face is a bonus.
He was born to entertain.
JAK, You said it all perfectly. Adam is beyond talented and needs the promotion skills of his new label to get him where he deserves to be as a solo artist. Voices like his come around once in a generation.
