Adam Lambert is getting comfortable with Queen: ‘The doubt and fear have faded’

Adam Lambert didn’t arrive to Queen fully formed. In fact, their first collaboration took place when he was still trying to claim victory
in American Idol, the match-light moment for Lambert’s career. Fast
forward six years, and he could be found fronting that same band through
a well-received arena tour as they criss-crossed the globe.
Things have changed, of course. As he’s continued belting out songs inextricably linked to the late Freddie Mercury, Adam Lambert has slowly but surely been making some part of them his own. It’s an evolution that’s been praised by stalwart Queen guitarist Brian May, and celebrated by Lambert himself.
As he’s grown more comfortable within the crucible of Queen, Adam Lambert has also grown more comfortable with himself.
“I think I have crawled into the songs more,” Lambert tells Hunger TV. “I am now able to toy with the melodies more than when I started. I also find myself more connected to the lyrics, and have learned more about what inspired the band to write them. Now after four years of working together, I feel a stronger responsibility to the band, I’m closer to Brian and [Queen drummer] Roger [Taylor] and more comfortable with the intense expectations of the fans. The doubt and fear have faded and been overtaken with a deep joy.”

You could see, hear and feel it, Adam getting more and more comfortable and looser on the stage and also making small changes how he sang many of the songs each night.
Almost 70 gigs they did with that more than well-oiled machinery called The Queen! All around Perfection. The lighting, lasers and other technological mysteries made it more than perfect.
My only wish is that Adam would not add too many "ooooh yeahs" or other improvs in these iconic songs and that the tighter rock songs are kept tight (such as e.g. SCC and TYMD) also in the future (YES, please, let there be more gigs in future, too!)
I love campy and all sorts of playfullness from Adam, and I love his whaling, don't get me wrong. Just keep it Rock, Classic but Rock! A Rock concert, anthems and ballads included.
