SHEFFIELD REVIEW: The Star

Glenn Ashley / The Star

We earlier posted a slideshow of Sheffield as published in UK's The Star.  It turns out that was just a teaser for their impending review of the concert which was posted on their site late last night, link below.  I do have to say, it feels like this writer culled lines from other reviews and made it her own several phrases seem remarkably familiar.  But, no matter, it's still a nice end-of-tour piece to enjoy (oh, and the 29-second slideshow has been extended to a full minute).

"He isn’t Freddie Mercury, but he doesn’t pretend to be - he’s a star in his own right, a camp-as-Christmas Killer Queen, bringing a fresh injection of youth, energy and amazing vocal talent to the proceedings - and the fans loved him."

"Queen and their new front man rocked the Arena - it really was magic."

Indeed...'twas magic!
Stars twinkled in a black sky.
Heavenly music stirred our soul.
Gold dust fell from above.
All in all, 'what's not to love?'

JAK, you said it perfectly. What a tour, what an experience. Adam has this crowning achievement in his heart forever. BTW, I love his extra-campy KQ in Sheffield. He was born to sing that song. A delicious, decadent delight.

Good lets talk about the amaizing talent of Adam Lambert. The best concert I have ever seen. However there are more Queen ones coming and even more exciting new fresh music from Adam and hopefully next year his very own tour to support his new album.
I just can't wait for his new single.
The fact he will be performing that huge Rio festival in September is so exciting so many people besides the ones that know Adam will get to see his massive talents and the album I believe will be out. So much many great things coming for him. Sue

OT - after Madonna's recent spill at the Brit Awards, here's a short article with an Adam mention re: his Ninja Roll at the AMA. He sure made tripping elegantly his signature move!

Adam performances on these concerts were very, very critically acclaimed. He did a fantastic job start to finish on these concerts. What a fantastic singer and performer this man is. You could not take your eyes off his mesmerizing performance at the best concert I have ever seen. Try to keep up 6.23 he wil be performing in front of a huge, huge audience with Queen at Rock In Rio festival in September. Most likely will do a South American tour as well. The South American tour not confirmed yet. But the Rock in Rio festival is confirmed. Believe it is televised to a very large audience over there as well. Queen and Adam Lambert Rock in Rio it will be Epic.
I doubt Adam liked performing in front of bugs that's your thing.

Queen said they never did well touring in NA and they did well with Adam on board.

Lordie, the tour has been over one day and already the trolls are harping on the same thing they were before the tour. It sometimes makes this site so boring.

He's no Freddie but....

Oh what pure nonsense he was phenomenal at these Queen concerts. They are rock concerts very mild for rock concerts.
Brian and Rodger have said over and over they will not work with anyone else but Adam. The only luck Adam had with Queen is he performed on idol with them so did Kris Allen who had just has much chance with them as Adam. Brian has said before they performed with Adam on idol with Adam thousands try every form of getting hold of them to say you have to see Adam L. He is incredible. They said when they performed with both Adam and Kris. The other guy was good KA but it was jus evident Adam was astounding. It gradually went on from there.
Adam is a wonderful performer he may Not be for everyone but he is for many. He has got many more fans through the Queen concerts. You are one of the same old trolls that have plagued this site for ever. Everything you say always has been proved over and over again to be untrue nonsense.
Adam has got many new fans with these concerts and all the TV performances they did the end of last year. So many wowed at the NYE TV concert. Adam has not scratched the surface of his enormous talent so much more to come.
If he not for you why bother the people of this site who love him. Just fine someone else we will not miss you at all 6.23 and 7.22.

@8.12 - the trolls are living for getting attention, why are you feeding them with your essay?

@8.12pm sounds like Sue but I could be wrong.

3.27 WRONG. Who are you to call out anyone you do not sign. Over 100 comments Sunday Over Adam personal life. Over half trolls I did not see anyone letting those comments go arguing over and over. I did not comment for a long time. Same old trolls commenting and those comments were not at all ignored. I saw you all arguing and arguing with them. Also seen books written on here. Paragraph after paragraph. To many bullies on here only pick on same few people. I will always support Adam always. But I was right not to comment for A long time and wrong to come back I will never comment again because I cannot stand bullies they are worse than trolls. It's one thing to answer a troll with facts. It's another thing to pick out a couple of people on here to Bully yes that's what it is. Most of you do not sign But have the nerve to call out people whether it's their post or not. Bullies are way worse than trolls and yes calling out certain people is being a bully and a hypocrite. All you people do is argue with trolls you hardly ever don't. I hope you not only ignore them but finally they get banned from the site that will never happen. Sue

@Sue
It's good to see you back here, please stick around and just ignore..............

GL I would only do that for you! Your such a sweet person. Sue

@Sue,

Hi, keep posting for me too; I love your post! Don't let anyone chase you away from here! That means they win. Don't sign if you don't want to; let them guess all they want.

A couple of posters on here are always trying to guess who said what; and they are always probably wrong. Don't take it personally, the negative posters don't know you and none of their business what you post. If someone says that it is you posting, don't even respond, unless you feel better doing it.

This person or persons are just sad and think they can bully you. Ignore, ignore, ignore!

Please don't stop posting; like I said; I just love your very thoughtful posts. You are so supportive of Adam; and he needs you now more than every; please don't let him down.

Belle

Hi Sue!! You tell them girl!! We're all here to support ADAM or don't bother to comment ... I've left 24/7 so many times b/cuz I can't stand reading some of the garbage that is left here by the cyber trolls but my love & admiration for ADAM & his fans always keeps me coming back. Takes me a long time to comment b/cuz can only type with one hand now ... but when I see something worth responding to I give it all I've got. So you keep coming here too ... ADAM needs fans like you ... Loyal & True Blue to the end!! Love 'n Light

@Tess4ADAM, sorry to hear you can only type your comments with one hand. We're always glad to hear from you. :)

@Sue, I love the way you support Adam. There are plenty of us who enjoy reading your posts, so I hope you don't let one person ruin things here for you. :))

OT, I went to my local Barnes & Noble and bought my Classic Rock magazine with QAL on the cover! I wonder if one of the blog administrators could start a new thread to remind peeps that it's now available? Thanks so much!

First!!! The QAL Tour is celebrated in my heart and I will go back to watch Adam's performances, the faves I have are many!

but....
I have been here on this site from the start, a long time lurker at first but now I need to say, how sad I became after reading this thread. I've supported Adam with love and still after many years I come here loyally to read the Adam news. I love Sauli very much too and I have NEVER bashed down other commenters on this site or called anyone out for posting as anon. I don't approve of any hunt after any poster here or nasty trolling. But I don't get the loving comments for sue, how loving and thoughtful she is JUST posting a really "black" comment here about the topic(Sauli's IGpics) the admins put here for us all to appreciate and comment on. It got over 100 comments, so it was appreciated!!! And not because of calling out sue or putting down Adam. I was one taking part on there. Sue's comment and opinion about that thread is totally embarrasing and uncalled for. She just called half of the posters TROLLS. Personally I agree on wishing the best for her, she deserves positivity herself for she has been ill and been through hard times with her health and I have read my prayers for her too,like many others here. She always posts lovely throwbacks on what Adam has done and is enthusiastic for the now and the future. But I don't agree on nastiness about other posters, who come here to appreciate Sauli+Adam combo topics and give the time of their day to say nice things about them both or individually. To me it is lovely to see Sauli remebered on topics and I find those topics also nice and loving. Still if one wants one can always pick on a post you don't like on every thread and make it a double or triple. So sorry sue felt the need to bash so many fans here, I hope she feels better in health now and maybe the sun is brighter tomorrow for everyone to enjoy it.
