From Nashville Scene: "A Die-Hard Queen Fan Considers Queen + Adam Lambert"

"Ahead of the group’s stop at Bridgestone [Arena] (QAL concert in Nashville, Tennessee on Wed., August 2, 2017), a look at what it means to carry on the legacy of a rock icon"

Author's comment about Adam Lambert's voice: "I found myself drawn to his voice in the way you’re drawn to a piece of modern art that you don’t quite understand, which might have been part of how Mercury appealed to his first audiences back in the early ’70s"

EXCERPTS from the article: Please read the entire thoughtful & respectful article linked above
Lambert, who has a second-place finish on the eighth season of American Idol, a Grammy nomination and two chart-topping albums under his belt, has made it clear that he isn’t trying to emulate Mercury. While he shares Mercury’s undeniable vocal prowess and his love for adventurous clothing, nail polish and eyeliner, he commands the stage in his own way. I found myself drawn to his voice in the way you’re drawn to a piece of modern art that you don’t quite understand, which might have been part of how Mercury appealed to his first audiences back in the early ’70s.
And as for Freddie, I’d like to think that if he’s watching, he’d raise a glass of Champagne to Lambert in approval. Because, as he once told the world himself, the show must go on.

Nice to hear a die-hared Queen fan actually get it. Their numbers are growing, I think. Each show convinces a few more that Adam is ok to like. He's not a threat to Freddy's legacy. He's Adam, doing a magnificent job.
