Digital Journal's Markos Papadatos showed other New York music critics how to write a balanced review without inserting personal bias when he reviewed the MSG show back on July 18th.  Mr. Papadatos has proven his mettle again with a wonderful recap of his original review that he provides as part of a very logical questioning of the motives of, we assume, the New York Times and New York Post critics in a piece he posted today in Digital Journal.  He also uses portions of Adam's recent interview with The Advocate where Adam discusses how he approaches his role as the frontman for Q+AL as further evidence against the rogue reviewers.  Here's a highlight from Mr. Papadatos's story:

"....Lambert did phenomenal .... It was quite puzzling that other media outlets did not recognize that on that same night."

This is a spectacular wide-angle picture, whoa the crowd is massive; also gives an excellent aerial view of the Q screen, walkway and the brilliant lights...Adam, just a speck on the walkway, but his voice fills the entire arena.

Great comment Lam-My! I was hoping someone would take note of that because when I first saw that shot I was like WHOA!! The photog, who I credited beneath the photo (from her Instagram) must have been hanging from the highest and furthest rafter!

Hi broddybounce...I looked at the photo for quite a while with no intention of commenting and then came back to look at it again and this time I just had to say something. Yes I noted the name of this eye-of-the-mind photographer. I think this picture says a lot about the QueenBert show, the sheer intensity of the people in the arena, as each dot in the audience is someone's head.
Thanks for bringing it!

Imagine our young Adam performing to such massive crowds! He is such a pro! He's not intimidated and that says much about his talent and character. I so love Adam and Queen and the review was great!

I was there at MSG and it was massive! The next morning I was still on such a "high" and couldn't believe the New York Times review. I was seriously wondering if that guy was even there or if he simply didn't want to see or hear what was happening. I figured that some critics are simply trying too hard to differentiate themselves in their "craft".
