Express.co.uk is the combined online presence for two of London's newspapers, The Daily Express and The Sunday Express. Reporter Sadie Nicholas writes a beautiful feature story on the successful partnership between Adam and Queen.
"...the 32-year-old singer...is taking fans and music critics by storm ... they have silenced even the purists who declared that without Freddie Mercury there could be no Queen."
"Witty and camp with a voice described by many as being technically brilliant Lambert has been credited with 'stealing the show'."
"For anyone still sceptical about Lambert’s place on stage with Queen, despite the sensational reviews, Roger Taylor has the final word: 'I think Freddie would be his No1 fan.'"

Well, I already said Freddie would halt his chariot in the sky and park it front row to hear Adam sing his songs. Freddie must have said: Wow! What is that? Sounds so heavenly and familiar; that voice can certainly launch a comet! lol!
The O2 Somebody To Love performance stands by itself and it might have just knocked his own record of WWTLF to second placing on my chart. lwl! I particularly also enjoyed Roger and Rufus' 'war' drums with the chorus and then Adam makes a comeback into the song to slay the mighty dragon with Toooo...Looove...Whoa! That was exactly what I said.
I am walking around with a smile on my face; so much good news coming in for Adam after 6 long years. He deserves this so much.
Can't stop listening to "Save Me" among others. But that song sounds like it is being sung by an angel.
Adam is just other worldly in his presentation of so many of these songs. I am just a proud fan; and have been since the first moment he appeared on Idol; and I always will be the ever supporting fan of Mr. Adam M. Lambert!!!
I also have a smile on my face every time I read another glowing review of Adam's performances with Queen. He has captivated both the music critics and the members of the audience with his powerhouse vocal talent and his mesmerizing stage presence. I've been a fan since Adam's first appearance on Idol and have followed his career for the past six years. He so deserves the accolades coming his way and hopefully this will open the door for a successful third album and the release of the first single in the near future. Adam brought his own boots to the show and he doesn't have to fill anyone else's.
That NYE show reached so many new people who saw Adam for the first time. It was probably the most significant show they did, exposure-wise. Along with the success of the tour so far, the tide is really turning in the U.K. for Adam. Hope A3 does really well there!
In a previous comment, I said at least the reviewer didn't mention shoes. Now they use 'boots' lol! It's one and the same thing! By the way it's also quite difficult to wear Adam's boots (literal)...the way he walks and wobbles in them, with that kind of smoothness and style, his physique, height. In the metaphorical sense...close to impossible, sums it up effectively, because it's not just about voice or singing...more like synergy which is very elusive as all parts must go simultaneously or sequentially...that simply put is 99% purity. lol! Now how does one attain that...

Lam-My.... This statement you posted made me smile - so cute! Very clever..... ;-))))
7:30 & 7:44..... That makes the three of us! Smiling from ear to ear these days.... For the same well-put reasons. Sometimes with a few tears in my eyes, too... :)
.... And 7:30.... I cannot get "Save Me" out of brain! Permanently taken up a home in a significant lobe of my noggin, I think. lol
I'm not complaining.... The song is a stunning masterpiece.... Significant to me and my own life experience.... And brings with each run through my mind a certain happiness.... :)))
.... A certain happiness I think we can all understand. Yes, indeed... It's a wonderful time to be a supporter of Adam Lambert! :)
@10:11
I can't get "Save Me" out of my mind either! I find myself singing, " Save Me, Save Me, Save Meeeeee" at random times during the day LOL!
Hey Yada.....You have a very good philosophy in life...you face your challenges head-on positively. :)
Aww, Lam-My, that's a really nice and encouraging thing for you to post to me. Thank you! <3 <3
"the 32-year-old singer"... In fact 33 yrs in a few days...
I'm another who can't get Save Me out of my head. Nor do I want to! The lyrics...The voice....perfection!
