"Ultimately though, this is a Queen show and it’s about giving the people what they want: spectacle, showmanship and hits, glorious hits. They more than deliver, making Queen the perfect Christmas time show – they could take this show on the road until the end of time." ~ David Hayter of 411Mania

LINK To The Article:
It’s no radical insight to say that Adam Lambert is revelation. Brian May and Roger Taylor credit the singer with reviving Queen and the front man’s brilliance lies in his ability to “do a Freddie” without actually doing a Freddie. Rather than mimicking Queen’s legendary frontman, Adam almost sends him up, blowing Queen’s eccentricities up and allowing the audience to both laugh and indulge in the preposterous nature of it all. May and Taylor are rock solid and still play magnificently, while Adam is outrageous and playful as he celebrates an incredible hard rock legacy. There are genuinely tender moments as Brian May takes the stage alone for “Love Of My Life”: he leads the crowd in song before Freddie’s ghost eventually appears for a heartbreaking finale. There’s plenty of bite to match the sentimentality however, “Stone Cold Crazy” still kicks like a mule and “Bicycle Race” remains one of the most barmy creations to get an airing on a corporate arena stage. Ultimately though, this is a Queen show and it’s about giving the people what they want: spectacle, showmanship and hits, glorious hits. They more than deliver, making Queen the perfect Christmas time show – they could take this show on the road until the end of time.

No there never will be. They are all magnificent. Adam is magnificent both with Queen and just being Adam Lambert.
Cant wait for his new music.
Nanbert I wrote you about the movie. It is on the Playmobil trailer post. The one where you wrote me and ask me about the movie. I'm sorry I did not write about it to you yesterday. I did not see you on any recent post yesterday.
Was waiting for you.
I explained it the best I could. Not great at that kind of thing. Hope you understand me.
Love his jacket, what did it say on back? Again vocals right on point.
Sue...I completely understand. Thanks. I found it and answered you. Hope you found my answer.
creamtangerine...I think it says "Libertine" on the back of the jacket.
Thanks for the answer Nanbert.
You're quite welcome.
