Adam Lambert 24/7 News

Another good review....well earned, of course.

Nice review, only I didn't see Vegas type theatrics. Lol

I agree, Sunflower! Unless she (critic Selena Fragassi) is referring to the moment I pointed out in the other post when Adam dances to Brian's solo during "Hammer To Fall" -- although that was at the NY show, not sure if he did the same in Chicago. But that was simply Adam doing an obvious camp tribute and being humorous, for one moment.

I think she is taking one particular moment that triggered something in her about Vegas, and then applied that thought to the entire "first half," as she put it. But, to say the entire first half was Vegas show theatrics? Uhhhh...no.

Well, that entrance wan't exactly low key...and Adam doesn't just stand still and sing...nor does Brian just stand in one place and play. But what the critic doesn't seem to understand is THAT'S QUEEN AND ADAM LAMBERT...camp, flashy, outrageous, dramatic, theatrical, funny, serious, irreverent....all occuring in the midst of some of the finest music and musicianship on the planet....THAT's QUEEN AND ADAM LAMBERT! There's NO OTHER BAND like them!

Agreed, Nanbert! What the three of them have built together over these years is absolutely incredible! I think some (skeptical, critical, et al) people need to sit back and think about this -- it's an amazing feat what they did -- and it's an AMAZING thing that Brian and Roger chose to believe the truth about Adam's deep well of talent and put TRUST into him that he would THRIVE. And, boy oh boy, did their bets PAY OFF! They are in ecstasy creatively -- and their bank accounts ain't doing too bad either, I'm sure.

And in watching and listening through all these videos ... these are songs written by all four of the original band members, and here is this amazing artist they found that BREATHES new life into the ENTIRE catalog! He can do the booming rock, he can do the danceable tracks, he can do the ballads, he can do the operatic, he can do the humorous, he can sing high, he can sing low, he can do all the vibrato, etc etc etc -- and he can do the fashion and the showmanship and the comedic. I really truly do believe that Freddie is in heaven (in more ways than one) that Adam is singing HIS works, interpreting them so beautifully, and keeping his band ALIVE!

broddybounce....so true! And that remark about Adam..."...an eye-winking flamboyancy no other living performer could pull off." How many times have one of us said that!

But one has to wonder what Adam would have been like now without Queen. Where else could he have completely unfurled his wings and followed his instincts as he has done with Brian and Roger bolstering his courage.... and providing the camaraderie and musical brilliance as the perfect setting for Adam's growth.

I will have to proclaim that the review of Anthony Kuzminski is absolutely the most beautifully written body of work that I have ever read, when it comes down to reviews. His brilliant use of the English language to convey the majesty of the QAL concert is pure gold! Wow, when I read a review written by a professional with Anthony's sheer talent, which he displays with his command of the English language, I get shivers down my spine, (pardon the pun). Since I spend hundreds of hours editing "papers", my heart sings when I experience the true beauty of people who are trained artists with the English language. It has become more rare in this day and age to command our beautiful language with the pen. Great job, Anthony! What a talent you are in your chosen field! Jean Renard
