As a Queen fan since 1975, I'm happy Roger and Brian are happy, and I get to see them live again. Adam does a kick-ass job, a fantastic performance. That's all I need to know.

    I'm 68 and have seen all the greats. I watched only one season of American Idol (2008) BECAUSE of Adam. When he first stepped onto stage at the auditions (with Bohemian Rhapsody no less) I was hooked. He has the most amazing voice I have ever heard (other than Babs of course). And he's actually a NICE guy! Plus he has some really great looks. Freddie would be proud. He does him justice while staying true to himself. Adam is truly amazing - a gift from the heavens!

      Again, thank you John! I come from a Mom who sang opera under Toscanini at Carnegie Hall many, many decades ago. Walt Disney actually tried to hire her to be the voice of Snow White, but she was busy with a career and a small child, my half sister, who is now 92. Toscanini compared her voice to that of the great Lily Pons. My lullabies were from the most incredible soprano voice you could imagine. She spent a good deal of time trying to train my voice, but I was young and silly, plus I had my Dad's pleasant voice, not hers. She wanted to be my manager. I really appreciate what you do and enjoy that you share your knowledge with the masses, ... uh, most of us, who learn to appreciate a gift where it exists from your talents.

    Adam is the only person alive I have trusted with Queen music, and I have not been disappointed yet. He is really a unique vocalist who is on the same level as Freddie without sounding like he is doing Queen karaoke or trying to imitate the original in any way. I cannot wait for normal life to resume for many reasons, one of the biggest ones being the pleasure of live music.

    This one is absolutely my best favorite Queen’s song Adam sings. Gives me chills and tears me up every time I hear it even on recording. I was fortunate to see him live 3 times with Queen and 3 more on his solo tour. He’s a performer you can watch every day of the week and never get tired of. I have friends follow him all over the world. Thank you for choosing this song. He’s great in all but this one definitely stands out. I’m also happy to hear old Queen’s fan are accepting Adam to sing for Freddie and love seeing big smile on Brian’s face when they are on stage. Adam gave them the chance to be Queen again. 💕

I know that he was the best thing ever to hit American Idol, really in a league of his own, and I see has only continued to master and refine that phenomenal voice ( and let's not forget those delicious moves, ooooohhh!!! ) I know he's never pretended to take the place of Freddie Mercury ( the all time great, never to be bested, imho ), nor does he have to. He is a musical genius in his own right. Sometimes, cruising around CZcams definitely pays off. Yeah, and the All Female Band and Vocals: the cherry on top!!

    Freddie is everything everyone has ever said about him.
    He is greatness personified. A legitimate grand master of the musical arts.
    He will be globally missed for as long as music is available to the world.
    Adam Lambert is criminally overlooked as a vocalist and performer.
    The underestimation of this singing phenomenon is simply wrong and grossly unjust.
    I thank Brian & Roger so very much for appreciating this 'Queen' as much as you do because he is so very, very deserving of fronting this calibre of band.
    Like Brian & Roger, I, too, believe that Freddie would not just love Adam as a singer, but would be truly proud that he was the singer they chose to share with the world his life through singing and performing.
    Adam Lambert is as much a part of Queen as Freddie Mercury was..... Just in a different way.
    It was Brian May & Roger Taylor that accepted Freddie Mercury into their close-knit bond, and they also accepted Adam Lambert, and they were both the best decisions they could have ever made.
    I miss John Deacon, and I hope one day that he may find a way to play once more with the band that he helped forge.
    Queen.......
    The greatest creators of music I've ever heard in my lifetime thus far.
    Til the day I die, I will listen, love, and feel their music.
