You are so right, and I saw an interview where Adam says “no one can replace Freddie” and he doesn’t try. He seams to sing a tribute in beginning of songs then put Adam in at the end!
Adam is the only one I could think of that take the reins and continue the Queen legacy. He doesn't try to and of course, will never replace Freddie. He does have a similar stage presence and overall personality. He has the same swaggering confidence on stage. I think Freddie would be honored and pleased.
He's got such a powerful voice, which you need with the majority of Queen's songs. Plenty of singers have the power 'chops' as it were, but a lot of them sound screechy and shouty, whereas Adam has the melodic chops as well as the power chops. I think Freddie would have loved him 😊
I remember being so happy for Adam and Roger and Brian. Freddie had such a great stage presence and Adam does as well ❤ Crazy that he didn’t win Idol. I felt bad for the guy that did win because he knew Adam should have. Probably a good thing for Adam that he didn’t win. Great reaction 😊
Brian has called Adam the "gift from God" because they didnt go looking for him but duddenly he was there ,(on AI) and he could do it all - and sing their difficult catalog easily.
Great reaction, thx guys! I saw Queen +Adam Lambert live in Melbourne Australia in 2020 just 1 mth before lockdown! I would have had the biggest tantrum if the show had been canceled 🤣 Hands down the best concert I have ever been to, they were sensational! Brian & Roger still rockin’ it & Adam is the only one who could possibly have filled this position, as Roger himself said” I don’t know of anyone who can out sing Adam Lambert & Brian has called him “ A gift from God!” More Queen + Adam Lambert pls, love from Oz!
It is very interesting to hear the difference between his way of singing in this first performance and the later ones. This is good. But the later ones are amazing!!
I highly recommend you watch "The Show Must Go On: The Queen + Adam Lambert Story". It goes into a lot of the history of Queen after Freddie died and details of how their relationship with Adam came about and evolved.
As long as we go in with an open mind and don't try to compare Adam to Freddie, it is easy to see how talented Adam is, what a great voice he has and his strong stage presence, there is no question in my mind why Brian and Roger chose him to go out and tour with them. Both Roger and Brian missed the spectacle that is Queen, the elaborate shows and their own music that they had played for 20 years together. Adam gives the two of them the opportunity to continue on and it also gives new generations the ability to see Queen music as it should be, live and in a huge venue with all the spectacle of a huge Broadway production of what a Queen show had always been. Performing this music honors Freddie because it keeps his memory and his music alive. Adam has the power and the range to do the Queen songs in the key in which they were writen which is no small feat. Thank you for your reactions.
My grandsons saw Adam singing We Will Rock You on the Queen's 70th Jubilee Party at the Palace. It became my now 5 yr old grandson's favorite song. He taught it to his preschool class. His teacher had to limit him to singing it at lunch and recess because he would break out spontaneously singing it and leading the class to sing along. He's looking forward to teaching his kindergarten class...heck he thinks he's going to teach the whole school because he's going to run it. It will be an interesting school year for him...lol!
Excellent reaction Brit dads! We didn't watch American Idol when he was in it. Adam surprised us well and good, we saw Queen + Adam Lambert in concert last year in Los Angeles, and he did very well! Peace! ☮️
If I remember correctly, Queen was receiving a Life Time Achievement Award and they were introduced as Queen, Adam wasn't identified by name. After the performance, social media exploded that they had to do a tour and the rest gentlemen is history. The first full concert was in Kiev for Elton John's AIDS fundraiser. Elton did nearly 3 hours then Queen + Adam did another 2 1/2 hour set. It was outdoors in the city core and it was estimated the crowd was nearly 1 million. Talk about jumping in with both feet LOL. The entire set is on YT
" When we met Adam, we immediately realized that this is our man, in addition to an amazing voice and a wonderful character, he has an excellent sense of humor and self- irony. He makes us laugh all the time. We were incredibly lucky with him" - Roger Taylor czcams.com/video/SFDN3xJN-70/video.htmlsi=uYFLCeju5ya84xH0czcams.com/video/4jy22L9ki1w/video.htmlsi=LYGbBT5N6dELaOxc
The most amazing part is that, compared with his performances with them now that they are super in-sync with each other, this almost sounds """bad""". That's just how mindblowing Adam is!
Great suggestion Madi. He has such an impressive voice and really did justice to the original. Thanks for another fantastic reaction guys, as always. - Hawk
I'm sorry you can't listen to this performance in the right quality. You can only hear a small percentage. This is a masterpiece! It used to be on YT of MTV production, but it disappeared. I heard Adam for the first time then and became Glambert! Judging Adam, today, I think is tactless.. A great, well-formed artist, and from September 16 he will play on Broadway in Kabaret... Tickets are already selling great..
Жду Адама на Бродвее 16 сентября. И хоть я не фанат мюзиклов, очень хочется посмотреть на него в главной роли. Как-то в интервью он сказал, что вернется в мюзиклы только если предложат роль ведущего в Кабаре и Иуду в Иисус Христос-Суперзвезда. Так что мои поздравления Адаму. Не перестаю поражаться его универсальностью и талантомczcams.com/video/p4uGoiV7xd8/video.htmlsi=uHslK6wvpcjzmd87 czcams.com/video/Fwi5Jlhkg9Y/video.htmlsi=7CtUm_jsPwBodTjv - февраль 2024
This is completely off-topic, but may I say that the Brit Pops would be welcomed into ANY neighborhood in the U.S. ? I can so easily picture them doing regular 'dad stuff' .... complaining about politics, showing off their lawns, comparing work issues, attending backyard parties, walking their dogs, etc ,etc, etc ! I love this channel....thank you, Pops ! Cheers !🍹🌭🐕
Only difference with Adam is he does not (I believe) play any instruments like Freddie did and of course he works the audience differently as there will not be another Freddie who could control 100,000 people in a crowd. But he is a worthy person to take the helm.
@@BritPopsReact high there Brit pop reacts I noticed you got my last name wrong during the shout out to me of fire marshall bill at an Asian restaurant You see my last name is German and it goes like this GENSCH ( GEN - SCH) sort of the fraze (CH) but there's in ( S ) in the middle sort like the letter ( T ) I know my last name is a tongue twister but that's how goes (COLE GENSCH) shout out to you as well (Brit pop reacts) Look forward to seeing the reaction requests I hope to see soon 😉👍
I absolutely can't stand Adam's vocals on Queen music. I've listened to him singing many songs and he sounds the same on every song, he can't manipulate his vocals to fit each song, no grit on the rock songs at all. To me Adam would be great on Broadway, but for me he doesn't have that special ability for Queen music. Of course I've been a huge Freddie fan since 1974, so I'm really biased 😅 maybe the new fans like it and some old fans who are just happy Roger and Brian are still going, that's fine, but it's not my cup of tea.
I cannot even mention Adam's name on my channel, they would all run away 😂I respect him as a person and solo artist but Freddie is always on my mind when I edit a new video for Friday.
Yes you are biased nothing wrong with that, I am a Freddie Fan but I also love Adam, he alone has single handedly helped Queen make the biggest Rock Comeback in History, he is not a replacement for Freddie he sings Queen Songs his own way and does a brilliant job. This is a new Era for Queen now QAL Adam has been their Lead Singer for 12 years and counting. and they have millions of Fans. You don't like them which is your preference but Freddie would love him and be jealous of his talent. This is a QAL Video, if you don't like don't watch, no one is forcing you.
@@xmasbunnyscotland5355 Adam has a good voice, but it's not versatile, he has a contemporary type of voice which is great for musicals, Broadway as I said. Brian and Roger wanted to carry on and Adam gave them the vehicle to do so. People seem to get upset if others disagree about Adam 😂 I think Freddie would be happy for Brian and Roger, but Freddie being jealous I doubt that, because Freddie said he wouldn't be performing at an older age because it would be ridiculous and said he wasn't going to be one of those old hams that did know when to quit.
@@deboraclark5791 I appreciate what you are saying however this is not about Freddie, no one knows what he would think yes he wanted the Band to continue and he would be pleased that Brian and Roger and Spike have found someone with an unbelievable voice who can do justice to all Queen Songs and yes Adam can and yes I believe Freddie would be jealous. You can think what you like but Adam has rejuvenated that Band and they have been enjoying well deserved success for the last 13 years and will continue for a while yet.
@@xmasbunnyscotland5355 I'm glad for Roger and Brian they're having fun. You have your opinion and you like Adam's vocals good for you, but I have my opinion as well. You say it's not about Freddie, well it's Queen music so it is about Freddie, Adam and Freddie have totally different vocals, the music was written for Freddie's vocals, it fits him. You're an Adam fan, great, and you like the sound, wonderful. I just happened to disagree, you shouldn't get so upset, it's kind of ridiculous if you think about it, everyone has likes and dislikes. 🤣 Like I said, Adam fans get so upset if someone doesn't care for his singing, very strange. Maybe Adam fans have become fanatics.

Adam is PHENOMENAL! that performance sealed the deal for Brian May & Roger Taylor...and with that...BAM...Queen was back! 👑💜
I think Adam was such a perfect choice for them. Nobody can replace Freddie but Adam is doing so great with Queen.

Who wants to live forever, is frigging amazing by Adam!!!
This was at the EMA's in Belfast in 2011.... Adam has grown/matured into the role over the years.
He's the perfect frontman for Queen.
He's got such a powerful voice, which you need with the majority of Queen's songs. Plenty of singers have the power 'chops' as it were, but a lot of them sound screechy and shouty, whereas Adam has the melodic chops as well as the power chops. I think Freddie would have loved him 😊
Adam will take over lead (Emcee) in Cabaret on Broadway this September.
And he's only gotten better and stronger with time. Truly gifted, amazing man!
He will be on Broadway playing the emcee in the musical Caberet from 16 September until March 2025.
I remember being so happy for Adam and Roger and Brian.
Freddie had such a great stage presence and Adam does as well ❤
Crazy that he didn’t win Idol. I felt bad for the guy that did win because he knew Adam should have. Probably a good thing for Adam that he didn’t win. Great reaction 😊
Queen was presented with an award and were asked to perform so they asked Adam to sing with them that night .
Brian has called Adam the "gift from God" because they didnt go looking for him but duddenly he was there ,(on AI) and he could do it all - and sing their difficult catalog easily.
Nobody can replace Adam.
They actually asked him to join them after the American Idol performance

That’s a 10!
He can sure belt them out!
Adam is a musical genius ❤
You should react to him performing opera in Italy during a Queen concert, paying tribute to Bologna
Love Adam ❤❤❤❤
Mind blowing Freddie would be happy.
