The greatest vocalist in rock history Freddie Mercury: ”His phrasing was subtle, delicate and sweet or energetic and slamming. He was able to find the right colour or expressive nuance for each word. He had incredible discipline and control over his instrument, and an underrated rhythmic sensibility, essential for a rock singer to convincingly take on rockabilly, gospel, disco, funk, and opera as well as the blues-based hard rock Queen so easily mastered.” Adam Lambert: Not mentioned - Open Culture
I love Freddie but this right here....this is the single most soul wrenching rendition of this song I have ever heard. Even May mentioned he has never heard it sung like this before. This was dedicated to people who had been impacted by violence this concert was after a mass shooting at Pulse nightclub.
This is my all time Queen song and I'd have laughed at anyone who said a better version could be had........and here it is, I have never heard it sung better
This QUEEN and Adam Lambert's rendition is included on QUEEN and Adam Lambert's #1 Live Around The World Album and highlighted in their 2019 NETFLIX movie.
Just watched the documentary on this and damn. I loved him and remember all of the American idol videos but I never realized just how talented he actually is
One of the most flawless and stunning vocal performances ever. Whether you rate AL or not, you can't deny this is technically and emotionally stunning.
I have listened to Marc Martel and Kris Allen and I honestly believe that they don't have the strength to match Adam's vocal range. I've never heard anyone like him.
Kris Allen does not have any association with QUEEN. Kris and Marc are not even in the same league with ADAM LAMBERT . They are both unknown in the Music Industry.
Performances like this one separate ordinary pop singers from true artists! Adam didn't just sing a song, he lived it for 4 minutes, he put his heart out in every word and note, that's truly precious ❤
Everyone saying that Freddie did it better...first of all, Brian sings this song for the most part, with Freddie coming in later. Second, GET REAL, that boy has got a set of pipes, and even Brian said they were stunned after hearing Adam sing this, saying they'd never heard that song done like Adam could, with the emotion he puts into it!
This guy, damn. I'd thought that nobody could take Freddie's place. Boy, was I wrong. This is, in my opinion, one of the best Rock vocal performances. Ever. Just my opinion.
kalden07 They were in the process of their 3rd world tour called the “Rhapsody Tour. They toured North America last summer and New Zealand/Australia early this year. They were schedule for the European leg this summer, but it got postponed to next summer due to COVID.
@James Paterson, What on earth is wrong with you? How can you possibly listen to this incredibly phenomenal voice and say that? I don’t think I will ever hear another voice like that in my lifetime. Ever.
Amazing how he sings Queens Songs without trying to copy Freddie and yet performing so so so good. So impressive and so nice to see the band working together!
@@MZLIBRA1969 yup, he has the range to sing Queen songs and has his own colors to mix up the dynamics. It’s truly Queen + Adam Lambert instead of Queen + Adam trying to be Freddie and it’s awesome
Today I watched a documentary on the new Queen with Adam Lambert, and I´m left speechless & in awe.... And Adam is a wonder indeed, absolutely breathtaking! Kind regards from Germany!
Adam is considered as one of the best vocalists of all time by some music experts and also by Queen, hence he's been fronting Queen since 2012 on tours.
@@sastaassh1112 He's definitely up there at the top with the greatest. If you read any professional vocalists forums, he is always rated like one of the greatest. I guess you don't like him, he's got a lot of hate for some reason.
I keep watching American Idol and The Voice, just waiting for the next Adam Lambert and I truly don't think it will ever happen. Adam dominated that show in a way that can only come from a true star. He's hands down the best vocalist I've ever heard. I know I mentioned Idol but that's because that's where he emerged. But he has been a star in his own right ever since. This performance was even better than Freddie's and I don't like to compare them. But I'll say it about this performance. He just continues to completely blow me away.
How can any rational person see and hear this and think that God cares one damn bit that Adam was gay, or that Freddie was gay or that ANYBODY was gay?
When his body dies and realises one second later that indeed his soul is going to live forever he will see God and realise he's lost forever because his sins are not forgiven by Jesus Christ. We all will live forever. But where? With God or without God?
@@cheebacheeba6507 Hi Cheeba! No, I think you are. You are driving with your car to the south of France on the péage. And you are convinced that after 80 - 100 years your car will end up in some dust and that's it. But I can tell you, keep driving, but there is only one way to get off the péage. You get there and have to pay. ( Only once I got off by an accident by an emergency exit and the fire brigade brought me to a hospital - but we still had to pay for the péage! So it is with all our lives. Made by God. We're supposed to fulfill his plan for our lives. We're free to refuse but will suffer the consequences. Good news. Jesus loves us and what he wants me to do will bring me joy and peace.
Ali Asreco what the hell are you going on about? Sorry, but you’re wasting your life preparing for what happens once you die. The sad truth is that life is fleeting, and when we are dead, we are just dead. Stop living your life in fear of some God. You only have one life, don’t fill it with hatred for gays or whatever else some old fairy tale book tells you. If you want to torment yourself with the fear of God and Satan, go ahead, but keep that shit to yourself
Ali Asreco realize that your religion, and all others were created to help humans cope with the fear of death. That’s all. Oh and to take advantage of people and give power to bad people
One word: wauwwww! 👏👏👏👏👏 He sang this in his own way. He is not Freddie, and he is not trying to be Freddie, Freddie was amazing and the best frontman ever and we will never forget him!. But Adam is Adam and amazing in his own way and incridible to. And the best thing, Adam is helping Queen whit his talent and keeping Queen very much alive. And Queen is helping Adam to grow not to be only a good singer but to become an amazing singer. Roger and Brain are looking so happy on stage and with Adam, and that is what we see and feel, and with the love and respect for the songs of Queen for over 50 years now. And what an incridible performance this was 👏👏👏👏👏 Freddie would have called Adam a little bitch hahaha ( Roger said in interview) , but Freddie would have loved Adam to, beacause of his big talent and keeping Queen ( songs) very much alive today, together with Roger and Brian who are so happy to.
Imo, they should leave the “+Adam Lambert” and just be Queen. No one can replace Freddie, but that doesn’t mean we can move on. I’m sure Freddie would be proud of Adam to carry his legacy
Adam being Adam with such a fabulous band. While watching Adam on American Idol, I knew he was destined to be a lead for some group. What a great fit, great compliment and even greater tribute to the awesome Freddie Mercury. Thank you😌❣️
imagine that Adam and Freddie sing this song togheter... Super.. I'm so proud that Roger and Brian choose Adam to sing all of the best songs Queen.. Queen is the best rock stars in the world.. Even Brian and Roger died..
My goodness. The fact that they found Freddie was a once in a lifetime chance. Then this guy comes along, and they've done something that will most certainly never be done again. Adam is EVERY BIT AS GOOD as Freddie. And that's no slight against Mr. Mercury. He's a musical God (and prostitute - lol). But Mr. Lambert is absolutely PERFECT in fronting Queen after Freddie...and that's nearly impossible.
@@baochaochao379 we do know them because we like them for a reason and we praise them for that reason. Your reason for dislike is that you're a musically challenged moron. It's horrible being you.
I first heard this track while watching the Highlander as 12 year old in 92 and was introduced to Queen for the first time as my mum, is a big fan of theres and pointed out the music to me as belonging to Queen loved them ever since

Most under rated vocalist. Considering how consistent he is and what's hes done. ;( Dont think he would be so praised so highly by legends if he was cheating. Look up his theatre stuff like My conviction in Hair. For skilled he is. With out the gimmicks. ;(
This performance, Adam dedicated it against violence and hate, the Pulse nightclub sh**ting was the night before. His voice here, it's different, the whole band plus the crowd singing ... it's like it had the voices of extra angels
Adam has been Queens frontman for 10 years now.... This video shows why. Unbelievable performance
This is the most stunning vocal performance I’ve ever heard. Mr. Lambert has a voice like I have never heard, probably never will. He’s magnificent
I don’t think he’s as good as Mercury but he makes every song his own.
He actually impressed me…He’s definitely no Freddie..but I think they did good at finding him..

Queen really needs to leave every video of this performance on youtube so that, for decades to come, many may watch and listen to it.
I’ve seen hundreds of amazing bands and the world’s greatest live in every setting, but Adam Lambert is the best singer I’ve ever seen. Truth.
Agree.
