      @@philfitnesspt6139 Technically not, debatable when it comes to tastefulness. Lambert is an exceptionally talented and professional singer. Whether he fits Queen is highly opinionated, but as a singer Lambert is awesome in technical standards.
      I'm not really big fan of Lambert's style, but the guy can pull of extraordinarily hard stuff consistently and control. Even more consistent than Mercury, but Freddie was the soulful voice and color of the band in many more regards. I like Freddie more like anyone else, but as a singer myself I can't but respect the guy that honorably fills Freddie's boots after Paul Rodgers.

    A fine applaudable testament to the longevity and talent of the incomparable Brian May, and an enduring song, the legacy of Queen. Written in 1984, I think we all questioned indeed, what the hell is this life all about,what ARE we all fighting for?? More exploitation from the ruling powers? More slavery? Or something better, but the song does not expect that. We're just waiting for the Hammer to fall, as though the improving gist of history has been lost, defeated, the social revolution since the 1960's squandered. We were the Champions, fighting to the end. But the underlying gist to prosper, to better, and progress the ordinary people has been defeated since 1960. Sublimated as we all have been into the hypocrisies, the unfair unashamed careless greed, of the damning and ruling elites. Enslaved and powerless again, barely surviving in our own country. All the money stolen! Shit running into our rivers. And on the brink of war, to destroy the common man, who wasn't savvy enough to play the rich man's game. Haven't the ruler's deceived so well yet again! Against the true Brits who were behind the band Queen when it seemed so glorious. I wish they had made a better and clearer statement, about the abuses since then that we have all endured, in their songs. Maybe not fashionable enough, but, that's what music is for, to tell the truth and inspire the true spirit in a nation. Where money is not our God. But our hearts blessed! is our adoration and song. Loving each other. The unbreakable bond that surpasses a mortal existence. We were raised up to there! Britain was Great! in our lifetimes, since Normandy. Since Trafalgar. Not anymore. Just disingenuous using, now. The accomplices of elitist assassin's. I mourn.
