Voice Teacher Reacts - Adam Lambert + Queen - Who Wants to Live Forever, Live - Isle of Wright 2016 

It's because Adam couldn't be Freddie!!! Never!!!

Well said and a wonderful thing.

@@picothehuskymalamutepc9222 He couldn’t and he doesn’t have to be. He’s great as Adam Lambert, his chapters hasn’t closed yet

Adam Lambert is FOREVER PART OF QUEENS HISTORY AND LEGACY along with Paul Rodgers👏

I loved Queen’s music with a passion. I loved Adam Lambert on American Idol. Saw them together in concert in Boston. Cried happy tears to hear the music again with an amazing singer who I also wanted to see. Freddie is Freddie…the one and only. Adam is also Adam…the one and only. What a world to hear this great music with both vocalists. Goosebump chills.

He’s got to be a ‘god’, I swear... unreal.

Hes the front man of queen now and has his solo career aswell I'd say hes getting all he deserves in life he couldn't go any higher if he tried I'd say hes made it .

@@HerondalesAngel Probably people thought he deserves legentary level in music history instead of just a "great singer"?

I dunno, lead singer of queen. Doesn't get much better than that

Adam Lambert has one of the best voices on the planet, his voice is so unique, and beautiful.

Very well said. I'm glad Adam is being himself and not trying to imitate Freddy. And, he's doing quite well for himself and for Queen.

Babs doesn't hold a candle to Adam. ;D

Adam has said he doesn't look or sound like Freddie and that he is just himself. Love this guy!@@sherryy1743

TRUE!! @@commonsense8248

Same here regarding Idol. That was the only season I watched and the only reason was Adam. When he performed with Queen at the end of the season, I decided then and there that he was the ONLY person on the planet worthy of lifting Freddie's mic.

😢♥️

Didn't know that Brian was loosing his hearing. Thanks for letting me know.

That’s pretty amazing!

Darla Hays losing, not loosing 🙄

@@bkythatsme thanks for pointing out that no matter, how much I hate to admit it.......I am not perfect. 😊

Yes, Brian calla him GFG "gift from God"!

Ｉ think this guy is also insane: Marc Martel ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-HcZKtR0dzew.html

@@todosealion9469 He does sound like Freddie

Brian and Roger have both said they did not want an imitation, someone who sounded like Freddie. It would be too painful. They love Adam; they have chemistry with him. It works for all of them. 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.

@@feelinguru-vywiththepaingu9808 well put! 👏🏻

Elizabeth Hewins Peace & comfort to you, your granddaughter &whole family . So sorry for your loss but glad you have each other & your memories ❤️🕊❤️🕊

Emily Chambers thank you! So sweet of you.

My oldest son passed away in 2008 and I was heartbroken and devastated. I began watching Adam on American Idol in 2009 and corny as this sounds he brought me so much joy that he helped with my grief. Love Adam then and now, a class act and a beautiful person inside and out. BTW I have never voiced this before but it is the truth. Thank you Adam.

Sharman Galloway deepest condolences. Glad you have found some comfort in music Hope you find continuing peace

My husband and I saw Queen and Adam in July as well we saw him in Pittsburgh. They were all absolutely amazing. I’m sorry for your and your granddaughters loss. I’m very happy you all got to experience them live and help you all heal. Blessed be.

Listen to his Kennedy Center performance of Cher's Believe. Fabulous!

@Be Alight Cher cried. I cried too. Fantastic performance! ❤️

Absolutely amazing!! And his voice is truly even better live than on video...hard to believe til you experience it. His voice is other-worldly...magical.

val macclinchy m

@@freddiemercury4evr That is so true. Saw them live 2 years ago and his voice is so powerful in person.

Trevor Millard bb

Thankfully he didn’t win American Idol but I did vote for him over and over. Absolutely Amazing! ❤️

Absolutely true.

if you want to see Brian May "listening to Adam" and "forgetting to play" - check out the video "Somebody to Love" in Melbourne, Australia - and the ending of that song is just mind-blowing

I cant wait to see them in may🤗

Dimash can be a good competitor for him

@Granypanies You better believe it! And it's not alone the big hip and ass swing. It's him just walking around, slightly moving his shoulder (and other body parts), little sounds of groaning and breathing, making eyes contact to the audience (I swear he recognizes people who have been in front row recently) or falling on his knees and totally down to the floor for the most sexy song "Get down make love". I could go on forever ... Adam is the one and only. ❤

Yes, his voice doesn't shine through on video

I agree ! Recorded Adam is great but seeing him live is phenomenal ! Several months ago I took my 16 year old son to see Queen+Adam and it was mind blowing for both of us

On 2013 tour he had a fever and bronchitis and did the full set flawlessly. Unbelievable. He's also a solo artist and done many gigs solo. Check out Closer to You live (from his most recent album).

for real he has so much control over his vocals that I still can't get over it

I don't typically cry at songs, but these songs with Adam singing just get to me. So much heart, so much soul applied to this song by Adam. I can "feel" the message in the words. I will have to watch for him to come to my state/city. I'll be first in line for a front-row seat.

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.

Mary Lou H So lucky to have a mom who sang to you like that!

I've seen him twice solo and once with Queen. Amazing

I remember there was a lot of snobbery online before that gig. Some festival goers dismissed Queen with Adam Lambert. Strange that Adam still has to prove that he's the great vocalist even after performances like this one.

Adam himself will preach to the audience that he is not there to replace Freddie, as there will only ever be one Freddie. He is there to keep Queen’s amazing music alive.

Adam Lambert is FOREVER PART OF QUEENS HISTORY AND LEGACY along with Paul Rodgers👏.

You should give his latest Ep "velvet side A" a listen, trust me you won't be disappointed. ru-vid.com/group/PLuuNtD-xmhd20Eepzc9HOjL0dFyi2Qk_G

Bored Nerd: I clicked on the link in your reply and I'm beginning to realize what fantastic music I've been missing for the past several years. 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 RU-vid definitely pays off. Yeah, and the All Female Band and Vocals: the cherry on top!!

@@lhm72052 thank you for replying! No problem, you can always catch up, you can start out with this years releases, including 3 other songs that aren't on of the Ep, and then revisit his older albums if you like. And yes you're right, he's awesome and a very underrated musician.

@@lhm72052 ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-JwmEaVjE_s4.html

@@lhm72052 To add try to figure out his solo career!! its' really fascinating. And early-career prior to Idol. This is why they celebrate his voice- like Meatloaf said- he's real.

Somewhere Freddie's smiling, no doubt.

I so agree!! Adam is so wonderfull and he takes my breath away just by singing!! He´s so gorgeous!!

YES, and how amazing that they struck gold twice--with Freddie and Adam. Long live Queen!

You need to check out Dimash Kudaibergen singing “SOS”. I freaking love Adam, however Dimash has an unbelievable and astonishing vocal range- which actually exceeds Adam. It’s crazy

Someone beat me to it. Adam is great. No doubt. But listen to Dimash. You won’t believe it. SOS is a good one to start with.

I guess you haven't heard of Freddie Mercury

While good, his range doesn't come close to that of Dimash.

@@jakegutierrez3216 Who hasn't heard of Freddy. But even Freddy couldn't touch Dimash.

I would love to hear Adam and Ann Wilson do a duet. Ann is a rock goddess with a truly one-of-a kind voice!

Im so jealous!!!😵

Still waiting for Adam to have his solo tour bec QAL wont probably come to my country, not even in my dreams. If he ever come again, i would fly even in SG or Indonesia or Taiwan, just to see him.

I have seen them in Frankfurt in 2015 and it surely was the best concert I had ever seen. Adam is just an amazing singer and performer. He makes the songs his own and he NEVER imitated Freddie.

my all-time favorite by Adam during one of his solo performances (Indianapolis 2010 - Glam Nation Live tour) is the song "Soaked" - this is where he really "performs" a song - audience is mesmerized & Simon Cowell would say "you're too theatrical"

Yes, Adam is unique live vocalist...

Andy Hutchinson how dare you say that adam is so bad compared to freddie he has a womens vocal cords no power in his voice at all no one is and no one will be better than freddie im sorry i had to put facts on the table

@@ImmortalSISU Well Brian May and Roger Taylor disagree with you. And their opinion is much more inportant

ok they are trying to make it so everyone forgets about freddie because they want all the attention they were jealous cus freddie was queen so everyone talked about him only and then he died so they started that parody band john knew that without freddie its nothing so he left roger and brian are delusional attention seeking fucks one day you will understand my dear

Right OK. Whatever you think. Didn't know I was talking to a fan boy

@@AmaltheaGaming not a fan boy just talking facts so

Heather Nelson oh wow you are sooooo right that gave me goosebumps reading that!!! Adam is AMAZING!!!!

Adam lambert is NOT. Freddie

@@craighughes7103 we know and he knows too. But he is the only one who can sing with such a great passion the songs alongside Queen. And let me tell you they still perform and will have concerts on 2021. See the documentary Queen and Adam Lambert: show must go on at Netflix or here in RU-vid 🤟

Then, I wish he would have sent us someone better than a Las Vegas cabaret singer. I know he is not Freddie and people say he is not trying to be which is a very good thing because he is definitely not, not even close.

REALLY! BUT ADAM IT'S THE ANSWER TO FREDDIE DEATH!

He does. He talks about his fans all the time. Specially in interviews.

Jame Andy, Thank you!

Agee with you, your teachings are incredible! Makes me understand and appreciate what a great performer is giving us!

I think wrong marketing. His management should've presented him as the best vocalist ever, not a dance/pop singer.

One of，there are some great ones out there too

@@Shrekreality I'm talking about wrong promotion and bad management from the very beginning of his career. There are other great singers for sure and no one doubts their vocal abilities. Adam Lambert still has to prove that he's a great vocalist every time he performs.....

@@lararoostalu9318 I am not American but I thought he is BIG, because everytime I watch mix vocalist videos , he is on the very top, people from all whole world praise him so much

@@Shrekreality I'm not American either. There's too much negatively towards Adam on every video....

This is not Queen, this is Brian and Roger setting up their retirement fund

Sir Brian May and Roger Taylor are and will always be Queen. What retirement fund are you talking about?

Adam Lambert is FOREVER PART OF QUEENS HISTORY AND LEGACY along with Paul Rodgers👏.

John Deacon and Freddie Mercury's Phoenix Trust Fund benefits from Sir Brian May, Roger Taylor and Queens Management Team decision in continuing their path and passion for music. Profits from their West End Productions in UK and Las Vegas NV USA, from their collaboration with Paul Rodgers, Adam Lambert and with Kerry Ellis in select European Cities, profits from their merchandise sales as well.

edi5289 I think believe is better than the original. Adam is the most incredible artist and Freddie would be proud of the job he is doing with queen.

I recorded all of Adam's performances on AI. Of course now they're all on RU-vid. He is so fantastic!

That is what Meatloaf said. But no one wants to say it. He derserves better.

Also, if you watch enough performances of songs you'll notice he does very subtle switchups in his delivery. He's fascinating.

@@jillmilnes7613 yup glad he does it. Ppl think he lipsync 😕

I so agree! Going to see them for the 6th time next year. Been front row 4 times now and Adam is also ALWAYS making eye contact with his audience up to the point that you just forget the lyrics to your fav Queen songs. So as long as they are touring, I will be there to see them again.

So glad that I saw the real thing.

Jill Milnes You’re SO lucky! I saw him twice back right out of his AI days, and I’m ready again!

Jame Andy Thank you for the kind words!

All of a sudden after responding to you this afternoon three more voice teachers showed up on RU-vid all analyzing Freddie Mercury and all 3 with big smiles while watching. You started something here! :-)

Thank you John, this means a lot. I fell into tears when I watched the whole performance, Adam just is the BEST for Queen, I´m so proud of him and I think that so is Freddie up there in heaven! John, thank you so much for bringing this to my attention! Yours Pekka from Finland!!

Thank you, Ed!
