I wish all the write ups and interviews would not bring up his lifestyle. He treats people with respect, he respects himself, he's not promiscuous or into drugs so he's a great & I hope to see him soar to the top.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7838167612732796487.post-22516795831075607182013-10-26T07:17:20.295+01:002013-10-26T07:17:20.295+01:00I wish people would judge Adam by his voice and no...I wish people would judge Adam by his voice and not his lifestyle. I am a fan and have been since he appeared in Idol. His overall look is amazing and I truly thought that maybe Elvis had a son. His appearances are majestic. His over all charisma is stupendous. He is a very handsome man and that voice is just pure magic. I am 65 years old so I am not after Adam for anything except his beautiful music and personality. He will be a greater star than Elton John and I like John's music.

I was on the floor to the right of the extended stage. Maybe 10 feet from performers. Let me tell you, Adam's voice on that night was so magical. It was so rich, clear and really really really powerful to a point that scared me a little. His voice filled the entire arena and soared. I was totally blown away. And then here came his magnificent stage presence. I was completely floored. <br /><br />The crowd was ok, many people in the arena actually enjoyed the Queenbert set a lot. And you could feel people's curiosity and the respect at the same time. Although they were not necessarily Queen fans let alone Adam fans. I think the problem with them was that they were not familiar with songs like AOBTD, CLTCL, WWTLF as well as DA. And from where I stood, I observed that many people were actually stunned by Adam's voice. They didn't know what to react and was slow. You know, for young people Queen was too old for them and for older people they liked to keep calm. But they were in awe of Adam's performance. Plus, good number of people were participating and waving their hands. So, all good.

The audio feed inside MGM's Arena was much better than the Apollo but Nokia Theater in LA would be even better. One can dream! Heck, for acoustics, I'll book Disney Hall which has a hall specifically constructed in shape and from materials (soft wood) to properly carry sound.Oy vey :-)<br />LilyAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7838167612732796487.post-1857236916126719672013-09-24T22:05:09.015+01:002013-09-24T22:05:09.015+01:00Thanks, hope I manage to keep it going.

Glad you got to experience Queenbert first hand and managed to get close to the action. It really is a shame about the crowd but I guess that's what happens when you get such a mishmash of artists in the same line-up. The atmosphere will lack that passion. It's a pity because the buzz during my Queenbert experience was incredible. Hope there's more to come.Mehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03686436749564914879noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7838167612732796487.post-23439959025685577642013-09-22T21:41:11.528+01:002013-09-22T21:41:11.528+01:00It's such a difficult and daunting job to step...It's such a difficult and daunting job to step into Freddie's shoes so I'm glad they're really supportive.

I see your point when you say Adam was trying not to seek attention with his clothes, but I did miss his glam look, he didn´t even wore nail polish, and I feel this is kind of part of him. I loved his performance, he was stunning as usual, and I do love Queen,so for me it felt like heaven!

As someone who got a ticket in sec. 114, let me tell you about the crowd: Vegas rollers, guests, loaded drunk people most of who were there to see a specific act and then left. To start with, about 10% was unsold because they held onto the artificial high prices and when MGM released the tickets, people didn't know and thus didn't buy them. Some of those radio contest winners were so lost as to what to do in the crowd, it was funny to watch them. Then there were the $$ guys - old guys in their 70's nodding off with their younger female partners bopping heads. Anyway, the exodus of inebriated people is what allowed me to seat-hop my way down to floor (well, 2nd row since I am short although the security lady offered to let me go to the actual floor)and thus the last set of pictures was taken from the 2nd row of section 14 with a pretty clear view of the stage. The crowd was terrible, people didn't know what to expect but I did see that those who were paying attention actually came alive during Queen's set. It was Some Kind Of Magic! But it was not an appropriate public for Adam Lambert + Queen. None of the artists were shown any modicum of hall-wide respect, perhaps Elton John came closest but the youngsters had no patience for him. Oh and women massively left during C. Brown's set (I did too). Now let's keep our fingers crossed for an actual concert States-side.<br />Cheers,<br />Lily<br />@_Lilzy<br /><br />http://lilzy.smugmug.com/Music/Adam-Lambert-Queen-iHeartRadio/32030206_v5RvP8#!i=2781040615&k=MQK63PrAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7838167612732796487.post-3166496022633409362013-09-22T20:01:22.144+01:002013-09-22T20:01:22.144+01:00Thanks for this great review.

It felt to me like they want to champion Adam as much as possible, just as he has done so much to energize them.
