PRESS AND BLOG PICKS

BBC – Post-show interview with Queen and Adam (video) “Queen received the global icon award at the MTV Europe Music Awards, with band members Brian May and Roger Taylor picking up their honour on the night. Adam Lambert, who joined the band to close show in Belfast, said it was an honour to be asked to perform. Taylor told the BBC’s Lizo Mzimba’s he was “delighted” to be still performing.”

Reality Rocks – Adam Lambert Rejoins Queen For Brilliant “Surprise” MTV EMAs Performance “…this was one of the best vocals I have ever seen Adam deliver (and that’s really saying something). Ending the EMAs with a salute to Freddie Mercury, who was being posthumously and rightfully honored with the Global Icon Award, Adam and Queen blasted through a medley of “The Show Must Go On,” “We Will Rock You,” and “We Are The Champions”…and it was a performance of champions, indeed. My only very minor complaints: There should have been maybe 17 more Queen songs, as this performance was way too brief, and Adam was never announced by name (damn you, Selena Gomez!).”

Popstar – Adam Lambert Lends Voice to Queen for MTV EuropeMusic Awards Performance “Lambert’s name was not once mentioned during the show, not even when Queen was introduced for the night’s final performance.  Lambert made no mention of it prior to the show either, even though his fans and the media were speculating about The Appearance for days.  The fact that he was not named has raised questions as to whether this is more than a one-time appearance with Queen, or if he had his name kept silent intentionally in order to honor Mercury’s memory.”

Huffington Post – Adam Lambert, Queen Perform At MTV European Music Awards (VIDEO) “The crowd at Belfast’s Odyssey Arena roared as Lambert, dressed head to toe in black leather, crooned a medley of the band’s best-known hits, including “Show Must Go On,” “We Will Rock You,” and “We Are the Champions.””

MSN – 2011 MTV Europe Music Awards: Best and worst moments – Best Fair Accompli (PHOTO) Yeah! Bring on the French! “Adam Lambert fronting Queen? It was meant to happen at some point, and the “American Idol” idol did a kick ass job of living up to Freddie Mercury’s legacy, performing both “We Will Rock You” and “We Are the Champions.” Will there be pyro? There better be. We know Gaga was (kind of) rumoured to be singing with Queen, but this will keep us tied over.”

Examiner – Adam Lambert and Queen audience shock and awe: MTV EMA 2011 “Adam arrived and in the last act of the show, appeaered in silouhette as the medley of Queen songs started.  After about four bars the audience gasped with shock as they realized it was Adam Lambert singing the ‘We are the Champions’  and ‘We Will Rock You’ medley. First made famous by Freddie Mercurty, noone has come close to singing with the Mercury talent, until tonight.”

The Hollywood Reporter-  MTV EMAs: Adam Lambert Performs with Queen (Video) “To the delight and surprise of the 8,000 seated in Belfast’s Odyssey arena, with many millions more tuning in online worldwide, Lambert appeared in silhouette for the first minute and a half of the nearly eight-minute performance with Queen, which featured a medley of hits, including “Show Must Go On,” “We Will Rock You,” and “We Are the Champions.””

Pressparty – EMAs: Adam Lambert steps into the late Freddie Mercury’s shoes for a one-off performance  “Vocal powerhouse Adam Lambert stunned crowds at tonight’s 2011 MTV European Music Awards by stepping in as the frontman of iconic stadium rock outfit Queen… Lambert belted out incredible renditions of ‘The Show Must Go On’, ‘We Will Rock You’ and ‘We Are The Champions’, and was accompanied by guitarist Brian May and drummer Roger Taylor.

MyStyleNews – Adam Lambert Brings His Flare to the 2011 MTV EMAs “The “American Idol” alum was certainly a hit at the Odyssey Arena in Belfast, as he evoked screams from the crowd of lucky attendees while slowly making his way inside for the overseas music showcase.”

    I was at first perplexed and dismayed that no mention was ever made of Adam’s name, but there must have been a reason, right? The more I watched the YT vid of the performance, the more I was aware how carefully he’d thought things through. And btw, that shot of him above was my fave still of the event~ fierce!

    …And Adam shimmers with a unique & singular brilliance!

    I’m in GLAMBERTVILLE heaven from the performance I’ve watched several times. Spread the word that this show will be repeated throughout the week at least on certain AT&T Uverse packages. I know because I upgraded my package for a month to see it on a big screen. It was worth the $15.00. I’m in US west coast. I’m so proud & in awe of Adam.

    WOW! Amazing, shocking – another vocal paramaunt by Adam. Just take off my hat and admit once again – Great Vocalist. Great actor, as well.

    Such a really RRRock voice strength!

    I had to laugh at Neil’s tweet about Adam looking like he was casting spells on Brian May. I had the immediate same impression. It felt like theatre as I watched Adam, dressed all in black, command the stage like a sorcerer. Absolutely no disrespect to Brian, but it looked like Adam had Brian tethered to him by some invisible force, directing him as they moved on the stage and up and down the runway. Brian’s expressions were of a man near tears of joy as followed Adam, almost a childlike wonder in his eyes, as if he was seeing Freddie next to him again. The look never left his face as Adam led and coaxed him to follow down the runway, as he reluctantly took Adam’s command to move apart and play his solo, and as he ran back to Adam’s side for the finale. It was magical, eerie, and powerful
