Adam Lambert to Front Queen? He Answers on SIRIUS XM Radio

[105rogue]

WWWWWOOOOOOOOOWWWWWWW what a joke!!!!! I'm not saying that he is not talented but there is only one person who could ever front QUEEN and that's FREDDIE MERCURY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! This "kid" can't hold a candle to the legend that Mercury was and he just makes himself sound silly acting like he could. Freddie was and still is the greatest frontman in rock history. That's why he has his own statue!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I'm sure this "kid" has a place in the music world, but it's not on par with Freddie.

[xNatalie24x]

I don't want him to become a more definite member of Queen. But I would love for him to do what Paul guy from Bad Company did and tour with them for a year,

[johnp5327]

couldnt hold freddies jock

[Kalabanano]

It's because Freddie was gay and people are jealous

[TheClassica87]

I think Adam is right. The guy has an amazing voice, and if Freddie was alive, he would no doubt LURVE Adam, probably in more ways than one. LOL. Still, I think Queen handles the memory and legacy of Freddie better than any band ever, and that is they allow Freddie's memory to last. There will never be another Freddie Mercury -- EVER -- and I think Brian and Roger realize that. It would be lovely if Adam did a special with them, but that's it. Queen is Freddie Brian Roger John. The end.

[whitewarrior251]

dont blame him for not wanting to join queen,i think he would show freddy up ,just like he did to kiss

[R00G00]

wow his skin is BAAAAAAD

[TheAdamGurl]

@R00G00 ur skin is horrible soo STFU



[R00G00]

@TheAdamGurl you trolling me wont make his skin any better

[Toony678]

The guy didn't even win on the crappy reality show, and people have the Gaul to compare him to Freddie Mercury a fucking ROCK GOD! The man is an icon a legend..Adam Lambert is not fit to shine his shoes!

[TheAdamGurl]

@Toony678 wow i hate u just go away cuz no one likes ur such a tard adam is amazing and ur not fit to talk about him thats how horrible you are

[Toony678]

@TheAdamGurl

Well I don't care what you think because you're an idiot...if you're too lazy to even completely spell out the a four letter word I hate you.

[TheAdamGurl]

@Toony678 actually its called txt talk r u stupid ur an idiot and im not lazy im probs more active than u and btw i hate u too :)

[asdfkie]

Fuck he should have fucking joined Queen!!!

[jinjabreadboi]

You know what? Adam is a human being. Freddie is/was a human being. They are both singers, you can't expect them to sound EXACTLY the same. What makes anyone a fan of Mercury when you can't even pick up his freaking message of peace & equality? Who are you lot to say Adam isn't worthy? Are you better than him???

[Toony678]

Of course he's not joining Queen he's not good enough no one is...especially not him...he's not good enough to clean Freddie's shoes.

[CarmenRosaOlaechea]

@Toony678 shut up! hes much better than freddy. and btw its not freddie, its freddy. too many stereotypes. hes a greeat singer

[Toony678]

First off...it is Freddie, not Freddy...but judging by your atrocious grammar I guess I can't expect you to be intelligent enough to know that...and second he's not even 1% as good as Freddie Mercury...Freddie Mercury is a better singer, better song writer...and just an all around better person there's a reason he's in the Rock And Roll Hall of Fame, and responsible for one of the most successful songs in history. If you do seriously think he's better you're a fucking dumb ass

[CarmenRosaOlaechea]

@Toony678 atroucious grammar? i guess youre just not american. honestly im not gonna fight over freddy mercury or whatever his name is. i dont caare, like seriously i have nothing to say. im not a fan of freddy mercury or rather of lambert. i was sayin hes amazing which he for sure is. theres a difference between adam lambert and freddy mercury. adam is getting famous and freddy is. but what do you mean by "hes not good enough to clean freddy's shoes" ... that was really retarded

[Kalabanano]

@CarmenRosaOlaechea Freddie*

[Toony678]

Of course he's not not joining Queen he's nowhere near good enough..no one is this guy isn't good enough to clean Freddie

[Cathie8791]

I think Adam has the right perspective on this.  Adam is amazing and I loved hearing him sing with Queen on AI. It would be great if he joined them again for a special performance or two (as in Queen + Adam Lambert). But nobody, nobody can ever replace Freddie, and I think the remaining band members made a promise to themselves that they never would. At least not on a permanent basis. Queen was and always will be Brian, Roger, John, and Freddie. And that's the way it should stay.

[vamosama]

love u Adam u're PERFECT as u are :)

[psychowshiro93]

i think if he wouldnt overprise it he would be more famous, the problem isnt that hes gay the problem is that he wants to show to earlie what kind of person he is.. his performences are to MUCH .. MUCH xD

[psychowshiro93]

i think at the moment is adam the BEST singer of the world !!! there are so many ppl like enrique who can sing so wonderful but adam showed in americ. idol that he isnt ONE of the best singers --> he IS THE BEST .. ive never heard a man singing so different like him, he can sing everything and has such a wonderful voice and you can hear his songs again and again without beeing bored like the gaga songs-.- hes amazing and so cute :D hehe.

[Genkimark]

Besides Freddie, only George Michael and Adam Lambert could ever front Queen. No disrespect to Paul Rogers (Bad Company was great), but there's just no way!

[MsSharon1031]

@Genkimark I agree with your comment. However I went back to listen to Paul sing with Queen and was seriously disappointed. He was really good with Bad Company and "Cant' Get Enough" is still my all time favorite by that band. I think he was let go by Queen for reasons than he wasn't good enough to front Queen. In my opinion Adam would fit best with Queen as lead singer as he has an incredible range as did Freddy.

[musicaholic505]

@nastymonster NOBODY will EVER front queen, NOBODY can beat freddie. its IMPOSSIBLE. yes, adam could do a concert, but NEVER join it just wouldnt work

[MsSharon1031]

@musicaholic505 first of all Adam wouldn't accept to front Queen he wants to make his own music not sing classic rock. But I hope someday he will do a concert with Queen as they really respect him and his talent. Brian May comments often as to how incredible Adam is when he sings.

[xoxMakeMeLoveYouxox]

I absolutely ADORE adam lambert but I have to say that hes right about not joining queen. first off, no matter how talented or prodigious a person is i would still not want them to replace Freddie Mercury cuz first off it would get a lot of hate, secondly, Adam just started his own singing career last year so why jump into a band so fast, and last, I dunno Queen to me is on a whole other level than any other singer/band these days... someone joining now would like offbalance the universe ahhaha

[chest002]

And just one more thing, Adam, I was shocked you didnt win 1st place on Idol. What in the H E double hocky sticks was America thinking? You were the whole package. Well we saw who came to mentor this year. Good for you. At least the producers of Idol know who should have won. Adam, Queen would be the RIGHT thing to do. Queen will launch you into rock history. I am sure Freddy would strongly approve. T H I N K

[chest002]

Adam Lambert, You need your freekin head examined dude. You are far better than Paul Rodgers as the frontman for Queen. That moment performing with Queen on Idol was a door wide open. I would at least give it a try. We know no one can replace Freddy, but you are definitely a close match. You should really strongly consider the Queen thing. I would buy your music if that happened. I am sure a lot of people would.

[xoxDifference]

NOOOOO!! ADAAM!!

CONTINUE QUEEN!!

This broke my heart.

[BartinixP]

@Marblessa i accidently gave you a thumbs down!xD i think adams is freaking great and his sexuality has nothing to do with his singing performance... adam is great...

[her767]

i admire his talent and unique personality

[sweetttina666]

Front Queen? Um....NO!!!!! That would be the biggest debacle in music history! Can you imagine the bloody brawl that would ensue at the first concert when Adam Lambert fans meet Queen fans?

[animeilove08]

well the band asked him to join. not the fans.

[stewielad]

my god it looks like a make up factory blew up and he ran into it.

[AdamJamesLeighton]

has anyone noticed how high his voice is at the start? Adam Lambert and Queen, sounds good!

[teddyqueen]

he is too tiny to join queen.

good singer .

but frontman of queen?

hell no

[BichodeOro]

@teddyqueen: I couldn't agree with you more.  Even if it's not nice to hear for Lambert's fans... he is good... but he is not Queen good (which is too high for pretty much anyone alive right now)

[Queen7185]

@BichodeOro he IS Queen good, hes better than Paul Rodgers (no disrespect to paul i think hes great) bt Adam just brings somethin else to us, and he would do Freddie some justice

[skromnaya]

A lot of people do everything to stop their acne but nothing helps.Poor Adam=/

[lulumariemissypu]

@skromnaya Poor Adam? Don't be too sad with the ton of Money he's getting he can fix just about anything. He doesn't have time and it's only real noticable(and hardly a chronic case) under fluorecent lighting.

[morganjeanie]

i know it looks horrible i hate that he has so many problems with acne hes extremely hot

[michellehuang23]

whoa...acne adam?

[skromnaya]

Yeah he has bad skin.who cares,he's still hot!

[coxy992000]

lanenga47 is nothing but a racist there is fuck all wrong with gay people in fact i am straight but some off my best friends r gay so LANENGA47 shut the fuck up and go give us all peace by jumping off the highest cliff and die

[lanenga47]

sales have gone up? from what? he didnt do anything before so there is nothing to compare to....if he would do stuff that he did on american idol then he would be 100 times bigger than he is by doing this gay shit that he is doing...and who gives a shit about his sales in finland its america that counts!

[lanenga47]

the sad thing about what Adam decided is that "his stuff" is going to be the bullet in the head for his career.

[persica36]

lanengal47, you couldn't be more wrong. His album sales have gone up.  In Finland he's now #1 on itunes. Google Adam albums sales. No bullet in his career. Check his amazon scores. Don't make assumptions when you haven't done your homework.

[ChukchaChan]

awh, his skin's bumpy. d'awh

[iceecream723]

so?

[TheSDolL]

u asshole...Hes The Cutest and The Hottest man AlivE!

[maddie486]

He never said he wanted to be Freddie Mercury! He is his own man with his own style of singing. And I, for one, think he is THE most talented person on the face of the planet!!

[fishSG1]

I totally agree

[TheRascalKing007]

Only because Freddie has now left it ;-)

[TVHS1993]

@maddie486 Yes YEs he may be the Most powerfull singer of our time,BUT if Freddie Mercury was still rockin,HE would blow adam away in no time...no hate though

[trojansforever]

He will never be freddie mercury

[ChrisMagoo99]

no one said he is trying to be

[TheDarkFrontier]

Adam Lambert is a very strong singer definately, but, I dunno I just think people would be even more alienated if he went with Queen on a tour. Some were alienated with Paul Rodgers, Queen + Adam Lambert would be a disaster. BUT, he is an extremely talented singer, he should definately go further with his career.

[suppersassysaylee23]

he's so cute

[Darklordlambert]

You said it PERFECTLY my friend!

[Marblessa]

I am just so sick and tired of every single video with Adam here on youtube, with comments about him being gay. How come people need to make some (often rude) comments about him being gay. Why can't people comment if they like or dislike his MUSIC instead of his sexuality. Please give this a thumb up if you agree.

[wwemaza]

STEADY!!!!ON!!!

[Katmarie100]

@Marblessa I'm writing my thumbs up at you because my computer won't register it if I click on the thumbs up icon for some reason. So....thumbs up mate!

[Marblessa]

@Katmarie100 Nice :) !

[rianraymundo]

he sat like a MAN he didn't cross his legs girly \:D/

[silver3344]

just because he's gay, doesn't mean he has to act girly -__- No need to continue stereotypes...

[gamerchico]

@silver3344 totally agree 

[FaultyParadise]

He's a masculin type.

[chicoisdaman]

I guess it's a matter of opinion, but I find it absurd to say Queen sounds better w/o Freddie. Ms Mercury was QUEEN, and while talented musicians, no way do they become Iconic with Paul, Adam, or ANYONE else.

[techn44]

Well I think this interview clearly reflects Adam's opinion on joining Queen as a member: "probably not gonna happen". He wants to be himself, not another Freddie's Replacement, although I admit they would look and sound tremendous together with Brian and Roger...

[DanDantheMusiqueMan]

Call me a purest, but Queen will never be Queen without Freddy. Queen with Paul sounds like a good Queen cover band to me. Paul was the voice of Free and Bad Company, not Queen. Adam would be a better replacement, but still not the same. Besides I would like to see Adam Lambert be known as Adam Lambert, not the "other Freddy replacement."

[wwerulestna]

If you were a purest, you would know how to spell Freddie's name properly.

[lovemeacoustic]

pause it at 25 seconds! if you watch lie to me then you know thats the face of anger!

[AdamLambertRocks611]

damn. he shud join queen.

[wwerulestna]

No he shouldn't.

[dchang11]

lambert would fit perfectly for queen

[brucebirch79]

Please dear lord, If Queen is even considering this they are a total joke. Paul Rodgers is a million time the singer and performer this joke will ever be. He has range, that's it. Queen sounds far better with Paul than ever with Freddie. The songs have so much more power and intensity

[Mozzie2012]

Woah, man, not to be argumentative, really, but there is no way you can say Paul is better than Freddie.

[Tribbiani1982]

Gary Mullen should join Queen!

[julianaportesdavid]

LOOVE YOU ADAM!

[diablillo299]

I think if he join Queen (taylor-may) the band shouldn't be "Queen + A. Lambert"

they have to find another name for the band because freddie's memory and john deacon is no longer with taylor and may

[bobthwart]

I'm not sure why XM would have someone so stupid not to recognize the perfect connection between Adam and Queen. Damn you have got to be beyond stupid to not see the beauty in that connection. If this isn't rectified soon then the reality that I have always questioned about the top brass at this "global" corp. is truthfully lost and desperately needs attention that incurs firing those that have been complaisant at the top

[MascaraxFreak]

He would be good either way. He is no Freddie, don't get me wrong, but he might be better. But no one knows for sure ;). & Queen loves Adam, even if he does go solo he will probably still sing with them & KISS again...

[gamingstonedx]

true but the gay singer tradition would continue:D

[MrMusicman25]

dude, fuck you, why the fuck would you say that, go and insult freddie mercury?!!!! the greatest frontman ever!!!!

[gamingstonedx]

how is that insulting freddie mercury???

he was gay!

[nokia0281]

I really don't understand the logic behind Adam joining Queen. He is in a position to be a huge star doing Solo which I think is what most band members end up doing when they get big. In essence, Adam will be going backwards. If he owns the band like Chris Daughtry, that's a different story. I love Queen especially with Freddy Mercury, but it's no longer the band it used to be. Queen brings nostalgia, the bygone era of Freddy Mercury. Adam is the future of the music industry.

[MusicLove54]

nokia.. I give you 5 thumbs up..... Yessssss, he is the future!!!!! He is talented enough to be a "single" act.

[JuMikaQueen]

That's true...anyway Freddie is irreplaceable...

[nthingtoofear]

He would be a god damned fool to not join them. Moneywise alone he would be a fool. Then there's the more than 300 million records they've sold... Hey go solo if you want, but you wouldn't want two of the greatest song writers in history with you? Like I said, go for it if you want.

[noraacmw]

If i were him, I wouldn't join Queen either. If i really love music, who cares about the money i might lose for not joing Queen. I wanna make my own LEGACY! lol, i think Adam Lambert wants that too! Dont get me wrong, Queen is still Awesome!!

[nthingtoofear]

It's not about money, its about competition in the end. People feel that he would be threatened by the memory of Freddie Mercury, would some how be overshadowed by him? I don't get it. Everyone should chill out and if you're in the music business you'd recognize just how important having Brian May and Roger Taylor would be. They're in their early 60's with 5-10 years left performing tops. So use their connections and profit greatly. Solo can come later once he's more than an American Idol.

[nemtall]

i'd join Queen.....loudmachinevideo check me out ,,,But Adam Is amazing weather he does or not ,

[MusicLove54]

He doesn't need Queen..... they have had their day.. Adam is far tooooooooo versatile to be saddled with just a "rock" band... This guy can do "anything" and he should.

[seanoreilly111]

how dare you diminish queens versatility, how can adam be too good for them if freddy wasnt, he is the best singer of all time and adam is only #2

[MusicLove54]

WHATEVER!!!!!... LOL... You have your opinion and I have mine..... they don't agree.....

Adam is young and does not need to be with "any" old rock group..... sorry, but I really feel this way..... you can feel anyway you please. ok?..... it's a FREE country.

[lethaldrugged]

he doesn't plan on joining anyway, but he will guest star with them. i think he find it cool (because it's one of his all-time favorite rock bands).

he doesn't sound much like queen, but he isn't as far from it either. i think their styles are kind of similar...it's not because of the age or something. adam is very versatile, and so is queen.

it's a free world, really. you have to watch your words, though.

[MusicLove54]

Beg your pardon...... what words do I need to watcfh?? I don't think I said anything out of line.....

You're right it is a FREE country and I can express myself as long as I don't attack a Poster... right? We all have differences of opinions regarding all Entertainers... one must never get offended over an opinion.

[lethaldrugged]

I love Adam. I love Queen. (and perhaps Queen is not your type) C:

I know it's just an opinion and I don't get offended. But with this phrase "Adam is far tooooooooo versatile to be saddled with just a "rock" band..." you don't intend to degrade Queen or something? It's just my opinion but words are vulnerable to interpretation.

[MusicLove54]

I am agreeing with his interview, He loves Queen, but wants to do his own thing.

I have posted this more than once..... It has been agreed with..... I am not demeaning "any" group. In my opinion, he needs to be a "single" act like Elvis, Michael Jackson etc. He can sing broadway to rock...that is versatile.

[spikedbasser5]

i getcha, but listen to every Queen album in order (i know thisll take a LONG LONG time) just to get a better understanding of them.

[Thecheesemistro]

i agree. queen is an old band. they had their moment. what we need is someone from todays era to be talented. im tired of this hannah montana jobro shit. if adam joins queen, nothing good would come out of it, except a band thats already great to be better. however if he does his own thing, he can revolutionize pop music.

[MusicLove54]

Thank you, I so totally agree... from this enterview, it sounds like he knows what he wants to do.. He can be a single act, like Elvis, Michael Jackson, etc... He is electrifying, sexy, and sooo talented.. he can own the stage.

[lethaldrugged]

i agree with you. (but guesting would be great for queen fans as no one had been as good as freddie to sing the queen's songs). it isn't a good idea to actually "join" because adam has his own thing, and singing queen would just be a morsel of his self-made success. he can kick the shit off earth hannah montana.

[nthingtoofear]

The thing people don't get about queen is that joining them means you still write your own songs. That was the band creedo from day one. You just get one of the best guitarists in history and a hell of a good drummer and all of their experience and connections to go with. "Joining Queen" doesn't mean the end of him solo, Freddie, Brian, and Roger all had successful solo albums too. Hell, 40 years after they started, Queen still gives a better concert than anyone I've seen.

[lethaldrugged]

Adam doesn't sound much like Freddy, but he got the same magic Freddy had. While still in Idol, I sort of thought he can sing with Queen (the one who wouldn't ruin Queen's songs) and all.

I don't think he will actually join Queen as what he said, and the surviving members, May and Taylor (and retired Deacon) don't plan to replace Mercury.

[TomJones246]

what bein gay hahaha

[lethaldrugged]

the music.

[sparkybango]

yea i think he shouldn't join Queen because he will loose some of his younger fans maybe and he won't be as famous

[seanoreilly111]

no way he will just help queen span the magic theyve created another decade, anyone can be a queen fan as long as they have a soul

[Goesforbothbarry]

jjjoining queen-love that french j he's got going there { so hot} I heard it when he sang "Tracks of My Tears" the part where he sings...cuz I make a J.oke or two.

[JavichuSpain]

NOOO! I don't like Adam for Queen, it sounds like Pop.. :S

[4fabiola]

Adam will be great if you perform with queen coupe of times. I loved Freddy Mercury. Never had the chance to see him in person. I will love you to sing with queen you are the only one with the voice and personality to do it.

[iLoveCheerleading51]

you're so great adam <3

[daylightkaty01]

That would be AWESOME!  I am a huge Adam Lambert fan!

[lisette28]

Adam..Toujours tresbeau,witty,humble an gracious to interviewers. Splendide news to here CD will be soon,blende of musique genres..Bravo monamie on future cd, of many music genres.Will buy it an defitmente attende concertes too! Blessings et j'adore always,Lisettexoxo

[ReneeNme]

Queen would be far better off picking up George Michael as their next front man.

As far as Adam Lambert is concerned he can fall off into a ditch like Clay Aiken did. FAIL !!!

[earthboyx]

Ummm. Hey loser girl! Did you hear about him landing a 19 album deal with RCA??? I don't see any failure in that!

[ReneeNme]

Um, Renee is one my girl friends. Secondly, watch how lousy his album sales do.

[chris4446]

In response to earthboyx your the "loser" it's not a 19 album deal you idiot, 19 Records / RCA is the name of the company that signed him. Get your facts straight before you criticise other people.

[earthboyx]

I'm aware of that, you digusting foul retarded inbred broken down haggly girly sister-boy poser! You want to come after me? You may want to re-think your actions before you catch a lot more than you bargained for. Run you scared little pathetic, scum sucking, toe licking worm of a person.

[seanoreilly111]

you sound like a bitch dude, if you wanna take a serious threat on smeone then use more profanity and craziness, you sound like a bitchy englishman. as of right now, id kick your ass

[earthboyx]

WRONG!!! I am a redblooded American man from Atlanta, Georgia. By the way...WHO ARE YOU??

[TheMrMouth]

He realised that he was gona be in Mercurys shadow so its clever that he wants to be on his own and Brian May said that too,they will join for charities and Adam will be great... Adam will be great and he will be like Freddie in hes own way but not like him because Freddie is the best...

[Mozzie2012]

No one can replace Freddie (ESPECIALLY not Paul Rodgers... D:< ) but I think Adam would do an AMAZING job at fronting Queen...Kinda sad it probably won't happen, but when he sang with Queen on the show it looked like Brian May was getting a little verclemped (sp?). :)

[brucebirch79]

Paul is a thousand times the singer this clown will ever be. Queen sounds far better with a soulful ballsy singer like Rodgers.

[brucebirch79]

I honestly think Queen sounds better with Paul. Freddie had a pretty voice, but not the power. The songs sound much more dynamic though maybe not as theatrical. I was a big doubter of him sounding good in Queen, until I heard it, then I was amazed. I also like the versions of the songs better, especially Show must go on.

[mercutio17]

Hah maybe if Paul good sing more than half-ass on ANY of Queens songs.

[Randalyzed]

What would that be in English? Adam might fit as the new Freddie, but Paul outperformed Freddie. The songs rocked and were more powerful and dynamic than "pretty" Then again, Adam fans really don't know what true singing is about.

[mercutio17]

*Could (woops i said good in my comment above) Go listen to some of Queen + Paul Rodgers songs live. Brian and Roger Taylor sing pretty much the same amount as Paul does and they sing better. If you are going to sing Queen you have to be able to sing it in the right octave. And why do you say Adam fans don't know singing.

[kingcata]

yea .. youre right but you must take in consideration the fact that paul rodgers has more experience than adam labert in music... paul was in free band.. a long time ago.. a verry popular band at his time.. you cannot compare adam with paul... adam is at the start.. paul is experienced ... but even paul or at least adam .. never can be compared with freddie... and .. the queen new is a new band.. even if adam joins .. it will not be queen.. but queen and adam.. a new band

[mercutio17]

I do agree with you. The original Queen is gone. Queen + Paul Rodgers was ok, but I just don't think Paul fit, although is still talented at what he sings. And if Queen + Adam Lambert happens, it will be different, and possibly really good or bad. But Randalyzed gave no justification to his comment about Lambert fans not knowing music. But whatever.

[Baritone0]

WHAT!? Paul outperformed Freddie Mercury? You obviously are talking about some other Freddie. I can't believe you even thought that.

[unbefittingthewings]

Adam Lambert is amazing and has a set of lungs any musician could hope for... he is certainly no Freddie when it comes to QUEEN by anymeans, but he is an amazingly gifted singer and you don't know what true singing is about if you fail to recognize that...

[indigoAlice]

Two words: The Shit.

[Ba13ack7Ballack]

ohh nvm, this guy will ruin freddie mercury.

[Ba13ack7Ballack]

OMG! wth

[WickedJonas26]

I LOVE ADAM! He's so great! <3

[dianev]

adam lambert going be so big

[hummarstra]

This is great. All I want is a killer live DVD of Adam murdering (in a good way) all those Queen songs. It'll be awesome.

[ParamoreVzla]

You can tell that the guy making the interview doesn't want Adam to be the next Freddy Mercury lol

I don't want that too.. He will be the next freddy but as a solo artist.. Maybe like Michael Jackson who knows?

[ClydeThePug]

omg i luv how awesome and modest adam is

[lovereignnn]

I know both May and Adam have charities close to their hearts - a few special performances where the concert money raised goes to charity would be really awesome.
