Interview: Queen and Adam Lambert - 6 November 2011

Brian May, Roger Taylor and Adam Lambert were interviewed for BBC News after they had performed together at the MTV EMA Awards 2011 and Queen picked up the prestigeous Global Icon Award. Roger was delighted to still be around when many of their friends were not. Adam was asked what was it like performing with Queen earlier that evening, and Brian was asked for his thoughts why Queen music had endured for so long

"wow, what a voice, one in a hundred million"..... coming from Queen, there's nothing to explain. All you Adam-haters, listen to what the icons had to say about Adam and shut up!!!!

Love the interview! So humble and down to earth. Maybe that's exactly how a person reacts - after some 40 yrs of pure greatness!!!

Amazing live performance at EMA 2011; loved every second of it. Adam was able to deliver a great rendition of Freddie's stage presence. Lucky & talented singer. You do need guts (and pipes) to perform on the same stage with Queen!!!

I think Adam Lambert would fit perfectly with Queen! He is flamboyant and vocal wise similiar to Freddie Mercury!

@ArquestQ

You're absolutely right

[ArquestQ]

I don't know if you're aware of the fact that Roger is deaf, so everything he says about Lambert is just his imagination!

New fag replacing old fag !

I would like to hear what Paul Rodgers thinks of this ???

I don't think he is jealous or something like that, but i'm sure he isn't happy with this horrible choice.

Personally i'm disappointed why Brian & Roger chose this prick instead of somebody who is really a rock singer (not has to be old) a young real rock singer not this fag.

I always admired Brian, he's really a guitar legend

Brians very well spoken

The White Queen (Goddess) legend involves gay/bi people bringing back Love into all people's lives, because they have a special independence wired into the subconscious. When people understand that the being in front of you has their own feelings and spirit, regardless of what their image represents to you, they learn to love.

@beauty8116 sorry for the double comment, it didn't show up the first time and said "error". (Of our ways... lol!)

[slendersail]

@beauty8116 They have been through a process in their own lives, they are human beings & nothing good can come out of blaming anybody. You totally miss the point if you jump just because of your own projections of "sacrality". Life is so much more than the linear bits and pieces you see, open your eyes. Are younger people not allowed to relate to the living spirit of Queen anymore, just because it was different in your day? Should we all be incapable of evolution? Cash & fame are kids' games.

[slendersail]

@beauty8116 If you do that, you'll totally miss the point and project way too much importance on things. Seriously, can you not relate to the fact that these people have real emotions and have gone through a process of transformation in their own lives, thinking about all these things that you accuse them of? Just because your interpretation of sacrality is one and it gets contradicted, it doesn't mean "nothing is sacred anymore". You just don't see what's going on behind the linear.
