This Tuesday, Adam Lambert began his short tour with Queen in at Independence Square in Kiev, Ukraine. Among the songs was the Queen classic, “Bohemian Rhapsody.” While nobody can replace the great singer Freddie Mercury, Lambert has the singing chops to pull off the songs. I am glad that Queen can still tour with a worthy front man, although some may complain that Lambert got his start as a runner up on the reality TV show American Idol. The performance remains a tribute to Mercury, though, as his voice and images appear during the performance, haunting the song and making us miss him even more.
Should Queen have stopped touring or do you agree they were right to go on with Adam Lambert? Leave your two cents in the comments.

I think Brian and Roger should keep touring and making music as long as they want to, Why ever not?
And everyone agrees that if we could have Freddie back then we would, and that would be fantastic, but as we can’t have Freddie, Adam is the best person to sing these songs and do them Justice, Keeping Freddies memory alive.
To say he is no good because he was on American Idol is throwing the baby out with the bathwater, he was a talented artist before he went on that show, and he is still a talented artist. AI didn’t just somehow suck all the talent out of him.
I agree. I imagine that the more they tour, the more young people will continue to discover their music, and that is a good thing. Thanks for the comment!
