tootheatrical @adamlambert Is there ANY other pop star who has Elton John as an opening act, Queen as a back up band & a whole freaking city as an audience
Like most first concerts, there was a few problems, including Adam's mic being turned down too low when he first came on stage, but it ended up being a great concert. It was so wonderful hearing those songs again and watching the crowd sing alone. Adam was so ready for this and you could see on his face, he was loving it and enjoying giving his voice to some phenomenal songs. Adam was so confident and I think the total support he got from Brian and Roger, gave him that extra "something" to shine on the Queen stage.
As for some Queen fans not liking the Adam's performance, that's all subjective, just it would be for any other artist stepping in as a frontman. No one is going to replace Freddie and people like Adam realize that and they don't even try to do that. He just did himself and showed respect to the music and to Queen/Freddie. I was one of those fans who were happy to hear the music again and enjoy watching how much fun Brian and Roger were having. Plus the chemistry between Adam and the dynamic duo was wonderful and the smiles on their faces, said it all. It wasn't a perfect concert and Freddie wasn't there, but it was still a magical night with Sir Elton, Queen and Adam Lambert in concert together. I have to say Elton John was phenomenal, that man can still kick some ass on stage. No lip syncing, just him singing his hit songs in his own voice and showing what a true artist do on stage.
JeniChua I'd like 2 give a hearty F*ck You 2 any1 who can't get in2 this! @adamlambert wailin n struttin his guts out! #KILLED http://youtu.be/r-AU8ZKDVu4
Francess40 Today, in Kieve, @Adam Lambert ushered Queen back like a phoenix from ashes. Heartwarming, mindblowing concert. Fierce. Soulful. BEAUTIFUL!
marclebeau1 Okay.... @adamlambert is more Freddie-like than Rodgers. It was a really great concert to watch. He did a great job. I look forward to DVD.
amylreid83 @adamlambert One of my friends is a HUGE Queen fan & after he watched the show, he told me that nobody can replace FM but you come pretty damn close to it!! He was totally AMAZED by your IMMACULATE (was the word he used) vocals and your AMAZING stage presence!! One other thing he mentioned was that @QueenWillRock knows amazing freaking talent when they see it!!! He was so proud of you that he said he is even going out to purchase multiple copies of Trespassing to give to his friends!! (*-*)/

Antiaidsmaidan @adamlambert Thanks Adam for such an amazing show...! Thanks for supporting Ukraine without AIDS! waiting for your next show! #antiadsmaidan
Adam Lambert kicked off his summer tour as the frontman for the legendary rock band Queen last night (June 30) with a performance in front of hundreds of thousands in Kiev, Ukraine.
Considering the enormity of the task he faced — filling in for the one and only Freddie Mercury for a complete concert set for the first time — Adam really did an impressive job. He commanded the stage like a seasoned pro and rocked some of Queen’s most enduring classics, like “Under Pressure,” “Another One Bites The Dust,” “Radio GaGa,” “Somebody To Love,” “The Show Must Go On,” “Bohemian Rhapsody” (a sort of duet with old footage of Freddie), “We Will Rock You,” and “We Are The Champions.”
It’s easy to see why Brian May and Roger Taylor of Queen are so fond of Adam. He really did Freddie proud, all while showing off those royal pipes that are so signature Glambert.
Homophobia is very bad in the Ukraine according to this Guardian article by Elton John. He wrote this today, and stated that some people may not have wanted him there performing last night.
dgoodno1 just saw a few videos of Adam Lambert fronting Queen, if Roger Taylor and Brian May don't sign him for a full tour, they've lost their minds

SophiaStrange I am sure that if Freddie Mercury was alive, he would be honoured to have Adam Lambert sing his songs.
Jenya_Burlaka @adamlambert You're the best! Thank you for the concert in Kiev! I love you! Please come with a solo concert in Kiev!

ShockUhDeliCA So evidently, ESPN mentioned Adam performing with Queen. Need vid or clip. Or sumthin.
wayt @pfreet Adam Lambert is the only human who could take Freddie's place. Two thumbs up.
