So, yeah. I’m a Glambert. I even paid the membership fee to be a part of his official fan club. All of this since late June. Of this year. 2020.

I had heard of Adam before. Being a Queen fan, I knew that he was currently the lead singer for the band when they went on tour. But I was very skeptical that anyone could do the music justice. Freddie had such a unique voice and performing style and it’s hard to bring that to the stage in just one person. I remember hearing Paul Rogers perform a song with Queen back in the 2000s and going, “Nope!” So when Adam and Brian and Roger were on The Late Late Show with James Corden back in 2017, I remember completely agreeing with James in his little lead-up…until I heard Adam sing and watched him perform with the guys. I wasn’t convinced, but I was willing to give him a shot.

Front Man Battle w/ Queen + Adam Lambert

But I didn’t feel the need to go on YouTube and see them performing. I did look Adam up on Wikipedia and was shocked. Someone my age-ish who got their start on American Idol of all places? I had my doubts that he worked that well with Queen.

In June, the documentary The Show Must Go On: The Queen + Adam Lambert Story came to Netflix. Being a Queen fan, I immediately jumped at the chance to watch it. I also figured it would give me a good introduction to this Adam Lambert guy. I went in a Queen fan. I finished it a Queen + Adam Lambert fan interested in his solo stuff.
