This is blasphemy! Could Adam Lambert Become Queen's New Front Man? http://tv.yahoo.com/contr...6316__ER:1
If you thought Adam Lambert looked like a natural fit with iconic rockers Queen during American Idol's finale, you weren't the only one. Hours after it was announced that Lambert was Season 8's runner-up last week, widespread speculation began circulating that the 26-year-old singer had been offered a job as Queen's new front man. While that's not true yet, guitarist Brian May isn't ruling out the possibility. "Amongst all that furor, there wasn't really a quiet moment to talk. But [drummer Roger Taylor] and I are definitely hoping to have a meaningful conversation with him at some point," May told Rolling Stone. "It's not like we, as Queen, would rush into coalescing with another singer just like that. It isn't that easy. But I'd certainly like to work with Adam. That is one amazing instrument he has there." Queen recently ended a four-year relationship with Paul Rodgers, who was handling the vocal duties for the band. Lambert auditioned for Idol with Queen's "Bohemian Rhapsody" and instantly became a buzzed-about contender for the show's Top 36. His revved-up, glam-rock numbers and hauntingly restrained ballads made him the front-runner all season before ultimately coming up short. While the show has produced more pop artists than rockers, May recognizes that springboard it provides young artists. For now, Lambert must first complete the 50-city tour with his fellow Top 10 members, and the Idol producers, 19 Entertainment, will likely have first dibs on anything Lambert does next. May said whatever happens, he's excited to see what Lambert and Idol winner Kris Allen (who also shared the stage during "We Are the Champions") do next. "Both those boys are well worthy of big success," May said. "So it's pointless for someone like me to stand on the sidelines jeering. I'm confident Adam will make great use of this wonderful opportunity. I hope I'm there to see it." 'A pillow covered in all our tears' | |

He has that kinda voice, not saying that he is ANYTHING like Freddie, because there is no way in HELL, he could come close it him...

I agree, there is no one in Freddy Mercury's league, but for a revival Queen tour, I can think of much much worse.
Adam can sing his ass off and oozes stage presence and charisma. Plus he can bring in a younger crowd. | |

Oh letitgo. He won't do that. Daughtry was offered the lead for Fuel and he turned it down. These guys are in a competition not to find a band looking for a lead singer (like Rock Star: INXS or Rock Star: Supernova). They're in it to win it for themselves. He won't do anything with Queen other than a new single or something....IF that. | |

No, no, no, no, no. • Did you first think Prince was gay? •
Wendy: He’s a girl, for sure, but he’s not gay. He looked at me like a gay woman would look at another woman. Lisa: Totally. He’s like a fancy lesbian. | |

I agree. I agree too. Although doing a tour or something would probably make the guy pretty rich quite quick. | |

He could always replace Scott Stapp as the lead singer to Creed.
I mean, Creed really can't get any worse, and Scott Stapp being out of the picture could only make it better. One can dream. | |

Adam Lambert is not joining Queen. Period.
He was on Larry King Live last night (and Friday, as a two part interview), with the top 10 American Idols from this season. He was asked about Queen. He said he was NOT asked "Will you be the new lead singer for Queen?", but rather "would you come out and do some dates with us from time to time." He said he'd "love to", but with the 50 city Idol tour coming up, he's "not sure how that's going to work out" right now. When asked who had a record contract, as Adam answered he said he couldn't quite reveal what he had yet, but said he wanted to do an album that was very pop and rock, but had a strong electronic edge, and wanted to "do something different than what's out there." It seemed most of the Top 10 had some sort of deal, but couldn't be confirmed yet. At least not until after the tour. Matt Giraud is already conceptualizing the album. Adam said he was talking to producers about writing songs, as well as Matt saying the same thing. So is Adam joining Queen? No. Will he be doing some dates with them as I predicted before? YES. Big deal. Someone has to sing those songs from time to time, and HE'S NOT GOING TO REPLACE FREDDIE MERCURY. No one can do that. Paul Rogers couldn't replace him, nor could George Michael, or anyone else who's sang with Queen and sang Queen songs. But with Adam's vocal range, it'd be more interesting than Paul Rogers was singing them. So let it go already. If you don't want to hear Adam sing those songs, don't watch. Remember, he made it past the first auditions singing "Bohemian Rhapsody". [Edited 5/26/09 9:13am] | |

It would be great to see Adam w/Queen once in a while like he said on Larry King. Adam wants a solo thing right now & he should go for it. He is the hottest contestent ever on AI. When I first saw him on AI, I was hooked and look forward to his huge career. I think he will change the rock scene today, that has needed changing for so long. Today's rock is so boring. Watch out world. It's all about ADAM

Nope, that's not blasphemy, that's show business. | |
