He recalls that something about the song just hit him at that particular moment and he was struck by its lyrics saying there’s an eclipse in your eye where I used to shine.
Lambert also praised Robyn for being such a great songwriter.
The “American Idol” alum also talked about John Lennon’s very popular ballad “Imagine,” which he says would be the song he would like to be played in his funeral.
He said that there is something very sentimental about “Imagine” with its melancholy but not too full-on. He added that there is something kind of greater than everyone about the song.
Meanwhile, the Queen + Adam Lambert made their UK festival debut recently at the Isle of Wight Festival. The last time that Queen, the rock band, performed in the UK was 46 years ago when Freddie Mercury was still the group’s lead vocalist.
Hardcore Queen fans of yore can argue that it’s no longer Queen but a new iteration of the group featuring guitarist Brian May and drummer Roger Taylor along with successful solo artist Adam Lambert.
Some critics also think that the new iteration of Queen is like very good karaoke featuring Adam Lambert in a series of bonker outfits that it felt like it was watching Queen doing the West End musical “We Will Rock You” and quite far off from the Live Aid-slaying Wembley Stadium-filling Queen of the mid 1980s.
Good article but why did we need the last two paragraphs???? If you’re doing a negative at least give a positive with it. Millions of Queen fans love and accept Adam for giving new life to such memorable songs.
Welcome To The Show Official Video is so beautifully done! This is the Adam Lambert the Glamberts have known for 7 years, and the one everyone else in the world needs to get to know! He is so honest and humble. Adam has touched my heart in so many different ways!
Adam was on Idol seven years ago. Time to drop the “runner up” and “openly gay” descriptives and describe him relative to his third cd “The Original High”, international hit “Ghost Town”, Queen frontman for their world tour and new judge on Australian X Factor. And yes, by the way I attended two Queen + Adam concerts in Canada in the summer of 2014 during their North American tour and they were simply sublime.
This video gets Adam’s message across in a simple, straightforward way, beautifully filmed & sung with his ever pleasing voice. He’s known for his realness & honesty & it comes thru’ in this video as it does in his many interviews & performances.
