ADAM LAMBERT IN NEGOTIATIONS TO BECOME LEAD SINGER OF QUEEN?

When asked today to comment on this by some Fox reporter, Adam's response:

"I think there was some interest, yeah."

Further pressed if he was in actual negotiations, Adam stated:

"No comment." (Actual qoute: "I plead the fifth.")

There was no denial of the rumor at all....which speaks volumes, at least to me.

Jesus, how freakin' awesome would that be!?! That would mean instant superstardom, and an immediate resurgence for Queen to the biggest rock act/draw on Earth.

Crossing my fingers.

That would be great but keep in mind what happened with INXS. They hired JD Fortune then let him go at an airport before a trip out of country.

This is true, but i'm sure we could all agree that Adam is lightyears more marketable than JD Fortune, and Queen is lightyears bigger as a draw (with Lambert) than INXS ever was, even in their prime.

If they score Lambert, they will be THE rock band for the next 10-15 years, assuming they can all get along and play nice, and write good new music.

I loved JD but love Adam more so I would agree... as for the bands - loved them both for different reasons - different times...

Thanks for the vids.

KISS was so badass when I was 9 years old . . . and they still are to me! It's ironic because they wear makeup, but they've always had a "genuineness" to me that a lot of groups don't have.

I agree Lambert fit in well with Queen (not so much with KISS, imo), and would be good for Queen, but would they be good for him? Because (1) Freddy Mercury's shoes could never be filled, and (2) as great as Queen was, is it not better for him to not hook up with a group so old, but instead blaze (pun intended) a trail that is completely his own?

That was really funny....

She was thrown for a loop when Kara came out.

Watch Kara again in slow-mo- she was looking a bit skeletal.

I'd hit it.

I think Lambert joining Queen would be a horrible move for him. It would cement him into the retro 80's rock guy mold. I would have no problem with him joining them for a one time world tour or something, that would be cool, but to join and then have Queen try to put out new albums?

Won't work. Queen was Queen because of Freddie. Lambert is not Freddie. He shouldn't try to be Freddie, he should do his own thing. Being stuck in front of some 60 year old guys and singing Fat Bottomed Girls isn't the way to build a career.

If I were Lambert, I'd pass...unless it was just a one time tour.

funny moment when Adam was stumped when asked about working with bikini girl.

I'd love to see Adam fronting for Queen, but (there's always a but) who is the creative talent behind the group? If Freddy Mercury were the creative genius as well as the vocal talent, Adam's vocal talent alone won't move the band into new territory.

[12own911]

Adam is also creative so it would be okay... of course I believe Adam can create his own band and rock the place...

Adam has not accepted the offer Kim, so i'm guessing he feels the same way you do.

He is one brave SOB, in his shoes i'd have accepted the Queen offer immediately.

Queen confirms it's interest in Lambert:

LOS ANGELES, May 23 (UPI) -- Guitarist Brian May says his British rock group, Queen, is interested in having "American Idol" star Adam Lambert as its lead singer.


The Los Angeles Times, citing a Rolling Stone magazine interview with May, said Friday the Queen rocker unsuccessfully attempted to speak with Lambert during the season finale of the U.S. TV series this week.

"Amongst all that furor, there wasn't really a quiet moment to talk," May said of Wednesday's "Idol" finale, which Lambert lost to fellow contestant Kris Allen. "But (drummer Roger Taylor) and I are definitely hoping to have a meaningful conversation with him at some point."

But May did add his group, known for hits such as "Bohemian Rhapsody" and "Radio Ga Ga," would take its time finding a singer.

"It's not like we, as Queen, would rush into coalescing with another singer just like that. It isn't that easy," said the Queen guitarist, whose group's original lead singer Freddie Mercury died in 1991. "But I'd certainly like to work with Adam. That is one amazing instrument he has there."
