Queen+ Adam Lambert Pt 2

 Quick thought: Since Adam has said "he's filling in for this god", wouldn't that make him a rock god himself? Anyone good enough to be the FRONT MAN OF QUEEN has to have something special!

They talk about how he's not Freddie, but Mercury himself wouldn't want a cheap impersonator. As Roger Taylor said in the doc, "good luck on the cruise ship," with regards to those who think an imitation would
