    Good but not Great!!

    No one can replace Freddie and it's a good thing that queen never tried to. It's two great stories in itself merged into one. You could easily have a film of life after Freddie as well as a story of just Adam Lambert. To see a lot of behind the scenes information was pretty wonderful to see. There's a lot that you will find out from Adam Lambert and queen. A lot of this can be said to be influenced by success of the movie Bohemian Rhapsody and you can tell that this piggy backs on that success. Good overall but it felt like it dragged on a bit more in one area when there was so much more that it could have covered.

    I was wrong.

    Never heard Adam Lambert sing before this documentary. Who can replace Freddie? A guy off some talent show? Please.... Boy was I wrong. He's just what Queen needed. A very clever addition from Taylor and May. Lambert has the goods. I hope he gets the success he deserves. Great documentary.

    We miss you Freddie

    Excellent movie about Queen and Adam Lambert coming together, it's like a marriage made in Heaven, I also liked that they pulled off interviews with Freddie Mercury before though John the bassist was not in the documentary whatsoever but that is his personal choice given his retirement.,

    anyways, I never thought I would say this but I enjoy Queen being fronted by Adam though my HEART and my SOUL always think of Freddie as an irreplaceable frontman!!

    Phenomenal Collaboration

    The planets aligned when Adam sang with Queen at the American Idol finale. It is truly a collaboration that was meant to be. Nine years later and they are still rocking the world together. Adam brings his own brand of talent, showmanship, and charisma. He is not an imitator. Brian May and Roger Taylor have said many times they would not be touring if it wasn't for Adam. I've seen them many times in both NY and LA. Hoping they will tour the US again. I wouldn't miss it for the world!

    The documentary was very nice

    Iove the whole idead of the documentary being made just to show how much people don't know that Queen and Adam Lambert didn't came from thin air. They have worked hard to get here. As an Adam Lambert fan for 3 years i never had heard Queen because i was born in 1999 and outside US. Even my parents didn't knew them. Their music would've been completely unknown to me if it wasn't for Adam Lambert joining and creating magic with the greatest guitarist and amazing drummer of an iconic band. People still hates on Adam but i thoroughly believe if Adam wasn't there working hard to give the feels of the amazing queen catalogue of songs we the new generation and future ones would've never get that essence. Adam Lambert is the greatest singer in the world
