It was the battle of the Queen frontmen on The Late Late Show Thursday night. Well, one was a Queen frontman, the other was a talk show personality with Broadway experience.
Adam Lambert, whoâs preparing for Queenâs summer tour of North America, surprised the audience when host James Corden suggested he would make a better lead singer for the iconic band. What ensued was a sing-off of Queen hits, much like Cordenâs recent Broadway face-off with Neil Patrick Harris.
Lambert started things off with another surprise â his Queen bandmates rolled out on stage to perform âWe Will Rock You.â Corden fired back, âThat was amateur hour,â before flipping the Grammy winner the bird during âDonât Stop Me Now.
By the end of âCrazy Little Thing Called Loveâ and âAnother One Bites the Dust,â a teary-eyed Corden conceded Lambert to be the better Queen frontman. At least he closed on a high note with a duet of âSomebody to Love.â
