Adam Lambert: No talk of U.S. Queen dates

[b]Vocal harmony wrote: [/b] Gregsynth . I didn't say anything about people being allowed to sing. I quoted what you said, that Freddie is the only person who can sing We are The Champions. Don't miss quote me in order to make your answer seem to hold any weight.

One more thing, Adam Lambert is not my boy, I'm not an Adam Lambert fan. Your limited view of this subject means you can't create a balance between an original performance and what another person can bring.

I've seen your boy Mercury screw up . But you would never accept that would you.[/QUOTE]

Freddie IS the only person who can TRULY sing the song (since it's his song). That's what I meant in my original post. If you ask any person out on the street about We Are The Champions, they will cite Freddie Mercury as the person who sang it. Not Adam Lambert, or Paul Rodgers, or the WWRY cast. Like Bohemian Rhapsody: Can anybody BUT Freddie Mercury truly deliver that song in the way he sang it? No. Many can hit the notes, many singers have better technique than Freddie, but he's the man that set the standard for the song. 

Sorry, for labeling you as a Lambert fan when you're not (I read your post on page two).

Lambert SUCKED on ALL of his covers of Queen: Maybe he'll nail them this year at Knebworth/Moscow, but since I've heard (with objective ears mind you) his previous covers, I'm a bit worried.

I'd suggest you take a look at my channel on Youtube (Gregsynthbootlegs). You think I'm not aware of Freddie's bad performances live? You think I'm a stepford fan when it comes to Freddie's live work? No, I can tell you EXACTLY what's wrong with his live performances when asked. So pulling out that strawman argument of "limited views" and not accepting "my boy Freddie messing up" really falls flat.

There's an old quote something about convince a man against his will, and he will be more stubborn still. I think it means 98% of the people at Queenzone know SFA about debating and listening to facts and reason. Freddie's dead? Agreed. Freddie can't be Queen frontman? Agreed as he's dead. Adam Lambert hits wrong notes? You are a f***ing close minded homophobe who lives in the past so get over it 'cos Freddie's dead and he ain't coming back.


I find it funny to be honest, the lack of knowledge about bands and music in general from some people here. No disrespect to someoonewholovesadam, but total disrespect for anyone who loves Adam as a viable replacement, one off or not, for Freddie Mercury. David Lee Roth is the next best frontman to Freddie, why can't they tour with him? (He can't sing, that's why.) But, his physical histrionics are comparable to Adam's vocal histrionics, and they are both whooly unsuitable for what's left of Queen, which isn't really Queen but I'll pretend it is.


Finally, despite his warbly vibrato and inability to hold a note, I feel very sorry for Adam Lambert. He is being used by Brian and Roger to help Queen sell more Greatest Hits albums to the 20 and under crowd, and it will kill his career. Freddie is irreplaceable, who in QZ, apart from Michael Allred :) will be purchasing an Adam Lambert album or track? His music suuuuccccccckkkkkkks that it's unfair to call it music compared to Queen music so he can't win. They're asking him to be a salesman to benefit them, and I would imagine that it will pretty much kill his career.

What is it that Adam Lambert fans and the music industry is seeing that Queen fans are not?

Greg, why is Adam hitting these wrong notes? Is it a lack of concentration due to nerves, like a distraction from the audience, or is it lack of practice or fatigue or something else? Lack of experience on stage? I am wondering how he can hit most of the notes but not all of the notes. And when he records do you think he uses autotune?

He is talented. He is a good singer. He has a wonderful range. There is no disputing that. He is just not even close to be worthy of singing with Queen.

"What is it that Adam Lambert fans and the music industry is seeing"

My guess : the opportunity to turn a quick buck from a very loyal, vocal and dedicated minority of people who think he's a superstar.

What makes one "worthy" of singing with Queen?

Bona fides.

Oh god

I read so stupid answers

I don't think it's from a lack of experience  (he's been singing and performing since he was a kid). I think it's a combination of not having the greatest relative pitch (which explains the random off notes in performances), and having an uncontrolled vibrato (which often makes him go off key when he uses it).

As for the autotune, I don't believe he uses it. He said in an interview back in 2010 that Autotune "wasn't for him."

Thank you for answering my questions. I watched one of his live songs and he could hear that he had just hit the wrong note and his hand went up to his ear.

Adam Lambert doesn't use autotune

The person who said Brian and Rodger are using him to draw the 20 something and under crowd makes sense as to why they'd consider having him sing with them. He's enjoying his day in the sun. This guy isn't even worth the time and energy expended on. Nobody's going to remember the washed up drag queen down the line, never mind any association with Queen.

Well, i enjoyed the 2 concerts i have seen with Paul Rogers.

We are the champions is for sure not the one song i play from 'return of the champions' Thats is just awfull.

I hope Adam can deliver those songs Paul for sure not could. He can sing. Play the game, Save me, Spread your wings are some of the songs Adam can deliver for sure better then Paul. So i give him a change.

The occasions with Roger and Brian werent lucky, but i recall the first concerts with Paul.. The critics there werent that good either. Paul improved. Lets hope Adam learned from his 'mistakes'and they get 2 great concerts:)
