Not as bad as i feard after hearing hs mtv thing.
he did quite well, more my taste than Paul Rodgers voice, not that i am mad about Adams' voice, far from it, but it is infact more fitting for Queen songs.
And there are not many options when looking for people to attempt to sing Queen
The video i saw of the full show was very enjoyable
almost a spiritual experience,moving me to guilt at the things i have said to Brian And Roger about the SBC lunacy, only because i feel so strongly about Queen and Freddie,
and i am right and will never change my mind on that!!!
STOP IT NOW!!!GET KAPONE!
It was at times very funny also.
i posted more on that in poll thread.

Do NOT like Adam Lambert rubbing shoulders with Taylor and May, he is not worthy of been 100 miles from these rock gods. He just got lucky some how, cos hes just a wanna be.
i wish Brian and Rog would stop fetching little people on to the satge with them.
why cant Brian and Roger, make an album by themselves and record there fav songs over the last 50 years, instead of wasting time with that arrogant yank Lambert.
No one is more worthy than Freddie to be Queens lead singer. i will NEVER buy anything with lamberts silly voice on it. Come on Queen fans, if you love Fred as much as i do,
then reject lambert like a kidney patient getting a new kidney! Gerald Gillies, Hartlepool.

[[/QUOTE] A cabaret show, not a rock show. But maybe that's what "Queen+" are these days -- a cabaret/karaoke act. It's hard to believe these are the same people who music such as March of the Black Queen, Bo Rap, It's Late, Save Me and It's A Hard Life. Their creative instincts have dulled and their musical judgement is impaired. Musical zimmer frames will soon be needed.[/QUOTE]
Ah yes, I am growing tired of all things AL. Thanks Adam for your post, it's very well written. Early Queen had Freddie influence, without it, they have certainly gone in other musical directions. Freddie most likely would have applauded this because he too ran from A to Z. People grow older and change, yes, change is the one thing we can all count on. I'm just happy we have the early stuff.

lol, thanks for this! However, there is love here for Brian and Roger too so I have tried to wrap my brain/ears/heart around the entire AL thing. I just cant do it. If they have to have a little person on stage with them, Martel is a better fit. For one thing, he wont upstage Brian and Roger, they would shine far more than they do with AL. I guess Martels christian following isn't as big as AL's but, they would probably be polite when defending him. heh

A perfect critique!

I watched the show, watched Adam warbling and trilling, and sorry, but I had to just go back to the REAL Queen clips! Wow! What a difference! The Russia show had all the bells and whistles, but what it lacked was a REAL rock star! Freddie Mercury! He made Queen songs come alive with his raw power! And John Deacon who was just perfect on bass. Brain and Roger were a treat to watch, but the Queen sound is just not right with anybody other than the 4 original Queens. Nothing against Adam Lambert, but he is just not a rock singer.

Adam Lambert is just too shirl and the never ending vibrato becomes very tiresome. The Gamberts fans have raised the guy to demigod status and I feel he will never really have much power in his voice.
I just saw the QE show in Vancouver and it was polished, powerful and a ton of fun. I hate to say this but there is no replacement for youth and energy. Brian May looked tired at both the Keiv and Moscow shows. Marc Martel has a much cleaner voice and he would not offend hard core queen fans and would always be humble. I really wish they would give him a chance sometime somewhere. His rendition of LOML live is something to behold, I looked around the crowd and almost everyone had tears in their eyes.

[/i]No, Brian and Roger just don't want to take part in their own tribute band with an imitation FM. They have both been enthusiastic about AL since they first worked with him on Idol, and continue to be so.

Someone said Adam is as good as George Michael? Let me think on that...ok, no.
Bad Seed · Member since
Ah the classic George Michael joke. It's not quite as funny as it was so I'm going to bring it into the 21st century. Off to a Dio forum to suggest they consider Will Young as their new singer.

I like whats been seen so far. Getting more comfortable together. Adam keep going for it!
Would like to see Adam take on TYMD as well.
This time next week I'll be there and can feel the energy already. Love hearing the crowds singing along and their energy. Soon will be there too!

The worst songs were Dont Stop Me.Somebody To Love and Dragon Attack.To be honest i think Brian and Roger are very rusty and the spark that they had is gone.I am not at all excited to be seeing them next week.Hope to be proved wrong.

Ah but that is exactly what they are doing, taking part in their own tribute band and not only that, with a lead singer who can't do most of the songs justice. Marc Martel is not an imitation FM. He brings his own to it. Gary whats-his-name is an imitation FM. We all have our own opinions, I never liked Celine Dion or Whitney Houston, and even they can/could sing better than AL and with more control. Who wants to hear all Queen songs by someone so high and shrill with too much vibrato? I don't know why I keep putting my 2 cents in here, addictive I guess. Someone ban ME from this board!
