Adam Lambert is just terrible, period

Tandy, Tandy ... was it the girl who used to repeat oh I'm falling in love for the whole song ?[/QUOTE]

Oh, yeah! :-)

 think he's doing quite a good job. his voice imho. suits better than paul's ever did.
i can understand all the moaners out here for accepting nobody at all interpreting freddie's (and queen's) legacy.
no fred, no john= no queen. understood.

but it's great to see the other guys doing their stuff in a nice kind of way - and having fun playing their music!
. new treatments of some songs and a singer who is quite able to sing most of the catalogue.

what's to wish for ?
maybe some renditions of song's that haven't been played before. sure.

i cannot stand your complains...
if you don't like it, just don't listen to it.

bottom line.

[/i][/b]I mostly much agree with what you said, but people who inhabit forums like this are not the ones who [i]just don't listen to it[/i], they are the ones who are opinionated and scrappy and will not go quietly. After all you are here reading the posts, and cannot be silent either. If you don't like them then just don't read them!  :oD

paul rodgers was so different to freddie but is a great singer, lambert is just a cunt.

Amen to what someonewholikesAdam said. Audio from gigs can be very deceptive. I have heard him perform live many times...flawlessly. Unless you have heard the guy perform Live, you know not of what you speak. : )

I listened to most of the TV broadcast and Adam was flat and off-key the whole show. He uses his vibratto to hover around the right note, then land on it. A great singer can hit the note without using that technique.

Add to that his annoying over-reaching of high notes and it's pretty much unlistenable.

His "I'm a rock star - growl" serious look is pretty funny but it is good to see a flamboyant frontman with Queen.

Too bad the voice is such a terrible, terrible match for Queen - on what was otherwise a great show. I love the stage design (mini pizza oven!), the setlist and I'm really happy about Rufus joining the band.

That's absolutely ridiculous. In fact, recorded audio from gigs is a "better" gauge of individual performance than attending in person.

When you are live in the audience, you have distraction factors like the acoustics, extreme volume, placement of the speakers compared to your location, fans singing along and your enthusiasm often makes bands and singers seem better than they are.

It's sometimes interesting to listen to a performance recording after attending the show to get another view of the performance.

The ONLY person I could even listen to perform with brian and roger is George Michael. He did wonderful at Freddie Tribute concert and actually was friends with Freddie, so it would be more respectful.[/QUOTE]

George Michael owned the day, but let's face it, that was 20 years ago. I don't know that he could still do it today.

If I'm reaching back to grab a new singer, I'm taking Gary Cherone. Extreme is still together and I bet he still has the pipes.

Good shout, Rubbersuit. Gary Cherone would be fantastic, not the best singer in the world by a long way, but a guy who loves Queen and would do a great job in my opinion. The medley at the Freddie tribute, was fantastic.
Glambert has no emotion or feeling in his voice, whatsoever. He may be able to hit all the notes, but him getting there just sounds awful. If Brian and Roger wanted to pull this off, may I suggest they use Autotune and turn the ignore vibrato button on. Then at least it may be listenable. But for me, the guy is a joke.
Also how people can slag off Paul Rodgers is beyond me, IMO, he has the best live voice I have ever heard.

P.S. Great point well put, Russian Headlong, haha. I couldn't agree more.

Paul Rodgers is aids.

I don't think Marc Martel is boring, he has class and made those concerts great as did JSS and Yvan.

What the heck do you mean by that?? BTW Paul Rodgers is one of the best rock voices ever and still alive today after being in the business almost 45 years.
I can't stand Lambert looks, voice, etc. I would still be at the show tonight to see brian and roger..it won't be long until they stop performing and then we will only have the the much awaited box sets and other recordings that people want vs seeing Brian or Roger play live whether it be for Queen, solo, or one offs is beyond me...it's only my opinion.

Fans of Lambert still talk about his "great vibrato"... Sorry, but when I listen to his singing, I get a feeling he actually uses vibrator...[/QUOTE]

or that he forgets to turn it off before going to main stage every fucking time.

*ducks and covers*

Even Youtube is sending us a hidden message that it's bullshit. It's not even interesting as a curiosity anymore. Enough of this Queen + crap, please. In the first time(s) it happened, people were worried that it could be the last chance to see Brian and Roger performing these songs (one of the biggest excuses I've seen to support it, I guess)... it was proven that it's not and won't be. If they can, they will still be finding replacements to continue with this Queen + franchise. Soon they will have their own reality show to pick up a new singer (oooops... wait a minute... nevermind)

Couldn't agree with you more. Marc Martel has more class in his lil finger than Adam Lambert could ever have and he can actually sing without sounding like a stressed goat! Oh my, is this really me? I don't normally sling mud however, I'm so so sick of Lambert and the fans who know so little of what Queen was about. Like I said, they probably never hear much beyond WATC, WWRY, ABTD or BoRhap.

I´m so glad living in Germany.

No one here heard or knows about the tour dates in Sibiria/UK this summer.

No one even knows Adam Lambert ("Adam Lambert? Isn´t he the right defender of Exeter City????")

But it´s so sad knowing they´re still going on killing the name and reputation of Queen....
