DRAGON ATTACK CHALLENGE

Sexaay! Seriously. He is about as boring as listening to paint dry. That being said, the guitar is phenomenal.

btw, which concert is the DA with Freddie?

I think one difference between me and some of you is I prefer to experience entertainment for all the senses. I like to hear great singing and see someone who is nice to look at and who actually entertains.

Lambert's face should know.

If Rogers is like watching paint dry ... AL is an all out visual assault.

That Dragon Attack is a rock song and not a cheesy cabaret song. I thought I explained that already.

"miss" is off the mark too.

I don't really mind AL. I saw him with Queen last summer (and he did an okay job). But watching that video of him here, then watching the video of Freddie singing it afterwards, it kinda leaves him looking extra lame.

I understand perfectly that I do not know everything. I just don't like AL, listening or watching...not entertaining to me at all. Not sure what mark I missed....lol

Actually, I just don't understand the whole point of this exercise.. why should I waste my time looking for covers of DA when I can spend that time listening to the original! The perfect original!

I think I could manage better than Adam, sadly enough (I'm not a terrible singer, although off the top of my head I doubt I have the range for this song). Sure, he hits all the notes, but completely misses the mark stylistically and tone wise in my book. I haven't been bothered to seek out a better cover version, because I honestly doubt I'd have much luck finding a good one. It also doesn't help that it's so hard to define what makes a 'good' cover in the first place.

But that is part of what makes Adam unique. When he covers a song, he doesn't mimic the original version. Rather, he puts his own spin and interpretation on it. Take his Ring of Fire cover on American Idol as an example. And today he just finished his sold-out solo concert in Finland where he easily sold out the 13,000-seat venue. He must be doing something right. And he's cheesy, sleazy, sexy, wears lots makeup, and he is fabulous. and, yes, most of my posts end up with posting youtubes of adam :)

But that is part of what makes Bieber/Britney/Nicki etc unique. When s/he covers a song, s/he doesn't mimic the original version. Rather, s/he puts his/her own spin and interpretation on it.

And today s/he just finished his/her sold-out solo concert in [insert venue] where s/he easily sold out the venue. S/he must be doing something right.

And s/he's cheesy, sleazy, sexy, wears lots makeup, and is fabulous!

Or, in other words, being popular with the masses, housewives, teens etc doesn't equate to artistic skill. These people are doing something right, they're exploiting their limited ability to the max. Good for them, but that doesn't qualify them, or indeed Mssr. Camembert, to sing lead vocals for Queen, one of the 20th century's greatest rock bands. So, please, pipe down would you?

And you would be in a better place to judge who should sing with Queen than Brian and Roger. Because you are MISS HOLLY. Now, pipe down, would ya :)

Ah the "ignoring everything he says" approach to discussion. Well done sir.
