‘I’m just excited to pay respect’: Adam Lambert fires back at purists who q

And this one is just for Miss Reclusive. Don't watch if you hate AL but, who knows, there might be someone who is not familiar with him and is curious.

Just ignore her. She'll go away. Wait. Who said that?

I pity those who didn't bother to see the QPR tour out of "principle". It's probably the best thing Brian and Roger have done since 1995.[/QUOTE]
Exactly my words!

"You know Adam doesn't snort powder, right?"

Keep telling yourself that. Somewhere right now, he's introducing himself to a seated circle of contrite ex-reality show contestants and admitting that he has a problem.

It's the first step in a long road to recovery, eventual relapse, and inevitable decline.

My opposition to this man singing for Queen has nothing to do with being a "Queen Purist", I enjoyed the Paul Rodgers experiment. Well, except for the album...

I disagree. Times are different. People, celebrities included, are a lot more health conscious.

Absolutely, if you look at most modern entertainers - like the actors from Glee - they show a kind of restraint and discipline in their celebrity lifestyles that puts the older generation to shame.

I didn't say ALL. That Glee actor had a known addiction problem. Adam does not. By the way, tune in to Glee this season as Adam will have a recurring role!!! Check out his awesome acting skills as evidenced by his appearance last year on Pretty Little Liars. I bet even Freddie couldn't sing this well with fangs in. And lest you think he can't sing live with fangs, check out this full benefit concert Adam did while wearing fangs. There is no LIMIT to this guy's talent I tell ya! And did Robert Plant ever sing WLL with fangs in? Hell, no. Oh, s***, I inadvertently turned this into the "Adam Lambert with Fangs" topic. Just delete me.

He's excited to pay respect, good God if he's wants to pay respect he should shut his mouth and stop butchering Queen songs!

"I bet even Freddie couldn't sing this well with fangs in"

Well his were bigger. And they were real. And, he sounded better.

Perfect! I totally agree.

SWLA, if you want to hear a truly spectacular voice, check this out... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OWvU7A2uURI
Now how does AL even compare with that? Fangs or no fangs.

OK. I listened objectively. Don't like the song. I've never been into that kind of rock music. I prefer more theatrical pop like Madonna, Prince, etc. Although Freddie is one of the greatest talents of all times, I do not like his voice in that song. I much prefer AL's voice.

I guess then AL is not a good fit for Queen, especially their heavier songs like Tie your mother down, Hammer to fall, Liar, Tear it up, etc...? He should stick to pop songs.

Well, you are probably right. Hardcore Queen fans are used to a heavier, more guttural rock voice. Adam shines on the ballad-like songs like WWTLF. But I think between Adam's showmanship and his vocal talent, he puts on a great show with Queen that thoroughly entertains anyone who goes to the concerts. And that is what show biz is all about, entertaining the audience, not bringing Freddie back to life.
