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

e-man, you start of by saying his cover of Whole Lotta Love is very good. Then you say he has a very weak rock voice. First time I've ever heard of someone doing a good cover of Whole Lotta Love with a weak voice. Is it just that you can't accept that he can sing even after listening to him, and praising him for doing just that

there are tons of fotballers I would categorize as weak players who once in a while plays a good game.

very simple, really

The very definition of that, is that he is capable and has a good voice, rather than a bad voice. standing half way back at the Hammersmith last year he sounded ok, and the show and band seemed to gel a lot more than any of the Queen+ PR shows that I saw.

i dislike the queen+AL fit as much as queen+PR...neither work really...PR would work if he sang Brian's compositions...and therein lies the problem.
but, e-man speaks utter rubbish. no-one anywhere can complete a rendition of "whole lotta love" or any other similar song without having a fair degree of vocal ability...weak singers do not somehow manage to perform that song well

"with Adam Lambert the shows had a much stronger Queen feel to them then the Paul Rodgers fronted version"

The one I saw had more of an open-mic feel to it than anything. Keeping in mind that this was the Kiev (?) show; after all of the fuckups earlier in the set, they went one better and invited some random loser on the stage for WWRY.
I haven't seen any of the subsequent shows in entirety, but I do know that I deliberately avoided listening to WWRY in case they repeated that nonsense.

"You couldn't take one of the guys out of Queen and still have a band that sounded the same"

As evidenced by the artistic schism on display whenever they try to use a singer who doesn't try to serve the songs. It was the same with that sleazebag Rodgers and his "hit me with your heart and with your soul" - I tell you, I've never wanted to shit on anyone so hard in my life. Honestly, just a big steaming dump on his hairplugs to shut him up. It would've been glorious.

perhaps he is capable, who knows? but from what I've heard from him, the zep cover is the single time he has sounded good singing a rock tune.

and don't get me started on his out of control vibrato and oversinging :)
