"It speaks for itself, his voice’: Queen’s Brian May calls Adam Lambert one

I just don't get why his fans think beating people over the head with endless youtubes and fapping are the way to endear new any fans. It's the opposite. I get their excitement, but those types of posts are best for Adam's fanboard as it likely does more harm than good.

Word. I actually liked Adam since his time on American Idol. I don't like much of his solo work because I haaaaate dance/club music but I followed his career casually and I would go see him perform with Queen.

Some of his fans are so obnoxious though -- they police the internet and act like criticizing Adam should be felony. Before, I would have given Adam's solo work a chance if he ever got away from dance music. Now, even though I tell myself that I shouldn't let his fans behavior affect my opinion of him, it's become impossible and I just avoid everything Lambert except for his work with Queen.

Speaking of beating people over the head with endless YouTubes, don't forget to watch Adam on Glee on Thursday.

"Sorry Zeb, I gotta disagree" + some other stuff.

It's not that I can't see the points you're trying to make here, but they just don't hold up for me. The idea of respecting Brian May today purely on the basis that he recorded some of my favourite songs almost 40 years ago and just ignoring the shonky decisions he's making in the here and now - the music might be a timeless recording that stands the test of time, but human beings are not. They're always around, shifting and changing and evolving. Brian May is very much alive in the here and now, and if he does a vomitous collaboration with some yob who really ought to be in jail instead of in the charts (ie. Dappy) then I'm going to say so. Just the same as I'd give him the appropriate amount of kudos (and then some) for when he does a good thing like the time he let Tom Chaplin guest on lead vocals.

Just accepting people for who they are is why Australians have to put up with some cunt called Redfoo on our TV screens at the moment, and I've had enough of it. Brian May can (and usually does) have all of my love, really, but when he does a clunker then I'm not going to be backwards in coming forwards about it, and nor should anyone else.

I can't even remember how I got onto this tangent because all I'd really meant to point out in this thread is not to take Brian May's hyperbole at face value. He says the same crap about Kerry Ellis that he said about Dappy that he said about Katy Perry. They're all forgettable - it'd just be easier to forget them if one of my heroes would stop paying them lip service in order to flog his music to youngsters.

B&R really just need a cute sexy personable person to front their own very excellent instrumental musicianship.
They are still the among the greatest rock musicians, so anyone with charisma and voice will do. Hence, AL.

Marc Martel just isnt 'out there' enough for them. Not enough make up. Too nice. Common guy clothes. Not gay.
Plays guitar and piano. Sings closer to Freddie than anyone. But from 1987 on Freddie was more like Marc than AL
and audiences still went crazy over him during Barcelona.

“Everybody’s so cool and I didn’t know what to expect, but I immediately felt verycomfortable with everyone and we’ve been having a lot of fun,” the singer, 31, tells me Saturday during the InterContinental Miami Make-A-Wish Ball. “We laugh a lot.”

Still, Adam doesn’t aspire to join the show full-time.

“I think the guest-star thing is a really nice treat,” he says.

Despite his reservations about embarking on a full-time acting career, he isn’t completely closing the door on it.

Adam, who recently performed with the classic rock band Queen at the iHeartRadio Music Festival, may play Freddie Mercury in an upcoming biopic about the band.

“That would be cool!” he says. “That’s all I’ve got, but it would definitely be a big honor and it would be really cool.”

During the benefit, Adam gives an hour-long performance for celebs including former Dancing With The Stars champ Helio Castroneves and Real Housewives of Miami stars Lea Black and Lisa Pilner.

And in the vein of the Make-a-Wish ball, what’s Adam’s biggest wish?

“The big picture for me is I love entertaining people and bringing people happiness or catharsis—anything with music,” he explains. “I like connecting with people and I like allowing people to connect with each other. I just wanna keep doing it!”

"How Lea Michele Coped After Cory Monteith’s Death"

Drugs, probably! It's really the only way I can envision any of those people making it through a days work.

That Queen + Glee feels remotely in the realm of possibility says much about the steering decisions of the last several years. I'm not sure I've ever seen a classy, deserving band like Queen shoot their own legacy repeatedly in the face quite so enthusiastically before. Hard to watch really.

personally I cant think of anyone else being able to hit that note.

But you are really wrong. You, just like Brian May, made a fool of yourself. I can think of several known singers that can go that high (including Freddie). Unfortunately for you, even Axl Rose can go as high as that.

Unfortunately, even though the man can thing, the song just lost its magic completely when that man tried to imitate a goat throughout the song with his boring vibrato and fucked up the highest "on with the show" bit - once it felt like a powerful and clean Freddie Mercury scream, now the Adam "The American Wannabe Idol" Lambert made it sound like if a cat was dying".

Incredibly sad and awful rendition of the very ending of the song

He doesn't really sing with a full voice. He sings with like a mix of falsetto and head voice mixed together, which is how he can hit those "high" notes.

Freddie sang wiith full head voice and it sounds a million times better than this emo faghag.

Thank you for that! It's not about who goes higher, it's how they sound. Freddie sounds powerful, Adam sounds like a cat. Freddie can go as high as that with his falsetto,and many - live or not - recordings can prove us that, but he just did not want to sound like a cat fighting for his life and oversing this awesome song.

I liked how he sounded singing Who Wants To Live Forever but I can't stand how he sings The Show Must Go On..

Unfortunately Bruno P. seems to be afflicted with a lisp.

I'm just kind of shocked that the friendly neighbourhood fag hag thinks a lisp is an affliction! What's next? Can't stand to see a man crying in pink sequins and an Elmo coat? Wish Adam would stop, for the love of Christ, frenching his guitar player in the middle of his shitty songs? Who knows!
