Does AL read music? Has he written/composed music without a collaborator, a an individual effort?

Says you who has to back track most of what you post, evade questions and don't even know the difference between blues and r&b music, not to mentionnot knowing about Queen's Hot Space album. LOLOL.

I'm sure he does. Anyone who sings in a choir or trains for opera the way he has must know how to sing from a sheet of music. He doesn't play an instrument but knows a great deal about music, including how to write it.

If you say so. Too bad he makes or misses his mark by mainly singing cover songs.

You should send your complaints to B&R - I'm sure they'll file it in the right place.
Your information is incorrect -- there were no cover songs on the "Trespassing" album -- all new songs that had never been recorded by anyone else:
Trespassing, Cuckoo, Shady, Never Close Our Eyes, Kickin' In, Naked Love, Pop That Lock, Better Than I Know Myself, Broken English, Underneath, Chokehold, Outlaws of Love, Runnin', Take Back, Nirvana, By The Rules, Map.
You guys haven't done your Adam homework very well!

Complaints? It's a fact he sings plenty of cover songs. Come on, mithril your record keeping is slipping. Did you not know he sings cover songs. LOL

Yet more promotion. Again, it's a fact he sings plenty of cover songs. And guess what with the upcoming shows with Brian and Roger he will do it again. Did you miss that LOL.
Yes, in a Queen + tour it's a given that they will be COVERING Queen music. You don't like to be corrected. I posted all of the originally recorded songs in the "Trespassing" album that you said you didn't buy (as a supposed Adam Lambert fan) because you don't like them. So be it. But don't attack him that he sings too many cover songs. He has included cover songs in his live shows to add some variety, for example, the reggae Bob Marley song, "Is This Love" and legendary rock songs, "Whole Lotta Love," "Purple Haze," and "20th Century Boy!" If you had ever attended his live shows, you would love what he does, too. I watched that Led Zeppelin "Celebration Day" concert and it was great but if I had been in that audience I would have thought it was spectacular! There's something about the electricity at a live concert that can't be felt by watching a video and that's a fact!

What planet are you on? For such a devoted fan you sure miss facts...
Never Close Our Eyes was a Bruno Mars demo. It was recorded and the full version with Bruno singing was on Youtube before the Trespassing album was released.
Underneath was a country style song written by Tom Shapiro and there was a demo for that as well on Youtube before Trespassing was released.
You continue to twist things. I said I didn't buy Trespassing because there was music I liked more at the time. Where have I ever posted that I didn't like AL's last album. Is it ok, do I have to ask your permission to like FYE more. If doing what you do is what is takes to be an AL fan, well I'm glad you and your cronie mithril/taptap don't consider me an AL fan. Don't attack him? I'm pointing out the fact he has and will do many covers. Not attacking him.
You once again are full of crap. I don't think you have ever saw Elvis live, yet you often compare him to AL.
It's crazy how your mind works.

[b]taptap wrote:[/b] Seriously, do you know anything at all about the music industry? Because it sound like you know absolutely nothing. Songwriters who try to sell their songs to others make demos - that's how they're sold. A demo isn't a recorded song on a final album - it's a selling tool. Bruno Mars started out his career writing songs and selling them to recording artists - using demos. He still does that. Now, additionally, he keeps some of his own songs to record hmself. So...
Bruno Mars wrote 'Never close our eyes' and sold it to Adam. He can sing it, but when he does it's a cover, because Adam owns the original recording rights.
Pink wrote 'What do you want from me' and sold it to Adam. She can sing it, but when she does it's a cover, because Adam owns the original recording rights.
John Deacon wrote AOBTD, but Queen agreed at the beginning that all songs written, whether by one or all of them, would be jointly credited to the band. They didn't sell this song to anyone, they recorded it for a published album. Anyone BESIDES Queen who performs this song is therefore covering the song. If Adam sang this song on one of his solo tours, he'd be covering the song. When he sings it as the frontman for Queen, he is not covering the song, because it's being performed under the Queen aegis.
When Heart performs Stairway to Heaven and other LZ songs at the end of their concerts (which they almost always do), they're covering songs by LZ, who own the original recording rights.
When Adam sings LMD on the True album, he's not covering the song, he's performing it as a collaboration between Avicii, NR, and himself. If he were to sing it during one of his own concerts, it would be a cover because Avicii (Tim Bergling) owns the original recording rights. Either way, when it's played, he gets royalties both for singing it on the originally recorded album, and for co-writing it.
When Adam plays the material on his own albums, whether he wrote them entirely, co-wrote them, or purchased them from another song-writer, they are not covers, they're music he owns the recording rights to. When he does a live concert, he sometimes throws in things like Whole Lotta Love, and that's a cover of a LZ song because they own the recording rights. When he sings Time for Miracles that's a cover, because he was commissioned to sing that for the movie 2012 by R. Emmerich the producer/director of that movie who commissioned the writing and performing of the song.
You as a great big self-proclaimed expert on music in general and Queen in particular obviously don't know what you're talking about since you always - ALWAYS - get this wrong. Guess what? The people who actually know stuff about music here and on QOL, whether Queen fans or Lambert fans or fans in general, know you're talking out your ass when you say these things. I know you feel the need to follow SC around like a puppy dog desperate to get a bone, but everyone actually can read the words you write, and even though most of your writing is incomprehensible, the rest is clearly bullshit. So please continue entertaining us with your lack of knowledge why demanding the same from others. ffs if someone actually spent the time answering your questions (like I attempt to every now and then), you wouldn't understand anyway, which is why you generally get no response because who wants to waste their time on such a hopeless cause? This is also why you don't get people jumping to your support here or on QOL, because they don't want to look as illiterate about music as you. The ones that do are self-proclaimed newbies who don't know much (freddiecat) and trolls who like you assisting them in trolling (milkman). Get a clue, icy, you're being used, and you end up looking like a tool and a fool.
P.S.
You keep throwing in the wanna-be-spokesperson for AL and promoting AL issue like it's an insult. Guess what? As fans we're not insulted by that - we're happy to do it, we like doing it. That's why we do it - duh! If you want to insult Lambert fans, you need to find something they're embarrassed by, not something you think they're embarrassed by that they're not. It's such a waste of your time but you do it over and over and over again - that's the textbook definition of insanity. So once again:
1. Lambert fans are happy to promote Adam. This is not an insult to Adam's fans, no matter how much you think it is.
2. Lambert fans are happy to be wanna-be-spokespersons for Adam. This is not an insult to Adam's fans, no matter how much you think it is.
3. Lambert fans have no problem with him covering songs at the end of his concerts - they like his voice on his own songs and on good cover songs. This is not an insult to Adam's fans, no matter how much you think it is.
By the way, items 1 and 2 mean the exact same thing just in case you want to save yourself some time in the future and just type one out instead of both.
I really don't know why I'm bothering to try and set you straight on this, when it's actually more entertaining to watch you make a fool of yourself over and over again, but I guess a small part of me is beginning to feel bad for you, being used and misled by others with no one to tell you what's what. You've got free will though, so take it or leave it, continue on or not, it's your call. Just understand that people are laughing at you, not with you, and act as you see fit.
taptap, Thank you for correcting MY post as well! You are so right that if Adam is performing Queen music as their front man, he is NOT covering that music--I had that so wrong, thanks to icy, who has me going in circles over this insane "cover" thing. My son is here and we were talking about Nile Rodgers and David Bowie. We just played two videos on his big screen TV from the night that Adam joined Nile at the We Are Family AFTEE event. Remember how Nile said when he was jamming with Adam and Sam Sparro, he hadn't had so much fun in the studio since working with Bowie? It is an amazing thing to behold that Adam's life has come full circle with his personal idols of Queen and Nile Rodgers/David Bowie. Here are the videos of them performing "Let's Dance" and "Shady" .....
