Review of Toronto show

It appears none of the Glambert's were able to make the trip to Canada so I've posted a review from Canada's largest daily paper for their benefit.

... which is basically a paraphrase of this:

Sigh ... oh, for the days when concert reviewers actually went to concerts.

Nice try SBN but the positive reviews outweigh the negatives by at least ten and one and I am thrilled about that.

So let me get this straight: Adam is actually Adam and Freddie is actually Freddie? That can only mean that Adam's voice is actually Adam's voice and Freddie's voice is actually Freddie's voice. Wow. That is so brilliant. I'm really impressed. How did these 2 reviewers ever catch on to that? I mean, wow, really ... wow. Does the band know this? Do you think the audience might know?

No, what I meant by posting this is that a positive review is "proof" or a video of Adam singing is "proof" of Adam's gift/suitability etc. Bad reviews? Meaningless. They both hold the same weight but negative reviews tend to be ignored. Just sayin'.

Huh?

^^^

If there is a positive review from a blogger or critic of any newspaper, it gets posted as "proof" of Adam's talent or "proof" that he is a suitable replacement. If someone says he can't sing rock, we get videos of Adam singing Whole lotta love as "proof" that he can sing rock. So shouldn't negative reviews from two of north Americas biggest papers be "proof" that he's not up to the job? If not, then all of the cherry picked positive reviews are ultimately meaningless too. They prove nothing other than the reviewer has an opinion. Yet the Glamberts use positive reviews to prove their guy is amazing but ignore valid criticism. Odd.

Thank you for clarifying that. Now I understand where you are coming from. My take on that is of course music and a singer's appeal are subjective entities. But the overwhelmingly positive reviews indicate to me that the haters are in the minority and most people are truly enjoying the show. And Adam.

i for one wish to f*ck he'd joined some other rock band - then the Glamberts would be spamming other boards, rigging other votes and attacking any gainsayers on another band's fan site...

Mr Lambert, if you're reading this, can you f*ck off and join Kiss, Styx, Kansas or Journey....

This LA reviewer had nice things to say about Cher's concert. Just thought she shouldn't sing I Got You Babe anymore. I'd say he's really a pop diva kind of guy.

Brenski, outlawbooster and sheerbrass, all three get my thumbs up. Yes, AL is much more pop than rock, negative reviews count just as much as positive reviews, and AL should audition as leadman for other bands, especially those who praise him (Motley Crue, Black Sabbath).

I know that if Adam would put some effort into developing his rock voice... like smoke a couple packs of cigs a day & screaming a the top of his tremendous lungs...he could be a rock star some day!

You guys are all adorable.
