Adam Lambert says Freddie Mercury is vocal God!

Always said Freddie was king vocalist and Lambert should NOT be standing on a stage with Queen, because
he is certainly not worthy, and i do not care what May & Taylor say because those two have made massive mistakes
before Lambert was discovered with Queen.
Of all the vocalists in the world and they chose a reality star!
Furthermore May & Taylor have never made an announcement that Lambert is the permanent lead singer of Queen,
they have just let Lambert hang around them for a least 6 years!
I think they know if they had told the truth that Lambert was permanent, many Queen fans would be pissed off,
i know i am, and as far as i am concerned Lambert ruins Queen.

Lambert has his moments but really doesn't carry a show.


It's a different generation. They LIKE the histrionics EVEN if they're unwarranted.


The world (USA) has gone "gay crazy" because it AMELIORATES societal problems (go reaching for your thesaurus)


Whatever. I can't change it. It's in the public's idiotic hands. Whatonce was unusual Is now common place. Where songs had originality you've got generic shit.

A case could be made for the 1950's where songs were detoxed and cleaned up into doo wop complete replicating standards. So. .... Maybe. .. MAYBE in twenty or thirty years there will be something original that isn't this homogenous cookie cutter CRAP that is spewed out daily that either steals a melody or samples it.


Nothing new under the sun?


I don't think anybody is buying the folks that are actually trying.


Don't believe it's dead.

It's a commercial grab.

I can accept people's scorn about Adam.

Whatever. The guys want to play and stretch their career without the assistance of their self reducing of their old historical unchallenged ways. If the new Tour WAS daring and DANGEROUS they'd have put their shit in their pipes and smoked it most definitely.

If they'd played alternating nights of Q1, Q2, SHA etc THEN they'd be onto something.




I think it approximates what's expected of a band trying to sell their best material.

TCR wasnt awful but it was pretty dull.

If they had called themselves THE FIRM II they might still be together (for America)


Just keep in mind the quote acknowledges a VOCAL GOD not a gifted songwriter.


Different thing.

Just regale at the chance of seeing these guys play again.

(Even IF Roger doesn't play IM IN LOVE WITH MY CAR anymore)


QUEEN: dumbed down. Watered down.


Even Brian's shows seemed more fun. (But in hindsight that was 1998.... a good goddamned long time ago).

Eh. Stop the comparisons. There is none. It's a decent rock revue. Go look at all the manifestations of the PLATTERS or THE TEMPTATIONS

Who wants to see a watered down version of Queen?
Even the tribute bands are better than the real group now!
zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz!

Seek help gerry.

Back to topic: one thing I have noticed is that Adam Lambert always hits his high notes with wide open vowels, even when the lyrics have closed vowels.

Well said. Went to see Brian in 1998, Brian & Roger in 2002, Q+PR 6 times in 2005 and 1 time in 2008. I enjoyed all of it, but NEVER had the illusion it was Queen I was seeing.

I fully understand people who want to go and see a Q+AL show. Personally, I don't care anymore. I've seen Brian + Roger enough now. Other bands have far better live shows.

Uhhhh.............okay, I kinda agree with MOST of what you said.............but what the hell does have to do with anything???

OSCAR J: Don't you dare tell me to get help you ignorant wanker.
My views on here are as valid as any ones views.
You need to get some manners, and let people express what they have to say.

*Sniff sniff, wah wah*

I really don't know if your views are worth as much as anyones... perhaps they would be if you didn't say the same thing in every post.

"Adam admits that he is limited in range camparing to Freddie. "
If thats true it has to do with the low register. Adam can go higher than Freddie and its not falsetto.

For example on [url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cylaTnUMBhA]Who Wants To Live Forever[/url],  on 1:55 he goes live higher than Freddie even got on record. That sais something.[/QUOTE]
You think that's the limit of Freddie's range? You've got a lot of research to do, son. [/QUOTE]

I am well aware of Freddie's range, 20 years now. I used that example becouse it was charachteristic of how Freddie even in Budapest '86 ( a GREAT performance indeed) used to sing the second part of the song almost an octave lower in the "forever'' parts whereas Adam hits some great highs on 2:50 for example.
I prefer Freddie by miles by this is just strictly talking about range.[/QUOTE]

So you know that Freddie's 'full voice' range was pretty limited in mid 80's, unlike early 80's.
