It's your "job" and or mission to post only the glowing stuff. That's all you ever focus on.

Why did you pick an article that was from over 5 years ago? There are lots of good things in that article about Adam's voice, way more positives than negatives. But the lower range was initially subpar compared to the rest of the voice. In the last 5 years Adams voice has improved in that lower range tremendously. I am sure he has worked on it and men's voices tend to deepen somewhat with age. I see him sing live a couple times each year, both with Queen and solo tours. I saw the QAL concert in August and his own show in December. The growth of his vocal skills from 2014 to now has been huge. His voice is deeper with a lot more resonance. He sounds so much better singing songs like SCC than when he first began in 2014. That lower register is now much better supported. But he hasn't lost anything in the upper range as that is bright and crystal clear. I love that he can sing in the upper registers without that annoying falsetto most men have to use. It sounds so much richer that way.
One of the things that really impresses me about his singing is the diction. So many singers nowadays are just mumblers. I enjoy being able to hear every word. The way he can transition and go from a lower note to a really high note is amazing. That is so hard to do and he does it impeccably. One of my fav parts of QAL concerts is UP, where he just goes up the scale and lets that high, high note fly. If you were sitting in the audience (which I know most of you have not done!), you would hear how loud and majestic that note is. It just resonates through the whole venue. That is why I have to laugh when Runner babbles on about weak voices. He is just so misinformed! That is something very few singers can do. He can transition from something very soft and quiet to extremely loud and is never flat or sharp. His ability to hold notes for really long periods of time is something only opera singers usually do. Then add to it the fact of his consistency over multiple concerts in short periods of time. Queen's catalog is tough to sing and I have never seen a show where Adam's voice was not wonderful, even if it was the third show in four nights. Some of you people do not understand how hard these things are to do and Adam is one of the few that can. His voice is stellar and has improved every year that I have seen him. The remarks from that old article are no longer valid.

Oh, he sings so much differently now?

He sings at a much higher level and his voice has improved, although he was always an exceptional singer. If you sing more and continue working on your instrument, whether musical or vocal, people do improve. His voice now in 2020 is far superior to what it was years ago. He has only gotten better with age. It is just like everything else, the more you do it, normally the better and easier it becomes.

The article was about his screaming. It’s still nasal when he’s screaming. You don’t agree?
snifflese · Member since
Nope, I absolutely don't and I have read reviews from REAL vocal teachers and opera experts and nasal is never a word that is applied to Adam's voice. That is just laughable. His tone is impeccable. I can mention quite a few singers with a nasal tone occasionally and Adam is not one of them ever even from the very beginning. Initially he could sound a little bit shrill as in Satisfaction on Idol and the lower range needed work. Neither of those 2 things are an issue now, nor have they been for a number of years. I have heard him sing at least 2-3 times a year since he was on Idol and everything has improved. I listen to opera and classical and I think Adam has one of the most beautiful, versatile voices in the world right now. YMMV, but unless you have heard him with a butt in the seat, it is not possible to hear all the nuances in his voice when it is a recording from someone's phone on a you tube. His voice just sounds different live than on any recording. I have read numerous times that his voice is very hard to record properly and initially there was even a helium effect at times. I guess it is because of the range and the different tones and volumes that he sings with. There was an explanation that I read but I am not a sound technician so I don't understand about compression and amplitudes that were mentioned in several of these articles. The best TV recording of Adam's voice was in the Kennedy Center Show when he sang Believe. I could find hundreds of credible people who have critiqued Adam's voice and they are full of nothing but praise, yep, Icy, I am bigging him up, but it is well deserved ,and I can show you numerous articles where people who actually sing or teach for a living would agree with me.

Nasal? No way!
Mr. Cosmic, it is time for you to give up your weird obsession with Adam! Are you secretly wishing you could be his boyfriend?

Says you who has said many times you think of yourself as AL's second mother, and that you even want to clean his house. It's you who can't help but to luse and practically drooled over the guy as you have even made a thread about how good looking you think he is, plus all the sexy, handsome, gorgeous and he is not fat crap that you do. On Queen boards you feel that's just so importent to post about.
You have a weird fixation, an all out obsession about Lambert, especially considering that you are much older than him. Maybe that's it, you are older than him, you want to mother him and fuck him. It's more than time to give up your fantasies about Lambert, especially on Queen boards.

Adam Lambert's Collection of Screams

Good news ... Adam dropped Queen and joined Metallica.
"Lambert and Queen’s performances — like those any skilled cover band — were pitch-perfect. They were also soulless."
"Perhaps that’s why I left the show wanting more, and feeling disappointed for any actual Queen fans who walked out of the venue wanting the same. I wanted to see the life, and the effort, that made Mercury an iconic front man. I wanted the perfect falsetto, but I wanted it delivered with fire. I wanted to see Lambert sweat, and yell, and at the very least, move around the stage with more dynamism than the deliberate amble he kept as his pace throughout the show.
Instead, I got a concert-hall version of Queen with a choir-boy Freddie Mercury when, as I increasingly realized as the show went on, all I really wanted was something remotely authentic."

You can always find one or two people who don't like something and I read that when it was written. Everyone likes something different, but there is one review like that for every 100 that are positive. You will never find anything that everyone likes, but there are way more folks that are positive about QAL than those that go and are not happy. Not everyone will be, so what? That doesn't somehow make it bad. Most people go away from the concert having enjoyed it and appreciating the musicianship of Brian and Roger, Adam's singing and listening to a wonderful evening of Queen's music. Why you people want to always make it negative I just don't understand. How many different ways can you say you hate QAL and Adam and their singing together? We already know that. I don't care what your opinion is as I have my own, which I am entitled to.
