Would you folks consider Adam Lambert a "rock star"?

What does that have to do with anything being discussed here?

Bas, I have the Rainbow 74 and Montreal concerts.

I know what Freddie did on stage. He was great.

I listened to the whole Greatest Hits I and II driving to and from the live QAL opening night concert in Chicago in 2014.

I regret never seeing Freddie and Elvis in live concerts.

But I was too busy having babies in 1971 and 1973.

What do you think of those and Freddie other than it was great? No spectacular, magnificent, magical, special to describe it?
Rainbow is bloody terrific I think. Even that early on, Freddie and Queen had it...and used it. They weren't afraid to be who they were.

Maybe it has to do with this. Apologies to the rational AL fans here...

I admit I didn’t know about Track 13 until I was being mesmerized by it sitting in the United Center in Chicago. Then I got Made in Heaven so I could play it at home.

In the 90’s I was a single mother working full time, taking care of two teens/college students, two dogs and a widowed mother. So I didn’t have the time to know everything about the music industry. When I retired in 2007 I became a busy Grandma and I do have Adam to thank in 2009 for helping me to catch up on the music I had missed in those very hectic years when I was literally juggling about 14 things at a time.

Thing is with you in the years since you first heard Track 13, you didn't bother to look it up what it was about. You pretty much admitted you didn't Google it.
I get and I fully understand that you were busy years ago with your family. I actually think you are a brave woman in that regard. If I could hug you right now for all you have gone through, I would. I know it's not easy, I'm trying to cope with both of my parents being ill and it'll ntake a miracle for them to be better...and I know it won't happen for them, and I'm devastated about it.
I'm no Queen or Freddie expert...not even close. But I do know things that are easily found out like never before. When it comes to AL I don't know everything to do with the guy...I actually don't want to know some of it. I do wish you were honest. When I joined Queen boards I literally was amazed at how much I learned about the band. The friends I made. The friends I still have...all because of Queen. Ask questions to fellow fans, it's a great way to know people and the band. Don't assume the worst of Queen fans, here or on QOL.
There is a big world of Queen and other music out there, and their fans. Please don't miss out on it, or judge everyone by me.

When I first came to QOL I was not welcomed warmly. All I heard was how Adam sings like a goat!

A recent tweet by Guilliarme Pare, whoever he is:

“DAMNNNN @adamlambert you sir rock the hell out of Queen.

Congrats BOY !!”

Partly because you were accusing people of being the same person as another poster, and right away you made it your "thing" to go on the attack and defense of AL towards people who didn't feel the way you do. You obviously feel upset time and time again when things are sometimes posted that you don't like.
You still do that, with your added "promontion" and spam.
For example, what's the point of posting that tweet here? It's not going to change anyone's mind by copying and pasting glowing tweets and going about things the way you do it.. I think you want and need people to agree with you about AL. And that will never happen, because you are awfully pushy and defensive when it comes to AL.

His songs aren't rock. He hasn't even released a rock song yet.

Not yet maybe. It was his choice, they wanted him to do that on the first album but he wanted to do pop unfortunately.

He's definitely not a hard rock vocalist. Bubblegum pop, yes. He didn't want to release rock music, because he knows he doesn't have the voice for it. We leave that to Freddie Mercury!

He can sing rock but not the Freddie kind, he's more hairband rock/metal which is probably what they wanted him to do.

Lame Bert can sing rock?!? WHOEHAHAHA.

NO HE CAN’T.

NOT. EVEN. CLOSE

He’s a cheap cabaret sort of singer.

He can’t sing for shit!!!

WHOEHAHAHA!!
