Which dates are you going to?

runner Freddie had a noticeable vibrato.

Freddie had a huge vibrato, just go listen to some of the youtubes. I checked out a lot of them back when Adam started singing with Queen and kept seeing the criticism about the vibrato. I DID hear it in the EMA performance, their first big one. Then it went away, as Adam can use it or not. Freddie, however, normally has quite a vibrato that isn't that pleasant to listen to! I don't get it when the Master himself is guilty of that and you call out Adam for it, but he has not used it overyly much since the EMA's. However, vibrato to some degree is a voice saving technique! Tired of hearing that garbage and the name calling. How old are you again? You sound like a grade schooler making up stupid names for people. Who in the world is going to take you seriously when you come across as a whiny CHILD???

VH I saw Freddie on Top of the Pops many years ago and i instantly knew he had stage presence and poise,
Sadly Mr/Miss Lambert has none of those things.

happystar In your opinion, but from the response of the crowds at the shows that isn't the reality at all. They are loving his stage presence.

happystar, why don’t you call Freddie, Miss Mercury?

Well since Brian calls him Madam Lambert I wouldn't worry too much about the Miss.

Thanks, I was wondering if that would have been brought up here. Freddie had the nick name Melina Mercury given to him by Elton John. Miss, Madam...no big deal at all really.

When in the world would a band ask their fans who to sing for them? There are very few fans as extreme as you, so I don't think your input would count for much! Good thing they didn't ask you! You don't have to hang up your shoes when Freddie is dead. If there are two left to tango, who can still play at an impressive level and who WROTE a lot of the music, why should they stop being who they are? I don't understand why fans would want them to do that! They are musicians to their core and they want to perform. If you are able to do that with a pretty perfect replacement, why not? You are being awful selfish to think they ought to just go in a closet and die!

INXS tried it with JD Fortune who joined the band. It didn't quite work out. That's one example.
Why do you always say good thing that there is this that? I guess it's your way of wanting certain POVs shut down.
Personally, I think it will be a sad day when Brian and Roger retire. It's why I hope after Q+AL is over that they can get back to the Queen music left in vaults. If not, maybe more solo music.
Good thing that not everyone thinks AL replaced Freddie, and good thing not everyone thinks AL is a pretty perfect replacement. I'm one of those people who thinks Freddie s irreplaceable...but good to know you think Freddie is replaced and the guy you think replaced Freddie is pretty perfect. I never would have guessed you felt that way *sarcasm*.
Who said anything about them going into a closet and die?

I personally don't see him as a replacement and neither does he. It's just a progression, for musicians who still want to be out doing their thing and have found someone who it works with. The audiences are loving it but they aren't comparing, just accepting it as a different entity, or at least that's the impression I have from all the feedback on facebook/twitter.

Progression? Really? From one if not THE best frontman ever to a sad lil Karaoke kid who lost in an American Casting show? They are just a sad Greatest Hits act to gain $ for the pension fund

If Glamberts think Adam is a pretty good replacement for our Freddie then they are pretty much off there heads.
Freddie had miles and miles of talent and far too talented for adam to compete with. He is one lucky guy getting that lucky break to even stand on the same stage as May & Taylor, and he knows that, but he just better enjoy it because "The show wont go on" much longer!

What word would you use for Adam's role, replacement, stand in, successor. I am not sure what word would not offend you. This is getting way too PC.

A guest.

Guests don't sing with a group for over 5 years and hundreds of concerts! Don't care if that is what Adam says. He is too careful of stepping on any toes. At this point I think it is ridiculous.

Thought you were "done"?
So what is AL singing the songs to you then? He does say he is a guest.Once again you don't care, go figure. Do you really think he is afraid of stepping on toes about it after all this time?
Yea, come back with the usual he is a member of the Queen family, he reinvigorated Brian and Roger, AL went on a trip with Roger...anything to make him seem bigger and more important. What is most important to you, is that AL is the one singing those Queen songs, you don't care at all about the Freddie/Queen legacy at all.
