Definitive list of songs Adam has sung well live with Queen

dragon attack from hammy 2012

Dragon attack is one of his fave songs, or was, he used to do it on his solo shows.

You forgot Stone Cold Crazy (my favorite) and Killer Queen !!!!!

In English singing flat is off key. I am not sure what you mean by flat if off key is not what you meant? Adam's voice is nuanced, there are softer and louder segments and he can belt it out so that the whole arena is filled with his voice and he is hardly ever overpowered by the band unless there is a mixing issue. He has a HUGE voice and often has to hold the mic quite a ways from his mouth so as not to overpower. I think you just have it in your mind that he is this way because you just don't like him. I am not at all sure that Freddie could overpower him. They both have very big, loud voices that swirl around the whole venue. His voice is quite similar to Freddie's or else he wouldn't be singing with Queen. The singer has to have a big, nuanced voice that can span octaves and both Freddie and Adam possess that kind of a once in a generation voice. I keep saying your ears need cleaning out if you hear anything flat, pitchy or without power. It just isn't so!
You may not like the tone of the voice, but that is a different story.

snifflese Glad someone pointed out flat & off key is the same thing. I agree about his voice live, I was shocked how powerful his voice actually is.

Always thought he sounds AB-SO-LUTELY FAR-KING




....REEEEEEEEDICULOUS trying to sing DRAGON ATTACK. It's truly horrible and laughable coming from someone with such a boyish voice.

Sorry. But it's probably his worst. It should be dropped from all setlists

WWTLF, Save Me, Love Kills, 7 Seas of Rhye, I WBTLY, and Radio Gaga are my favs![/QUOTE]

I knew there was something we could...and ac agree on ;-).
Save Me is pretty damn good, more than I expected.

matt z ALL songs should be dropped from the setlist. As you say he has a voice that lacks power. It is paper thin. And by flat I mean not necessarily Off key but just plodding along. I was shocked to hear his Save me rendition as It made the song like a lounge version especially in the chorus. He sang it with no power whasoever. And all other harder edged songs he came across like a lil choire boy triying to do a hardrock song. Absolutely pathetic. And dont get me started about his WWTLF version. SOunding like a mix between Celine DIon Mariah Carey and Whitney Houston yodeling himself thur the song. Absolutely atrocious. SO is his weh are the chaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaampioooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooonsssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssss iwth his vocal Gymnastics. FOr me he is one of the worst singers out there. Completey useless tool

^to be fair. ...recent versions of WWTLF are beginning to sound Celine Dion-ish ....and really loungey...i think he's trying to incorporate that style into his singing but it's a negative for QUEEN songs

Just saying after listening to the recent yt videos from New Zealand

I like Queen+AL, but I have to agree with Matt Z again as regards Dragon Attack. It rivals Crazy Little Thing Called Love as the worst versions in the setlist. Please mind that I absolutely love these songs, but AL versions of them is horrible.

Again, I like QAL a lot and I even wish they would record together. I have to be frank about those two songs, though. Horrible with AL on vocals.

Cheers,

Lambert always sounds like he's trying too hard.

Trying too hard and failing miserably

Well, happystar, I think you have Adam and Freddie confused there as far as polished vocals. I have heard a lot about Freddie on the Queen sites and that has never been applied to him. It is always how spontaneous he is and the raw emotion he sings with. It didn't matter that he wasn't always on key and some of his concerts were not always great, but he was full of real emotion! It is Adam who is too polished and technique driven and somehow that means he can't sing with emotion. Seems ridiculous to me but... Adam is the classically trained vocalist and nasally he most definitely is not. I just don't understand what you are hearing, because all the things you say are true about his voice, the majority of folks are not hearing.

I assume West End is like Broadway and I find it funny how everyone denigrates them. On Broadway those singers are almost always trained, mostly in a college music program and have super voices. They can also bring it night after night, which is something Freddie was not famous for. They are just like Adam who takes care of his voice and knows how not to abuse it, in order to sing well at every concert, not just some of them. I don't think Broadway singers are given nearly enough credit. Adam is beginning to get credit for his masterful performances and it is about time. There are a lot less naysayers even here on this site. Continuously spouting your drivel, does not make it so!

Snifflese - masterful performances by singing like a goat being raped? At least you recognize thtat he is singing like a robot without any emotion at all. And his Westend renditions of Queen songs are just a joke. If I wanna see that I go to a musical.
YOu can twist and turn it as you want- he is just no rock singer at all. An annoying twat that is living on life supprt from Brian and ROger

happystar: Lamebird has not even a strong voice. His powerless voice is paperthin. He may hit the highest notes possible (and sounding like a goat) but he is far from a great singer.
