Definitive list of songs Adam has sung well live with Queen

I cannot see GM doing hardrock. He would have been netter than Lamebird though no doubt

We will have to agree to disagree. Adam sings with great emotion and his voice is not paper thin. That is just your imagination and something you can't gauge from someone's youtube. It doesn't sound like being there and Adam fills the hall with that massive voice. He actually does a lot less with the super high notes and that is a good thing. It should just be a special thing within the song.
At one point early on, I will agree that the rock could have been better. But now, his voice is hugely improved on those songs and it sounds really good. I still prefer him singing the ballads or quirky songs like Killer Queen, but there is nothing in that Queen catalog that isn't sung really well. You should check out tweets, stuff from after the concerts. There are so manyposters that reference his outstanding voice. How underrated his voice is, etc, etc. I don't remember tweets and comments about a singer's voice normally. People are finally recognizing how great of a voice he has. You can fart around here on the site and poke fun, but you guys look like the idiots! Grown men just don't make imbecile remarks like you do. They are just NOT FUNNY. Even though you seem to get your joliies from it. Sad, really!

Sorry to bring it to you, but I make up my own mind. I do not go on twitter etc and look up the remarks and then I decide if I like someone or not. I listen or watch someone and then I can say if I love or hate sth. Lamebird I hated from the first time I saw and heard him. WHo are you to say that my opinion is just "Poking fun" you silly wanker? Do you mean the whole world has to love this annoying twat that happens to build his career upon a guy whos been dead for 26 years. ??? And the usual argument"you have to be there to judge"?! I dont go to Bieber or Spears concerts as I know I would hate it. So I know I would hate this parrott fronting my once fave band and mocking their old deceased frontman.I would not last one song. The collaboration looks like two mad grandpas are reliving their past desperately and have lost it completely by hiring a parrot to front them It even sillier than SPinal Tap

Of course you don't have to like him. But you are so nasty in the things you say and how you reply to someone.. You can have a grown up discussion but you just bring it down to the barnyard lever such as a goat being raped. That is the stuff that is not necessary and appalling for a grown up to say. THAT is what I am talking about, getting your jollies over how clever you think your replies are and they are just unnecessary. You are entitled to whatever you think, but how you say it is an issue for me.

When Adam first became known, some people were speculating that he must have a third lung to be able to generate so much
power in his voice! He does have a big chest and strong shoulders if that has anything to do with the breathing process!

This is a really nice Studio 10 interview in Australia where Adam compares the various Queen songs and what it involves to perform them:

As I am about to have lunch I wont click on a Lamebird interview link becuase I'd lose my appetite

runner_70 The biggest worry in this thread is that you know what a goat being raped sounds like.

lol @vocal harmony - well believe me - exactly like the tool is sounding

I really liked AL and Roger duetting on Under Pressure on the last tour in December. A real Highlight!

Also good:
Another One bites the Dust
I want to break free
I want it all
Who wants to live forever
Radio Gaga

Last year’s:
„Save me“ stood out and
I was born to love you

I also find his newest rendition of BoRhap pretty decent, I have to say.

Well happystar Lamberts high register vocals on Under Pressure are close to the recoded version than Freddie ever sung live, as is Who Wants To Live Forever.

Wwtld Sounds atrocious. This annoying high pitched vibrato is so offputting......
I still say he is no good singer at all. Freddie had depth in his voice while lamebird is just a highpitched screamer.
Happy : is rather listen to a straycat for 2hrs straight instead of seeing QAL

Adam's high notes are perfectly on pitch and they never sound screechy like most people, even women , who sing that high. I totally disagree with both of you. Adam has an absolutely gorgeous upper register and he hits those notes clear as a bell. Brian said there is hardly anyone who can sing some of his songs in the key they were written and he feels Adam is one a billion singer. Why don't you believe a lifelong musician who wrote the music and certainly knows if it is screechy or not. There has been very little vibrato since that first EMA back in 2011 or 2012. I think you need to go back and listen to the big vibrato Freddie had. It is very prominent in a lot of the things I have watched online. Don't get the criticism since the master himself used it a lot. Also, Adam is much less apt to use all the high notes he used to. They are moderated nowadays, but when you hear them, they give me goosebumps! I truly feel he has one of the most magnificent voices ever and there are plenty of people who say the same thing who are music teachers, voice coaches and producers who work with him. They can't all be wrong!!

I cannot remember Freddie doing a Mariah Carey/Celine Dion improvisation on "WATC" yodeling thru the song, same with "STL" and many many others. Yes he is hitting the high notes but with his paperthin voice and without any lower register he sounds atrocisous. Freddies vibrato was natural. Lamebird uses it to the max and it sounds annoying. And it is not the first time sinceBrian is talking rubbish. They wanna sell tickets thats all that counts

If it was just Brian you might have a point but he's regarded in the industry as having an incredible voice, "Vocal Beast" is the term often used, mainly because of his power to belt and the sheer ability to sing like that consistently night after night with no vocal strain. What you're describing as yodeling is riffing or vocal runs to a classical singer and it's common in modern music for singers to do it, they even banned it on X Factor because everyone was doing it, but the massive difference is Adam actually knows how to do it properly, unlike a lot of the X Factor contestants who think they can be the next Whitney H.

I get why some people don't like it, it changes up the phrasing of the song and it's not what you're used to if it's a cover, but Adam's a clever guy and he knows there's no way of getting up there and winning the audience over by just singing the songs the way they were written. He sounds nothing like Freddie and would just be compared and people would be left feeling flat. Added to that it's what he became known for and what his own fans at least like, he changes the songs just enough to make them "signature Adam" if you like, while still keeping close to the original. If you've watched any vids of the songs where he does those riffs and holds the long high notes you'll know the audience absolutely love it. In the first section of the set he does a long high note at the end of TYMD and the crowd go wild. I guess that's them being skeptical until then and suddenly realizing, hey this guy can actually hit the notes, it might be ok after all.

Like snifflease said, he uses that strategically, more now than ever, instead of just throwing them in all the time and I've noticed him stepping back to let the crowd sing quite a bit more on this tour as well.

As to his lower register, he can sing low, and it's better now than it used to be, probably due to singing more with Queen and the fact the Male voice doesn't fullly mature until age 35/36.
