He has no lower register at all thats why he comes across as the annoying screecher that he is. When do you Glamberts realise that hitting high notes is not equal to being a great singer. He is oversinging and phrasing the queen songs to death. If it is his style so be it but just dont use it to destroy those great queen songs. I cannot listen to him for mire than 30 seconds before having to roll my eyes because he is so annyoying
runner Not to your taste but clearly from the response of the crowds they are loving it. Every time Adam did that on Idol or his tour the response was instant, it grabs people. End of the day they have to play to the crowd and if it works why would they change it? And he can sing low when he needs to, just not that much call for it on most of the Queen songs. And I don't know which STL you've listened to but if it's from the 2017 tour that's not screeching, it's actually more operatic, the high sustained notes are smooth.
It is completely awful. I liestend to parts of the 2018 version. First this ridiculous scripted talk between Brian and the goat. Then the start as a balld (sound so lame) and in the middle Lamebird is doing Whitney Houston on speed again. How can anyone who loves the original version like this crap? It is almost as if they are taking the piss of the song. Awful to the maximum.
I listened how he sing some songs on You Tube ( maybe some of you would say that it's not the same, ok. but it's enough for me to have an opinion ) .
Adam persistently tries to prove that he is a better singer than Freddie, and because of that he exaggerates and changes the songs.
It seemed as he had imposed some pressure on himself. What does it have to do with high tones? That is not the most important thing for songs and singers.
Especially I don't like how he sing Who Wants To Live Forever, Radio Ga Ga and Another One Bites The Dust.

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. [/QUOTE]
Holy crap. The covers he sings aren't signature Adam. Frankly, it's like he is trying way too hard much of the time.
It's not all about him holding and hitting notes. I've said this before, but much of the time he lacks emotion IMO, while he is singing so many Queen songs.
That's your opinion and everyone's is different but the audience love the way he does them and at the end of the day that's what matters. Of course they are signature Adam, it's what he does, what he's always done. A toned down version to some extent but still how he chooses sing.
The reason Adam changes songs is not to prove he's a better singer, anyone who knows much about him will know he does it to every song he ever sings, even his own. Ask any fan who's been to multiple solo shows or even watch on YouTube, he rarely sings anything the same way more than a few times and constantly changes songs up. On Idol he told them near the beginning, he wanted to take a song we've heard a million times and change it, make it different. Even his younger brother said he used to drive him nuts as a kid, constantly singing along to the radio but changing the songs melody etc. The only thing he's said in relation to the Queen stuff is that he felt he had to keep everything in the original key because even though Freddie changed the key or sang lower sometimes that was ok because they were his songs, but he's held to a higher standard and if he doesn't do the high note or whatever people will say he can't cut it.
As to liking the way he sings the songs, that's personal preference. People don't expect him to sound or sing the songs like Freddie did, and they accept that it will sound different. They can still listen to the originals. Wasn't it Freddie who once said "a concert is not a live rendition of our album, it's a theatrical event"?
I don't see the problem, if people like it they go to see them, if not they don't.
^^^ OK. OK.
I said what I don't like and what my opinion is and that is it.
I don't intend to write essays about it and I will not change my opinion, of course.
rockchic: In other words he said: "I am better than Freddie because I do not tune it down" as I am used to a higher standard." What a twat. Too bad that he comes across as an annoying screecher yodeling his way thru a song. Unlistenable. He is simply awful like fingernails scratchin on a wall. And his ladyboy looks dont help neither
runner Please stop putting words in my mouth. Where on earth in my comment did you read "I am used to a higher standard".
I said he feels he would be held to a higher standard, meaning when he does his solo stuff he can please himself whether to go for the high notes he did on the albums or whether he down tunes the songs, which he has done with some but when singing with Queen, because he's being compared to Freddie by the fans he feels he has to sing in the original key and hit the notes or he'll be judged as not good enough to to do the job.
Someone even asked the question on f/book yesterday whether the key had to be changed for a smaller range since they felt that wouldn't be right so I guess he had reason to think that people expect him to hit the notes.
Aside from that, Adam's voice appears to be a high tenor, whilst Freddie's voice was said to be a baritone or at least a low tenor, so naturally he will sing higher anyway.
As for his looks, what has that to do with anything? And he doesn't look like a ladyboy, at least not currently.
Another offputting thing about karaoke kid is his timing - he always seems to be a few seconds behind when he is singing. Most notable on Radio Gaga for instance, Yes managed to get thru about half of the song. Each verse he was completely to late. If you dont hear that you re tone deaf. The answer of the Glambert will be: "That is intentional" . As it is intentional that he fucked up BoRhap and is constantly singing the wrong lyrics in GDML when it comes to the "suck ....." section. Atrocious
I'm sure the GDML is entirely intentional, obviously it's Adam's play on words for effect, he obviously likes the suck my head lyric. He would!!
Bo Rhap - I haven't seen those vids but enough people mentioned them that I'm sure he did mess them up, he's not perfect and forgetting lyrics is definitely one of his faults, even in his own songs.
I haven't listened to any recent vids so don't know about Radio Gaga, it sounded fine at the show I was at, but Adam is extremely clued up about music, been doing it since he was 10, I doubt he would be coming in late if it wasn't intentional. It's the one song in the show where it's pretty free flowing, where he goes down to the audience, who knows his reason. He changes the phrasing of songs for whatever reason, I've heard him do it on stuff of his own and covers. I don't analyze what he's doing all the time and I'm pretty sure people at a show wouldn't be analyzing every bit of each song to see how he's singing it either.
Look, if Adam comes in later or sings something after, it is intentional. I don't think he makes too many mistakes in that regard. As far as BR, it was three times at the beginning of the tour. You don't think Freddie messed up lyrics when he was singing? Anyone can make a mistake now and again and it means nothing except to people who can't really find anything else to criticize. You are just so petty that I can't believe it. You need to get it through your thick head that well over 95% of the folks who go to the concert, love it. It is your problem that you don't get it. Do yourself a favor and go find another place where you might be able to say something positive. That does a lot for your disposition! And for everyone else hear who has to listen to you here. We need a break from your constant moaning and groaning.
Every mistake the goat does is intentional right? How is the life on planet Lameturd?
Grow up and quite calling people names! I can think of a few for you, but am too civil to write garbage like that.
no name calling at all. Forst thing what comes to mind when you listen to him is a goat. And he is a turd on vocals. So what?
