The reaction, that you've pointed out, of some female Lambert fans is partly what popular music sells on from the early days of Elvis, a The Beatles and Stones, to Take That and so on. Both female and male, go and watch The Pet Shop Boys, a large percentage of their audience is male and they are not there for the musicality of the band anymore than they are there to be part of a scene and get a little closer to their idols. There is no harm in it and I keep I said it's what a lot of the industry is built on.mthose are the people who buy tickets down load songs and keep the artist viable.
The same happened in Queen's day. For every guy who was there to listen and even study every chord Brian played there'd be twice as many women lusting after Freddie or Roger.
The difference now is the Internet were everyone has a voice, yes fan sites will be full of fans who will talk about a current artist as much as about their product. It's not just Lambert, it's everyone who is popular and is current. If you go back to the mid to late 80's when hair metal was the big thing, the shows were full of girls, I remember chatting to two at a Whitesnake show, they knew nothing about the band apart from the current single and Dave Coverdale's name. They were their because they thought he was cool etc it was a scene it fuelled their image. That is exactly what is happening with Lambert.
The claim that he is selling tickets, it's part of the same thing, their guy in their mind is brilliant so that's what they think or believe. In reality Queen have sold a lot more tickets with him fronting the band than with Paul Rodgers. But whether that's down to Lambert is open to question.

I daresay you're right happystar, just lucky Adam doesn't have to rely on being pretty. Aside from being a talented singer he's got a great personality and he's a genuinely nice guy, those things together will ensure he'll always get work regardless of his looks.
And incidentally, it's hardly his fault some overly zealous glamberts keep going on about his looks, all he wanted to do was sing but anybody in the entertainment business has their fair share of fans who are besotted by them. The majority of his fans are more interested in his voice/music than what he looks like, they just see that as a bonus.

He is neither a pretty boy nor has he any talent.

Some of what I've read, some Glamberts do put too much stock in looks. There was a thread attempt here by a Glambert that tried to say Adam is so good looking, never mind the sexy beast type crap.

Yeah some of the stuff I've read is pretty over the top. Would be nice if people could focus on the important stuff rather than the superficial but hopefully they're in a minority.

Hasn't stopped since Q+AL began. The Adam is so good looking, sexual beast, sexy beast, gorgeous, hot, hunk, handsome, comes from sweetcaroline/CNB...and on Queen boards no less. She puts too much stock in how she thinks AL is appearance wise.
I'd expect that type of crap from a preteen on AL boards, I never would expect it from a grandmother that I know she is.

The sexy beast comments are in response to the nasty and bigoted remarks that Adam is fat and too camp or feminine and you know that by now, Icy!
BTW, I didn’t start a new thread about American Idol because Adam was mentioned in some articles. Because you bitched about it, it got moved into the Adam Lambert thread. American Idol isn’t just about him. The new show isn’t about him at all. Since you are so negative about him, why don’t you mind your own business and stop sticking your nose in whatever I do and say?

Because you are the most annoying Glamtart of them all thats why.

No dear. Many times you have talked about his looks, for no reason whatsoever. You tried as soon as you could after your break from QOL last August. You even tried to start a thread about AL is so goo looking for crying out loud. Hang on, I will go bump the thread for you.
Here you go blaming me once again. Stop playing the pity, poor me party and blaming me when things are done and how it's done. Look at how quick you are to blame me right away. The links you posted praised AL, and it wasn't even about the new American Idol show at all. Besides did you forget you already made an Idol thread before? I don't think you think at all before you post a dam thing.
If you can't tell by now after your years of being on QOL that hardly anyone gives a shit about Idol type shows, I don't know what to tell you. You just want to chat about AL as much as you possibly can.
Why don't you get a grip, stop blaming me, and start your own Lambert board or something where you can just lust , swoon, fantasize about him instead of your teeny booper reactions on Queen boards. And you are a grandmother for crying out loud. Why on Earth do you act like a spoiled brat throwing a tanturm? Can't get your own way, I guess.

Just to the haters. You can't possibly tell me this isn't a great performance.

someonewholikesadam : That was a fairly limp rendition of Bohemian Rhapsody by Adam sung in west end style.
The audience were usually headbanging when Freddie went into the rock part of the song after the operatic bits but the audience just stood there when Adam done that bit,
meaning they just are not sure about him, just like many. Sorry but but he just does not cut it.[/QUOTE]
Bohemian Rhapsody is a tough song to handle. Not for the weak. I've never warmed up to AL singing it, he sings so much of it now with Freddie being taken out at the ending, and he fcked the lyrics up three nights in a row late last year. Not good. You are right, and I agree, he doesn't cut it.
A no from me ;-)

To be honest Lambert does not do any Queen song any justice whatsoever. He sings in his west end singing voice just like Michael Ball or Alfie Boe. Lambert in a rock band like Queen is so wrong.[/QUOTE]
He tries way too hard. And I can tell he tries too hard. I've always said rock music isn't his forte.
