Ah, thanks, I wasn't sure and Google is being a pain for me this morning.
He's been very busy, I still don't know he does it. Hopefully he will recover soon. Airplane air and traveling with a cold isn't fun for sure. [/QUOTE]
Yeah he's mentioned dry air from travelling etc before. Don't know if he still does but he used to always have a humidifier with him and drink throat coat tea and a few other things for his voice, he really does take looking after it seriously so fingers crossed he's better for tonight.

LMFAO - what the guy did to me??? He rapes the songs of my once favourite band and destroys them on a daily basis. He is mocking Freddie, seems like a bad parody. His non existing paperthin crap voice and his annoying vibrato just hides the fact that is singing is just awful. Thats enough for me to hate the guy. He can do whatever he wants, but he is living on someones laurels who has been gone for 26 years. A bad karaoke parrott with no artistic credibility. His solo career went down the toilet. The only half successful album was the first after AI but that was because of his AI "fame" - no big deal. He is just a manufactured dishonest guy with no musical credibility whatsoeve. He is acting as if ihe is a rockstar bus he has ZERO connection to Rock music. He is a lame eurodance guy who is constantly trying to find the flavour of the month. Once he is recoding with Martin. When this flops he is doing covers or is wanting to do "Glam Rock". What a fucking loser. I still wonder what Brian and ROger see in this tool.
KUDOS to Warner for dropping him. He will soon turn up on a cruise ship near you in front of 35 drunk SC-Clones who worship him. Of course he will be billed as "Ex Queen Singer"[/QUOTE]
What a crock of absolute crap, not one single point that's accurate in the whole thing. That tirade just shows you are completely biased and impossible to have even a remotely normal conversation with.
Every point is completely true. in Europe noone gives a shit about the guy. ppl go to QAL because of Maylor and because they wanna hear the hits regardless that Lamebird is destroying them. He is virtually still unknwon in Europe despite Brian and ROger try to shove him in everyones throat. In Europe ppl know if someone has class or no. Lamebird has nothing to offer. And now even in the US his career is over. Once QAL has run is course (which is soon) he is gone for good as well

Wrong again - a couple of comments on facebook from yesterday after the show
"was worried about Adam singing for queen and trying to be Freddy...completely unfounded. He was absolutely amazing. Not Freddy but the next best thing".
"I never thought adam lambert would do a great job if being lead singer ...but after seeing him perform with queen in sydney this year im amazed how talented he is ...i really have changed my views on him love his flamboyant ways ....great choice fir the lead ...but Freddie will always be in my heart .."
You were posting all over facebook yesterday so you know I'm not lying, loads more of the same type comments over there, that you were arguing with. You don't have to like this collab but you really are just making things up with what you post.
YOu should not take opinions seriously who talk about "FREDDY"

Odd one's put Freddy but you know most of the ones posting are genuine long time Queen fans, you argue enough with them. Not telling anyone they have to like or accept it but there are loads who do and they are having a great time at these shows. They all say he's not Freddie, Adam included, but that doesn't matter, no one's expecting him to be.
As for the statement, that Lambert is unknown in Europe: How comes it, that some of his singles went gold (including in your country) and platinum? He‘s actually more successful in Europe than in the US. There he is wider known, but not for his music, that’s at least my impression.

That's true, they love him in other countries, Europe, in China he's particularly popular, Australia etc. Like you say he's popular in the US especially with the media etc but his music doesn't do as well. He gets less radio play there although when he's interviews on radio shows they love him to bits. Lots of politics going on behind the scenes in music. Ryan loves Adam yet I get the impression he doesn't play his music as much as other people, probably not his decision, because you can tell he genuinely does like him a lot and they get on great in interviews and especially when he was a guest judge.
If Adam had a cold or sore throat for the Lisbon Show, he still sounded damn good (watch the 3 videos of the complete show posted previously).
I haven’t heard anything about Warner Bros. dropping him. Maybe when his new music is ready to be released we will hear more.

He didn't sound his best, but I'm glad he held back from some of the high notes. I don't want him to wreck his voice.
It was said on QOL that he no longer is on the Warner Bros website, that's how I found out. So it looks like something happened with WB.
PS...An AL fan shared that news on QOL before you spout your shit about me again.
I'm thinking whatever happened with WB is likely to put his solo music even further back. Just a thought, since has changed his mind about the music genre he was hoping to do. That could change again knowing AL :-/.

The Warner thing is because he'd disappeared from their page and some fan noticed and posted about it. Someone on Atop apparently with a friend who works for Warner says it's true he's no longer with them? I wouldn't be surprised, he's been giving enough hints in interviews that he's not prepared to compromise with this next album so it could be a creative opinion thing, who knows, either way I'm sure he'll be fine. He recently said, though I can't remember where that his fans should let him worry about the logistics of the business side of things and that he will be promoting his album next year so I'll take him at his word and wait for any announcements.

I wonder when he was removed from the WB site? Recently? No way to know I guess unless one follows that site closely.
I still don't think AL has enough pull to do what he wants. Could he actually go indie? Some people think the Safehouse record company is likely to snap him up.

I suspect he's only recently disappeared, one fan in particular seems to know his every move and follows him really closely so I'm sure she would have noticed pretty quickly. Safehouse would make sense, PhillyMack being his management and Safehouse being part of Universal, and Queen being under them, but could just be speculation. If he does go with them I'm sure he'll have a lot more freedom, that seems to be their thing anyway, allowing the artist to choose what direction to go. He's certainly been working with people he chooses on this one, they all seem to be actual friends of his.
It is funny that Icy thinks I am some kind of ultimate Glambert that defends AL at all costs and bigs him up (her words not mine!!) and loves everything he does. That is so far from the truth. To be honest, I would prefer him to sing Classical or even Operal. Like Brancelli, I think he has a marvelous voice. It touches me and I am in awe of his technique, but that voice is wasted on much of the music he sings. I listen to his music and I always enjoy his music (Glam Nation was my fav album) and I purchase all his music to listen to that voice. But I would be much happier if he sang something like "The prayer",the song from Brigadoon, or even a "Change is Going to Come". But as a fan you can only listen to what he has recorded and I make due with that. It's not that I don't like it, but I think he could do so much more with that voice. The reason I like him singing with Queen is because their music has depth and versatility and only phenomenal singers can sing their music. Adam gets to stretch out his voice and actually challenge it. Most of his music anyone can sing (although he does it best!). To me Queen;s music and Adam's voice is a match made in heaven because he uses every tool in his vocal arsenal to make it work. WWTLF and Save Me are beautiful renditions where the music equals the voice, not like Adam's own music where the music is nowhere equal to the voice. I don't know if that makes sense to anyone, but that is how I feel.
I also don't care how Adam looks, Icy. But for a performer good looks are always an asset. You keep misconstruing that, but that is your problem not mine. I also think there are a lot of decisions that he has made that certainly did not do him any favors, but it is his life and young people learn thru their mistakes, so to say I support everything is just not true. But I am not going to debate what I think were errors here on this board.
My last point has to do with something Icy said in another thread this morning, but I don't feel like posting there again. It was about how no one on a Queen board would ever make gay remarks about Adam because Freddie was gay. Your reading comprehension must be subpar because I can remember many such remarks in the past on QOL. Does Fairy Dandy come to mind, Icy? I was always appalled because I don't get how Queen fans could accept Freddie's being gay, but bash Adam for it. Many of the remarks are extremely crude and it isn't just on Queen boards, but I have also seen it from Queen fans elsewhere. I never could quite figure that one out.
To sum it up, while Adam is my favoite performer, there are many things that I think he could be doing differently, but it is his life, his music and I can only sit back and enjoy what he puts out there for me to enjoy. I also think that once QAL is over he will have a great career doing many other things. Why would anyone not want to sing with Brian and Roger? Saying No would be stupid. He loves them and loves performing with them. He is having a blast. He is also earning millions of dollars which will set him up later in life to do just what he wants to. I am sure we will see him on Broadway someday and on TV. I would be willing to bet he is never going to fade away. He is a hard working, mega talented, very intelligent young man who is extremely kind to others and that will set him up to be successful once QAL is over. I would bet on it. Here it is 10 years after Idol and he is stronger than ever in spite of folks predicting his demise weekly. I have no worries about Adam or his future.
I have been watching the three complete show videos from Lisbon and don’t agree that Adam was holding back or not hitting the high notes and was not at his best. Those three videos may have had better sound than the live streams or individual videos.
The audience was very receptive of the whole show and there is no doubt it was a huge success!
