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
YOu should not take opinions seriously who talk about "FREDDY"
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.
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.
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!
