Sealion, glad you are able to see them in Cologne and London. I would have to go to Vegas again. Today is the exact day I went there last year.

It seems that most people are accepting Marc Martel’s voice subbing for Freddie’s voice on the biopic movie track! So it is only Lambert who is not acceptable after over 250 live shows? I think JSS has sung those songs in live performances as well as Celine and others.[/QUOTE]
A soundtrack that Marc is different than what AL is doing. If you can tell the difference...

VH : No Brian was not doing wrong for performing the songs he felt confident in singing and anyway he was a Queen member, on the other hand Adam Lambert should steer away from gem tracks Freddie never got to sing live, after all in my opinion if Freddie never got to sing them why should Lambert?[/QUOTE]
I'm with you on this, especially with the songs in the later albums. I feel Born To Love You, TSMGO, and IWIA should never have been sang by Adam.

I would be happy to hear more songs from these last three albums played by QAL. My dream would be Innuendo. Only problem is, that Brian seems to fear that song ever since the debacle at the tribute concert.:-(
Just because two of the loudest posters on this forum don’t want Brian and Roger to play these songs with Adam, that doesn’t mean, the majority of of the fans feel the same. Music is created to be played and heard. And if the original musician is gone, that doesn’t mean, others can‘t do it.
In this case, two of the original musicians are still active. If they want to play their own songs with Adam, they will do it. They won‘t ask anyone, thankfully.

Of course you would be happy. It would likely give AL the praise and attention his fans need and want for him.
Unlike you, I wouldn't even go there about what I think most fans would like to hear. I'm giving my take on it, and in agreement with another poster, especially with the last three Queen albums. Because those last three albums, it's obvious to some of us how hard Freddie worked on them heart and soul, while being ill. That means something, I dare say. You want to look at that as a loud poster,go right ahead.
Like I say, rehearsing isn't a piroity for Q+AL so I don't expect the catalogue to be delved into very much at all. Pretty much a Greatest Hits type of shows. Might be fortunate if DOOL is a part of the shows, but I even doubt that.

I think Adam was born to sing I Was Born To Love You!

Yes, Freddie worked hard on these albums. So did the rest of the band (fortunately they were not fatally ill, but working with your dying friend isn’t easy either).
Because they worked so hard, these songs should be spread and heard by many.
I agree with you, that there are some songs, that shouldn’t be touched (Mother Love for instance).
But TSMGO is played by so many other artists (and often not really good), that the audiences love it. It’s a highlight at every show, when they play it.

Those songs are heard by many these days, adverts, radio etc.
Sure, they all worked hard. Not disagreeing with you on that, and yes I'm sure it was hard. I will have always have respect for Brian, Roger and John for protecting Freddie and working with him. If there was ever a time I think of the band as brothers, it was then. Frankly, what they created was out of this world, more often than not. I can honestly say I even like Delilah *ducks*.
How many of those artists sang TSMGO with Brian and Roger, out of all the covers? Very few, I think. Again, singing it with Brian and Roger is different than other artists singing it during their own shows. I don't think it was ever easy for Brian and Roger to play TSMGO live, it's poignant, but AL doesn't need to sing it. He never did.

TSMGO is the first song Brian and Roger wanted Adam to sing with them at the EMAs in Belfast in 2011!

If Chris Daughtry could sing Innuendo on American Idol backed by Queen, I don't think there are any restrictions on what Adam can sing when he tours for the 6th year with Queen. Whatever Queen feels fit to sing, is what they can perform. I don't understand why it is OK for others to sing some of the "not sung by Freddie songs" , but Adam can't. Your animus is surely showing. Also Icy, no one wants Adam to sing these so he can be praised by his fans. What a stupid idea! I doubt the average concert goer would have a clue as to whether or not Freddie sang a certain song live. Only some of you die hard Adam haters could ever come up with such an odd complaint, but that doesn't surprise me a bit. It would just be fun to hear a different song for a change. One of my fav Adam songs is IWBTLY and it makes no difference to me if Freddie sang it live or not.

I love Chris, I'm a big fan of his, but I'd feel the same way if he were to sing any songs from the last three Queen albums with Brian and Roger. I would not want him to.
I'm not hating on AL here. It just gives me a very odd feeling when he sings something live that Freddie did not sing live, in a nutshell.
Sorry to break it to you but IWBTLY isn't an AL song. It's a Freddie solo song that was reworked for Made In Heaven. I guess no surprise, you call it one of your favorite Adam songs. Badly worded there.
No, it doesn't matter to you, of course it does not matter to some Glamberts, I don't think they care what AL sings as long as he is the only one to sing the songs. Rest assured, it maters to some of us however. I'm glad it's Roger who sings DOOL and not AL. I cringe thinking of how AL could banter and f**k around with a song like DOOL. He has no qualms about STL and the god awful banter regarding that song.
You bet, I don't want to hear AL singing songs from the last three albums. Nope, I wasn't asked by Brian and Roger what my thoughts were/are, but I will give my POV about things, even if I'm the only one who feels this way about it.

IMO so many people cover Queen songs, a lot badly, in local pubs/clubs, tribute shows etc, no song should be off limits for the guys who had a hand in creating them, regardless who they have singing with them. I could have lived without Robert Plant doing innuendo, but only because it was a train wreck, not because I think he shouldn't be allowed to do it. By now I'd say Adam's earned the right to sing whatever he wants, but I still don't expect any changes tbh.
