That's something you posted on QOL more than once. Now here. Im not bothered to watch it again. Mind you don't repeat yourself.
Why aren't you on QOL? Thought you'd be there posting, especially so close to the tour starting up.
Anyways, since AL is now in London, I hope there's time to get a few rehearsals in.
I think I know why you are posting these here now. To stir the pot. I know you have posted most of all of these vids on QOL before.
Do you really expect or hope any Queen fan here and on QOL will suddenly think and say AL is better than Freddie? I bet you do.
I don't know why you keep comparing them, except to stir the pot.
I'll say this, Freddie was and still is a better writer, producer, vocalist, entertainer than AL could ever dream to be.

Shut up icy. I’ve never seen any of those videos let alone posted them. Not saying anyone is better. Just think it is interesting to see them side by side.
Mind your own business instead of mine.

98% of Glamsters are girls now does that tell you something? It says that many are not bother about the music they just fancy Lambert
but just like Barry Manilow who cheated his female audiences for years then admitted he was gay and broke there hearts, Lambert fans are that dense
even though they know he is homosexual and still lust after him.
typical eh ![/QUOTE]
Adam's been out since day one so no cheating going on and do you really think that's all they're interested in? Some of his female fans might fancy him but it's still his voice and personality they are really interested in. And your figures are skewed, you said you're on facebook so you can't have failed to notice all the guys posting about him on there as well.
Also if all his female fans just fancy him why did they go nuts screaming etc every time he kissed his bass player on tour? The majority really don't care that he's gay, there's far more to him than his sexuality, it goes way deeper than that.
[/QUOTE]
No different to Freddie's female fans back in the day, apart from the fact that Freddie wasn't open (in public) about his sexuality. I think the simple answer here to happystar's hatred of Lambert is down to the him fancying Freddie, he's had a teen fanboy crush on Freddie since he first became aware of him and his own sexuality, he can't except another gay man Standing in Freedie's place on stage, performing Queen songs to the people Freddie used to perform too. . .
That is happystar's problem, but he will never admit to it, he'll come back with a load of crap about Lambert and probably some abusive comments directed at me, as usual!

Oh dear. You are telling me to shut up again. Have I hit a nerve?
And I was sure you said you were done posting until June 7th in this very thread. Hmm, didn't last half a day. Not even a few hours.
Oh yes, you have seen those before, unless you posted them without watching them. You haven't seen it before, that's your usual excuse.
If you can't handle other views, then why post the comparison videos in the first place? Haven't you learned anything from doing it before?
Sorry, open forum and thread. When you post stuff, on Queen boards be prepared not everyone is going to feel the same way you do about Adam. It's silly and stupid the way you compared Freddie and AL through the years, and here you are doing it again...to shit stir, your response here is everything I need to know.
Actually, glad in a way to see you here. It was only late yesterday I noticed you haven't been on QOL for the last few days. I didn't know if you were visiting your family or sick.
Feel free to tell me to shut up, to say I'm stalking you, and to get snifflese to rage at/about me again.

Some think AL has replaced Freddie. And some think AL is the new singer of Queen. Because you know, some Glamberts and some media say that, and some Glamberts lap it up. Way of gloating, I guess.

Glamberts cant see he has no talent, he cant write music, he cant play piano or any instrument for that matter, he is just a wannabee pop lovey.
He is like a little girl playing around with make up and outfits but hes singing voice is mediocre plain.[/QUOTE]
Well, angry person, you cannot even write a coherent sentence.
'He is like a little girl playing around with make up and outfits....?' Yeah,....Freddie, Brian, Roger, and John never did that.......
Me thinks you blew yet another fuse from your angst. Time to reset (or disappear)

Is that a serious question?
Well lets see, or more to the point why wouldn't they want to support him? The guy was asked to sing with one of his favourite bands, to cover for one of his favourite singers, who he admired greatly and cites as an influence. Just how many people given that opportunity would refuse? He's honoured to be asked and lets not forget he's covering for someone who sadly died, he didn't usurp or replace him. Added to that he's totally respectful of Freddie and the band's legacy, not arrogant, still considers himself a guest and always say's there's no comparing to Freddie. I'm finding it hard to see why people wouldn't respect and support someone like that. Won't be everyone's taste as a singer but that's a totally different thing.
I completely fail to see what playing an instrument has to do with anything, just because Freddie did doesn't mean everyone has to. There's enough instrumentalists in the band, he doesn't need to and when he does his solo stuff he can hire a band, that's what people do, no biggie. He writes music or co writes although again no idea why that matters, he's meant to be singing Queen songs on tour, no writing needed.
If he likes to wear make up and play dress up, so what, his choice, he's not harming anyone. Seriously, if you objectively look at all that your complaints are just bizzare and make no sense whatsoever.

I wouldn’t bother answering. Happystar has a problem and that is nothing, that reasoning with him can cure.

See, thing is some Glamberts think AL is the new singer for Queen and has replaced Freddie. Check out snifflese's post in this very thread. Even AL says he is a guest and hasn't replaced Freddie...and I give him credit and thank him for that.
I don't get the big deal if someone doesn't like AL in his solo career or singing the Queen songs. I don't think I can ever understand the defense and protection some Glamberts do for AL. It's not mandatory that people like AL. Credit to you and sealion, I think you are both cool, even with our disagreeing on some things.
I will say this again. Q+AL has lasted longer than I ever thought it would. And I hope Q+AL isn't the end of Brian and Roger being musicians...of course no musicians stops being one by retirement, but I think and I hope there is more to come from Brian and Roger yet, Queen vaults, solo music...who knows.
