It makes us want to vomit to read your garbage. Just FYI the idea that Adam can't sing is delusional. There is a music teacher who has opera performer friends and is extremely well versed in the classical kind of music where there are REAL singers, not autotuned bots, and she made an interesting comment on one of the sites I read. This is a bonafide musical person who has spent her whole life critiquing and teaching and she knows her stuff and often talks about the technical aspects of Adam's voice. There was a High E (5th octave I think!) in UP in one of the last concerts and she talked about its clarity and tone and that there were only about 5 classical singers in the operatic world who could even hit that note and they could not hit it with the accuracy and ringing bell tone that Adam can. He has an EXTRAORDINARY voice, whether or not your ears can hear it. It may not be your cup of tea and that is fine. I know Freddie's voice was lower, more raspy and his style of singing was different. In comparsion you may prefer that type of voice, which is fine. But you can't say that Adam can't sing. That is ridiculous. Makes me wonder why you hate him so much, because after reading here about your trollish behavior on many other sites, it is a sick obsession with you and there must be a reason, not a healthy one I am sure.
Same agaib -. hitting a high note does not make you a good singer what is there not to understand. He may hit the high so what but he has no feel and his voice is completely powerless and thin. And look at his solostuff. If he was such a fab singer he would not need all those studio effects including heav autotuning. A great singer does not need this.
And I hate him for making a sad joke out of my once fave bad, makes Brian and ROger look like poor lost granddaddies that have lost the plot. The collaboration is is so laughable that it hurts. Never has a band of this status made such a fool out of themselves. Imagin "U2 plus AL" or "Rolling Stones plus AL" - unbelievable for any iconic band teaming up with such a tosser. But Queen does the unthinkable and hires this sad joke
Like him or loathe him, it is difficult to argue he can't sing. I do understand people not liking his voice or his phrasing though. When he started with Queen he was using his vibrato far too much for my liking but I don't think that is true anymore. How much of that is him toning it down or me getting used to it I've no idea because I don't go back and compare. I enjoy the show in the moment then move on.

Adam has never needed autotuning in his life, it's a stylistic effect for the type of music he was doing (EDM), do you seriously think they autotune you onstage in a musical theater production, or when he was singing in clubs etc before he went on Idol? You're right that hitting a high note doesn't automatically make you a great singer to listen to, but being able to consistently hit those notes all the time shows technical ability that a lot of opera singers would kill for, they are classed as great if they can consistently hit the high C without faltering or cracking, therefore it shows he has great technique. The thin powerless comment has been addressed over and over, you are completely wrong as anyone who's seen him live can tell you, IMO you are confusing the sound of someone's voice like Freddie who had a deeper richer tone with lack of power, not the same thing at all. As to the rest of your comment, that's your perception and not the reality of what the majority of people are thinking at all.
I can imagine U2 or Rolling Stones with Adam fronting them. Check YouTube for his fabulous live versions of “One” and “Satisfaction” !!!!!
I agree with "go" in that he initially used way too much vibrato. I know vibrato is a way to help protect your voice and Adam had a vocal coach for many years into his twenties and studied opera for a couple of years. Some of his first youtubes have a few performances with opera singers singing The Prayer and Shir Lashalom and similar music on a TV telethon. He was probably trained classically to use a lot of vibrato. I do know in one of the interviews recently he mentioned how he was worried about if his voice could do a tour for several hours a night singing Queen's music which is vocally very demanding. He didn't make a big deal of it or anything. It was mentioned in answer to worries that he had in the beginning. Perhaps he was feeling himself out initially and it took a while to see what his voice could do night to night and also once your voice is used to a schedule like QAL's, I am sure his voice can take more stress on it. He definitely sings with half the vibrato he did years ago. I don't think we have just gotten used to it. It just isn't there to the same degree. In the first show I thought there was too much vibrato in PTG and even mentioned it here and since then there is less and less.
In addition to the curtailing of the vibrato, his voice has changed. It can go much deeper with more resonance which is helpful in the heavier rock songs. He also has learned not to throw in quite so many riffs and crazy high notes unless it is definitely called for. Hitting those notes and singing those riffs is part of his musical DNA, but I think he has reached a more pleasing balance between too much and too little. One of the things that is amazing about his voice is the passagio in that he can sing from high to low and everywhere in between using head voice, chest voice and mixed voice. He can hit those extremely high notes in head voice, which hardly anyone can. Most males need falsetto, which Adam rarely uses. In fact, it is the weakest part of his voice. He had to sing some of TOH in falsetto and when touring gave it up and sang those notes in head voice. It makes sense, as most people use falsetto to hit the notes they can't reach(like Sam Smith and his breathy falsetto which wouldn't do for Queen's music). Adam can reach those high, high notes with the regular part of his voice. His technique is superb and I just find it astonishing the runner and Happy don't understand this!

Just based on those two covers?
Erm... I don't think the Stones and U2 will ever need AL to be a part of those bands. Last time I looked, Jagger and Bono are still a part of their respective bands.

If you haven’t been to a LIVE show you should shut the “F” up because you don’t know what the “F” you are talking about![/QUOTE]
That again. You should remember that the next time you bitch and moan about Adele and Sam Smith, and everyone else you don't like.
What you mean by "riffs" ? A riff is something Brian does not Lamebird. Ha cannot play any instrument - instead he is acting like a dick on stage while Freddie was working his ass off on the Piano (Killer Queen for example)
I actually heard "One" and "Satisfaction" by him - hard to imagine there are worse covers than he does with QAL - but he does. The worst cover ever though was his yodeling thru "WHole lotta love" - I have never heard such a crap
version in my whole life.
Have you been to see Sam and Adele? LOL. Just who have you seen in person since you like to portray yoursef as such an expert?

No. And nor have you, but you have made it clear that you don't like them or their music. Yet, you have much to say about people who don't go to Q+AL concerts. I'm not an expert about anything, but you are a hypocrite. Your comeback for years now has been about some people who don't go to these shows. It's not that a big of a deal to anyone but you. Why?
I'm glad I like other music. There a big world out there after all. I'm not ashamed by what I like.

A riff is also another word for a vocal run so yeah Adam does riffs. One of the reasons Spike was brought into the group in the 80's was to free Freddie up from the piano, it's non compulsory for a singer to sit at a piano or play an instrument.
Well tell that Elton John and Billy Joel you mega Expert. *facepalm in shame* you do ANYTHING to back up this nonmusician don't you?

He has improved. Some songs I don't think I will ever like hearing him sing though, Stone Cold Crazy is one.
