It's the kind of soulless vocal gymnastics that becomes tiresome really quickly. There's no heart and soul there. [/QUOTE]
TFM was never one of my favorite songs by AL. Songs like that used to be a dime a dozen, Whitney Houston, Mariah Carey, Celine Dion, and AL trying to sing a power ballad in that vein, failed as it wasn't original. Sometimes less is more , I think that's the case for TFM.

I agree with you about his choice of songs at the AMA's. FYE was a song that was always difficult for him to sing live, which you can hardly say about any of his other songs. He was so off key in parts of that song, that I cringed. Since then I have never heard him out of tune at all. Normally he is right on with no off key issues night after night. He is amazing in that regard, but that one night, he wasn't. America was set to embrace him and he flubbed, plus his actions (which I didn't have a problem with!) sealed the deal for him. America was much more conservative then and middle America was apalled! I often wonder that if he had chosen another song and if he had behaved more sedately, where would he be now? Probably not singing with Queen, so maybe it is a good thing that it happened the way it did! I guess actions have consequences and you never know what is in your future, one little slip and your whole future is changed.
It is a shame, however, that they quickly ditched the video and the song, because that video was amazing! It never got the accolades it should have, due to the whole mess. It is a piece of art, IMO. Loved it![/QUOTE]
I never would have thought FYE was difficult for him to sing. Maybe these days he could song it no problem. I remember watching the AMAs, I liked his performance of it. FYE is one of my favorite songs and videos he has done, I love the whole vibe of it.
AL is doing more than ok for himself these days. He lived and he has learned, and still is living and learning. But what a statement he mad with the AMAs, possibly too early in his career to kiss a same sex band mate onstage. I had no problems with that either. These days, it probably wouldn't make a ripple.
What's done is done, but I think AL ended up stronger because of it.

Time For Miracles never “failed” because it was never given a chance. The video was never broadcast on TV and the recording never played on the radio. The only place it was heard was over the credits at the end of the 2012 movie and most moviegoers were exiting the theater after sitting through all of the disasters in that film.

I was one of those movie goers who sat till the very end just for that song! It was quite popular in Asia for some reason and I am not sure that he ever sang it live? I do know that Brian heard the song and said his knees turned to jelly after hearing it because of that voice. He was really impressed withh TMI for some reason and that could also be part of the reason he was so impressed with Adam and tried to actively recruit him for the band. It was a lovely song, but not really too mainstream. It ceertainly did show off his voice! Tough song to sing.

Yeah Adam said it was a killer to sing. He did sing it live once but only a stripped down acoustic ballad version. I think of it as a throwback to the kind of soft rock a lot of bands did back in the 70's, driving anthems. I heard Brian talking about it and it definitely shows off his vocal ability. Rob Cavallo wanted him for it after hearing him on Idol, pity he's no longer head of Warner, he loved Adam.

The song is a shitty power ballad, the video is crap and WTF has Lamefarts crappy solo music to do in a QAL thread. SC is again going awol on here posting every crap she finds about this asshole. She is more responsible that lots of Queen fans hgate him than bringing him new fans, She clearly needs to see shrink- and I mean it seriously. It has become a real disease. STalking this wanker and his crap music

If you don't like what is posted here, get the heck out and don't let the door hit you on the way out, creepo! Talk about stalking, you must be the same wanker who stalks Adam all over the internet and posts total crap. Can't recognize yourself???
Well, that was the best livestream Evah (as they say in NE)! I have listened to maybe 25 livestreams over the years and this one was amazing. The girl streaming must have been in the perfect spot as the music to voice mixture was just right. You coud hear every note Adam sang very clearly and the talking was as if it was in my room. I could hear every word Brian and Roger said and heard their vocals perfectly. I wish they were all like this. I guess the best concert of the tour is the one after a number of concerts, but then they take a short break (5 days) and come back rested, but totally comfortable with the music.
I did notice that Adam is getting much better with TSMGO. Previous years it was a little off, not quite as good as the other songs, which is weird because he usuallly shines on slower songs. But this song today was really, really good, getting as good as WWTLF which is my favorite. I wish they had taped this concert. I do so want a professionally taped Blue Ray of a QAL current QAL concert! Please Santa!!! Hope you are listening!!

I couldn't tune into the streams today, busy as hell here. Was there any changes set list wise?
I think all Q+AL concerts are recorded, snifflese, if it ends up being released that's another thing altogether. I'd rather a live DVD than a studio album, honestly. I can't warm up to AL singing TSMGO at all or WWTLF. That's the two songs which many people give him high praise for. Oh well, at least there is Save Me, and I didn't expect to like that so much. AL surprised me with that, heck, I even surprised myself because it's one of 'the' Queen songs for me.

I saw TFM on MuchMusic and MuchMoreMusic a few times. To say it wasn't seen...not exactly true.
Maybe song the should have been in the movie, instead of the credits. Whoever placed it in the credits...not a good choice.

Is there a video of that version?
It does remind me of the power ballad type of song. And I like my fair share of power ballads lol. I think if AL had it placed in the movie, or
it had nothing to do with the movie, maybe it would have fared better?

Bryan Adams' "(Everything I do) I do for you" played over the credits of the Robin Hood movie and was an enormous success when released as a single from the movie soundtrack.

It wasn't Adam's song, the producer Rob Cavallo saw him on Idol and wanted him to sing the soundtrack for him so he didn't have any say in how they used it but I was surprised it was only for the credits, IMO it would have worked well in the movie. This is the live one, he only did it a few times - https://youtu.be/A4yge6OItpQ

But Bryan Adams was already hugely successful by the time Robin Hood came out, TFM was released in 2009 straight after Adam came off Idol. Also power ballads weren't particularly popular by that point, might have been a different story back in the 90's.

Let's be honest, it wouldn't matter what he sang or how he sang it, you would still say it was crap because you just don't like the guy, so that being the case your opinion is completely pointless and irrelevant.
