Runner, do you call Freddie a ladyboy, too?

“The best concert I have ever witnessed... what a performance by Queen & Adam Lambert tonight - unbelievable!!! ??????
If Freddie was even better in Wembley 1986 what an experience that would have been.”

No even in drag Freddie was more classy than the overweight tranny that is singing now.

Strange definition of classy you have there then - don't see anything more classy about this than what Adam does, they both have fun with outfits and props. http://youtu.be/JGCjCl7GWVw?t=20s

Yep, rockchic, that youtube of Freddie is pretty tacky all right! And I think it is perfectly fine, as it is a SHOW, but I don't see why that is fine for Queen lovers, but they have a fit with what Adam wears. Also sitting on top of that dude is weird! At least Frank is inanimate. Seems like there are definitely double standards to me for sure. It is just different strokes for different folks that is all, but you can't say one is just great and criticize the other for something similar (although nothing Adam has done is that weird, just my opinion).
One more point. I had a discussion a month or so ago about Freddie and Adam's voices and mentioned that Adam's always sounds melodic and Freddies was more like a rock voice, more cut off and actually in this one, rather shouty. That is one of the biggest differences to me. Freddie never sounds as melodic and his singing is very stacato, chopped off phrases and often shouty sounding like this. They have a totally different sound. I always notice that he didn't sound in concert at all like in the recordings. Adam is actually a better live singer than in his recordings. There is some dynamic in his voice you just don't capture on his recorded music. It just sounds more sterile. I have seen each of his tours and was able to compare the live sound to my CD's and there is a huge difference whereas for most singers they never sound as good live. That to me is an unusual aspect of Adam's singing.

OMG that was awful. I never saw Freddie sitting on Superman’s shoulders. Was that considered “classy?”

Yeah Adam has an extremely melodic voice and it definitely works better live than recorded, partly I think because he gets a buzz from performing live and is encouraged to really go for it, where in the studio there's no one to interact with and having been a theater performer used to live audiences, I suspect he finds it hard to put that same level of intensity into it in a recording booth. Just my take on it, no idea it that really is the case.
That particular vid of Freddie is from the Jazz tour where he was having pretty bad problems with his voice, I only posted it for the outfit as it's not a good judge of his voice at all. I know what you mean as regards the difference in voices, Freddie used a more straight tone especially later in his career, if you listen to some early stuff his voice was far more melodic. He also had a thicker sounding voice, totally different voice type, where Adam is known for his melismatic legato singing, probably due to his classical training.
White Queen at the Hammersmith is one of my favourite performances of Freddie's and IMO better than the album version.

This one shows his more melodic voice as well - You Take My Breath Away.

Thanks so much! I am going to go and listen!!

Rockchic! Hi! It is nice to meet you and I always enjoy reading your posts. They are very calm and you make excellent points! You seem as if you are interested in Adam's voice, which I very much am. If you are not, please ignore, but if you are, there were a few really interesting posts on Adamtopia for the 7.7.18 (A day off) thread. Cassie (voice instructor, great friend of an opera singer, teacher) posts interesting things about the technical side of the voice. She had spoken with her friend who maintains that Adam would be a star in the opera world. Someone else comes in to dispute that and I found what she said fascinating. Her opinion is that Adam's voice is higher than the usual tenor and she goes on to deliieate the different "Facher" for a tenor voice and how just like in pop, his voice does not fit the parameters. She mentions how rigid opera is and we know Adam is def. loosey goosey! That might not have played so well on the opera stage. Adam did begin in the operatic, classical area, if you look at his first you tubes (and that is the music I love to hear him sing) and then he veered off into more popular music. It is a long post with interesting points. Adam is kind of a man without any specific category which is unusual nowadays.
I know Adamtopia can be a little extreme as in TMI. I am astounded at some of the stuff on there, just way tooo personal, but I do appreciate the info sometimes and this particular thread I found enlightening. Just wanted to pass it on!

Cheers for that, I'll have a look. Yeah I do find his voice very interesting and like the poster said very hard to categorize. I believe Cassie's friend thinks he's a legerio tenor most likely, and that probably does fit the best based on what he seems to be able to do with his voice.
I have read some of Cassie's posts but like you say Atop has a lot posts about his personal life which isn't my thing, scroll is definitely a friend on there lol.
I'm not really into classical music personally but I would like to hear him do one classical/opera song, without throwing in any rock screams, just to see how he'd sound now his lower register is more developed, it would definitely be interesting. That said the classical world is definitely not for him, he'd be bored rigid, it's far too restrictive. He did say he'd do theater again at some point and I could see him doing anything like that as a one off just not permanently.

Freddie sitting on someone's shoulders is tacky and awful? What the heck?
Thing is, I bet if AL did that, at least one person here would call it perfect, magnificent, spectacular, and magical. But when Freddie did it's awful and OMG.
Glambert logic at least by one person here is hypocritical.
