5 reasons to QAL:

1) AL sounds like a goat
2) AL looks like an overweight tranny on CSD
3) AL mocks Freddie (couch/coronet) and is total disrespectful
4) Their have become their own tasteless tribute act
5) Lamebert has no connection to Rock music whatsoever - this is a Vegas Queen Musical (in a bad way)

5 reasons to ignore runner _70

Actually only need 1, he talks utter claptrap.

Agreed, but here are five anyway

1) AL has a voice that can cope with the range of Queen's material
2). AL to my knowledge has never appeared on stage with Queen in drag, so the word tranny is redundant.
3). AL shows Freddie, the band, songs and audience huge respect and has a shared sense of humour with them and Freddie.
4) Like loads of other bands they have a different lineup to the original, three members from the 84-86 live band are still on stage, hardly a tribute
5) Freddie had no connection to opera but pulled off Barcelona in the same way AL does what he does!

Runner_70 Thanks for that and you are spot on with your comments.
Lambert is a total embarrassment to rock n roll fans all over the world.

VH Sure Freddie had no connection to opera but pulled Barcelona off but he did write the song and he has always been original and not like Lambert singing a rock legends music for a living. Adam Lambert has looked like a tranny many times so you go take a look at the last ten years of Lambert.

You obviously have a greater interest in him than I do. It doesn't matter what he looked like ten years ago, he hasn't looked that way in the last 6 years while touring with Queen.

We're not talking about song writing we're talking about singing performance, or is every singer in the world who isn't a writer not a good singer? Let's start with Frank Sinatra?

Lets just say Lambert is not worthy of been in a band like Queen.
Each Queen member is multi talented and proved there place in the band, on the other hand Lambert just sings the songs like a night on the town and like many other tribute singers,
he is hardly original or special.

Not Brian & Roger's opinion of him, they take his views seriously and he does a lot more than just sing the songs like a tribute act. He might joke around but he takes what he's doing seriously and he has input into the show, he doesn't just turn up to sing. Yeah Freddie was multi talented, he played instruments and wrote some amazing music, no one's taking that away from him but for the current situation Adam is more than worthy of the job he's doing, which doesn't involve him having to play instruments or write Queen music. And I've no idea what kind of Tranny's you've seen but nothing he's worn onstage with Queen would qualify as a Tranny outfit. Last I checked he's never worn women's clothes onstage.

Well at least you have to give credit to his clothes: He is wearing butcher's clothes at the beginning of the show. Pretty fitting as he butchers Queen songs for the next 2 hrs. At least I can finally say sth positive about him

Vocal Harmony - last tme I checked SPike was never an official QUeen member so your point of having 3 original members on stage is silly

Well if we're being pedantic 2 original members and one honorary member.

Spike was only considered a stand in musician and i think he was rarely seen on stage, apart from a guest appearance when "Hammer to Fall" was played.

happystar makes no sense to argue with clueless Lametards about a certain group that stopped in 1991 does it?

I think they consider him more than a stand in musician, certainly now since he's musical director and he's been in both their solo projects as well. He's often named as the unofficial fifth band member.

Read my post again. I said the 84-86 LIVE band. . . Musicians that played live in the band NOT the original four recording members. So yeah there are three people on stage playing in the same way they have since 1984. That simple enough to understand isn't it?

When you watch all of Brians selfie stick videos, it becomes clear that a lot of people at the front row (not all) are either Lambert fans, or people that have heard Greatest Hits 1 and became hooked.
