Two things: Adam is not a novice singer. He has been a stage performer since age 10. Also he does not have weird looks. He is a very handsome man. When not on stage he wears baseball caps, sandals, jean shorts and looks like any other young man his age!
Stop hating on him. If you are a fan of the original Queen band, give Brian and Roger credit that they would never be touring with him if he wasn’t qualified as a vocalist, entertainer and genuinely good and caring human being!

Yes Lambert sings Freddies vocals and that is it! Nothing creative going on there is there?
Lots of tribute bands do it every night so they do not make people want to buy Queens music either or is it just Adam who has the knack to make everyone want to buy a Queen album then?
Lambert is a crumb on the music landscape and just off the record i have seen some pics of him on face book looking rather transgender with massive platform heels and a fur coat , so tell me that is not cross dressing then?Yes Freddie done it because it was a mickey take for Coronation Street but Lambert is quite serious with his dress sense and that is the difference here.
Cant imagine any straight man who supports Lambert in any shape or form.
You cannot take any American idol contestant serious really ![/QUOTE]
High heels. I guess Paul Stanley and Gene Simmons are both transgender then?
Fur coat, would that be what Freddie wore for Killer Queen on TOTP in 74
False tits, a pink top and black wig on stage during The Works tour. . If the cap fits
Copying Freddie's vocals, he doesn't, he puts his own creative colour into what he sings. Tribute singer try to sound like the artist they are covering, AL doesn't do that.
No straight males at any of the shows, ok if that WAS true which it isn't, they have the biggest gay following in the world. Why would that be a problem?
Most successful world wide live period since 80/85. Boo hoo happystar it's happening and you ain't stopping it.

^I agree with your post, vocal harmony.
Plus: He saw a pic on face book and is now sure, that Lambert takes his clothes seriously. Of course...

No offense, but I half blame QAL supporters for all this mess in the forum. Stop feeding the trolls!
We have interesting stuff to talk about, I've seen great discussions here about setlists, soundchecks, healthy comparisons between AL tours, PR tours and Freddie days tours. I come back here every so often to get some news about the current tour. THEY don't have much to discuss, as there's nothing new for THEM going on. Queen's gone with Freddie Mercury and every couple of years they can grab a new compilation of old songs or new release of some old concert which we've all seen/heard on bootlegs. We could just ignore them until they're as bored of trying to spam the QAL discussions as they are of listening the same versions of the same songs for the past 3 decades or so. But you guys are keeping them entertained by arguing with them, and now the QAL section of the forum is a big useless mess where I can't find anything relevant about QAL as there are 10 posts about this silly AL x FM fight for each interesting post.

Yes this is QUEENZONE you know to celebrate the FOUR members of a certain rock group called QUEEN. Freddie Brian Roger & John. Why Adam Lambert is mentioned on here i do not know, you have stated many times he is only a guest and i know he will have his own website somewhere instead of the girls sabotaging this one.
Many Lamberts fans do not even discuss QUEEN on here its all about pussy boy, how great he is, what he is up too what he wears etc,...... please go and discuss that else where.
Adam Lambert is a teenybop performer like Donny Osmond was back in the 70s and what he is doing now is unoriginal from the songs he sings to his ridiculous clothes he wears which by the way are 44 years too late.

You have missed the point of Raf's comment, this is the QAL part of QUEENZONE, there are other threads dedicated to Queen so why can't there be a thread dedicated to Queen +. The logical thing would be for anyone not interested in QAL to not read this part of the site, that way everyone could chat about the things they are interested in without every discussion being derailed. Like it or not, and yes we know you don't, QAL is here to stay for the foreseeable and so temporarily Adam is a current member of the touring band and will be talked about. Every time someone starts a thread on the QAL part it gets derailed by negativity and I know Raf said don't feed the trolls but you would have to get every single person to ignore all the negative comments, never happens on any forum I've seen unfortunately.
As to Adam's fans going on other sites, some probably do but for some fans like me who are interested in the music and not his private life those sites are annoying. I really don't want to see copies of every instagram post he's liked in the past few days posted over and over along with pics of ornaments in his house and a discussion of if said ornament was previously in this or that room. Scroll really is your friend on those sites and it's tedious, just not my thing. As to him being a teenybob, seriously, that's just rubbish.

Sometimes the 'news' of the day on Adamtopia is which tweets, Instagram pics, AL liked and who he followed. Who is staying at his house, walking his dog, even the way the way said dog is walked. Who AL is partying with, even going as far to post what his ex and AL's friends post on social media. Any tweet and least little thing that mentions AL is posted about. Very invasive IMO. I know this because I actually read Adamtopia every now and then.
Queen fans can get a bad rap by many Glamberts, but I've never seen Queen fans behave like that.
I wouldn't call AL a teenybopper( although some of his fans have crushes on AL that sort of reminds me of the Wham days when I was crushing on GM ) and I admit AL does have talent, but he needs to break free, no pun intended.. He didn't appear on American Idol this year, and I hope that means he is leaving that behind. When this leg of the Q+AL tour is very, AL says he will get back to the studio. To start over? To put finishing touches on his music? Now he is no longer without a record company...if he doesn't end up with one it's going to be very hard for him. Maybe some other company is waiting in the wings to snap him up. Maybe AL will give a hint or be straightforward when this tour is over. TOH is just over three years old now, it's basically him singing covers since then.

If Lambert had any decency and ambition he would leave Queen and get on with his own business.
He has been hanging on to them for over 10 years now so it is time he proved he has talent and go his own way, instead of hiding behind
two rock legends.

He's been touring with them since 2012, that would be less than ten years.
He isn't hanging on to "them" he was asked to front the band for the purpose of touring, which he agreed to do and "they" seem happy with the arrangement, which millions of people around the world seem to agree with.
Why can't you accept that. You font have to like it (you clearly don't) but your constant moaning and repeated condemnation is tiresome, old hat and achieves nothing.

Adam has toured with Queen on and off for 6 years since 2012, not 10 years, while also doing worldwide solo tours for 3 albums. He is like the Energizer bunny balancing many projects at the same time.
Why does it bother certain people what he does or doesn’t do? If you do not like him, leave him alone and go to the websites of the entertainers you do like.
These threads are for Queen + Adam Lambert, not for the original Queen. The original Queen legacy lives on despite Queen + Adam Lambert. Go post on those threads instead of bitching about Adam. He will be here as long as they all want the collaboration to continue!

I agree, I wish I could remember where but he did an interview recently where he was asked about how long he intended to carry on with the QAL thing and about his own music and he said that Brian & Roger love touring, they all enjoy working together and he feels because it's obviously gonna be time limited he will carry on as long as they want him to. He said they're friends now, not just work colleagues and that's what you do with friends, in other words not just drop them when it suits you because you've other things going on. I'm paraphrasing as I can't remember the exact wording but that was the gist of what he meant. He also said about his own music, different interview, that he can write and record it but there's a lot of business stuff behind the scenes that has to get sorted before you can put out an album. He clearly can't talk about any of that yet but he was working on it right up until leaving for the tour and is hoping to have it finished before Vegas.
I don't see the Queen thing as hanging onto them, it's a mutually beneficial arrangement that's making a hell of a lot of fans as well as themselves happy, why would they want to stop whilst they can still do it.

Howabout that they are boring the hell out of us all playing the same old karaoke hits year in year out yawn yawn yawn.............
There are loads of Queen tribute acts out there doing the same.
One thing you cannot agree and that is they are not original anymore, that boat has sailed and as far as i am concerned Queen are done !

happystar, short of resurrecting Freddie from the. grave, this is the best they can do!
BTW if Freddie were still here and still performing, I bet he would also be performing the “same old same old” songs! You are being ridiculous!
