Rockchic: How on earth can anybody prefer Adam Lambert over the mighty Freddie Mercury it is not possible unless they have serious crap tastes in music and do not have a clue?
We know there is nothing to be gained by crowing on about it but it helps dampen down the overloaded hype for Lambert.
Lambert was over hyped the moment he appeared on American idol and its continued and to be honest i cannot see the appeal at all.
He is a bland boring performer who just got lucky and Queen will be the biggest thing he ever gets to do in his life.

There are people who don't like Queen or their music, hard to believe I know but I personally know of one or two who either don't like them or are indifferent. Fans of anyone always think how can everybody not like them, it's human nature to think what we like is brilliant, but if they are young they may not have been exposed to Queen music and have grown up liking other things, so obviously if they encountered Adam before Queen they may prefer his voice, that's the way things tend to work.

As to being over hyped, lots of people in the industry would disagree, there's even people on here who've seen the show and don't like his voice or performance style but still say technically he's brilliant as a singer, so saying he's over hyped or can't sing doesn't hold water, the two things aren't the same.

End of the day nothing anyone say's is going to change Brian & Roger's mind so why not ignore Adam related stuff on this part of the forum and leave it to people who do like the collaboration.

He sucks technically as well- he is sreeching , his vibrato is annoying and he has no timing at all. Spare us the comments like "it is on purpose" please - it is embarrassing enough already

He doesn't suck technically, whatever you may choose to believe far too many knowledgeable people know differently. No one's saying you have to like his voice but keep saying he can't sing is idiotic and aside from anything else insults Brian & Roger's intelligence.

Runner, you are basically a piece of human Dreck or you couldn't possible write the vile things that you do! You obviously know nothing about music or the voice in particular. Otherwise you would know that Adam has one of the finest voices around. Anyone who has worked with him mentions that amazing voice. There have been many, many music teachers, opera performers and directors that have praised him to high heaven for his voice. Fans almost always mention it in tweets, facebook etc. Other performers with great voices bow to him after they hear him sing live. Martel, Pentatonix, and too many others have praised his voice. The fact that you don't appreciate it just at all, shows that your don't understand singing at all. You may not like the sound or the way he uses it, but almost everyone acknowledges that he has an amazing instrument. You are one of the few, who doesn't like the way he sounds! AND that is not a problem, but the way you go about it is ugly at best.

I hate the way he sounds and looks AND have ears that he is not able to carry a tune without his annoying vibrato. You Glamfuckers mix up "Hitting high notes" with "being able to sing": He is ALWAYS one or two seconds or even more off behind the music or vice versa. YOu cann call this "intentional" when it is in one song but not in EVERY FUCKING SONG this annoying tool sings. Just shows he isnt able to sing in a live environment. Full stop.

Lets get back to this "good voice " that you mention time and time again shall we! As we know Adam is singing legendary Queen music, so when that is over and he has to go back
to his bland solos career with the crap solo music then people will start to realise it was only the Queen songs that made him appear amazing, in fact if you have a good song sometimes lack of vocal ability gets you through the bad times and Lambert really is out cut out for rock n roll, he was in musicals was he not like "Wicked" which suits he voice more.
Leave the rock n roll theme to the icons like Mercury, Jagger, Plant, Bowie, etc.......... All i am saying here is Lambert could find something else better to suit his vocal range, but murdering Queens back catalogue night after night is pretty painful.

Amen @happy

Keep saying that shows how ridiculous you are being, don't you think by now people in the know, people who've worked with him, in theater, live tech guys, anyone who's reviewed a live show, other musicians, both the Queen guys and his solo backing bands, the guy from Idol who did all the song arranging and has said he'd work with Adam on anything anytime and has played piano for him at some live events, one of them would have said something if you were right. People wouldn't quote him as being one of the best live singers alive today if he were even close to being as bad as you make out, he's not a big enough deal commercially to be able to bribe all these people to sing his praises so what exactly would they get out of raving about him if they were talking rubbish?

You've just contradicted yourself, read what you said back. You're quoting the legendary Queen music in the context of that making him sound better than he actually is and then saying it doesn't suit his voice and is painful, it can't work both ways.

Also he was known for his voice straight away, long before he worked with Queen, that's what got him noticed all the way through Idol and his first tour especially, all the insane stuff he could do with his voice, so that's not gonna change after the Queen stuff ends.

He did start out in musicals and classical singing but although I've no doubt he could be great doing that if he wanted his tendency to prefer wailing out rock style doesn't suit that environment and if you listen to any of them they all start out how they should and veer off into Axl territory part way through, he clearly much prefers to sing rock or contemporary music to the sedate classical stuff.

He cant sing rock with his annoying powerless paperthin shrieking womans voice.

Again none of that is technical, just your warped opinion. Come back with some proper facts - I'll start you off.

Runs or yodeling to you
etc

Rockchic: I meant the Queen songs he sings helps him escape many from noticing how bad a singer he is, and as( Runner) rightly pointed out he sings high like a woman and he does shriek at times with his tongue out! He really is only suited to basic musicals i think, he aint a proper show man or innovator for anyone to follow and in time you will see what i mean when the flower finally opens up!

You know, having your tongue out facilitates those really high notes. The tongue placement is optimized to keep the back of the throat open and it is good vocal technique. You can't hit those super high notes without some tongue extension. He doesn't do falsetto, so this is a requirement because Adam can hit those high notes that most people can't. Adam's technique is impeccable, he had vocal lessons for over 10 years at least and probably more. This idea that it looks like a lizard is ridiculous. Don't watch him, don't listen to him and don't post on here with these absolutely ridiculous comments. You obviously know very little about vocal technique! Al you two can do is write stupid stuff that no one wants to read!!

Pretty obvious choices, but who is in your etc list. Here's one Steve Perry, former Journey singer. As a rock singer who usually sings in a fairly high register how do you rate him, how does his consistency as a live performer compare with your list and Lambert?

Even mentioning a vocal god like Perry with a nobody like LameBert in one sentence is a joke. Perry was on par if not better than Freddie in his heyday and he got SOUL in his voice. Something that Lamebird is completely lacking with his mechanical robotic vocal style of his ugly voice. So stop comparing 5star restaurants with McDonalds (Lameturd)
