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)

Finally a point we can agree on, Perry was amazing, one of my all time top three singers. Sadly the rest of what you wrote is utter drivel.

How anyone can like Perry and like a tool like Lamefart is beyond me

Maybe because I can tell the difference between someone who can sing and who can't, which you seem to have a problem with judging by your comments. Maybe we could use Perry to assess their respective technical abilities, bearing in mind technical ability has nothing to do with liking the sound of someone's voice.

Perry has no timing problems and does no useless shrieking like the annoying goat

Could you just answer a question without all the nasty name calling? Honestly, you sound like an elementary school child. Adults don't make up nasty, stupid names for people. Why do you have to call people names? I have never seen this kind of behavior before. Why can't you just refer to him as Lambert and let it go? You didn't answer the question about Steve Perry's voice. I guess you wouldn't know how to critique it as all you seem to be able to do is criticize and make fun of people. Why don't you try to have a grownup conversation for a change?

Perry regularly sang high notes and saying Adam shrieks is wrong since he can sing high in various different styles depending on the type of song.

I said what I have to say about Perry. Lamebird stays Lamebert or Lameturd to me as it is his fitting name

Didn't have much to say when it came to an intelligent answer!!!

I cannot understand why anyone continues to respond to and legitimize Runner's comments. Why? You know what he's about. He isn't capable of agreeing to disagree. He is only capable of insults and unintelligible responses. He is high ego and low IQ. And please do not try to talk to him about vocal technique and skill vs. tone, etc. He is not capable of understanding. Just ignore the fool and he'll go away.

Freddie Mercury was miles in front of Steve Perry even in the seventies, Mr Mercury was a hard act to compete with, i mean just listen to Freddie's voice on "Love of my Life" it is immaculate and pristine where as Steve Perry's voice is similar to Adam Lambert's voice which is thin and annoying although i would go with Steve Perry over Lambert any day and at Least Perry sings his own material for a living and not ripping the fans off.
Freddie is regarded as the best male vocalist ever so why should Queen fans do with someone like Lambert who is not even on the same page as Freddie? Queen are short changing there talents with this odd ball Lambert.

You are massively short changing Steve there, he was known as one of the best live vocalists, able to almost perfectly replicate his album sound, and his voice isn't thin any more than Adam's is. I've no idea how much you actually know about the technicalities of voice but the difference you hear between Freddie and Steve in fullness of voice is because of the voice type/timbre. No way a high tenor like Steve could ever sound like a baritenor like Freddie, vocal chords are just made anatomically different. So what you hear as thin is just a different timbre.

As to your comment about why should fans make do with Adam - well Freddie might have been the greatest male vocalist to many people but sadly he's not here anymore and life has to go on. Brian & Roger spent years along with Freddie & John writing and recording that music and want to still be out there playing it live, it makes them happy, but they need a vocalist to do that. Might not be your taste but it works for a lot of people and he can sing everything in the original key which makes their job much easier. Going by your comment I'm assuming you'd have a problem no matter who they chose to tour with since no one could compare to Freddie?

After his post after post of vitriol the other day I thought talking technicalities which I was pretty sure he wouldn't know anything about might just shut him up. Obviously it was wishful thinking, I really don't understand the mentality of someone posting negative comments all the time about what they hate rather than spending time on things they do like.

Rockchic: Your comment about Adam singing in perfect key to all the Queen songs is a joke because he cannot sing everything Freddie recorded, he has had terrible performances with many of the bands songs, and reaching high notes does NOT make him a great singer. Freddie was the master of vocals and Adam is still very much a novice and has more of his craft to learn.

You need to re read what I said, not perfect key, original key - meaning the key isn't lowered or transposed. Obviously he hasn't sung every song recorded since the set lists don't include every song, I'm talking the ones they do on tour. He doesn't have terrible performances, even if some people don't care for his style of singing or his timbre/tone that doesn't make him bad at singing, just not to their taste, the same way you don't care for Steve Perry's tone or singing style.

As to being a novice, that's not even close to true, he's had years of experience and vocal training, in fact that's probably the reason some people don't like his style of singing, it's a trained voice, not the raw sounding rock voice some people prefer.

Well Freddie was not trained with his voice yet he became the worlds greatest male rock singer, so make you wonder that training aint that good after all.
I bet the person that won American idol when Lambert was in the contest was not trained either, natural talent is what its all about.
