Neither would I call Adam a crooner - never heard any crooner doing high shrieks, that's the complete opposite of crooning.
To all you girls on here the UK is the most important place on the planet for music and many American artists want to crack the UK big time because we have the best acts in the universe over here.
As for Steve Perry well he was just an average rock singer, Freddie turned out to be the greatest front man of all time and that says he was better than your steve perry hands down.
Your only jealous because Freddie was from the UK and your American wailer was average.
Snifflese: All you seem to think about is Adam is making money and yes he is with Queens music as his own music is pretty crap.
As i have said before Queen provide the music on stage live and Adam only sings the songs and mediocre at that.
He will never ever get any bigger than what he is now and that was because of Queen.

I'm English and live in the UK, not sure where you get the idea I'm American. I don't care where an artist is from I just care about how they sound and I beg to differ on Steve, he was far from average in talent and they've had a pretty successful career without cracking the UK market. Despite what you think there are various ways to be successful and they don't all involve the UK.

AL as a crooner...can't imagine it. I'd say the same about George Michael and he did standards in his later career...didn't make him a crooner.
Save me is the right example for his powerless voice. While Freddie made a powerhouse version of this song Lamebird fails miserable and makes it a lounger version. Powerless and awful. I hate it.

No that's definitely not his style although I could see him doing similar stuff to George.

Be careful! Sweetcaroline doesn't like Michael Buble ( who I guess is the latest pop crooner not)shes bitched about also! Can you imagine if Buble and AL did the same genre??
Kidding aside, I really can't see AL going down that route. I was shocked when George Michael did it. And he had the voice for it...AL, and his whole image, I'm not so sure.I don't think he is there yet.

Adam did a totally different version of it, he changes songs so as not to imitate Freddie and as I said before his voice is a totally different type, not made for sounding like Freddie.
Seriously can you not understand the difference in voice types as well as the different tone between singers. Adam sang that song in a different style, nothing to do with power, he's known as a vocal powerhouse but he's never going to sound as full voiced as Freddie, his voice just isn't made that way. There's a difference between power and how thick or full someone's voice sounds, they aren't the same thing. Think Freddie v Perry, do they sound like they have the same type of voice to you?

The sound quality is totally crap but the stuff he did at Upright Cabaret was that type of thing and if he'd have reined in the acrobatics a bit they would have been brilliant, I would love him to redo come home and I can't make you love me. Dust in the wind as well actually, and I liked his One More Try tribute as well.
Adam does it all !!!!!
I put “After Hours” in the crooner category and he had the women in the audience swooning and melting! LOL

BTW Buble isn’t sexy! Adam IS !!!!!
And even though I’m a Granny I can say that whether YOU like it or not!

As if you are judge and jury on who is sexy or not. Boy, your fixation with AL is shining like shit today.
Sure you can say that, but why are you always trying to convince others how sexy, good looking, gorgeous he is? Why is his looks so important for you?
I can say all this back at you whether you like it or not. I wonder if you would like AL so much if you thought he wasn't sexy, gorgeous whatever the ways you describe him. I don't think you would like him at all if you thought he was less attractive.

I saw that before. Honestly, I wasn't impressed with it. So far, I think of AL as a pop artist. He could branch out, if George Michael could go from IWYS to standards... there is hope yet.
