He sounds as shrill as shrillness goes. Anastacias second rocky album was awesome. She should have stuck to the rockier tunes. Sadly whe went moe pop. Her lamest songs are still better than anythin Lamebird has ever done.

No idea why anyone would be comparing individual voice types, especially male to female, it's obvious they will sound completely different. Anastacia is suited to rock, her voice is thicker and weighty. Range wise she has slightly less range than Adam in full voice.

Adam sings in lots of different ways in each register and they all sound different. Certain types of singing sounds shrill if that's how you want to describe it more than others, but to just say he sounds shrill is ridiculous since you're implying he sings in a high shrill voice constantly.

At least you acknolegde that Lamebird has a paerthin voice and other singers voices are way thicker. The Wicked Game cover is bloody awful. Seems the tool destryos any given song he tries to sing and is failing misetably. He sounds like a lil girl crying

No I acknowledged that all voices are different and you can't compare a weighty thicker voice type with a totally different one especially male to female. Adam in no way has a paperthin voice, that's just plain rubbish.

It isn’t possible to bring down the rafters in an arena with a paper thin voice!

Not a big fan of the Upright Cabaret stuff (his tone, perhaps not very palatable, maybe it's the video quality) but some of it is vocally impressive. I do like that version of Dust in the Wind though. Whoever says Adam can't sing, I'm unsure what you're listening to.

I too also prefer Steve Balsamo over Ted Neeley. I believe he even sheds a tear or two in Gethsemene.

This is the guy I believe to be currently the best singer in the world though: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JEz1qGS0T1Q

I'd say what he can do with his voice is unreal, and his range is off the charts though a lot of it is headvoice/falsetto but it spans about seven octaves apparently. I personally find him hard to listen to unless he's singing opera since his accent makes English songs sound odd, he did a version of show must go on, but opera wise he's incredible.

I suspect if Adam did those Upright Cabaret songs now they'd sound a lot richer, makes me wonder if he can still sing that pure, they were done when he had to take time off from Wicked. The sound on the vids was awful so they probably sounded a lot better live, but actual vocal technique wise they show he has insane control over his voice. Yeah it puzzles me how anyone can say he can't sing, liking how he sings is personal taste but objectively the guy has insane vocal ability.

Yeah, his head voice/falsetto/whistle is amazing. Adam probably has him beat in mixed voice.

And yep, his English is pretty bad, but he sings in 10 different languages, I think. This is not the full song, but there are good examples of his head voice in this (hits a very strong full voice A5):

Ppl go to QAL because of Maylor and the songs not because of the ladyboy's wining

No, runner, I love Brian and Roger and their music and musicianship is awesome, but people want to hear the songs SUNG and Brian and Roger cannot sing some of those songs anymore and I am not sure if they ever did. At this point I think it would just be too much for them. These songs require a very special voice and that means Adam. People come to hear all of the band nowadays. Pretty much everyone has embraced Adam. It wouldn't be QAL without him at this point. Concert goers love his voice and comment on it and look forward to hearing him sing, whether or not you believe it! If you haven't been, you don't know how wonderful they sound together. It takes all of them to make QAL what it is now. Brian and Roger are rock icons and everybody loves them and their amazing talent, but they can't do the tour without Adam and the other backing musicians.

Sorry but I had to agree with Simon's assessment on that one. One thing I really loved though was Adam's way of taking criticism, his reaction on results night made me laugh and Simon loved him the week after thankfully.

Totally agree with Snifflease. There will be some who go because of Brian & Roger who aren't really into Adam but there's a whole lot more who really like him. I see comments on that all the time and one thing that stands out is how they love the fact he does his own thing with the songs and doesn't try to do an exact copy of the original. The other thing I notice is they all say he isn't a replacement, they accept QAL as a separate entity not a Queen substitute, maybe that's the reason he is so accepted, people aren't comparing just enjoying.

A bit like people come here to discuss the music they love but have to endure your utter crap in the process. . .

Oh wait a moment it's nothing like that because your wrong, most of the people who go to the shows go because of the songs, the musicians the production and the atmosphere, they're not suffering the vocalist, if he was as bad and useless as you claim these shows would have died before the last Hammersmith gig in 2012.

rockchic, I neglected to say why I was posting that link to “Ring of Fire.” I thought it would be self-explanatory that I was using it as an example of how Adam’s voice is NOT “thin.” It is my personal favorite because that performance is what first hooked me on Adam which has lasted 9 years later to this day!

I agree with you that what was also so captivating about Adam was his ability to take Simon’s criticism graciously and with humor. What I loved was that despite the comments about never going to Nashville, Adam ended up incorporating a short version of “Ring of Fire” into his Glam Nation tour and ultimately did go to Nashville, performing that very version of ROF in the Ryman Auditorium of all places!

Snifflese: If you think Adams voice is the best there is for Queen then you are completely wrong. George Michael had a much better singing voice than Adam and he sung "Somebody to Love" with grace and finesse. Freddie would have been so proud that George was singing his song.

Here’s an example of why fans are so devoted to Adam. In addition to his talent, he is a really nice guy and a caring friend”
