Lets get this straight, Brian & Roger were in a group called "Smile which lost its lead singer Tim Staffell and to be honest the band were getting nowhere and so when Freddie heard they needed a new singer he begged Brian & Roger he could make a difference and he did for he changed the bands name and designed the iconic Queen crest then they had a couple of bass players that never worked out before the wonderful John Deacon was on aboard and Freddie had a grand plan to get the band into the music industry.
Snifflese your Queen knowledge is poor because you seem to know more about Lambert than you do Queen history and that is shameful. If Freddie never came to the rescue of Brian & Roger there would be no Queen and no great music. Brian & Roger would have quit, Roger would have gone back to dentistry and Brian would have carved out a career in astronomy. By the way Lambert is not a showman that word gets used to easily these days. He is only a bog standard singer. He has no personality and sings like he is in church.
I dont care if he hits A2 or A100. He sucks when he is opening his mouth.

I agree with most of what you said but not all. Adam can and does put on a show just in a totally different way to how Freddie did it. Might not be your thing but lots of people love the way he acts on stage and that word gets used all the time in reviews and not just with Queen, his reviews for his first tour also called him a showman. There's tons of people over the years you could call showman and they're all different and I'd wager some of them wouldn't appeal to you personally but to their fans that's what they are. Robbie Williams? Doesn't appeal to me but gets called a showman all the time.
I don't agree it's shameful to not know that much about Queen, some people just don't look into bands and learn their history they just listen to the music. I personally don't know much about a lot of bands/singers I listen to except the odd few, Queen being one of them. I suppose it's whether you personally find them or the singer fascinating enough to want to know about them or just prefer to listen to the music. Either way works, it's just an unusual situation in this case since if Adam wasn't singing for them people wouldn't be on the forum if they weren't interested in knowing about the band so there will be a few who are here mainly because of Adam. Or to put it another way, if Smile had been a fully fledged band for several years and Freddie a solo artist you followed, how much would you have looked into Smile if he started singing with them?

In your opinion which isn't shared by lots of others.

His use of range is extremely good, but his overall measured range is nothing spectacular. But all he needs to do is just scream a falsetto note once or twice, and get into that 6th octave like he probably can. He's not much on falsetto for the high notes, and I can respect that. Wish he had a better lower register too, cause his 2nd octave notes are generally weak.
zero personalities, eh? So they are just stiff as boards out there singing like robots? Still would love to hear Marc do "White Queen", it'd be good regardless of personality. And would give Brian a good solo opportunity.

Adam's range is E2 - Bb5 full voice and yeah he's not much for falsetto, he never really needed it since he can hit that high in full and head voice.. Would be interesting to know just how high he could go using falsetto but maybe he's never tried pushing that. I think his low register has improved since being with Queen this long, I'd say he can go to A2 ok but it's never gonna be his favourite octave to sing in, his strength is definitely in the higher registers but range isn't the main thing really, it's got to sound good as well, there's singers who can get higher but some don't always sound great once they get into the 6th octave. For me his strength lies in the way he can use his voice rather than just the range he can hit.
White Queen is one of my favourite Queen songs, especially the live Odeon one, perfection IMO.
Why do people go on about how high Lambert can screech its not important at all.
Many good singers dont use high range to sing a song well.
Lambert is very overrated about the high range he screeches and he does sound like a cat having its balls chopped off.

No he doesn't he can sing high in lots of ways from the typical rock scream to the more operatic style and the pure head voice style.
Range is only important in the sense you have to be able to reach the notes required in each song but there's a lot of people for who range seems to be the most important thing, you only have to look how many range comparison vids there are on YouTube. Adam's own answer to range is "but does it sound good", since in his opinion usable range is more important than the top note you can hit. For me range isn't anywhere near the most important thing but all the things I love about Adam's voice are probably the things that put you and a few others off.
He sounds like a goat being raped. There are more than "few" who hate this annoying tool

The more worrying thing is that you'd know what that sounds like!!
Well excactly like this abomination called Lamebird
Well I wouldn't know thankfully.
I would like to hear Adam perform “White Queen” maybe in a smaller venue like the coming shows in Vegas.
Here’s a video I haven’t seen before from Glasgow:
http://m.youtube.com/watch?feature=endscreen&v=CQfqBBfJ5AAAwful seeing this hack make fun of KQ/Frank and the whole band with his "I am the gayest guy in town" attitude. Someone should really punish him for what he did to Queen
