The best Posting on QAL EVER - period

Sealion: You spout off at Runner70 been ill and obsessed with hate over Lambert when you are just the same defending Lambert to the hilt and not bothered if he has no credibility or if he is a gimmick which by the way he certainly is.
He is not a proper pop star and his fame is based on been with Queen and that is it.
If Queen did not re-home him like a little lost puppy he would be playing pubs or smaller theatres,.
As to my past posts been deleted i think Vocal Harmony hacked into my posts somehow and deleted them himself. If this is true then he could also find himself in serious trouble.[/QUOTE]

Ok you got me curious, what exactly is a proper pop star?

Wasnt speaking to you so keep your nose out. Does Lambert employ you on full time to defend his fat ass?

Clearly can't answer that one and no he doesn't need to employ anyone to defend him he's doing great as he is.

Lambert cannot write a decent song, cannot play any instrument and is only a thief singing other legends music to make his living.
His own material sucks and has not set the world on fire like you girls on here think.
No one takes him seriously because everyone sees through him.
Brian justin crumb from American Idol sounds exactley the same as Adam Lambert proving he is ten a penny with a common singing voice and style. Not unique at all.

Lambert can write and does, yeah he doesn't play instruments but so what he's a singer it's not a requirement. Out of his own material there's some I quite like, they aren't gonna be classics but so what neither is a lot of the music out there. Brian sounds nothing like Adam, he might sing in a similar way since they had the same vocal coach when young but there the similarity ends, his voice tone wise is nothing like Adam's. And finally he's not stealing anything he was asked to sing with Brian & Roger, that's not stealing. If he decided to re record Queen songs in his own way then you'd have a point but he's just singing them in a live show, the same as loads of performers in pubs, clubs, tribute bands etc do all the time, he just happens to be singing with original members.

Happy star to runner‘s rescue? LOL
Are you a girl? You sound like someone Else on here. ;) Let runner be a man, he can speak for himself.

What you wrote about Lambert is your opinion. But you also sound like a broken record. Especially since I didn’t talk about him. But yes, thanks for bringing it back to him. I forgot, that talking about Queen and Freddie must take place in a different part of the forum.

And about VH: I don’t know, what happened „behind the scenes“, was only speculating. But deleting all your insulting posts was the only right thing to do. And no, I don’t want the story from you about how these came to be. It’s done.

I do think Freddie with Queen would have been a legend even if he didnt die so young. [/QUOTE]
Maybe. But that wasn’t my point. My point was, that he wasn’t the legend, when this video had been taken.


[/QUOTE]

Well it takes more than a click of the fingers nto become legendary. I think with certainty, Freddie would be a legend if he had other died so young. Live Aid performance was legendary before he died. [/QUOTE]
But it wasn’t immediately considered that. You are right, that it put Queen back on the „acceptable card“ after the debacle with South Africa, because people had to realize, that it was „good“ ( they would not dare to call them legends). LOL.
[/QUOTE]

Aside from being poorly written to the point of being almost unreadable, your point is also incorrect. The press and other artists immediately identified that Fred and Queen stole the show at Wembley. Besides, Fred has been a legend since he wrote and sang Bohemian Rhapsody. It;s odd that such a massive Queen fan as yourself would forget about this...

[QUOTE] [b]Sealion wrote:[/b]
My take is, that Queen would have parted ways, had Freddie not gotten ill. It would have been over by 1987. Freddie would have followed his solo path, doing what he wanted to do. But without the others, he would not have been as successful.
Queen‘s music would still be played, but Mercury would not have become that god-like figure. He would still be a human being with all his flaws, ups and failures.[/QUOTE]

There's nothing like a counterfactual to identify wishful thinking from the deluded or spiteful. The reality is that Fred is a legend and Lambert is not. Deal with it.

@Holly
Yes, I consider Freddie a legend.
No, I don‘t think he would be considered one, would he still be alive.
To steal the show doesn‘t make you instantly a legend. That takes time, IMO.

I never ever said, Lambert is a legend. I did barely talk about him at all.

Was that understandable enough?

To add:
I‘m just fed up with some people here, who seem to forget, that Freddie was a great, but human frontman. And no, I didn‘t like everything, he did. When I went to a concert, I found his performance less than satisfying. Apparently he had partied too much before.

It was a hit and miss. Sometimes great , often good and sometimes even offputting. Some call it rock‘n roll. When I drive for hours to a gig and the frontman isn‘t what he used to be, do I have to like that? No. And I‘ve heard similar stories by others. I also attended two good gigs, so don‘t pity me. ;-)

In the end, Freddie was a genius composer and writer. But I think the same of Brian. Freddie could be a brilliant frontman. But he wasn‘t always like this. It‘s excusable, human. But it was the reason, why I started the topic. Freddie wasn‘t considered a legend, while he was still performing. If he was, then only by some hardcore fans.
[/QUOTE]
To bring it back to Q+AL: What I absolutely enjoy about these gigs is, that they are consistently of great quality. Some call it boring, because they are all the same. But the performances are never lacking of quality. My opinion.

You do know what a libellous comment is don't you? That's getting quite close to it.

Don't you think IF I had hacked your account I would have stopped at one section of one thread.

Before you make stupid unfounded public comments may be a little investigative work would go a long way. Try contacting Richard Orchard to find out what happened to your abusive rubbish posts.

When you've recieved a reply maybe you'll be a big enough man (which I doubt) to come back here and admit you got it wrong.

Here’s a horrible looking Freddie shirt that popped up on Facebook today for purchase:

I might buy happystar one!!!!

Icy, you sound totally deluded! Why am I bitter and jealous about Freddie's legacy? That makes no sense at all. He is amazing, his legacy will be forever, but it has nothing to do with appreciating Adam and QAL. Why you equate the two, I will never understand. People can really like more than one thing. The person who is jealous and bitter about Freddies' legacy is you. You are just crazy because people like Adam singing Queen and you are afraid that will affect Freddie somehow. That is the only thing that makes any sense to me. You are the Bitter one, the jealous one, truly. If you weren't, you wouldn't make all these crazy statements. I don't care much about Adam's legacy. It will be what it will be. He has his own path and it isn't influenced by Freddie's legacy, I really don't give it much thought. I appreciate all he has done in the last 10 years and his legacy will never be one like Freddie's, but I feel he has been very successful and will continue to be. For someone to be so tied up in a dead singer who you never even saw in concert is really odd. It is like Freddie is the main focus in life from the things you say. Obsessions are never a good thing. You are the only person concerned about legacies and if QAL wasn't as good as it is, I doubt you would be worried.

I wish you would quit saying I am not a Queen fan. As I told you, I have loved Queen way before you, back in the beginning. Just because I am not a fanatic does not mean I am not a Queen fan. It ain't all or nothing like it is with you. I loved Queen, I never say mean or nasty things about them. But you do about Adam and QAL all the time. That is why you are not an Adam fan. So don't lump me into the I am not a fan category, cause I don't fit there. You do. You just have to read all your posts where you always second people who are saying negative things and adding your own. No problem with that, but then you try to pretend you are an Adam fan. Your behavior does not indicate that at all, either here or on QOL.

I don't come here at Caroline's bidding. I don't know her, but I have watched you slam her for years for no good reason on QOL. That was before I even knew who you were. I could never figure out why and it has been a very long time. I am sure you had plenty to do with her bans since the mods also don't like QAL. I've told you numerous times that you are a bully and you hide behind statements like," Well, I do like Save Me" and this week "I am friendly with Rockchic". As I said, Big Deal, the rest of the time you are a wolf in sheep's clothing and then act all distressed and throw crap at me when I try to point out all your inconsistencies! Just own what you are like Runner and Happy. I know exactly what they are and while I don't like it at all, they never try to pretend. You pretend and I hate that just as much and you can get just as ugly as they do sometimes with your accusations. Don't give me the" poor little me" bit. I have read your posts over many years and that doesn't fly with me! I know better and I know exactly what you are.

Is Marc Martel going to be a thief? Why can he sing Queen and change things up? To me he is even further down the chain of popularity, so I don't know why he would get a pass?
He is certainly no rock icon and I doubt very few people have ever heard of him. So, what is up with that?

I personally don't care if he re records the entire Queen catalogue, no matter how similar to Freddie he sounds it won't beat the original for me, but I do find it puzzling why it's ok for him to do a recorded covers EP and apparently Queen themed xmas EP - not quite sure what that means, but Adam is slammed for just singing with them. Adam has said he won't re record Queen music, just last week someone on insta asked him to record his version of WWTLF and he replied 'thanks that's very flattering but Queen already recorded that one'. He's nothing but respectful towards Queen and Freddie yet gets hate for just singing live with them.
