Allow me to put an end to the Freddie/Adam debate once and for all

I am posting this thread in this forum because it has as much to do with Queen as it does QAL. A creative and funny way to address MY frustration with the still frequent referrals to a guy who has been gone for 27 years now. Let me put out MY opinion about this whole Freddie the frontman, Adam the "replacement" brouhaha. YMMV

1. Adam teaming with Queen allows them to continue to put on a spectacular show of wonderful music. Brian and Roger have both said they would not be doing this now if not for Adam. Adam gives new life to Queen.

2. If Freddie had not died of AIDS in 1991 would Queen still be performing? We'll never know, but I doubt it. Freddie was not anything near a fitness nut and he lived hard and fast. If he made it to age 72, I don't think he would have been in any kind of shape to be doing world tours in arenas. His voice almost certainly would not have held up. It was already frayed in the 1980s. His voice today would be a pale shadow of what it once was, and melodies, keys and harmonies would have to be altered and simplified in order for him to come close to singing them. His energy and stamina would be much less than in his heyday.

3. Adam today is at the height of his vocal prowess, his energy, his confidence, his beauty. He can handle anything and everything in the Queen repertoire, and do it repeatedly, consistently, over time. His energy carries the QAL performance.

4. Flat out, Adam is a better singer than Freddie.

5. Adam inspires Brian and Roger to new heights of performing. We know that Brian at least is kind of a stick in the mud who doesn't like to change things up or try new things. Adam's creativity, enthusiasm and energy, plus his potential as a frontman, encourage Brian and Roger to do more, imagine more. Plus, Adam shares the spotlight and, in typical theater form, throws the attention to Brian and Roger during their solos and features. Adam has encouraged Brain to be more front and center.

6. Adam is more fun onstage than Freddie was. Both reach across the stage lights and connect with the audience, but Adam is more lighthearted with a sense of humor and a little absurdity. When Freddie was at the piano, the audience connection was reduced. Adam is out front and interacting throughout the whole concert.

7. Adam is more enjoyable to look at. Beautiful. Graceful. Moving like a dancer.

Adam is not a great substitute for Freddie. Not a great replacement. Adam is the best frontman and lead singer and co-creator for the best Queen show ever mounted. Period. Full stop.

Trolling again I see. And taken right from Adamtopia.
Whoever you are, you are full of it.

And no "Thelambertluvva" from Adamtopia, I did not post this under another name.
Warning QZ...people from Adamtopia might come here to defend AL, and say AL is better than Freddie.

I understand, that the post has been stolen from a Lambert fansite?

So is it an Adam fan trolling a Queen board?

Or is it one of our trolls, who is again spilling hate against Lambert and his fans?

The user name is too obvious for the first option...me thinks.

Yes, taken from Cassie who is a member of Adamtopia which was posted over there in the last day or two. I admit I read there sometimes, especially during the tours and just before and after the tours.
I wouldn't call Cassie a troll, even though I don't agree with her views that she has stated in this particular post on AL, but the poster here who brought it here is a troll, no doubt in my mind. And I swear it wasn't me that at least one person from over there seems to think, I've barely been around here the last few days because of a family emergency, and haven't had time to catch up on the last couple of Q+AL concerts even.
If Cassie wants to come here to debate her views, feel free to join here and post.

So about this weather we're having...

Above all else, someone close to Adam really needs to tell him that a lot of his 'looks' don't work at all - hard to pick the worst one, but the sleeveless thing? Looks ridiculous

Adam Lambert has no taste in clothes at all he is a freak and that is the end of it. A mixed up loony who does not know if he is Marthur or Arthur.

Is screaming and performing like a drag queen better than the genius of Mr Mercury sorry I am laughing here...bit silly to think such a nothing. I never ever hear the name Of Adam Lambert in greatest vocalist debates ever! I don't want to bash AL he is a nice singer in the studio etc.. But we are on a different level when we mention the name Freddie Mercury.

Classy, with the gay-slur and all. You do realize Freddie liked to dress up in drag and called men by women's names, right?

Freddie only dressed up in drag because of I want to break Free He had a lot of images for different videos, and Freddie was worth a million of Adam Lamberts.
Yes Freddie called guys by womans names so nothing wrong with that, He was a flamboyant character and very artistic. Lambert on the other hand has no original dress sense and has copied everything from the last 44 years that has already been done from Freddie to Boy George.

Adam is a nobody. And he doesn't give new life to Queen, because that bad cover band isn't Queen.

Mr Bed guy: You are right and everybody else on here is wrong, they dont get it do they? pretty sad site if they class themselves as Queen fans and let a nobody over rule a rock legend like Freddie.

Mr Bed guy: You are a deranged half wit just like me. We should stick together and proclaim our love for each other and runner-70!

People like us get laughed at but I know all the other fools are jealous of my superior knowledge and intellect. Fuck the rest.

I know I'm a dripping vulture turd falling on a desert wasteland of empty headed beliefs, but my real power is that I'd nerve admit that in public.

I wish I could have Freddie's babies, but being a half wit he wouldn't have looked at me twice and being male caused all sorts of biological problems when it came to conceiving for me.

All of this has left me a compete dull headed bumfuck, and although I try to make out people like The Real Wizard can't compete with my amazing view of all things Queen I have to admit that he, and many others are far far more intelligent than I will ever be.

Hope this goes someway to explaining the stupid content of my posts on this site in the past.

Can't wait to see the band tour with Lambert again, I love him more than Freddie now

Wow that's a turn up for the books
