Adam's song writing...

Yup, Adam has a lot in common with Queen. That’s why Brian and Roger love him so much!

Ok, I will bite, exactly what does AL have in common with Queen. Do tell us.
Waiting to see what you will come up with to big up AL.
But I think it's clear they don't have much in common. Members of Queen are legendary songwriters and performers...AL not so much.
Queen never got their big break because of a realistic TV show.
Queen broke barriers and records throughout their career, AL not so much.
Queen's music is a big part of every day life, and the musical landscape, AL's...not so much.

When you come out with things like this, and even wanting to compare leg length...it's nuts to be honest.

It's theoretically possible, but not very likely. There's a lot more to writing a song than meets the ear: harmonies, part-writing and the likes can be extremely demanding, unless you're happy to end up with a string of musical cliches.

The scenario you describe reminds me of Irving Berlin. A great lyricist, to be sure, who gets shared credit for the music on his songs - Berlin came up with wonderful melodies, but did not have the know-how to turn them into songs. So, he used the services of others to set his pieces to music. And, remember, Irving Berlin is probably the absolute best-case-scenario in the real world of someone without much technical knowledge of an instrumentalist of some kind in writing songs.[/QUOTE]

Yeah I'm not saying he does that, he's been asked plenty times about which songs he wrote but no one seems to have asked if he had a hand in putting together the actual music as opposed to just the lyrics so I don't really know if he does that with new songs, I just know he does help with rearranging songs he covers etc. He does have a basic knowledge of piano etc, his brother plays piano but Adam gave it up.

[/QUOTE]
He sings or hums melodies and makes musicians play these. He knows, what beat he wants, what kind of instrumentation, how a song is supposed to sound. That’s much more than just writing lyrics.

Yeah, that's not how it works.

Icy, I was responding to the Sealion post just before mine. My phone does not let me post other people’s posts to respond to. Keep up, girl.

Did you see the movie yet? I might be seeing it again today with my son.

Interesting look!! Sounds like he's still thinking Glam Rock/Classic Rock, probably with a modern twist.

Looks like he will adopt any look to try to find an audience. And to think there is a 40-page thread here asking if Lambert is a rock star. Utterly ridiculous.

How many looks did Freddie have?

Adam is not Ed Sheeran or Adam Levine or Sam Smith.

Do you mean Freddie the rock star, musician, song writer, front man and acclaimed singer? As many as he liked darling.

I agree. After all, they've all been nominated for or won awards like the grammys, ivor novello, american music awards, golden globe, oscar etc., whereas Lambert came second on a talent show, singing someone else's music.

You need to stop comparing your boy to Fred -- he's always going to come off second best.

Except Lambert had longer legs. Bo Rap, Live Aid, Barcelona etc vs. longer legs. Hmm...

Ha! Ha! Adam has been nominated for a Grammy but, like Queen, he does not fit into the cookie cutter criteria of the music industry.

Maybe he needs shorter legs ...

Here’s a good response about Adam:

“Very in-depth interview “Adam Lambert is a modern-day polymath. (person of wide-ranging knowledge or learning).
Lambert has not stopped transforming the music scene — all the while advocating for social justice”

Holly2003, what about first openly gay artist to have a number 1 album on the billboard charts? As a solo artist.

Yup, not Elton John, nor Freddie Mercury, nor George Michael, nor Sam Smith...but Adam Lambert. Sure, you could argue the album did not sell all that well in the end but it still opened at number 1 and all three of his solo albums opened in the top 3 at the Billboard Charts. He's also Grammy-nominated and an gay icon who has inspired many people to be exactly who they are.

Honestly, I have seen Bohemian Rhapsody and it makes me want to know more about Freddie. From all accounts, Freddie seems to be a beautiful person and a brilliant musician/artist. I have the highest respect for him both as a person and as an artist but frankly, I am appalled at the behavior of some of his fans on here. From the little that I know, Freddie was not always seen to be this semi-god when he was alive and he had his own share of detractors.

Who knows what is going to happen with Adam and his career at the end? He's been around since only 2009. Might be too early to judge yet.

Yep, longer legs is clearly what matters most to sweetcaroline.

I'd rather he did it because he wants to do that way, instead of bouncing from look to look, and genre to genre to find an audience. Things change all the time in the music business.
