The Adam-bashing is still going strong.
Even went as far as fatshaming him. :')
You people have no shame?

^^^ Never understood why people call him fat, he's nowhere near fat he's just not a skinny model type.

I never called him obese. I said he struts around stage like an obese guy. He's slow on stage, those legs of his. He likes to stand in place or walk slowly. He's definitely not an athletic performer.

No he's not a run around type guy, I have seen him do that occasionally but then he doesn't need to be that type of performer, he's not meant to be copying Freddie he has his own way of doing things. Lots of performers don't run around, they can't all be Dave Grohl types.

Maybe that's one of the problems, he's not just one thing, you can't put a label on him and say he's pop or rock or blues or funk because he mixes it all together.

I can't hear that combination on his albums... I hear all computerized bubblegum pop.
I could make whole songs on computers, and I have, and released them too! You can create anything on computers these days, however, it lacks appeal and I deeply regret it. Youngsters enjoy that stuff, but it's definitely not something to be remembered for. Hot Space is way more genius than the dance music of today.
Hearing that album with Adam and real instruments was GREAT! I didn't like it, but I enjoyed it. Hearing his "official" albums with all that electronic bullshit... no doubt on which one I prefer. Plus look at his live music with Queen. He's not a hard rock vocalist like Freddie can be, but he sounds alright with real instruments.
I think it'd be great to hear album with a band, in fact, maybe I'd buy an album of his if he released an album with the majority of instruments being the typical drums, guitars, bass, etc.

Which album was it you meant, Beg for Mercy?
I suspect the reason his fans prefer him live is because he takes the songs off his albums and plays with a live band, loses a lot of the electronic sounds and makes them more rock, could be why his albums don't sell as well as they might have. He was being touted as a rock singer all through Idol and that's probably what a lot of people expected him to do, then he released FYE and it was totally unlike what people would have imagined him doing. His first live shows were popular he did a 10 month world tour but his albums are so over processed they take away from what he got known for. Just my theory.
I do think that's the direction he's gonna go in this time, maybe playing with Queen live for so long has given him a new appreciation for that type of thing.

So, Elvis didn't write songs, Sinatra didn't write songs, the worlds greatest Opera singers don't write songs. . . . I guess they were/are all fake performers and puppets on stage.

Look, there's nothing wrong with competent performing musicians who are not capable of writing their own material. Sinatra was already mentioned.
But, calling someone a song writer because he occasionally contributes a small part of a lyric is downright idiotic. AL is no songwriter, just like Elvis Presley wasn't. Just because someone in both their management decided that it'd be good advertising to give them writing credit here and there doesn't make it real.
AL is a capable performing musician that I happen to have no strong feelings about either way. But he is not a songwriter, so don't pretend he is. That just detracts from the things he IS good at.

I'd love to know how people "know" he's no songwriter? He wrote songs prior to Idol with Monty Pitman, he wrote Aftermath with Alisan Porter prior to Idol then used it on his first album and also as a charity single. He co wrote the original high song which they changed once he was signed with Warner and Max started working with him, the original demo is on YouTube as well as the released one. Not saying he's gonna be the greatest songwriter in the world but he has more input than people give him credit for and it's obvious which songs are very personal to him and which he's had a large hand in. Broken Open is one and Chokehold, both one's he's explained what he wrote them about. Yeah they're all collaborations, he didn't write them solo but they do reflect his personal opinions and feelings about things.
To clarify, what I mean is I see that differently from the songs he was just given to sing from other people with no input or personal meaning. I don't see it matters if he actually wrote the all the words so long as the message is personal. Not saying there's anything wrong with singing other people's music either, both ways work fine and he does both.

I had been wondering, whom you are talking about? Slow on stage? Come on. I mean, I‘ve only seen him 4 times now, but I never noticed that. Sure, he isn’t as energetic as Freddie or Grohl. But AL is almost constantly moving around. Personally, I would be already pretty exhausted just after that AOBTD in the video. :-) He‘s slower, when he’s wearing boots with huge heels, I guess. I think running around in these would even look stupid. ;-)
To add: I would be more than happy with a body like his... maybe I should do more sports...

He is moving a lot of the time just not the running back and forth type some do. In his solo shows because they're more pop oriented he dances quite a bit but it really wouldn't look right with Queen music although he does do it for fun sometimes. I've never had the impression he's lazy on stage he's just a different type of performer. And yeah the heels don't really work for running around unless he want's to do a Dave Grohl and break his leg.

@rockchic65
I know, how you meant it. ;-)
Thing is, that your discussion made it sound, as if AL behaves on stage like an opera singer: standing around, only moving a few steps here or there. While the truth is, that he’s perfectly working the whole stage. The biggest stage Queen never had...

I love his way of performing, it works perfectly for me but I've seen one or two mention he's lazy on stage because he's not like Freddie. He does work the stage and people at the shows and the media all call him a showman, I guess some people have different idea's on what that is. I like lots of performers and they're all different, it would be boring it they were all the same way.

I wish we could stand Adam and Freddie side by side to measure the length of their legs. Adam’s 6 ft. 3 in. frame is mostly legs!

Not too many performers can do this (or that other photo I posted of Adam flat on the floor):
