I can read, ta. It's a Queen message board, but I think you don't even know that much the way you fan girl over Adam and want all the attention for him.
Yeah, you might know it this year...after I pointed it out. A first album that is medicore and that anniversary date is more noteworthy for you... obviously.
You have no shame. I was wonder if a Glambert would post about the anniversary of AL's first album and AL being perfect here on QZ, the best for Brian and Roger, but to do it so close to the 24th is shameful. Give your head a shake.
I’m referring to the day Freddie died 27 years ago.

Where? In your post about AL's first album? The reply to me about the 24th?
AL's anniversary album date and bigging him up is more important to you than the date a great man passed away. Go on that you think he has some Freddie,a Bowie, Elvis, Jackson, go on about the gift from God crap, go on about his first album, go on a AL board to fan girl over AL, because it's obvious you didn't know about the 24th for the second year in a row. More important for you to go on and on about AL. Just go to an AL board for your fan girling, bigging up crap at least a couple days of the year, or just stop it on Queen boards for at least a couple days of the year. It would be great if you could manage it. Have some respect for the way you treat Queen boards for the next couple of days, lay off with your crap. The 24th is an emotional day for some of us at least, but there you go, promoting and bigging up Lambert non stop.
Gee, and you wonder why you get the reactions you get from me sometimes.
Is touring with Queen a detriment to Adam’s voice, due to the difficulty of the catalog? I think Adam perhaps has lost a bit the last couple of years. I don’t think he can hit the notes he could 5 years ago. Still a very solid singer, but can he still sing something like Sleepwalker (Russia version) or A Change is Gonna Come (American Idol)? I don’t think he can. Hope I’m wrong. I do think he could still sing something like Soaked very well though.
Brancelli, did you watch any of the Live periscopes from the Vegas residency? His voice is better than ever. He was performing the most demanding Queen songs at every show. Hitting the highest notes on WWTLF and then TSMGO, RGG, BR, WWRY and WATC.

I think his TSMGO is not as good as it was a few years ago, and hitting the highest note on WWTLF isn't difficult for him. I think the highest note is D5, which is right in Adam's mixed voice wheelhouse. That song falls into the "Soaked" category for me, which is to say that he can still excel singing it. I guess what I'm trying to say is I think he's perhaps lost a bit of his head voice.

That was very good, enjoyed it, and it may surprise you as I say thanks for link, Caroline.
I truly can understand the disdain that comes with Adam being the frontman for Queen. For me, he just doesn't sound right, and that's just a tone of voice thing, which is subjective. I think Martel fits better, and is truly an incredible singer in his own right. That being said, I cannot agree with the "goat" comparisons, etc. Adam's vibrato is among the best I've ever heard. I know it might be blasphemy to say it, but Freddie's vibrato has more of a goat quality than Adam. I can understand not liking Adam with Queen, but you're lying if you think Adam is a bad singer.
This is the type of song Adam excels at:

I think it's great Adam got the opportunity to sing with Queen, but that's not the type of rock he sings. He just pales in comparison. This is where Adam excels in terms of a rock song (which I don't think he can sing anymore, the last 3 minutes or so, anyway).

I apologize for posting links to Adam like Caroline, but I don't think one can come away with thinking Adam is a bad singer after listening to these (Caroline's included). Might not be for Queen, but a great singer.

I don't think it's that he can't sing like that anymore it's just he's not done any solo shows for a long while and it's not the type of rock that suits Queen songs. He doesn't do Queen type rock, his voice is more hair metal style so IMO he changes Queen songs to fit his voice better. Also he's changed quite a bit from when he first started, he doesn't do the completely wild vocal runs etc he's a lot more controlled and uses them more sparingly, he said he's learned you don't always need to do that all the time.

So, how many days are we supposed to observe silence about Adam Lambert around this time of year? Three days? A Week? Is it just before the anniversary or should we also pretend that he doesn't exist in the days following?
I know the 24th is a day many of us remember and have strong feelings associated with but trying to extend it as if it is a holy time that we should spend reflecting on Freddie is nonsense.
Like Adam or hate Adam, I just don't care. Just move on. Don't let it control your life.

A couple of days around this time of year would be nice without sweetcaroline bigging him up, promoting him. She does it almost every day without fail...and she's been doing it on Queen boards for years.
Freddie is beloved, respected and admired by many and rightly so. It's sad to me that so little is know about the man's music, by some all the while bigging up, promoting AL. Sorry, not sorry, it does leave a bad taste in my mouth especially around this time of year. Right now, my mind isn't on markng the anniversary of AL's first album, it's about the loss of a great man and what he left behind. No one can ( or should ) doubt it's a vast catalogue of music, so much guts and determination, a zest for life like no other that Freddie had. I've actually written a post along those lines, that I may or not share here on QZ. Freddie won't be forgotten any time soon and nor should he be forgotten.
I actually like AL and some of his solo music. I think he's a very good pop singer. I'm not letting him control my life by posting everything I can come across about him.
