Freddie vs Adam on you tube

Back at you because everything you write can also be put on you, someone who is so myopic that only Freddie and maybe John are important to her. Read all your posts across the years and I bet Brian and Roger were mentioned in less that 5% of them and that is only because you were replying to someone's post. You can't seem to get Freddie out of your vision of Queen for even a minute. Not my problem. I can appreciate the old and the new. I believe in being flexible and seeing both sides of the coin. If you can't, fine, but don't criticize others for your issues.

Freddie never hit the high notes all the time but that is because he was very energetic on stage and needed the energy to run about the stage, and gruelling tours took its toll on throat nodules.
He was a very hard working front man.
Freddie did make a Queen show dynamic he was the energy and the excitement of the shows arguably.

On some tours Freddie was very consistent hitting notes and not cutting phrases short. On other tours his voice wasn't as good as we ll know it could be.

I don't think you can put Freddie's different vocal performance down to running/moving around on stage, after all Roger at the time put huge effort into his playing and still hit the notes required regularly. Speak to any rock drummer and they'll tell you the performance effort over a two hour show is a killer

Freddie's up and down vocal performance was down to life style and over exertion/bad technique.

If your going to compare Lambert or even Paul Rodgers for that matter, both are more consistent and look after them selves and the voices better than Freddie

Seriously, do shut up or stop twisting I've not even said. You have claimed to have read my posts for nearly a decade, go find one where I have stated Freddie and John are the only ones who matter. I never have.
You sure sound like you appreciate Queen, given the fact you don't think John should be shown at all. You ate so full of contradicting statements.
All you see and hear is AL. That's more obvious in your posts lately. You want him to get a Twitter buzz. You can't even be bothered to discuss Queen at all. Yep, some fan you are *sarcasm*.

Vocal Harmony : So you think Lambert and Paul Rodgers look after themselves better than Freddie did, well Lambert is only young so that does not count and Paul Rodgers was not a tornado on stage like Freddie plus furthermore Freddie is highly regarded than both Lambert and Rodgers put together, he is not considered the greatest male vocalist ever for nothing!
You are wrong again.

Icy, you don't don't discuss Queen either. You reply negatively to every Glambert post and call people out. Show me where you have ever said anything that was interesting about them. Oh, and you ask people what they think. Your posts are truly enlightening for sure! You are one of those people who can't see the forest for the trees. That is about all I can say at this point.

I do discuss Queen.
Nope, I don't respond negatively to every Glambert or AL fan. Rockchic and I seem to get on, even though she and I don't agree on everything.
What have you ever said about Queen? That you can't be bothered to discuss them, and then you try to turn things on me.

snifflese, there is a mental problem going on here and that’s why it is a never ending merry-go-round !!!

And you say that without reading my posts?
I really can't believe you are bringing up mental problems in this way today after the letter AL put out there. The guy is more tactful than you ever could be, sweetcaroline/CNB. Mental health is no joke. All you have ever done is mock about it. Maybe AL will open up your eyes, ears and heart regarding it in his letter and music, because you sure have mocked Sam, his music and even his fans regarding how you feel about depressing things.
And you think I'm a negative, selfish, bitch. You are pretty much heartless. I hope you have some heart in there for what AL has gone through, cause you sure don't have it for anyone else.

Is Adam Lambert mental? We all knew he was ha ha ha

I'm wrong again am I.

Freddie was actually younger than Adam Lambert is now when his vocal problems started. He also leads a fairly clean life style, especially compared to Freddie, who in the late 70 and early to mid 80's, was into quite a lot of cocain use and wild hedonistic parties. He basically didn't care about the damage he did to himself.

Rodgers went through a wild rock star 70's period but by the late 80's was on the road to a much more healthy life style than Freddie had led.

Now days Rodgers, who is in the same age group as Freddie would have been can still sing like he could 40 years ago. Freddie on some tours couldn't sing like he did the tour before and in some cases the week before.

Lambert sings consistently from night to night purely because he knows how yo sing in a professional way and he takes care of his voice and him self. Freddie didn't always do that.

If you want to use the argument that Freddie couldn't sing at his best because he as such a showman and was always moving you should have watched or been going to see Van Halen in the early 80's. There show production was usuallybigger than Queen and David Lee Roth moved around more than Freddie. He couldn't sing that well live, but hey that didn't matter he moved around a lot. . . Or at least that seems to be your argument!

Wrong again, you just cant swallow the fact that Freddie is the greatest rock vocalist ever, and you have to try and make other artists sound better than Freddie.
You are wasting your time because history has been made and Freddie has done what he was put on earth to do.
He was not a rock star he was a legend and the greatest of all rock male vocalists, so yet again you have lost the argument or do you want to argue with the world over that one?
So Freddie had a wild exciting life snorting cocaine and sucking lots of cock and still pulled it off to be the greatest, not bad eh!

One of Freddie's major strengths was that he could sing in several styles convincingly. Look at the wide range of styles that Queen covered.

But if your going to single out Rock then Freddie would be in the same pond as Rob Halford, Ronnie James Dio, Brian Johnson, Robert Plant and several more. At the height of their prowess they were better rock vocalists than Freddie.

Yeah I know I'm wrong, Freddie is the greatest I've heard it all before. It's just a shame that through your blinded fandom view you seem to have missed what made Freddie great and so doing you're ignoring what made others great at what they did.

Yep. It would be really funny to hear Brian Johnson sing Lazing on a Sunday Afternoon, Dio attempt Who Needs You, or Halford have a go at Good Old Fashioned Lover Boy.

There's a covers album waiting to be made there!

Vocal Harmony I am far from blind and it seems the rest of the world agrees with me too.
There will never be another Freddie and it is well documented that he is officially the greatest rock vocalist ever!
According to you other singers are better yet they have not been considered greatest vocalists have they?
Time you took your rose coloured specs off dear!
Freddie made Queen who they were!
