Just curious...what turned you sour on One Year of Love and why did you absolutely love it before.
Personally, it's always been one of my all-time LEAST favorite Queen songs. I think it would have been a much better song if Freddie had taken a more subtle approach like he did on In Only Seven Days.
"So it wasn't AL that changed their minds about those shows." How do you always find a way to subtly diss Adam? I find it amazing how you do that!!
Switch, you will have to turn off your TV next Sunday because it has just been announced that they are playing at the Oscars:

How on earth are you taking that as a diss about AL? Obviously it wasn't him that changed Brian's and Roger's mind about those type of shows, that's a fact. They both appeared on it a couple of years before on Canadian Idol before they appeared on American Idol. The fact you think that is a diss about AL...I don't know why you feel that way about it. It wasn't and isn't meant as a diss at all.

Simply put, there are so many better Queen songs as I found out as time went on.
I guess my tastes changed. But honestly, it's the least powerful vocal I have ever heard Freddie sing, and the production and lyrics are just so... cheesey if you will. So typically 80s power ballad, and if Queen was ever typical, they were with OYOL. Less is more, and would have been better in this case, IMO.
Very true.
Yes...but Roger and Brian performing together is the closest thing there is on earth to Queen...unless John decides to come out of retirement.
We take what we can get with the little time there is left.

PrimejiveUsa Sure we all love Brian & Roger playing the music,
but to do it with somebody who was barely known and a novice working with a band as massive as Queen is a no no.
I still feel offended that after the massive hugely mega talented Freddie it all deflates like a punctured bicycle tyre with Adam Lambert.
Still the answer to the this thread : Freddie vs Adam the answer is Freddie is a billion times more clever and talented than Adam can even dream about. May & Taylor just used Lambert to be current and get the limelight again, quite a clever publicity stunt.[/QUOTE]
That "novice" was working in the industry from age 18, touring in theater productions and one seriously shitty job which 90% of people would have walked away from but he stuck it out because he's professional and has great work ethic, he did a 10 month 3/4 night in a row with one night off in between tour solo before teaming up with them and since then has managed to tour consistently both with them and solo for years without blowing out his voice so I'd say novice is not a word you can attribute to him. Brian has commented more than once that he's completely professional and dedicated to what he does and he's far from the only one.
We get he's not for you but that doesn't mean he's not talented or that he doesn't work hard. Give it a rest and do something you do like, it's the same tired old argument and it holds no more water now than it ever has.

Sorry but your post is not justified, the reason Lammies voice never blows out is because he is not a grafter on stage like Freddie was and he is not as energetic.
He does little as possible as i have been watching some of his performances.
Queen are nowhere as near as powerful now like they were in the 80s with Freddie.
Sure Lamberk may be professional and dedicated but that does not make him right for Queen.
He seems glued to Queen and will not fly away and get on with his own failing solo career so you saying he is just a guest is very unjustified because a guest would not hang around all these years with a band!

No the reason his voice doesn't blow out is he's a trained singer who knows how to use his voice without damaging it, that's why his singing appears so effortless even though it's anything but.
He's a guest who was asked to sing with them, without him they wouldn't be able to tour so how would that be fair if he just dumped them and said "well thanks it's been great but I've better things to do now so see ya"? He is getting on with his own career alongside the collaboration, have you missed all the things he's been involved in and still is, the fact he's releasing a new album that he's spent around 18 months recording between touring in the next few months, the fact he'll likely be promoting and touring said album which is likely why they haven't announced any other shows than the Aug/Sept one's, he sees no reason it has to be an either or situation if he can do both.
As to how he is on stage, he's nothing like Freddie and doesn't run around but people at the shows and the media all call him a showman, you may not see it but plenty do, there's more than one way to perform, not everyone can be a Freddie, Dave Grohl or Axl Rose, some people have a quieter energy and rely more on other ways of connecting.
Freddie was never the whole of the show ,Roger would have his Drum solo and Brian had and still does his fifteen minute Guitar solo.Some fans went for a hot dog when the solo's were done,but I found them interesting and it obviously gave Freddie time to recover for the second part of the show.

Sorry for that a glitch in the system.
