@Vocal Harmony since when have you been classed as "normal" ? Far from it i think, you are immature a proper shit stirrer and you think Freddie
is NOT the greatest male vocalist ever! Sad person you are.[/QUOTE]

So true ... but Kerry Ellis is superior to Frederick.

This thread is populated by some idiots.

I have never claimed Freddie wasn't great, amazing or what ever.

I do however have realistic views of what is brilliant and what is the best in the world at something. Judging any art form as being the best is never easy or going to provide a conclusive answer. I believe Freddie was the greatest front man ever. Though I also think as front men go in the 80's David Lee Roth came close and possibly in some ways was as good, if you could put up with his lack of singing ability live. As a recording artist in the world of rock/pop Freddie was as good as it got. As a live vocalist on a good night he was clearly the best but being the best was beyond his vocal strength on some nights and during some legs on certain tours.

Someone on here said Freddie was the greatest singer ever. Bocelli, Enrico Caruso, Placido Domingo, Hvorostovsky, Carreres, Boris Christoff. . . . . Maybe Miracle would like to explain where Freddie Mercury fits into that list, being as he is claiming best in the world status. Or maybe he'll just choose to prove his qualification as an idiot by either claiming he's never heard of them or that they are rubbish as that's the view he's taken before when faced with something he can't explain or doesn't agre with.

Miracle if you're going to claim someone is the best singer in the world, at least have a realistic idea of the subject you are talking about!

Yup the four loonies drooling over Lameturd the goat

runner_70 its wierd you quoted that line then provided your over used claim about forum members.

It's clear that if you had the intelligence needed you would have at least tried to argue against what I said, even if it was just to show Miracle some support. Or maybe you're not stupid enough to agree with that claim that Freddie was the best singer in the world. .

Either way I can think of two of the four loonies, but I'm struggling to name the other two, in fact after you and Miracle who else is there.

. . . . Freddie is arguably the greatest rock male singer ever and the world would agree! (apart from you) who thinks Adam is better.). . .

. . . educate yourself and listen to the late great Freddie Mercury and understand the skill and craft of his voice. . . . [/QUOTE]

I completely agree with the first comment. But being the greatest "rock male singer" is not what you originally said best singer in the world is a totally different claim snd it's the one you originally made.

"Arguably the greatest. . . " is good, it invites disagreement as no one singer is perfect

The next bit about me educating myself and listening to Freddie, I have for years, but also listened to other singers too which is why my comments are justified and not made from a fan boy prospective.

As regards to Lambert I've never ever said he is better than Freddie. What I have said is that he is more capable of using the full range of his voice because he has 1, probably been taught to sing. 2, has never strained his vocal chords and knows how to look after his voice properly which is something Freddie didn't do. And therefore more able to give a more balanced performance over an entire tour.

Before you accuse me of saying stuff I haven't why don't you go though the history of posts on this site and try quoting from my posts if what you claim is true.

I am curious, Miracle, as to whether or not you have ever been to a QAL show and heard Adam? If not, how would you know what kind of range Adam has? You ought to check out some vocal critiques from people who are experts in singing, opera and teaching singing. Adam has a range that includes notes that very few of the top operatic tenors in the world can sing. He can also sing much lower than years ago. Many people have a wide range. but he can actually sing all of those notes and hit them beautifully. He can actually hit all of them LIVE, unlike a lot of singers and that is a big difference between him and many others. Hitting notes in the studio or with autotune don't count IMO. Adam can sing rock, depends on the kind of rock, but there is nothing he really can't sing. FM is a legend and no one on here has ever said that Adam is, so why is that even an issue? You folks like to misrepresent what some of us say and try to pretend it is something which it totally wasn't, so so that you can bitch and moan about it. No Adam fan has ever said here that Adam was a legend or a better rock singer than Freddie, so what is the issue?

That's the problem. Anyone can sing rock. Nothing should "depend" though when being a professional singer. You either got it or you don't. Look at the diversity in Queen's songs... Freddie pulled them all off 100%... not just kind of... but did. No depends about it!

If Freddie had to have had limited himself, Queen wouldn't have existed further than the first Queen album.

I truly believe if Adam had his own band, but not a hard rock band for sure, that maybe he could find his place in the industry. He needs a band to work with, not hired songwriters.

I agree to a point, it's obviously a lot easier to write great music and have a consistent sound if you have a bunch of talented musicians who can play various instruments and write music but while he's still doing the QAL thing he couldn't/wouldn't have been able to have his own band, he's been touring pretty consistently since 2014 with Brian & Roger so he couldn't have had a band hanging around waiting for him to have a bit of free time, they would have wanted to be recording and touring more than he'd be able.

Sorry but I don't agree, Freddie could sing rock but not all types of rock, he wouldn't have been able to sing some styles of rock the way the original did he would have had to adapt them to his voice type the same way Adam has to adapt the songs to his. You can't make someone with Freddie's type of rock voice sound like a Mike Patton, Geoff Tate, Axl or Seb Bach any more than they could sound like Freddie style, there's tons of rock singers and they all sound very different and they wouldn't all be able to sing any style of rock in the original style.

Freddie has benefitted from everyone else, since the Tribute Concert, trying to do his songs and naturally not being as good.

But of course Freddie would only be bringing his own style if he covered other rock bands, tending towards a baroque pastiche version . I’d say he would have nailed anyone from the Sex Pistols to Black Sabbath in this fashion.
