Yes, I like him. I think he is a good human being. I also think he has one of the best voices in the world right now. I just think he is singing the wrong kind of music on his own albums. He has more of a classical, pure kind of voice and the poppy, edm stuff just doesn't suit it necessarily. I love him singing Queen music because it takes a really good voice to do justice to their music. It is very difficult for anyone to sing. There is a bit of operatic style singing and the ballads which I love. The really rock songs are pretty good and he has improved on them since 2012, but my favs are the big sweeping ballads, Love Kills, Save Me, WWTLF and so forth. I also love him singing things like Radio Gaga, I was Born to Love you, Seven Seas of Rhye, UP. So, yes, I think he has an amazing voice and I would really like a DVD or Cd or something from the QL shows.. I don't think there is another singer who could do equal justice to all the different genres in the Queen catalog.

He is a screamer not a Singer. He sounds like a whining lil girl. His voice is completely powerless on rock songs. See Save me and others. His vocal gymnastics are annoying and totally unnecessary. Screaming high notes does not equal being a good singer. He is atrocious and he is destroying every Queen song he is trying

He seems like a nice guy, I think at times feels very insecure, other times I think he gets into a mood where he thinks he’s the most attractive man in the world.
Here’s some recommendations
1. He needs piano lessons.
2. He needs to learn to write a song by himself.
3. He needs a band.
4. The pelvis thrusting is boring, it’s not interesting or sexy, it’s a mockery of sex and is an insult to Queen’s music.
5. He needs to realize Somebody To Love is a song about actually wanting love, not a quickie in a truck stop.
6. He needs to move around more on stage, Roseanne Barr has more body movement
7. His facial expressions are terrible, he needs to calm down with those.
8. He needs to stop releasing filler.
9. He needs to stop listening to his management and learn to make his own decisions.
10. He needs to relax more while singing Queen songs. He acts as if he needs to show off his vocals... his performances sound generic. He’s a good singer, but no one has shown him how to properly sing. Some people do need singing lessons!

1 Doesn't want piano lessons, had them as a kid and his attention span isn't suited to learning an instrument. From things his mum and dad said he sounds like he might have ADD.
2 Prefers to collaborate but it's obvious in a lot of songs they're his own lyrics maybe tweaked by others but basically you can tell they're what he wants to say.
3 Maybe but it can't happen while he's singing with Brian & Roger, no band will wait around for bits of gigs here and there that's why he's used people hand picked for his bands in the past but clearly the same people won't always be available.
4 I don't care either way but some of his fans love it and it didn't do Elvis any harm.
5 He does but he likes to have fun with it, just because it meant one thing to Freddie doesn't mean he has to copy him, he's interpreting it his own way, some love it some don't, subjective.
6 He does move around but not in the same way Freddie did, he's a different type of artist and in his own shows he moves a lot more but then a lot of his music is dancy, would look pretty daft dancing to a lot of Queen songs.
7 Up close on vids I'm inclined to agree but having seen him live it's a totally different thing when you aren't two feet from him and there's lots of other stuff going on.
8 I like his new EP, didn't like New Eyes and Commin in Hot, loved Feel Something but was pleasantly surprised by his new music, wasn't what I expected based on the previous two songs.
9 He makes his own decisions now, this is the first time he's been indie and had the freedom to do what he wants so for good or bad his decisions are his own now.
10 Have you heard the response when he lets loose and "show's off his vocals"? Have you seen the comments when he doesn't? He's made a rod for his own back on Idol and his first tour by doing lots of vocal acrobatics and it's what people seem to want, I read plenty of comments on the last QAL US tour saying he's toned down and has he lost his range, why's he not doing all the crazy high notes etc, seems people want, not everyone but enough that they expect it. He had singing lessons from age 10 and has used vocal coaches to get ready for tours etc, not sure how much more vocal lessons you think he needs. What you're describing is his choice of how to sing, vocal lessons aren't needed for that it's more down to artistry and interpretation and while you think it sounds generic a lot of reviews say the complete opposite so it's again subjective really.
He is a nice guy and I do agree he's probably more insecure than his persona would suggest which is why I don't think he thinks he's the most attractive guy in the world at all but I do think he covers any insecurity by focusing on his appearance, he's called it smoke and mirrors plenty of times. I think singing with Queen is a tough gig, he knows he's being judged against Freddie constantly so I imagine anyone without a huge ego would feel somewhat insecure in that situation.

Who said? Please show me a video or an audio clip of him discussing his songwriting talents while alone. He collaborates because he can’t write a song by himself. And you better believe his producers play a huge role of his songs, even the music. Adam talking about the topic of a song has nothing to do with what’s actually written by him.

Having a band is irrelevant to touring. I’m talking about him needing a band so that he has others to write songs and record with him and the songs will suit Adam’s voice better. It’ll be more meaningful, because it won’t be just some hired songwriter who could care less about how the song goes. He needs only one producer for an album as well…. no rap producers.

Yes, and Queen songs are sacred. They are about Freddie, not Adam. Especially a love ballad like that, a song about wanting someone’s love. I think he has mistaken the song for Get Down Make Love or Body Language.

He moves very slowly and a lot of the time will just stand in one place while making exaggerated hand movements. I don’t want him to be Freddie, or to dance like Freddie. Rock and roll isn’t about standing still, however. He stands around like an opera singer, but he’s no opera singer.

The management works for Adam, not the record label. A manager gives advice. Some artists take it, some not. Adam takes it all the time. If he didn’t, he’d be doing songs that weren’t generic and computerized. His singles flop because it’s the same product released over and over again. If his management stepped in and said, “You know Adam, maybe you should try…” but they never do. They let him release the same crap time and time again.

Singing a line, Adam has the habit of holding the end note. It makes it sound more poppy. He loves some notes a lot higher than he should, and holds them. During a dirty hard rock song, hearing a loud, none gritty high pitched voice is not ideal. It’d be like taking a female vocalist and having them sing a hard rock song in a bubblegum pop kind of way.

Hardcore Freddie fans don’t want him to sing or look like Freddie. They do however want Adam to respect the songs and sing them in the same manner… straightforward. Have you ever heard multiple cover versions of a song, and some sound similar to the original version, yet some sound so far off, it’s almost like a new song? Yeah, Freddie fans want it more straightforward.

During a dirty hard rock song, hearing a loud, none gritty high pitched voice is not ideal. It’d be like taking a female vocalist and having them sing a hard rock song in a bubblegum pop kind of way.
[QUOTE] He is a nice guy and I do agree he's probably more insecure than his persona would suggest which is why I don't think he thinks he's the most attractive guy in the world at all but I do think he covers any insecurity by focusing on his appearance, he's called it smoke and mirrors plenty of times. I think singing with Queen is a tough gig, he knows he's being judged against Freddie constantly so I imagine anyone without a huge ego would feel somewhat insecure in that situation. [/QUOTE]
Hardcore Freddie fans don’t want him to sing or look like Freddie. They do however want Adam to respect the songs and sing them in the same manner… straightforward. Have you ever heard multiple cover versions of a song, and some sound similar to the original version, yet some sound so far off, it’s almost like a new song? Yeah, Freddie fans want it more straightforward.

And honestly, what I should be saying is... HIS POOR MANAGEMENT DOESN'T TELL HIM THE RIGHT THINGS TO DO. As long as they are paid, his singles can keep flopping. He needs better management.
