1 ADD impacts all sorts of things, anything requiring a lot of concentration so not just reading and classwork.

2 The producers on his latest project were all hand picked, he collaborated with people he chose (musicians, writers and producers) and they were there to work with him to produce the songs the way he wanted and it's obvious the lyrics are personal, I never said he wrote them alone but the message is what he wanted to say regardless if he had help with the writing process.

3 How many bands do you know that write music but their singer goes off touring with a different band for much of the year and they sit twiddling their thumbs instead of making an album and then touring it together? I doubt he could find a bunch of musicians who'd be happy with that. Like I said the people he worked with on this project were hand picked by him, there was no label telling him who to work with he chose people he either knew and had worked with before or liked other stuff they'd done and contacted them to collaborate with. All solo artists have to work that way unless they do the whole thing themselves, there's nothing wrong with the way he did this project, it was done the way he wanted and he had control over how they put the songs together so if he's happy with it I don't see any issue personally.

5 Queen songs are sacred to some but others realize the originals aren't going anywhere and are happy for others to put their own interpretation on them, it doesn't take anything away from the original and Adam is not the kind of person who want's to just do things the way they were written, every cover he does he changes that's just who he is so it's pointless to expect him to be different when singing with Brian & Roger, they clearly knew that about him from the start and are happy with what he does.

8 His new EP isn't generic and computerized it's done with live instruments and each song is different so no idea where you get generic from. I like it doesn't mean you have to but that doesn't make it bad either, it's personal taste at the end of the day.

9 If you think Adam just listens to his management you don't know much about him and as I've said his latest music isn't computerized, the reason he went indie is to get away from what the labels and management were telling him to do. He changed management as well as going indie because he wanted a complete fresh start and this project has been done his own way with musicians and producers he wanted to work with which is the reason it's different people on each song. Just because you personally don't like it doesn't make how he did it wrong and regardless what you think of it it's done with musicians in the studio playing live instruments and with Adam having input into how it's done, he didn't just let them do whatever he collaborated as in they jammed together and played around with the songs until they were how he wanted.

10 Maybe you aren't a fan of that type of singing, I love 80's hair metal so I like it and it seems plenty other people do by the response he gets. He's never gonna please everyone but why should he change who he is to please some?

Wanting him to sound true to the original is pointless, Brian & Roger have given him a lot of freedom to interpret the songs the way he wants and since Adam changes any song he ever sings I very much doubt that's gonna change now. Some die hard fans don't like it but others don't mind and I've seen plenty of comments saying they like that he doesn't try to copy the original. Again he can't please everyone so the only thing to do is be himself and some will like it and some won't, luckily I do.

He seems like an alright guy in interviews.

However, when it comes to his performances...

I don't like his voice whatsoever. His voice is thin, harsh, and grating. And he sounds like shit compared to Freddie Mercury (comparisons are inevitable, being as he's singing songs that Freddie Mercury sang). That said, he sounds like shit regardless, either compared to far lesser singers than Freddie Mercury or without any comparisons whatsoever, due to his grating tone.

His image is cringeworthy. He looks inauthentic, like a third rate version of George Michael. Or like someone attending fancy dress party in a cheap, dodgy outfit.

His solo output is about as mediocre as you can get too. [/QUOTE]

I hate to say it but you nailed it lol

Yes, I like him. I think he is a good human being. [/QUOTE]


No he is an arrogant prick. His admiration of Freddie is a pure act. When he is on stage he is the arrogant twat he is

I also think he has one of the best voices in the world right now. [/QUOTE]
No-only if you like wining powerless girl's voices

I just think he is singing the wrong kind of music [/QUOTE]
No matter what music he is trying to sing he is always destroying it. Be it Queen or Zeppelin or Cher. Crap bar 5

One of the many differences between you and me is that although I don't rate Lambert, I don't spend almost every day of the year - year in, year out - obsessing over Adam Lambert and his fans.

You do, and that's extremely fucking pathetic.

Perhaps at some point you become self aware and manage to work through your problems. I doubt that'll happen though.[/QUOTE]

I have no problems at all. I just hate this tool that's all

[/QUOTE]

I already know your opinion. I disagree. I can't stand his voice.
And I've heard him live. He sounds just as bad as he does on video, except louder. [/QUOTE]

You don't make it seem appealing, but no worries the hype from SweetCaroline is even less appealing.

Why do you think two great musicians like Brian and Roger are so thrilled to perform over 200 shows worldwide with a guy like Adam if he wasn’t a special vocalist able to handle anything in their iconic Queen catalog?

You might not like his tone because it isn’t exactly like Freddie’s but Adam is a dependable, professional musician who can handle the rigors of back to back shows and has the temperament to cope with whatever comes along the way! He wouldn’t have made it past that first show in Kiev if he didn’t have the right attitude, charisma, sense of humor. His voice is NOT grating. In fact some people complain that it is too smooth for rock n roll. I have always considered him a chameleon who can perform any genre of music just like they have said about Freddie. Both Freddie
and Adam have sung opera as well as rock! How many singers can do that?

Hey, we can’t have Freddie so I believe Ada
is the next best thing!

I think you have hearing problems. He has sang off key.
Must be heard live you say, because opinion aren't valid even when people have gone to see them live and it doesn't match your views of it being spectacular, magnificent and magical!!!
I expect you to lose your shit at Day dop any second now.

And here ya go, bigging him up and promoting him again. Ta da.
Oh hey everyone we can't have Freddie so you believe AL is the next best thing, says SweetCaroline without a care. And you say that on Queen boards to gloat.
AL hasn't even tried to sing the full back catalogue of Queen's music that I'm aware of. Do you know if AL tried to sing every Queen song, or are you just hyping him up. Of course, you are just hyping him up.
Boy, you still like comparing Freddie to AL and vice versa, by the way, AL isn't even close to being like Freddie. Freddie had a much varied carrer than AL cold ever hope to have, to be blunt.
AL hasn't tried to sing every genre as far as I know. He is pretty much known for the covers that he sings that doesn't not mean he can sing everything genre.
Who are you comparing AL to here, some of us know your taste in music is hardly varied at all. I think you listen to AL and Q+AL and that's your scope of liking music.

Compared to who exactly? I hate your bullshit, we can't have Freddie,
so you think AL is the next best thing, that's how your damn mind works . You are twisted that much you can't even try to hide how you really feel.
You dig your holes and you don't even realize it.

I can post here, you sparkle cow. I guess you haven't given up just yet, have you? Too bad that you just won't STFU with your antics.
I don't drool over Sam Smith, I never have, I like the guy for his music and talent. Have you lusted over AL lately? No Lambert pics to find swoon over these days on Queen boards, I take it. Sorry, not sorry.
Tickets for a Q+AL show will be given away, so much for him coming in hot, so no wonder you got to big him up any chance you can think of. You have done that literally 100s, ( if not more than that) of times by now.
Go to an AL site where you can live in your fantasy world about AL and you being his second mother. People are more realistic here, which you can't stand, or even a differing opinion even, see above your reaction. Every time you think you have a new audience on Queen boards, you can't help but to big up AL, as if you are trying to sell his toenails clippings or something,. You say I'm stalking you is what you use to try to get people on your side. Then the Sam Smith crap you pull, as if I have ever drooled over the guy. At least I can say I like Sam Smith for his music, and not how he looks, which I know how AL looks is just so important for you.
You really think we can't have Freddie so in your mind AL is the next best thing next to Freddie, but you can't even explain why. Once again, you lose your shit on me to deflect from your own shit. You fkd up once again, and let it be known what you really think. But instead of even being sorry, guess what you do instead, say I'm stalking you and say I'm drooling over another artist.
I'm truly sorry AL has a "fan" like you. You say you are a Queen fan, but like I said earlier today, you treat Queen boards like shit.
You nasty, entitled, bitter woman. Well, we know what you really feel now. AL can't ever match the legacy, talent and guts that Freddie had during his life. That's for damn sure.

We have Freddie. There’s hundreds and hundreds of videos and songs.

You’ve seen Adam 4 times, SweetCaroline. You must get bored listening to Adam’s songs and videos, there’s not much product compared to Queen and Freddie.

To say that we can’t have Freddie is the dumbest thing you’ve ever said. Ever.
