lip syncing?

Anyone who thinks Adam would lip sync knows nothing about the guy, he performed when he had severe bronchitis on the 2015 Queen tour and had to cancel the next show, would just have lip synced and saved himself the aggro if he ever did that. You can clearly see on one Youtube vid (can't just find it at the moment) that he lifts the wrong hand to sing into (no mic) and there's no sound. How many times has he sang the wrong lyrics (great singer, remembering lyrics not his strong suit), and how many versions of the songs does he sing on tour, they all sound slightly different, a high note here one night and in a different place the next, he'd have to have 20 different tracks to mime to and remember which was which.

It's very obvious when he uses a backing track in his solo tour and sings over it as he does for some songs, you can't mistake it for all live and there's no way he'd get away with it sounding live if he did that with Queen so the idea they use tracks or lip sync is ludicrous. There was clearly either a sync issue or someone activated a track they shouldn't have and threw them off for a few seconds. The official stream wasn't that out of sync either and people who saw it live have explained what happened.

Could they be embarrassed? AL has been laying low, because he was unwell and had to cancel network TV appearances and an Iheart performance. It's unlike him to be so quiet.
I wish the guys would explain, but my take on it is that they'd rather brush it under the rug.
I'd expect something like this to happen in the early Q+AL days, but this far in, and for a big time event...yikes, it was a mess. Not their best at all.

Why would they explain something that was simply some kind of sound, sync error or similar? To my knowledge they've never gone public to explain any mistakes in the past so why would they now and it was far from a mess, that was one song and they got rave reviews in the media and from fans at the show for the entire concert, one small sync mistake in an hour concert could hardly be considered to have spoiled the whole thing, it's live, shit happens.

Just to point. It was in sync for most of the song.. now whether it's a security tape or it was a dupe for Adam to mime to to give himself a rest, for the (entire?) song, i wouldn't know.

Would require further scrutiny than my life is able to give at the moment (i.e. tracking down prior performances and testing wavelengths)

But like i said maybe they mimed some of this as it was a shared bill.

(*a point lost on the retort of the Glambertstein monster here)

I'm just shocked that this revealed they have a track and may be using em.

You DO realize that live "performance" I'm the pop (not Rock) world often utilizes stuff like this which can be conveyed rather sophisticatedsophisticatedly with vocal triggers. I.e. it's no longer simply played back but the performer can dip out if there's no input from their own voice at the time.

It's a cheat and is being utilized all over. ..even making it's way into rock acts.

It's just shocking this happened at all. I hadn't bothered to look back at it when this all came out because it's kind of a boring gig.


Seems the band thought so as well.

KISS is currently ripping off bands by doing nearly their entire act with tracks (excuses given to coordinating time sync with the visuals aren't forgiven - there have been multiple comparisons from show to show indicating they're donning the gear and walking onstage but hardly performing)[/QUOTE]

There's no way they are using tracks they aren't that stupid and would have been found out long since if that was the case.

Yup, they are professional. So they just carried on as if nothing happened. Imagine that? They didn’t cuss, cry or start over!

“Carry on, carry on as if nothing ever happened. Nothing really matters. Any way the wind blows!”

The concert was completely genuine!! It's a live event! And the best performance in US that I ever seen!! (I attended more than 10 concerts in different cities)

ACCR, you better believe it. I only saw one but it was golden! 10 cities! Did you hitch a ride on that QAL private plane?

Imagine you with your head so far up AL's ass that you can't tell when things go wrong...Oh wait.

Because some of us picked up on some thing/s not being right with performance.
At least you admit shit happens. I really don't think this was their best performance by a long shot.

What, you no longer track flights? I bet you wish you were the one to hitch a ride on their private plane, so you could mother AL and complain to Brian when threads are locked on Queen boards.

But who cares if there was a little glitch? Wow, aren't you special because you saw something wasn't right with the performance. It was one song and then they carried on as all great performers do. I remember when Adam singing a line wrong in BR was a big deal for you and worth talking about for the next year. No one is perfect and most people can ignore a tiny slip up and still say, wasn't that great? I don't think it ruined anybody else's enjoyment of the performance, as people seemed to be loving it on TV. Small wonder that the real Queen fans can make such a mountain out of a molehill. Unbelievable. I hope you are that perfect and picky in your own life. You must be a real joy to live with is all I can say.

For your information, it's not only me who noticed something wasn't right with their performance here. Than fan video made it even more obvious.
Who cares, looks like someone here has trouble even comprehending the fact it didn't go to plan, let alone even admitting to it.
Yesterday you said you decided I'm not human, and today I must be a real joy to live with. Get your digs in to deflect as you always do.
Must be a bubble ready to pop in the Lambert land you live in. Some people say something didn't go right here, you try to clap back Freddie messed up. You truly think that will make AL look better somehow, well good luck to you.

It has nothing to do with Adam or Freddie really. It was a glitch in the sound system somehow. I doubt a whole lot of people anywhere else have been agonizing over this big problem. They rolled with it and carried and enjoyed the rest of the concert. I watched it on TV and thought it was a little odd and then forgot about it. It is a nothing burger, much ado about nothing, that doesn't require an explanation or an apology or an anything. Artists don't need to tell anyone if there is a little problem. They may not even be sure exactly what caused this little blip. This reminds me of the wrong lines in BR which was brought up forever. When things are done live, there are little problems. Such is life. I brought Freddie up because he is your idol and the person you measure everyone else up to and he had issues some nights. So what? How many months will this HUGE mistake be discussed here on QOL? I think the topic is already past its expiration date. it is not that interesting!

Yesterday you were trying to clap back Freddie made mistakes, I think you used the term messed up. I've never denied he messed up. I know full well he did.
Considering how quiet AL has been lately, I do wish Brian or Roger would address it. It does no one any good to pretend nothing went wrong here. I think you realise it didn't go perfectly.
Freddie isn't my idol, hell no, but he's someone I still admire and respect. If that bugs you on a Queen board no less then go.
People discuss what they want to discuss, until yesterday I hadon't not seen this particular fan video. I gave my thoughts on it, which is against no rules here or on QOL.
I think some Lambert fans would rather have everyone believe the guy is perfect all the time, and that's simply not true. Again, even I realise and admit Freddie messed up. Will a person here admit that AL isn't perfect, no I don't think so. It's more than just being stubborn, it's living in a fantasy land.
Call me what you want to try to deflect from this. It's what you do.

But who cares and why would Roger and Brian address it? It is not our business and they may not even be sure and probably aren't as upset about it as your are. Nobody is saying Adam is perfect, where do you get that from? I have said he makes mistakes, but I don't think he can be blamed for this one. I don't care if he flubs a line or any of that other stuff. I don't expect perfection out of anyone. I think he makes less mistakes singing than almost anyone because of his technique. His singing is impeccable even if he flubs a line. He has broken down laughing when something silly happens and the audience laughs with him. No one maintains he is perfect, but for me, the shows are as close to perfect as they can be even with little bloopers. I could give him an earful about mistakes I think he makes with his career and his music, so no, I don't think he is perfect at all.

All I hear is CNB blah blah
