Fred didn't have to be perfect every night. He was a rock singer in a rock band. His job was to put on a show, make good music, energise the crowd etc. It wasn't his job to win a singing contest every night so that people 30 years later could point out every wrong note. I doubt anyone else will ever match what Fred achieved in his life.

And that's the point and why it's ridiculous of some to keep comparing Freddie and Adam, they are completely different types of singers/artists and for people to keep expecting Adam to sing or perform like Freddie is as pointless as anyone expecting Freddie to have sung and performed like someone else. All artists have their strengths and weaknesses and make the best of what they have.

We are still waiting for the arsenal of "a whole host of "rock & metal" musicians who rate Adam" -enlighten us please!

just being objective. i think when people make definite statements they should back them up.

it will be interesting to see if rockchic65's dictionary defines "a whole host" as:-
1. literally - as per correct meaning: A very large number or collection of people or things.
2. at least a dozen or so rock/metal musicians
3. less than a handful of people
4. nobody at all, but she once saw someone famous in the same room as AL
5. just the random imaginings of rockchic65

my guess? just a chance of 3, but more likely 4 or 5

Mike Portnoy -Thank you @adamlambert for being the ONLY singer that could carry that torch (and doing it so incredibly well)
They could not have found a singer more talented to front the band than Adam Lambert.

Jeff Scott Soto, "Quite possibly the best version of WWTLF, heard it sung tonight Queenwillrock AdamLambert.

Alice Cooper, “I’ll tell you what the first time I saw Adam Lambert on Idol and your not gonna believe this I said that guy should sing for Queen”.

Meatloaf, listen for yourself - http://youtu.be/FGbNlnq3cLA - the producer he mentions (Rob Cavallo) also thinks Adam is brilliant.

Dee Snider replying to a question "are you supporting Adam Lambert, I'm lost tho I'm thrilled to see you tweeting"
Dee "yes I am Adam Lambert has an amazing voice.

Dee again "Being a DAY ONE - ALBUM ONE - TOUR ONE (opening for Mott the Hoople) Queen fan & worshipper of Freddie Mercury (not that my vocal style shows it)...I TOTALLY AGREE!
adamlambert is the perfect replacement. Not an imitator, but respectful of the legacy with his own amazing voice!

Rick Savage, Joe Elliot, "For me the absolute highlight of last Saturdays show at the 3Arena in Dublin was Queen and Adam Lambert playing that song. Unbelievable. The lights, the lasers, the sound, the performances of everybody on stage was absolutely top notch. If you haven't got a ticket yet, go see these guys. Legends of course we all know that. Adam Lambert will be the first to stand up and say he's no Fred, but my goodness one of the best live vocals I've ever heard. And Rick Savage who was sat next to me said exactly the same thing. Was Adam Lambert last week in Dublin."

Slash - Has said he only went on Idol as a mentor because of hearing Adam sing.

Rob Halford - my personal favourite - http://youtu.be/Gmuhl_6M-t0

James Michael "there's probably not a better male singer on the planet than Adam Lambert" Also listens to Adam with earbuds for half an hour before his shows to get in the headspace of vocal placement etc.

Will they do for now?

Will that include Brian and Roger? ;-)

No, B & R are a given and don't need me to repeat their comments.

To be fair..that’s a good response

So why is it Adam never wins any best male vocalist awards in the UK then?
Freddie nearly always wins greatest male vocalist so is it because many people associate Adam as a west end singer and not a rock / pop star? I and many others think Adam is the wrong fit for a 70s rock and roll band considering Adam's style of singing is a million miles away from rock & roll ?

I don’t know what you are so worried about. Freddie is considered a better singer and performer by almost everyone in the world, including AL himself. Even his songwriting alone puts him in the top echelon. He is an undisputed legend.
That doesn’t mean some people can’t find something positive to say about Lambert.

OK those hordes of Metal Musicians are not even a dozen. Most of them praise the tool to get some free tickets and a VIP treat and are friends with Maylor. SLash hated the way he oversang and told him that during AI

In case you didn't notice some of them were well before he teamed up with Brian & Roger and of the others if they're friends of Maylor then they don't need to be praising him to get free tickets they'll get them anyway. They certainly don't need to take to twitter and answer people about him they could just post a generic comment about the show being good and leave it at that. Slash didn't hate how he sang and they even kept in contact afterwards and were planning to do something together. Slash's comment was about using his lower register and it being really cool when he did that, he just said to not improvise so much in the high register.

Exactly, there's a weird dichotomy going on, on the one hand they're saying Adam's rubbish and doesn't fit Queen yet spending all their time defending Freddie as if Adam's gonna somehow usurp him in people's minds. As you point out even Adam is in awe of Freddie and doesn't put himself on the same level.

The person who compares AL with Freddie more than anyone else here is SweetCaroline...right down to chest hair.
AL will never be anywhere near Freddie, that's a fact. We have some Glamberts here who would have people believe AL pretty much saved Brian's and Roger’s careers and helped Queen be even more popular, which is a load of crap. Brian and Roger hardly sat on their asses doing nothing before AL came along, and it's been pointed out Queen's music was always popular, well before AL.

But even more popular in the last three years. Stats can prove the sudden increase of streaming.

That's not because of AL. I dare say the biopic has managed to get Queen new fans more than Q+AL has.Sorry, not sorry, Lambert isn't the reason for Queen's resurgence these last few years.

It never ends! The only reason I have compared the two is when butt hurt Freddie fans attack Adam for his singing or what he wears on stage. Then I have pointed out some of the outrageous outfits Freddie wore back in the day. It doesn’t matter. That was then and this is now. Some people like to go around and around in circles and never get to the end. If Freddie was here and still performing no one would know who Adam is because none of this would have happened.

Oh the thought of that sounds amazing!
