To be fair..that’s a good response
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.

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

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.

Who are you trying to fool. You have often compared Freddie to Lambert, more than anyone else here. Even with the chest hair aspect of it, as if one was better than the other.
You don't know the first thing about Freddie, if you did, you would know how much he evolved through the years in many ways. Musically, fashion wise, he was never stuck doing just one look or sound.
Damn right if Freddie was still here, and performing one would know about AL. That should tell you something how AL's career is lacking in many ways.

Well Queen fans on a Queen board wouldn't know about him but plenty other people would. Adam's career is doing fine, not everyone is destined to be an Elvis or Freddie but there's plenty artists out there doing their thing and having a great career, being a legend isn't a necessity.

How many would know about him, given that he is better known for singing Queen songs and cover songs than his own music?
Yea, he's doing fine, but he would not be where is now without the Queen legacy.

You've absolutely no way to know that, he was already doing fine before teaming up with Brian & Roger and pleny people knew about him so if he hadn't started touring with them he'd have just concetrated more on his solo career and other opportunities. He's not more known for singing Queen songs at all, he sings WITH Queen but he's known for doing his own solo stuff in between and yeah he does the odd cover for special events like the Kennedy Center, so do lots of artists.

I do t think many people knew of him before Q+AL started.
Yes, he is known own more for singing Queen songs than his solo music, that's pretty obvious.
He sings with Brian and Roger, not with Queen, big difference.

People knew of him before QAL, he was touring the world solo and even won favourite international artist of the year in China, his albums charted at No 3, 1 and 3 and was invited to various events to speak or perform relating to LGBT issues.
Just because he sings with Brian & Roger (and they are still part of Queen hence it's called Queen +) doesn't mean he's more known for singing Queen songs, plenty fans are more interested in his solo work and solo tours than the Queen stuff and he's known for both and lots of other stuff as well.
