The two idiots before you did. Lamebird is a screamer hitting high notes with his paperthin voice and annoying yodeling. I rather have Freddie with a cold than this wanker

The Circle of Eidolon reads and learns. We have read this thread.

runner_70 you have called two forum members idiots for having an opinion on the subject of this thread.

You seem to have forgotten that this is a forum where discussion takes place. This discussion is one which you started.

If you don't like having no control of the outcome maybe some thought before opening a thread could go a long way.

We The Circle of Eidolon have spoken but yet again as history shows you've learnt nothing.

Brilliant!!!

Adam's vocal gymnastics are overwrought. Freddie's performances are warm and appropriately emotionally delivered.

There are plenty of excellent live performances by Freddie that the occasional less than perfect performance is unimportant.

I would take a substandard performance of Freddie over Adam anytime.

Heck, even Seal's emotional tribute performance of Who Wants to Live Forever is better than Adam's performance of this song.

With you here. AL seems as if he is trying way to hard just to try to impress with lack of emotion most of the time,IMO. It's not all about hitting the high notes when it comes to Queen's music. It's about emotion and feeling.

Well said

Freddie is the greatest, there's no denying it. But, he wasn't the most consistent singer ever. Some tours are incredibly weak compared to others e.g. The Works Tour vs Crazy Tour. But, there's no denying that at every one of these shows he still showed his emotion and connectivity with the audience which very few people have ever been able to do to the same extent.

Adam is a great singer who can hit all the notes without any problems which Freddie couldn't all the time - some songs had to have key changes to help him sing live, but I don't want to take that away from Freddie because his singing on these are still incredibly powerful. Adam does a very theatrical performance with everything he sings which you couldn't do in Freddie's lifetime which just shows how different times are now from when they were back then which makes it incredibly hard to compare.

Adam definitely gives Freddie a run for his money on his singing ability but generally Freddie's emotion and powerfulness with his singing is faultless at nearly every show he ever did.

Good singing is more than just hitting the notes. As you note, Freddie's singing with showmanship, emotion and power is indispensible.

I would rather listen to Freddie during the Works tour with his voice as raw as a vulture's crotch than listen to QAL.

I would rather listen to QPR, with Paul Rodger's limited voice but excellent showmanship than put up with Adam's cheesy stunts and vocal histronics.

Well at least PR wasn't a horn dog looking for Somebody To Love, so at least there is that. I sometimes look at AL, and it comes across as if he's brazen...and not in a good way. He isn't very authentic sometimes. The most real I've seen AL in all the years of Q+AL is when he dedicated a song to the shooting victims. Gotta admit, I really liked him singing three other songs as well, which I dare ot mention because a glambert or two will here will have something to say about it.
Freddie at his "worst" still is better than AL and his...acting. I've said many times being able to hit high notes isn't everything. There was so much more to Freddie than hitting notes. AL can hit notes sure, but I rather have raw, real emotion and grit any day. Freddie had that ans so much more and it was a big part of his appeal.

Paul Rodger's range is hardly limited, it's over 3 octaves. He's the grear singer. As you said above, vocalist can't be defined by his range only. "Rangeless" Adele is a good example!
Apologies to Paul's fans but I find his singing style boring. Don't think I could've stomached a 2,5 hours show with him reading lyrics he wouldn't have bothered to learn (talking about his showmanship).
Would be really nice if he appeared as a guest at one of the Queen + AL shows though. Maybe he could sing his own song and one Queen song with Adam.

Adam is incredible vocalist live, not sure why there's so much snobbery towards him. Would've been so much worse if he acted as a hard rocker instead of genuine Adam Lambert with a self deprecating sense of humour.

Paul Rodgers singing a Queen song with ALat a Q+AL concert. I doubt that will ever happen. Say what you want about Paul and Q+PR, at least there was no cheesy gimmicks. With Q+AL there is gimmicks, scripted stuff. I can't imagine President ever going around onstage on a tricycle, bike etc, thank goodness for that.
Funny thing how many Glamberts try to knock Paula down to try to make AL seem better.

Sorry, I wasn't replying to you, Icy.
Niether I was trying to knock Paul Rodgers down.
Your obsession with Adam is 'funny thing' though. :-)

Oh sorry, I didn't know I had to ask your permission to reply to you here. You should put a disclaimer on your posts that only certain people can reply to you, and that's what you want and need.
It's funny how many Glamberts say Paul was boring, then turn around to big up Lambert. Funny thing that I notired through the years.
My obsession you say, sorry, not sorry I'm not obsessed with Lambert at all. I wouldn't want to be with him, or anyone.

Kill what?

A dead horse?

I give it two out of four stars. That was supposed to be a fun song, but Adam killed the fun.

No close up of Brian even during the solo. After it, camera zooms right in on Lambert, I guess a glambert is behind the video.
Not the best example of killing it. He really looks and sounds he is trying too hard, even with this.

I’m afraid you’re stuck with him now — no Paul! no Marc! rain or shine it’s gonna be Adam!
