Where’s the comparisons? Irrelevant to this thread. In fact, as Icy said, you didn’t contribute anything to this thread except spam. You made no comment on the comparisons or anything. It’s truly disgusting how you act about Adam. How you are about Adam is no different than how one of those stupid, blind Trump worshippers act about Trump.[/QUOTE]
Careful, she's on a rant here. Anything or anyone she feels is in AL's "way" she will try to bulldoze. So yea, no surprise she ranting and spamming.

Freddie is the greatest, there's no denying it. But, he wasn't the most consistent singer ever. Some tours are incredibly weak whilst 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. [/QUOTE]
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. [/QUOTE]
I just find it really hard to listen to recordings of Freddie struggling to sing or hit the notes because I know he could've done better, he knows he could've done better and everyone knows he could've done better.
Adam's appearance is certainly memorable which you sort of want from a concert.
I've never got into Q+PR because it was all over before I started listening to Queen more often. I rather hear a larger catalogue of Queen songs that I know and love who can sing in the original style. [/QUOTE]
All that high pitched noise is not what I want to listen to at a rock concert.
Paul Rodgers and Adam both don’t sing like Freddie, Adam pulling high notes every two seconds, trying to glamorize the singing (which is why he has a hard time singing fast paced lyrics). So what do you mean original style?
Also, if you watch Adam’s videos on YouTube, they are in the past no different than Paul’s... the reason you don’t watch Paul is that you aren’t a fan of his, I understand, but don’t use other things as an excuse.
Freddie’s performances are always memorable, including the SNL appearance. Adam actually sounds so damn boring compared to Freddie, because Adam sings it the same damn way all the time with little variance.
What it boils down to is that you’re an Adam fan. You may have liked a Queen song or two casually back then, but once you got into Adam, that’s the sudden interest in Queen related crap. Why do people have a hard time coming out and saying it? I don’t get it.[/QUOTE]
I was seven when I got into Queen, so blues wasn't my thing back then and still isn't now. (I really like All Right Now and Can't Get Enough but to me that isn't blues but rock.) When you're a child you want to be entertained visually not just audibly so AL definitely does that.
Adam can sing in the original key which Freddie couldn't with every song he sang live. But I don't want that to be taken away from him because Freddie is the greatest.
I want to see Brian and Roger live so Q+AL is the way I can achieve this. Adam is one of the best people who could perform with Queen now. What do you expect from him? He's singing Queen songs with Queen and you're expecting him not to sing like Queen did?

Adam’s voice is high, but not powerful. His vocals just don’t have the power that Freddie’s do, not in any circumstance because of the way Adam delivers his vocals. He’s always using vocal gymnastics when some songs are supposed to be simple. Sometimes he’s not singing fast paced songs very well because he has the habit to leave his vocal flair.
I’ll never ever enjoy Adam’s vocal delivery on Queen’s hard rock songs, it’s just not my thing. The louder Freddie was in a song, the more Adam tends to sing higher because he can’t keep a lower range at the same level of volume that Freddie could.
I think Adam has more capabilities outside of rock.

I wasn’t spamming last night — I was having fun. I started out watching the Sydney Fire Fight Show and then picked up a video from the same page with that video which was I Want To Break Free and then another video from that page which was Bicycle Race and then the video CLTCL in the downpour and back to the Sydney Show and then finally the GMA Show with Queen songs and songs from the Velvet album. I was comparing Adam to the others by spontaneously posting his wide range of performance. But you didn’t get it. As usual icy thinks I was bigging him up.
I think it is too early to know if and for what exactly Adam will be noted or remembered. Hopefully, he will be around for awhile and still making his mark. For now it won’t be just about his time on Idol although he definitely left his impression there, He could be remembered as the kid who was soooo good that he was able to tour around the world 3 going on 4 times with two legendary musicians performing their iconic music before thousands of happy fans. Mention his name on YouTube and there is an abundance of videos to choose from before and during Idol, before and during QAL, and whatever will be coming next.

Adam never sounds like his recordings. We have been saying that we like him better and that he sounds better when he is singing live. And he changes it up at every performance. When he toured 50 cities with the Season 8 AI top 10 kids, he performed the same songs but each time he added a different touch.
Again, Freddie is Freddie. Adam always says he is NOT Freddie; he is Adam! I’m not Marilyn Monroe and I am glad because I would have been dead a long time ago.

He won’t be remembered for touring with Queen. When people hear the word Queen, they think of Freddie.
Once Adam stops touring with Queen, it’ll be old news. Just like Paul Rodgers. Adam didn’t create a classic song with Queen. No music videos, no number one hits. Adam’s not know as a rock and roller.
Adam toured with Queen, it’s not groundbreaking. Adam will be remembered by few for it, but he won’t be remember by the general public. Many people could even care less about seeing Adam with Queen.
Adam’s also known for having a small fan base, they’ll grow old and the fan base will shrink.

If you want the Adam fans to say you are right about Freddie, I agree with you. Now, can you just stop with all the Adam comparisons?. No one on here who like Adam ever says he will be more famous than Freddie, or anything of that nature. I doubt any of us really care about his legacy or whether he will be remembered. You WIN! Just stop with the nonsense. I don't know why you keep repeating the same stuff. Most people who enjoy QAL and Adam aren't making a comparison between the two. We are just enjoying the Queen music as it is being played right now. It doesn't require comparisons to Freddie and how Adam will never measure up. In Icy terms, why do you always have to BIG UP Freddie? Everybody already knows how great Freddie is. I do, however, take issue with one of your remarks as I rather doubt, just my opinion, that no one will ever remember Adam touring with Queen. You can't wipe out the last 8 years and who knows how much longer. There will be a chapter somewhere about this part of Queen's history. People talk about the PR era and this QAL eral has lasted longer and done a lot more tours. So do disagree with your opinion on that, but it doesn't matter one way or the other to me and not sure why Adam and QAL bothers you so much. You still have your hero and you don't have to listen to QAL~

SC posts 5 spam links in 5 topics within a 61 minute span.
This is downright spamming and against Richard's guidelines for this site.
Specifically, SC's spam is contrary to Guideline #1 and #3, and the epitime of being a bad guest on this forum.
In other word, SC - Fuck off you cunt bubble.
Here are the QZ guidelines:
[QUOTE][QUOTENAME]Richard Orchard wrote: [/QUOTENAME]Welcome to the Queenzone.com forums. Thank you for joining us.
However, to ensure that things run smoothly, there are a few guidelines we all need to:
1. If you are posting many messages in a short space of time, you are doing something wrong. Try, where possible to post one topic instead of five.
2. If you want to post stuff like "I am bored, i thought i would post a message" - then the Queen forum is not the place. Coming soon, there will a place for you write stuff when you are bored :) I get bored too, so i know how you feel!
3. Please try and post items with some substance. "How tall was Freddie" doesn't count. We want serious Queen discussion here.
4. Read the biography. Read the FAQ before posting. If you are new to Queen, that is great. I am so happy that you have come to Queenzone.com. But, posting the same "easy", obvious questions makes the board less fun for older Queenzone.com members.
This board has a very open attidude to freedom of speech, and will always remain so. Following these guideliness will ensure that this board continues to offer a quality location for Queen related discussion.
Thanks for your help,
Richard[/QUOTE]

Boo Hoo - Sniffy is trying to censor constructive criticism of Adam.
This is a discussion site, and meant to discuss all aspects of Queen ... not just the marvelous and spectacular.
This topic has specific constructive criticism as to why some Queen fans do not like Adam Lambert. Deal with it.
Nearly every Sniffy post takes potshots at Icy. Occasionally she might post about QAL.
In other words, fuck off Sniffy, you cunt bubble snowflake.

Personally, St Jiub, I would prefer Span to your nasty crap. I didn't say a negative thing about Icy, I just referenced her fav word, which is bandied about a lot around here and thought you might better understand that one. You can dislike all you want, but repeating it day after day after day is kind of a waste of your time and mine.

If you think this is a discussion board ,you must have forgotten to take your meds this morning, as there is no discussion here. The only discussion allowed on here is how awful QAL and Adam are together with a bunch of filthy phrases targeting other posters. Not sure how that qualifies as a "discussion".

Let’s see, over 200 shows with an average of 20,000 people at every show. That would be at least 4,000,000 fans who might remember the fabulous vocalist/entertainer they were mesmerized by in the past 8 years!
