Vocal Battle -there you go....

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!

That is less than half the population of Wuhan.

Mesmerized by this annoying goat with the paperthin voice? I managed to get thru 15 seconds of Hammer to Fall. Lamebutts voice is so powerless he has no chance against Mays brickwall guitar. Freddie did that effortless and powerful and without annoying screaming

The number is way bigger than that. There were 450,000 at the first Kiev show. The show the another night was 40,000 and the Fire Benefit was 70,000. There were lots of shows with way over 20,000 and not many under. But really so what? The people who were there, whatever the number, will remember the great night that they experienced. That is the important part. If you don't like it, you don't have to go, but those that attend seem to really, really enjoy it based on all the social media I have seen. Just because you here on QZ don't appreciate it, you people are not really part of the mix. The detractors who absolutely hate it are dwindling every concert, every year. Those folks have their old CD's and maybe records and old videos. They also have something they can enjoy. It is all good!!

Yep, two Queen fans posted very positive reviews on the QOL forum of their respective Brisbane and Sydney concerts this past week both of them saying that the current QAL show is the best live show out there!

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.

Having fun is how you try to excuse what you did. Fact, you take any chance to try to promote AL on Queen boards. Wide range of performances my ass. You just could not stand for anyone to discuss Freddie or PR even for a post or two. You just had to squeeze AL in there.
Don't forget, you lost your shit. Now you use Freddie to boost your ego saying he would tell me to fuck off. You hardly even know what the man liked, or didn't like. You should know this, Freddie had a thicker skin than you could ever have, and the man has more guts than you could ever hope to have. You can fuck right off, from me to you.

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.[/QUOTE]

Of course you would prefer spam by SweetCaroline than the word shit being used, no surprise Glambert code strikes again. Your shitty defense and hypocrisy strikes again.
You have used the word shit before,so why the hypocrisy? I use the word shit, and i guess thats another black mark you have against me. Do you seriously thrive on things I post to be insulted and offended about. Where is your outrage when SweetCaroline told me to fuck off, in this thread oh that's right.you have nothing to say about that. Of course you don't...and you wonder that except to defend it.
You definitely like to spread shit, this is one example. You more than clutch your pearls, you lose your mind over the fact I type out the word shit. You are older than I am, but about time, way overdue for you to get some common sense. The way you act here is ridiculous.

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~[/QUOTE]

Do you even realise that you post on a Queen board?? You seem to see red every time Freddie is discussed by other people here. Whats the matter snifflese, you worried too that mentioning Freddie will be somehow be bad for AL.
You are here and you can't be bothered to learn, post about Freddie or Queen. You don't want to be criticised by Queen fans is how you reason that. No, you just can't be bothered to learn or post about it. I'm sure you are happy as long as it's Lambert and only Lambert singing Queen songs, nothing else matters to you.
Sorry, not sorry, you are a bit too obvious.

Why the Hell do you always list concerts that have numerous artists as QAL’s big concerts?

I’ll never list Live Aid as a measure of Queen popularity as there were a bunch of other bands and artists there.

Sorry, but anything Roger and Brian do touring wise can’t compete with the legacy created while Freddie was alive.

It’s a fact.

And Adam’s a prop, he really is. He’s giving Brian and Roger something to do, and he knows it’s the most important thing he does. But touring and playing old songs as a replacement singer isn’t legendary, no matter how long they do it.

Freddie’s popularity is so huge, that Adam’s touring is dwarfed.

Most adults could care less about Adam, but they know and listen to Freddie. Most of those going to QAL concerts aren’t even hardcore Queen fans, they are people who want to go to a concert. Many are hardcore Queen fans who want to see Brian and Roger (and multiple fans who go to the concerts have said so over the past few weeks). And then there’s a crowd of Adam Worshippers, but it’s not a huge crowd.

Adam isn’t even known much for his solo music, he’s more known for Queen and American Idol. The only time he’s mentioned on the radio is about a QAL concert coming up. My local radio station loves discussing Freddie, but not once have they decided to talk about Adam and his concerts with Queen, they only mention an upcoming concert. It’s nothing special compared to it Quern with Freddie performing.

I know a lot of Queen fans in person, Adam isn’t discussed, because he’s just not part of what Queen’s famous for, and even Adam knows that. Adam knows perfectly well that the years Freddie was with the band was the most important. Yes, overtime, Adam won’t be talked about much more.

Queen created.
QAL re-creates.

There’s a difference, and two hundred years from now, no music teacher will be pulling out a film to educate teenagers on the importance of QAL.

But who really cares at the end of the day? I don't give a crap who is singing Queen music as long as I enjoy the music and I think they are doing a good job. I could care less what a music teacher does in class. Coming from a mother whose kids were in music class and band and had private lessons, Freddie and Queen were not mentioned either. Do you have to be famous to record music to make it good? No one but Freddie singing it can be it enjoyable for others? I don't happen to believe that and I don't worry about legacies and who is talking about whom. I like Adam, I like Queen and I enjoy them together.

Icy, the word was "big up" not your fav. S word. I do notice you are not spreading that lovely phrase around on QOL!! Several people took you to task over there yesterday and you are not allowed to answer folks there like you do here. Good thing really!! I ALSO noticed you were already bugging the mods about spammers over there. Back to your own "shit stirring"! Amazing what you criticize and then do the same thing yourself. Wow, that is a true hypocrite! Read a little more carefully!!

I have no time to read up about Freddie and Queen and could care less about it. I love Iron Maiden, listen to them a lot, but am not going to go back and read which singer they had at which point in their history. I don't care!. I saw them with Dickinson and love them and that is more than enough for me. There is enough important real history like things going on the US that require reading about and Queen and Iron Maiden, my two fav groups, just doesn't reach that level for me. There is way more important stuff in this world than that.

Freddies live performances over the years have varied in quality from Awesome to absolute shite.
He wasn't always able to hit the notes , he very rarely remembered the words 100% and he occasionally had a very sheepy vibrato.

[/QUOTE]

Can you please giv me an example of one of his shit performances and his loss of words? Thanx in advance you prick[/QUOTE]

Wait - so you worship Freddie Mercury as a flawless singer, yet you don't even possess cursory knowledge of their live tapes? And you continue to throw out ad hominems towards people who do?

Your stupidity and ignorance just keeps getting better and better.

Niether I was trying to knock Paul Rodgers down.
Your obsession with Adam is 'funny thing' though. :-)[/QUOTE]

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.
[/QUOTE]

The only "funny thing" that I noticed through the years is your obsession with Adam Lambert, Icy.
I don't need your opinion about my opinion about Paul Rodgers - it's bizarre.
I'd love to see Paul one day as the guest at the Queen + AL show. Maybe a special appearance at the Wembley Stadium next year? Would've been great fun for all fans. Well...apart from some wierdos on Queenzone. :-)
