Freddie was a natural where Adam sings in that cabaret style voice which is quite annoying singing 70s & 80s rock music.
Maybe Lambert should do a summer season in Blackpool Tower with The Nolan's and Peter Kaye that would be spot on !

Hypocrite - How can you judge Freddie's voice without hearing him live, yet insist that Adam's voice cannot be judged in a recording?

It is a totally different vibe when Adam sings, for sure. That is what Brian and Roger were looking for, someone who didn't sound like Freddie. Singing in a cabaret style doesn't mean that it isn't natural. That is the way he sings at times. But both Freddie and Adam can change it up, since there are many genres and styles in the Queen catalog. It is the mark of a great singer to be able to pull off a great ballad and a kitschy song like KQ or a harder rocking song like SCC. Freddie is better on the gritty rock stuff while I like Adam on a soft ballad. Just different strokes for different folks! That is the beauty of Queen's catalog, there is something for everyone in there!!

Adam is the best, hands down!

In that case the science is settled and we can close the thread.

Well, St Juib, I guess you are a little man, since you just seem determined to argue with me and call me names as usual No, I am not a hypocrite. I merely said that Adam's voice is tough to do the sound for and in his own music, it is often over processed and his voice is not front and center. When you listen to a live stream or you tube, they are from a camera, lord know where in the venue and it is really hard to get a real feel for his voice. There is no problem on the Freddie videos hearing him front and center and loud. So, I don't need to disagree. I am sure that he is even louder sounding in real life, which I never had the chance of seeing. I am not disputing what has been said on here. I am only disputing the fact that Adam sounds much different in a recording from the concert. Not a hypocrite at all, I feel that In order to hear the difference that I experience, you have to be at a concert. It is a diminished sound, perhaps due to the higher quality of his voice. There is no problem like that with Freddie's voice. I would have loved to hear him live, but we are discussing a weak voice which I don't hear at a concert. I think it is a recording issue. I have no issue with Freddie's louder voice, so I don't need to hear it live in a concert. Would have loved to, however!! Quit making it a problem where none exists.

You proved Saint Jiub’s point right there. It’s hypocritical. How do you know Freddie’s voice doesn’t sound better live?

You blame machines for not recording Adam’s sound correctly? Really? Oh, please.

I think the feeling you get watching Lambert live is actually awe. The volume is very loud at a concert. And there’s many people making noise, too.

Queen’s official audio of QAL record what you don’t fully here... and that’s the band and Adam performing without less sound from other sources. You hear more on an official recording than you’d hear while standing in the crowd.

It is hypocritical when one disdainfully dismisses a differing opinion of an artist's voice, just because the person with the different opinion has never seen that artist live.

It is not hypocritical, if I agree that Freddie's voice sounds great and loud even in a youtube which is the case for Freddie. It is not the case for Adam. He sounds much better when I am seated in a venue where the sound techs, who are used to adjusting his mike, are doing the sound. Not sure why this thought isn't computing with you! Can't explain it any clearer.

All the normal bickering, and meanwhile, I'm still trying to figure out what is "Show must go On"?

"Show must go On" time? Tonight? In place of the regularly scheduled program?

Thanks in advance.

I am not sure why some cannot understand this:

"I think the feeling you get watching Lambert live is actually awe. The volume is very loud at a concert."

I might be overreaching, but I suspect that the topic title refers to the last song on the Innuendo album. Hope this helps. ;)

@Mercury, your post will now be followed with accusations that you are homophobic, transphobic and hypocritical, since Freddie also dresses up as a woman.

Somebody will subsequently chime in by pretending to not know that Show must go On refers to The show must go on and on an own it will go.
