No Champions

Just NO, We are the champions is now YOU are the champions, First queen and adam song to be officially released and they destroy Freddies veraion!

Now I had to check Freddie’s versions on my old vinyls. You’re wrong, they’re still fine, nothing is destroyed.

I agree ?? secret fantasy. Its a pity they continue with glambert.
But its brians and roger decision to record stuff with this x factor guy.
The most import disappoint is that glambert hasnt a warm voice if you compare this with paul rodgers or george michael
To my opinion glambert is yelling and screaming a lot in the songs in stead of singing beautifully. not really attractive as a lead singer of Queen.
Is it all about the money or is it about keeping Queen songs alive. I really dont know.

Maybe I compare him too much with Freddie Mercury. But, there was Queen all about ...., isnt it......

At this moment I am looking forward to the Miracle boxy including the one and only
Freddie.

Yup you're right.

The other thing to note, which escapes some, is that it's only a verse and two choruses. Yeah AL is over singing it a bit, but it's a home recording and done with good intentions and for a good reason.

I have never endured Adam, for me it is out of place in Queen, but I appreciate the reason why they made this song. I don't like how Adam sings (practically all Queen songs) but this time it's for a noble cause, so .... Ok.

And some people complained about Paul Rodgers and the Cosmos rocks! This is as embarrassing as that version with Robbie Williams. WTF happened to the band I love?. Lambert is just a Whitney Houston Diva, total embarrassment, wish they had signed up Jeff Scott Soto instead of that c-lebrity twat.

This is really embarrassing. If they had done a proper recording it might've been a bit better, but this is so sloppy and short...

I have predicted this and you can call me an oracle now - rerecording old Queen songs , eraising Freddie and Lamebird doing his selfcentered vocal acrobatics. Most annoying thing I have heard in a long time and one more reason to hate this fucking virus

ooh. screaming and oversinging. Not good at all. I can feel none of of the emotion, warmth and empowerment from the original song in this version.

Yeah it is only 1 verse and 2 choruses and it is for a good cause.
Still, they could have just written a new song and released it instead of this screamfest. Yikes!

The RObbie version was tolerable - this is not. They could have donated the money instead of making a complete joke out of themselves.

Lamebird would have sounded the same-bloody awful. His self-loving vocal acrobatics are even more embarrassing than live.

The recording is second rate in every respect. Why don't these rich guys simply donate something from their vast wealth instead of asking their fans to make the donation by buying this low standard crap?

So....I don't mind Adam Lambert, I have seen them in concert with him and it is fabulous. I'm ok with the concerts, because it is what Brian and Roger love, keeps them active, and is different enough from what Freddie did that I can enjoy it. And Lambert has an amazing, unmatched type of voice. BUT.....recording and releasing a Freddie song, one that is so special and well known, written by Freddie and really representing him, I kind of feel like this release is an abomination! I understand they think it's a great cause (I wouldn't give 2 cents to WHO but that is another conversation) but this is the wrong song to have used for it. Choose something written by Brian, or Roger or cover some other song and use that if they feel they need to create funds and thank workers....I could get on board a bit more then. But this just feels wrong.

And Runner....I fear you have hit the nail on the head here....I was worried when they started releasing all those singles on YouTube from the Australian Fire concert, like they were warming up to start releasing Queen records with AL singing. And sure enough we get this....more on the slippery slope to Queen plus AL covering Freddie songs for release. No....just...no.

All May is doing - except this abomination - is clapping for the medical workers and making sure that he and his wife are filmed(who films btw? His housekeeper?).
His guitar lessons were pretty cool and the Hammer to Fall "quarantine Version" with Soto on vocals was bloody brillant. With this he destroyed what he rebuilt. What a mess.

And he even promoted the crowdfunding of this annoying Girlieband song he produced to make sure they can pay him. Embarrassing. Like the song itself
