Brian May, who worked for decades alongside Freddie Mercury in Queen, knows a thing or two about vocalists. So when he talks about Adam Lambert, with whom the band just made its U.S. debut, it resonates. “He’s extraordinary,” May says in this iHeart clip. “It speaks for itself, his voice. That’s one voice in a billion. Adam can do things which really I have never heard anyone else ever do in my life.” Queen began with Mercury in 1970, and continued with him as their flamboyant frontman until Mercury was felled by AIDS-related illness in 1991. Since, Queen has worked with a number of other singers, notably Paul Rodgers, but none as long as Lambert. Their Vegas date from earlier this month, the first-ever in the States, will be rebroadcast tonight (October 1, 2013) on the CW at 8 Eastern/7 Central — with Lambert promising that “it will be different than the live stream footage.” Queen first took the stage alongside Lambert in 2009, during the finale of the American Idol singing program. May and Roger Taylor, the band’s original drummer, have since worked with Lambert at the 2011 EMAs and in a series of European dates last summer. link |

Ronnie James Dio, Robert Plant, Brad Delph, Elvis, Gillain (in his prime), Coverdale and even Bonnet....funny how Brian is completely dismissive of all of his peers when he's over-egging the "Queen Pudding" ....even at the expense of disregarding Freddie - the vocalist that made him. is there a medical name for "Myopia of the Ears" ? Cos the mad Dr appears to have it |
| Band Forever 02.10.2013 07:33 |
I agree with Brenski on this one! The only thing Lambert had in common with Freddie their are both and were gay. Not impressed by the Las Vegas gig with either Lambert or the other character who were both screaming at the top of their lungs at points. When you compare vocal abilities at similar ages Freddie was a million light years ahead of Lambert. |
| rubens 02.10.2013 10:32 |
To read such statement coming from Dr. May just make me feel sad...And that's not just because he seems to be disregarding Freddie, but it seems like he just want to sell a product, no matter what. As brENsKi just said, there are so many great rock vocalists that can outdo Lambert anytime and I'm sure that mr. May are pretty much aware of that fact. The whole thing feels very artificial. |
| Queen4ever13 02.10.2013 10:53 |
I don't think Brian May really means it, but he has to try and sell Adam Lambert, he couldn't speak bad of him. They need him as a draw for this generation, I think his voice is fair but no comparison, don't think anyone is in the league of Freddie Mercury, Queen's songs will never sound as good with anyone else singing them. I did tune in to see Roger and Brian, it is good to still see them play as well as they always have. Too bad John wasn't there. I think felt it was over when Freddie was no longer around, guess he didn't have the itch to perform like others anymore. It is puzzling as to why he only speaks to Brian and Roger via emails though. |

I've been here for many many years and finally joined in 10/20/2007 11:20:00 PM, so I'm not really a newbie, just usually read only. Brian and Roger said more: “He’s extraordinary,” said May. “It speaks for itself, his voice. That’s one voice in a billion. Adam can do things which really I have never heard anyone else ever do in my life. "We have a chance to do great things with Adam Lambert. He really is a wonderful foil for us, so it's a kind of gift from heaven, really. It's a lot of fun, too. He's nice to work with. He's fun and light and he doesn't have any airs and graces, and you know, he just gets on with it with us, and we seem to just, we feel like a family. It's nice." May continued: "It wouldn't happen with, you know, a billion other people, but it just works with him. It feels comfortable and nice, and challenging, also, because he puts different interpretations on the songs, so it gets us to play a little differently. So, it's nice, it's alive." Drummer Roger Taylor added: "I think even since we did a short tour of Europe last year with Adam, and even since then, he's just come on, he's just amazing. He's such a great interpreter of our songs and he has a great stage presence and we really enjoy working with him." more and interview video at link |

"Adam can do things which really I have never heard anyone else ever do" I can't believe that he'd be this delusional. I'll put it down to the hard sell, in which case - Brian, you're being silly. Almost 50 years in bands, and you really honestly want people to believe AL is someone who stands above all else? I'm not disparaging him by saying that I've heard better at bottom-rung music colleges and karaoke bars. I've heard a lot worse, too! He has some chops and his most recent outing was an improvement. But seriously Brian, no. Stop embarrassing yourself. |

Brian May has turned himself into a cheap whore. That what he's doing - he's prostituting himself, and he's not above using the name "Queen" to raise the price. It's one of the saddest things I've ever seen. I don't want anything to do with that ass, and I can't imagine spending another cent on him. |

Brian can't talk bad about Adam, if he make that he is saying "good bye adam" but i am agree with some many people in the forum, i don't like Adam ! I prefer Adam when he was in the music show (i dont remember the name), now he sing with a vibrato all the time with all the songs and i hate it ! |

You are right to scrutinize the man as SELLING PRODUCT. I haven't bought much "queen" (that includes second hand collectibles) since the COSMOS ROCKS debacle. Maybe it's slight mob mentality out perhaps it's heaRing something I've thought in private. ... but v yeah. This is a "re broadcast" of the same statement. In his defense he doesn't do a comparison. Just believes he has a unique instrument (his voice) I actually kinda enjoyed the Vegas show. Of course it wasn't the phenomenon that a queen show was. I get what you're saying I feel your pain. Shilling out for a new audience.... while the rest of his peers let the past do its own taking. Still think it was better than the Hammersmith gigs... whatever that means |

Indeed it is sad. AL doesn't deserve those words of praise above the legends. Brenski's list is right and pretty sure we could all add to it. |

Most certain he would use a harmonic of the original note. Of course that dosen't proove anything ( Adam being better than Mercury for sure ) But it does tell that he can do things with his voice that only so few male singers can do, especial in the reaching the extreme notes department. |

"Brian is not wrong" Let me put it this way - for Brian to be right, he has to have been listening to a comically small slice of the gamut of singers on offer in the time that he's been in the biz. Offering that Freddie (one guy) might not be able to hit a note in a live environment that AL can is still a bit meaningless. If Brian had listened to even a small percentage of his contemporaries, he'd be able to pull some names that could hit said note. All I'm getting at is that the hyperbole doesn't help him. Not in the slightest. |

Adam is just easy. Fredde wasn't. Freddie really worked Queen to perfection. Adam just sings Queen's songs. At age 64 and 66, this make Roger and Brian happy. |
| Adam Baboolal 08.10.2013 11:59 |
Considering Adam Lambert's past ventures, I think he's done well for himself. Removing the Queen element here, he is a fine singer. And for sure, he's still learning his craft. Heck, he's certainly better than a lot of pop singers out there. So, don't judge him harshly because of something Brian said for a promo interview. Just remember, it's not good P.R. to be anything but complimentary in these things. In other words, don't read into it, too much. It's part of their (Bri/Rog's) job. |

Okay somebodywholovesadam, you've caught a sucker and I'm going to bite. I listened to the clip you've posted. You know what? Adam Lambert has a fabulous voice and a dynamic range. Seriously. I heard him sing Tracks of my Tears and thought he sang beautifully, and was respectful to the song, he didn't over-sing it. But, it didn't draw an emotion from me other than respect that he can sing. I've listened to him sing Queen songs and the guy doesn't move me. I find him utterly unbelievable as an interpreter of this particular material. In my opinion, he has no "heft" or "gravitas" to his voice. That's my opinion, and I may be wrong. Neil Young has a shitty voice but I get more emotion out of a few lines from him than I do a concert of AL singing Queen songs. I'd bet that apart from the constant complaints about his over-singing of the Queen material, I think the people who don't get him as a soulful guy who can sell this material. This does not make us bad people :) |

Live, Mercury's high notes wasn't his all around best quality but still this dosen't make him "one guy" by no means" It really does though. Bottom line, name any guy rock vocalist you like - he's still only one shade in a rainbow, and Brian is selling all genres of music short by making such a silly blanket statement. Again, I've already said that I accept it's hyperbole and that he has to maintain the party line while doing these interviews, but I suppose the naive part of me always hopes for better from people I respect. Brian's one of those people. |

Possible, but neither can prove the existence of a Hangman acetate, or who played which synthesizer on Radio GaGa.

A 'tallest man' category wouldn't be a matter of voting, but a matter of measuring. Try something like 'best footballer of Russia' for a voting category. Russia's the world's largest country, not because some idiots voted it that way, but because it's surface area surpasses that of any other country (in fact, it's over twice as large as any individual nation except for Canada, China and the States). If a million people believe Napoleon was a dwarf, people routinely jumped off tall buildings during the Great Depression, Vikings wore helmets, the earth is flat, mice are crazy about cheese and people only use a fraction of their brains, that doesn't make any of those statements true. Choosing a 'best' singer is a largely subjective issue, and a lot of the people who participate on those polls (plus a lot of people who read the results) have little to no idea, little to no criterion and little to no actual expertise. Freddie was a phenomenal singer because of the attributes of his voice, not because some random geezers voted him. Speaking of voting, AL once went on a shitty TV programme ... and lost! |

Is it me or is there a mistrust/contempt against polls? Mind you, i am not that very fond of them either. However they do reflect the taste and choises of huge amount of people consisting from shoolkids to experts.Becose everyone can vote. I woundn't bring them (polls) into to the converstion if Mercury was not also apreciated by fellow singers-musicians, artist in general, and let's say experts in the field as a hell of a singer, a true talent and a force of nature with great versatility. And that makes it a really long way far from the "one guy" quote. |

I make a new version of my defunct website, I wanna include the 1981 poll conducted by the OIQFC magazine for people's favourite song and album (from Queen to Flash, of course), as that reflects the popularity (or lack thereof) of certain pieces. It shows, for instance, that TMotBQ was a massive hit amongst the fans long before the internet era (thus proving me wrong, as I had a completely inaccurate theory about it a while ago). So yeah, I guess I overreacted (as usual), and I apologise to whoever was offended, annoyed or irritated by that. Maybe we can make a poll about it as well? |

‘Paul was macho, but Adam is a diva’: Queen’s Roger Taylor on differences between Adam Lambert, Paul Rodgers by Something Else! Roger Taylor doesn’t shy away from comparisons between the last two frontman to take the reins for Queen’s Freddie Mercury, saying there’s plenty to set Paul Rodgers and Adam Lambert apart. Of course, Queen is coming off a well-received debut on American soil with Lambert, as part of a huge iHeart Radio music event held in September at Las Vegas. They’ve been working with the Idol runner up since appearing on the program together in 2009. Previous to that, Queen had a lengthy collaborative relationship with Rodgers, the former Free and Bad Company singer, going back to 2005. Mercury, who co-founded Queen in 1970 with Taylor, Brian May and John Deacon, died in 1991 after a battle with AIDS. Queen not only did two major tours with Rodgers, they also issued a benefit single and a studio album called The Cosmos Rocks in 2008. Taylor, speaking to MOJO magazine, confirms that there are no current plans to record with Lambert. Here’s how Taylor compared and contrasted Queen’s two singers: “Paul,” the drummer says, “has a perfect blues and soul voice, but our songs are big — and dare I say it, theatrical — and Adam fits that more easily. … Adam is closer to Freddie. Paul was macho, but Adam is a diva. His range is staggering.” |
| Mercuryking 20.10.2013 15:04 |
Totally lost all respect for both Brian an Roger. The only one i respect is Deacon cause he didn't whore himself to this pathetic level. That version of Show must go on which some of you guys think is "powerful" i think sounds like crap. He doesn't really sing with a full voice. He sings with like a mix of falsetto and head voice mixed together, which is how he can hit those "high" notes. Freddie sang wiith full head voice and it sounds a million times better than this emo faghag. One last thing, when brian says he has never heard anything like it in his life before, right there i know he is lying cause Mercury outdid this guy like 1000 times with his version of show must go on. |

When it comes to Brian he's always been a celebrity butt kisser he will be saying it again in a few years down the line about who ever else is fronting the band because i don't think for one moment that Lambert will be the last singer to front Queen. Just like Roger saying on the one show about Marcel i.e "when he closes his eye's he say's it's like Freddie is singing". I'm no musician but i don't think Marcel sounds anything like Freddie. Marcel does have a good voice and it does sound better than AL. Who remembers Brian and his drooling worshiping of Lady GaGa lol even when she draped herself in raw meat or when she wears furs he still drools but he would slate any none celebrity who did the same thing unlike Pamela Anderson who speaks her mind about such celebrities. John Deacon must be cringing at times over Brian and Roger. I think we will just have to face it there both a couple of celebrity ass kissers |

I know a few people (ordinary people) who sing really well - can hit all the high notes, and the low notes and every note in between. But it would be a joke to compare them with Freddie. Hitting the correct notes does not a legend make! Freddie had that awesome energy, total charisma! When he stepped on the stage, you just HAD to look at him. Everybody and everything else faded in the background. He ruled the stage, and he ruled the audience. He could roar like a lion and the next instance purr like a cat. And he made you love him! AL? He can hit the right notes, I guess. OK, I gotta go hear me some Freddie. |
| Missreclusive 21.10.2013 09:46 |
Thanks noorie...took the words right out of my mouth. AL doesn't possess what Freddie did...few ever will. Freddie had this sweetness about him and it came across to the audience. He was larger than life and knew he had talent but not obnoxious about it. I think it's why people love him so much. Martel is good but could connect with the audience better. AL is far too full of himself to me. |

"Everybody and everything else faded in the background. He ruled the stage, and he ruled the audience. He could roar like a lion and the next instance purr like a cat. And he made you love him! " You couldn't have said it better. That is exactly how we Adam fans feel about Adam. When he first wanted to add dancers to his tour we were upset. We didn't want them to detract from Adam's performance. After the first show we were like, "what dancers?" But we are in love with Adam. Just like you were in love with Freddie. It is the music and singing but so much more. |

someonewholikesadam wrote: When he first wanted to add dancers to his tour we were upset.And there you have it! Freddie never needed backup dancers or any other gimmicks. HE was the show! Well, SWLA, let's agree to disagree. At least you are lucky that you have the chance and opportunity to watch AL live. Most of us here never got that chance with Freddie. |
| brENsKi 22.10.2013 11:57 |
there is NEVER going to be any kind of meaningful dialogue on this subject. why? because Glamberts like those infiltrating this place with no other intention than indoctrinating and forcing their opinions on everyone have proven beyond all doubt two things: 1. they'll manipulate anything to make their "point" - never letting the truth get in the way of their "facts", and 2. they manage provide the evidence to back up the serious fans' claims that polls are worthless. the question below - in any reasonable environment would have (at best) a three-way split, but more than likely - in the presence of die-hard queen fans - would NOT put AL in the majority....but guess what? - the Glamberts have spoken - and hundreds of times each individual fan by the look of it...and you wonder why your claims about AL's credibility are not taken seriously? Poll Are you happy that Queen are working with Adam Lambert? Yes. He is great (26404 votes) 88.0% Yeah. Better than Paul Rodgers (1279 votes) 4.3% No way! It's terrible (2334 votes) 7.8% 30017 total votes... |

Why wouldn't you want to sit next to me? I'm a genuinely nice person! I was simply responding to this post: Freddie had that awesome energy, total charisma! When he stepped on the stage, you just HAD to look at him. Everybody and everything else faded in the background. He ruled the stage, and he ruled the audience. He could roar like a lion and the next instance purr like a cat. And he made you love him! Adam fans feel the exact same way about Adam, meaning dancers, etc., fade into the background when he performs. He has great stage presence. Maybe not so much when he performs with Queen, because he lets the band have more of the spotlight being the humble guy that he is. But doing his own music, it's a different story. And unless you've seen him perform live, I don't want to hear any of your asinine comments. |
| tomcat39 25.10.2013 06:58 |
" because he lets the band have more of the spotlight" - Are you serious now? This is the problem with some of his fans. I don't even dislike the guy, you do him NO favors. I'd be willing to bet he'd be horrified and embarrassed by your postings and if you were truly "someone who likes adam" you knock it off and just let him deal with his own battles. You go to a Queen board and say Adam is letting them have the spotlight, you deserve every comment you get, asinine or not. God, his fans can be so dumb. Adam dude, feel sorry for you about that. Speaking of touring link about 9:00 in |
| Donna13 25.10.2013 09:51 |
One way of avoiding Adam fans is to stay away from threads about Adam. Ha. I guess we as Queen fans (and I like Adam too) should be able to understand the total excitement and enthusiasm that is felt when one admires a musical talent so much. I remember shaking with excitement as I watched Queen during the Live Aid broadcast ... so I think we should just give each other a break on this "fan enthusiasm" stuff - try to get along. Nice Brian interview! Thanks! |
| Adam Baboolal 25.10.2013 11:28 |
This kind of "discussion" should be wiped from the surface of Queenzone. It brings out the worst to big up either side and/or trash talk the other. In so many ways, it reminds me of when Brian and Roger worked on the Pepsi WWRY with Pink, Beyonce and Britney. The amount of shit that was flung around because of that... Folk saying Beyonce is a shit singer sticks in my mind from that time. As a Queen fan, it's embarrassing to see those kind of reactions. In some ways, it makes me wonder if respect is valued at all around here. |
| tomcat39 25.10.2013 15:30 |
I'm in the thread because I'm interested in going to a show if they decide to do more gigs in the US and wanted to post the newest Brian interview where he talks about that possibility. So I don't have issues with Adam, well not much. I just don't get why his fans think beating people over the head with endless youtubes and fapping are the way to endear new any fans. It's the opposite. I get their excitement, but those types of posts are best for Adam's fanboard as it likely does more harm than good. Did Pink and Beyonce stans come here to defend them? Idgi Queen has my fan club membership money for the year, I suppose I could just wait on the pre-sale info ;) |

"it makes me wonder if respect is valued at all around here" Bad work should be met with derision, not respect. I don't see why anyone would want any part in a world where respect isn't earned. *shrug* I'm saying that in reference to the Beyonce/Britney/Pink thing, mind you. Far as Q+AL goes, I still maintain that it's more a case of a stylistic mismatch than a plain old musical catastrophe. |
| Adam Baboolal 26.10.2013 12:07 |
Sorry Zeb, I gotta disagree. "Derision" is a pretty strong reaction to their one-off appearances and/or works. Moreover, it's kinda sad to see that you judge them (Bri/Rog/AL) for such appearances. Of course, other longtime fans have an even harder time accepting such things, it seems. This is why I mentioned the part about respect. It's sorely lacking in a lot of people. Hence all the insults and language that gets thrown around in a thread like this. I don't know any other forum quite like it in that respect. As for earning respect, Brian and Roger earned my respect a long time ago. They haven't lost it, for me. They're still good people, and they still do good things. After that, it's pure opinion on what is considered good or bad works. I just don't dwell on the lesser things they may do. As for the Pepsi thing, it was an ad, no big deal. I'll bet hardly anyone in the public even remembers it. Yesterday's chip paper, as I remember someone saying! In other words, people need to mellow and not get so angry at Brian and Roger. Life's too short to be so upset/angry, etc. etc.! |

I don't like much of his solo work because I haaaaate dance/club music but I followed his career casually and I would go see him perform with Queen. Some of his fans are so obnoxious though -- they police the internet and act like criticizing Adam should be felony. Before, I would have given Adam's solo work a chance if he ever got away from dance music. Now, even though I tell myself that I shouldn't let his fans behavior affect my opinion of him, it's become impossible and I just avoid everything Lambert except for his work with Queen. |

"Sorry Zeb, I gotta disagree" + some other stuff. It's not that I can't see the points you're trying to make here, but they just don't hold up for me. The idea of respecting Brian May today purely on the basis that he recorded some of my favourite songs almost 40 years ago and just ignoring the shonky decisions he's making in the here and now - the music might be a timeless recording that stands the test of time, but human beings are not. They're always around, shifting and changing and evolving. Brian May is very much alive in the here and now, and if he does a vomitous collaboration with some yob who really ought to be in jail instead of in the charts (ie. Dappy) then I'm going to say so. Just the same as I'd give him the appropriate amount of kudos (and then some) for when he does a good thing like the time he let Tom Chaplin guest on lead vocals. Just accepting people for who they are is why Australians have to put up with some cunt called Redfoo on our TV screens at the moment, and I've had enough of it. Brian May can (and usually does) have all of my love, really, but when he does a clunker then I'm not going to be backwards in coming forwards about it, and nor should anyone else. I can't even remember how I got onto this tangent because all I'd really meant to point out in this thread is not to take Brian May's hyperbole at face value. He says the same crap about Kerry Ellis that he said about Dappy that he said about Katy Perry. They're all forgettable - it'd just be easier to forget them if one of my heroes would stop paying them lip service in order to flog his music to youngsters. |

B&R really just need a cute sexy personable person to front their own very excellent instrumental musicianship. They are still the among the greatest rock musicians, so anyone with charisma and voice will do. Hence, AL. Marc Martel just isnt 'out there' enough for them. Not enough make up. Too nice. Common guy clothes. Not gay. Plays guitar and piano. Sings closer to Freddie than anyone. But from 1987 on Freddie was more like Marc than AL and audiences still went crazy over him during Barcelona. |

Red Carpet Confidential: Why Adam Lambert Is So Excited About Being a Guest Star on Glee By Valerie Nome I hang with the stars at the biggest events every night — and bring you all their juicy news and gossip. adam-lambert-glee Set your DVR — Adam Lambert is joining the cast of Glee this Thursday!

News: Is a Glee Spinoff in the Works?! “Everybody’s so cool and I didn’t know what to expect, but I immediately felt verycomfortable with everyone and we’ve been having a lot of fun,” the singer, 31, tells me Saturday during the InterContinental Miami Make-A-Wish Ball. “We laugh a lot.” Still, Adam doesn’t aspire to join the show full-time. “I think the guest-star thing is a really nice treat,” he says. Despite his reservations about embarking on a full-time acting career, he isn’t completely closing the door on it. adam-lambert-make-a-wish-ball Adam, who recently performed with the classic rock band Queen at the iHeartRadio Music Festival, may play Freddie Mercury in an upcoming biopic about the band. “That would be cool!” he says. “That’s all I’ve got, but it would definitely be a big honor and it would be really cool.” OK! News: Is Glee Moving from Lima to NYC?! During the benefit, Adam gives an hour-long performance for celebs including former Dancing With The Stars champ Helio Castroneves and Real Housewives of Miami stars Lea Black and Lisa Pilner. And in the vein of the Make-a-Wish ball, what’s Adam’s biggest wish? “The big picture for me is I love entertaining people and bringing people happiness or catharsis—anything with music,” he explains. “I like connecting with people and I like allowing people to connect with each other. I just wanna keep doing it!” OK! News: How Lea Michele Coped After Cory Monteith’s Death Catch Adam on Glee this Thursday at 9 pm ET on Fox! Do you think Adam is a good fit for Glee?

That Queen + Glee feels remotely in the realm of possibility says much about the steering decisions of the last several years. I'm not sure I've ever seen a classy, deserving band like Queen shoot their own legacy repeatedly in the face quite so enthusiastically before. Hard to watch really. |

Togg wrote: personally I cant think of anyone else being able to hit that note.But you are really wrong. You, just like Brian May, made a fool of yourself. I can think of several known singers that can go that high (including Freddie). Unfortunately for you, even Axl Rose can go as high as that. Unfortunately, even though the man can thing, the song just lost its magic completely when that man tried to imitate a goat throughout the song with his boring vibrato and fucked up the highest "on with the show" bit - once it felt like a powerful and clean Freddie Mercury scream, now the Adam "The American Wannabe Idol" Lambert made it sound like if a cat was dying". Incredibly sad and awful rendition of the very ending of the song Mercuryking wrote: He doesn't really sing with a full voice. He sings with like a mix of falsetto and head voice mixed together, which is how he can hit those "high" notes. Freddie sang wiith full head voice and it sounds a million times better than this emo faghag.Thank you for that! It's not about who goes higher, it's how they sound. Freddie sounds powerful, Adam sounds like a cat. Freddie can go as high as that with his falsetto,and many - live or not - recordings can prove us that, but he just did not want to sound like a cat fighting for his life and oversing this awesome song. I liked how he sounded singing Who Wants To Live Forever but I can't stand how he sings The Show Must Go On.. |

Oh, so you just attacked me because you cant stand your pop wannabe idol getting bashed because he's trying to sing Queen songs like a female pop singer would? You know that it was a typo but still got to act like this. Speaks a lot about yourself. Just to be clear, english is not my first language - but be my guest if you want to make fun of my english. Just do not cry when we show you that Adam lacks power, musicality, rock gritness, showmanship, charisma etc. to front a Queen show. I do not want to keep bashing Adam because he's obviously talented and does not try to sound like Freddie - props to him -, but if you keep acting like this expect fans to show you that he's not the best singer out there - let alone the best frontman. |

Alright. Just don't go into rage mode when people point out that Adam's not the best singer to cover Queen. Well, to be honest he does sound great in his own right - I loved his Who Wants to Live Forever take, for instance. He just ain't a proper rock singer in my books. Even though he can sing rock, he doesn't sound as strong and powerful like Freddie, Plant or Gillan. |

YES!!! We just need a studio l.p. as well!!!!!! |

Good grammar, Brenski. I don't want to talk to you NO more either. I feel sorry for your small-mindedness and lack of sophistication that doesn't allow you to appreciate someone with such extraordinary talent. And my mother was a Gerbil. Thank you very much. Sorry about the video span Miss Reclusive. Just had to get even with Brenski |

NP SWLA, I understand. I'm seriously wondering about the age of most QZers? Nothing against you Brenski however, you did go over the top and it's unnecessary. SWLA knows I dislike AL but hey, everyone is entitled to their opinion and personal taste. I do think he has talent, I really do..I just haven't enjoyed him so far. |

oh Jeez - Misreclusive and SWLA - why don't YOU google the quotes in question - then you'll find it's nothing more than good-humoured? then once you have found the origins of the quotes - (finding it hard to believe you had not heard either quote before) - then feel free to come back here and retract your rather over-sensitive/serious replies ps - hint 1: csmdrums got the joke straight away - the first quote really was THAT obvious hint 2: look at "the triumphant return of fatty" in the "Personal" subsection - i even used a similar quote back in October |

Hmm...he is a very talented singer... |

But he is all about himself. Queen were about each member and the whole. It is boring to hear/read about one person. Who are the other musicians in AL's band? |

He is not in a band like Queen or Led Zeppelin. Even though he is a solo artist, whoever is in his band at the time is well known to fans because Adam introduces them and lets their talents shine through. His former lead guitarist Monte Pittman is Madonna's guitarist. Right now his guitarist is TommyJoe Ratliffe, bass Ashley D. Rick Jordan on drums and musical director/keyboard who has been Musical Director for Bruno Mars, Taio Cruz, Jason Derulo, John West, Andy Grammer. Keys for Rihanna, Lady Gaga, Katy Perry, Cee-Lo, Travie McCoy, B.o.B. |

Consider that AL perform in Queen concerts, Queen songs, but not conversely. |
