rockchic65 wrote: If it was just Brian you might have a point but he's regarded in the industry as having an incredible voice, "Vocal Beast" is the term often used, mainly because of his power to belt and the sheer ability to sing like that consistently night after night with no vocal strain. What you're describing as yodeling is riffing or vocal runs to a classical singer and it's common in modern music for singers to do it, they even banned it on X Factor because everyone was doing it, but the massive difference is Adam actually knows how to do it properly, unlike a lot of the X Factor contestants who think they can be the next Whitney H. I get why some people don't like it, it changes up the phrasing of the song and it's not what you're used to if it's a cover, but Adam's a clever guy and he knows there's no way of getting up there and winning the audience over by just singing the songs the way they were written. He sounds nothing like Freddie and would just be compared and people would be left feeling flat. Added to that it's what he became known for and what his own fans at least like, he changes the songs just enough to make them "signature Adam" if you like, while still keeping close to the original. If you've watched any vids of the songs where he does those riffs and holds the long high notes you'll know the audience absolutely love it. In the first section of the set he does a long high note at the end of TYMD and the crowd go wild. I guess that's them being skeptical until then and suddenly realizing, hey this guy can actually hit the notes, it might be ok after all. Like snifflease said, he uses that strategically, more now than ever, instead of just throwing them in all the time and I've noticed him stepping back to let the crowd sing quite a bit more on this tour as well. As to his lower register, he can sing low, and it's better now than it used to be, probably due to singing more with Queen and the fact the Male voice doesn't fullly mature until age 35/36.

runner_70 wrote: He always forgets it. But as his voice is completely powerless and paperthin and has no depths he is trying to male up for it with his apalling yodeling

snifflese wrote: You know, there are Adam fans that go to multiple shows and fly all over the world to see him. It is a small percentage, of course, but there are a lot of those fans. As far as his thin voice, that is rubbish. I have seen him at least 10 times and (he keeps getting better with that lower register) and his voice is as powerful as an opera star. It just fills the venue, every venue, no matter how big. If you haven't sat there in the venue, live, you Have NO CLUE!! Youtubes often have poor sound, the person videotaping is far away and other people are singing along and you just have a muddle of sound. The idea that Adam has a weak voice is FAKE NEWS. Couldn't be further from the truth. He also has toned down those stratospheric notes tremendously. They are fewer and farther between, but when he chooses to hit one, the audiences goes wild. Less is more sometimes and I think he knows that now.

happystar wrote: Vocal Harmony: You come on here and think your better than anybody else then you bully another member because his views are different to your own, come on see the other side of the coin! Sure Brian & Rogers friends are going to support there shows, lets face it they are not going to say "well actually Brian your shows are crap with Adam". This site is for anyone to air what they feel, so please if you don't like what you read on here then you go and fuck yourself matey. If you work in the music industry these days then you must also have bad taste, because lets face it there is an awful lot of crap that gets passed for good out there. Why don't you join a Glambert site as i feel that would benefit your awful taste in music. Leave the real music to the real dedicated Queen fans who appreciate the fab four.

happystar wrote: VH : You do not seem to slate the girls on here for continuously preaching on and on about how wonderful Ladyboy is do you? It is always someone who's opinion is different to yours. And by the way i was watching Queen & Lambert on youtube today when they were in Birmingham 2017 and the audience look so pissed off and quiet, its clear Lambert has no presence about him or zest, and that stage is just too big for him. The band (just 2 members) look frail and sad, Brian looks like he cannot hack it anymore without Freddie & John. Glad i never wasted my time or money on this flat limp tour. So you been in the music industry 30 years then you should know better to not support this dying limp tour. Yeah i am a hard die fan and it is soul destroying to see how Queen has ended up looking like a eurovision song contest group. Lambert is a weak performer and he does not impress me one little bit. Every ones wrapped up in the hype of the moment. Queen were dynamite back in the 70s and 80s and now wet, limp and a waste of time, whats the point?

snifflese wrote: You better watch it, Happy star or I am going to find some place to report you. You keep your filthy mouth shut. I think you already had issues with Innuendoes? I will figure out how to reach someone who runs this board if you don't stop with the nasty ininuations, got it? You take you filthy mouth and your buddy, runner and go post elsewhere. This thread is not just for die hard Queen fans, got it? You need to keep a civil tongue in your head.

happystar wrote: VH: Look at all the posts she has posted on here rabbiting on daily about how wonderful Adam is and he has all these fans would follow him around the world blah blah !!! What a load of tosh. If you are in the music industry then i bet you support cheese like Lambert. Your just as bad.

rockchic65 wrote: Yeah some of the stuff I've read is pretty over the top. Would be nice if people could focus on the important stuff rather than the superficial but hopefully they're in a minority.

SweetCaroline wrote: The sexy beast comments are in response to the nasty and bigoted remarks that Adam is fat and too camp or feminine and you know that by now, Icy! BTW, I didn’t start a new thread about American Idol because Adam was mentioned in some articles. Because you bitched about it, it got moved into the Adam Lambert thread. American Idol isn’t just about him. The new show isn’t about him at all. Since you are so negative about him, why don’t you mind your own business and stop sticking your nose in whatever I do and say?

happystar wrote: someonewholikesadam : That was a fairly limp rendition of Bohemian Rhapsody by Adam sung in west end style. The audience were usually headbanging when Freddie went into the rock part of the song after the operatic bits but the audience just stood there when Adam done that bit, meaning they just are not sure about him, just like many. Sorry but but he just does not cut it.

happystar wrote: To be honest Lambert does not do any Queen song any justice whatsoever. He sings in his west end singing voice just like Michael Ball or Alfie Boe. Lambert in a rock band like Queen is so wrong.

happystar wrote: Yeah Lambert is in the wrong musical category. Maybe he should go the Alfie Boe way and play variety at the London Palladium, that is more Lambert than standing on Wembley Stadium looking like a complete nellie lol

someonewholikesadam wrote: Happystar The funny thing is ... Adam HAS carved a career out of singing the Queen back catalogue. And is really successful at it! Again, revisionist history on your part. I know you don't fancy him singing Queen songs, and many don't. But there are many who do and that is why they've had a really, really successful tour.

happystar wrote: Sorry to dampen your face cloth but Adam is not the reason why the tours have been successful. Queen always sold out tour after tour even when Freddie was alive, tickets would get snapped up really fast, and Adam would not sell out if he was on his own or play the massive stadiums he would only be capable of small arenas.

Sorry to switch your tap off, but the Lambert fronted band is selling more tickets per tour than they did with Paul Rodgers. This line up has also been more successful in the US than Queen were in 1982. They most certainly haven't always sold out

happystar wrote: Queen + Paul Rodgers was pure rock n roll and not cheesy west end singing like Lambert does night after night. May & Taylor were in good rock n roll company with Paul Rogers.

SweetCaroline wrote: Adam has sung ALL of the songs well on the set lists of the over 200 QAL shows they have performed together in over 6 years but my personal favorites are Stone Cold Crazy and I Was Born To Love You!

SweetCaroline wrote: Is there someone I can call to stop this creepy stalker from harassing me? I think there might be a mental problem involved!

Sealion wrote: Just ignore it. (We all try to.) And I have to agree with you: Butterfly‘s posts are completely over the top for the last days. It‘s just one rant after another, going on and on and repeating old and older stuff. That IS sick! And nobody here is interested in that shit. Unfortunately I haven‘t got a solution for the problem. That‘s between you two. Maybe some of the longtime members have one? Anybody?

Sealion wrote: My only interest is at the moment, that the two of you stop fighting. You both turn every discussion into a bitch fest. THAT IS SICK!!! And yes, at the moment it‘s you, Butterfly, who can‘t stop. I would simply ban both of you, if I could. But as it seems, nobody here cares, so I will do the same as all the other people, interested in the collaboration: Leave, until everything has calmed down.

snifflese wrote: Icy! You repeat yourself in every long ranting post. If I hear one more time about Adam's botched lyrics, I will lose it. Who cares? It happens all the time to artists and it was that one time at the beginning of the tour for three nights. SO WHAT???? If you don't realize that you repeat yourself, there is a major problem. You are the problem on this board. I am not sure why it is Caroline you go after. No matter how little she says, you throw crap and nastiness at her. You also do the same to me and I don't like it. You are a huge bully and it is awful how you bring this thread down. I wish there was a moderator who could ban you. You have been like this for the last 8 years or so when I first started reading you on QOL. Now you have to toe the line a little more over there and you have becone more out of control here. Get a grip, girl. No one here likes your behavior. Why post if you are universally disliked? There must be places where you fit in better, I am sure. Don't blame it on heavy medications and such (many other excuses, but this is the last one!) which is always what you do when you finally get called out. There is always an excuse for you when you finally get singled out, you back off for a minute and then you are back to your unpleasant self in a few days. You are just a nasty person, I guess. Normal people don't behave like you do.

Sealion wrote: @Butterfly Please take a step back. Read, what you actually wrote in this forum for the last few days. And think about that: Did you really talk about the theme of the thread? Did you contribute anything new or interesting? I don‘t think so. Don‘t blame others. Those are your posts. And they are by far the longest and most aggressive ones. You answer every single time, when sweetcaroline posts anything. You don‘t agree with her. Fine. I don‘t agree with her either. But I don‘t start pages over pages of rants. I consider myself on the site of Queen. That‘s why I‘m here. Bye for now.
