Magical? Wow, you just keep making the fool of yourself, over and over again. Please, don't stop.

happystar wrote: Magical? get a grip love i would have called it a car crash! The most ridiculous laughable collaboration of the millennium so far!

runner_70 wrote: Wading thru endless tweets of sad Glamtarts praising their shit idol. QAL are not only the most laughable collaboration of the millennium but will be the most laughable collaboration EVER

runner_70 wrote: Dee Snider? Really? SHould this be a proof for quality if a guy in his 60's calling himself a twisted sister loves lamebird?

runner_70 wrote: Lamebird is not takenseriously anywhere

runner_70 wrote: better like this - this annyoing twat will always be laughed about while you think of him as a legend in the vein of Freddie and Bowie lol

happystar wrote: My god please do not insult Freddie & Bowie if Lambert can be regarded as a legend for that is laughable. The guy loves playing with make up and been a lady boy bless him but he is not a rock star or a legend. He loves pretending that he is and people probably laugh at him because he does look f*king ridiculous and takes Queen to freak land and back.

At least she didn't call it spectacular and magnificent this time xD.

happystar wrote: ThIs was a clever marketing tool to get bums on seats so they call it Queen + and you think your getting a good deal of seeing two artists for the price of one but you are not really. What you get is two members from a previous rock band and a novice from a talent show who thinks he knows it all but he does not. Lack of ambience and the novice singer takes over the band with ridiculous costumes, screaming vocals and loses the Queen identity completely. This is not a Queen show in the slightest, it is a tribute of what they were back in the day with them trying to capture the magic but failing miserably. If you want to see a proper Queen tribute show go and see "Mercury" or " Magic" but excellent entertainment.

THIS is the best posting on QAL ever.

happystar wrote: Well the "failing miserably" bit is where they have tried to be Queen but we all know they will never truly be Queen ever again. They can only pay tribute to themselves as a four piece rock outfit. It is not Queen in the slightest. it is good news then that we have the magic on cds and dvds so we can look back and compare how brilliant Queen were with the unmatched magnificent Freddie Mercury. Now take a look at a limp Queen on stage with a rock n roll wannabe, adam lambert its not the same and fans have left in there thousands disappointed. yes lots of little girls drool over him but he is a novelty for all to laugh at for he does look plastic like a barbie doll.

happystar wrote: Many Queen fans have thrown in the towel to Queen so you wont hear from the masses who have stopped seeing them live. Brian knows exactly that he hacked off a lot of Queen fans when he issued a statement by saying" if you do not like the new boy then thank you and goodbye" Many Queen fans were outraged at his flippant comments as if it was not for them he would not be a millionaire. He never even asked the fans who THEY wanted to front Queen, he just went behind all the fans backs and picked who he wanted and that was regardless of what Roger thought. If they could not find anyone better than Freddie then why carry on with anyone? I think next year things will change and Queen will be very quiet. This freak show will be long forgotten and many ardent fans like myself will rejoice and be glad that this cheesy tour is long gone.

snifflese wrote: Happystar, why on god's green earth would Brian and or Roger consult the fans as to who they would like fronting the band? He went behind the fan's backs and picked out who he wanted? Really. So, if you are a storeowner and you are moving to another place, do you consult all the shoppers as to what they would prefer as far as a new location? I have never heard anything more ridiculous in my entire life. I think that qualifies as one of the most stupid statements I have ever read on here and that is saying a lot. When you make a personal decision, do you consult the world? No, you make it yourself for the most part, other than family or very close friend who might weigh in. I have no idea why you would ever think Roger was not on board as I have never read that. Seems to me it was Spike or Neill maybe, that sent them a video of Adam on Idol and Queen chose to come and sing with him and check him out at the Finale. I don't believe it was ever a Brian only decision. Then they much, they later did the EMA and then the IHeart show. Each one to carefully test the waters and vet him, which is what a proper band would do. Once Adam had passed all the vetting which was over a several year period, they decided to embark on their journey. Picking your band mate is not anyone else's business but Brian and Roger's (no clue what John said, but must not have nixed it!) and then the other members playing with Queen. If Brian had listened to die hard Queen fans, there would have been no QAL, which would have been a terrible shame seeing all the joy they have had playing as a band and all the job the million of fans have had in the last 160 plus shows. Brian is right about lump it, or leave it. If you don't like QAL, that is your right, but goodbye for now. It makes no sense to rant about QAL every day. But way more die hards have fallen in love with QAL, so your entire post is just ridiculous.

happystar wrote: I do not read other replies from these army of Lambprick fans on here so where are they all then, or are you his only two fans getting paid to defend this novelty boy? Time & time again same 3 girls on here so if Lambprick has male admirers where are they then ? AC/DC confirmed with there fans when Brian Johnson was picked to the front the band and that worked out fine. Brian has become very arrogant and he thinks Queen is his business were Roger is the last to know about stuff. May was always jealous of Freddie as Mercury always dismissed Mays idea if they were ridiculous and i am sure Lambert would also get the thumbs down from Freddie. I know John Deacon is not fussed, because he even rejected Robbie Williams as lead singers for Queen.

runner_70 wrote: Good one happy-the always refer to some "twitter postings" of converted Freddie fans that they made up themselves or dont even exist. Pathetic as the fat ladyboy

happystar wrote: Strange how the girls are the only ones who defend the fat lady boy on here because the majority of true Queen fans are only interested in Brian & Roger. ! They even make there own lies up to make him sound like he is popular ha ha ha........ If fans are thanking them for the tour its only because they enjoy listening to actual true musicians playing real instruments and not the fat lady boy poncing around the stage like a cross dressing pervert who pretends (its) a rock star.

happystar wrote: It is a big deal because it is very embarrassing for the average Queen fan to have to stomach a talentless twit who think he is gods gift when in essence he is a nobody he is only pretending that he is this big icon who cross dresses and he will never be a rock n roller ever. He is unoriginal as far as the dressing up goes and he has the cheek to wear a crown at the end of the show so he is copying of Freddie to a certain degree. Queen used to be taken seriously as a respected rock band, now they are as respected as that spoof band spinal tap. Lambert is painful to watch and i am sorry for going on but he means nothing to me at all. As a long standing Queen fan i am offended that this buffoon is lead singer even if the sly project is called Queen + Adam Lambert to give us purist fans a softer blow it is still wrong why not go on facebook and see all the people who hate Lambert especially on Freddie Mercury sites.

happystar wrote: Please tell me where the homophobic slurs where then? i am not homophobic but i do not like seeing fully grown men looking like freaks. It sickens my stomach. We are the one s who have the patience of a saint for the last 10 years Lambert has been in our faces with his crap singing and mincey clothes.

happystar wrote: Rockchic : If you think that is acceptable for Lambert to look like a freak then that is up to you but as you said earlier everyone laughs at him because he looks absolutely ridiculous. You take him serious as a performer well that says more about you been very immature indeed. Try discovering someone who has actual talent instead of looking like a muppet then you may get some respect on here.

runner_70 wrote: He neither sings well nor is he fun to watch. Its just becuase you Glambird Housewives have a crush on the ladyboy but wont tell anyone so you come up with his "Talent" - bullshit.

happystar wrote: i very much doubt Lambert could fill all the stadiums and arenas that he has been playing with Queen ! To be a credible performer he has to conquer that on his own and i doubt he ever will. Queen got the stadiums and arenas filled up because they are rock legends.

runner_70 wrote: Hahaha Glamtarts starting to backpaddle. The "Britney" example was done by me when the annyoing Ladyboyfans said "but they sell tickets". Now they come up with the same example saying that lametart is playing smaller audiences on his own so he must be more talented, How much more embarrassing can it get with them. Thank God this thing is over soon now and they are climb back under their Rock in their dreamworld for good. pathetic

happystar wrote: Raf: Freddie wore some of the outfits with tongue in cheek and he never took himself too serious but he was a brilliant singer and musician something Adam lacks at the moment. Mercury could afford to be what ever he wanted to be but the talent never took second best it was always in the front of fashion with Freddie. Lambert puts clothes clothes before talent and it shows!

happystar wrote: Well we could debate this till the cows come home but i know Lambert has made no great impression on the UK sales market and he has flopped here with his solo career. I think many people in the uk just do not connect with him. He is a gimmick and staying with Queen is his biggest downfall because if his solo career was most important to him he would have pursued that rather than playing karaoke games with Queen. When time does come to go solo he will struggle like hell.

runner_70 wrote: Not only the Uk. He is virtually unknown except for the US where his star has also faded. Was a lil star due to AI. Noone gives a shit about him in QAL

runner_70 wrote: In Europe he is completely unknown. QAL drawas tickets due to Maylor not because of the goat. Wonder where you got your infos about his success ==!!

runner_70 wrote: At the Geran board there is a duscussion about QAL. NOINE, really NONE is ever saying "Lmabe-Bert blew me away". Most who liked it went away "it is great to see Maylor but AL is a strane choice". Thats why Lamebird will have to rethink if it was worth it o spend his time as a karaoke parrott for the last six years while his solo career went down the toilet even further. He even lost his record contract now during his QAL stint. Says it all.....

happystar wrote: Rockchic: i disagree with what you said about Queen been exclusively wanting to be an albums band, they became very commercial in the late seventies and singles were very important to Queen because Roger said if people liked the singles they put out it made them curious to buy the album. After Bohemian Rhapsody singles were very important to Queen and there millions of fans.

snifflese wrote: Adam won't be able to pull in Queen size crowds and none of his fans expect that. Just to be able to tour and make money is all he needs to do. There are very few groups and single artists that are successful like Queen. I am sure Adam tours with them because it is just so much fun and he knows it will never happen on his own. Taking advantage of a wonderful opportunity is a good thing for him. He always says when he tours there are no private jets and amenities like Queen has and he just laughts. Sounds like he is fine with that!

runner_70 wrote: At least he recognizes his destiny playing dive bars Cruise ships and gaybars in front of 30-50 ppl billed as "ex Queen Singer" sreeching his way across the songs while the drunk"crowd" does not notice.

SweetCaroline wrote: Icy obviously doesn’t know about the attendance at Adam’s solo shows because she has never been to one. They are sold out just like the Queen shows and people go to more than one because they are so special! He doesn’t have his own band but never has a problem putting one together with excellent musicians!

snifflese wrote: I would say that Runner is a big troublemaker over on QOL. Everyone there is sick of him. At times it seems like you and he are mentioned in the same post. I know I wouldn't want to be mentioned along with the runner, that is for sure. If you don't see a problem right now on QOL, I don't get it. Talking the way he does about Queen on QOL is a HUGE problem. You don't see it because that is really how you feel, but pretend you don't. Even getting all over Adam about the sexuality question. Nobody else saw it that way strangely enough. How does Caroline want all the attention for Adam? I just don't see that. You want all the attention for Freddie. How are you different?

snifflese wrote: I replied to this remark YOU made a few posts earlier: "Talking about Queen on QOL is not spamming, dear. God, you are clueless. You want all the attention for AL as usual". OK, that is what you just said and I replied to it. Don't talk about QOL, if you don't want anything here from that site. The thing is it has been remarked here that runner has changed his name and is stinking that site up, too. If you don't see anything wrong with his comments, you are no better than he is. Of course, you are replying to Caroline who doesn't need your snarky passive agressive crap constantly thrown at her. The Dear, and "you are clueless" and remarking again that all the attention for AL as usual. How many times are you going to say that to her? You throw this at her when her remarks didn't warrant a nasty answer like that. You don't bring anything much to the conversation. All you do is gripe and disagree and your behavior to Caroline is no better than runner's behavior, you just aren't as crude.

snifflese wrote: Because you seem to always pick her out no matter what she says and you have a snarky answer like what I posted above. The remarks aren't made to you and you just have to say something mean and how she is defending AL. I don't get it, Icy. I do think that Runner should be banned here and on QOL. He is a nasty piece of work and I am surprised you don't see that, I guess. It is fine if something doesn't like something, but he makes it his life's work to post everywhere and it is ugly. Nobody needs to read stuff like that.

They all have not got a clue what real rock n roll is all about. If they think some tarty girly freak is there god so be it, we can all just pity these silly girls on here. Adam Lambert has always been freaky way of the queer scale as long as i can remember but he has no talent but to sing karaoke songs......... His day will come when he has to go it alone and will get a shock when everyone is sick to death of him. I am blessed with good taste in music, its such a pity Glamberts are brain dead morons and do not know good from bad.

You talk about other people slagging when you do it yourself, your a hypocrite so are you sure your not related to Mr.Trump either????

happystar wrote: Vocal Harmony: i would rather you did not communicate with me full stop. You cannot reason with a plank can you! Your the very reason Adam Lambert is way over hyped, buffoons like you who say he is brilliant when he has not got one number hit to his name.

happystar wrote: VH You call me childish so what about the childish crap you have done to me like open a forum in my name and get the rest of Queenzone to slag me off which was cowardly and nothing but bullying me. Totally disgusting. You are as low as many others on here so please get off your high horse because you are not better than me in any way. If anything i am a better man than you, at least i have never opened a forum on "vocal harmony" but maybe runner should do that and i will gladly slate you all the way pal.

happystar wrote: VH You obviously have a short mind, i once opened a thread on here about a certain topic and you blazed in and slagged me rotten when i was minding my own business, then you started one hell of an eruption of abuse towards me just because i had MY own opinions and you did not like that, you had to be right because you are arrogant and big headed and because you are in the music business hooorray so i guess that gives you the right to be righteous on here and override anything i say eh? 44 years i have been a Queen fan yes 44 years and i probably have a better ear for detail than you do as you spend your time at loud concerts so i guess your stone deaf and that is why you think AL is ok because you cannot hear the wimp and his lousy singing.

happystar wrote: Snifflese: you are deluded if you think people on here are kind to each other. "The fairy king" on here has just opened a thread on here asking people "Has RUNNER_70" got a micro penis? Now how nasty and pathetic is that, were is the common decency in anyone posting such a disgusting thread like that? I certainly have never been as crude as that on here EVER! This site is FULL of nastier people than Runner, and its just because you have never been in contact with them. The moderators on this site are appalling people who never check threads on here to see if they stop in line with decency. Vocal Harmony: I only become frustratingly annoyed when you decide that you are the moderator of my posts and say "No you are wrong because .......... Its as if you are a school teacher and your comments are more valid than mine which they are not. You sabotage any of my threads to try and pick faults out then you attack and start slagging me and you insulted me many times particularly over the mental health issues which was your pathetic weapon to make me look small. You are a bully even though you cannot see it, and the sooner the rest of Queenzone realises this the sooner people can stay away from you.

happystar wrote: Ha ha there you again girlies sticking up for themselves once again. Sweetcaroline has been posting all sorts of crap to justify her love and support for Lambert for ages now, she has said in some many words that Lambert makes Queen better than Freddie, she talks utter rubbish. Lambert would be dog poo if it had not been for the magnificent Queen songs that he makes his money out of night in night out and when he goes back to been a solo star he will feel his popularity shrink like a balloon. Yes i dislike Lambert infact i hate everything about him from his weird looks to his appalling singing when his tongue hangs out like a demented lizard yuk ! How anyone thinks he has talent i just do not know. easy money singing some one else's music but it takes a real genius to write rock anthems like the band did including Freddie. When or if Lambert writes a song as good as Freddie could i may sit up and listen. long wait i feel possibly to the end of eternity.

happystar wrote: Rockchic: How on earth can anybody prefer Adam Lambert over the mighty Freddie Mercury it is not possible unless they have serious crap tastes in music and do not have a clue? We know there is nothing to be gained by crowing on about it but it helps dampen down the overloaded hype for Lambert. Lambert was over hyped the moment he appeared on American idol and its continued and to be honest i cannot see the appeal at all. He is a bland boring performer who just got lucky and Queen will be the biggest thing he ever gets to do in his life.

runner_70 wrote: He sucks technically as well- he is sreeching , his vibrato is annoying and he has no timing at all. Spare us the comments like "it is on purpose" please - it is embarrassing enough already

runner_70 wrote: I hate the way he sounds and looks AND have ears that he is not able to carry a tune without his annoying vibrato. You Glamfuckers mix up "Hitting high notes" with "being able to sing": He is ALWAYS one or two seconds or even more off behind the music or vice versa. YOu cann call this "intentional" when it is in one song but not in EVERY FUCKING SONG this annoying tool sings. Just shows he isnt able to sing in a live environment. Full stop.

happystar wrote: Lets get back to this "good voice " that you mention time and time again shall we! As we know Adam is singing legendary Queen music, so when that is over and he has to go back to his bland solos career with the crap solo music then people will start to realise it was only the Queen songs that made him appear amazing, in fact if you have a good song sometimes lack of vocal ability gets you through the bad times and Lambert really is out cut out for rock n roll, he was in musicals was he not like "Wicked" which suits he voice more. Leave the rock n roll theme to the icons like Mercury, Jagger, Plant, Bowie, etc.......... All i am saying here is Lambert could find something else better to suit his vocal range, but murdering Queens back catalogue night after night is pretty painful.

runner_70 wrote: Even mentioning a vocal god like Perry with a nobody like LameBert in one sentence is a joke. Perry was on par if not better than Freddie in his heyday and he got SOUL in his voice. Something that Lamebird is completely lacking with his mechanical robotic vocal style of his ugly voice. So stop comparing 5star restaurants with McDonalds (Lameturd)

runner_70 wrote: How anyone can like Perry and like a tool like Lamefart is beyond me

runner_70 wrote: Perry has no timing problems and does no useless shrieking like the annoying goat

happystar wrote: Freddie Mercury was miles in front of Steve Perry even in the seventies, Mr Mercury was a hard act to compete with, i mean just listen to Freddie's voice on "Love of my Life" it is immaculate and pristine where as Steve Perry's voice is similar to Adam Lambert's voice which is thin and annoying although i would go with Steve Perry over Lambert any day and at Least Perry sings his own material for a living and not ripping the fans off. Freddie is regarded as the best male vocalist ever so why should Queen fans do with someone like Lambert who is not even on the same page as Freddie? Queen are short changing there talents with this odd ball Lambert.

He is only capable of insults and unintelligible responses. He is high ego and low IQ. And please do not try to talk to him about vocal technique and skill vs. tone, etc. He is not capable of understanding. Just ignore the fool and he'll go away.

happystar wrote: Rockchic: Your comment about Adam singing in perfect key to all the Queen songs is a joke because he cannot sing everything Freddie recorded, he has had terrible performances with many of the bands songs, and reaching high notes does NOT make him a great singer. Freddie was the master of vocals and Adam is still very much a novice and has more of his craft to learn.

happystar wrote: Well Freddie was not trained with his voice yet he became the worlds greatest male rock singer, so make you wonder that training aint that good after all. I bet the person that won American idol when Lambert was in the contest was not trained either, natural talent is what its all about.

happystar wrote: Snifflese You do sell Adam to the chimney tops and back but i still am not impressed, Why do you bother with your drivel trying to make out he is the bees knees when he has nver had a number one single or been voted best male vocalist ever? He is a "Z" lister as far as pop singers go, and i would probably say he is not as big as "One Direction" he is in the mould of "Callabro" or "Jackpack" just west end musical singers and that is it. Freddie done a hell of a lot more than Lambert did on stage, he played piano he was very active on stage, climbing scaffolding, and getting the audiences into a frenzy. Lambert does not exactly make any effort on stage and i find his performance quite lazy and sloppy. Mercury is the greatest male vocalist & Performer hands down, and your Lambert comes no were near the quality and richness of a Freddie Mercury performance so please cut the bull and look a little bit closer to your screen and see Lambert for what he really is, mediocre and that is been over generous.

happystar wrote: Sniflese: You sound so bitter that Lambert has never had a number one hit for a number one hit means people love the record. Freddie had musical skill and you are wrong about anybody can get an audience in to a frenzy - well they cannot, it takes a really skilled front man to keep an audiences attention, and many fans have told me that Freddie was very magnetic in that you could not keep your eyes off him, and before you say that is what Adam does for you well your a woman with a sad teenage crush like the other three stooges on here and you all secretly have teenage crushes on him. When you actually grow up you will feel like a right plank.

Adam has proven he is very versatile in singing various genres: pop, rock, funk, R&B, country, soul, etc. I’m glad he doesn’t stick to only one like some others do. That would be boring. What Adam doesn’t have IMO is a distinctive sound which is what seems to sell recordings, like the whine of a Sam Smith or the twang of a Willie Nelson. I have loved Ted Neeley. I would love to hear Adam do that scream in “Gethsemane” that John Legend was not able to do.

What Lambert doesn't have is soul, or the ability to since rock songs convincingly, like a rock singer instead of a Broadway crooner. What he also doesn't have is all Sam Smith's Grammy, Billboard, Golden Globe, and Academy award trophies :) In fairness, he does have a good range and he sounds good singing some genres of music. He also seems to be a decent person (although it's always hard to judge that since the public only see what celebrities allow them to).

The second single "Seven seas of Rhye" charted top twenty and the third single "Killer Queen" made no2 in the charts but Adam Lamberts singles havnt even scraped the sides of the charts as he is a big flop here in the UK as far as singles go. People can see through the gimmick of who he is and what he is. -Fake.

I doubt sweetcaroline has heard of any of these people and yet still insists Lambert is the best at every genre -- the way I used to think of Fred many years ago in my teens.

I'm going to get bitched at by some Glamberts here because they think I'm throwing AL a bone when I liked him singing Save Me. I found it very good. No, of course she hasn't heard of any of the other artists mentioned. It's all AL or nothing.

As i have said before Queen provide the music on stage live and Adam only sings the songs and mediocre at that. He will never ever get any bigger than what he is now and that was because of Queen.

The sound quality is totally crap but the stuff he did at Upright Cabaret was that type of thing and if he'd have reined in the acrobatics a bit they would have been brilliant, I would love him to redo come home and I can't make you love me. Dust in the wind as well actually, and I liked his One More Try tribute as well.

I'd say what he can do with his voice is unreal, and his range is off the charts though a lot of it is headvoice/falsetto but it spans about seven octaves apparently. I personally find him hard to listen to unless he's singing opera since his accent makes English songs sound odd, he did a version of show must go on, but opera wise he's incredible. I suspect if Adam did those Upright Cabaret songs now they'd sound a lot richer, makes me wonder if he can still sing that pure, they were done when he had to take time off from Wicked. The sound on the vids was awful so they probably sounded a lot better live, but actual vocal technique wise they show he has insane control over his voice. Yeah it puzzles me how anyone can say he can't sing, liking how he sings is personal taste but objectively the guy has insane vocal ability.

I agree with you that what was also so captivating about Adam was his ability to take Simon’s criticism graciously and with humor. What I loved was that despite the comments about never going to Nashville, Adam ended up incorporating a short version of “Ring of Fire” into his Glam Nation tour and ultimately did go to Nashville, performing that very version of ROF in the Ryman Auditorium of all places!

George did have a beautiful voice and I loved his STL tribute, no one's disputing that but either he didn't want to sing with them on a tour or wasn't asked, depending what you believe. That aside Adam does a brilliant job, sounds different than either Freddie or George but there's more than one person can do justice to a song. I'm sure if they'd asked JSS he'd have done a brilliant job as well and he sounds nothing like any of them.

George admitted it was the hardest thing he'd ever had to sing and it's far from the hardest Queen song so not sure how he'd have done with some of the others, they aren't really his style. Why compare people, either voice wise or in any other way, George did things his way, Adam has a different way and as to the in your face part, it's a stage act, he doesn't walk around all day looking and acting the way he does onstage. Maybe to your surprise some people actually find it amusing, which is what he's aiming for.

Emotionally wise, yes it was hard for him to sing. But I do think GM could have pulled of quite a bit of the Queen catalogue. I love how he sang at the Freddie Tribute, he stole the show. And his own music wasn't too bad either.

happystar wrote: I do think Freddie would have preferred George to do Queen the honours rather than Adam. George had more experience of the pop world and Wham were a great 80s group rubbing shoulders with Queen in the charts many times. Lambert is more musicals were George is pop / ballad orientated. Songs like "Your my best friend" "Its a hard life" "Love of my life" are examples of what George would have done brilliantly at. Adam tries his best at it i am sure but sadly he has no substance and sings songs so blank with no feeling to them and to be honest there do not sound as dynamic as Freddie used to deliver them. Still he has had his 15 mins of fame!

Emotion is more important than screaming like Axl Rose on cocaine. Lambert has really got away with his style and people do not analyse what a bad singer he really is.

There is no comparison between how he sang Whole Lotta Love and how he now performs the Queen songs, To me it just shows how he has nurtured his talent and improved tenfold over the years. These videos are good to see just how far he has come, but are in no way indicative of how he now sings. He did over sing and hit too many crazy high notes which he no longer does .Now his performances are much more nuanced and vastly improved!

Snifflese your Queen knowledge is poor because you seem to know more about Lambert than you do Queen history and that is shameful. If Freddie never came to the rescue of Brian & Roger there would be no Queen and no great music. Brian & Roger would have quit, Roger would have gone back to dentistry and Brian would have carved out a career in astronomy.

To shun the old fans like Queen have is in my opinion shameful yet they expect all support when they release anything.

Queen now look cheap and tacky and you may as well kiss that legacy bye bye as Adam has screwed that up big time.

You people keep others from posting because they don't want to deal with you three. Quite a shame actually.

Your over the top love for Adam makes it difficult to like him, even when you do post video evidence of something that might be impressive.

I just get tired of everyone slamming him and Brian and Roger (and on a Queen board, no less!!). Freddie's legacy is golden and will never tarnish. QAL has gained Freddie fans and adulation, what is the problem with that? You are so concerned that anyone might be perceived to sing the songs well, that you go crazy over the idea . Your posts border on demented at times, along with the other two nasties. No one will ever reach the status of Freddie, but we can enjoy QAL and you don't want anyone to do that. That is your problem, not mine. I can enjoy both Queen and now QAL and it is a wonderful thing. And just like a lot of people have said, I bet Freddie and Adam would get along like a house on fire! I just really think so! Keep your snarky comments to yourself and add something positive to the conversation occasionally. That would be a good thing for a change instead of always getting on people for stupid things and calling them out.

Did you like the original recording better or the reworked one? I never liked the original. The ballad is good though. And in a way Lambert sang that version first, if I‘m not mistaken. And he did a bloody good job, I have to say. No objection to that promo from my part.

Oh crap we are going to disagree ;-). I actually like the original one better. Same with Born To Love You, simp be IMO, Freddie sounded so happy on it. The Queen version is a little too 'polished' if that makes sense. Whatever way AL sang Freddie solo music, it's another thing I wish Q+AL didn't do. It's one of things I feel Brian and Roger managed to squeeze AL in.

I agree with IWBTLY. Great solo song by Freddie. In the end it‘s just music. Music needs to be heard, so I take it as nice promo, when Q+AL are doing these songs. And I think that Lambert does also a good job singing IWBTLY. It‘s a shame, they are only ever playing it in Japan. The version with Lambert, that I‘ve watched on YT, radiates joy as well. It‘s close to Freddie‘s music video in that point.

If you and happystar actually had these opinions after going to a show your argument might carry more weight. Hearing the band in an arena playing through 120k of PA with a bass end that actually vibrates like it should, mids that actually fill the space and produce audible volume with highs that are clarion clear gives a very different sound to listening to a wildly compressed digital overload coming through your phone or shit laptop speakers. Listening in that way gives you no idea of the power the band created, on any given night, and also gives you no idea how Lamberts voice sits in that vast sound. I take it you probably never saw Rush live, go and listen to a Rush show off Youtube and comment on Geddy Lee's vocals on a Rush forum You and nappyfuck are so full of hate toward someone other than Freddie fronting a Queen or Queen+ show and so inept at logical educated thought that all you can do is type insulting childish drivel.

Cheers, I love Queen and when I discovered Adam singing with them and then looked up his previous stuff I really loved his voice and what he can do with it, so for me it was a match made in heaven Adam doing my favourite songs, especially since I'm not exactly a major fan of some of his own types of music.

Even Paul McCartney said about Freddie " He is the anchor of that band, i think you can tell when someone has musical skill and he has it" I appreciate Freddie more than most on here because i see things in him that you probably dont.

SweetCaroline wrote: I resent when I am constantly being attacked for not being a Queen fan instead of people being happy that I have become such a devoted fan even if it is through their association with Adam. I didn’t have time for any musical groups in the ‘70’s. I got married in 1970, had my son in 1971 and my daughter in 1973. When she was 2 weeks old my young husband died of a massive heart attack. Obviously I was pretty busy after that. I first saw the BoRhap music video in the 80s on MTV and saw them perform the first time during the live Live Aid broadcast. I’m thrilled that I have caught up with various groups later in life when I have more time to truly appreciate them. I’m sure if I had seen Freddie live, I would have totally flipped over him. I also regretted never seeing Elvis live. When he died in 1977 I was mad at myself for not trying to see him when he had toured in my town just before that. My kids were only 6 and 4 when that happened. So icy et al give me a damn break! I have loved every live show I have seen since that time when my kids got older: Boy George/Culture Club, Duran Duran (3 times), U2 (4 times), Loretta Lynn, Garth Brooks, Leonard Cohen, Foreigner, Yanni, Donny & Marie (2 times), Captain & Tennille, Liberace, Sting, Def Leppard, KISS (have I forgotten anyone?), oh yes, Queen Extravaganza, Adam solo (5 times) and QAL (3 times). Is that enough to qualify me as a good judge of live shows and performers when I say over and over again that the QAL show is MAGNIFICENT?

I see Icy is over on the dark side, just like on Qol. I will say it is a sad day over on QOL when someone gets banned for posting some link more than once, when there were horrible things said about Adam. Since the mod hates him, I guess that is par for the course. I am also not surprised that it was Icy who notified them that Caroline had done that. She like a rat terrier on Caroline just like she is here. I don't understand why she cares about what is linked. She is not the moderator, If she doesn't like it, she can scroll. Leave people alone, Icy!! As far as the homophobia, you have your head so far up your butt, you just can't see things they way they are. I and many others certainly feel that Adam's AMA performance just about blew his career. He was yanked off of one show (although he went on another) and has never sung on a Christmas show, done an Anthem at a game or many of the things other Idol people were doing and not just the winner. I think that had he not sung that sung and performed like that (obviously his choice, but the consequences were due to homophobia) his career would have had a different trajectory. Whether that is good or bad, I don't know, but it would have been different, I am sure of that. Adam has recently opened up a little about homorphobia and said things like that himself, there were obstacles that now aren't as much of a problem for artists starting out. And before you scream about Freddie's obstacles, we know how awful it was for him. No history lesson needed. But you just told Caroline, homophobia is an excuse, so I am mentioning that it hasn't been all daisies for Adam. Also there were quite a few homophoic posts on QOL of which nothing was ever done. But let someone post something more than once, and that is truly grounds for banning. The banning was because it was a Glambert. The rest of you people can be pretty ugly, although this place takes the cake and there seems to be no moderation here! Talking about shit stirring, Your fingers are BROWN, Icy. Read all your long diatribes and then see the fairly mild, normally short responses from Caroline and any idiot can see who the instigator is. If you wonder why this bothers me so much, I used to teach and if there is one thing I hate, it is a bully and you have struck me as one for years and Caroline is always the person you pick on and have formany of those years. Mind your own business and we would all be fine here. She has her views, you have yours. If you, Runner, and Happy can say your nasty crap, why can't someone link to an article or youtube? At least she isn't using filthy language and berating people and the band. Who is the problem, HUH?

There must be something to always have your knickers in a twist about her and now me, because I keep bringing it up to you. No matter what she says or does or doesn't post, you call her out and when she responds, you go on about homophobia and bans and bigging Adam up. I could write your post for you at this point. Why can't you guys just ignore? I know she would love to ignore you. And NO, I have never met Caroline, nor talked to her, nor do I know anything more than you do about her. I just get sick over how she is treated by you for no reason. There is no mod here and no one appointed you. So, just be quiet about it. If you can ignore the vile crap that Runner and Happy post (and now you even agree with them and act friendly!!), what Caroline says or links to, is pretty benign. But that is just the same behavior you had on QOL. All the while pretending to be open minded, yea, right! That is perfectly fine, but you always pretend otherwise, but get your digs in all over the place. Leaving her and me to our own devices without your input, would be really nice, We are all grownups and can mind our own business. That would be lovely!

What I DID say was I don't understand how someone can experience homophobia or anything bad and then go and bully someone else. I would think one might try not to do that, since he would know how it felt. There should be more empathy for a bullied person, if you had experienced something bad. As usual you either didn't understand what I said, or you just twist it, which seems to happen often. I have empathy for Caroline, for example, as many people seem to pick on her, but you are the worst offender. Sorry, but that is how I see it. I hate to see people ridiculed and called nasty names for any reason. Hence I can't stand Runner and Happy. I just don't find that any of you three make this a better place. I fully believe that people who might like to post won't, because of all the nastiness. That is sad to me.

Very briefly when asked and nothing bad whatsoever, the interviewer was asking in the context of it being sad that Freddie lived in a time when Aids wasn't manageable like it is now and that he didn't feel able to be open about his sexuality or his illness.

happystar wrote: Rockchic you are so narrow minded and ignore all the negatives that have happened to your so called legend. You know a legend is someone who had talent and charisma like Liberace, Freddie Mercury, John Lennon , but not Adam. I find it so hard to understand what folk see in him, am i missing the vital ingredient here? Seen lots of footage of him but still do not get it and why people swoon over him, i mean his solo stuff is weak and he is only popular cos he sings Queen songs but that is it, Maybe when Queen are done he will piss Meatloaf fans off next lol

Correct me if I'm wrong but I was sure a fag hag is a heterosexual woman who spends a lot of time hanging out with homosexual men. There's no one way or right way to be gay, . . . ,

We were laughing our butts off though. He wasn‘t the legend, that he has become through his early death. He was only the frontman of a rockband, who made great music, but wasn’t for everyone. And many people did criticize him hard for his choices. You know that. Just imagine, what some people here would write, if Lambert did anything like this now. These posters already seem to get sick by half a kilt over trousers (looks like a woman?). Or a bike on stage. Maybe we all should keep in mind, that all Freddie wanted to do, was to ENTERTAIN. and becoming a legend and make money ;) And his music is still entertaining millions of people. Also on stage, performed by his old buddies Bri and Rog and by Lambert. And by all the flaws he has, he must have balls of steel, that he dared to take on that job. Maeve we all should keep this in mind: it’s only entertainment.

It is a once in a lifetime opportunity and he has many years left to do other things. They all love touring together!! And it is not as if he hasn't done other things, since he has put out music and toured and been on Glee and Rocky Horror and several other things. He apparently has a part in the new Lego movie and he is recording his new music. He does have other irons in the fire, but Queen is a priority, as it should be. I just wish they would record music. My son is home for a visit and he just said today he wished they would record together since they fit so well as a group. I have heard that sentiment from many people at this point in time. Attitudes have changed vastly since 5-6 years ago. While you may consider yourself a "fan", I certainly don't.

Well it takes more than a click of the fingers nto become legendary. I think with certainty, Freddie would be a legend if he had other died so young. Live Aid performance was legendary before he died.

But it wasn’t immediately considered that. You are right, that it put Queen back on the „acceptable card“ after the debacle with South Africa, because people had to realize, that it was „good“ ( they would not dare to call them legends). LOL. My take is, that Queen would have parted ways, had Freddie not gotten ill. It would have been over by 1987. Freddie would have followed his solo path, doing what he wanted to do. But without the others, he would not have been as successful. Queen‘s music would still be played, but Mercury would not have become that god-like figure. He would still be a human being with all his flaws, ups and failures.

You can think what you want about us as fans, but I am a Queen fan, an Adam fan and a QAL fan, in addition to many others. I am not obsessed with just one artist and think he is the bee's knees. I like a lot of them! I just don't like the way you slam QAL all the time with petty stuff. To each his own!

I think the answer can already be found in your question. Very few people have heard of him and will hear it. He found his niche. But it‘s a really small market and not considered a threat to Queen. Lambert re-recording WWTLF? Even I as a skeptic person was absolutely stunned by it, when I first heard it live. I don‘t think, it would be as stunning on a record. But it certainly would be a real alternative to the original: Brian and Roger recording Brian‘s song in a newer version with Lambert could in my opinion even chart. And THAT would be considered a threat to Queen‘s legacy by the diehards.

Sealion wrote: @rockchicl65 It looks like a lot of people. But Queen has millions of fans. 18 mio. monthly listeners on Spotify, as I have learned in another thread. When you take these numbers into consideration, it‘s really just a small portion of fans, who are also fans of Martel. Personally I don‘t care for him. He can record, what he likes to record. But I will rather listen to my old ones. And no, I wouldn‘t say no, if our old guys would record something with Lambert. Old, new, I don‘t care. As long as it‘s good. ;-)

As long as Brian and Roger are out there playing, I won‘t go and see a cover band. No need for me. I can see, that some fans appreciate his performances, because he sounds almost like Freddie did. Maybe I would go, if he played in my backyard. ;-) As for buying a record: No, I don‘t think that there is really a need for a record of an imitator. Certainly not for me.

snifflese wrote: Icy, you sound totally deluded! Why am I bitter and jealous about Freddie's legacy? That makes no sense at all. He is amazing, his legacy will be forever, but it has nothing to do with appreciating Adam and QAL. Why you equate the two, I will never understand. People can really like more than one thing. The person who is jealous and bitter about Freddies' legacy is you. You are just crazy because people like Adam singing Queen and you are afraid that will affect Freddie somehow. That is the only thing that makes any sense to me. You are the Bitter one, the jealous one, truly. If you weren't, you wouldn't make all these crazy statements. I don't care much about Adam's legacy. It will be what it will be. He has his own path and it isn't influenced by Freddie's legacy, I really don't give it much thought. I appreciate all he has done in the last 10 years and his legacy will never be one like Freddie's, but I feel he has been very successful and will continue to be. For someone to be so tied up in a dead singer who you never even saw in concert is really odd. It is like Freddie is the main focus in life from the things you say. Obsessions are never a good thing. You are the only person concerned about legacies and if QAL wasn't as good as it is, I doubt you would be worried. I wish you would quit saying I am not a Queen fan. As I told you, I have loved Queen way before you, back in the beginning. Just because I am not a fanatic does not mean I am not a Queen fan. It ain't all or nothing like it is with you. I loved Queen, I never say mean or nasty things about them. But you do about Adam and QAL all the time. That is why you are not an Adam fan. So don't lump me into the I am not a fan category, cause I don't fit there. You do. You just have to read all your posts where you always second people who are saying negative things and adding your own. No problem with that, but then you try to pretend you are an Adam fan. Your behavior does not indicate that at all, either here or on QOL. I don't come here at Caroline's bidding. I don't know her, but I have watched you slam her for years for no good reason on QOL. That was before I even knew who you were. I could never figure out why and it has been a very long time. I am sure you had plenty to do with her bans since the mods also don't like QAL. I've told you numerous times that you are a bully and you hide behind statements like," Well, I do like Save Me" and this week "I am friendly with Rockchic". As I said, Big Deal, the rest of the time you are a wolf in sheep's clothing and then act all distressed and throw crap at me when I try to point out all your inconsistencies! Just own what you are like Runner and Happy. I know exactly what they are and while I don't like it at all, they never try to pretend. You pretend and I hate that just as much and you can get just as ugly as they do sometimes with your accusations. Don't give me the" poor little me" bit. I have read your posts over many years and that doesn't fly with me! I know better and I know exactly what you are.

You are really never kind and always out to get certain people and deflecting everything. I am not out to promote Adam. I have never posted a link (except maybe one article) and don't go on and on and on other than I really like QAL and Adam. I like him singing Queen a lot more than his own music. I am not sure where the big promotion comes in? My point about Queen history you still haven't comprehended after all this time. I don't need the tidbits to enjoy the music. I like what I like and whether he wore a cape at this show or how old he was when he passed on, isn't at the top of what I deem important. We just don't value the same things, I guess. I can anjoy the music without very unimportant facts. If you had an interesting tidbit, that might be something very different, but what you have put out there so far, is definitely not interesting. I can easily get through life without those useless facts. I may defend Adam as part of QAL because I think some of you are ridiculous. No matter what positive thing someone says, three of you can be counted on to say something ugly, none of which contributes to the conversation and keeps others from posting on her.

As Runner rightly pointed out he is not a rock star, he does however insult those brilliant artists gone by that were true rock icons, Bowie, Mercury, Jagger, Ozzy, Snider, etc........ You keep on saying you are going to ignore all the posts on here but your teacher arrogance kicks in and you have to put your pupils into there place. You Glamberts are the most arrogant fans i have ever come across, you argue your points with no credible evidence to back he /she /it up !

Lambert is a piece of turd compared to the rock elite gone by before him/she.

Yes he likes the limelight and he may feel big headed because he is on stage with two rock legends, i wonder how many other rock legends would have taken him on board, not many i would imagine. i am very surprised Brian May was even looking at reality talent shows in the first place because him and Roger detested Simon Cowell and those cheesy shows and Roger was the one in interviews who would say that talent shows are killing real talent off in the music business, next min the two hypocrites take on Lambert. And you wonder why some of us are hacked off.

When Freddie wore his crown (HIS CROWN) it made him chuckle and he laughed about it being called "The King of Queen" - when Lamebird wears it he takes it completely seriously and looks like "Now I Am the one wearing it" - i cannot see any humour in this at all. And his stage banter is fully scripted - if you like "humor" like "Giving head" when he is sitting on Frank oder this embarrassing intro to "STL" then I pity you. In interviews he is coming across as arrogant twat trying to play his role down but you can completely feel the message "I am in Queen now" .

Not true, there's loads of original Queen fans at the shows, they post about it afterwards, very often saying they were skeptical or wary of going but wanted to see Brian & Roger but were blown away and would definitely go again. Obviously it's not for everyone but you really are way off the mark.

If having a Deacon son showing support for QAL doesn't do the trick,, nothing is going to show them they are misinformed. They must have nothing else to do in life and this is the highlight of their day to be pains in the butt. I am sure in real life no one has time for them and at least here, people reply to their crazy statments. Crazy nut jobs on the internet are always poor souls in real life. They don't have much of a life, so this is where they create havoc.

SweetCaroline wrote: My life is great! I haven’t done anything wrong for which to take responsibility. I haven’t been responsible for getting people banned from chat forums and getting whole sections of posts deleted and destroyed because of constant negative bitching!

SweetCaroline wrote: When I post I’m not promoting and defending. Just posting the truth. When people like you bitch about it, I either let it go or respond. When I respond I am accused of defending and promoting and then it is a vicious circle and the moderator bans the wrong person because he agrees with the person who is bitching!

We will never get those days back now and i pity the kids that never got to see the 4 guys in Queen when they were the greatest rock group on the planet.

SweetCaroline wrote: snifflese, don’t invite the mod to this forum, though it would be the end of the trolls. Spamming and rehash are the two favorite words of the Adam/QAL haters. They can’t stand any positive remarks about Adam and reviews of the QAL shows. The fans who are left over there walk on eggs so that they don’t dare look too enthusiastic. Icy claims innocence but has no qualms about complaining about those positive posts as she did here regarding the Vegas poster that Adam’s image is bigger than Brian and Roger. I post things as a way of informing about what is going on and then icy twists it into something negative that I am promoting Adam. Go to a show and then you will experience the excitement and joy they generate. There is absolutely nothing to bitch about but then that’s what you thrive on—bitching!

Maybe, as with Lambert, that explains why his appeal is mainly to grannies and Vegas lounge lizards.

What's bad about him having a drink onstage anyway, he wouldn't be the first or the last.
