Lamberts song writing is not even that good, is that a god given talent? I personally have thought Brian comes over a little bit jealous of Freddie at times, maybe Freddie knew this it's known he would avoid Brian in the studio with his nit picking and arguing, when has May ever sat praising Freddie in interviews while he was alive, and yes May will spout on about any celebrity he's famous for being a celebrity ass kisser. The comments from a celeb about Queen mean so much more to him than any Queen fan Ive always wondered why. I personally think he's just kissing Lamberts ass in case he gets bored of Queen and walks. God I miss Freddie ha.

miraclesteinway wrote: I don't believe Adam IS better than Freddie but..... Let's say for arguments sake that Adam Lambert is a technically better singer than Freddie, based on his ability to hit all the notes every time. Let's also say that Adam can control the tone of his voice, sing loud, sing soft, and avoid fatigue. These are all important things for a singer to be able to do. Freddie himself didn't always manage to do that live (but then Freddie partied way harder than Adam Lambert ever could....). Now before I'm lambasted and stoned and beheaded for saying all this.... What Adam Lambert doesn't have is the innate musicianship of Freddie Mercury. He can sing the notes but he doesn't have the internal rhythm, the sense of vitality, nor does he have that very special spark that Freddie had. Not many people do. The other problem of course is that Adam Lambert is a hired hand singing someone else's music with the original band members minus John. Actually the new bass player is good but he is very different to John... Freddie was singing his own music with people he'd had beside him in those formative years. Freddie's musicianship is streets ahead of pretty much anyone else's in rock music. True - he didn't always get it right, but when he did, his songwriting was the best, his backing vocals were the best, his lead vocals were exemplary, and he's pretty much the reason why we're all here. Adam Lambert I think is a good singer, but I've yet to see him flex his pecs as a musician in the fullest sense of the word. That comes over in the singing, and I think that's what the haters miss most. So, Freddie might be *impressed* by Adam Lambert's ability, but I don't think he'd be in any way threatened. For all we know Freddie might think he's shit of course.
