Nice interview he really admires Freddie.

If only some AL fans would realise Freddie was the groundbreaking artist that Freddie was. Anyway, AL isn't the only one who kept or keeps the torch burning for Freddie. The biopic is doing it.

Yes, the biopic even more so. It's funny when Lambert worshippers actually think Adam is in the same category as Freddie.

Why is it a competition? Adam is talented, not in the same things as Freddie and not in the same way but that doesn't negate his talent. Adam admires Freddie and various other artists just like Freddie admired some other artists.

It's not a competition, there is no competition with Freddie Mercury.

There shouldn't be but some of Freddie's fans seem to want to make it one, constantly putting him down for no reason, makes no sense to me.

I'm sure some probably do but you have to remember they are probably young fans who had never heard of Queen and were Adam's fans first, and just like original Queen/Freddie fans you tend to stay loyal to the person you became a fan of first. They see him in the same way Queen fans see Freddie, it's not about what he's doing with Queen they are just fans of Adam and to them he's as amazing as Freddie is to Queen fans. That's just the way being a fan works.

Iron Butterfly wrote: Nope, not only the young fans think AL is in the same leauge as Freddie. I know it's a fact more than one person 50+ think AL was and is the next Elvis, Bowie, and of course Freddie. It's nutty to be honest. If AL ends up being a legend years from now, that's one thing. He's nowhere near to it now.

He doesn't need to be a legend and maybe he doesn't want to be, he certainly doesn't sound like it's a goal he has in mind. There are a few legends and a whole host of talented people who never become one, doesn't mean they aren't great and doesn't mean their fans are wrong for liking and supporting them. Seems strange that even when the post is about an interview where he's praising Freddie he's still in the wrong somehow!

Iron Butterfly wrote: Quite a few of his fans want hm to be a legend. For example Why do you think sweetcaroline gets so upset when certain other artists ate more popular nthan AL? Envy and wanting and needing everything for AL. Hell, I wouldn't even call Adele or Dam Smith legends yet, just two artists who have made their mark because of what they do and their successes. AL realises he is no Freddie, some of his fans don't realise it.

And that was my point initially, just because he has fans who want this or that for him doesn't mean it's what he want's or thinks he should have and it shouldn't be a reflection on him as a person. I judge him by his own thoughts and actions not what a few fans think. He has lots of great fans but he also has his fair share of fruit loops, hardly his fault.

You don't get that with Freddie? Yes, he's a legend. I think he would have been one even if he didn't pass away so young. When I read that AL is a mix of Bowie, Elvis, Freddie that's way over the top because he's nowhere near that yet, sorry this are facts.

No facts at all. Because there is no real definition of the term legend. It‘s always objective. Ergo, your facts are only your facts. The only fact is we’re talking two humans. One is long dead, was very successful and apparently loved. The other one is from a whole different generation, only on the scene for a few years and hold against the same criteria. I will never get THAT. Because you’re comparing apples and oranges. The world has changed too much, the music world and business is totally different today from back then. Still some know-it-alls here think they could compare an apple with an orange. There is no sensible comparison possible or even needed. It isn’t a competition. I‘m sick of these stupid comparisons. From both fansides.

It may well have done but my point still stands, that's hardly Adam's fault either, he can't be held responsible for what his fans choose to say and do.

You know when I read your earlier post on this topic, thinking what a nasty piece of work you are, I wondered how long it would be before you attempted to hurt someone by reminding us once again that Fred is dead. It took less than half a day for you to trot that one out again. By my count, that's at least 3 times you've done that. In your own deluded way, you may think you're being picked on here but actually most people have given you a fool's pardon for your behaviour. But you've now posted comments about a person's parents to try to hurt her, and you did that knowing there is a serious medical condition involved. That's utterly despicable and you should be ashamed of yourself. So congratulations -- while there's no moderation on QZ, you've now drawn attention to yourself in such a way that I doubt the fool's pardon will be much evident from this point on.

You two are the disgustingly hateful people here. I feel sorry for you.

I know it. They are very ignorant... I mean he came from American Idol. Wasn't C-Lebrity written about people like Adam Lambert? That's what he is. The biggest news article about him recently was his mansion he purchased... his fans should be thanking Freddie for that.

Who are you talking about here? I don't think AL appearing on another reality show is a good thing, especially if he has nothing new to promote. My guess is he will do a Queen song. Funny that you can be more than negative yourself.

I wouldn't exactly call it a reality show, they are all celebrities who go on the show paired with professional dancers, a lot of them having won dance championships. It's musicals week so Adam's doing a song from the WWRY musical.

Iron Butterfly wrote: I know about the show. I watch DWTS to be honest. Gosh, another Queen cover :-/ How is it known it will be a Queen cover? Wish he could choose another musical.

It was posted on here - link It makes sense to do a cover from WWRY since he's been touring with Brian & Roger for so long and with the movie out and Queen music being everywhere at the moment.

I suppose he could have done Wicked, I imagine he wanted to do something he had a connection to and Queen is big at the moment.

Well without new music out he's best known for Queen + so it makes sense to me, I don't call it jumping on their popularity and I'm pretty sure they won't see it that way, it's more promotion for their music, maybe setting up a tour announcement.

It never hurts for people to be reminded of Queen, they won't all necessarily be Queen fans who are watching the show and might not have seen the movie. It might encourage them to be interested in seeing a show when they announce a tour.

The number of shows they have done together must be close to 200 at this point. He is part of Queen's history which is comprised of three periods, the Queen period, the QPR and the QAL. Whether you agree with that or not, that is a fact. As long as Brian and Roger perform as Queen plus, it is a permanent part of Queen's history. I also never understand why playing concerts all over the world does not promote Queen's music. That is simply ridiculous as Queen has gained tons of new fans over the last 6 years due to Adam's singing. You are fooling yourself, if you can't see that. Adam has been very lucky to sing with Brian and Roger and have this amazing time with them, but Queen would not be touring to such great success without him. Brian and Roger do not want to tour without him. They all have fun and are able to do what they do best at an amazingly high level. I do not see why that is such a hard pill for some of you people to swallow. You must think somehow Adam is taking something away from Freddie which is just a silly idea. Psychologically speaking, I think some of you are worried that Adam is too good at what he does, otherwise it wouldn't bother you so much. It doesn't matter what is said here on the boards, you always need to denigrate everything the man does. Some of you people are Freddie fans and some people are Adam fans and there is nothing wrong with that. It would be so nice if Adam wasn't always crapped on which some of you love to do. And no, Icy, I am not trying to big him up, but some of you just won't ever give him a break and blaming it on his fans is stupid. Every celebrity has dumb fans who are over the top but that shouldn't reflect on the artist. If a silly fans makes you dislike someone, that doesn't say much for you. Can't we give it a break? The movie is doing wonders for Queen and so is Adam when he tours as QAL. He is a really nice man with a great vocal ability and it is just mind boggling some of the things that are said here about him.

I'd be so embarrassed and disgusted watching that crap. I'd feel a similar sense of embarrassment if I went to go to a Britney Spears concert. Adam doesn't have a rock & roll voice... he has an embarrassing voice. It's really really like listening to karaoke, because I've heard Freddie, and Freddie has a loud, powerful, rock voice. I'm also very embarrassed by Adam's dance moves. He stands in place or walks slowly across the stage, he thrusts his pelvis in the most amateur way, the first thing you think of when you see it, "he can't dance." His voice is lightweight and that's great for bubblegum pop, but not loud, guitar driven hard rock. If I brought one of my friends to a Queen and Lambert concert, I'd never hear the end of it. He's so terrible and embarrassing.

you'd actually be surprised at some of the people who go to these shows, hard rock/metal guys and they post about it on twitter and instagram, even I was surprised at that.

MisterCosmicc wrote: Adam isn't a hard rock vocalist at all. He tries to sing the songs like they are all operatic (he's not an opera singer). He makes some notes last too long, he tries to show off his voice. It's not an enjoyable experience for me to listen to him singing Queen songs.

I know Queen are popular over here but not everyone who's liked their music is still keeping up to date on what they're doing, some probably don't even realize they're still touring at all, I didn't initially, and while you may not care if people want to go to their show I'm sure Brian, Roger & Adam will.

Well I can't speak for the whole UK but regardless that's what he's singing for whatever the reason, doesn't really matter IMO, he has no new music yet so may as well be Queen as anything else.

Boy, it does burn you that Rami and the biopic is helping to get Queen many new fans. You want AL to be the savour for Queen. Rami isn't riding on Queens and Freddie's coattails the way AL has been doing for years. Once again, you want to compare,an actor to a singer this time, and yes we al know which one you think is better. Acting n a biopic is altogether different than singing Queen songs.

Bingo.

SweetCaroline wrote: I’m not bitter about Rami. I’m not negative like you. I like him and am going to see the movie again today in a theater with a better sound system. The point is the actors in the movie did not perform in front of a live audience of thousands of people like the members of QAL have done all over the world. They performed on a sound stage for a couple of months until the production was finished. No need to act and perform and sing over and over in all kinds of situations, weather, etc. Film can be edited and there are multiple takes until they get it right, but as Brian likes to say, what THEY do is “live and dangerous.”

You just don't seem to understand that most people are not die hard fans like you and honestly, don't care. I don't see why in the world that would ever be important. You can enjoy Queen's music without knowing the history and you either like or don't QAL. It is as simple as that. I would never bother looking up stuff like that as it doesn't make me enjoy the music any better. And that is why it is foolish for any regular fan to post anything about Freddie or Queen on this thread. It just gets thrown back in their face. I said that the other day and here is an example of it. Most people are too busy for the trivia! I love Queen's music and I love QAL and that is all I need to know. I am a happy camper unlike some of the complainers on here. They certainly don't sound like happy campers! Sometimes knowing too much ruins things for people.
