That’s the question. Especially with all the hate, that the collaboration keeps getting in this forum. I don’t see that anywhere else, but here and on Facebook. My friends from the music industry salute QAL. The reviews by the press are almost always very positive. The shows sell very well for years and fans keep coming back. What is it, that makes Q+AL successful? The music is very similar to Q+PR. |
Iron Butterfly 11.12.2018 21:48 |
Social media and better promontion. In the early days of Q+PR social media was in it's infancy. Q+AL has toured longer and more often than Q+PR. ( That said, and just to be clear, that doesn't mean I think Q+AL is better than Q+PR. ) |

PR was quite good (even when he forgot the lyrics or stopped singing.) He certainly had the street cred that got him past a lot of fan resistance. However, it wasn't a great match. I think it was killing his voice by the end. I do think he was the type of musician that worked well, and I fear there won't be a load of new songs from this pairing (though I've been pleasantly surprised by a couple of the Queen-ed up AL songs I've heard.) Beyond that, there's something -- I'm not sure -- something different and yet familiar in the AL combo. It does feel like the guys like him a lot, which is nice. I'm very new to Q+AL, and I resisted greatly, but then I heard a medley on someone else's car stereo. I was shocked to learn it was AL. I then went and listened -- really listened to recent Q+AL concerts. My heart warmed instantly. There's a spirit there. He's making the songs his own, but he's not changing original keys (at least not often) and he's staying faithful to much of the contours from the Freddie era. I honestly feel he's done a great job with a seriously rough situation. I feel like if 1) he wasn't from the US, 2) wasn't from a talent TV show and 3) had worked his way to this situation some other way (god knows how that would've happened -- it wouldn't and we wouldn't have live Queen shows now) he'd face far less resistance. His stage banter makes me cringe sometimes, but his singing rarely does. He colors his own color, but within the Queen lines - a nice situation. Also as a fan from the 70s, I really love the way there's a whole new generation or two or three finding this music. Now if only they'd change up the shows a bit from night to night... |

Well maybe because he’s gay. |
runner_70 12.12.2018 05:38 |
QPR was at least credible. In Europe it was successful on the same level. Americans always had bad taste so seeing QAL being a success does not surprise at all. Btw who gives a shit? Spice Girls sell out Wembley 5 times. Are they musical geniuses? No. Even though i would rather go seeing the Spice Girls instead of the annoying tool with the woman's screeching voice doing Queen Karaoke |

Now if only they'd change up the shows a bit from night to night...I'd agree pretty much with all of that. I also think the fact they had to mix quite a bit of Paul's music in the shows since there were various Queen songs his voice either wouldn't suit or he didn't have the range for probably made it too different from a Queen show for some unless they happened to be a Free/Bad Company fan as well. He has a great voice but it's more bluesy rock. |

As far as i a remember it was billed as "Queen plus PR" and as PR has an amazing back catalogue it was only logical to play his songs. It was expected. QAL is also billed as "plus" but as the annoying tool has nothing to offer besides musical crimes like Two Fux or Lucy Maylor try so sell this westend cabaret fronted by a tranny as full Queen show. Which is utterly ridiculous. QPR had equal if not more success in Europe. In cologne QPR played in front of 25000 ppl in the stadium there while QAL played in front of embarrassing 15000. In Europe noone gives a shit about lamberace. The ppl would come even if Kermit fronted them. Kermit would be a better choice than Lamebird |

I can’t find a link for it but I was just playing a video in a tweet showing a TV station interview with Neil Fairclough, bass player for QAL. He was describing how Adam works in rehearsals while learning something new, maybe holding back 50%. And how then he gives 100% in every performance and how their jaws drop open in awe with what he does on that stage! Final word from Neil: “he’s a good lad!” |

Like I said some may have liked Paul's stuff but to me it just seems odd mixing the two together. Equally I wouldn't want Adam's music mixed in I prefer it to be all Queen stuff. They offered to include more of Adam's music but he said no so he clearly thinks the same. And regardless what you think the QPR shows were 72% sold out to 94% for QAL. |

Paul Rodgers was very limited for Queen catalog, the set list for queen songs was not justice but for Rodgers catalog Brian and Roger were perfect. Bad company and Feel like Makin love were great,. Paul could never dream such great renditions. Overall a boring compo, while with Adam the show is by far better. I think Queen lost momentum in 2005 - 2008, there was a big buzz around them during 2002-2004. Moreover the anthologies were postponed for 2009 during that period of time. It was in Queen news in 2006 |
The Fairy King 12.12.2018 14:30 |
Because Adam is a better fit for Queen and Rodgers clearly wasn't. |

I also think the fact they had to mix quite a bit of Paul's music in the shows since there were various Queen songs his voice either wouldn't suit or he didn't have the range for probably made it too different from a Queen show for some unless they happened to be a Free/Bad Company fan as well. He has a great voice but it's more bluesy rock.Paul originally wanted to do full shows with only Queen music in it. It was Brian and Roger's idea to include some of his. |

Because there are much more opportunities now for every idiot with a camera phone to photograph themselves at an "event" and thereby "prove" to the world via social media that they are happy successful people and not vacuous idiots. The same kind of people that forced Its Late and Spread Your Wings off the setlist because they're too fucking shallow to listen to anything except greatest hits. ... and breathe. |

How did people FORCE It’s Late and Spread Your Wings off of the set list? |

That’s BS. And which show were you at where you saw people going out for a beer? When I was there the show moved so quickly it took your breath away and there was no time to leave your seat let alone get to a refreshment stand. |

SweetCaroline wrote: How did people FORCE It’s Late and Spread Your Wings off of the set list?Easy. Because most bands don't want to look at blank faces not knowing the songs. They dropped the tunes in 1980 for the same reason they dropped them now - because they're a hits band, not an albums band. At that time they realized their audience was changing, and came to the realization that endures until now, that most people don't know the album tracks. Greatest Hits went 8x platinum in the US, while their next best selling albums are NOTW and The Game at 4x platinum each. In the UK, Greatest Hits went 20x platinum, while the next best selling album is Made In Heaven at 4x platinum. This is why 90% of their setlist is hits. They're not going to play too many tunes that half the audience doesn't know. |
SweetCaroline 12.12.2018 19:29 |
But at the shows in NA where those two songs were included, they were performed beautifully and had an excellent response from the audience. So I don’t know why they were dropped and I was disappointed they were gone when they got to my venue near the end of July. |

It’s unusual, that there are so many different kinds of fans, waiting very early. There are all these older rock guys (and a few women), then all the younger fans in the twenties and thirties. All sitting and standing there for hours. (I mean, I had been there rather late. Some Glamberts had been there since 6am.) I talked to many fans in front of and in the venue. In front of me were two male Queen fans in their 60s, who travelled 8 hours to the venue. They told us, that they do one concert at every tour since 1975. And every time one of them buys a T-Shirt and wears it at the next concert. :) Behind us in the venue we’re these two very young Brian fans, of about 20 years. I‘m still laughing about the girl. It was so funny: When Brian‘s guitar tech placed his guitars beside the catwalk to the B-stage in front of us, she said out of pure joy: „I want to lick the strings!!“ My friend and I exchanged a disgusted look, but smiled away. Believe me: That girl was screaming very wildly, everytime Brian came close. At some time it really got annoying, because my ears kept ringing. :D All the fighting, that you can read on this forum, simply didn‘t exist at the concerts, I attended. It’s such a great coming together of all kinds of fans! The Queen fans are happily giving high fives to Adam. The Glamberts are wholeheartedly singing Love of my Life with Brian. |

In the whole scheme, there are very few people, who feel like you. I know „real“ Queen fans. I live with two, I met others, I talked for hours to them. And you know what: All these Queen fans are very different in their views. But none was as thickheaded and ignorant as you. You are a Queen fan, who acts like a toddler, who doesn’t get enough attention, while he’s throwing a tantrum. So he cries louder and louder on every thread. Thankfully most Queen fans are sensible music enthusiasts. I actually feel pity for you. A grown up man feels the need to post all that negativity, often insulting, post after post on this thread (and others). You must be obsessed with your view of the topic and that so many fans simply don‘t share it. You will never be able to turn back the clock. You should be old enough to understand and accept, that other people have different opinions. I‘m happy about QAL. And nothing you post here will change that. I will from now on go back to ignore your comments. Good night. And sorry , that I‘m happy! :D |

I'm old enough to have seen the original Queen live a couple of times and before I go on I want to make one thing perfectly clear, Paul Rodgers is a rock legend. However, having said that, Adam Lambert is a much better fit. Rodgers was not the best fit for the band and a lot of his vocals had to be tuned down and the album they put out was a disaster. Lambert's voice and personality suits Queen much better |

I don't know why Brian and Roger really want to carry on touring,it can't possibly be for the money they are both absolutely minted.i went to see Queen with AL at Birmingham ,the arena is a pig to get to in the middle of Birmingham.I was embarrsed by what I saw,quite frankly it was awfull.I bought Queen 1 when I was 10 years old and fell in love with the band.I went with a friend who thought it was great ,it made things worse.Brian and Roger have made a real balls up of things since the passing of Freddie.The reason QPR folded was tension between Paul and Brian. |
labijou 13.12.2018 18:17 |
Probably because of AL's on-stage personality which has more energetic-queer vibe compares to PR's, it suites Queen's songs more |

I don't doubt that for a second. Now, why the tour with AL, for years some people have labelled AL as the next Mercury, Bowie etc. I remember reading such things even on AL's Idol days. I didn't think of AL as that back then, nor do I think it now, just for the record. AL had a following from Idol, which the show was a pretty big deal in the States for at least a few years. I think AL was more easily moldable than someone like PR who was been in the music business for years. |
snifflese 13.12.2018 21:27 |
I don't think how long you have been in business or how old you are necessarily means you are more moldable. Adam is pretty stubborn from all I have read and some of his gaffes have come from the fact that he doesn't allow people to dictate to him It might have been better in hindsight had he listened, but that is water under the bridge. He has walked away from record labels because he was not going to do what they wanted. He also wasn't a kid when he started touringwith Queen in 2014. He was already 32 and been in the music business in many different ways since he was 18. I think he is a person who know what he wants, doesn't compromise, but is pleasant and easy to get along with, although you would think it wasn't true, since he has his own opinions. But apparently he disagrees in a cordial way and doesn't burn any bridges. |

Adam is pretty stubborn from all I have read and some of his gaffes have come from the fact that he doesn't allow people to dictate to him It might have been better in hindsight had he listened, but that is water under the bridge. He has walked away from record labels because he was not going to do what they wanted. He also wasn't a kid when he started touringwith Queen in 2014. He was already 32 and been in the music business in many different ways since he was 18. I think he is a person who know what he wants, doesn't compromise, but is pleasant and easy to get along with, although you would think it wasn't true, since he has his own opinions. But apparently he disagrees in a cordial way and doesn't burn any bridges.Yep that pretty much sums up what I see of him, he's good at being assertive without being aggressive and although he's respectful I really couldn't see him being any kind of pushover. He's frequently said they've been collaborative with him from the start and have given him a lot of freedom. No idea what went wrong with the collab with Paul, maybe their personalities just didn't gel long term and they all just found it hard to spend so much time together on the road. |

Re: moldable etc., all we've been hearing here is that Lambert's albums aren't good because of all the compromises he has to make to suit his record company. But now that's wrong and in fact he isn't "moldable" but is instead a single-minded artiste who is willing to defend his art at the expense of his career. So which one is it ? ;) |

That said he dug his heels in on various points with his first label and ended up walking away when they tried insisting on him doing a new wave covers album so I'd say that's pretty single minded considering he didn't have a new label lined up.

As far as the American tours go, it must be gratifying for Brian and Roger that they are actually playing to crowds equal to( and actually exceeding) the size of the ones at their commercial zenith in 1980. For how far they fell here in popularity during the 1980's to early 1990's this resurgence is quote remarkable. Most bands from Queen's era need to do double headliner bills(sometimes triple) to sell the amount of tickets QAL are here in the States. |

I personally don't think he's that dumb. He's honest enough to talk about all sorts of things even when they aren't very flattering to him so why would that be any different. As to covers he hasn't had new music out recently but he confirmed in an interview two days ago he's gonna be releasing it next year, he was the one who brought the subject up they didn't ask and he's said it numerous times in the last couple of weeks so I've no reason to doubt him. Course he's gonna carry on doing Queen as well, Bri & Roger clearly want to carry on so why wouldn't he. You're dreaming if you think his career won't be ok once he stops the collab with them, he gets asked to do all sorts of things unrelated to Queen and that's not gonna change afterwards in fact he'll have more free time to pursue other things. |

I saw his new song on the Voice and I don't know if it was the same one that he sang on Strictly, but it was really slow. I don't think I would be running out and getting it. It was even slower than an old crooner song which really surprised me. Perhaps it was because the other artists were singing fast, beat driven, catchy songs (which I also didn't much like!), but I found it really dull and I don't usually feel that way when I see him on his Christmas shows. |

Icy, you are missing the point. In your post on page 6, you act as if there is nothing wrong with singing covers. It is fine if Buble does it, but you always sound critical when Adam sings covers and you make a point of bringing it up more often than not. If it is OK to sing covers, as in the case of Buble and others, why is it a problem if Adam sings covers? There are many things that are fine for other artists to do, according to you, but you will then turn around and criticize Adam for doing the same thing. I think that is what Caroline was pointing out and you do that. |

You may think he's a replacement but he and the band don't view it that way, that's why they make a point of calling it +, a collaboration between them.

I am not sure there is anything that would be totally new. Tons of people wear leather performing and it is esp. prevalent with rock groups. I have seen Dickinson, Priest, and other current singers performing in leather. Freddie's leather doesn't look much like Adam's and Adam has had so many different leather ensembles. Every one is different, but I am glad Adam has not shown up in sparkling onesies, leotards and ballet slippers. IMO that would be a little much!! |

But to say they are copying someone is silly, since everyone is copying someone else. Clothes are clothes for the most part.

I actually think in general Adam's choice of attire is really spot on. There are only a few really awful things, like a poncho comes to mind. He is often on the best dressed lists for events and he cleans up really nice. His outfits for the concerts are themed and kind of flow throughout the course of the concert and he pairs with Brian often. What new and innovative idea would you have for a photo shoot, Icy? Sure it has been done before, what hasn't been? I know Freddie is the best, the most original and never did anything anyone else did. Every idea was new and innovative. Give me a break! Some of the stuff definitely wan't fashionable, but YMMV. Really who cares? It should be about the music. Who cares what they wore? |

Mind boggling anyone would say that since AL has said himself how influenced he is by Freddie. You are right. It should be about the music. Hell, when I watch Freddie what he wore is the last thing that crosses my mind. Or anyone else for that matter. Freddie was Freddie, and I admit some of his fashion choices and statements weren't so good. Again, I don't like at all the leather look he had n the late 70s. But he matured in his later years, take the Magic Tour with the jeans and more 'relaxed' look. After that, Freddie wore suits at times, example Barcelona. People evolve. Freddie sure did. He made and left his mark in many ways, I don't think sweetcaroline realises it. |
snifflese 17.12.2018 02:00 |
Yes, Freddie did evolve and he set the standard that others aspire to, that is for sure! I do think while Adam doesn't want to be a Freddie clone, he is certainly cognizant of what Freddie did and how he did it. I remember him saying how often he listened to certain songs, to get the feel of it, to see if he could figure out what Freddie meant and then to translate it to his own style, but always remembering the original intent. He doesn't want to step on any toes and be respectful. I honestly believe that. I think he tries to do a really good job that represents Queen and Freddie well and is always respectful to their legacy. As far as leather goes, I didn't really like that one leather crazy outfit with spikes and a cup, if you know what I mean! That one was a little cringe worthy with Adam. It was definitely out there!! I just chuckled to myself!! |

It is kind of hard to ignore a journalist, reporter or whoever they are when they badger you for a statement. I believe he referenced what he heard from Brian and Roger. I din't really find that he said a whole lot or anything that would have been taken amiss. It was a pretty bland statement, especially when Adam is pretty forthright about his sexuality. People today are a little more forthright than previous generations and I think he answered based on what he was told. I think it would have looked weird had he said no comment. It was one or two comments around the time of the biopic being a big point of discussion, right? And whether or not Freddie's sexuality was depicted the way it should have been in the movie? I might be mistaken, but I thought it was then. Personally, I find it refreshing that Brian and Roger didn't want to make a spectacle of the sexual business and the partying, etc. It seems that is all the critics wanted to talk about and the movie was critiqued terribly by those people. Apparently the general public didn't need details, since it has done so well. Critics are terrible people, always looking for the scandalous, that most of us can just do without. Good for Brian and Roger sticking to their vision! Often if the critics like it, I don't and you see that so often when you compare the critical review to the general public's. |

Thing is, AL has stated that he didn't know how in or out of the closet Freddie was. Then soon after that he said Freddie was bisexual. Like why even bring it up at all, AL could have chosen not to answer questions like that. I absolutely understand why AL would speak about his own sexuality. More power to him, and I mean that genuinely. I still don't think it was his place to speak about Freddie's. |

All I can say is it is hard to evade questions when you are being interviewed. I am sure he would never have brought it up on his own and I assume he was repeating what he heard from the guys. |

Nowadays no one evades questions anymore other than in court, it seems. I truly haven't seen a celebrity say that they won't answer something. It would have looked weirder if he hadn't answered. He wasn't revealing any state secrets and most people don't care at this point. Not sure why it bothers you so much. People may never really know what his true sexual nature was and can only guess. Personally, I could care less what someone's orientation is, whatever makes them happy. |

My guess for the OP comes down to this: PAUL IS OLD he attracts an older crowd ADAM is fake flamboyantly gay and attracts both old (housewives/ grandma's) and younger crowd (gay guys/teen girls) It's a demographic. 2. They have stayed together longer and don't bother writing new material 3. PAUL is a rock God, many songs would've been left off for sake of rock and roll 4. PAUL sings his extra syllables IN BETWEEN THE WORD, while ADAM throws his extra syllables AFTER THE WORDS i.e. PAUL: "we're just waiting for the haa'aameer to Faa-ee-a-ahh-ah-ooh-uh uhhalll alll" (*IMPLIED uhh/yeah) ADAM: "I want to ride my bicycle'eeayyahhhaaaYYYYAaaUYYYIIIAALLLLALLLLAAAAALLLLLOOHAAAAIIIiiieeee" *(ADDED "yeah-ey-yeah-eeee-iiii-ii-ay-eyy-ieee-ay-ay-yay!" Little things. But that's my guess. |

Seems much more like a stupid one!!! The difference is that Adam is entertaining and Paul is dull as dishwater and can't sing the entire catalog the way Freddie would have done it. I don't want to hear something that just doesn't sound like Queen. Adam sings in all the original key signatures, which even Freddie didn't do. They were that way on their albums, but not necessarily at their concerts. Could not believe how Freddie sounded singing Killer Queen in a you tube from a concert, nothing like what I had always heard on the albums. Adam can do that every time. He has some talents as a vocalist that maybe Freddie didn't have. Brian has said as much on several occasions. He is actually a musician with a musicians ear and he has worked for years with both Adam and Freddie. You can't just dismiss what he says like most of you do. He knows a lot more than any of the posters here. Brian is not as bad as some of you would like to think after reading some of your mean comments. Adam has many, many talents, just different from Freddie, but similar enough to make it work. And that is what works, putting your own stamp on the original, but keeping it close enough to the original. That is a tricky line to navigate and Adam does it splendidly. |

He sings rock songs like Celine Dion. Fred singing KQ live is closer to the album version than Lambert singing KQ because he wrote the song and performed it on the album. That's a very obvious point that shouldn't need to be made but like sweatcaroline you think Lambert is better at everything than everyone else, including the legendary Freddie Mercury. In fact, of course, Lambert has done nothing comparable to Fred. The movie everyone is talking about right now is called Bohemian Rhapsody and it's about the life of the legendary Freddie Mercury. Think about that. Bohemian Rhapsody & Freddie Mercury vs Two Fux, talent show runner up, Adam Lambert. Legend vs hired hand. Original vs imitator. Moet & Chandon vs Tennents Super. Lobster vs cheeseburger. |

That is your opinion. If you saw him live, his voice is not thin. It is like an operatic tenor and he has can fill the arena with sound and it doesn't sound thin or weak. It is resonant and fills the venue, no matter how large. You and Icy and runner can all have quite the love fest with your Freddie obsession! There are things that Adam can do with his voice that Freddie couldn't and vice versa. Freddie wasn't musically perfect, no matter what you think. No one is ever. I am not talking about Adam's music, which isn't near the standard of Queen's music. That is why I prefer Adam singing Queen. But his vocals, his singing ability has nothing to do with his own music. I am talking Vocals, not writing not anything else, just pure vocals. |

You are deluded. This is what happens when someone tries to discuss something rationally. I am trying to get back at someone who attacked Lambert? Give me a break, that is the stupidest rationale I have ever heard and that fits right into what I originally said about the Freddie obsessed individuals on here who can't admit that there might be something not perfect about Freddie and that no one else can ever sing Queen music's well, but him. I listen to a lot of opera and classical and I know when a voice is excellent, so don't tell me anything and if I don't like PR, that is my opinion and I am entitled to it. I prefer a different kind of voice and it has nothing to do with reality shows. Nobody but you people here care about where an artist is discovered. I don't give a rat's patootie and I don't think most rationale people care, either. Most of the reality people never take off, or are long gone and here is Adam still swinging after 10 years. So, don't get on your high horse with me, Mister. Sorry I hurt your ittty bitty sensibilities, you are obviously the child! |

Me thinks this is a case of the pot calling the kettle black.

Not everyone else is that obsessed and rigid. Some of us can enjoy other singers. If you can't, no problem, until you start denigrating other singers, in particular Adam, just because they are not Freddie. Adam is too good and too similar in many ways to Freddie and that is the part you don't like. You don't care if PR covers Queen, because no way does he measure up. You don't like the accolades that QAL gets and think it detracts from Freddie, which is ridiculous, because Queen is not QAL. |

Truth is you don't want rational, interesting conversation otherwise you would have added some to the forum by now, Everything you say is boring and unoriginal.

Adam could do things that Freddie could not? And that would be what you sad nutter??? And WTF should I believe anything Brian says?? He wants to sell his bullshit Queen vision. He says Lameturd is a "gift from god" as he says they did not tour before Live Aid - both utter crap and first signs of beginning alzheimer or Brian trying to justify his sad actions he did for the last 20 years. Why you stupid fuck do you think that he is selling ANYTHING and EVERYTHING with "Freddie would have loved it/him"???? Surely not because he thinks that Lamebert is on par with Freddie. Just to justify this mess. WHhiich other rockband of QUeen's status has ever collaborated with such a no talent karaoke talent show hack and keep trying to sell him as if he was credible in any form?? Name me One!!! You wont find any. It is completely laughable and cringeworthy. If they called this crap "May Taylor & Lameturd" they would play small theaters - so they label it as "QUEEN Plus or minus" and big it up with "Freddie would have loved it" . Absolutely shocking, dreadful and respectless. They spit on Freddie's grave. |

This is a QAL THREAD, so Freddie may not be the main focus, nor should he be. Every other thread on this forum is for Queen and Freddie. Leave the people here alone unless you can post in a reasonable, grown up manner and not be offended if someone says they don't think Freddie can do everything Adam can with his voice. Technically he is hands down better, as he is a trained singer and not a baritone learning to sing on his own in the higher ranges. Each of them sounds better in certain songs, depending on the range of the song. It also depends on whether a person prefers tenors or the lower ranges. YMMV. But it is all open to discussion. You guys will not let people discuss even when it is not a comparison to Freddie. You jump right in with name calling and juvenile, ugly behavior. SO, why would I want to go a Queen thread where you rip apart anyone trying to do anything buy pay homage to Freddie? You have got to be kidding me. It is too bad that this QAL thread is always hijacked by you people who won't allow a discussion of Adam and Queen. Anything said is just bigging up, which is the stupidest remark ever!

You could have posted something on the 24th of November in tribute to the guy... You didn't. You copied and pasted a Brian post. You couldn't be bothered to post your own thoughts. Then you had a go at me 'asking' what I posted on the date. A hell of a lot more than you do every year on the 24th, that's for sure. You could have waited a day or two after the 24th to post that promoting video of AL. But noooo, you didn't, even manage that and that you tried to say it was a tribute for Freddie. Sorry, you fooled no one with that. If you liked or had any respect for him, Freddie, you never would have stated Freddie had sex with every gay man on the planet. See, you are no better than Runner, actually you are worse since you slag Freddie off. If you were a Freddie fan you would know, yes he had fashion sense, yes even compared to AL, even with the fact you don't like what Freddie wore,, and have clutched your pearls about what he wore and did. As if you are a Freddie or Queen fan at all. You aren't. Thanks for making that even more obvious than ever before lately. And you have the gall to tell others to STFU, shut up. Oh the irony. You sure as hell have no respect or common sense regarding Freddie. That's the truth. |

And you are the most maddening person on the Internet because, like Trump, you never shut up and think everyone is insulting you and you must have the last word. It is all about you and you go on and on and on and on like a fucking broken record! I don’t hate Freddie but after all of these years of your non-stop nonsense, I’m pretty sure I hate you. |

You have shit stirred for years, spammed, trolled, woe is you, you who is never wrong as you like to claim. You are pretty sure you hate me. Alrighty then. I don't even hate you. Your true colors show at times, and this is one, as well as the other crap you the at me from earlier today and now this one. After saying I'm like Trump, after you saying as if I'm Hitler earlier today, and now you say you are pretty sure you hate me, and you say I'm pathetic So much for you being positive. Of course, you never fooled anyone with that, only yourself by the looks of it. I hope everyone else here can see your hate, bitterness, spite, and the agenda you have about me. |

There are things that Adam can do with his voice that Freddie couldn't and vice versa. Freddie wasn't musically perfect, no matter what you think. No one is ever. I am not talking about Adam's music, which isn't near the standard of Queen's music. That is why I prefer Adam singing Queen. But his vocals, his singing ability has nothing to do with his own music. I am talking Vocals, not writing not anything else, just pure vocals.You obviously will never be involved with the music industry if you don't think Adam's voice is thin when he's singing. |

Yep, that's just two of the things she's said about me in the last few hours. Queen boards aren't the place for her given the fact she lashes out like that. Obviously she pretty much hates me.

Icy, your rambles and crazy attacks would drive anyone to drink! You go on and on and on saying the same thing for months and you always attack and see what will stick. Your obsession with Caroline is just as bad as the Freddie obsession. Everything revolves around him. For most people none of the things you hold as the holy grail are important. They probably have never thought about them. It is enough to go and see this band, and be interested in the music now, support the concerts and see the movie. You do none of those, so I am not sure how you can be such a great supporter. You just criticize till the cows come home. You are a stalker, as she can't post anything without you being right there. Go pick on someone else. Pick on runner and some of the stupid stuff he says. But since you secretly agree with that faction, you have no issues with them. To me that is quite telling. You are also a hater who is just here to stir the pot. |

What's the matter, you want to deflect on me cause your buddy lost her shit here in the last day or so. I'm not the first nor will I be the last to repeat myself, you sure do enough of it. I have had valid reasons why I couldn't attend Q+AL shows. I have explained that each and every time. My dad took sick and was diagnosed with stage four terminal cancer when the movie was released, all the money I had went to expenses of visiting him. So fuck you for thinking I'm not a great supporter. What the fuck are you then, when the mere mention of Freddie clearly bothers you? Jealous Freddie is discussed more than AL? Message boards are for replying to posts in case you didn't notice. Funny that you call me a stalker, when at least three times after sweetcaroline has been banned she came here very upset because she was banned, and she blamed me each and every time. But no, I'm not a stalker. You might want to explain that to your friend who has come across personal pics of AL with his family, and posts about them on Queen boards. That's the definition of someone who has no boundaries or even common sense. Oh because I don't say anything to Runner that must mean I agree with what he says? Does that go for you and sweetcaroline, because you never call her out on her bullshit...but of course I have known ever since you came here you have no problem with what sweetcaroline says, even when she says she pretty much hates me, and as if I'm like Trump and Hitler....amazing what you choose to ignore what she does. It's not my views that she hates, or even how I post my views, but she pretty much hates me as stated a few posts ago. Your friend has big issues frankly, it's worrisome. But of course what she says about me is more than ok with you, because no matter what she says about me, you have no issue with it, and you defend it, and try to turn the tables on me, every time. You are a big hypocrite calling me a hater and and a shit stirrer given the fact you came here wanting me banned from both Queen boards a year ago, while trying to defend sweetcaroline and you wanted more people to join the side you are on. You and sweetcaroline are something else. You both aren't even Queen fans. You both are posting here only because you can't get away with stuff on QOL, plus you gotta big up and promote AL on Queen boards. Seriously, you don't even understand why Freddie is discussed on a Queen board. You way or nothing at all. That tells me everything I need to know about your sense of entitlement. |

I don't think you actually realise what Brian and Roger have done for the guy, cause I doubt he would have lasted without them, playing in the venues that he is Brian and Roger. AL is going to be like Tony Bennett...are you sure about that? No one can tell the future. But I will say this, it's gonna be tough for AL once Q+AL ends. It's tough for him right now without a record company. You seriously think he is going to be like Tony Bennett...there you go comparing AL to others sngers again who are like apples and oranges compared again. I can't see AL doing the genres Bennett has done...let alone how long Bennett has been doing it. |

We will never know, will we, but of course, you choose to think that he would be gone and done. I am sure you are secretly hoping he crashes and burns so you can say I told you so. You have a lot of nerve to ever say you like Adam, which you often do. I assume he would have gone to Broadway or done something musical. A voice like that is never going away. There will be lots of opportunities for him. He is singing a song in a movie and doing the voice for a character. Adam will be around a long time. I would bet on it. |

Hell, he's without a record company right now. Do I hope he crashes and burns, hell no, I've never said anything remotely like that. Thing is, you cannot tell the future. No one can. You really shouldn't gloat or even that AL will be around for a long time, simply because anything can happen. The world suddenly lost Bowie and George Michael so suddenly in recent years after all. You say I have nerve. You have nerve of not even liking Freddie's name being mentioned on a board that is here because of his and Queen's music. You have nerve coming here to big up AL as if he's a saviour for Brian and Roger. |

AL has a decade, in huge part due to touring with Brian and Roger, Bennett has decades in the business. Your comparsion here makes no sense, come back to me in 50 years... if AL is still in the business. Adam is going to be here plodding along in his 80s, you say as if you can tell the future. You can't tell the future. It's one thing to hope AL will still be around in his 80s, but you try to make it seem as if it's a fact he will be. |

Do not even try to pretend you like anything about Adam and QAL. It is in every comment and nasty snide remark that you make. He hangs on the coattails of Brian and Roger; he doesn't write music and isn't a musician; he is a pop singer, not a rock singer; he does covers; he talks about Freddie's sexuality; he is wooden, doesn't move well on stage; his banter is cringe worthy as is Killer Queen and the bicycle and the crown; his attire isn't new and cutting edge like Freddie's, his last photo shoot was a copy cat; he over sings. and he might have worn real fur (the horrors of that!!). That is just for starters, so what is it exactly that you like, because it sure doesn't seem like anything to me. Then you are always hoping he doesn't get a chance for some publicity and wanting to know why he should be at a debut or the Kennedy Center or anything of that nature. You are so negative, it isn't even funny!! I can't stand Runner and his ilk, but in some ways, you are worse. You pretend that you like him and then everything out of out mouth is hateful. You might ask Brian and Roger about being a savior. I believe Brian's term was a "Gift from God". He never expected to be able to play to huge crowds and enjoy touring again and now with Adam it is possible. Roger has said the same thing! You are deluded if you think any other singer could have the outcome Adam has had with Brian and Roger. There is no one with Adam's range and ability to sing the whole catalog competently and with the swagger and charisma to carry it off. And the fact that the other guys love him and love touring with him, as they all just click! Check with Brian and Roger before you call me out on bigging Adam up for being a savior ( a word I have never used).. They have said the same thing just in different words. You hate their success so much that you can't see straight, otherwise you wouldn't carry on as you do .No, I can't tell the future, but I believe the stars are aligned for Adam. You can hope it doesn't, which I am sure you do. No matter what Adam's path is, it has nothing to do with Freddie, so I don't understand why you take all of this so personally and as such an affront to Freddie. He is probably sitting up in heaven wondering what is wrong with you because I don't think Freddie was a hateful man. I bet he and Adam would have enjoyed each other immensely. |

I don't think song writing is his strongest point. Is that offensive to you? I've said nothing about if AL is a real musiain or not. Clearly you are getting me mixed up with someone else. Actually stop right there, cause you are getting me mixed up with someone else from elsewhere. I haven't said anything in ages about AL being wooden. Go to QOL and take it up with that person over there. I don't think it was AL's place to talk about Freddie's sexuality. Is that offensive to you. How long has this been bubbling inside you? Rant and rage on dear. It seems you want everyone to like everything to do with AL. You can't handle the slightest criticism about the guy. I don't hate AL. I don't even hate Q+AL. I don't think it was or is the only thing keeping Freddie's and Queen's music alive. Quite simply, the music has never died out. So now you say Freddie would be up in heaven wondering what is wrong with me??? Please don't even try to speak for the guy, especially like this. You are losing your shit today it seems. Your buddy sweetcaroline lost her shit here yesterday saying as if I'm like Hitler and Trump, and she pretty much hates me, and you today trying to speak for Freddie and assuming how he would feel about me and AL.

Who has this major ax to grind about me and anyone else that you don't like? Holly is a good example of someone you have your sights lately because you don't like what Holly posts. You go for anyone who doesn't post the way you want and need. I can answer kindly, but it depends on how I'm treated. Would you want it to be stated as if you are like Trump, Hitler and that someone pretty much hates you? I doubt it. You don't even like me saying AL rides on Brian's and Rogers coattails. You have read my posts for 9 years as you claim, if true you had your mind obviously was made up even before interacting with me which is how you jump to your conclusions.

Because I have read her mean posts on QOL and here for years and she always vilifies people, esp Caroline, who for some reason just gets her goat. Well, too bad, Caroline is allowed to post her things her just like Icy does. At the very least Caroline is not mean like Icy and she should be allowed to post what she would like in a thread for QAL. After so many years it just rubs me the wrong way about Icy. If Caroline was banned from QOL, where they also always fight, I am sure it had to do with Icy and they both should have been banned. It was my honest assessment of the situation. I was just pointing it out since everything devolves into fights here, too. Get Icy to stop criticizing and going on her copy and paste rants where she throws the same ridiculous accusations at Caroline over and over and over and maybe we would have some peace around her. Aren't you the clever one with the cheese! Kids are funnier than that. Your behavior is really sad for an adult. Making fun of people is never cool, just shows how dumb your criticisms are. I have always been a Queen fan since they came out in the 1970's. I have bought their albums all that time and love them. But I do not worship at the altar of Freddie. Brian was and is my favorite and Freddie as a front man was always too in my face. His style didn't appeal to me all that much and he never sounded like the recorded music. I preferred to listen to the music. To each his own!! I am entitled to my opinion. I love heavy metal, rock, so it is not the music. I have seen ACDC, Judas Priest, Sabbath, and others and Iron Maiden is right up their with Queen for me. I prefer higher voices and as I said, Freddie is really great, but not my personal fav. I would take Dickenson with his voice over Freddie any day. Every fan has a different favorite. I have seen Maiden numerous times and love them. For me it is more about the voice and I prefer who I prefer. |
Holly2003 20.12.2018 14:26 |
I recall mentioning a number 1970s Queen tracks to you and you had never heard of them. Why do you lie? |
snifflese 20.12.2018 14:55 |
I have never had a conversation with you about any music and truthfully, having the albums that I bought in the 1970s doesn't mean that I remember individual songs. I couldn't tell you all the songs from Iron Maiden, but I recognize most of them when I hear them. I had other things in my life going on and didn't have time to remember every single song a band puts out. There is no reason for me to lie. That is another thing everyone hear throws out. If you are not an Uberfan, there are way too many to remember and I haven't memorized things that are not right up there at the top of my list like my profession, my family, etc. There are plenty of things I have forgotten at my age, but memorizing songs from albums was something I doubt I ever committed to memory at any point. It wasn't that important. I like their music, I bouight their albums and that was the end of it. I have read thousands and thousands of books in my life, but half of them I couldn't recall. Same difference! |

If Caroline was banned from QOL, where they also always fight, I am sure it had to do with Icy and they both should have been banned. It was my honest assessment of the situation. I was just pointing it out since everything devolves into fights here, too. Get Icy to stop criticizing and going on her copy and paste rants where she throws the same ridiculous accusations at Caroline over and over and over and maybe we would have some peace around her. Aren't you the clever one with the cheese! Kids are funnier than that. Your behavior is really sad for an adult. Making fun of people is never cool, just shows how dumb your criticisms are. I have always been a Queen fan since they came out in the 1970's. I have bought their albums all that time and love them. But I do not worship at the altar of Freddie. Brian was and is my favorite and Freddie as a front man was always too in my face. His style didn't appeal to me all that much and he never sounded like the recorded music. I preferred to listen to the music. To each his own!! I am entitled to my opinion. I love heavy metal, rock, so it is not the music. I have seen ACDC, Judas Priest, Sabbath, and others and Iron Maiden is right up their with Queen for me. I prefer higher voices and as I said, Freddie is really great, but not my personal fav. I would take Dickenson with his voice over Freddie any day. Every fan has a different favorite. I have seen Maiden numerous times and love them. For me it is more about the voice and I prefer who I prefer.You pathetic freak are no Queen fan. There is not a single Queen fan who says "Freddie is too much in your face". And you disqualified yourself as Maiden Fan when you call their singer "Dickenson". Try again loser. You are a sad fan of Karaoke twats and have no clue when it comes to rock music at all. It shows in every single posting of you. Clueless and tasteless. AS your Lamebert friends |

I couldn't tell you all the songs from Iron Maiden, but I recognize most of them when I hear them. I had other things in my life going on and didn't have time to remember every single song a band puts out. There is no reason for me to lie. That is another thing everyone hear throws out. If you are not an Uberfan, there are way too many to remember and I haven't memorized things that are not right up there at the top of my list like my profession, my family, etc. There are plenty of things I have forgotten at my age, but memorizing songs from albums was something I doubt I ever committed to memory at any point. It wasn't that important. I like their music, I bouight their albums and that was the end of it. I have read thousands and thousands of books in my life, but half of them I couldn't recall. Same difference!Just plain proof that you dont give a shit about music at all. you maybe turn on the radio and when Lameturd comes you turn it louder. That's as far as your musical Knowledge goes. I doubt you have a single QUeen or Maiden album. |

You wanted me banned from both Queen boards, nothing about sweetcaroline being banned at all. That's why you came here and to defend sweetcaroline, and of course to promote AL here. I'm sure it was you who sent out the 'red alert' on Adamtopia a year or so ago. You wanted more Glamberts from Adamtopia to join your side, you to take your side...you also wanted a person to come here from QOL to join your side. That's how vindictive you are about me. You can say whatever the hell you want about me, but at least I can fight my own battles. At least I can stand up for myself. You have read my posts for 9 years. I'm sure that's another lie coming from you. You can't even keep track of what I post these days straight, so I doubt you were reading my posts then. If you were go back and find what I was talking about this time 9 years ago, go right ahead. Frankly, you are full of three things, bitterness, jealousy and shit. Of course you would say at least sweetcaroline is not mean like me. I guess you missed where she said as if I was like Hitler the other day? I guess you missed how she dragged my ill parents into her shit? I guess you missed where she said she is pretty sure she hates me? Or do you choose not to notice that? Either way, yes your friend has indeed been mean, out of line more than once. Of course, you will defend her no matter what she does. I don't think you are a Queen fan. I actually think you arent even a hard rock fan. Going by your posts, I say you are only an AL fan. |

I don't know what kind of people you folks associate with, but in my world we don't have much to do with liars. That isn't anything I ever think about but apparently you people do. Also, if you have a life with family, job, etc, you don't spend a lot of time on-line posting about bands and books and stuff like that. This is the only place I ever post. Don't really understand that either. As far as not being a rock fan, yea, I saw Maiden and Priest and Ozzy because I really hated their music. I guess my world is very different than yours and I am glad about it, because I don't hate everything and criticize everything and disbelieve what others tell me. Stay in you "happy" (sarcasm - for you, Icy!) little world. It must truly suck to be like you guys with no joy in your surroundings. |

'Leave Adam alone' you said a week or so ago as if you want to be his mother or grandmother... Oh wait, you already think AL is like a second son to you.The way you think, feel and post about the guy is creepy as fuck. You even posted links to his family, you even posted about his flight details while he was actually on it. Do you have any common sense at all? You should rename this thread Glamberts who are 'glowing about everything to do with AL' since that's all you can handle. God knows you lose your shit otherwise, you have proven that 100s of times already. You spammed the crap out of QOL for years about AL in every way you could, why? Why all the glowing tweets and articles...why because you think that proves 'naysayers' 'wrong'. Why are you so hurt, upset and angry when someone doesn't feel the way you do about AL? Why are you so bitter and jealous of anyone who isn't Lambert? Why are you so obessed about AL? I get you like the guy. You might even think you "love" the guy and think what you do is for love of the guy. But it's creepy what you do sometimes, and you are unaware of what you do. I know for a fact it's because of you that you have turned a few people away from even wanting to support AL. You are so quick to label people as haters, negative, even homophobic. You might let it slip here that you think AL isn't accepted on QZ because he is gay, just like you did on QOL, and you are so mind numbingly dumb, you think you did nothing wrong over there when you said that. Does it make you feel better to call Queen fans homophobic or something? Did you get a kick out yourself the other day when you said "as if I'm like Hitler". Do you get Glambert points for that? You keep on trying to claim you are the victim. I admit again, I have been harsh to you at times, but make sure you tell everyone what parts you have played in it too. You are not without fault. |

Wow, Icy, are you finally having that breakdown. You sure are behaving poorly, screaming and yelling and telling quite a few whoppers yourself. For someone who hates Adam you sure know the ins and outs of Adamtopia. What are you talking about, a red alert? I have no clue what that is. I read there and scroll a lot and posted under 10 times in all the years I have checked it out. I haven't posted once this year there, I am pretty sure. As far as QOL, I haven't said much recently, nor for the whole year.. I bet it is only a handful of posts in the past year. The only place I post regularly (should have included that word!) is here. As usual I am sorry I wasted my time. You are nastier than ever and just ruin the forum, probably the nastiest piece of work I have ever had the misfortune to encounter. You call everyone liars and no one else is like you, all about the music. Right, there is hardly a post anywhere from you about the music. You call people out, rant, and then ask questions at most. You are really all about the music, I can tell! This is just a place for you to vent your frustrations as no one would go to the lengths that you do for any other reason. Have fun deluding yourself, but you aren't deluding anyone else. You couldn't put together a coherent post about music if your life depended on it, otherwise I would have seen something like that from you after all these years and I never have. |

Yes, I read Adamtopia at times, I have admitted to that before. You waant to call me a liar? At best what was said in the following screencaps sounds exactly the way sound the way you do here when you go off. And funny how you started to post after that red alert was sent out. You say haven't said much on QOL for a whole year...yet you still post there even though you said you only post here. Who is the liar here exactly? Who gets mad when she reads a view about liking to see a little more of Freddie and John during Q+AL shows? Who doesn't even like it when Freddie's name is mentioned here? You can deflect and throw your shit at me all you want, but you have done more than your fair share of it while being blind as to what you and sweetcaroline have done/still do. It's obvious why you came here and it's just as obvious why you are still here. Out of all your posts, how many have been about the music? Less than 10 I dare say. I'm not one of your students you might have sent to the principal's office just because things got on your nerves, or someone back talked you. Real life doesn't work that way. You want people to be glowng, postive, to and for AL here. You hardly like or accept another view. You judge all Queen fans by the actions of a couple of people. Is AL that important for you and sweetcaroline that you both can't see or take in anything else other than defnding and promoting the guy and attacking views and people you don't like? Yes, I'm sure you are sorry for wasting your time. You just hate being called out on your shit. |

Do you have nothing better to do than stalk people on line? Red alert I have no clue of and I don't download crap like this on the internet. You need to be avoided at all costs as you are approaching the unbalanced area. Get a real life, lady! I am done posting here as I don't like you or this situation at all. People need to be beware of you. Have fun with your Freddie and your make believe world. |

Nothing is private on the internet as your friend claimed when I called her out on what she did regarding AL's personal life, spreading on Queen boards like it was ok. I'm pointing out a red alert that was sent out on Adamtopia and that's hardly private. It's hardly cyber stalking what I'm doing. Anyone can read Adamtopia. Not like I went through anyone's personal information. Yes of course you are done posting here. Like all the times you said you would ignore my posts, but you never have managed to do it once. So let's see how long you will be done this time. LMAO. Aww. Another Glamberts who doesn't like me. See how petty you can get? You don't like it when you are called out on your shit, simply put. So you try to deflect on me as you are doing here. You can't even tolerate seeing Freddie's name in here. That told me more than anything else ever did and ever could that you aren't a Freddie/Queen fan. You should be ashamed of yourself, not only for not realizing how important Freddie and John were to Queen, but the fact you went off on me because I would have liked to have seen them a little more. And any Queen fan wouldn't practically gloat that Freddie's not here the way you and sweetcaroline have done is despicable. Good riddance to you. Although I'm sure you will be back soon enough ;-). |

I have no intention of downloading anything, but I found one post on QOL in early Dec about my experience buying tickets and 2 in July and one in May. I don't think that qualifies me as a liar or serial poster. I couldn't find any on Adamtopia. Whatever you think about a red alert, it sure wasn't me. I don't even know what you are talking about. I am sure it didn't have my name on it as the poster. I am not that much of an idiot. Who does stupid crap like that? I think the last post I made was in 2016 about VIP tickets. The only place I post much at all is here, but I am sure that makes me a liar. I don't count a couple of posts during the course of a year as much of anything. Say what you want, but you are really scary and until Freddie's name is the only one allowed everywhere and only the most marvelous things mentioned, you won't be happy. I am not ashamed of myself as I don't post about anything here unless it is QAL and then occasionally about Freddie. John I have zero interest in. You want to hijack everything. Have fun. I hope everyone leaves here and you can post back and forth with yourself. |

Ok, I will take your word for it. . I do know for a fact you wanted others to join your crusade here to get me banned. So yes, it looked like that poster on Adamtopia was you. When have you posted about Freddie? Hardly ever unless you are going on that you don't like his name etc being mentioned in here, or your thoughts he is shown enough in the Q+AL shows. I'm scary? Yes, when I dig and post about AL's personal moments away from the spotlight, you can call me scary. Adamtopia is a public board, anyone can read there if they choose to do so. It should be that simple. I pointed out what a poster said over there about what was going on here. The things you fail to notice and then try to turn the tables on me, it's laughable. How many times have you ended up losing your shit here? Plenty....you did that from your first post you made here. And you want to say I'm having a mental break down. Seriously, you are blind to things you have done. |

The poster on Adamtopia was not me, Scout's honor. I don't post there ordinarily. I also didn't have a crusade here to get others to join me. I don't know anybody on these boards. I just stated from the very beginning that you and Caroline always fight and that if she got banned, it was probably a ruckus with you. So, I would assume both people would be banned. It was as simple as that. No crusades, no anything. That was my opinion, nothing else. I have no idea who would join me? I am really confused about that. I am done with the subject. I don't care anymore, really. It just isn't any fun to post. I have never really done it prior to here and it has been a bad experience. I will leave everyone else to their fun.

Just yesterday you said that, but look at you ranting about it today. You are so bitter about some of the posters and QOL as a whole. When your ban is over in May, I dare you to post this crap over there. So now you are blaming me and someone else for threads being locked and deleted? Even though it's been said not one person was the reason for it. It's mind blowing what you blame me for, and you take no responsibility for what you have done after all this time. You continue to outright lie, trying to make yourself look better in front of people here. So many lies you have told through the years all the while you don't realize you were a big part of the issues. You'd rather play the victim who never did anything wrong, even with the truth stated. Yeah, sure you wish Brian and Roger would tour again. You will be devastated and angry once Q+AL is over. I can see you turning on Brian and Roger. You were upset when Nate and GaGa joined Brian and Roger for one song for God's sake. You want everyone to love AL, no matter what. That's one thing, another thing altogether when you try to shut other views down because you don't like the person who is saying certain views. |

Yes, Iron Butterfly is always much more active in the forum, where Caroline is active as well. It’s very obvious. ;) Merry Christmas, you freaks! |

Every time she ends up banned she thinks she has done nothing wrong, and it's all because of me, loving AL too much, posting about AL too much, if she answers my questions...she would like you and everyone else here to believe she's without fault.SweetCaroline wrote: “It just isn’t any fun to post.

Regarding being banned at QOL, icy, consider yourself lucky that YAFF stands up for you to JLP and calls him out for “bullying” you. The conversation on page 211 of the Adam Lambert thread shows how irritated JLP gets when you continue to bring up the Adam/Freddie/gay subject. And yes that had something to do with me getting banned back in May and it also had something to do with the first time I got banned because you and your milkman buddy kept pushing it. I remember you getting banned for a couple of months (?) but I don’t know the reason because it had nothing to do with me. As for me wanting to go back there to take more abuse, no I won’t be doing that. It is appalling that people with positive messages are not tolerated. If I went back with nasty criticism of Adam, I would be welcomed with open arms! |
Sealion 27.12.2018 15:03 |
No, you wouldn’t. Runner got banned there as well. He sure wasn’t positive about Q+. My impression is, that YOU got banned, because of two reasons: A) You keep pushing AL too much. Even if a thread isn’t about him. B) You keep clashing with Butterfly/Icy. I actually agree, that’s more her fault than your‘s. Because she does follow your posts, as I mentioned before. And she kept criticizing your posts to the attention of the mods. It’s almost the same as here (only more civilized): You two keep fighting. In order to stop this, the moderator has to throw one of you out. Since she keeps mostly silent, as long as you’re gone, he banns you. The one, who doesn’t get along with some of the other members either. It’s that easy. For all I know, there have been quite a few civil discussions on QOL about Q+ lately. And it’s more than just 2 glamberts. Actually, I wouldn’t call anyone there just a glambert. I see Queen fans talking about a collaboration. But for all I know, even I‘ve been called a glambert more than once by now. So QOL must be full of them. Even the mods must be glamberts, because they banned the runner. ;) |

I have no idea what “runner” calls himself at QOL. I thought he was milkman, Or is he YAFF, Icy’s bodyguatd? LOL In May I posted an interview with Adam about the Freddie biopic in the biopic thread, Right away dear icy pounced on it because Adam was answering questions about his and Freddie’s sexual orientation. According to her he had no business talking about that subject. JLP right away moved the posts to the Adam thread. I don’t read the posts at QOL very often but I see that icy is pretty much keeping a low profile since I’m not there. And the others are very careful. Again, there are some who can say whatever they want as long as it isn’t overly complimentary to Adam. When I was there, icy thought she was an assistant moderator and called out if there was duplicate information even if it had additional videos, etc. Nice things about Adam is called SPAM and multiple posts bitching about him isn’t called that. |

People, who read here regularly, know these. THIS IS spam. (And it’s also spam, when Butterfly keeps retelling her side of the story). NOBODY here is interested in that. A question: Why do you keep saying, that other Lambert fans are very careful or need to keep a low profile? The Q+ section is actually the most active one besides the threads for the movie. And I like to read all the different takes there. You should be reminded, that it IS a Queen forum. Lambert shouldn’t be the main topic. Yes, he’s part of their story now. But only a part. And only for a few years now. You can talk about everything Q+AL. And some information about Lambert is OK for me. But I for one don’t think, that a Queen board (or a Q+AL board) is the place to discuss EVERYTHING about Lambert. Therefore you should go to a Lambert site. There are enough of them, I‘ve heard. Unlike QueenZone, the QOL forum has a nice balance at the moment. It could be a bit more active at times, but if the price is, to have you lot posting over there, I will prefer the occasional silence. ;) |

One more thing while I’m on my soapbox. I don’t know if Freddie was officially bisexual or officially homosexual and I really don’t care. Adam has had sex with women. Does that make HIM bisexual? Why is Freddie considered macho and Adam is mocked as a “ladyboy?” Again, I don’t care because I think Adam is very macho. I just don’t get it. Why can’t they both be who they are and be left alone about it. The only reason I point out what Freddie wore is that I am tired of hearing that about Adam. |

Just to say over on QOL when the movie came out the mod moved some comments out of the movie thread because he was fed up of the argument about Adam having a cameo. When questioned he said he'd seen the movie and wasn't the least bit bothered by Adam being in it and it certainly didn't spoil anything for him but he was annoyed at the ongoing arguing by a couple of people that was derailing the thread and he moved them for that reason. Makes sense to me since on here without a mod threads just end up derailed constantly. He may not like QAL but I don't get the impression he actually hates Adam outside of the Queen collaboration or that he's deliberately banning or picking on people who do like him, there's been some civil discussions over there about him recently and no one's been picked at about them. |

You might not listen to my side of the story...but a big thanks to you for making up your own mind about some things that was done over there. |

Sweetcaroline/CNB has been told by the PTB right on the board about spamming more than once. I think it is countless times before the last one. I think it's important to point out that she has been banned before and has ran here to QZ to blame me for it, three or four of her bans as of now. Sweetcaroline is the one who says I'm to blame for her bans and those of others. It's basically lies because she has provided no proof of any of it. Because she doesn't have any proof at all. There are clashes sealion, you and I have clashed a couple of times, no biggie. But the lies said about me, that I'm brown nosing an admin, that sweetcaroline pretty much hates and as if I'm Hitler... sweetcaroline has put that out here about me just recently. |

Every.Time. Another one who has read for years. Did I interact with you on QOL? How exactly have I pointed anything out to the mods. They were keeping an eye on the thread/s for some time to try to curb the arguments and spam. And wouldn't you know it, it wasn't only me who pointed out sweetcaroline was posting pretty much the same article. But it's always easier to blame me, right. You go search CNB'S last post over there and see who replied after that, the guy knew it was a rehash even before I posted. I guess that means he might have looked at what was in the article. I've never claimed to be innocent for one thing. You don't see me posting that I have never done anything wrong and having nothing to be sorry about at all - things sweetcaroline has posted here to defend what she did on QOL. Yes, sweetcaroline AKA CNB was told not to spam many times, but she still spammed away trying to get away with it funny enough. Practically posting the same article four times or more IIRC. That's just one thing she did right before this current ban she is under. All those 'articles' were taken from the same article. All the videos she posted from this way and that way with just different angles. All her crap about who she thinks was/is a real Queen fan or not, just because some people didn't attend Q+AL concerts. Her excuses about why AL didn't sell, be played or shown more on TV, everything from homophobia to payola she came up with to excuse things. Her bitterness to anyone who isn't Lambert, especially two other artists in particular, because she views them as competition for AL, and she has made her feelings clear what she thinks about them. Boo hoo, one member put me on her ignore list. No skin of my nose. I've been a member of both Queen boards for years. I've kept reading here without posting very much for years because I forgot my details to log in. Sweetcaroline AKA CNB came here three or four times after being to say she blames me for her bans and those of others. I don't know of any other person who has been banned other than myself and CNB. You go back and read threads/posts from 2014 or so in this subform that sweetcaroline has made, she blamed me then, since and now for her bans every time. You tell me how I'm lying about that. Name usernames if you know who else has been banned on QOL, because I sure as hell don't know. You and sweetcaroline go right ahead and name the usernames since apparently you have more information than I do about any of it. I've been a part of some discussions over at QOL since Q+AL started. Sweetcaroline should have known better than to post AL wasn't accepted on QOL because he's gay wasn't the smartest idea or thing to post on QOL to put it mildly. Her coming here at least three times to lay the blame all on my shoulders for her bans isn't the smartest idea either. Her post where she said she pretty much hates me and as if I'm like Hitler/Trump is crazy. But hey, it's out there now what she truly thinks of me all the while she is pretending to be innocent. Who is she trying to fool and why? So she can have people take her side, no questions or with no blowback at all, that's what she is after, plus to get others on my back. She sure has pulled the wool over some people's eyes. I'm not totally innocent of some things, no, but I'm not the total bitch some would have you believe either. If you do read QOL you would know around this time last year, it was said by the admin on QOL that I wasn't to blame for sweetcaroline's aka CNBs four month ban from last year. Still sweetcaroline blames me for that and so much more. So nope, I'm not in the same boat as sweetcaroline. She isn't even a Queen or Freddie fan. I am. |

I would say that no matter how many times you state that your opinions count, it just points out that you, not Adam is the biggest loser! You are entitled to your opinions, but you are in a very small minority and never have anything new to say, so you could easily move off to a different forum. The real statistics just don't prove anything you say to be true. Just saying the same things over and over does not make it true. |

So....is QAL playing to bigger audiences than QPR? |
snifflese 15.01.2019 05:28 |
I don't know, but I would be curious. I have gotten the impression from reading lots of stuff that although the venues were sometimes the same, they opened up more areas for QAL and the total in some of the venues were larger, but I don't know that for a fact. The Xfinity Center in Boston for the summer show has close to 20,000 and it is sold out with only a few VIP's left. That seems like a good number of people! This tour sold out almost immediately and I am sure that has a lot to do with the Biopic, although I see lots of repeat concert goers saying they are going and they would have attended regardless. It is amazing how many shows some people go to. I am always amazed. I met a gal who had been to over 100 Adam solo and Queen shows and there were lots of folks like that!! Add to it the fact that folks come from Europe and all over to attend numerous shows on various continents. I couldn't even imagine that! |

I don't know any of you, so, I can't engage in the personal, back and forth, but, I can say this.... .....The remaining Queen band members should be ashamed of themselves, putting their own selfish want of more money, over the memory of Freddie. Trotting out Adam Lambert?! As Freddie's replacement?! No one, no matter how hard they try, is good enough to carry water for Freddie, let alone step in and play lead singer for Queen. The only time I saw Lambert, was when he was on that singing competition show and, I thought then, he sounded like a screeching cat, in heat.... nothing has changed. It's a slap in the face to Freddie's real fans, to put that no talent, Freddie wanna be, up there in Freddie's place and, anyone who likes what they see/hear, can't possibly be a true fan. All AL is doing is, cashing in on Freddie's fame, just riding the wave.....HE, AL, didn't start it, FREDDIE did, Adam is just using Freddie to climb the ladder to fame and fortune...... I hope he breaks his neck. |

The music doesn't stop just because the composer passed on. If that were the case, there would be no Mozart, Beethoven, etc, etc, etc. How many times have songs been rerecorded by new artists? It happens all the time and that is the mark of great music, the fact that it lives on when other musicians play it and singers sing it. This is just a ridiculous argument as if Freddie were more important than any of the artists of the past. I don't think he can be placed above the great composers of the past and their works are played every day around the world and I don't remember ever reading anything like this about their music. It would be very sad to have lost this treasure trove of music because the original composer, singer, etc is no longer alive. As far as Brian and Roger, I doubt that it has anything to do with money. They have more than enough. They play because they are musicians and that is their job and their passion. Why should they give it up? They have said when it isn't fun, they won't do it. At their age it is all about enjoyment and self satisfaction and they love touring with Adam and entertaining their fans. They actually KNEW Freddie and if they don't find it offensive, I don't know why others should. It is their band, their music and their choice as to how they will go about dealing with their music. I would say that there are millions of fans that just don't agree with you about Adam and his voice. He is becoming a fixture and fans seem to also love him. You are in the very, very tiny minority. |

The people who go to see Queen with Adam Lambert, are going to see.... Adam Lambert, they're HIS fans, not Freddie's or, Queen's. 20,000 people? Sure, I buy that, 20,000 people who probably weren't even born until after Freddie died and, knew nothing about him, or Queen, for that matter, who just wanted to see, ' that guy who won that singing contest on TV.' I don't begrudge any of you, your thoughts/feelings/opinions and, I would never resort to insults, like some of you. It's my perogitive, to like, dislike anyone, singers included, as for the band? They've sullied the name, Queen, by putting that person up there, pretending to be Freddie, TRYING, to be Freddie, if not for Freddie, they would have remained 'Smile' playing in low class dives, they owe their fame and fortune to, Freddie Mercury. As far as I'm concerned, Queen died, the day Freddie died. Ever hear the expression, ' break a leg' no different than, ' break a neck'....I'm just wishing Adam well, in a different way. Oh, 20,000 people.... opposed to how many Freddie brought in? We're not talking about the same game, let alone, ballpark. |
snifflese 24.01.2019 16:22 |
I understand that you are a Queen guy and that is just fine. However, the number 20,000 is for one concert this summer (my conceert in Boston), not the sum total of all of their concerts, which would be millions. They have sung at over 80 shows and some have been huge, like the first in Kiev where there were 450.000 in the square. If you add all those up, it is in the millions. The number per concert is also going up evidenced by the larger venues in the upcoming tour. They are pretty much sold out and they have added crumby seats on the side, up in the top and even behind the stage (who would want to be there?). They actually have played for millions of fans and then add all the people who have seen them perform on TV like the New Years Eve show (2014 maybe??). It is quite a large number. The people who see the concert are fans of both Queen and Adam and the big majority are Queen fans. You just have to look at social media to see how many people say they are huge Queen fans and never wanted to see anyone but Freddie, but they love this show after having been dragged to a show, or they were just curious. It have seen thousands and thousand of Queen fans changing their minds and writing about it on the internet. I have also spoken to many at the concerts. It is way more than you would think! Adam also has lots of fans, but I do think most are initially Queen fans. You also have to remember how many years it has taken Queen to build up a fan base and QAL is relatively new in comparison. It is, however, off to a great start with lots of new and younger fans! |

Plenty long time Queen fans, fans who saw Freddie live as well go to their shows so no they aren't all Adam's fans and they were clearly born long before Freddie died. Adam's fans got to see "that guy who won (sic) that singing contest on TV on his solo tours one of which was a 10 month world tour before he joined Brian & Roger. They've played to far larger crowds than 20,000 - Rock in Rio, Isle of Wight etc - not sure what that's supposed to prove. Adam doesn't pretend to be Freddie in the slightest, he has no interest in being anyone other than himself. There's no way to know what would have happened to Smile had Freddie not joined them, just as there's no way to know what would have happened to Freddie if he'd stayed playing "low class dives" with the bands he played with prior to joining Brian & Roger, that can only ever be speculation. If it's not for you fine don't go no problem, quite simple really. |

As an aside, this is a Queen forum, I don't think anyone, knows anyone, personally, so, why all the hostility and, name calling? Can't there be discussion, like normal adults?

Regarding the band, Smile, and whether or not they would have made it big, without Freddie? The answer is a resounding, NO....not to the degree in which Freddie took Queen, anyway. Because, you see, Freddie was the key component, no Freddie, no band called, Queen. Had Freddie not demanded a chance to play with Smile, had he not changed the name to Queen, had he not written chart topping hit songs...we wouldn't be having this conversation, because, Queen would not exist. Freddie was the driving force behind Queen, it was he, who is responsible for their status, their fame....so, yeah, it's in bad taste, in my opinion, to put ANYONE up on stage, where Freddie used to be, in an attempt to keep the name Queen, out there, they seem a little ungrateful to the man who's genius, put them in the spotlight to begin with. |

Queen wouldn't have their distinctive sound if not for Brian's guitar and they all contributed great songs to their catalogue and the likelihood is if they hadn't had the push and pull in the studio, arguing about various aspects of each song they wouldn't have been as great as they were, their solo efforts were never as great as their collective ones. As to the name Queen, Freddie came up with it but the band "Queen" wasn't owned by Freddie, they were four equals, even Freddie said that. I really don't see the bad taste part, Freddie died over 27 years ago, it's not like they pushed him out of the band to replace him, why should two guys who are passionate about what they spent years creating with Freddie have to stop and not perform their music anymore due to events beyond their control? It makes no sense to me that there are hundreds of cover bands and Freddie impersonators out their playing Queen music every night but two of the founding members of the band shouldn't be playing their own music live for the fans who still love to see them. |
ForFreddie 24.01.2019 18:13 |
My point being, it was Freddie who came up with the name Queen, in that regard, there never would have been a band called Queen, if not for him. The remaining band members, do, in fact, owe what success they now enjoy, to Freddie.... like I've said, no Freddie Mercury, no Queen. The other, Adam Lambert stuff, is all a matter of perspective. Queen, isn't Queen, without Freddie, they still call themselves Queen, they still perform as Queen, but, without Freddie, they are just another rock band. It's because of Freddie, that Brian got to showcase his guitar playing, they owe their success, entirely to that day, when a young man with an overbite, a dream and a desire to sing, wrangled a chance to play with Smile.....and, the rest, as they say, is history. |

I am sure if Brian and Roger recorded new music with Adam the die hards would have a nervous breakdown. I am sure they would be even more unhappy than they are now. I doubt that would make QAL more credible to you. You would just have one more thing to criticize. Personally, I think they should at least record a few new songs just to see what they could come up with. I would love to hear something new from them. Maybe they haven't lost the touch. I always loved Brian's music the most of the four and I bet he and Roger could still write something new and wonderful! I hope it happens even if it is only one or two songs. |

Most people ignore things they hate and concentrate on what they do love. There''s plenty Queen threads on the board (the band you claim to love and who you say doesn't exist since 1991) but you choose to spend the majority of your time in the QAL part where the band no longer exists according to you!!! |

If you mean that article that's been floating around neither Brian nor Roger said anything about retiring but the media used the headline as clickbait. Adam will carry on as a solo artist with a backing band and doing other projects like he always has away from the QAL gig. He loves doing the Queen thing because it fits how he likes to perform but he was never really interested in being part of a band initially and I doubt that's changed. |

Well, I doubt you would even get tickets as everything is pretty much sold out! Thousands of people are flocking to the shows and you few people here really don't matter in the big scheme of things. You have your old videos and vinyls and Cd's to enjoy. Everyone should be happy at the end of the day.l I just don't understand what there is to complain about. You either like it or you don't, end of story, Last I saw was Brian plotting about what he is going to do next with Adam. People were trying to figure out what that meant, so retirement is not in the picture yet, as long as they are healthy. And when they are ready to retire, Adam will have many opportunities to keep on performing. As Brancelli said, he would be great on Broadway!! Adam is quite wealthy and can forge his own path. You people seem to be the only ones obsessing about what he does later on. Icy, it will be something wonderful, although I know from your remarks that you hope he will just fade away. Doubt that is happening. You don't have to front a rock band to be happy and make good money. Adam's fans are not worrying, co you guys can take that one of the list! |

Thanks, I appreciate that!! Maybe things will start getting better around here! That would sure make me happy because I do like old Queen, new QAL and I do love Adam's voice. I was a fan before he ever came to Queen, so i do have a soft spot for him! Queen's music is the best music that he sings by far. I have been a Queen fan from the very beginning. I just don't think some of his own music is that suitable for a voice like that. I loved the Nessun Dorma snippet, but he doesn't seem to go for classical. It is really too bad, but I will listen to anything he sings. If that makes me a Glamtart, so be it. That name is much better than some of the others and I can live with that one!! |

snifflese 29.01.2019 00:30 |
I remember them from the 1970's and I have loved them ever since. I think I bought all their albums and then their CD"s, but without the internet, I didn't know as much about them as guys and as a band. Then too I was newly married and busy with work and family. People here say I am not a fan, because I don't know all the trivia surrounding them, but I have always loved their music and that is all I needed to know. I find it absolutely amazing the many styles of music they incorporated into their music. As a lover of classical music, I love strong male voices and you have to be an awesome singer to manage a Queen song for sure. I love intricate music with guitar solos and crashing cords. I am a great metal lover, so Queen ticks that wicket also. I listen to them often and although everyone laughs, I do like their Greatest Hits as there are just so many of them! Brian has always been my favorite and the songs he has written were also my favorites even though years ago I didn't know which person wrote them. Iron Maiden and Queen are my two favorites, but Queen's music speaks to me the most! I wish there was more info here instead of arguing. I am going to see them in Aug in Boston and I can hardly wait. Can't believe those two old dudes can still bring it and yet, they do, esp Brian. I have no idea how he can do what he does for over two hours every night on tour. I greatly admire them!! I know you are not an Adam fan, but I would love one song that they worked on together just to see if they still have it and I bet they do!! I wish I had a quarter of their energy! |
ForFreddie 29.01.2019 03:24 |
It was the 70's for me, too. Like you, I didn't know too much about the private/trivia side of the band, all I knew was, I loved them! Roger, I think, my favorite, because I really love the sound of drums and, he knocks it outta the ballpark! ...it's forums like this, that have helped a lot, with really getting to 'know' Queen. I remember my son, probably 12/13 years old, blasting, " Another one Bites the Dust," on his stereo, it was his favorite song...my son is 39 now...lol... I went to the theater to see BR, with my daughter in law, another huge Queen fan, it's amazing, how their music transcends generations. |

Runner you are just such a curmudgeon. Why you keep saying I hate Freddie, I will never understand. I am not sure how many times I have acknowledged that he is an icon, so charismatic on stage, legendary (first two mentioned again in the last week!!). I just think it is funny that Freddie and Adam were gay men who wore out there costumes to perform (part of the show, love it myself) and were flamboyant. One gets a total pass and the other is some nasty lady boy. I don't understand and I don't think it is fair. As far as goat boy, Freddie had a more pronounced vibrato at times. Vibrato is an important aspect of singing. See Brancell'is post from some time this week. I like to be fair and you are not at all. I can enjoy different singers singing the same song if they are both excellent singers. The stylistics are different and it sounds quite different with Freddie and Adam, but I can appreciate both of them. That should not bother you in the least. I have been a Queen fan since the 1970's, a Maiden fan since the early 90's as my boys were huge Maiden fans. I went to any number of metal concerts with them and love, love, love metal. Both boys played in metal bands, one a bass player and one drums. My basement was always rocking with band practices so for you to say I am not a metal fan is ridiculous. I appreciate the music. It is my fav kind but I just don't know details. I won't appreciate them anymore knowing a bunch of facts. Why that is a problem for you, I don't know. If a certain band's music speaks to you and resonates with you, that is all you need to be a fan. There will never be another Freddie and his legacy and all he did was amazing. But I have always also been an Adam fan and I just also like QAL. I have room in my heart for multiple bands. It is as simple as that. I m definitely a Queen fan. They are my absolute fav band ever and Maiden runs a close second. And yes, I can appreciate and really like lots of other bands, too. DO NOT TELL ME what I am, as I am quite tired of your nonsense. |
snifflese 29.01.2019 14:15 |
Hey For Freddie! We have similar interests! I also have a son who will be 39 in February. He is the one who was the bass player and a really good singer. He was the one who played by ear and the other son, who played the drums, did the 7 years of musical training for piano, so he played by the music sheets!! He couldn't play be ear and the other one had a harder time reading sheet music. Funny how that works!! The guitar player son went with me to both QAL concerts and was quite opposed, but he took poor old Mom. At the end of the day, he came over to the "dark" side and had to admit that the show was great and he was surprised how well Adam fit with the band. He, just like me, saw great strides between the 2014 and 2016 concerts. I am really hoping for an even better one this year. It is like anything else, normally the longer you do it, the better it becomes. |

Snifflese....my son was never very musical...I remember him liking Metallica as a teenager. I visited him last month, got in his vehicle to go somewhere and, he's got a Jimi Hendrix CD in the player. My daughter, was the musical one, played clarinet in her highschool band and, she played keyboards, I'd hear her in her room, playing Journey songs. I never had bands practicing in my garage but, the kid across the street, did, he played drums and sang lead, there were 2-3 other guys involved also, I don't think they ever went any farther than just being a garage band. I would have loved to play drums, they've always been my favorite sound in rock bands, my grandson....good gosh, how old AM I?......plays drums, he's quite good, he was in his highschool's marching band....plus he had a set in his room...one of the guys he took lessons from, once played with Grand Funk.... briefly, I'm told, but, hey..... |

At least not completely. It might look like that to fans, who’ve never seen a complete show (online or live). When you’re there, you will see pretty soon, that these concerts celebrate Queen. That‘s what I meant, when I said a few days ago, that Lambert is a good man. He gives a speech, in which he honors Freddie especially and I have to admit, puts himself down. He gives Brian and Roger every room and credit a frontman can. That’s what I like about him: He’s humble, but at the same time a showman. A rare combination and I have to say absolutely fitting for that collaboration. I never get the impression, that the show is about Lambert. That’s what us old fans like about that it. And Mr. Lambert himself? He sure gets recognition from it. But that’s very much earned. It’s a tough job -probably the toughest that there is in the music business. |
snifflese 29.01.2019 17:58 |
I agree with that completely, Sea Lion. I have never gotten the impression that Adam is a boaster or tries to make himself out to be something that he is not. That is why I disagree with Icy sometimes, esp about the cameo after the awards. I am sure that was the management doing that. Adam doesn't ever call himself Queen's frontman or say they should record music together or anything of that nature. He still calls himself a guest. Having followed him for 10 years he comes across as a balanced, nice human being. I have never seen anyone who has worked with him or met him say that he is anything but. In fact they will post how, I guess unexpectedly, nice he was. He still has the same friends he has had since high school and his relationship with his family is so warm. That tells me a lot about him as a human being. I think he thanks his lucky stars that he has such a wonderful gig and appreciates Brian and Roger and for the opportunity.He often mentions how different his life would have been had he not auditioned with Bohemian Rhapsody. You can dislike his voice and how he uses it, but I don't think it is fair to say nasty things about him as a person. |

Sealion/snifflese...even though AL can and has put his foot in it at times, I do think he's a good man. For example, the biopic. I wish he had nothing to do with with any of that. And yes, it did come across as tacky that IMO he promoted himself as having the cameo in it after it won the two Golden Globes. That's just me and my own POV, and of course I may be the only one who thinks that way. The biopic didn't and doesn't need him to promote it, it's already making history. It's already the biggest thing for Queen since MIH. Now, I don't know if was AL's or his teams idea for him to post about his cameo when it was posted. And again, I do think AL is a good man... who can put his foot in it at times. Something we all do. |

It took a long while before they toured again and it's really obvious they are loving being out there again so even if I wasn't personally interested in the collaboration I'd still be happy for them - just my take on it. |

link This is for Brancelli and Rockchic - this author is a singer and music teacher and has written a lot of very interesting articles about Adam's voice. I am fascinated about singer's voices (not just Adam!), so I always read them. She talks about the manner in which he sings Nessen Dorma and how different it was to her ears. She brings up the weakness in the 2nd phrase (line) due to his lower register. It is actually in the comment area and is in answer to a question. (you mentioned that Brancelli) I thought her remarks about commercial opera singing was really interesting. You might enjoy this as she knows his voice well and is quite an expert hersel on the voice. |

Yes, it is, Caroline! Thanks! I cut and pasted the one that I was reading and have no clue why it doesn't work, but yours sure does. I enjoyed that article a lot. I never thought about whether or not opera has become less popular in the last so many years. I guess it makes a lot of sense given the type of music most people seem to enjoy. It is very different from years ago.That was an interesting take on the future of opera. |

I like how she explains the differences, i.e. belting the higher notes. I think she is a bit too optimistic to think opera might transform into a more commercial trend like how Adam sang it. If that happened, I believe people would tend to say that it wasn't actually opera. However, I do enjoy how Adam sings this. To me, it was a gentler version, while still very skillful. This "commercial opera" -- not pop or rock -- is where he can truly showcase his voice. The best example of course is "Come to Me, Bend to Me" (classical, but not opera), as I know you have heard. Again, thank you for the informative link, as I do enjoy reading a thoughtful vocal analysis. |

I apologize in advance for posting this, as I know it's been posted before, but this is an excellent example of Adam's control over his voice. No crazy high notes either, so perhaps maybe Icy may even enjoy it. It is the aforementioned "Come to Me, Bend to Me" from Brigadoon. link |

Ok, he is a nice guy, a good guy, doesn't forget where he came from, loyal to his friends. I actually might like him, should I ever meet him. That being said, I still can't watch him on stage with Queen ... except for the clips I did watch.... there's something about that, that doesn't sit right with me, as ridiculous as some might find that. It was always Queen, with Freddie Mercury, every song I listened to, every time I was in the car, rocking out, getting odd looks from fellow motorists.... I can't accept anything else.A perfectly reasonable and respectable response. |
SweetCaroline 30.01.2019 06:46 |
Adam’s “Come To Me, Bend To Me” is a favorite from when I first discovered him. I also loved “Is Anybody Listening” so much I bought the whole Ten Commandments DVD with him as Joshua and Val Kilmer as Moses. |

I agree with you Brancelli. CTMBTM is one of the most beautiful songs Adam has sung. I could never understand why someone who can sing like that would want to do EDM!! It is such a waste, like a Ferrari wanting to be a Ford, why? That is the thing that has frustrated me about Adam since the beginning. In that song he has such a beautifully pure tone and his breath control is amazing. I have hope that he might one day sing something like that again. Perhaps on Broadway? I know many folks pooh pooh Broadway singers, but they have to have remarkably good voices and very durable voices, way better vocally than the average pop star. I would love to hear him in Phantom, something with a slightly operatic flair. I always enjoyed him singing Seven Seas of Rhye with Queen, as that song has the same operatic flair. Since some of Queen's music is like that, I really enjoy Adam singing Queen much more than his own music! Bad fan, I know!!! The opera remarks were interesting. I don't know how watered down opera would fare, but things always change and when something is no longer popular, it is changed. Hopefully, that will never happen, but nowadays, you never know. Here is hoping to Adam doing more "commercial" opera or simply something like CTMBTM or even songs like Believe. I would be happy with any of the above and Queen's music, of course!! |

I get it, FF! When you really like a certain thing, that is what you like and nothing else quite measures up to it. Nothing wrong with that and I certainly understand. Some singers ring your bell and speak to you and others don't. For me Adam speaks to me. I get chills or goosebumps sometimes when I listen and so the music speaks to me! Every once in a while I hear someone on the TV and the same thing happens, so for me, the music is resonating with me and that is the beauty of music. You can't help what you like. |
SweetCaroline 30.01.2019 17:13 |
snifflese, that article you posted mentions how singers like Adam have a need to open up and sing out to the full extent of their ability. I think that is exactly what Queen music enables Adam to do. It is so powerful that the vocalist can let loose and not hold back. That’s what I enjoy about him at the live shows more than listening to a recording of his solo music. |

Q+AL has been more successful than Q+PR because; 1) Adam is younger with a younger fanbase who in turn promote the shit out of it on social media plus mainstream media likely find a good looking and talented singer to be an easy sell 2) Adam has, in America at least, has had a far more successful career here as opposed to Rodgers whose solo success pales in comparison add to which Rodgers has nowhere the same name recognition on his own as opposed to the bands he was in 3) Q+AL also have performed on US TV and capitalized on that coverage whereas Q+PR as best as I can recall, never did. The closest Q+PR came to that was Queen week on American Idol and even then Rodgers was barely mentioned. There are more reasons but i think you get the gist |
