QueenZone discussion #1558591

snifflese wrote: Not trying to start an argument, but I read that at times Freddie could hit notes and sing them in a studio recording where there were multiple takes, but couldn't sing the same thing at a show. Brian said something recently that supports that (can't recall what article as I have read so many lately) about Adam being able to sing songs with certain notes that Freddie couldn't do live. Honestly, WWTLF is Adam's best Queen song and I have read from a couple of teachers and opera critics that Adam can sing that song in a manner which some of the 5 top tenor opera singers in the world would find hard to do. No, I am not exaggerating or trying to "big" him up (per Icy), but there have been many discussions about Adam's voice and that particular song. That is why I wish Adam would sing at least classical music as that is where his voice shines, a pure beautiful tenor voice. Just like Freddie does the rock so much better, Adam really sings this kind of a song beautifully. Everyone has a sweet spot in there vocal range.

snifflese wrote: Icy, Caroline and I are not bigging Adam up. It is only in reply to Runner's stupid constant whining about Adam's thin voice. Why don't you tell runner to cut it out? Why is it OK for him to criticize Adam but we can't point out why he is full of crap? Adam has an amazing voice that sings over 2 hours every night of this tour and he doesn't hit bum notes and the standard of singing each note is just the same. It is magnificent. There are hardly any singers that could do the same. Yep, if you guys can always criticize we can rebut your comments. This bigging up crap is so silly. Whether you guys believe it or not, we are allowed to state why runner doesn't have a clue. Pointing out the facts is not bigging up. It just gets tiresome to read things that are patently untrue!

In fact she is usually fangirling all of the members and love the concerts. I have no problem with her. I don't like the people who are so ugly on this forum. It is fine to have a different opinion, but they are just crude and rude and it doesn't have to be that way.

SweetCaroline wrote: Icy, go back to QOL where YOU can post paragraphs and paragraphs of Adam bitching without getting accused of spamming but if I post a nice tweet from Brian or something complimentary about them, I get told not to spam.

snifflese wrote: You obviously need a hearing aid, runner. I am a huge opera and classical fan who knows and appreciates that type of music and is familiar with the strength and quality of the operatic voice. Trust me, Adam's voice is as good or better than the majority of male tenor voices. My kids were huge metal fans, playing in bands and I ferried them to concerts many, many times. So I have heard Ozzy, Judas Priest Iron Maiden and a lot of other bands and Adam's voice rivals any of them, although Bruce's voice is amazing, but it is a deeper voice. My younger son is a big Avantasia, Dream Theater and Muse fan (has seen them all) and he thinks Adam is just as good and his metal shriek is as good or better than any of them. His voice is anything but thin. Tell yourself that to make yourself feel better, but that observation is a load of crap. I have seen Adam at least 10 times in his solo shows and both Queen tours. There is nothing thin about his voice. He has a high voice, but it is resonant and full. It isn't Freddie's baritone voice, so it won't be the same. You can't compare two voices that are different kinds of voices. An alto will not sound like a soprano, but that doesn't make the soprano's voice thin. Can't you get that through your thick head?

SweetCaroline - You get told not to spam on QOL, because you are an unashamed link spammer, and your spam links are usually the entirety of your posts. On the rare occasions you actually "discuss", it is to insult or harangue posters whose opinions do not measure up to your "ideals". You may not be as disgusting as runner or sparks, but you are still the 3rd biggest troll on QZ.

snifflese wrote: Icy, As I have said before I have read for close to 10 years on QOL and quite a while on here. I see who it is that goes on and on and is often really pretty ugly in what she says. This person also keeps bringing up old stuff and getting snide digs in that everyone else is tired of. When I compare that to posting tweets, reviews, etc, and calling someone Trump, the verdict for me isn't even close. Read the two posts above me and see who goes on and on. Yes, Icy, I do like to be civil to you. I am sure there is a lot going on in your life and it is not fun for you and I am so sorry, truly. But as an unbiased person, you really have a thing for Caroline and I am not trying to be mean. Somehow she just gets your goat, but at some point it would just be nice to avoid reading each other's posts otherwise this will go on forever, heaven forbid!! Then maybe we ladies could all get along, as that would be really nice.

jrd1951 wrote: A good review here,and about time.Regarding WWTLF Adam can sing the notes but nobody can compare to Freddie in terns of emotion and power.Listen to the Highlander Freddie version(sorry Brian) at full blast and a decent sound system and I think that is the most fantastic piece of singing of all time.But live Freddie's voice was often shot and he had to tone it down.Adam hasn't lost a note yet,I think his training shows through here.

I saw them last night in Nashville and one of the best shows I have seen, and I was around in the 60s and 70s and saw the Beatles, Rolling Stones, Led Zepplin, etc. The artful presentation, the unbelievable special effects, the astonishing guitar playing by Brian, the almost perfect pacing, and a wonderful setlist that doesn't pander to the American crowd (some deep cuts and several international hits that weren't hits in the US). No one can replace Adam and there will always be a backlash against anyone who tries, but Adam definitely has some highlights in his performance as well. Bravo!

gandorb wrote: And yes Holly, I did see the Beatles. My family was vacationing in Rome in 1965, and took me (I was7) to see them in some theatre there. One of my biggest memories of the show was just how piercing the screaming was. At one point, I screamed too and then was freaked out because I couldn't hear my scream.
