snifflese wrote: Keep telling yourself that while other Queen fans are seeing the light and realizing Adam brings a lot, just different, to the Queen catalog.. Just read a tweet from a big burly older dude who said he totally underestimated Adam. A lot of that going on! Plus almost all the tweets mention that voice, which tweets for other artists never do. You are totally out alone in left field kicking rocks, while everyone else is enjoying this wonderful tour. Your loss!

It takes all three, Brian, Roger and Adam and the backup guys to make it work. There is no way you can do a show like that without a skilled singer, no way. The thing I find most remarkable is the fact that Adam's voice sounded every bit as strong, if not stronger, on the last date, as he did on the first appearance in Vancouver. I listened to many of the streams and watched several periscopes, including the last two nights and you could not detect any fatigue or difference in his singing. He holds back a bit at times with some of the biggest notes, but that must be done to conserve the voice. But no one who was a casual concert goer would ever know, as the singing is still spectacular. He was off the charts last night with the biggest riffs and high, held out notes. It truly is amazing, as most singers would have severe vocal strain at that point. Most modern singers couldn't get through a couple of shows with the range required in Queen's catalog. That is for me, the perhaps the most outstanding characteristic of his voice, the ability to do this night after night to the same high standard. I would have to say Brian and Roger didn't miss a step either! They are truly amazing, in particular, Brian who is playing his fingers off and rushing all over that stage. I don't know how he does it! It brought tears to my eyes to see Brian and Roger step forward together, arm in arm, at the end of the show for their bows. It gives me chills to think about these two older gents who still do what they love at their age and bring such joy to everybody! One other thing I noticed is that Adam can finally sing TSMGO well! That was the one song that I didn't think he really had a handle on. It has been hit or miss over the years and just wasn't there where it should be. But the last few shows it has been spectacular. He is finally inhabiting that song and it is going up to the ranks of WWTLF as one of my favorite songs. It took quite a few years for Adam to do it properly, but that song was the one where I really noticed the most improvement. I will miss listening to the concerts. I do so wish they would release a DVD. I don't get their aversion to doing that as I think it would be a tremendous seller. A girl has to hope. It will be on my Christmas list this year! Are you listening, Santa??

snifflese wrote: I do agree with you, Rockchic, that Adam has learned the lesson of less is sometimes more! It is one thing you notice when you compare videos from the beginning to now. I mentioned it in a post regarding a youtube Brancelli had posted a few days ago. A vocal coach was critiquing Adam's voice and they were all old Idol and early day's videos. It is very apparent he does not usually sing like that anymore, which is a good thing. Sometimes he was a bit over the top and things like "Satisfaction" and the AMA were shrieky which is a word I never associate with Adam anymore. Oversinging lessens the impact when he does hit a really high note or has a cool riff. You don't even notice it among all the many vocal flourishes. However, he still does tone things down whether it is to preserve his voice or save it for a special show. That is always the case up here in NE as the next show is usually Madison Square Garden (or it was right before it) and he always goes balls to the wall just like in LA at the forum. He sings his heart out in all his shows, but that special high note or the elongation of a riff or going down where he might go up are things he is more apt to do at certain shows. I noticed in the Boston show again that although he sounded spectacular there were a few special things missing. And later on ATOP the ladies were mentioning how Adam was holding back for MSG. That is just the way it is. Often the first night of 2 where he is singing has a few more embellishments. He can't go all out all the time, but there does seem to be a pattern about where he really lets it fly. At first that bothered me, but the differences are minimal and I am sure LA And NY just have this special magic that brings the beast out in all of them. Those are the shows where his parents attend and most of his friends, so there is going to be a little extra something. And, of course, on a back to back (which half of the shows were), they might be a little more tired. That said, The guys put on a fabulous show every night at a standard hardly any other band can meet. I am just happy to be able to attend any show!! Mine was out of this world with Brian leading the way! Sorry, Miracle, but I just totally disagree with you. Brian and Roger were never the lead singers even back when they were young and had the stamina for it. Nowadays there is no way they could pull something like that off. They need a great singer to produce a great show. They have mentioned it before that to do a show they had to perform at a certain level and they never thought they would, as they didn't have a singer. Unless the show could be like before with a great singer and all the bells and whistles, they didn't want to do it. It is the idea of "if you can't do it right, don't do it all", which is something my Dad taught me also. Too bad more people don't subscribe to that, as there are way too many people satisfied nowadays with mediocrity. Once they found a great singer, they could move on to planning a fabulous show and it became fun again for them. As far as this guest business, Brian has started to introduce Adam as their new brother. I think he is family and part of the group nowadays!!

Lameturds voice is as annoying as the forst time he destroyed q Queen song. He cannot deliver a hard rock song (and Queen have plenty of those): His voice in (semi-)Ballads is totally powerless (just listen to "Save me" it sounds like elevator music when he is siniging it - totally lifeless while Freddie was putting his heart and soul in it) and he still annoys the hell out of me while doing his vocal acrobatics espeically in WATC/WWRY and many others . Oversinging at its very worst
