It all comes down to our personal preferences. I think, that most people believe, what they are saying. Although Adam is a technically better singer than Marc or Paul, that doesn't mean, that he appeals to everyone. Many simply don't like his tone. And since most people don't know much (if anything) about singing, they confuse "being better" with "I like his singing better". That's my take on it. There are some people on Facebook that say he has no talent and one who responds to every positive comment with name-calling, attacks his looks, and that he's a goat. Seriously, since the EMA's, I have not heard any excessive vibrato from Adam so I am still trying to figure out what he is talking about. And I've heard some excessive vibrato from Freddie on YouTube. I can imagine that it is more frustrating than effective to reason with fans of other artists about Adam's vocal technique. They either like him or not. And if I put myself in their shoes, I basically act the same when it comes to other artists. (Adam is winning over new fans every day, which could increase at a higher rate if he finds more ways to "connect". A killer new single and some TV gigs that let his personality "shine" would probably do the trick)

Seriously, since the EMA's, I have not heard any excessive vibrato from Adam so I am still trying to figure out what he is talking about. And I've heard some excessive vibrato from Freddie on YouTube. I know that one. He's just a troll. He attacks Brian and Roger as well. I know him from the German Queen-fanclub forum and after he was banned there, I unfortunetly found out, that he went on to QueenZone and is now terrorizing the QAL-section there. Queen-fans despise him as well. His only aim is to annoy Adam- and QAL-fans and make them leave the forum (he even said so). Don't give 2 fuxx on what he's saying! He's not worth thinking twice about the rubbish, he writes. He doesn't even have much knowledge about Queen. I think, his obsession with Adam is absolutely sick - and I don't understand it. Because, as you wrote, he hates on every post on the official Queen-facebook page as well as in the forum. For 7 years! He has been banned from QueenOnline by the way. On the contrary, I'm regularly on Queen-sites and I find, that most Queenies are completely OK with Adam by now. Many learned to like him , some simply got used to him and some ignore the collaboration. It's all fine. And there will always be some haters. The more success Adam has, the more haters he will have - as well as fans. Don't let them (the few haters) get at you! . Thanks, nightowl. Would you mind PMing me his username on QZ? I read over there too. To be honest, I have been pleasantly surprised at how much positive comments there are about Adam on FB. They really are about 80-90% positive and when I see an angry face on a positive comment, when I actually open it to see the total number of them, there are very few. A lot with just one angry face so I think that is the goat troll. Tons of comments like "I didn't know what to expect but was pleasantly surprised". And what I don't remember seeing so much before as I do now is the Queen fans actually defending Adam.

I also experienced during the last years, that longtime Queen-fans can’t be convinced of Adam by overly invested glamberts, that „flood“ their stomping grounds (aka forums ect). Many were more convinced after they got to know his personality. It‘s even more of a plus than his singing, because most Queenies simply prefer Freddie. And nobody can change that. Some „annoying glamberts“ reached rather the opposite, and made Queenies really dislike Adam, although they don’t have anything against the man himself (that’s how some explained their feelings to me). In the end, everybody has his/her own taste and one should simply accept it. They will eventually come along all by themselves. 😉. Good music from Adam will also appeal to many people‘s tastes. 😉

There were a couple that seemed to feed off of each other.

There were a couple that seemed to feed off of each other. lol...I even think they may be the same person actually...I find them and the characters from QOL quite entertaining, although all of them are too repetitive and predictable at this point...and one is just too long-winded and self-centered... I feel bad for Bri and Roger though, too much hatred directed at them for just living their lives to the fullest... ...those forums are a great example of what happens when either the moderators suck (QOL) or there is no moderation at all (QZ)... makes me appreciate the difficulty of being a decent moderator capable of dealing with the nutcases ....

No, not the same person. Unfortunately the newer (and much extremer) troll is from Germany. I read his posts on a German forum, where I only occasionally read. People asked him repeatedly to leave and a few weeks ago, he did just that and created his account on QZ. Now I can “enjoy“ all his translations of Adam „name-callings“ into English 🙄.

I stopped visiting the Queen forum after the first QAL tour. Never posted only read. I found nothing enjoyable or interesting about the level of envy and hatred directed at Adam, all because he stepped into a position previously held by someone who had been dead for over 20 years. Brian and Roger wanted to continue touring with Adam and that is their right. Those disgruntled fans had no say. They could either buy a ticket or stay home, complain and listen to old Queen tapes. Thankfully they are over there and not here, using their childish rants to spoil the wonderful collaboration of Queen and Adam. The guys are pleasing themselves and many fans and making a ton of money. That is pretty much all that really matters. Wish we could hear something definite about Vega. Hope to hear something soon about solo Adam as well.
