Yup so true Cassie..I think Adam's talent is a given. As Brian even said, to paraphrase, sometimes I take Adam's voice for granted...sometimes. I don't think Adam has any worries ,he is getting more and more known by the day..I find him very much appreciated for his major talent Just look at all the press he got for' Believe' among other well noted performances.. From time to time I forget how successful and well known and loved Adam is around the world.He is truly one lucky talented guy to have climbed that ladder to the stars...one in a million No , you're not twisted. I feel kind of the same way. Adam doesn't seem to be on Rami's Queen-radar at all. I do think at least a brief mention of QAL would have been courteous of Rami. That being said, I like Rami. Never saw Mr. Robot or anything, but he apparently made a hit out of it. Playing Freddie is his real breakthrough role. I see big things coming for Rami. Did I miss something? I was under the impression that the movie primarily used Freddie's actual voice for most of the singing, and a little of Marc Martel, but not much. Please correct me if I misunderstood. I guess if I was a Marc fan, I'd want a lot of attention to be pointed at him. But I thought most of the singing we heard was Freddie's own voice. And also, this whole discussion about competing allegiances to Marc, Adam, Rami and who should play whom and who sounds more like whom and who is "better," etc. is really kind of annoying me but it's totally what fans do: support their favorite artist against all others. I think the choices that were made all around were the right ones. Marc for Queen Extravaganza: best choice. Rami as Freddie for the film: best choice. Adam as frontman for the actual band: best choice by far. The rest is just fan craziness which turns into ugliness at times. I am sometimes guilty of feeling some animosity toward someone from time to time. It's just human. Like I said, I kind of wish Rami had at least mentioned Adam's name ONCE, especially in light of the fact that Adam has praised Rami very generously. In an interview, Brian May said that they had recorded a good deal of Feddie vocals with Marc, but then they found more original Freddie vocals and used those instead. So in the end, they did not use very much of the Marc vocals that were recorded.

Doesn't have to be social media. Could have been an interview. As SophieB suggested and girldrummer said, "Like I said, I kind of wish Rami had at least mentioned Adam's name ONCE, especially in light of the fact that Adam has praised Rami very generously." Wasn't suggesting kissing up to anyone. I seem to recall that Rami DID mention Adam in his QAL role in one interview. But I don't remember which one. That's great. Hope someone finds that interview and posts it.

I'm sure Marc's fans would have loved for Marc's voice to have been in the movie a lot, and probably lots of his fans like that it is. Thanks for clarifying it. I had a feeling that it was Freddie's voice for the most part.

Meant "THINK that it is." Not "like." Makes a big difference in my point.

I don’t recall Rami ever mentioning Adam. Rami has seen several QALs - I sat within feet of him at two concerts and could see him having a great time. Yet..i’ve not seen even a passing reference to Adam. Rami would undoubtedly be aware of the Marc Martel fans antagonism towards Adam. (Edit: referencing Rami’s super-enthusiastic praise of Marc last night) Adam saw the film and praised Rami effusively. Rami saw Adam perform in concert with Queen several times and... Given his relationship with Brian and Roger I would have thought it a simple professional courtesy for Rami to reference their tour and chosen frontman. It’s what social media is all about. I am obviously bitter and twisted. Very happy to be told I am wrong and that Rami has said nice things I’ve missed. (and yes, I know the world doesn’t revolve around Adam and the film was about Freddie - not my point ) I would like the world to extol the vocal prowess and the showmanship of Adam. He should be a household name. Having said that, to me the movie is completely separate from Adam Lambert, despite his fun little cameo. The movie is also entirely separate from the current QAL show. The movie is about Freddie, and the evolution of Queen over 30 years ago. Commenting on the current performances of Adam with Queen makes no sense to me in the context of the movie. As to who comments on Adam, is there the assumption that if we don't read a tweet, instagram or interview quote that a person has not made comment about Adam? Could it be it just didn't make the edit for the article? Could it be that a comment was made and missed? Could it be that raving about Adam goes without saying? Could it be that Rami is not all that interested in or knowledgeable about vocal prowess? Yes, we want the world to fall at Adam's feet. But, I think he is doing very well as it is. And gorgeous, sexy, vocal god Adam would be all kinds of wrong for the role of Freddie in the movie. Hi Cassie....have only just seen your reply... i agree that that to comment on Adam makes no sense in the ‘context of the movie’. Rami has seen Adam perform many times and indisputably they have a link of whatever kind through Brian and Roger. I am surprised that he has never acknowledged Adam - especially since Adam has acknowledged Rami’s professional work a number of times. Regarding your point about ‘assumptions’ re tweets etc....I think we do that all the time. We comment on things that are noticed, brought here, found largely undiscovered. Assumptions are implicit in the knowledge that we have. We can never have it all. Sometimes it may even be the right thing for someone to ensure that their communications ARE noticed....thank yous, acknowledgements etc. And since you you have added your final lines to your response under my quote...please allow me to say yet again...that Adam in this role would have been a nightmare for me. Not suitable at all...and Rami was perfect.
