The castrato thing is just a joke about how high he sings, I've seen it used towards Matt Bellamy, Tom Chaplin, Daniel Bedingfield, even Prince! Lighten up guys! ^^^ This^^^^  |

--------------------------------------------------- Wow. I have been a long time Queen fan. I really thought Brian May was an evolved human. Count me out of his cool club. Curves, castrato perfection, pop voice that sounds like a built in auto-tune, young worker bee. She's making Adam out to be slickly perfect (product of the machine). Where as Brian and Roger are perfect in their unique, beautiful, nuanced imperfection, the mark of true artists. That is just bullshit. Servants of the status quo, playing it safe, lacking the courage to break down the fucking walls! Do you not see what you are doing? On that note: My favorite Bullshit lecturer. Sometimes I just think Adam got lured into a trap with Queen. They are like a venus fly trap for lead singers...Predetermined that no one can live up. But here's some sugar. Come on in. Triangulation. And all the singers end up tarnished by the experience. Instead of flourishing for who they are. Instead of truly being set free. They are instead under the harshest judgement. All that can be felt is "Not Freddie." It truly is a human dynamics trap. Adam is worth more. First, I think the review was overall very positive. Some questionable words used, but not homophobic imo. Does the reviewer see Adam as a polished product? Yes. But still the overall impression of the concert was positive. High praise considering the source. Second, the @brainmaycom twitter is run by Brian May's webmistress and not Brian. The account has tweeted links to pretty much every Queen + AL review including the ones that praised Adam to the heavens while being highly critical of Brian and Roger. To infer that Brian May is not an "evolved human" based on this tweet makes no sense to me. Queen has been doing everything but "playing it safe" for decades. As for Adam singing with Queen, the response has been positive beyond all expectations, from both fans and critics. And it was Adam's choice to take this gig. He went into it knowing the risks. YES YES YES and YES |

And I quite like it as it puts into one word what Adam's voice can do. I also liked the part about how his voice sounds as if it has built in auto-tune. In half a sentence the author grasped what Adam's voice is and what everybody else's voice isn't. |

Professor Harry Frankfurt of Princeton University, On the very important topic of Bullshit. Starts at .21 We shall see if Queen truly gets Adam and is the real thing. Wow, Skylar, I normally am very much in agreement with a lot of your posts, but today you leave me stunned. I think that the Queen concerts were wonderful for Adam in exposure, experience and confidence gained, respect earned, history made and many other ways. I think it was ultimately good for Queen too, because it created a current debate around their music . It has enlivened the fan base of Queen too. As far as your youtube that you posted, I am not sure whether you are referring to your own previous post, or somebody else's post or the article in question. There is clearly some sarcasm, just not clear at whom you are pointing. The article was in my mind double-tongued, but not hateful. I think the author saw the concerts and was somewhat in the Kara-after-ROF stage: Dazed and confused, but kind of happy. I do see the slant in some of her tone, but I don't feel that acknowledging Adam's female side is automatically reason to scream either gay-hate or misogyny. Adam does add a distinctly different vibe to the Queen catalog, both in voice as well as visually and he lets every Queen concert viewer/listener deal with that difference. That is what Adam does, and who he is on stage. The dragon jacket will spell a loud and bright FU to those that don't like that feminine side of Adam, to others it is brilliant gender-bending and entertaining mind-fuck and to others it will be the liberation of man into the gaudy plumage which is the birthright of his sex. With regards to the assumption that both Shoshanna and Brian May had some kind of Venus Flytrap intention when posting this link....I am not even sure where to start, but just tell you my head is spinning even at the suggestion. I think that being in the pop or rock music business has many such potential flytrap moments for any artist. I just watched Katy Perry's <I'm wide awake video> today which deals with both the public and private confusion in her own life, and you can see it there, expressed in just a little pop video. Good video, by the way. Has a lot of parallels with 'Underneath'in message. |

There is something I have to get off my chest.
Two days ago I complained that AFL messed up the lyrics of WWRY every single time, but I have to take that back.
I was watching again the Moscow concert videos and the fast version of WWRY in the opening medley was pretty much perfect, both vocally and lyrically! The second WWRY was mostly right except for a mess up in the last verse. So I was partially wrong and take back the claim of "dozen" lyric fails I made before... :-[
So glad to be wrong! ;D
