I love this collaboration for obvious reasons and I'm thrilled that Queen is back in the spotlight in a big way. I want to hear solo music as well but honestly, if my guy was being showered with praise all over the place, I would love it, no matter where it was coming from. I do agree that Adam's name in association with Queen should always be separate; it allows him to stand out. I dunno; I guess my perspective is a little twisted re: QAL. If liking the Queen + Adam Lambert designation with Adam treated as a separate, important part of this collaboration is twisted, then I guess I am a little twisted too!  |

Actually, that's the sane part, LOL. What I was getting at is that and maybe it's a bit twisted is that I'm not tired of QAL by any means and will ride it out until the window of opportunity closes. I think Adam is winning with this collaboration beyond our comprehension. |

Everybody's different but I decided about a week ago that the butt-hurt Freddie fans are dead to me. Makes life easier. Not my circus. Not my monkeys. Repeat. |

There can be no fact about comparing frontmen or vocalist in any meaningful way. You can measure the frequency of the notes and the volume of the notes -- beyond that it is a matter of taste and preference. I am respectful of people who prefer Freddie. I am respectful of people who prefer Adam. But just measured on vocal range (frequencies emitted by a singer) and power (dB), Axl Rose is the greatest vocalist to ever sing with Queen. Thankfully it is about more than frequencies because I am not a huge Axl fan. I think Freddie and Adam are incomparable. And Adam with the current Queen line-up is great. .... The full, very long post is posted on page 7. Cheers for the info I am not as knowledgeble haha. What I meant re Adams vocal range, Rob Cavallo said he can hit every note on the guitar. He has not got the highest voice in terms of vocal range. But IMO his low to high range, and his ability to go so low to so high in matter of seconds, is second to none. Freddie was more gritty in his tone. But it is more a preferance thing. Adam so suits Queen though, I guess I am just shocked at the response to this Collab, is it really that big of deal? Adams theatrical style is more current for this generation. I don't see Freddie performing that well currently. I mean could you imagine Brian playing on Freddie's piano lol? With Adam I feel it is much more looser and funner. With Freddie back in their hayday they were such a serious band. A standard-tuned, 6-string guitar with a 22-fret board has is not quite four octaves. .....not unheard of. Adam is one in a billion -- but that has to be about more than range and dynamics. Axl Rose (Guns N' Roses) has a range of nearly six octaves, from F1 (in There Was a Time) in the second-lowest octave in scientific pitch notation, to B flat 6 (Ain't it Fun), five octaves above it. Rose has a lower baritone than Barry White, and can reach higher notes than Tina Turner and Beyoncé. Bono "only" has a 3-octave range but his ability to build an emotional moment is stunning. Here's a cool interactive chart about vocal range. Some of my favorite vocalists are in the 3- to 3-1/2 octave range. time.com/105319/compare-vocal-ranges-of-worlds-greatest-singers/*** JMHO if 28 year old Freddie Mercury arrived in Madison Square Garden today, he would probably be pretty much in step with the time. Freddie not theatrical? This is from 1987 and includes many of Freddie's looks from his career --- plus, a bonus: Roger Taylor in drag. youtu.be/ILQMwcKXP7MThis is the video that Adam did an homage to when he performed "Feeling Good" on Idol. youtu.be/Zo1eMyv2qZM |
