Right click, SAVE! This is a nice one. I have more photos of Adam on my computer than all of my family members COMBINED!  I'm kinda embarrassed to admit how many pics of Adam are on my computer, actually I haven't counted, but it is in the 1000s!!! |

Thanks for your recap Cassie. I always look forward to your observations. I've learned a lot from your critiques. One thing for sure is that I never realized all there is to singing well!
One other thing I noticed about Adam's "freedom" when he sings with Queen is that he's not busy orchestrating all the other things -- he seemed to really be managing a lot of things when he went out on his Trespassing tour. He can just sing and let Brian and Spike handle the rest.

@kwpheaney
@adamlambert: "The amount of raw talent in Adam's voice is unbelievable.
Dear kwpheaney,
Not to be a contrarian and in no way making light of your statement; but that is pure, well-honed, well-studied, hard-work talent right there.
Respectfully,
A Glambert

I have a special Adam/Queen external hard drive full of photos and videos all categorized in folders by song, era, interviews, etc. |

Who the hell is Adam Lambert?January 3, 2015 Who the hell is Adam Lambert? That’s something we’ve been trying to tell the world for a while now. Adam is the winner of American Idol. Well, he was a contestant who came second in 2009, but he’s the winner of the show generally in that it got his phenomenal talent noticed by none other than Queen. Now Adam is fronting the legendary rockers, and doing a great job of it too. Adam’s performance with Brian May and Roger Taylor on New Year’s Eve got people talking about our favourite singer, with many asking who he was. Once upon a time, we had no idea who Adam Lambert was either. It wasn’t until he jumped off stage at one of his gigs and locked lips with members of the audience that we learned of his existence…. then we heard his voice. His incredible, unforgettable voice. We love Adam as a solo artist, but his work with Queen is just blowing us away. Freddie Mercury was just such a huge character with an even bigger voice, and what we love about Adam is that isn’t trying to fill Freddie’s shoes. Adam has his own amazing shoes, and he’s really doing his own, amazing thing while still paying a fitting tribute to Queen’s songs. His chemistry with the original members is amazing, his stage presence is incredible to watch and his voice is flawless. It doesn’t hurt that Adam is a lovely person, a philanthropist and one of the sexiest men we have ever laid eyes on. It fills us with joy to see everyone falling at his feet after his epic NYE performance, although there are a few criticising him. With some saying he’ll never replace Freddie, and others branding him nothing more than a karaoke singer – an obviously insulting nod to his time on American Idol – we would say this: first of all, he’s not trying to replace Freddie. Secondly, if I could sing karaoke that well, do you know what I’d do? Become a professional effing singer. Lap it up, people. Adam is here, he’s sounding better than ever and we know he’ll only go from strength to strength from here. Link: www.fleckingrecords.co.uk/2015/01/who-the-hell-is-adam-lambert.html

Cassie, thank you for your comments on Adam's performance. It always makes me see things differently, when I look through the lens you create from your own mastery. I am curious about something in Adam's voice and wondered if you had a view. There are times his voice seems to break out of the "ordinary scale" and become "electric and soaring". It seems to channel something beyond human. Do you see that too? And what does it take for a human being to do THAT? Anjalee I see it too. It's what I call Adam's "angel voice". I can't explain it or know where it comes from. One example for me was the sound check for Jimmy Kimmel a few years ago. We were all waiting in line when suddenly this sound just poured out over the skies and the streets of Hollywood filling the whole space and coming in to my very soul. It was a banal song "Never Close Our Eyes", but his power and the pure ringing quality of his voice transformed it into something special sounding like it was coming from the heavens. When he was finished, I was brought back down to earth as he laughed when he heard our applause. There have been other times when I've experienced this, so this is just one example. I think this may be a reason why people hearing Adam for the first time have this OMG reaction - it can hit you deep. But how he does it, I don't know, but I feel it is the very essence of music. |
