1975: h ttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=55QqO5rtbC0 That's the piece I was talking about where Freddie had really bad goat vibrato. I can't imagine anyone thinking that this sounds good even if they prefer Freddie's vibrato over Adam's. Listen to around :30, :41, :53, 1:04, etc. Adam's NEVER sounded that bad to me, even in the EMAs. Adam's vibrato is always controlled and it is NEVER "bad". NEVER. I can't recall one time when it bothered me. Vibrato, used correctly, is a necessary singing "tool" and again, Adam applies it appropriately. The ignorant comments by Freddie purists are just that - examples of pure and willful ignorance. There are so many vocal inadequacies in the above 1975 performance that it is truly painful to listen to. I guess it wasn't the best night for Freiddie. But the reason I posted it was that it was the only BoRap/KQ medley I could find on YT. I am sure Talon would know if and where else it'e been used and he might even know whose original idea that particular medley was. |

1975: h ttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=55QqO5rtbC0 thanks for the Queen video. I've never seen it. So, who thinks with me, that they are practicing 'march of the black queen' as we speak, just to add that in as well? Both Brian and Roger have made comments in recent times, that Adam can handle the complete Queen catalog, that there is nothing they cannot throw at him. I think, that both Brian and Roge are trying to challenge Adam further. And I think they might do it by bringing even more variety into their concerts, by both adding on one hand more dialed back/ story-telling kind of songs (i.e. Drowse) and on the other hand, adding material that brings even more drama, and MOTBQ certainly would deliver that in spades. It could happen. |

I listened to it and thought it was painful, too. In fact, I couldn't listen to the whole thing. I know that later in his career Freddie's voice was supposedly blown out because of abuse, nodules, too much smoking and drinking, etc. But, on the flip side, the later live performances sounded like he was more in control of his voice than this clip. |

Speaking of fierce Adam. I know Adam has the ability to make people think that he is looking at them, even singing to them. But I've been front row at one GNT and and I didn't imagine the eye contact. I had met him at the M&G and his eyes were very gentle and soft. When I first saw his eyes on stage, I couldn't look at them. They were so 'fierce' that it startled me - that lazer beam intensity - and all I felt was dissonance from the eyes I'd looked into an hour or so before. But I adjusted  . At my second QAL concert I was pretty close to the stage and during Radio Ga Ga the lights flashed over the crowd. There were those fierce eyes looking at me again for a second or two. It made the hairs on the back of my neck stand up - I actually thought he was 'angry' with me - which is completely ridiculous, but that was my immediate response. I guess it's different when he looks at you when he is all smiley or tender. Anyone know what I'm talking about? I think there are a lot of people who know what you're taking about, nikki! How many years ago was Adam/GNT in Hawaii? Four years? I remember NoAngel was there, and she had a M&G with Adam before the concert. Then, she tweeted this during the concert: NoAngelPF How is this the same human person from the M&G???? Fucking alien unicorn freak. Sorry about the fucking swearing. Fuck.  |

That video is from the 1975 Queen Christmas Eve Concert -- Hammersmith Odeon, December 24, 1975. It is a very famous Queen concert. The setlist included the BR-KQ-BQ medley -- which I believe was Freddie's idea. Bohemian Rhapsody (Ballad section with guitar solo) Killer Queen The March of the Black Queen Bohemian Rhapsody (Reprise) I would really like to hear this redone again. ** The concert was broadcast live on BBC TV. Here is the video of the concert.... Setting aside the vocal discussion for a moment --- the entire band was spectacular for this tour and concert. Check out Bri and Rogers featured songs. |

It's after midnight, so I thought I would sneak in a completely OT post. But, seeing as I am a mod, I will try to connect it to something remotely related to Adam's world. We lament about the lack of substance in many of the current pop songs. We have also talked about how pop singers often get credit for "writing" songs that they made very little contribution to. (Not Adam, of course.) So, what does it take to compose a great song? Or a top 40 hit? (Not often the same things.) Here's an example of what can be done by a talented composer, working with an before undiscovered talent. In April of 2009, Lithuanian conductor, composer and music educator Mindaugas Piečaitis contacted Philadelphia musicians and artists Betsy Alexander and Burnell Yow! by email regarding creating a children's concert piece using footage of their cat Nora. Nora had taught herself to play piano after watching Betsy teach for about one year. At that time, Nora's YouTube video had already been viewed by millions of people all over the world. Intrigued, Betsy and Burnell worked with Mindaugas to set up an online account to exchange existing and new video footage of Nora's unique talent. After he created a multimedia piece by splicing various sections of Nora's playing into one continuous musical piece, the composer created an orchestral accompaniment. ht tp://youtu.be/zeoT66v4EHg Okay, okay, so it is totally OT. My bad. I should delete myself.  |

Yes, this was the last BBC TV Live performance by Queen -- and I think that the inclusion of the BR-KQ-BR medley was quite intentional and an homage to this concert. |
