Cassie, The post you wrote seemed to come straight from my mouth...I agree 100%...you have a right to your opinion and it is a well thought out opinion....I never cared for Mercury's voice and lets face it, he was not very popular here in the U.S...so let those folks over there in fantasy land moan and groan, very few people agree with that little group of people. If they are die hard Queen fans they wouldn't be bad mouthing Adam, because in reality their nastiness does effect Brian and Roger...and it makes those complaining so called Queen fans look ridiculous...so onward and upward Cassie, and never stop telling it the way it is.... I liked Cassie's post, too, and I respect her opinion and agree with it. But it is true that her comments should have stayed right here. When I post here, I feel that I shouldn't worry that my comments will be displayed somewhere else without my permission. I realize people can lurk on a site even if they're not a member who can post. With all the Freddie/Adam hoopla that has gone on the past six years, I know this too will die down. Just gotta wait it out. Cassie I agree with you 100% I wouldn't worry about the other place. Some of the people there actually admit they love to make nasty comments on Adam's and Brian's posts because they like to stir the pot. One, in particular said it makes him feel good. Most of them have never gone to a live Queen concert and the future is with the younger fans who DO appreciate QAL. I think Brian and Roger know all of this. The comments were much worse in the beginning and still they moved forward with QAL. I guess we have to be a little careful of what is said because we never know who reads this and that's sad.

I have the oldest avi around and this isn't a very good Adam photo. Somehow I made it work but would like something new. Can someone lead me to a new 2018 avi (although I do like to reminisce about the non melvin look lol (as if that matters, my son and grandsons have beards now). I like your avi but if you visit the 2018 pic thread right here at Atop you will find some beautiful choices. adamtopia.com/thread/4501/pic-thread-pretty-handle-2018

Thanks for the advice. Maybe I should keep the oldest avi ever for old time's sake, ha ha. Don't let Queen fans bogged down in the past worry you. They are missing wonderful Adam's beautiful voice and the beauty of the QAL shows. My daughter says "How come whenever I see you, you are wearing Adam shirts? Well, they are comfy and have happy memories. Since the Park shows, I have 3 new ones and bought them with money I won on the slot machine!

I don't get the Beyonce obsession. Same. I also had the impression, that itâs more Adamâs friends, who are crazy about her. Some of them post often about her music and/or have her poster in their home. I didnât notice that with Adam... I saw a very interesting youtube video by a gay man about their love of Divas. It actually goes back to earlier obsessions with Judy Garland, Liza Minelli, Ethel Merman. Beyonce and Gaga are the new generation's heroines because of their "in your face" attitude. Great videos if you like musicals by Musical Theatre Mash. www.youtube.com/watch?v=-gDVfjj1Wa4&list=PLkUsqr1FIaGFE5Z8lhBMb2i8PlYl9ILoW&index=2

I don't post often and I wasn't going to comment on the Adam/Freddie thing but I changed my mind. I have been a Queen fan for around 37 years since I was 7 years old and Freddie's voice and their harmonies is what sucked me in. Yes, Freddie has been dead for almost 27 years but he is arguably one of if not the most iconic frontman In rock history. Freddie is loved by people around the world including many people in the US and I think that is indisputable. However, Queen was four people and despite what the haters who never wanted the band to continue think, the show did go on as Freddie wrote. It is outright slander for so-called Queen fans to crucify Brian and Roger for continuing on and is completely unfair to them.
Without knowing him or ever seeing him live I think Freddie would have been damn proud of his surviving bandmates and the legacy that they have carried on. I am guessing Freddie would have loved Adam and it is impossible to compare their voices other than to state that Adam is technically superior by far. Their voices are completely different and whose is better is strictly opinion. Personally, I think they are both amazing for entirely different reasons. Nonetheless, I understand the need for Adam to reference Freddie and honor him but I am hoping he can change up the speech next go around.
I have seen QAL 17 times so I am as big of a fan as anyone. Adam is astoundingly amazing and mind-blowing. Coming from the Queen side I have massive respect for the legacy that Freddie created yet have equally massive respect for the legacy that QAL has created over the past 6+ years. There are days that I want to hear only the original Queen tunes and other days where I only want to hear QAL. Nobody strikes lightning twice as I recently told a friend but since Brian and Roger founded the band and hired Freddie and then hired Adam, they made history and we are all witnesses.
Just my two cents.
