Spent just a little bit of time last night watching a few clips of LP. She's ok, but her voice is way too squeaky for me, it's kind of grating after a while...she's got a bit much vibrato for my ears also. I'm generally not a fan of women's voices, except a few, but that squeaky, raspy thing hurts my ears. That's probably why I don't really care for Adele either. In my head I'm always clearing my throat when I listen to them sing. I can definitely see her appeal, especially for people tired of the pop divas, but I really can't see her and Adam singing together...such totally different voices and styles. I just pulled up the Lost on You on YT with 200 million views. Don't like it at all. Her lower range is bearable, but the other is strainy uncomfortable to my ears and her pronunciation of words is muddy. She never opened her eyes or connected with the viewer. I just don't see all the praise for her vocals. What are Adam, Shosh and others hearing? IDK. I'll go try and find another song and see if I like it more.

It's hard to know what other people hear in singers. Her voice wasn't really pleasant to my ears though. I watched her cover of Beyonce's halo, and people in the comments section thought she was much better than the original....I didn't hear it lol. Probably the same reason other people can't always hear what we hear when Adam sings. It's all good...so many different artists, different styles of music...there's a little bit for everybody.

Her voice and style are okay. But it makes me wonder why fans are always trying to find someone for Adam to sing with. He met her and probably could set something up if he wanted so fan intervention is not needed. I want to hear more music from Adam and see where his career will go. Other singers, dancers, friends are nice but I don't really have a major interest in them. He is very good on his own and doesn't always need others for validation. HE has been in demand recently. So much exciting happening for him and for Queen and Adam. Can't wait to see what HIS plans are.

I gotta say that overall, I love the hair. He knows how to wear it hanging down along his face, and he knows how to hold it back like this in this photo. He's got the most versatile hair I've ever seen in a man. I think he'll grow it longer and do some other fun things with it. I'm onboard! I like the edgy, risky Adam the most.

So much exciting happening for him and for Queen and Adam. Can't wait to see what HIS plans are. I listened, too, and to me, her voice is nothing to write home about. But, as we know, the voice is obviously not the only reason why fans love a singer. There is something about her that her fans love. I do like the fact that he has connected publicly with another singer with a pretty large loyal fan base which has now been more exposed to Adam. Who knows? Maybe they will perform together at some point. It probably won't hurt either one of them, and it might help to reach a combined fan base. They are very different, but Adam makes everything work in a duet situation. Just the buzz that their little meet-up has created in a nice thing. Also, I need a little clarification. There was a previous thread that had a paragraph by Brad Lindsay, who has performed with Adam. And he mentioned Adam performing at the ASICS World Series of Beach Volleyball. That's an old performance, right? There was no date on the post, at least that I could see. I assume he was referring to a few years ago. Just making sure. And just a bit more on Adam and LP. I agree, lurleene. Ideally, Adam is at his best as a strong solo act. That's what I want to see him continue to do. Sure, artists often join up with others now and then for a duet or something, but Adam is one of those dominant, stage-filling singers who is at his best when the spotlight stays on him. JMO.

Totally agree with this...it's almost like some think that if he sings with this person or that person that it'll get him more attention or more acclaim. While I can see that it would get him notice from people that might otherwise not be interested, he already has 2 careers, plus lots of side projects. He seems to be pretty busy most of the time. I can't say I became a fan of Tove Lo because he sang a duet with her on TOH.

Fans were clamoring for him to sing it on the Grammy's with Pink. If that were the only way to get him a performance slot then fine. But I wanted him to sing it by himself. Pink was already well established and had performed on the Grammy's many times by herself. But fans wanted him to share the spotlight with her for some reason. I wanted him to have a spotlight of his own. The talk would have been all about her because Adam would not take the song and take it where he wanted it to go with her on stage with him. But it didn't happen so there is that, lol.

@ultclassicrock: 'Bohemian Rhapsody: Part Two?' Sounds like @queenwillrock is at least considering it: trib.al/UaJ6V5nI'm hoping for BR Part 3 which would be about the band carrying on after Freddie's death and the miraculous gift from God that is Adam. Adam could star as himself! Well, that's practically what we are getting in the April 29th documentary, but I want a real movie in theaters!
