UGH! Between drag queen and Madam I think I'll call it a night. Sorry but Adam is hotter and better looking than most of these straight guys will ever be.

Overall positive review, but I took exception with these 2 sentences.. "To be clear, Lambert is no Freddie Mercury and he’s the first to tell you." "And his soaring vocals don’t fully imitate Mercury’s, but rather suggest them, in the best possible way." And no mention of WWTLF, even though he tweeted at the time.. @rossraihala Adam Lambert sounds pretty incredible singing Who Wants to Live Forever. That second quote got to me, too. Not only does Adam not try to sound like Freddie or sing the song like Freddie did, but his voice sounds very different from Freddie's. Several times I have seen folks comment that Adam sounds almost as good as Freddie. As if that is a huge compliment. What are their ears hearing? Adam's voice is better than Freddie's live in many ways. With Adam's training, his voice is more consistent; it almost never cracks, while that was a problem for Freddie. Adam has more dynamic range, from tender and delicate to powerhouse, while Freddie, from what I have heard of his live recordings, had less flexibility. Adam is more able to sustain notes and phrases. Freddie, for much of his time performing live, struggled with damaged cords, probably due to incorrect technique, smoking, drugs, and illness. As a result, Freddie's onstage range was limited. Adam's is much broader, and again, more consistent. Adam's voice is also more resonant, warmer, richer, and less strident than Freddie's. Freddie's voice was raw with a rasp at times. Adam's tone is crystal clear. The sound is more pleasing to me, but I accept that some folks prefer the sound of Freddie's voice. But, from a vocal technique perspective, trained singers and coaches would tell you that Adam's voice is "better." So, it just gripes my butt to read people praise Adam as singing almost as well as Freddie did. Not up to Freddie's standard, but impressive nonetheless. Grrrrrr. The legend of a dead rock star icon looms large, doesn't it? IMHO. I second everything you said. Is reason I take huge exception to whole he ain’t Freddie thing. No he isn’t he’s better... ymmv

christina91, now that we have a free day, it's tradition to tell us your story on becoming an Adam Lambert fan. Hopefully by the time you read this we will have a new current day thread for you to post in. Also I think you still had questions on what new pictures etc were in this year's concert guide/program. I don't think I've seen a lot beyond the dedications that you reposted etc. You might check back in the daily threads on the 1st two concerts. That's where I think I saw the first, and pretty much only, discussion on the program.
