I´m on a roll today: YEAR IN REVIEW: Stars shine and fade for local music artists www.nctimes.com/entertainment/music/year-in-review-stars-shine-and-fade-for-local-music/article_26e360f7-d5cc-57ec-abce-f9461159619a.htmlJULY • Speaking of "American Idol," one of the series' most famous contestants, Rancho Penasquitos-raised pop star Adam Lambert, made the list of the show's top-earning alumni. An article in the July issue of Forbes magazine ranked Lambert in second place (tied with rocker Chris Daughtry) behind mega-successful country chanteuse Carrie Underwood, in earnings power among all "Idol" contestants during the past 10 years. (The mega-successful Underwood earned $20 million in 2010.) Lambert's star continued to rise in 2011 with a "Behind the Music" documentary profile on VH1 and judging stints on TV's "Project Runway" and "Majors & Minors." But he finished the year making headlines of a different sort ---- he was arrested and briefly detained after a drunken brawl with his Finnish boyfriend outside a Helsinki nightclub. But now I´m off - I hope

#3. Adam was not faithful to Freddie's phrasing. Of course he wasn't. It was not Adam's intent to reproduce Freddie's performance. It was to interpret the music in an homage. Adam rarely duplicates the original phrasing of a song he covers. Most times, I prefer his phrasing, as it is more meaningful and emotional. But, some people want to hear exactly what they have always heard, and do not like someone "messing with" a great song.
#4. Adam was not faithful to Freddie' style. Again, I say, of course. He isn't a Freddie imitator, he is Adam interpreting some great Queen songs. I'd venture to guess that if Adam had done a Freddie imitation, Freddie fans would have been aghast at the sacrilege of it all. But, if he does his own interpretation, the fans still find fault. Reminds me of Ring of Fire. Did Adam wail? Of course. That is Adam's style. I don't think that Freddie had the pipes or the technique to wail. So, he interpreted things differently. Was the wail inappropriate or contrary to Queen's style? Not to me. To these guys, yes. Apples and oranges. I find it interesting that they said they would prefer Elton John singing TSMGO. He lowered the key by several tones and sang the harmony rather than the melody in parts of the chorus. His style was very different from Freddie's. So, them saying Adam's style was incorrect confuses me.
So glad you addressed these issues, Cassie, because as I read their take, my only response was, "DUH!! Of course not." You were a bit more articulate and knowledgeable than I would have been.
As usual it goes back to people not liking Adam, not liking his style of singing, not wanting ANYONE to replace revered performers. Once the fans realize that, we can reside in a "no angst, no anger, who cares" zone.
