Reading some of the comments under a facebook post of the Nessum Dorma clip (I think it was posted on a previous page)... "he's no Pavarotti". Well duh, that one died...same as Freddie. All I could hear was Roger's voice "people are so fucking unimaginative" lol.Exactly! No one ever likes everything that every artist does. And often they are just bitching cause it was good and they don't want to give credit cause they dislike the artist for some reason. I have heard people say MM is better and it always makes me laugh, sorta, lol. There was a guy who is a rock lover on Youtube. He was upset about Queen still touring and with Adam (the guy from AGT of all places, he said). So what if he can sing. He would never accept him and I wonder why. Then again who cares? They are filling up arenas and playing stadiums with Adam as the frontman so there. As long as he wants to do it and Brian and Roger are game, it is not up to that guy. BTW, he hates Stevie Nicks too so I guess Adam is in good company. Ha! |

Cassie, It's so interesting how some people just "don't like" the voice of someone who obviously sings very well. Sometimes, it's not really about the voice, but about other factors. Honestly, there is one very successful Idol alum whose voice I simply cannot abide. And that person gets all kinds of accolades, well-deserved. I just don't feel it with that person. Oh well.
Glad that so many in Adams' extended family are there in Paris. The tour is almost over. And what a triumph!
lurleene, just gotta add from those previous page comments. Of course, you're right. Adam's solo music does not get promoted and doesn't sell well. Nobody knows that better than Adam. Just so frustrating. Hope that next "show album" does well for him.

All I could hear was Roger's voice "people are so fucking unimaginative" lol. I'm finding it difficult to put into words how asinine a comment like "he's no Pavarotti" is in this instance. Without even getting into the merits of Adam's performance, no matter how considerable they were, one thing is blindingly obvious...Pavarotti wasn't just an opera singer, he was known as one of the greatest operatic tenors of all time. Adam? Isn't An Opera Singer. He briefly trained in opera as a teenager. I would argue the opposite argument is more relevant - Pavarotti was no Lambert. Of course he was a brilliant opera singer, but how would he have done as the front man of Queen? How convincing would he have been singing the Adam Lambert catalog? Adam's special sauce isn't just his incredible voice, it's his incredible versatility as well. I don't know enough about opera to evaluate Adam's "Nessun Dorma" in technical terms, but it was gorgeous and absolutely credible. To sing "Fat Bottomed Girls" and "Nessun Dorma" in one concert, and perform both at such a high level, is a rare gift indeed. |

I agree, Cleopatra. I thought it was asinine also.
Sometimes I don't understand why people can't just enjoy a short snippet like that, and take it in the spirit in which it was sung, rather than pick apart, or minimize, or insult? I think it must be social media though, because I see the same things on pretty much every video posted, whether cooking, animals, music, or anything else.
That comment just made me snort though because I instantly heard Roger's voice making that comment from the documentary.
