Ninja-ed by cassie! I came to the thread to post the same video. I found it delightful! |

I am pleased that this vocalist is very impressed with Adam with Queen. I also agree that seeing them in concert is a wonderful opportunity. HOWEVER, I am so tired of people comparing Adam to Freddie and saying that no one can compare, but he does a good job.
This guy goes further and talks about how similar Adam's singing is to Freddie's. WTF??? No, Adam's voice is NOT similar to Freddie's.
1. Freddie was a high baritone. Adam is a high tenor.
2. Freddie can sing lower than Adam. But, Adam can comfortably and reliably sing higher than Freddie (tenor, right?).
3. Adam's vibrato is quite different from Freddie's. Slower and more controlled.
4. Adam's tone is quite different from Freddie's. To me, Freddie sounds more astringent and strained. Adam's, while it can be bright, is not brittle. His voice has more harmonic richness. It has a purer, more ringing, resonant sound.
5. Adam's breath control is stronger and more managed.
6. Adam's technique is much more developed, controlled, and consistent. Very rarely does his voice crack, or miss a note. His passaggio (shift from chest to mixed to head voice) is smoother without discernable breaks.
7. Adam can sing every Queen song in the catalog live, in the original key and with all the highest notes. Freddie couldn't.
8. Adam's voice is healthy. Freddie's often wasn't.
IMHO, Freddie as the best singer in rock/pop music is largely a myth. Increased since his death. Yes, he was good. And his composing skills are legendary. His stage presence was huge. Taking nothing away from his legacy. But, please stop comparing Adam to Freddie as a second-best stand in for Freddie.

He has been deified in his death. Yes, he was a great writer. But, somtimes I think people don't realize (or don't want to admit) he DID NOT write all of Queen's music. I am a great Queen fan. They are my favorite band of all time. Yet, I wasn't a great Freddie fan. He was part of the band. Yes, a prolific writer and great stage presence. But these "reactors" should stop comparing them. Adam is not competing, and, IMO, Adam is better than Freddie ever was - and different. |

But I‘ve one question (no idea, if you know the answer): I watched another video where Adam‘s and Freddie‘s voices were compared. To my and I think everyone’s surprise it showed that Adam‘s lowest notes that he sang live are actually lower than Freddie’s. While Freddie’s voice in general sat naturally lower, Adam can sing lower than Freddie? This had puzzled me years ago and I‘m still wondering, if it’s really true? Maybe because Adam hardly ever uses his lower voice. youtu.be/v1MivyMbKwE?si=-YrfWQFlcKskRJCu (I‘m not sure, that’s the right video(I‘ve seen so many over the years). |

I think you're preaching to the choir here, but your comments needs to be posted on all these videos, like this one, that compare Adam to Freddie. |

With just hearing voices and no explanations I find it difficult to figure out what they are comparing each time But, in the comments, once again, Freddie is a vocal God! Why? |
