Big difference here -- Adam's version: he grabbed me at the first verse Marc's version: he lost me at the first verse This guy did sound like Freddie, but no emotion. Just saying...
Many of the Queen fans who don't like the idea of Adam singing with the band have
praised Marc Martel - which makes sense, because he's a good singer - but it makes me wonder if the Queen diehards prefer him over Adam because his vocal tones sound eerily close to Freddie's. Is that what they want, a Mercury sound-alike? Even if the singer has none of Freddie's emotion?
Speaking only for myself, I'd rather hear Adam, with all of his vocal powers and ability to deliver songs with passion, interpreting the Queen music catalog in his own unique, fresh
way. With all due respect to Marc, the music deserves to be sung by someone who offers more than a copy (although it's a very good copy) of the Freddie sound. There can be only one Mercury. Just like there's only one AFL.Marc, who has an excellent voice, is no threat to them, as he has no charisma. No one is going to prefer Marc to Freddie or ever say he is as good or good in a different way. He is not changing the revered material of their idol in any way. He is not being accepted by Brian and Roger as good enough to front their own concert... Adam is trespassing into sacred territory for some of these fans. In a way I understand, because I already don't think anyone could ever sing my favorite Adam songs and leave me completely satisfied and not wishing I could just hear Adam sing them again, and I have only been stanning Adam for three years. I do think, as usual, Adam is talking about these performances in just the right way whenever he is asked about them by media, always respectful and humble. I can't wait for these shows! Those of you who have loved Queen and now love Adam must be in heaven! |

I have mixed feelings about Queen -- I refused to see them live since Freddy died because it was always with impersonators -- even when George Michael did it -- but now will be there. I loved the stuff George Michael did with Queen/Queen songs. But then I love George Michael and he couldn't ever be an impersonator for Freddie for me because he always had his unique style. Also I guess I'm way more relaxed about thingses 8-) I'd be the first to line up for that Beatles tour  I am a George Michael fan -- that is why I called him out specifically -- even he was not enough to move me to see QUEEN again. |

I don't read French. What does it say? Google translate says it means "kindness incarnating." So, does it mean "kindness personified"? Natural kindness? Demonstrating kindness? I bow to one of our native French speakers but would say niceness or kindness personified (or incarnate) would be correct, but those words have (to my ear) a weaker, less enthusiastic connotation in English than French. I'd say they agree he's a delightful cupcake of a man:) |

I don't think BTR is filler, I could easily see it in Chokehold's place in fact. Yes, totally!!! I am on 12th listen, ;D, let's all of go visit Gelly and her island hang outs  I'm on at least my 12th listen, and I can't stop. I love, love, love this song. I can't stop moving my body. Beautiful, sweet sound to his voice. |

Not a native French speaker but I did have lessons for a long time, "kindness personified" or "kindness itself" I'd say  |

Another day, another go at getting all responses (Aloha - I just saw you ) UPDATE -- if you are going to London -- important info:  Queenbert Party time in London I posted NEW details of this get-together in the Members Only thread. Can everyone planning or wishing to attend please trundle on over there to confirm and catch up with the latest. (P.S. Could a couple of kindly peeps in different time-zones 'pay this forward' for me as I want to be sure everyone who might be going to London sees the post.) |
