Brian May Says Adam Lambert Reaches Vocal Heights..!

Most classic-rock stars might shy away from
directly comparing their newest singer with the career-making frontman he
replaced. That would seem even more so if the singer in question was the late Freddie Mercury, one of music’s most dynamic and
memorable figures.
But Queen‘s
Brian May is not most classic-rock stars. In
fact, he says Adam Lambert — the former ‘American Idol’
finalist who has been touring with May and fellow remaining Queen co-founder Roger Taylor — is a decided improvement on
Mercury, in at least one regard.
“We didn’t
look for this guy, but suddenly he’s there — and he can sing all of those
lines,” May says of Lambert in a new interview. “See, they’re difficult songs to sing,
Queen songs. There’s too much range that plenty of people can’t sing them in
the original key — even if they are good singers. Adam comes along, and he can
do it easy. He can do it in his sleep! He can sing higher than even Freddie
could, in a live situation.”
Lambert
first worked with Queen on the ‘Idol’ finale in 2009. Since then, they’ve
appeared in several overseas venues before launching an ongoing world tour. Those dates now continue into Europe,
with 26 more scheduled shows for 2015. May and Taylor also recently oversaw the
release of more never-before-heard material from the Mercury era on a new
project titled ‘Queen Forever.’

Another regurgitated article with nothing new. Great
Oh boy, the wording in that article is going to make some Queen fans mad.
Adam VS Freddie = Click Bait = $$$$$
Don't bother going to any of these articles. What a waste!
Well, you gotta hand it to Brian for saying what he believes to be true of Adam's vocal skills. He's not the only one. I know Queen purists don't want anyone else to come close to Freddie. Brian must feel so lucky to have found Adam. He wants to give him his due. No way am I going to click on any of those Adam VS Freddie sites. No point in joining a war I don't want to fight.
Adam Lambert fans are the ones retweeting those articles over and over.

Whose fan are you then? ;)
Two comments I remember from older interviews re Adam's voice and singing... and I thought that's exactly how I feel...
First one is from Adam's mom Leila. She said she's never nervous when Adam's singing. It is such a delight to listen to Adam when you know he hits the notes, you don't have to worry is he able to sing the song in question...
The other comment was during Idol just before WLL and it came from Slash re Adam's singing: "It's so effortless!" (and of course the comment "Adam's got some pipes!")
Love love love listening to Brian gush about Adam, love his accent and expressions! Genuine infatuation that was so visible already back on Idol Finale 2009.
This has been rehashed and rehashed.
