Adam Lambert 24/7 News

Yes, I bet she was...Adam and Gaga 'auditioned' to sing with Queen right from the start of the Queen+...tours. She literally lost the place to Adam. But Brian and Roger being artists and entrepreneurs in the same breath...did exactly the right thing even against discontent among Queen fans. They went ahead anyway; very wise decision. Just imagine if Gaga was singing Who Wants To Live Forever; even the previous Freddie stand-ins couldn't touch anywhere near what Adam did in those so difficult high notes. And if you lower the key of those power notes, they lose their beauty, shine and the whole song is just but another ballad.

WWTLF is guaranteed Queen music, NEVER just another ballad - even if there was no vocalist, just the music and Brian's guitar SINGING!

Queen's music has been tested against time, through decades, it has prevailed and will do so in the future. With or without Adam.

Adam is stupendous singing Queen music, but their music is in a league of its own, too. Respect.

Your grasp of understanding is wanting. I'm not even saying WWTLF is an ordinary ballad. I'm comparing Adam's palpable, emotional singing of the song killing all the high notes, and bringing out this 'life and death' poignancy in the song. So it pales other Queen singers who make it sound like any other ballad; and I have heard a couple of them, didn't feel much. And not that WWTLF is another ordinary ballad ! Think!

p/s...I know who you are! and I can prove it. So please tread gingerly as far as I'm concerned.

I was hoping threats were a thing of the past.

Lam-My's threat should be removed by Admin. No one should be allowed to stop comments by threatening to reveal something the poster did not want known. It defeats the purpose of the sign in process.

It is not a threat ! and it is not something the concerned commenter or others don't already know. This person had attacked me before the sign-in as an Anonymous and the thread is clearly published. I'm not revealing anything bad or slanderous, as I said it's already been published; just giving a kind of warning not to step too far which she did before the sign-in. So my issuing the warning is trying to alert the person not to be too flippant about responding to my comments. Of course, anyone can respond but in this particular case/above, the tone of her response is negative and baseless; just like the same instance, she accused me of something baseless with no reason or substantiation...simply lashed out at me! So my intention is not a threat rather I'm trying to prevent another of that sort of lashing out / time-wasting squabble; as I think quarreling is a terrible waste of time and so I'd rather prevent that than wait for it to happen. The tone in her above response to me is not welcomed and also it's not even what I was inferring but as before the sign-in, quick to jump on me.
And you! who have no idea what went before should not jump to the conclusion I'm issuing a threat! On the contrary, I am trying to prevent another heated disagreement/quarrel. You would have seen the couple of threads I am referring to, no threat or anything bad that we don't already know! Except the name!! as she was so blatant because she was Anonymous.
And JAK...you were in cahoots in this particular attack! Shocking to think I have always regarded you as friend!

@Lam-My your comment was a threat. Vagrant gave an opinion and should be allowed to do so. If it was your intention to avoid quarreling, I think you failed. You had the choice to ignore the comment. You chose threats and intimidation. This is MY opinion, you may disagree but that is life.

NAF.....You are not in the position to say I made a threat as you did not experience the group attack lashed out on me and so I want to prevent that...a warning ! not a threat. Perhaps I should have taken the person who attacked me to task with examples from that particular thread in question instead of issuing a warning. I didn't do that precisely because I did not want to delve into that quarrel in which she lashed out I was jealous!! of someone and she felt ashamed of my action!...totally baseless with nothing to back her callous accusation. No substantiation! Just simply lash out because she was Anonymous. Now, that to me was very serious and demeaning because the truth was jealousy was not even the issue nor reason regarding that argument. So I repeat, I have every right to give a warning; not a threat! after what I was dragged through.

If I interpret Vagrant's post correctly, I think she means that the quality of Queen's music transcends any particular singer who is singing it. The music is stellar in its own right, even when played without a vocalist at all. Adam is probably second only to Freddie in his ability to make these songs live and breathe. That's why Brian and Roger chose him.

WWTLF is such a powerful song, both in lyric and melody. It wrings the heart. Adam is a master at capturing its magic, but, as Vagrant said, the music stands on its own as well.

Lam-my, we all share your love your Adam. Your posts are full of passion. But I think sometimes you jump the gun a little with other posters and get too defensive. I try to post as if I am face to face with the people I am talking to. I just helps keep things in perspective.

Peace.
DRG

Lam-My if the poster attacked you in the past, it was not on this thread. I am sorry that happened. In my opinion, it does not give you the right to attempt to censor, attack or bully in return.
Unfortunately, your actions test Admin's new policy on commenting civilly and respectfully. I wait to see what action they take.

"In cahoots".......?

Hi All!

Oh boy, this was not what I expected! Just got home from work an hour ago, ate and wanted to read Adam news...

This thread is probably dead already, but since I'm being wrongfully accused (totally gobsmacked here!) I need to try & clarify a few things.

I was stating my opinion on WWTLF and on Queen music in general. Lam-My's first post, her comment about WWTLF prompted me to do it, but my post was just my opinion, not a response to her, let alone an attack (?!?!) on her... And certainly not meant to be taken negatively (I love Queen's music!) in any way.

WWTLF is Brian's song, it is a very special song and there are not many singers apart from Freddie and Adam who have sang this song LIVE with Queen, I mean with Brian on the guitar and Roger on the drums. One of the few is Seal (Freddie's Tribute concert in 1992) and I love that version, too. Because of Brian's guitar, Roger on the drums and Seal's voice & charisma (totally different from Freddie and Adam, but definitely NOT just another ballad!)

One more clarification: I was not talking about various versions of WWTLF (mostly by female singers, e.g. Sarah Brightman) which are not done with Queen/Brian&Roger! It is especially Brian's guitar that gives this song and Queen music in general its "worldwide known sound" (even when Freddie was alive).

@Dee R Gee, thank you for interpreting my post and doing it so eloquently. Sorry for my not so eloquent English. :)

@Lam-My
Don't know who do you think I am, but I assure you I'm not that person. I have never lashed out or attacked you or any other tagged poster here, before or after the sign in, or taken part in any group attack.

I only stated my opinion on WWTLF (prompted by the last part of you first post on this thread) and Queen music in general. And especially on Brian's significance and guitar playing skills as being responsible for the excellence of WWTLF and Queen sound in general. Do not understand why you find my post negative, flippant or baseless?!? I said nothing about you or to you in my post, just my opinion on this particular song and Queen songs in general, when played by Queen (not some lame orchestrations etc).

You are very hostile in your posts on this thread, issuing threats, warnings and what not. Nothing in my post deserves that kind of behavior. Let me repeat, I don't know who you are referring to with your warnings, but I'm not the one! I expect you do the grown up thing and apologize to me.

@JAK, @Anon, @NAF, @Dee R Gee - thank you all for your comments.

I apologize to all here for these posts. I am here for Adam and all things related to Adam, and to have fun, not to cause trouble or lash out on anybody. I speak my mind, state my opinions in a rather straight forward style, that's the kind of person I am. Opionated but fair & honest.

Whatever you all want to think...that's fine; my intention was to let the person who attacked / at times stalked me, know who she is and what she did to me was way below par unacceptable. If I were in fact "jealous, threatened" I would not have been upset by the accusation and when I asked why I should feel threatened or jealous, no substantiation was forthcoming. No reason to back up that claim either. Those who supported this baseless accusation were to me just as culpable!
This warning that I issued to the person, should not be based on the above comment alone, which would then appear to be overly defensive. It was just an opening for me to warn and also in anticipation this person didn't come any closer, not interested in what she thinks of my comments either!
So I'm not being overly defensive nor did I issue a threat ! considering the amount of group attacks I was dragged through. But they have stopped after the sign-in. Thank you Admin!
Bottomline...My intention was just to expose and give a warning. That's all and what you people here think...does not matter to me...any way the wind blows...chapter closed.

Vagrant.....You have denied with exactly the same words that you have not attacked me. I can prove that; I've said I do not want to delve too much into this incident. But since you deny and want more substantiation, I'll oblige.
You Vagrant said this to me:

" @Lammy and @some Anons:
I don't get your whining, actually you make me feel ashamed. Are you jealous of her or what?!? Just don't get it. "
May 19, 2014 at 2:08 AM

@...JAK here....i second all 2:08's words.
May 19, 2014 at 2:06 PM

@Lam my 4:29
I have never attacked you or any of the regulars here.
2:08
May 19, 2014 at 4:14 PM

*Almost identical words as Vagrant's denial above and yet launched her baseless salvo.

Other identical phrases before sign-in:
@......., you are a class act,
May 19, 2014 at 2:08 AM

After sign-in:
Vagrant said...
NOTE: @......, you are a class act! Thank you for your input & help in so many ways. "
August 3, 2014 at 4:53 PM

Only you used this sentence to defend @......, twice within such a short period of time.
Also, your telltale sign of using this punctuation ?!? on many comments, gave you away.

Now to round up, as I've said I just want to issue a warning to you and not a threat! I also did not want to have to rig up these proofs but since you implied I got the wrong person...that leaves me no choice.

p/s....The first "you are a class act" is taken from the actual attack thread, before sign-in.
The second is from after the sign-in with her name Vagrant, defending the same person. That at once sounded an alarm...defending the same person twice with exactly the same sentence...on the "jealous, threatened" thread and after the sign-in with her name, Vagrant.
The ubiquitous punctuation ?!? used mainly by her as in her current above comment and on many other comments gave her away as well. The real issue actually is, if you are Anonymous, actually you are not; so do take care.

Oh @Lam-My, you are a piece of work! Hah ha ha!!!

I said in my previous post that I'm straight forward but fair and honest. Those quotes you have dug up and pasted in your post (do you do that to everyone who asks you something you don't like or states an opinion contrary to yours?!?) are mine, but what you "conveniently forget" from them is that the comments were about giving thanks and head-ups for @glitzylady for her input on this site, which you could not handle. Still can't, I'm sorry to see.

And I still think @glitzylady is a class act on this site. Hope she returns soon!

And I repeat for the gazillionth of times: I have not ATTACKED you or any other tagged regulars on this site, not as Anon nor with a tag.

What you pasted here were my questions of puzzlement about your rude and odd behavior towards @glitzylady. If you considered my questions to you back then as an attack, that's all in your head.

Issuing threats and warnings?!!? Please, just get over yourself and stop.

Your continued "warnings" are ridiculous. A different opinion is not an attack. Reflect and Regroup.

Vagrant
It does not matter to me what you think of the person mentioned and certainly you are free to like and support her. I have nothing against that. But that does not give you the liberty to level an unsubstantiated accusation; that you are "ashamed of my whining" which is definitely not a question as you try to wriggle your way out and a very adverse opinion / statement, not question! And on top of that, to say it was due to jealousy; simply based on your own askew judgement and assumption and not on facts.
Okay, I give you a simple example: Let's say someone left a sum of money on the table and left for a while; when he returned, the money was gone...he asked you: Did you take the money on the table? with a suspicious look. Now that is also a question but it sounds accusatory due to the suspicion in the tone; based on the person's unsubstantiated assumption. Yes it's a question /opinion but it's accusatory and baseless and you would feel you've been maligned.
I discussed that particular matter logically and not "whining" nor was it based even remotely on jealousy! Now you even say I "can't handle" whatever imagined situation you are talking about! I happen to be be very comfortable in my own capacity and happy with what I'm doing; such a state of mind doesn't harbour jealousy nor whine!
I have handled all kinds of situations much more complex than this! And now your new baseless accusation is I can't handle whatever imagined situation! Whoa! Base your argument on facts not on muddled accusations! You are way off the rockers. lol!

@Lam-My

"...could not handle. Still can't, I'm sorry to see." My quote refers to you not being able to give credit where credit is due (@glitzylady) and not even mentioning her tag. You still don't comment on threads posted by @glitzylady.... Just telling how it was and how it still is. Not attacking or accusing. You dug up the old thread. Please please stop it now.

My first post in this thread was and is about Queen's exceptional music and as long as Brian plays the guitar and Roger is on the drums, WWTLF and their music in general is never reduced to "an ordinary ballad", no matter who is singing the vocals. And I'm sure Brian & Roger only perform WWTLF with someone they think will keep it that way. Exceptional.

This is my last post on this thread.

@vagrant

quote do you do that to everyone who asks you something you don't like or states an opinion contrary to yours?!?) unquote....

Unfortunately the answer to that question is yes. You must know by now, that you can never have an opinion different to Lam-my's, or disagree with her in any way, shape or form..

I was not even saying WWTLF is an ordinary ballad...that's why I said you missed the whole point! And you quickly jumped in to comment with a capitalised "NEVER" just another ballad". What I said was only Adam could have sung WWTLF with such passion and able to kill those high notes and if some singers can't take those high notes and lower the key, the song would sound like any other ballad; and not that WWTLF is any ordinary ballad. Can you understand the difference? You missed the whole point completely and spilled onto my comment unnecessarily.
Someone and you also said, I should not rig up an old thread. Well, I need to settle your unfair accusation /injustice and you provided an opening. There was no way I could do that in the old thread because there were so many other Anonymous without names. If you had a name then, I would have taken you to task for your accusatory comment and need not rig it up now. I did actually but without a name. I bet you wouldn't have dared, with a name! In any case, you said I got the wrong person and so I had to show you that I got it right. This is not the only time; there were many such disagreements. And thus my legitimate warning.

Ahh I see the always waiting opportunist has swooped down from her perch. Half the time, she doesn't know head-or-tail what she's talking about, the one and only moong-cha-cha lol! That "no one can have an opinion different from mine" is a total lie! Again nothing to back up her claim!

@lam-my
actually there's hundreds of examples I could use to back the statement up, I just can't be arsed to go back searching for them, as unlike you I don't keep a file of them!!

Well you are always watching out for an opportunity to swoop down for your Lam-My kill! The most recent being just a month ago. And you keep repeating the same lie! that others cannot have an opinion different from mine. Surely after countless times of repeating the same lie, you could off-hand just give at least one or two examples, just describe it, no need to dig up files but you can't even relate an example off-hand; and that is unfair because I can't explain nor refute...and so you keep repeating the same lie with no substantiation to back up your accusation. It's just your own muddled moong-cha-cha perception...which sounds ludicrous in itself. You mean others on this site would actually tolerate that? And still talk to me and some say such nice things. But you seem to harbour this personal grudge. I've told you not to address anything to be since, like you say I do not accept others' opinions including yours. But you are back again and again to spew the same lie!
Look back at some of the threads, you were the one swerving in to tell me what to do, what's not acceptable but I have largely left you to do/say what you want; until you try to impose your opinion on me and when I give my angle, you turn it around to say I can't accept others' opinions. You are the dogged one here. Wake up!
For example, when some commenters engaged me on the topic of religion, straight away, you barged in and said this was not the right place; but the religious topic was sparked by homosexuality which is closely linked to this site. And that was the first time I had replied to such comments in a lengthy way. A lot of other such instances where we disagree. That's why I've told you many times not to address anything to me to avoid clashes and wasting of time. Wake up! Your brain is sleeping! And my standing order to you stays! No Trespassing!
