Why are Adam Lambert & Queen Bohemian Rhapsody AWESOME? Dr. Marc Reaction & Analysis

[@lilianalcasid5236]

Adam's voice is magic! He owns every song he sings!!!😘

[@RobChurch1988]

Yes great analysis! lol How did Queen get 2 Fantastic singers in their lifetime, one can only be so lucky.

[@JameAndy-nd5vp]

Adam Lambert is awesome and he doesn’t ever try to imitate. He always interprets the lyrics himself and you always get Adam’s version. Thank you for your analysis. You seem very knowledgeable.

[@willekevaneeckhoutte4105]

There's another difference between Freddie Mercury and Adam Lambert, and one people never seem to notice: how well or not words are pronounced while singing. If you compare Queen's original Live Aid gig just to use one easy example, and the Queen performances with Adam Lambert, where you will hear that Freddie Mercury often doesn't sing the last few letters of words in lyrics whereas AL does. This is more than likely because of AL's years of theatre training/performing where you are taught how well to pronounce words to ensure that people in every corner of a theatre understands what is being said/sung. I only noticed the difference between both once I found out about Adam Lambert in the Netflix documentary (I was a "No Queen without Freddie" but have since been converted into a giant AL fan)

[@LeighMicheletti]

I have watched tons of the 70s and 80s concert and never noticed that. Good catch. I was like you and only listened to the original recordings and concerts, especially after the Paul Rodgers stint. It wasn't until they released Live Around the World that I took notice, and I am so glad I did. Adam Lambert is a fantastic vocalist. I have even been enjoying his whole Velvet album and some songs from his other albums. Kinda sad I have been sleeping for so long on his talent. But I'm making up for lost time now.

[@Elisa-y6y]

Check out his newest album High Drama. Sooo Great❤❤❤

[@behiii2357]

Yes exactly and it is one of my favorite things about him 👌 he doesn't use any tricks everything is clean, clear and in it's the right place ❤

[@schokischlecki1980]

You need to see Adam live. He's usually moving and dancing and running all over the stage and it doesn't take anything away from his vocal performance.

[@schokischlecki1980]

PS: Thank you for pointing out that he doesn't try to imitate Freddie. It's what I've seen the older Queen fans realize within the first 2 songs and they ALWAYS walk out of the venue with huge smiles on their faces. They get it, once they've seen QAL live on stage.

[@guizmolatino75]

Adam is the best singer in the world!!!

[@celtcwrtr]

Adam made the decision when he first started working with Queen in 2012 to stop listening to the recordings (Brian & Roger told him to make the songs his own), and he worked with instrumentals recorded by their keyboardist Spike (who has been with Queen since the 80s when Freddie decided to focus on performance for their live shows). the documentary The Show Must Go On, the Queen & Adam Lambert Story is highly illuminating regarding their history.

[@elizabethhewins464]

This was the Australia Firefight concert in February-they had a 20 minute set, so they decided to recreate the 1985 Live Aid set. No pressure there!

[@elisabeths.5829]

It's so refreshing to hear someone who actually knows what they are talking about. Thank you for your wonderful analysis of this great performance by Queen+AL!

[@randbjack329]

Great reaction. So glad you mentioned that Adam wasn’t trying to compare to Freddie. A lot of reviews keep wanting to say “he’s no Freddie” and we’re like duh, he’s not trying to be. I agree with other comment - please do review on isle wight festival “who wants to live forever”.

[@sharonbunn8460]

Adam’s Lambert’s version of Who Wants to Live Forever is outstanding. His range & power is incredible. He lives & breathes the lyrics, tearing your heart out. The San Diego Opera years ago critiqued him giving him a great revue.

Adam is AMAZING! So is Queen, Perfect fit!

[@toramenor]

I really enjoyed the singing tips throughout, especially at the end: "sound technicians and mics should take care of the decibel level, you as a singer take care of the QUALITY of sound." Yes! That's why I admire Adam Lambert so much. He doesn't shout when singing, his voice never sounds strained, even when he is being at his most intense. Even when he adds distortion, I get the feeling like he is simply adding a layer to a clean, pure base, and he can remove that extra layer at any time. Whereas some singers (who haven't got a good technique like him) even if they're able to sing high or intensely or with distortions, you actually hear them straining, shout-singing and tearing their voices. Adam Lambert can do this rock song and than turn around and sing with pure round bright crystal-clear sound-- and for both, his throat is relaxed, there is no strain, makes it look like he can do it in his sleep. And yes, we all have our preferences, but that is why, objectively speaking, Adam Lambert is the best singer I've ever heard.

[@krismartikris4834]

Re: Adam's movement on stage - in the documentary The Show Must Go On, Roger mentions Adam's awareness of the camera, causing me to think Adam helped him and Brian to better 'play' with the cameras. I've noticed that Adam and Brian have their moves choreographed to showcase the 'active' performer at any given time.

[@drakulkacz6489]

The patern is made before concerts. But I think there are two Adam´s version - Adam´s TV version, when he is always more stiff and less playful and the pure concert version when he is running around the whole stage and playing and doing all sorts of funny things and sexy dance and all his provocations. And in my mind I always see the poor camera man who is trying just to keep Adam in the picture from his waist up :DDD

[@Jemoja77]

I'm not even a singer and I loved your reaction, analysis and advice. It helped me to hear you describe where the sounds sit in the mouth and throat. I'm going to try to pay more attention when I'm talking (I'm a poet and read my work alot and don't want to sound boring). About your comment about Adam Lambert not moving around, he doesn't move much on this song, but in concert he really does use the entire stage. When the camera pulls back you can see how big the stage is and that it includes a catwalk. And actually he and Brian May together are often using it and playing off each other. He also knows how to use a camera better than alot of rock musicians do, which I think is due to his stage training. You might want to check out Queen+AL Who Wants to LIve Forever - Live at the Isle of Wight.

[@dianeperrin4152]

Freddy was great! Queen is great and Adam Lambert is great!! I love them and their music.....and I live Adam's music when he sings in his own.Gid Bless them all and may Freddie R.I.P.

[@MasiaDe]

Adam lambert is under-appreciated as a vocalist He's more technical, cause he's classically trained. Thanks,. Adam has many performances, also he was in the middle of a tour.

Dr. Reynolds, would you consider commenting on my favorite by Adam Lambert - a song called "Soaked" at Indianapolis in 2010 during his Glam Nation Tour live - audience is absolutely mesmerized and this is Adam being 100% theatrical, awesome performance

I can't think of anything that Adam Lambert has been ever intimidated by!

[@watersfan]

Milan 2015 concert would be interesting to analyze. Adam had bronchitis but still managed to maneuver around it.

[@drakulkacz6489]

Yes, it is possible to hear it in the technique he use if he is ill or not - because people who don´t know him often don´trecognize it at all.

[@borednerd2100]

What a fascinating analysis ! Plz do more QAL videos.

[@thomthom6268]

He does with his voice, what he can. And he will .

[@valogden]

It would be interesting to see your thoughts on his performance last summer with Queen in Bologna Italy. In the middle of the show he sang Nessun Dorma. The crowd loved it!

[@jeannineandmarcmason5024]

Why is this a comparison? Adam doesn’t try to ever sing like Freddie. He does not need to, his voice is it’s own unique gem.

[@riaquell9047]

All of it is awesome

Thank tou for this very interesting video. Also I woud like to see you reacting to "we are the champions" from the same concert (fire fight australia). Looking forward to see it 🙏

Please react to “The Show Must Go On”. Unbelievable! You will be totally blown away by his vocals. 🖤

[@pankakesnotstellar]

Great analysis and instructions. Thank you.

[@Thisismeeeeee]

Is it possible things are a little different because one is American and Freddie is not? This concert did alot for us Aussies, it was emotional for us due to what our country was going though and they were already here watching it all unfold. Adam was being Adam. Not trying to be Freddie

[@BarTGila]

Thank you but you only did half the song.....the ending is the best part....the best use of his instrument.

[@elizabethhewins464]

BarT Gila if I am interpreting this concert, this was the Australia Firefight concert where they recreated the 1985 Live Aid concert, and Freddie only did the first part through Brian’s solo.

[@mandyswift8190]

This was the Australian Fire Fight Concert, there was a lot of emotion shown by the band. This, I think is why this version may seem different to others that Adam has sang.

[@kimberlyallen4156]

I don’t think you should compare the two he does an amazing job. I don’t know how you can listen to him when u keep cutting him off. Freddy is Freddy Adam is Adam. They are both great

[@HundXanthippe]

Why is every analysis always positive for every "critic"? I have never found a critical/negative review here on KZbin and similar channels. From this one can conclude that either all the singers are great or it's about clicks from the respective fans who just want their opinion confirmed and give it a thumbs up.

Nothing more than a Freddie wannabe.

[@HundXanthippe]

if he can imitate a Freddie Mercury fairly well, then he's a damn good singer. That aside, I don't trust him or QUAL to achieve those results without bringing today's sound technology to the stage. Send them all on tour only "armed" with the technology of the time and then we'll see whether they can even come close to being able to hold a candle to the singers of the time, who mostly wrote their hits themselves.

[@babooshka7601]

@@sasha07775 Why would Marc want to be Freddie? He has enormous talent and gets to sing the most beautiful music night after night. By just being himself. That's a gift. Adam fans are not quite able to see it that way.

Niko Ringkauf Better than a lot of people also that confirms he doesn't use AUTOTUNE. Unlike... many. So at least respect that about him. or do we need talk about how many people use autotune instead of raw? I'd applaud him for that, instead of putting him down for his "pitchness".
