The tongue out is actually an attempt at the most relaxed version of open throat technique. Sounds a bit counterintuitive but the most relaxed position for the tongue to be in is slightly elevated below the midline of the mouth cavity and protruded outwards slightly

[@fryke]

The fight is always the same: Marc does a great imitation of Freddie and also has nice explanations for the technique. Adam doesn't bother to imitate and is a force of nature, whose energy fits Queen very well on stage. Any Queen fan who's able to jump over their shadow and enjoy Queen + Adam Lambert on stage are in for a feast for their ears. I've seen them once in Zurich a couple of years ago, and wouldn't hesitate to buy tickets again when they come back. Marc, in his live performances, sounds strained quickly - and also his imitation fades when he loses the control he obviously has in his private room.

Adam is a better singer overal. Range, ability, agility and flexibility are all with Adam. But Marc has insanly similar vocal tone to Freddie. Though he struggles with some songs, especially when it comes to high parts, fe: Who wants to live forever. So, speaking of Queen. Adam is Adam and sings like Adam, Marc on the other hand is solid Freddie repleacment, tone wise. Adam gets a lot of hate bcs Adam does not sounds like Freddie, that is unfair imo. And I am not even fan of Adam, just saying that people should appriciate originality. Freddie is dead and there will be no new Freddie, no matter how similar someone gets, so Marc as well should be respected as Marc, not as Freddie copy paste. Adam was not straining on that A4 at all though.. he added some grasp for the effect, he clearly had control over it. But yea, it was unfair comparisson due different genres.

[@cookiedoreo3548]

Fair play to you saying you don't like Adam but that you do appreciate his originality. Why have someone who sounds like Freddie when they had authenticity with him and replacing him with someone who on occasion sounds like him, would be disrespecting the real Freddie. Still, it is mindboggling how some MM fans get into Queen and Adam's social media posts and start blaming them because they believe MM should be in Queen. I have been on his social media, and hardly found any nasty comments by QAL fans, so why they continue to feel the need to cause upset is beyond me. Adam, Brian, and Roger know each other 12 years now, and if they really wanted MM, they would've asked him. Apparently, Martel did part of the vocals for the BoRhap film, yet he is not listed in the title credits nor was he invited to the Oscars. You would have expected him to be there if his input was of any meaning.

Just in a totally different league. No wonder Marc was deeply impressed when he heard Adam with Queen.

[@kerryclark7233]

One is a Freddie impersonator but who can only sing the ballads (and, even then, only those in mid-register) and the other is an artist in his own right who can sing the full Queen repertoire and then some.

I rest my case.

Thank you for the video and for your honest opinion! Even though you seem to prefer Marc to Adam on the Queen songs, you still gave Adam the edge because quite simply he’s just the better vocalist. Thank you for putting to rest the endless debate of who’s technically better as a vocalist between Adam and Marc’s fans. I can understand why some would prefer Marc’s version of Queen songs over Adam’s because he sounds closer to how Freddie sounded but to me there is no comparison. Adam might look like a show off but in a live concert setting, those show offy moments were really fun and actually drew the most applause from the audience :) Adam is his own artist and he sounds wonderful with Queen. If you have the time, please check out Adam’s version of « Come to me bend to me », « Who wants to live forever » at the Isle of Wight Festival, his reinterpretation of Cher’s « Believe » and Adam’s live session of his new song « Feel Something ».

I mean it's actually pretty unfair to compare Adam with any male singer if we talk about mid-upper range and quality of sound throughout the whole range. Adam has great technical prowess, indeed, but his range is naturally much more developed in the upper part I think. Just hear how easy, almost chest voice-like of the sounds he makes in his upper register. Even vocal powerhouses like David Phelps or Alfie Boe still sound like they have to put in some more power on notes like A4 or B4, but for Adam they're just like his speaking voice, flying out without much effort (even his speaking voice normally sounds high-pitched). It's really hard to find a male singer that can have that much ease on the fifth octave, while still make them sound so powerful and full as if sung entirely in chest voice like Adam.

Thank you for being honest. I know people like Marc because he sounds similar to Freddy- but him and Freddy are NOT in the same LEAGUE. It's just that baritone sound that sounds the similar, when I listen to Freddy he has more power than MARC. I suppose we should told you- Adam is known for voice Technique- I highly suggest you listen to Come bend to Brigdon at 22 for voice control for Adam- that will show HOW skilled he is and control wise- I don't think any male pop singer in his age group is close except Brendon Urie. Once you listen to that, when it comes to vocal control- you get it. Thing is, Yes Marc is known on the net, for being a copy cat, but not known outside of that. Those are facts. But, people HAVE heard of Adam Lambert. They are both good singers, but based on Vocals - Adam takes the cake- once Adam did 113 in six months- crazy now he's done at least 300 over a decade- by this point. He isn't a slouch and a known vocalist.. Marc is more a singer. I know Adam's tone is off putting for some because he is a tenor. About that Tongue technique- isn't because he can't do high notes with out it- but its just protect and project those vocals- their is another coach that reacted to his Believe performance the Kennedy Honors that explains that. Note- the singers with tongue placements have less of a vocal issue- like Aretha Franklin. Adam trained for a in year In opera. :)

It seems to me like the comparison was rather limited. It was mostly about the ability to really belt out strong high notes. Adam was indeed great at this. However, I would have liked a comparison of high notes, mid notes, low notes, different tones, different style songs, and the intangibles of phrasing and how each feels and projects the meaning of the songs. Some folks can belt out the high notes, but might not have quite as pure a tone as others. I'd leave it to the professionals to think of all the different ways that voices and performing can be compared..., but it just seems to me like this was too limited. Though yes, I have to agree, Adam can really project and belt out those high notes, he was quite impressive in those clips.

[@papabearM3]

JoeTerp Exactly. A higher voice will always be more comfortable on the upper range. Adam is a leggero, Marc is a low tenor. This comparison is useless.

[@TheLambertLover]

Actually on Digital Dream Door, they had a list of 100 Most Technically Skilled Rock Vocalists where they judged on the following criteria: Technique: Breath Support, Consistency throughout registers, Endurance, Diction Control: Register Switching, Runs, Register Blending, Pitch, Vibrato, Volume Control Power & Range: Projection, Resonance, Use of Range, Sustain Versatility: Technical Versatility, Tonal Versatility, Stylistic Versatility Adam was ranked #2. So I think if there was another comparison video that displayed categories other than Power and Range, I still think Adam would win. digitaldreamdoor.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=4&t=185

[@ZENOBlAmusic]

@TheLambertLover Useless study then seeing as Adam is not a rock singer. He is a pop artist, and rock has never been about technical vocals. That completely misses the point. Rock is about emotion.

[@fascynacja26]

Adam is better and his voice is so cute. One of the best male vocalists!!!

[@cko1005]

The comparison here is who sings better, who has the best technique and not who imitates Freddie better. Adam has the greatest vocal range, the greatest flexibility and clarity of voice. Marc puts a lot of pressure on his voice, especially on the higher notes and it causes distortion of his voice. In other words, Marc tensions his voice to maintain similarity with FREDDIE's voice.

Do you feel you can do a fair comparison of them both singing Queen songs? Marc sings Queen like Freddie and Adam doesn't. Adam does the songs his way.

[@papabearM3]

Lah nonname Sh evidently is trying to being piece to this argument by glorifying shitty singing techniques. Atta gurl, G!

[@mattwitwicki1387]

Really good point. Adam is trying to sing the songs in a way in which his own vocal style and tone will shine. MM is trying to nail Freddie's sound and way, and he does it exceptionally well. They are trying to accomplish different things. Like most, I prefer MM, due to how well he can sound like one of the most legendary vocalists of all time. If I were going to see Queen, I'd want to hear the closest representation of them..which would be MM, not Adam. Just my own preference.

[@TheLambertLover]

@@mattwitwicki1387 Where are you getting this like most? They have been playing to large venues world-wide to RAVE reviews for 7 years now. Over a million people have paid to see them and their upcoming tour is almost sold out, with ALL people knowing that it is Adam singing. Marc is barely mentioned on Queen Zone and Queen Online .On the international Queen fan club, 80% preferred Adam. On Facebook, people who have seen a show are now defending Adam. It's just handful of trolls (probably a lot of Marc fans) who give a thumbs down to every positive post about Adam. Did you know that the MM fans go to EVERY Adam video, even his solo stuff, stuff from 10 years ago, his social media, Queen's social media just to bash Adam and pimp Marc? It's really pathetic. And if most people prefer Marc, why is he a struggling artist who had to resort to Kickstarter to make a covers album and less than 600 people pledged?

Damn! Adams got some beautiful pipes!! I have a personal request please it isn’t a sing off, if you wouldn’t mind taking a step back in time and rating this under rated and somewhat less known late 80s rock band that I came across not so long ago compared to the more well known 80s rock greats but when I heard his song called ( I remember You ) I was blown away, what do you think of his vocals on the song? I thought he was definitely up there and just a shame he came along a bit too late with that kind of music and singing as the music was moving on to a different style in 89 if was was around in late 70s early 80s with that voice he would of been a lot bigger I reckon. What’s your thoughts?? The band is called Skid Row song is called ( I remember you) lead singer is Sebastian Bach, there is an original video clip of the song on KZbin easy to find. Thanks

Yasai if that's the case why was Marc relegated to the Queen tribute band but Adam has been performing with Queen for 8 years? Theyve said they never want to sing with anyone else. Marc may technically be a good singer but he sounds exactly like Fred which I don't think the Queen guys want. Adam puts his own spin on things plus has the stage presence

[@TheLambertLover]

@@yasaipicles6295 You're the one who has to keep dreaming because Marc will NEVER be Queen's front man. It's been 7 years of world-wide tours to RAVE reviews. They're already set up with huge world tours for the next two years and there is a documentary on QAL in 11 days. Insanity is the doing the same thing over and over again, but expecting different results. That's what Marc fans are, insane.

@@oliviadaly4795 I don't think Marc sounds like him naturally. His Downhere stuff and his covers of other artists don't sound like Freddie. He admits that he is a very good mimic. That's basically all he is. A tribute artist. I'm sure all artists aspire to be one of those. LOL.
