I can watch this video and easily pick up that you are a Marc fan. So Adam did not have a chance with your vocalist comparison. Marc is great, but Adam is Adam and he always takes a slight different take on a song. His voice is the best I have heard in a long time. Watch Adam on American Idol, with each song he sings he takes a different take of his own. He's a genius. God Bless

You are 💯 correct. Marc sounds horrible and this guy like him cause he could easily out-sing Marc. But he can’t out-sing AL.

So Marc got the karaoke gig and Adam the real deal...it's cool. makes sense considering Adams voice is so superior. There is a couple of songs where I really like Marc, The Show must go on definitely one of them, but most of it is average at best and some is outright terrible.

[@Leander_]

@@HULKEN1UP After having seen Queen (with Freddie) 5 times, I think Queen + Al is nothing more than a karaoke show. Accompanied by more pyro and motor cycles. I already told you, go and listen to Marc's version of Prophet's song and Sweet Lady. And of course Marc and Tyler's accoustic version of Tie your mother down. And if you think Marc sings those songs terrible, you really should go and listen to bootlegs. This morning I happened to listen to Queen ""Fat bottomed girls'' in Boston 1982. That is a fine example of what is terrible! kzbin.info/www/bejne/l6e6l4mcnsSFi7c

@@Leander_ Maybe you should reconsider your use of the word "karaoke". Adam is the worst karaoke singer in the world. Have we even heard one song from him ever where he tries to do it the original way? He is always trying to mix it up. Marc is trying so hard to get as close as possible to the original when he does Queen, it just doesn't do it for me. "Tie your mother down" with Tyler was nice though, but I much prefer his original work that for his voice has much better balance between registers. He sounds really cool in the lower register and great when he soars from there. Nice lyrics too. As for Freddie..no news that his voice control was lousy at times. Way worse examples out there :)

I truly don't understand why some people have a problem with him fronting Queen. Brian and Roger chose Adam Lambert, not because they were looking for a replacement for Freddie Mercury, but because Adam is an incredible singer and performer. As Adam Lambert has said "many times" he is not trying to fill Freddies shoe's. He brings his own shoe's to every performance. I have been a Queen fan for 30 years, and I am more than happy with this incredibly talented, charismatic, young man, who does an amazing job fronting my favourite band.

They encouraged Adam to make the songs his own, and while he sticks to the general framework and melody of the songs, he certainly puts his own flair on everything.

Freddie lacerated the vocals in the studio version in one take, according to Brian May, after angrily reacting to him expressed doubt that he could physically manage it anymore. Especially considering it was recorded in 1990/91 when Freddie was extremely ill, you really can't compare it to anything else. Martel and Lambert are on the similar level with their vocals, it all a matter of style preference to choose one over the other. Freddie himself liked preforming things live different than in studio, so as to throw in spice and variety so it isn't "boring".

He’s been in musical theater where you don’t get to just add in your own stuff wherever you want, he knows how to do that.

This just goes to show how great of a vocalist freddy mercury was. The song chronicles the effort of Freddie Mercury continuing to perform despite approaching the end of his life, although his diagnosis with HIV/AIDS had not yet been made public in spite of ongoing media speculation claiming that he was seriously ill.[3]Mercury was so ill when the band recorded the song in 1990 that May had concerns as to whether he was physically capable of singing it. Recalling Mercury's performance, May states; "I said, 'Fred, I don't know if this is going to be possible to sing.' And he went, 'I'll fucking do it, darling' - vodka down - and went in and killed it, completely lacerated that vocal

@@Leander_Freddie had this insanely unhealthy work schedule where he sang Queen songs which are mostly extremely vocally taxing night after night then went straight back to studio to record more insane vocals for which he had no modern tech or autotune as an assist, and then went right back to touring again. He also had vocal nodules, and obviously all the smoking and drinking was not exactly good for his voice. All that abuse of his vocals, and he still was one of the greatest male vocalists of all time. Not to mention, some of his best vocals ever were recorded while he was litterally sick and dying. And of course, the only difference between Freddie's live and his studio was in the amount of takes. And he still did some mind blowing things live, such as m.kzbin.info/www/bejne/qGOlqp5prsesrJY Marc has a rather small work schedule, ideal conditions for his voice, and in studio has all the tech of the 21st century. Also, unlike Freddie who was constantly experimenting with and mastering a tremendous range of styles and techniques with his voice, both live and in studio, Marc just sort of imitates and sticks to the same old same old. Part of the fun of watching Freddie live was to hear a different and unique spin on the songs each time he sang them. He never really ever did things exactly the same from show to show. He didn't want to, because he didn't want to be a boring copy of himself, which is pretty much exactly what Marc ended up being.

The lights, the lasers, the sound, the performances of everybody on stage was absolutely top notch. If you haven't got a ticket yet, go see these guys. Legends of course we all know that.

BOTH men are extraordinary, phenomenal, other-worldly vocalists and performers...in completely different ways. Those that hate on Adam because he isn't Freddie have clearly never seen him do what he does. I was lucky enough to see Freddie sing, was unsure as to what to expect, in short was blown away, fantastic gig & am sure Freddie would be proud to have you continue the Queen legacy, have fun tonight My first concert was Queen at Slane Castle in ‘86. Saw Queen with Adam Lambert last year. You are in for a treat, enjoy! Saw Queen with Freddie 1975 Christmas Eve, tonight with Adam Lambert. Both incredible shows fronted by incredible showmen. Messrs May and Taylor constants of course. @DrBrianMay @OfficialRMT @QueenWillRock @adamlambert wow!! That gig will live in my memory forever, I was at Knebworth in 1986, miss Freddie’s voice so much, so happy you guys found each other! Thank you! #matchmadeinheaven I was fortunate enough to see Queen with Freddie twice. I have never seen anyone play to an audience like him. He was never afraid to take chances. I got lucky, and saw Queen with Adam live recently, and my jaw dropped. What a killer show they put on. Go see it!

Queen were terrific mate,m I’ve been lucky enough to see Freddie Mercury in the 8O’s and Adam Lambert to his credit was a great front man 30 years since I have seen Queen and this was just brilliant! @adamlambert Freddie would be so proud Having not seen Queen without Freddie until now - I’m so pleased that I saw them @TheO2 with Adam Lambert last evening. It was one of the most incredible shows I’ve seen. Adam Lambert doesn’t attempt to replace Freddie but pays great tribute to his memory - an honour You know you loty Queenies....we make people rich. Told my relatives not to expect any monies upon my death because I am throwing it all at Adam and Queen. Saw Freddie 5 times have to say this time around is twice the fun. Fellow Canadians at the bar who had seen Queen with Freddie have to admit Adam's range far surpasses Freddie's. Guy beside me had seen Freddie 3 times, Paul Rodgers 2 times. LOVED @adamlambert Lots of OMGs, phenomenal & wows. Told you, I said. I last saw Queen in 1986 at Wembley London, Freddy was awesome back then. I was happily surprised by Adam Lambert... boygeorgeofficial Went to see @adamlambert performing with #Queen in Sydney and it was fabulous. Adam’s voice is astounding and he does not need to apologize for not being Freddy Mercury. Adam brings his own flavor to those timeless songs and he is a wonderful artist in his own right. Loved the glittering 70s platforms. Brian singing ‘love of my life’ was beautiful. No need to apologize Brian you bring beauty and vulnerability to my fave Queen song! Roger on ‘It’s A Kind Of Magic’ was also full of feeling. Very Bowie-esque and I loved the drum solos and Brian’s axe lamenting. It was a night with everything. GO you will live for it! @adamlambert I saw queen 5 times 77-86. Saw u with the guys in 2014 and again on Wednesday in Sydney. U enhance their brilliance and it is just as enjoyable watching them now as it was with Freddie.credit to you. Haha my dad a massive Queen fan. My parents saw Freddie live. Yes Freddie not Freddy.
