Now that's just ridiculous. I like Adam. I'm about as open minded a Queen fan that can be but c'mon now. (Mostly annoyed at the way the article is presented) Unlike Many Queen fans, I'm not annoyed at Brian's words. Talon, this is a click bait of the worst sort. Note that that they've placed only one tag on it - "adam lambert" - surely with the only purpose to get traffic out of Adam fans. Ignore! ( and this is coming from a person who truly enjoys QAL much more than Q)

That headline is designed to get attention and a reaction. It has nothing to do with anything that Brian actually said. IMO it should've have even been posted because it's just a piece of tripe twisting Brian's words and looking for hits.
As for "many" queen fans being annoyed, I don't think a few posters on QOL or QZ are indicative of an entire fanbase nor do I think anyone who hasn't seen Adam live can disregard Brian's opinion on the current shows v. the shows with Freddie since he is the one who has performed with both.
Well I didn't say most or all....but let me clarify - Unlike many Queen fans I have spoken too, most of which HAVE seen QAL. Please note again, I was not annoyed. But it is their right to be annoyed. And to be fair - Many of the Queen fans I have spoken to who have seen QAL they enjoyed their experience - they thought Adam was a great choice. It is interesting to note that the ones who saw QAL but NOT Queen were far happy with the experience. Most of the ones who saw both still had an enjoyable experience, were happy they went, and would go again even if it didn't hit the same heights as the original. And that's not a negative review at all. I would say it's more accurate to say that I don't think a few posters on QOL or QZ are indicative of an entire fanbase with regards to the vitriol and trolling type behavior...if that makes sense... Talon, this is a click bait of the worst sort. Note that that they've placed only one tag on it - "adam lambert" - surely with the only purpose to get traffic out of Adam fans. Ignore! ( and this is coming from a person who truly enjoys QAL much more than Q) I will ignore I just nearly spit my coffee out when I saw that headline. Stupid inflammatory article that is so detrimental to QAL that it's mind boggling...

This is a little OT but I can bring it back to Adam. It was claimed in certain quarters to belittle QAL's exceptional performance last week, that the UK XFactor judges give a standing ovation to all guest performers. Not true! www.youtube.com/watch?v=DNP6p1RCKoQ

Only thing truthful about that inflammatory article, is that Adam's voice is strong and that Adam has the endurance to deliver night after night and make it seem effortless. There were times that Freddie's voice was not up to par and Queen did cancel shows, years ago, because it (the shows) depended greatly upon Freddie's voice. Same as Queen now depends upon Adam and his vocal health.

There is nothing wrong with it being posted! It is clear that the article is garbage for hits, but there is no reason for it not to be posted.

You really don't need my comments on this, do you?

It's just a regurgitation of an interview that has been discussed already and it's not even an accurate reflection of what Brian said so IMO it only riles people up and brings out negativity and hurt feelings.
of course I was only offering my opinion that it shouldn't have been posted and since I'm not a moderator/admin my opinion is just that, my opinion.

No, you're right, you said MANY not most or all.
I'm sure many appreciate the way you're always relaying how other Queen fans feel. However, I'd prefer they come and post here themselves if they would like to share their feelings on the subject of QAL, rather than receive that information from a third party, so they can, if they wish, explain why they feel the way they do.

QUOTING PARTS OF Talon's Post - I agree with your conclusions of fan experiences. It makes perfect sense when you consider the effects of imprinting and fandom behavior. There is the original and there is someone who; while extremely talented, is not the original. Their preference for the original is just natural and perfectly understandable. The article is inflammatory foolish garbage...clickbait at its finest.
