I like Ken's responses to the comments. He obviously "gets" Brian and Roger's motivations in choosing Adam. He respects them for it.

I did not watch the vocal coach video about Marc Martel. I hope it did not suggest that he did the vocals for the BR movie. Didn't Brian say that MM's voice was NOT used, with the exception of maybe a few tiny fill-in spots? It was Freddie's own voice that was used for just about all of it. At least that's what I remember Brian saying. Correct me if I'm wrong. MM sounds a lot like Freddie. He does just fine as an impersonator. Adam has a technically better voice than Freddie did. The opinions of fans is just based on preference and loyalty. A comparison of MM and Adam is pointless. Apples and oranges. Hope Shosh's tease about "lots coming up" turns out to be US and the UK and beyond! I want to jump in that pool with Adam. Maybe rub some sun block on him. LOL He knows how to drive us crazy. Unfortunately he was under the impression, likely due to some of Marc's more nut job fans that Marc had done most of the vocals and was given no credit for it but quite a few corrected him including me. Marc's fans were on the warpath and are still claiming he did most of the vocals and that there's been a cover up 🙄 A few people posted clips of Rami mentioning Marc and giving credit for what he did so I suspect he has more of the full story now than when he made that vid.

lurleene, It's so true! MM was NEVER going to be chosen. Brian and Roger know him, but they never wanted him as a front man, even if Adam was never in the picture. MM's fans can love him all they want. It's beyond my comprehension why they keep saying that he should have been the one. Wasn't gonna happen. Never will. Now I have to go look at Adam in the pool some more.

LOL! I guess I will never understand the MM obsession for Queen over Adam. Brian and Roger have known M, and what he has to offer, for a very long time. It was never between Adam and MM. MM was not on their radar for the Queen frontman. I get that his fans love him, but that does not change the fact that Brian and Roger did not want him as their frontman. Why is that so hard to come to terms with? THEY did not want MM for the Queen frontman. Even if Adam never entered the picture, it would not be MM. But Adam did enter the picture and you can't take what he has accomplished and assume that MM would have done the same. It reminds me of some Idol fans who thought, but for Adam being in the way, their guy(s) would have been the one everyone was talking about and wanted on their shows. Adam was the one in demand and many more wanted to book and interview him, so they did. Adam was the one they were excited about and no other was going to take his place. Wishful thinking and fantasy was not the reality. There's a lot of them that are seriously delusional, they honestly think if they'd known Marc before Adam they would have chosen him but they are "stuck with Adam now" because of a contract or not wanting to hurt his feelings 🤦♀️ or any number of other ridiculous theories including he had a huge fan base to bring to the shows because no actual Queen fan would go etc. It's truly pathetic the rubbish they come up with and probably the reason Brian put that comment on his instagram the other week and Roger said what he did on the documentary. I think they'd both had more than enough of Martel's fans, they really do him no favours whatsoever.

I like Ken's responses to the comments. He obviously "gets" Brian and Roger's motivations in choosing Adam. He respects them for it. I tried to view the comments to see what was said. But as soon as I saw the "drag queen" comment I had to get out of there. The Idol days (and early in his career) when they would call him drag queen, madam, fa* or anything to try to insult and discredit him, still sting to this day. I know it shouldn't bother me now because Adam has accomplished so much but it does. I hope "Superpower" also has a lot of positive energy and messages for those who feel pushed aside. Can't wait to hear Adam singing the song.

I think they'd both had more than enough of Martel's fans, they really do him no favours whatsoever. Alternative facts! The truth is Queen Extravaganza was the brainchild of Roger who said there were so many Queen tribute bands, he wanted to put one together that was really good. Roger, and perhaps Brian, chose MM from those auditioning to imitate Freddie in the band. So, yes, they absolutely were aware of MM before anyone else was. But, they didn't hear his audition and say, "Gee, this guy is great! Let's forget Queen Extravaganza and just get MM to front us on tour around the world." Marc was never considered for the task. Brian and Roger have both said they were not looking for a new frontman. They figured their time performing as Queen was over. Until Adam showed up and they heard and experienced the magic. These facts have been stated over and over, but these days, we are being taught that facts don't matter, right?
